 GAME WITH CUBS

WRIGLEY FIELD, Chicago, Oct. 10, P)-With the big bats of Al Simmons and Jimmy Fox beating a tattoo against the far thermost fences of the field, the Athletics again crushed the Cubs this time with a score of nine to three, in their second straight victory, yesterday.
 The Athletics early assumed the lead and in the seventh increased the margin at the. expense of Carlson, when Fox scored on d sacrifice by Miller. Dykes hit to left field and brought two more runs in. In the eighth with two out Cochrsne walked and Al Simmons, one of the boys with the big bat, hit out a homer. and Fox followed with a. double, but it was wasted as Grove, the next batter up, struck out. The Cubs revenged themselves for their thir- teen strikeouts the day before, by making thirteen strike-outs on the Athletics yesterday, Earnshaw striking out seven times and Grove six.
 The short score was Athletics, nine runs, twelve hits, and no er- TOTS; Cubs, three runs, eleven hits and one error. The batter ies were Athletics, Earnshaw and Grove and Cochrane; Cubs, Nal one. Bake Carlson, Nehf and Fay Tor.
 Editors Note-Owing to mis- take in our telegraph service, the Pittsburgh team was confused with the Philadelphia Athletics; the two teams playing for the world 8 championship are the Chicago Cubs of the National League. and the Phila delphia Athletics, of the American League.

PANTAGES TRIAL BECOMING
 COMPLICATED

LOS ANGELES. Oct. 9. (P)- Intimation that the defense in the Pantages trial had discovered a mystery woman of the case, spread in the trial as they sought to break down the corroborative testimony of Frederick Wise, state witness. During the attack on Wise's mentality, in which it was shown that he had once been a patient in psychopathic ward, Ghe defense inquired Did you see this woman (meaning the myster- ious lady brought into the case by Gordon)." Wise answered "Yes, she was perhaps 22 or 25 years old, about five feet five in ches tall, had dark curly hair, and wore no hat" He said she reached out and touched Miss Pringle during the time she was trying to get out of Pantages' office. Wise stuck to his story corroborating Gordon's testimony. The defense introduced the hos pital records showing that Wise had been confined to the mental ward with observations. It stat ed, He is mentally sick, border ing insanity, but not dangerous" "
 Louis Fisher, sixteen year old copy-boy for Los Angeles paper testified about the same as Cor don and Wise, and identified Pan tages as the man he saw in the little room fixing his clothing, af- ter he had heard the girl scream and accompanied Wise to the alleged scene.

ON MAKING A NEWSPAPERS

Gettlng out good newspaper IS fascinating task, but it is all so difficult one. No other iob that comes to mind is quite 30
 taxing. So hurried or demands greater pains. From the moment newspaper is started, be it eith- CT daily or weekly, the work i- carried on under pressure. race against time. Put yourself in an editors position-could you do it.
 Could you, for example. spell correctly, offhand. the names Of large percentage of the residents Of this town. If you could do that, could you write thei vi
 tials correctly without re rg to the telephone directory or O Her authority. Could you write down offhand, the names of your city officials, your school board. your cocnty officials, your leading state and national officials, getting all the names. initials and offices cor rect. Could you gather the threads of story from dozen people and weave them into an interests ing, intelligent account the first time. Could you write seven col umns of material of 1900 to 1,4cG words each in two or three days. week after week, year after year. and when you had finished those seven pound out two or three columns more before press time.
 In writing a headline, could you call to mind in a moment enough synonyms so that you would not repeat the main thought in the same words. Could you judge in minimum of time what size
 headlines. and what position in the paper, should be given to each of the 75,1OO Or more stories that might go into your paper. | Could you decide in moment or exercise "snap" judgment, on 
 the dozens of questions a news paper man must face daily and get majority of them correct. We won't tire you-but if you could do these few simple things and a thousand and one difficult ones. you should be a newspaper editor.
 The point we wish to make is that one can produce good newspaper only after continual diligent study and years of prac tical experience. You have heard dozens of persons remark that they could turn out a newspaper. and a good one too. bit better in fact, than the one they are getting. That Is, not true, unless they have gone through the years and study that good newspaper demands of it's makers.
 Were it not the peculiar fascina- tion associated with newspaper work, there is no greater task master and money alone would be far too scantv tion.-

