DEMOCRATS IN THE FUTURE

The Hartford Times devotes con- siderable space in its editorial col- umns to a review of what might, can, or should be done with refer ence to the future of the Demo- cratic party.
 The Republican party has the ad- vantage of regimented thought. opines the editor; the Democratic party is the victim of varied thought and varied temperament.
 Near 15,o0o,ooo citezens voted for Al Smith. The problem before the Democratic party is to diversity that number of votes so as to ob- tain the highest electoral count.
 According to the vote in the cleo toral college, the Hoover victory was a landslide; according to the popular vote it was just an ordi- nary NlclOIy.
 The Times closes with saying the Democrats need a candidate with all. the character, ability. magnetism of Al Smith. and without the Smith weakness. Then asks the country to find him.
 The party has four years in which to examine the haystack. meanwhile Hoover will have the op- portunity to strengthen himself as q chief executive of sterling quali- ties; or perhaps make a few mis- takes. Frankly. we haven't known Hoover to be a bear for making mistakes.

Sand dunes to right of them, Sand dunes to left Of them, Sand dunes behind them. Sun -bleachc and scorching. Stumbling their way. unseen. Mocked at by the mirage green, Followed by vultures keen, Parchcd as the fires af Hell. Nobody knows. l ween, How awfully dry I seem
 To have got the six hundred. Din! Din! Din! Where's Old Gunga Din? The dust on the bar.room is sodden ] wet,
 Wet with the beer of the last bottle broke,
 The doorway is damned and the ten der's all in,
 And the customers blind with thirst and smoke. ! The last of the beer has ebbed away. And whiskey's dream and it's time toclose,
 When hoarse voice stilled the mob with Say.
 "I'm awful dry. Nobody knows." Breathes there man with throat so dry
 Who never to himself did sigh. Nobody knows, how dry l am." (You're all wet.-Editor.)

THE HOOVER MARKET,

Had Al Smith been elected the present descent of the stock market unquestionably would have been blamed to loss of confidence by the people in the country's business out lok.
 For some reason one reads or hears of no such lack of confidence since Herber Hoover got the top vote.
 The whole sorry mess is explain ted on speculative and economical with politics.

 Q. Why is kerosene not con- sidered . good anti-freeze for auto- mobile radiators?
 A. Tho objection to kerosene in an automobile radiator is the odor of tho heated kerosene. When heated it evaporates and is liable to cause a fire If near | flame: on warm days in winter there is a tendency for the engine to heat on account of difference in the CO., efficient of heat of kerosene and water or alcohol: kerosene rots ra- diator tubing and will also deposit a greasy mist over the car.

But Mir. Foley continues:

We find that the ruling price from these creamories. to the grocers. during that year, vas from PC 10 3oc per pound, and of course. the butter was of the very high est quality. and brought right into the various stores, by the creamerics themselves.
 since that year. with the growth of the population in the state. and particularly the increased demand for milk. these creameries commence ol to dwindle. and one by one. to go out Of business, until today there are not more than five Of them left in inc state. the large cities having drawn the milk supply away from the farms. and hence. nearly 9S per cent of all the butter that is con- sumed in the City of Hartford, comes from points outside of the state. The consumption of butter in Hartford is figured conservatively at 5000 pounds each day in the week. throughout the year.

NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT

NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT
 Down in Plainville there is some consternation over the fact that 70 many residents of the town earn their victuals in New Britain. They say that Plainville is degenerating into a bedroom for New Britain.
 Assuming that this is 50. what difference does it make? It puts Plainville on at least as high a foot ing as Brooklyn, N. Y.. the bed- room of Manhattan. And Brooklyn. in spite of this, is no mean city.
 Plainville. too. regardless of where it's people are employed. is no mean town. It is growing bet ter town every year.

The same sad record holds good for other foodstuffA In 1900 Con. nseticut farmsrs supplied ss per cent of the eggs consumed In the state. Today they supply only 10 per cent of the eggs consumed in Hart ford. MT. Foley says. aud the same ratio probably goes for other of the states consuming centers. Ninety per cent of our eggs nowadays come from Indiana. Ohio. Michigan. Minnesota and Illinois. and from Sc eptember to January they come from California. Few thought. per- haps. that hen fruit as we'll as other fruit came from California.
 Connecticut never had an out. standing reputation as . cheese manufacturing state. but years ago there were five or six cheese fac- tories in the state-about one for each county. But the demand in the cities for raw milk drove the cheese factories out of business. Today the larger percentage of cheese con- sumed in Connecticut comes from Wisconsin. New York state. . pioneer of cheese production. has had tho same experience as Con- necticut. the cheese factories that once existed having been driven out of business by the demand for milk from the large cities. In other words. the cheese factories could not com- pete for milk with the cities.
 Back of this metamorphosis Is the development of the refrigerator car. which has done more for western creameries, eggs and cheese than any other one factor. In 1S9G there were only a few crude refrigerator cars on the railroads; today they are floating ice boxes of marvellous efficiency. Shippers in the early days had no way of protecting their pro- ducts during hot weather: today every western food plant has effi- cient mechanical refrigeration on the premises and the product is similarly protected during shipment to the east.
 Mir. Foley also talks of the benefit i of cold storage plants to farmers and consumers. For example:
 Cold storages take care of sur plus products in periods of greatest production. carrying them perfect ly into periods of least production, and equalzing the price to the great benefit of both the farmer and the consumer. AS an example. today. if it were not for storage eggs. the l PI iCC ol dpSV1ulCiy lINSL lotu S& 6c would be from S2 to 8 per dozen, and were it not for the summer butter carried in cold storage. the price of fresh made butter would be about S1.50 per pound. and the price of cheese at least soc per pound. These factors have helped con- sumers in Connecticut to draw upon the west for foods and to the detri- ment of native agricultural indus try. The condition being exactly as Mir. Foley depicts 1t. there is no likelihood that Connecticut will ever be able to raise a much larger per- centage of it's own food. desirable as that may be from some standpoints. We simply are living in a different world than in 1890.
