NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 22
DUE PROCESS OF LAW

What is law if the ends of fanat- icism are attained One may we'll ask such question on glimpsing an item relating to a decision of Feder- al Judge James H. Wilkerson of the northern district of Illinois. on the forfeiture of property" in a prohi- bition case.
 Here is the item:
 Federal Judge James H. Wilker- son. of the northern district of Illi- nois. gave an order to an assistant United States district attorney. on August 25. says an Associated Press dispatch of the date. for forfeiting a building valued at $50,O00 in which two stills were; housed. The sale must be made by the commis- sioner of prohibition. The forfeiture is provided for under an old revenue act. Approval of this procedure was given by the attorney generals of flee in Washington, the dispatch says. The revenue from such sales will go to the United States treas. ury."
 Somebody here virtually. is> fined S5O,0OO because two stills were found on the property. "An old rev. enue act" of course. is not the en- forcement, act of more recent vint- tage;. but if such an old federal law can be made to work in Illinois it can be made to operate in any other state. In our opinion it is clearly un- constitutional.
 It is gratifying to learn that there are judges who think differently from Judge Wilkerson on such mat ters. The attempt to tie up property in New York under injunction pro- ceedings before trial on charges of liquor violations received a strenu- ous rebuke the other day from the bench. The judge held it was clearly unconstitutional to punish in this manner before court had had time to convict or acquit.
 But all such manifest travesties of justice as the Chicago case receive the unstinted approval of fanatical followers of prohibition batting. In the estimation of entirely too many people for the good of the country. nobody ought to have judicial rights where prohibition needs to be "en- forced" Under such pressure the due process of law clause in the Con- stitution goes overheard.
 Forfeiture of property, under any gutse, is repugnant to every true American's instinct for justice and fair-dealing. There are fool laws aplenty, mo doubt, on the statute books which if enforced in this en- frightened day-assuming we are en- frightened in everything as we think we are-woul9 work rank injustice Many of these have been revivified in order to put teeth into prohibi- tion enforcement.
 It is to be hoped the Chicago for feiture case is carried to the Su- preme Court of the United States.

THE CELEBRATION CONTINUES


 This is the day when the Memor- ial monument in Walnut Hill Is ded- icated. We printed an editorial on this subject yesterday and not much additional need be added at this time.
 But citizens should not overloook the memorial service which will be held in the park Sunday afternoon. This likewise will be an important part of the dedicatory events. Chor- us singing and the band will lend their efforts to this solemn occasion and the park undoubtedly will be crowded with appreciative listen CTS.
 The exercises today and tomor- row will be milestones in the history of this city. Not for 2S years has there been a similar event in this city-that being the time when the Soldiers and Sailors monument on the central triangle was dedicat- ed. The dedicatory exercises incident to the Spanish War Memorial in Willow Brook park, of recent mem- ory, was of course on much small- CT scale than either of the others.
 The Soldiers and Sailors monu- ment at the center was dedicated 35 years after the close of the Civil War. The Spanish War Memorial was dedicated 29 years after that conflict. But the Memorial monu- ment in Walnut Hill is being dedi- cated only 10 years after the close of the World War.

Hurricane Strikes Florida on 25th Anniversary of storm

By queer prank of fate the dis astrous hurricane which struck Florida the early part of this week. causing the death of hundreds and the loss of millions of dollars worth of property, occurred on the anni- versary of the terrific hurricane which visited the southern state 25 years ago. Both storms occurred on September 13 and laid waste the en- tire coast of eastern Florida. The storm in 1903 also struck the south- ern part of the state.
 This years hurricane started on the eastern curve of the Windward Islands and travelled over 1.50O miles of land and water. West Palm Beach received the full force of the storm while Jacksonville and Miami es. capped the fury of the terrific gale. Loss of property is being reported daily from numerous cities and towns and the death list is con- stantly growing. Help calls have been broadcast over the radio daily and the entire country has been asked to contribute to the Red Cross who are doing their best to relieve the misery and sufferings of the Florida residents.
 In 1903 Jacksonville and Miami were not SO fortunate as this year and countless buildings were torn apart and wrecked. 6chooners and steamships in the bay Z5 miles north of Miami were blown out to sea and sunk by the high tidal waves. Many bodies were washed ashore indicating that wrecks had occurred all along the shore. Many freak things happened during the storm. The car shed of the East Coast Railroad company in Miami was lifted from its foundations clear of the cars that were under it and demolished. but the cars

