TR0LLEYMEN VOTE
 AGAINST STRIKE
Connecticut Co. Employes Reject
 Proposal, 995 to 595

New Britain trolley men and of- hclals of the company are elated over the decision of the trolley men of the state not 10 go on strike. Supt. William J. Bryan was inform ed by the Herald late yesterday aft ernoon that the vote had been counted, showing a majority in favor of remaining at work. He expressed pleasure and remarked that the de- cision was in line with his expecta- tions
 Employes in this city were pleas ed at the outcome. The majority of employes who discussed the propos- ed strike during the past few days were in opposition to the walk out. Many offhem had told Supt. Bryan that they would remain at their posts even if call to strike were issued by union officials. It was gen. orally agreed here that a strike would sound the death knell of the union in Connec''cut.
 The Connecticut joint conference board, representing the trolleymen, accepted the wage proposition of the Connecticut company late yesterday afternoon, when an official count of the state vote. taken Wednesday, revealed that the men were opposed to a strike by 995 to og5.

More Cities See Light
lCincinnati Ellouirer.l

Each year an increasing nunbes of cities and towns to the realization, which ordi- narily is forced upon them by bitter experience, of the impractcability of municipal ownership and operation Of power and light utilities The Ohio Committee Public Utility Information reports that last year 1SS cities and towns in 35 States sold their light and power plants to pr- vate operating companies and retired definitely from this hazardous civic business.
 The movement toward the greater dependa- bility and in virtually all cases, lower rates of private y-owned utilities is well marked in Ohio. Ill 1927 seven communities disposed of their light plants which makes a total of Fl to take this wise step during the last five years, and the large number of 132 altogether. These plants absorbed by private enterprise into more economically operated inter-eonnected systems
 The electrical industry, developed by pri- yate capital and spurred on by competition, has made tremendous progress in the manufacture and distribution of electricity. Long distance transmission of power and frequent installation of latest types of machinery have aided greatly in the development of private utility enterprise. Although labor and other costs have advanced, the electrical industry held down the price of service to the consumer This has been pos 5ibe because of sound management modern machinery and efficient distribution.
 Meanwhile. the history in most cases of municpally owned and operated power plants has been quite the reverse. They have not kept abreast of modern developments, Machinery, once installed, usually is allowed to whirl along it's old-fashioned way until it flies apart. Business affairs are managed haphazardly, and the acc quistiyeness of politicians is not always cold to such ready temptation. Consumers often are asked to pay for service and then taxed fin order that ii may be continued. There is little wonder that municipalities throughout the country are choosing the less costly and more satisfactory system of private light and power supply.

< DRY VIEWPOINT.

The Rev Russell M Brougher, a prominent Baptist devine, preaching on Prohibition to a New York congregation, declared that he Was doubtful whether or not America ever De put a bone-dry basis. Yet, in the same sar mon, he demanded that any public official who said the law could not be enforced be put out to office and who of it's enforce ment be put in. In other words he would give the offices to fools liars. The offices for osriches' Haywood Broun puts it.
 The Rev Mir. Brougher then prescribed for the Government remedies for the present situation. He urged that offenses against Prohibition be placed on with eounterfeiting and be made felones, and he demanded that Congress provide for the of !the arnfy and navy 'to the fullest extent" in Prohibition enforcement
 In other words the reverend gentleman seems to believe that the paramount work for which the Government of the United States is organized is the enforcement of Prohibition and while he does not believe that it be done. he would have it expend all its strength in trying to do the impossible thing

UNSOLICITED ADVICE.

The Seattle Post-Intelligencer says that Frank Edwards, Mayor Elect of Seattle, is about to branch out into State and County politics. Ii de clares that he will ally himself with Gov. Hart ley in the State and that h.s organization will seek to control King County
 MT. Edwards has not asked our advice, and probably he won't do However. we suggest that he should stay the job he has got. He can keep busy with his work al the head Of Seattles bipartisan municipal government and he will find it profitable to the city and to his own career if he is ambitious, to devote all of his time to it rather than to attempt to run the politics of the State.

 It's all right for a husband to win an argument if he doesn't mind long lectures, short answers and black looks for a week or two.

