The triennial elections are due again

Government Plans.
The government has introduced into
tha Dali several bills to alter the con-
stitution in respect of the Senate elec-
tions. They abolish altogether popular
election and prescribe that the Sena-
tors shall be elected from a selected
panel of suitable persons by the MEM
bers of the Dali and the Senate voting
together by proportional representation.
They propose to reduce the minimum
age of Senator from 35 years to 80.
Mr. De Valera desires to abolish the
Senate. but holds that, while 1t lasts,
the people should have a direct voice
i'll determining its membership. The
Senate however has no real power.

chooses to accept its decisions, the bills

n &c State Senate has provoked acute

Committee Proposals.
This plan follows mainly the recon-
men iations of committee representing
al parties but the recommendations
were carried in the committee by mar
rev majorities. The Senate numbers
90 members, each paid annually Si,800.
They were originally appointed by the
nomination of prominent persons, who,
according 10 the constitution, must have
rendered service to the state. and the
Intention was TO give to the old Union
iSt minority in Ireland a share of the
Business of the nation. The Senate.
therefore. includes several peers and
MANY men eminent in the class Of ter
SftorialiSts and big business men.
The constitution prescribes that one
fourth Of the Senators shall retire every

popular election. The voters. both men
and women, must be over so years of
age. The whole country is taken as
one constituency and the voting is by
proportional representation Last elec-
tim. in 1925, revealed the impractical
bility of this arrangement. There were

TALKING MOVIES

II is not surprising that talking movies are due to arrive in New Britain. They arc winning ground almost everywhere and goodly part of the film industry regards them as the logical development that will add renewed lustre and popular interest to the picture field.
 The effect upon the film actors is profound. Some of them are ex- cellert at pantomilne but are poor on the speaking stage. Many speak ing stage stars have been failures in the films because they were poor contortionists in the silent drama. If the speaking movies develop to the logical conclusion that the industry comprehends there naturally will be an entirely new crop Of Foremost actors 'in the near future. That must mean that some of the present favor ties will have to retire from their earnings and return to more ordi- nary pursuits.
 As the takers in the film world develop. including the playing of an accompanying score by a large sym phony orchestra which can be repro duced in any theatcr wired for the piIrpose, fl means that in the future every thcalcr Hill b" able 10 provide 1he highest grade of music as well as the film. This wholesale disselni- nation of films with the finest pos slb'c accom- paniment may possess Q high cultural value 10 the millions who follow film drama.
 Most important. Of course, is tn. possibility Of making the dramatis pcrsonae speak. as they du on the legitimate stage. We in the smaller cities have heen bemoanlng the fact that the legitimate stage which used 10 flourish in the smaller places has been thrown aside in favor Of films. Now we are beginning to realize that. through the progress of invention. the epeaking stage IS coming back through th. very same medium which had dis placed it.
 1 The outlook is intriguing.

It is an in stitution that represents the flower of young womanhood in these parts the vote for Smith indicates clearly that the Empire State executive has a good opportunity 10 carry Con- necticut in spite of what J. Henry Roraback said some time ago relative to how thoroughly the Republican party would defeat him in this state.
 This is the second straw vote ih the state of which We have knowl- edge that has been carried by Smith Straw votes may not mean every thing, but they mean something; at least. they mean as much now as they did in 1924, when the Republ- cans easily carried all the straw votes In sight.

Washington. June 15.-Forecast for Southern New England: Fair and cooler tonight. Sataurday fair. cooler on the east coast. Fresh north winds.
 Forecast for Eastern New York: Fair tonight: slightly cooler in ex- treme south portion: Saturday part ly cloudy: cooler on coast and in north and central portions.
 Conditions: The disturbance of yesterday afternoon and last night moved northeastward to the Mari time provinces and fair weather prevails generally throughout all portions of the country this morn ing. Showers were reported from the Gulf states. portions of the western plains states. the north Pacific coast districts and from the middle and north Atlantic coast regions. A strong area of high pressure central over the upper lake districts is the dominating fac. tor now controlling the weather conditions east of the Rocky moun- tains. It is producing pleasant and cooler weather in nearly all northern districts east of the plains states.
 Conditions favor for this vicinity fair weather with warm days and cool nights.

The proba ability that Rora- back decided 10 be recorded in the Hoover annals as a supporter rather than an opponent and attempt to retrieve his lost prestige as a picker of winners is just as good a story as the other.
 The Roraback delegation should have had more sense in the first place. It might have known that with Vermont, Masea chusetts and that tho Presidents desire was known and respected by the more astute hieher-ups Tn the party.
 Roraback gambled on the premise that if a stampede for Cool idge had been engineered he and his , delegation might have obtained the credit for starting it. He speculated on the chance of being a great hero, a president maker; and having lost he has the appearance of a potential hero who failed.

THE HOOVER SWEEP

The candidacy of Herbert Hoover for the Republican nomination was successful because 1t deserved to be. His nomination on the first ballot by SS7 ,otes-when only 545 were need cd to clinch the place-indicates the widespread popularity of the com merce secretary even among politi- clans.
 The convention wasted consider able time last night listening 10 the nominating speeches on behalf of also-rans. Only one Of these. Senator Curtis of Kansas, was greeted with resounding acclaim in the form of q spontaneous demonstration. but that was more Of 2. personal demons'ra ton for the man rather than q re flection Of his chances for the nomination.
 Governor Lowden of Illinois, in withdra wing his candidacy, e to b" commended rather than maligntd as "quittor." He had stated public ly that he did not care to be the nominee on 4 farm plank he lid not believe in and his high conc ption Of public duty spIrred him to stick 10 his determination.

THE GAIN IN THE AJR MAIL.

The 19 air mail routes are steadily gaining in the transportation Of mail. the last report having it that nearly 200, ,0o0 pounds are being carried every month.
 The Boston-New York route is i'm portant, but not more so than most Of the others. The record for May was that 3.291 pounds of mail were carried over this line. This is scarce ly more than the poundage between, Chicago and St. Louis. Is less than between Cheyenne and Pueblo, and is scarcely more than over the new line between Atlanta and New Or leans. The line between New York and Atlanta, also recently establish cd has a much higher record than the New England line, the May re- port showing that S,566 pounds were carried over it.
 There are some lines that carry less mail than the New England route, but they do not serve an en- tire section of the country like our line does. The inter-city line between Cleveland and Detroit. for instance, only carried IA pounds in May--the lowest in the list of air lines. The Detroit and Chicago line only carried 1,524 pounds: the Cleveland Pitts burg line only 2,550 pounds; the Buffalo Cleveland only 1.272 pounds; the Dallas Galveston only 1880; the Chicago Cincinnati 2.575.
 The New York Chicago. with 53,- olS pounds does not head the list as some might expect. The top of the list goes to the Chicago-San Fran cisco line, with 56,654 pounds. The Salt Lake City-Los Angeles line stands high with a poundage of :1.- 747; while the Chicago Kansas City Dallas line with a poundage of l3,- 44S is very successful.
 The deduction is that the greater the distance to be covered the more popular the air mail service becomes For short distances the air mail does not yield enough advantage over trains. For instance, a letter mailed in Boston at the close of a business day and destined for New York will be delivered at the first morning de- livery in New York regardless Of whether il is sent by air mail or by uain.
 For long distances, however, the air mail cannot be touched by the other channels of mail transporta- ton and the swifter service is thor oughly earning its popularity.