October ii Anniversary
 or Polish HcrO'S Death

If New Britain is true to it's tra- ditions, it will not let October II pass without suitably recognizing the date as marking the 150th anniver- sary of the death of Brigadier Gen. eral Casimir Pulaski, whose name is familiar to every boy and girl who has studied the history of the Rev. olutionary war. It is particularly appropriate that New Britain, the home of 50 many residents of Polish nativity or descent, should on that day manifest its interest ina hero of other generations who crossed the sea to help the American colonists win their independence from gov ernment which was obviously not qualified to govern.
 Pulaski cast his lot with the col onist not as a soldier of fortune but az native of . land which had felt the iron heel of oppression. Fearless in the face of discouraging military conditions. he joined the struggling American army with his heart bursting with sympathy and a de- termination to contribute as much as any individual could give to it's cause. Here was the ultimate ex- pression of patriotic ardor. As reward for his services he was pro- noted to the office of brigadier gen. eral of the Continental army and chief of dragons on September Is, 1777-151 years ago last saturday. and in March of the following year he was given the exalted position of commander of an independent corps known as Pulaski's Legion. On Oc- tober 9, 1779, he participated in the siege of the British at Savannah, Georgia, and received wounds which caused his death two days later.
 Thousands of miles from his homeland. on soil made sacred by the blood of patriots, Pulaski breathed his last. Like so many other of his countrymen. he gave his life in the cause of liberty, even though it might not be the liberty of his own nationals. In this re- spect he was the forerunner of le- gions of Poles who offered their bodies on the altar of human free dom 20 that the flag of these United States might float victoriously over widely scattered battlefields.

 dependence. Pulaski, the Pole.
 Untted States BoCouiAg
 . Nation 0f Elderly Nca
 Tho United States may eventually become . nation of oldsters. The statistical bureau of . life insurance company foresees the time, when. If present conditions continue, the number of individuals in the country under 20 years of ago will have de- clined approximately one-fourth. as compared with the general popula- ton in 1920. and the number over 66 will have more than douhied. When that time is reached. fs the population in the 20-to-6l-yeae ere periods will be 57.7 per cent e4,the total.
 A steadily declining birth rate ind the recent restrictions on immigfA- ton are largely responsible for this trend. and. according to the statisti- clans. ''unless there is a decided in- provement in the mortality. the time will come when only 31.s per ce4t of our population will be composet of persons under age 20. while 1e.a per cent will be over S5."
 However. this shifting of the center of population to . higher age. which is taking place. already has had the effect of increasing the average individual earnings. since the average man above the unskilled laboring class increases in earning capacity until we'll past his t0th year. &
 Between 1870 and 1920. according to the company, the proportien< of young men under 20 in this country decreased from slightly under half the male population to q trihe above 40 per cent of it. During the same period. the proportion of males be- tween 20 and 44 years increased from s4.s per cent to Ss.2 per cent, while the men in the 45.64 year age group have increased during that period from 2.9 per cent to 4.6 per cent. The relative earning capacity measured by a standard which elim- mates the change in the value of the dollar. has increased moro than IS per. cent during the same period in consequence of this shifting of the age groups of the male population.
 Ut is difficult to compute the basal age distribution that would result in years to come, if our pres ent mortality rates and fertility con- tinued unchanged at their existing values." says the company's Statisti- cal Bulletin. This computation has actually been carried out using. how ever, the 1920 figures of fertility and The figures SO computed show that, even if present fertility and mortality rates remain unchang- ed, we are slated for further diminu- tion of our young contingent. and in- crease of our share of old persons. until, ultimately there would be 35.l per cent of persons under 20, and s.4 per cent of persons over 65.
 Even this does not represent the final scene. For there can be no doubt that. in the course of time, ul. the fertility of our produc- ing age groups must decline to the point that will make the population stationary. If by that time our has not materially im- proved. 50 that we may compute es- on the basis of our present age specific death rates, we shall find ourselves ultimately with Sl.6 per cent of our poulation composed of person under aged 20 and l0.7 per cent over 65."

Bananas

OuAb91BAS
 The novice generally half-peels a banana with the fingers and eats 1t with the petals thus formed droop- ing over the cuffs. Obviously, if your cuffs are not reversible, this will give you away next night.
 The correct method is to peel the banana completely and cut 1t into pieces of suitable size for the fork. To avoid monotony l have found that an excellent plan is to divide it into twelve pieces, one for each of the tribes of Israel, and test your Biblical knowledge by mur- muring the name of each piece to yourself as you consume 1t. Judah should of course be larger than the others. and Manasseh should be eaten in two bites.
 It is as we'll to have correct list jotted down on your cuff, or you will find that the difficult ones, such as Naphtali, Asher, and Zebu- lun. will be left unrecollected on your plate.
 Grapes
 The difficulties confronting the srape-eater are enormous.
 On the whole, it is perhaps pre- ferable to avoid raw grapes and to concentrate on this fruit in a manufactured and more exhilarating form, such as claret. port, or champagne.

 Man of Many Accomplishments
 Mathematician, musician, author and artist are some of the accom- plishments which may be accredited to Robert R. Goff, director of math- ematics in the Senior High, Gen. tral Junior High and Nathan Hale Junior High schools. However, pressure of his duties has caused him to foresake music and art. all of his spare time being confined. to plans and ideas for the furtherance of mathematics.
 This is his tenth year in the school system of New Britain. Dur ing that time the mathematics de- pertinent has progressed rapidly and the fact that it's director has been busy at times in compiling ma terial for text books has never hin- dered the progress of the study in the schools. .-
 Some of his books have been used in foreign countries while others have found their way into schools in every part of New England. So successful have been his works that the publishers are always anxious and willing to take his latest offer ings.
 Mir. Golf was attracted to art and music through his love for them. He studied under one of the coun- try's greatest artists while he was teaching in Providence.