 A brass wedding ring that stays on is better than platinum one that comes off as easily as a complexion caught in the rain.

FORESTS AND RUN.oFF OF WATER.

As shedding light the current discussion of forests a factor in flood control, the Forest Service, United States Department of Agriculture points to recent observations by Swiss scientists during violent rainstorm two small water sheds in the Canton of Berne. Switzerland.
 The two watersheds are similar in altitude, exposure slope, and character of soil but one of them is entirely wooded, while the other is only 35 per cent wooded. Practically the same amount of rainfall fell on each during the storm The maximum flow of water from the partly forested watershed was 154 cubic feet second for each 100 acres and the crest occurred half an hour after the beginning of the rain On the completely forested watershed the maximum flow did not occur until five hours after the storm began The total run-o1 per square mile for 13 hours after the storm began was 702OOO cubic feet on the partly forested slope and 432 900 cubic feet on the completely forested area. By comparison with the normal flow of water it was found that on the partly forested watershed 2l per cent of the storm water ran off, while on the completely forested area only 10 per cent off.
 In Switzerland the Government has long real ized the necessity of forests to protect the steep slopes of the country's numerous mountains from soil washing and erosion and to regulate the flow of streams. and protection forests are a definite part of the Swiss forestry program

MOTOR BOATS ARE IN DEMAND.

That public interest in boating is mounting rapidly is indicated by recently published re- port of the United States Department of Com merce giTing the total number of registered motor boat h inc c3untry at the close of 1927 as 22o i55
 This represents increase of 12.41S. over 1926 and 2iSis over 1925 Since 19i9 the first year on which figures are given, the report shows an increase of 12s.67e boats
 Commenting on this report of the Depart ment of Commerce, Jay ". Smith, president Of one of the leading motor boat building com panies of the United States, recently said that all indications point to an exceedingly active year specially in the manufacture of pleasure craft He continued:

A Nice Distinction.
(New York Times. )

iNeW 1OrK 1ImeS.)
 Germans have long been famous for their metaphysical ability and they appear to be just the ones to attempt in their Penal Code to distinguish between the tip and the "brbe." !" It seems good deal like trying to divide hair 'twixt north and northwest side, but the thing has been done, it is reported from Berlin.
 Everything turns the state of mind of both giver and recipient If the gift is merely inspired by kindness, and is accepted a token of good fellowship, 1t is innocent. It becomes bribery only when both parties to the transaction are aware that it is intended to sway an official in the performance of his duty.
 It is a pity that this subtle discrimination was not available at Washington when there was inquiry about the $100,O00 in cash delivered to Secretary Fall, and the still larger amount or bonds turned over to him later. What clearer proof could there be of the giver's kind heart, or of the recipients full appreciation that his friends were uncommonly good fellows? At the next trial of Fall and Sinclair it may be that this new Penal Code of Germany will be intro duced as evidence.

boating. Within ten years it is our pre- dfetion that there will be in the United States at least two million individually owned and operated motor boats. Port land. Maine, already has 12,233 boats or approximately one to every six in population. On that basis the sea board cities on the Atlantic and Pacific, to- gether with cities on the Great Lakes and the Mississippi, Missouri and Ohio Rivers, could easily bring this total to several times the two million figure pre- dieted above.

Herring for Meal and Oil.
(Prince Rupert News.

Herring dried or smoked and shipped to the orient are worth very little but treated at the reduction plant and sent out as fish meal and oil 1t is a very valuable product.
 The first thing, of course, is to preserve the bait supply for the halibut fishermen but next to that comes the demand of the local re- auction plant to be allowed to use any not need ed for that purpose
 The Bushby plant at Tucks Inlet is worth a great deal to Prince Rupert Mr. Bushby has been experimenting with dog fish and plans to continue that work If he can..work up that in- dustry he will more than enough fish to make up for the herring he uses It is to be hoped that every possible en- couragement will be given thes industry here

I believe too many writer's of pirate tales adhere too
slavishly to the pattern laid down BY Stevenson. There
arc too many one-leggcd pirates, too many one-eycd