EDITORIAL
ALASKA CENSUS

The census enumeration of the town of Nome is now under way The census enumerator Mir. Ga ff- Iey in an interview states tha. there is cordial interest and sup. port given him by the citizens in general. This is cherry news as it is to the interest of all of us to see that every one is enrolled. The Nugget believes from care full observation that there are as many and possibly more people here than in 1920. In com runity like ours where so many men are at this time of the year. in the hills, or engaged in pre- pairing for the winter, it is possi- ble the enumerator may miss some; hence the necessity for cor dial cooperation. It is also to be hoped that the enumerat tors in other sections of the division will be able to enroll the full comple- ment of the population in their respective localities.
 The Federal Government has shown its interest in the matter by granting the dispensation of commencing the enrolment mon ths earlier than in the states ap- parently believing that the many citizens who spend their winters in the states, either on business or pleasure, are entitled to having. their names registered in Alas ka, thus doing away with register Ing outside or being missed by enumerators in the states.

EXAMPLE OF CULT BURIAL

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 8. P- No evidence other than that of a natural death, was found in the autopsy performed over the body of Villa Rhoades, nine teen year old foster daughter of MT. and Mrs. w. P. Rhoades. which was dug from her grave beneath the home of the parents. Villa was designated by her mother as The Princess of the Divine Order of the Royal Arm of the Great Seal,' and was expected to be resurrected in accordance with the belief of the strange religious cult to which Mir. Rhoades belonged. The body was submitted to the county chemist in order that tests could be made to ascertain wheth- CT any poison had been used.
 Roades is held, pending further investigation. He told the police that Villa died January 1st. 1925 from diptheria. With the finding of the body. many wierd rites of the cult came to light, such as preserving the body in ice for more than a year. in the belief that she would be resurrected.
 In a separate casket in the girls grave, were found the bodies of seven dogs. who had been embalm- ed with spices and buried at the same time.

SCHOOLS AND POLITICS

IL has been evident for sonle time that there is a tendency in the city to make political capital out of the costs of the schools"
 If that is to be species of po- litical issue then it will be just one more political mistake. There is no guarantee at all that the folks who refer to the high cost Of schooling will naturally vote the Democratic ticket at the next campaign. The children Of Democrats as we'll as Re. publicans attend the improved schools: and plenty of Democrats, 10 our personal knowledge. look upon the schools with pride.
 For years there was agitation in the city that the school.system was out-of-date. Some Of the buildings were considered unfit for human use, and this by unanimous consent Of all those whose children attended them and those who had occasion to visit them occasionally. or even glimpse them from the outside. Seat ing capacity was insufficient. Port able schools were common. It was an aIl-round unsatisfactory condition. and nothing was more popular than to speak of and advocate modern school system.
 Now We have some modern school buildings. they have cost money. and the must be paid for. It seems mighty poor sportsmanship to howl over the costs of something that everyone once agreed was necessary
 The public school system is the pride of Americans. New Britain surely is not disposed to consider it in any other light Attacks upon the costs of this necessary part of Amer ican education will be resented by most voters.
 The cost of maintaining the schools, which includes the salaries of teachers. also obtain criticism. The salaries are fixed. and the Board of Education surely cannot be charged with paying more than it has 10 pay for the type of teachers good enough to guide and mould the young.
 The school system should be kept ont of politics altogether. Politicians who insist on bearing down on the school administration are due to cx- pePience that kind of rcpercussion that divcsts them of the loavcs and fishes of political success.

