AN EAST INDIAN INCIDENT

By Dr. Walter F.. TraprOck
 The marriage of Miss Nancy Anne Miller to the Maharajah of Indore intrigued me enorm ously, for the Raj" or Jolly Rajah' as 1 used to call him. and I are old friends. We were room mates at Oxford and, on account of o,A flirtations with the buNom barmaidS of Market street, we were known as the Kings of lndore and Outdoor Sports"
 The Rajah and l retired to his domain on the banks of the Ganges, making the last stages of the jour- hey on the royal elephants.
 As We approached the Palace first set eyes on the Princess Banka 6 maid of the highest caste and lnaddenly beautiful. To say that fell for her is right. l fairly leaped from my howdah and grovelled al her feet. Lady," I said, You arc there." She was, indeed, there with bells on and little else! Need say that our friendship ripened into love and then some.
 But a difficulty arose. People be- gan talking and at length the Rajal spoke to me seriously. You must marry the Princess" he said, "ol be fed to my tigers. It is the law | Take your choice: Banka or tho tigers" In vain I protested that was a leader of our Rotary Clul o,1 liIyau.iSn aff;ap..d fo NicS Mar. tha Boiles, the daughter of my Head Deacon.
 | "Send for your Martina he said "and start little Harem of youl ! own. No home is complete without one.'
 i The idea of Martha changing hel gingham waist and long skirt fol q cow-bell and a string of beads Wa. unthinkable. though the Rajah as sured me that the change would dt her good. But his words suggested { way out.
 I wrote to Martha exactly as m, | host dictated, painting an allurint picture of her life as my EasterI gazelle and limiting delicately tha she. would have company. It wal three months before her repl! reached me and what a three months. but when it came i made our tropic weather feel lik, Greenland'S icy mountains, l showed it to the Raj wht i smiled. "A lady who can write 1: letter like that might be interest ing" he said, but I doubt if sh, would fit into our quiet atmosphere There is only one thing to be done ] will marry Banka myself. Accord ing to our statutes, that cleans Ill everything and she will jus round out the dozen. -
 Now I ask you, could anything b' more sporting than that?

"EDuCATING" MOTORISTS

Having "educated" pedestrians more or less thoroughly to recognize the advantages of obeying the downtown traffic lights, the police department now has d neat scheme foot to "educate" the motorists not Q step on the gas when the amber light shines. The idea is to teach them to wait until the green light flashes giving them the right of way.
 That sounds reasonable. One of the mean effects of the traffic lights has been that motorists began .hugging forward the moment the amber lights went on, irrespective of the fact that ill many cases pc ,lestrians were only half way across he streets.

25 Tears Ago Today

Representative Cooper will prob- ably have busy time of it in the House next week when the resolu- tion in regard to the city's water bill comes up for action. Bristol is looking after its interests astutely. Although New Britain by law has water rights on the Peauabuck, Bristol has purchased a sawmill with large watershed and clainfs We cannot touch it. There seems to be a colored man in the woodpile somewhere.
 A local minister yesterday said in lis sermon that these are critical times in New Britain industry There is great deep movement in our midst which. like a small hole in a reservoir dam, grows larger unless stopped up. Life goes into every lock and butt made. Tho life of polisher and buffer is often cut short. Every dollar of riches has the cross of blood upon it."
 Fred A. Searle will be one of the delegates from the South church to the annual spring meeting of the Central conference in Meriden.
 The directors are considering re- pairing the Opera House, and it is said that if the floor is lowered J. Claude Gilbert may lease the place. There was a sharp and damaging bicycle collision at West Main and 1 Washington streets last evening, and it took Chief Rawlings to settle the argument which followed. One cyclist had smashed his wheel in two but was uninjured. while the other had cut his head, so the chief prevailed upon them to call it even.
 There is said to be opposition to the proposed charter amendment which would provide a salary for the chairman of the street committee. ] Judge Cooper and Clerk Mitchell have had lot of trouble since it was discovered that the police chief has no right to accept a bond from a prisoner. At o'clock this morn- ing bibulous friend of an arrested man reused Judge Cooper from bed by rapping on the door and ring ing the bell at the same time. Judge Cooper has made few l pointed and forceful speeches in the legislature. but belated neigh Dor who overheard him this morn- ing says that his epigrams were of the sort that make public speaker.

FIRST CONGREGATIONAL PLANS

The First Congregational church. which has made public its plans to construct buildings to cost $45o.o0o at West Main and Lexington streets, is building we'll for the future. The picture of the new edifice and ac- companying buildings made a favor able impression. The tone of the architecture is preponderatinsl New England, type that one meets with in profusion only in New Eng iand and one dating from early times.
 The congregation is 10 be con @ratulated upon the beautiful struc- lures it is planned to build. II is notable that for an architect the congregation did not need to go beyond it's own mem bership, w. s. Brooks providing a sst of plans of such artistic value hat they easily met with the ap- probation of his fellow parishioners, The new church will be another monument to the distinguished ar nhitect resident in the city.
 The time is approaching when one is justified in speculating what character of building will be erec- ed upon the present site when it is sold. That it is the most prominent corner in the city not occupied by 4 commercial structure is known to all. Perhaps the city's first skycrap- "l will be erected there, real estate men telling Us that the cost of the band and present buildings is so nigh that only that type of structure gan be considered as likely to bring dequate financial returns. Yet one lrver can tell
 once the choice site at Main and 'hurch streets is sold 1t will not fake long for the congregation 10 construct it's new church home on West Main street. This change has 5een q long time in developing but all indications point to early activi- \. With the removal of the present .difice the city's downtown section ~ill undergo q radical transiorlra- ion. Ii is di(ficuIt 10 realize, per 1ope. that ihc old landmark and ita -riro will pass from 'h~ scene with 2 comparatiyolr few years. II tion as well as he city.

