 Yea, bo,' Though I use "ain't' to get a
 laugh, Though I am wont to explain
 Lets go," Though I say, You don't know
 the half,"-- Black though my record as darkest Give me. I beg. my devils due; Only remember, I've never yet Said. Flows the world been
 treating you?" What could be svectcr?" I fondly
 muse;
 You said mouthful," I confess; Witnesses testify that I use "Oh, have a heart" in times of
 stress; Yes, it's a great life" loudly
 claim,-- "If you don't weaken" I amend i; I'll tell the world" is my middle
 name:
 Well, how's the boy?" I greet q

 mail:
 'I'll say it is" I coyly cry; "What's the good word 2" is my
 chcery hail; Bidding farewell, 1 say Bye

LIFT, AS IS!

During the trial of a hootlcgGer in a neighhoring court, his liquor was introduced as evidence. Experts who had tested it swore that it was genuine, before the war stuff This astonishing fact made a profound impression upon everyone present and may have had something to do with the fact that the jury acquitted the accused.
 At any rate, so we are told by a lawyer who was there, the foreman of the jury called to him just before he left the room, free man. Say" he said, "lAt me have your card I've been trying for years to get a bootlegger who handled real stuff"

The day of the horse is not yet over. While milk drivers still prefer them on account of their automatic method of going to the next stop ping place without the reins being handled. and some short-haul truck ing still done by horses there seems nothing left for horsedom ex- cept to participate in races, to off, ficiate as mounts for saddle en- thusiasts, or to be used on the farms. A horse in town creates con- siderable interest-among klddles who look upon him with the same curiosity and awe they yield to a giraffe in zoo.

A TARIFF LECTURE FROM WALL STREET

when CHlCken eats a worm that isn't news. But when a worm jumps from the ground and bites a chicken that's worth a box on the front page-if it ever happens.
 Consequently if the Wall Street Journal is discovered printing a full some diatribe about the need for higher tariff, a more flexible tariff, or one more in line with the first rate protection, that isn't exactly hot intelligence.
 But when the Wall Street Journal prints an editorial attacking the higher tariff interests, that is worthy of special, mention. Without attempting to be an um- pre of economies in this situation, we print the Wall Street Journal editorial, to wit.
 "It is not often that the Wall Street Journal finds itself in sym- pathy with Senator Wheeler of Mon- tana whose idea of legislation seems to be wherever you see corpora ton head, hit it. When, however, he says, that the industries demand ing ever higher and higher protec- tlon in the tariff must prove their claim by their books, he is on firm ground. One of the evils of protec- tion is that it tends to become substitute for efficiency.
 For reasons Of climate we have never been able to build Up d linen industry in this country to compare with those Of the west of Scotland, Belfast or even Saxony. No industry has received higher protection than the manufacture of woolen goods and yet people of only moderate means wear Scotch tweeds, West of England cloths, Bradford serges, cheviots and the like, because the quality is worth the difference in price, both in wear and in appear- ance The idea of making people i clothes conscious by wearing two suits of inferior quality, at superior prices, in place of one which would i look good 10 the last, has not caught on
 Our cotton goods manufacturers have received higher protection every time the republican party has engineered a tariff advance in ac- Acknowledgement of favors received In spite of the substantial increases of 1922 that industry in New England has scarcely been payings it's way. The alternative seems to have been resort to cheap labor in the south ern cotton mills It seems decidedly un-American eXpedlent and hardly bears out the contention that the protective tariff is good for the worker
 What seems to be needed in the textile industries is not more pro- lection but reorganization with an axe, together with an improvement In quality, both in the product and in the conditions of the worker. other industries have proved that good wages and warkine conditions wonderfully improve the per capita output, both in quantity and quality. Long ago, when other motor car manufacturers without Ford's vision proposed to reduce wages below two dollars a day. Ford raised his minimum to five dollars a day and took the market away from them Protection is perhaps something of a necessary evil but protection as a

the procurement of more leisure time; and even if that were done there is no guarantee that the ir- creased leisure wouldn't be utilized with more automobiling and more chasing after entertainment, instead of greater attendance at meetings of one sort or another.

GETTING FEM OUT TO MEETINGS


 Among other changes that have taken place in our mode of living is a growing disregard to attend meet ings that do not promise more than routine observations. The time when the average citizen had so much spare time at his disposal and no particular way of utilizing it except to attend something or other to which he belonged is past. The trou- ble nowadays is there is not enough time to attend to such matters after the time devoted to new fanged diversions is subtracted.
 Thus it is with considerable sym pathy that one listens to the com- plaint of Mathew Woll of New York, vice president of the American Fed eration of Labor. during his address to the 39th annual meeting of the National Brotherhood of Operative Potters.
 "The devotion and interest the wage earner had for his organiza- ton 25 years ago is no longer gen. The wage-earner is entitled 10 all the present advantages. but he should remember that he gained them through the efforts of organ ized activity. This should make his interest in his organization greater than ever before"
 There is no discussion in this about higher wages and shorter hours. The discussion hinges main- ly upon attendance at union meet ings. These, it is freely admitted, have deteriorated. It is as hard to get some hardy handed sons of toll to attend a union meeting as it is to get some men to attend church,
 It is evident that the competing influences of moving pictures and the mobile-especially the lat ter-haVe brought about this con- dition. As one labor leader once re- luctantly admitted, let the ordinary man get possession of a flivver and he has an instrument that consumes much of his leisure time, and he won't go to any kind of meeting if it interferes with cruising around in the automobile Some observers have termed this species of mania.
 An automobile can get a man to d meeting more conveniently and quicker than ever before. But in stead of using it in this manner he most frequently uses it in taking his family down the pike to some lake, shore or in search of some scenery. In the winter time he is apt 10 favor the movies and such other en- tertainment as modern inventions provide.
 Yet organizations continue to ex- ist and must be attended at least by the officers The only method of solving the difficulty seems to be

150-YEAR OLD SOUTHINGTON

Among the four towns in the state which this year are 150 years of age is Southington. The venerable editor of the Middletown Press, after having thumbed the records and the information disclosed in the state manual, says a few things about the town in Hartford county to the south of us that forms inter- esting reading.
 Turning now to the last of the quadruple born in 1779-Southing ton," the editor remarks. Tt was cut off of Pennington and named Southington because it was the south section of that town. When born, the town had a count of 1886 folks. It could show $40 in 1920, and by the school enumeration is good for 900 today. They make much in Southington-nuts and bolts, wood screws, paper boxes, auto hardware, and a string of oth- CT things. They are canny with their grand list, hiding much wealth, so that the per capita is but s1,0o0. But the debt is big, all told over s420 900. Tax rate 29 mills, with [ mills more for the borough. That looks larger than it really is be- cause of the low listing. The towns greatest title to fame comes from the fact that Marcus H. Holcomt lives in it and he has been it's Lord High Everything, not to forget either, his county and state jobs. Il is so strongly Republican that the Democrats forget to make nomina- tions at times
 That remark that the people in Southington hide much of their wealth is likely to produce a vigor- ous denial. The Middletown paper we suppose, does not circulate ex- tensively in Southington, so that the editor was safe in making the declaration. We pass it on flor what it is worth" and if the good people of Southington wish to raise cain about the statement they have the privilege of blaming it on the Mid dletown paper, not upon us. The claim might even arouse the indig- nation of Marcus H. Holcomb, Lord High Everything in the place; and incidentally create desire to in- vestigate by William H. Blodgett, the keen-eyed state tax commission CT. There is no telling what might result from such a tiny remark if it buzzes into the right ears.
