THE SMITH-STRATON DEBATE

II Al smith and Kew. DIR. StratOn
meet in debate, as it appears they
will, there promises to he a revival
of old time political methods when
rivals for an honor met in public
forum and discussed the issues in
volved. This particular session, If it
materialize, will not be verbal tilt
one aud one of his opponents. 1t is
safe to say that a broadcast of the
affair would gain many listeners
about the country over the radio and
a large crowd will undoubtedly be
attracted to the scene of the fray
on the night it takes place,
DR.. Straton and Al Smith are dis
tinctly different types of men. The
formers education has been obtain
ed through schooling, he is an in
telligent and cultured person with
his culture gained through long
study. AL Smith is just as intelligent
If not as cultured in the sense of his
having been as great student, he
is possessed of an alert and active
mind quick to size up a situation and
find adequate answer to an argu-
ment. Smith is smart, Straton is cul-
tured. Probably Smith knows his
particular field. that of politics and
legislation, much better than his
opponent. We also venture to assert
that he, being up from the streets,
is much more familiar with the
common people and their likes and
dislikes. He has been in closer touch
with them than has the preacher.
When it comes to verbal inter-
change We believe that Smith will
prove the most successful, even
though his opponent is no newcomer
to public speaking. The debate
should prove a victory for the
Democratic presidential candidate
The big affair will come at time
when the advantage Will accrue to
Smith, even though he is only good
second in the debate. AS publicity
feature for a campaign there could
be nothing more effective planned
and staged. Undoubtedly the radio
hook-up will be used and beyond
doubt there will be thousands pos
sibly millions. Of listeners of every
faith and every political belief all
over the country, part OF them hop
ing to hear Smith we'll trimmed, part
wanting to hear the Reverend
gentleman get the worst of the inter-
change. Consequently we await more
formal announcement OF the debate
and We have just as much interest
as the rest.

FARMINGTON AVENUE.
SPEEDWAY

That intersection Of highways at
Pennington avenue, Washington
and Beaver streets has become one
of the most dangerous in the city
and with yesterdays unfortunate
of three children, lost her life, 1t
seems high time that police aut orr
ties took cognizance of conditions
and enforced SAFETY measures there.
Fridays death was the second at
this point within few months and
have been -four accidents there, one
at least which had police court
sequel. Furthermore, observers STATE,
there is hardly day but there is a
near accident at this intersection In
which autos or pedestrians and autos
figure.
At the point in question Washing
ton street and Beaver street meet
at an angle and merge into Farm
ington avenue which continues as
the bottom part Of Y. Their. also
are other intersccting streets near.
Vehicles turning from either Wash
lngton or Beaver street into the
get d good view around the corner
and eAtrtme caution should be OBJ
served. Likewise, those continuing on
the straighta way in either direction
should exercise greatest care at this
point
Numerous complaints have been
made of the custom Of autoiets to
speed down these streets. Motorists
are wont to race down the Farm
ington avenue hill and many times
come abreast of each other on
Washington street and then race
along side by side. Going in the
opposite direction, the same is said
TO hold true, while single ears are
said to use this stretch of highway

strange influences on some people.
A visitor from New London and two
young couple from New Britain are
receiving considerable joshing from
their friends because Of vacation in
cidents.
The two couples have just return
ed from a motor camping tour Of
the New England states. They re-
port the trip a success all but the
first night. 1t seems that the Wife
of one man and the husband of the
other woman are inclined to be
somewhat nervous. During tbs
night they heard the sound OF
someone prowling around the tent
and a swishing as though intruders
were brushing up against the can
vas.
In few minutes other campers
nearby were startled to see the
nervous husband in his silk pajamas
and the nervous other wife in her
pink negligee, she with a lantern
and he with an axe. out looking for
camp burglars. Investigation the
next day revealed the fact that y
wild turkey had flown of its perch
during the night and had attempted
to roost on the tent in preference to
a nearby tree.
The New London man Is a hust-
ly Tuesday forenoon and called at
the Herald office asking where the
Sons of st. George convention was
being held. He was advised that he
was just a week early, the conven-
ton opens August II. He refused
to tell his name. but added that u
few years ago the newspapers said
he was fatally injured. Like the re-
port of Mark Twan's death, which
the author said was greatly exaE-
gerated. the New London man in
sists that the accident was not IA
tai. He also says he is glad he ar
rived IN time for the convention.
A nation wide plan is being ad-
vanced for the adoption Of courses
in automobile mechanics and opera
ton In educational institutions Of
the country.

Be On Time

A meeting is called for s o'clock.
It begins at 8, 10 or IL. So firmly
has this habit become fixed among
people of color until now we have
a special kind of time-"C. p" time.
Very few of our public meetings start
on scheduled time. We do not value
time. If the hour is set for say, 8
o'clock most of us think it is all right
to appear at 10. Have you ever heard
the remark, "The program will not
begin until an hour late anyway"
In the matter of appointments, this
same laxity is shown as to time. An
appointment is made for a certain
hour, it is kept from one to two hours
later. Most of us have no apprecia-
ton of the other fellows time. We
think it is within our right to keep
other people waiting. In fact we do
not think at all. An appointment is
made, we appear when we get there.
IL is a disgusting practice. 1t shows
a reckless disregard for other people.
1t should and can be stopped. Those
in charge of meetings, banquets, ct
cetera should begin their programs
as scheduled and not wait for the
crowd. If it is known that the pro-
gram will begin on time the people
will make special effort to get there
at the hour set. Such procedure will
go long way to break up the des-
picable habit of always being late.