Jlit, PERSONAL, TAX

Minority Leader John r. Tobin of Waterbury made a gallant fight for s bill which would have exempted .idoas and married women from
 yirg personal taxes Many repre- ,-iiatites agreed that the bill, which .ad been introduced by Representa- tive Noonon of Bridgeport, was one Of the most meritorious presented before the present Legislature.
 The Judiciary committee, making an unfavorable report, could not still argument in the Legislature, where the minority leader tried to gain passage despite the judiciary report. In vain did he point out that wid- Ows have enough financial worries without paying the picayune poll tax of e yearly; and that married wom- cn sh ould be exempt because their husbands pay g.
 We agree that 1t was a meritorious bill. But once the tax machinery gets . grip upon tf" pockets Of eiti- zens it rarely lets 70.

"MADE IN CONNECTICUT"

The Made in New England campaign has now been more local izcd. We now also have a by-product. a Made in Connecticut" campaign.
 Which is a good idea. Connecticut citizens are justified in preferring goods made in Connecticut.
 The Nutmeg state manufactures for the entire nation. however. The state itself could not consume more than a small part of the goods made within its borders.
 Consequently if too much stress is laid upon this species of campaign by the state Chamber of Commerce and other booster organizations and it is noted in other parts of the country perhaps other states also will provide themselves with similar slogans.
 If citizens in New York, for in- stance. are induced to hearken to a Made in New York" campaign it would injure Connecticut, as the En- pire state is a very good market for Connecticut goods.
 Our suggestion is to so | bit easy on such campaigns. Gum shoes rather than megaphones, are neces- sary.

so MOTE IT BE

City Hall this year made a valiant effort to hold down the tax rate. Study given the budget approached the scientific. Except for a few ri- bald and inconsequentiaI remarks made. the city fathers met their re- sponsibility with liberal minds.
 No one cares to see the tax rate advance. but these are times when financial problems loom large. If the city were standing still there would be fewer knotty points to contend with; but then. who cares for that alternative.
 It is useless to find fault with City Hall for an increase in the mill rate The whiting, in all conscience. has been energetic. Here and there a lit- tie might have been clipped from the budget as prepared by the finance board. but nothing substantial.
 After all, more citizens are inter csted in progress than in parsimony.

LIGHT ON THE PCRlrANs

Those who think Macauiay was . little sour when he wrote up the Puritans might take relief in the more modern conception of their characteristics. It Is now being said that the Puritans were not as op- posed to all pleasures as they have been given credit: that they had . little fun now and then, and that they even gave bit of leeway to ideas regarding compa anionate mar riage. Indeed. go 1t is claimed, the practice was so common in the Massa chusetts colony that steps had to be taken by the leaders to stop the practice.
 Which yields the conclusion that this companionate marriage business Is not so new. after all. The man who first said there is nothing new under the sun might have been mis- taken in some respects. but in con- nection with human nature he was not far wrong. One need only to read the amusing stories of the 'bundling" practice that was part Of the custom in early New Engla nd to conclude that the Puritans had q few ideas that would not be coun- tenanced in modern society.
 Independent, courageous and with convictions no other men or set of men could change, the New Ens. land Puritans left an indclible i'm. precision upon American society Their descendants have dropped some Of their bad points. judging by the rather gay tendencies of the times. but they can do no better than retain their undeniable good points.

A NEW UTILITY GIANT

It seenls remarkable that the Con necticut Electric Securities com pany. incorporated in Hartford Monday under the benign influence or J. Hen ry Roraback, started with capital of $3V0. 900. and day later increas- ed the capital stock to $l.300.000. Thus a cool million was added in one day. Why didn't the concern get incorporated with the large amount in the first place? We do not suppose suspicious would have been aroused. but the true strength of the giant concern would have been more evident.
 "Whether the new holding com- pany will be affiliated directly or in- directly with the T., c. I. (Philadel- phia) companies is a matter of con lecture at the present time.' one re- porter wrote.
 This being free country, we "conject' that it is.
