AFTER EIGHT YEARS

An hem in the papers the other day told how the government at last had been successful in it's effort to give effect to the consent decree ex- acted from the packing interests In 1920. This decree was that the pack CTS were to stay in the packing business and keep their hands off the food industry otherwise. Since 1a.4. however the agreement has been suspended because of techni- calities. Now it is in effect, follow ing final decision by the Supreme Court, which came after the Cali fornia Cooperative Canneries were removed from the controversy. It took eight years to bring a com paratve simple principle to final consummation, and the effect now is as originally intended-thatt the packers restrict their activities to the meat packing business.
 This question was purely eco- homie. and the idea in bsck of the decree vas to prevent the f. rmAtion Of a food trust centerink in Chicago. Meanwhile the farmers want govern ment aid to secure prices that no food trust could hope 10 ,oual

 For the second time within re- cent Atstery the U. g. Senate ID arousea over the publication q the secret I'll call of the voting during the executive session in conhecttoA with tho confirmation of Irvine Len- rot ss Wisconsin to the court of customs appeals.
 Executive session" is another name for . star chamber sesuicn. Whenever the Senate votes on ap. pointments, and deesnt want the public to know how the senators voted, an executive session" is held.
 In this case, as in that of another, the secrecy didn't stay put. Tho ts- cret poll was published in this news- paper yesterday. Of course. some senator who doesn't believe in secrecy is suspected. There is great to do about it-in the Senate-but nothing particular can be done about it. Reporters do not tell the sources of their information.

BINGHAM FOR I4ENROOT

What particularly interested Nut megyers in the confirmation of IT, vine Lenroot. Wisconsin ex-senator, as | judge of the customs court 1t salary of $Ie,000 year for life, was the fact that Senator Bingham voted for confirmation.
 Senator Walcott seems to have evaded the issue by not voting. ac- cording to the report.
 One could scarcely expect Senator Bingham to do otherwise than vote the straight Republican doctrine: thus he joined with 5: other stall warts and helped to confirm MT. Lenroot. The Wisconsin ex-senator had been very active on behalf of Herbert Hoover at Kansas City. His regularity was marked" and he was an able worker for the good cause. For this reason, if for no other, he probably deserved something at the hands of . grateful administration.
 He got it. but there are voices that join in . discordant chorus 6ena- tor Norris is one of these: indeed. he swings the baton when the Lem root Blues is played. Note the way the Nebraska insurgent handles Lenroot:
 "The power trust" he said, "hired Lenro0t to help defeat the resolution of Senator Walsh of Montana for an investigation of the power companies. or at least to prevent the senate making the investigation.
 Did they hire him because he waa lawyer? God bless you. no. Lenroot up to the time he left the senate never practiced in his life. He was not permitted to practice before the supreme court of his own state.
 
 ''The power trust didn't want . lawyer. They wanted him because he was m ex-senator. The people ot Wisconsin retired him to a lame duck. The power trust hired him al &:0,000 fee because they thought that that might influence some United states senators.
 "At Kansas City, Lenroot did valu. able service for MT. Hoover. And now we find him ascending the bench for life at s12,OOO a year. moi because he is lawyer but because he had the favor of the leaders ol hi. party as we'll as the power trust With S2o.000 of power trust money jinyiing in his pockets, he mount, the bench for life.
 II hope the time will come wher presidents do not pay their presiden. tial debts by placing men on the bench for life"

 FfaakliA sauars the Beautifui seems destihed to be turned into | more commercial section of the city's expanding commercial life. Singular as it may seeM, tho hosts of beauty who fought against the intrusion Of a gasoline station won notable vic- tory, only to lese another even more important battle when the city de- cided to iasue A permit-nothing in the law preventing-to MT. Zazsero enabling this keen-witted business man to install lunch cart at Franklin Square and Pearl street. Not only was there . defeat for the hosts of beauty in connection with this development. but the lunch cart, instead of costing tit,ooo. will be worth only $S.o00. For our own part. we had no idea that a lunch cart could be worth even that much.
 Thus the Standard Oil Company takes what it may regard as ade- quate revenge upon its opponents in the gasoline station venture. "Whatll you have, 8 gasoline station or . lunch cart?" in effect was the ulti- mAtuM handed to the embattled art lovers recently. Sundry aldermen and councilmen, wise to the ways of the world, merely regarded thh as camoufiage and heArtless bluff But scarcely was the victory asains' the gasoline station won amid re- jeicinG-in which we took part when the Standard Oil, which owni the plot. announced the alternative disposal of the plot would go into effect. MT. Zazzero stepped forward for his permit without hesitation
 and there we are.
 Getting the best of the Standard Oil Company, we take it. remaini

 New Britain's 1929 spelling champ, Min Teresa Chiarvalloti. seems to have been faced with the usuai hard opposition at the national spelling bee in Washington. This explains why. out of a field of 21 spoilers, she ianded in 18th place, which netted her t.5 in prize money.
 We congratulate Miss Chiaraval- ioti. The city is well satisfied with her spirit and effort.

The experience meant much to this young girl. as such con- tests invariably do to everyone par ticipatinE.

OUR "WARLIKE" HYMN

At fairly recurrent intervals one hears . omplaint-usaally when some well known osiciai breaks into print about it-that certain phrases in our national anthem are 100 "warlike." The words bombs burst ing in air and the rockets red glare" seem to grate upon the ears of some pious souls, who say such sentime nts are entirely out of step with the peacelike tendencies of the age. Sometimes the thing goes to far as to avoid sintink parts Of the national anthem: and occasionally. in patriotic exercises one does not find it used at all, My Country. tis of Thee" being substituted.
 Such doings naturally arouse the indignation of many patriots who do not get excited over the bombs burst ing in air. particularly when it is re- membered that this was happening at the time the words of the anthem were written. Indeed, no other na- tienal anthem written under such circumstances. Perhaps, when Fran cis Scott Key wrote his immortal lyrics he should have maintained . consistent restraint and should never have mentioned what was oc- curing off Fort McHenry in the hlrbor of Baltimore while he was 8 prisoner on a British man O war; but he simply couldn't restrain him. self quite that much; and in one 4tanEA he waxed quite insulting tt the British crown. This stanza. b, the way, is not often sung in ever the most patriotic gatherings. W. have no doubt that in sosne versioa. Of the anthem it is omitted alto. gether, 30 touchy we have become about some matterA.
 The facts are that Francis Scot Key had no idea at the time that ht was penning national anthem When he completed the stanzas hl and his friends looked about for { tune on which to hang them. ant curiously enough, hit upon an old English drinking song-thus accept, ing a tune from the enemy's ranks American composers in those day. were inconsistent, and the only goot tunes came from overseas. Thert were no compunctions at all to ac. ceptiag a tune from the enemy. thi! apparently being one way of turn ing the artistic tables upon tn, gentlemen who were present in ship and on land to ruin the land.
