-aext daxs-AnA thirdly. the new air mall terminal at the eastern end will be Newark instead of Hadley Field, the latter m hours railroad- ing away. Newark h only IS minutes distant.
 When this improved service is under way the air mail will speed across the country at an average of 145 miles an hour. This will be near ly four times the average speed of railroad trains across the continent. Also important will be the fact that the air mail goes as the crow flies. and does not hunt out comfortable valleys or turn around bends or make other digressions from the straight line.
 The Newark airport will be utilized by the air mail within a few days-on October l. Thus a serious problem is solved-that of getting an airport close enough to Manhat- tan to be convenient to the service and the public.

SENATOR BRUCE NOW TALKING

Down in Maryland Senator Bruce is campaigning for Al Smith. Sena- tor Bruce is one of those stalwart Democrats who say things right out in meeting. The other day he quoted a conversation between Senator Borah and Clarence Darrow. saying he had heard Darrow exclaim he Darrow) once had a drink with Hoover.
 Both alleged drinkers denied the soft impeachment. Then Senator Bruce turned his attention to Senator Curtis, declaring he had been seen at the Pimlico race track in the com- pany Of bottle of liquor. Senator Curtis also denied the impeachment, saying he had never. possessed 8 glass or bottle of whiskey in his I life.
 But Senator Bruce won't be stop 1 ped by such minor things as denials. 1 If this is to be red hot campaign
 let's have it hot, is Bruces attitude. | It's rotten campaign indeed if
 senators are going to peach on one
 another. If there is private drinking
 in Washington let it remain private.
 even during a campaign. The sena- ] tors and congressman who vote dry and drink wet ought to be left alone,
 whoever they are. What business is
 it of Senator Bruce's, anyway. as to what fellow senators drink. Any
 more than if is any other senator's business what Senator Bruce drinks.

The cass opened yesterday in the court of Circuit Judge Alfred J. Murphy, ua- tionally known criminologist.
 William Cohen, representing the defendant, in his opening statement declared Kutslub killed his wife Amelia, while suffering from "sotn- nolentfa" and somnambuliem.
 Soma mbuiism was defined by the attorney as "a state of sleep tn which some of the senses and votun- tary powers are partly awake" and "somnolentia" as the Tapping over of profound sleep in the domain of apparent wakefulness."

kOPPLEMANN THE CANDIDATE


 The three-cornered contest for the nomination to Congress from the first district resulted in victory for Herman F. kopplemann of Hart- ford, who had first class support In his native city and elsewhere and who enters his campaign against E. Hart Fenn, perennial Republican congressman, with commendable surplus of energy. This being 8 rather peculiar year politically. Kopplemann can be pardoned for his flare of optimism. Queer things sometimes happen in politics. and Kopplemann is willing to furnish the best show in the district if enough Democrats furnish the votes.
 Meet me in Washington after the election and we'll all go over and visit Al Smith in the White House. '' he in substance told the admiring delegates to the Hartford district convention.
 Thomas J. spellacy. guiding the Democratic ocean liner in Connecti- cut, gave the brethren as much in- side information as they needed. The real political complexion in Con- necticut, he said, is according to the vote of 1922, when Fenn only won over Dutton by around 5000 votes. In that year Dutton carried Hartford by nearly 5000 votes. For kopple- mann to win on this basis would re- quire change of only more than 1,5oO voters, Spellacy indicated, al- though he did not quote the figures in detail. He did say. however, that there were 10000 Democratic wom- on in Connecticut who formerly did not vote. And that, if fact, is go- ing some, if not somewhere. 1 kopplemann started his cam paigning with 8 little speech that indicates he knows OH which side oi the toast the butter belongs. He ii for protective tariff, just like al the Democrats are this year. Never having won many elections on an! other kind of tariff this change might as we'll be made, say the mos astute party workers. It might b, emphasized that Senator David Walsh Of Massac chusetts, the un beatable, has browscd along on | protective tariff principle for years regardless of what the nationa Democratic principle might be. Thi is tip for many another Demo cratic candidate.
 From the day he is electe' kopplemann promises to work for high grade post office in Hartford not q picayune building on som side street. Which are golden word in Hartford. By the way, what ha Fenn been doing about that pos office, anyway? The cipher hash | rs
 The New Britain delegation stoo by Jesse Moore of Pennington bu got no more satisfaction than ha> ing engaged in lively battl' Democracys hope ill the first dis trict remains Al and then all til other kites to the tail, not the re verse. That's why it's a differel year.

efficient food administrator had he not favored such action. He never spoke against it, and this is held against him by many farmers who assert had he done 50 they would have known and recognized their friend in governmental circles. But he didn't oppose it because that would have been the wrong thing to do.
 Now in 8 political campaign this war measure is brought up against him and do doubt will lose him many votes, if not some farm states. He can lose them with good con- science. His actions in the conser- vation of food during the war and whatever influence he brought to bear upon the regulation of food prices were done because of the necessity of those historic years. Tc have permitted grain prices to run wild during such an emergency would have been like stabbing the associated nations in the back.
 But-yes, there is serious but in the analysis-if it was the cor rect thing durng the war to con trol the price of grain why wasn' it equally correct to control thu price of manufactured articles tha were equally necessary? Why, i can be asked. should the farmer have been asked to bear the brun of government price fixing whil industrialists were allowed to casl in heavily? At that time the stocl of Colts arms, for instance. wen from around 80 to almost s1 ,0oV pc share. Industry in general took al enormous upturn during the wal and there was no government to tel it where to head in. Instead, every thing was allowed to be done on tn cost plus system, with no particula limit to the cost or the plus.
