BR!NioL'S TALL CHIMNEY

Som" cities boast Of tall buildings and others boast O. tall monuments; some boast of tall hills. and others of tall stop-and-go blinkers; some even boast of tall men and others in- dulG" in tall talk. It remains for Bristol 10 boast of possessing the tallest chimney in the state; or. rather it will boast that way after the chimney in connection with the forge plant of the New Departure Manufacturing company is compIet- cd. Tn" chimney will be 9g5 feet high. This will beat the notable chnnneys in New Britain by con- fortabl" margin.
 Tall chimneys exist, Of course. in order 10 emit smoke ID where it will not do any damage It is one of the. most effective methods known 10 counteract the smoke nuisance. That can be observed very handily in New Britain. where there are many factories but very little complaint about the smoke nuisance. The rail- road, in fact, creaes more of smoke nuisance than all the factories com bined.
 If Bristol is to be congratulated for winning the tall chimney belt of the state We do not intend to stand in line. We intend to head if.

\ CURIOUS SITUATION

The statement of Senator Moses in Chicago. that the "coalitionists' in the Senate have put high duties on the things which industrial com munitics must eat and low duties on the things which industrial workers must make and sell to get money to get the things to eat, is true. But that is exactly what they aim to do. It likewise. in a measure, was the purpose of the administration when farm relief was promised during the last campaign.
 Farm relief in order 10 actually relieve. must mean better prices for what farmers sell, balanced by no higher prices for those manufactur- ed articles they wish to buy. Any other kind cf farm relief would be a travcsty upon the term.
 The coaHuOnists from the pegln- ming had no other purpose than to provide farm relief; they were not interested in the same time increas- ing the tariffs on industrial products. Only the senators from manufactur- ing states had any such idea.
 When President Hoover made his campaign speeches he promised farm relief; he did not scare the western population, and the Hoover rrats in the south, by speechifying on industrial relief And when he was elected he took care 10 mention the faot that he personally didn't care for unnecessary increases in indus trial schedules If Mr. Hoover re- mains the head of the Republican party and the administration-a point not even Senator Mos,, would douut-then the coalitionl7rs are more in harmony with the president tial attitude than the faction in the party represented by Senator Moses.
