J. HENRY AND THE SENATE

{ The idea that J. Henry Rorabacl
 may project himself upon tn.
 senatorial scenery is not taken witt
 that degree of raillery that the in
 cidcnt deserves. It's seriou: thought to some Connecticut editors who realize fully that if J. Henry
 really wanted to go into the utilit,
 business on larger scale than his
 opportunities in Connecticut afford
 he could railroad himself Into the
 Senate in some such highfalutin
 manner as the organization used to
 put Hiram Bingham there. There are
 various ways Of doing this and J. Henry knows all of them.
 There ts the Waterbury American, for instance. It publishes an editorial article which leaves one in doubt whether what it says is serious or a subtle dig at the easy going political attributes of the people of the state. Says the American:
 The fact that Mir. Roraback is a potentially and sometimes really absolute autocrat of Connecticut Re publicanism does not have to be talk en on faith in this state. Everybody knows it. The fact that Mir. Rora- back makes good use of his political to foster his own and his associates private business interests IS not a matter for speculation. Everybody knows that, too.
 Knowing both these things and a great many more about Mr. Rora- back. the electoral majority of Con- necticut has yet not only tolerated his dominance of the state Republi- can party but enthusiastically idol lzes him for it. Why should Mir. Roraback not nominate himself for he Senate if he chooses? He has the pest of reasons to believe the people would support him. They always do. And aside from Gov. Trumbull, Rep. [ilson and Rep. Merritt, there Is not Il all Connecticut, from Pemberwick o Pawcatuck, so obviously logical" candidate as the smoothly forceful ]. Henry Roraback of North 'anaan.
 1f in reality the people of Con- 'ecticut are as enthusiastic about J. lenry's'rule as this excerpt would indicate there is something radically 'rong with the Nutmeg mind. We oubt whether the grand old party f the state is as complasant as this
 The attitude is more one of toler- uon. The party has J. Henry hang lg on it's neck and cannot shake ii if because J. Henry holds the lead IFS in visc-lil1e grip. The rank and le would just as lief be rid of I. ,enry as have him. The trouble is. le rank and file has as much in uence on Connecticut politics as il .llyfish.

THE UTILITY CATECHISN

The "Ccnnecticut Public Utilities
 Catechisn," book of 4a pages, has
 'he descriptive subtitle, flor use Tn
 secondary schools Of Connecticut" "
 The book was compiled by the Con-
 necticut Committee on Public scrv- f ice Information. Clarence G. Willard, secretary of the committee, also secretary of the Republican state
 central committee. sent us copy
 with the request to examine it and express an opinion. Which was very
 kind Of him,
 Mfr. Willard testified In Washing
 ton that the catechism was dis
 tributed to 76 high schools in Con-
 necticut. a total of lG,16S copies
 having been thus disposed of.
 The book is not a brazen attempt
 to preach pct utility theories: mod
 trn propaganda is too subtle to in- dulge in the obvious It merely en- phasizes the great work done by public utilities, how they are opcr- ated, who contributed to the inven- tons. and a host of other informa- tion designed to make one admire the enterprise and public service of the utilities.
 Question e2 to is as follows: Do communities ever attempt to furnish public service themselves instead of permitting companies to do it?" The occupies a full page in the book and is one of those which came under particular attack in Washing ton. The answer, of course. is a subtle argument against communities operating utilities. Considering that the operation of water plants comes under the catnrgory of operating
 fllltl"s the propaganda in the an- sW"r is at least prejudicial 10 a pro- per appreciation of an important unction of municipal government in New Britain, the operation of it's water plant. "Connecticut cities do lot favor municipal operation" 'eads one sentence. Pupils in secondary schools are supposed to Nallow this from the trough of the ubllc utilities information service.
 MT. Willard wants our opinion. It s this: That the attempt to foist this look into the schools of Connecticut 'aS q doubtful attempt at subtle : 'ropaGanda, and that no school oard anywhere in the state should How the book 10 be used in the of the young.