are in trouble they go 10 a good lawyer. Why, when in need of financial advice, not go 10 good and reliable firm in the community :. A more general application of this principle would solve all Mir. Shippee's worries and make it un- necessary to go to the extent of pro tecting the foolish from their in- Nostment follies.
 Such idealism, we suppose, is hope less. In all reliability the state will have to steel itself to the application of some special law designed to pro tect the money-mad from the money grabberS.

sense he Was martyr in d cause that was not worth the effort. Communism never had much Of a chance in the United States because on the whole conditions were over whelmingly against its germination. We are not perfect and sometimes harbor things of which we are not proud; but it is the almost unani- nous verdict that the way toward reform does not lie in smashing everything we have, good and bad alike. What men like Haywood could not understand is that the American people prefer to move cautiously in adopting change, and that in addition to reforms of what ever nature we accept, we insist most of all on stability during the process. All Haywood and his kind had to offer was a dream and a general upset in trying to attain it like a man falling down steps and fatally injuring himself during a nightmare We simply didn't care for that sort of a nightmare, and when Haywood insisted on feeding us the wrong kind of medicine we protected ourselves from the people who would forcefully despoil us of our liberties
 After all. despite the pretty phrases and mental blandishments of the Communists as they exist in Russia, who is more tyrannical than they? Who more effcctually blast all opposition? There is an inseparable gulf between Communism and so- ciety as We have developed it; and when all measurements are taken it will be found that all classes of ln- Giividuals have more liberty of ac- ton under our system than under the tyrannical system of the Rus sian prolctariat, which from its foundations up is built on class rule and not popular rule. This Is the sort of thing Haywood wanted 0 bring to this country and he failed because We rightly decided we would have none Of it.

"SOCIAIISIIC" LEGISLATION

Having succeeded in circumyent- ing the power lobby which sought to prevent the operation of Muscle Shoals as q power generating plant Congress now stands charged with indulging in "socialistic" legislation.
 By way of explanation, social istic" legislation is any kind of legls- lation the big boys don't like. It Is like calling a person a "bolshevil' when one doesn't agree with him. Both terms long ago have lost what ever pungency they originally possessed. The Socialist party in the lnited States numbers but an in- finitesimal proportion of the total voters, while genuine bolsheNiks are as rare as soda fountains in Labra- dor. But all the same the terms are convenient 10 apply-it is compara- lively easy 10 claim that legislation is ''socialistic" and congressmen vot- ing for it arc "bolsheyiks." Trouble is, however, the terms prove nothing and don't even stop the legislation.
 There is nothing in the Constitu- ton to hinder the government from operating a power plant. There is nothing in the Constitution giving a monopoly of interstate industry. to q power trust or any other kind Of trust. The government has operated shipping lines, and during the. war it operated the railroads. The gov ernment set up a Transportation act designed 10 help the railroads and put them on their feet-and it has done so: even the hard ridden New Haven is getting back on its doggies. The government operates a vast printing establishment in Washing ton and sells books and pamphlets to the public in competition with private industry, and as a large part of the output consists of pamphlets designed to aid the agricultural in dustry the newspapers which have large farming circulation do not ob- ject because the farmers would be affronted. The government also, through the parcels post, competes with the express companies. 1t is in the banking business through the postal savings banks. And so on. The government also aids business in in- numerablc ways, and we rather think this is one way of having a hand in business in most effective manner. Business has a right to rely on government to q certain extent. but if the government wants to run a power plant of vast scope after eX- pending $150,00o,0 ,0oO on if, that is nobody's business but that of the gov ernment.

TALE OF TWO BILLS

On the same day the Senate passed the farm relief bill and the merchant marine bill. AS the New York World points out, both measures have much in common. "One appropriates s40o,000,0o0 from the federal treasury to be used as a revolving fund for the aid of agriculture; the other provides a similar fund Of S250, ,00o,00 for the aid of shipping, besides an annual subvention of sev- cral millions for carrying the mails"
 In other words, one bill is as ''socalistic" as the other. Yet the same newspapers usually which op- pose the agricultural subsidy are grand proponents of the shipping subsidy; where they find the farm bill ''socialistic' they find the ship ping bill d beautiful and necessary example of governmental aid. To ascertain just how highly the ship. ping venture is thought of one need to go no further than New London. which hopes to become q great At Iantic port through government aid 10 the new private steamship line. And there is the matter of the Cape Cod canal-it was regarded as q per tectly legitimate field for private enterprise until it was discovered that the thing did not pay. when the government could become "S6ciaIis- 1 tic' enough to buy it.
 ! The President ie q strong oppo- ! nent of government enterprise ill private business. But in speaking Of the farm relief and the merchant ! marine bills the World projects the 10 subsidlze private business at the expense of the taxpayers. Most of l the reasons which the President may offer Tor approving or disappearing the one will apply with equal force to the other. From present indica- tions, however, he will approve the 1 ship subeidy and veto the farm sub sidy. What is good for shipbuilders and shlpoWners is apparently not good for the farmers"
