FAULTY LEADERSHIP

Senator Bingham has received blame that should be shared by J. Henry Roraback. If Connecticut "suffers" as a result of the senator's tariff bungling, let it be determined whether Senator Bingham or MT. Roraback is to blame. The blame, in our opinion, is about equal
 Mr. Bingham says he needed aid in determining the amount of pro- lection Connecticut industries re- euired, while MT. Roraback at least scceded to the plan to loan Mr. Eyanson from the manufacturers as- sociation. One feels inclined to con- cede that the Waterbury Republican is correct in its estimation that Sen etor Bingham is straw senator representing Mir. Roraback, that the latter should be blamed for the tariff fiasco affecting Connecticut uUSllltS, anu blIdl lIt liIlit lldo come for Republicans to wrest con- trol of the state from the hands of the state boss. AS the Republican puts it:
 Sen. Bingham was never weighed in consideration for the post Of sena- tor from this great industrial state. He was forced upon Connecticut by the state boss J. Henry chose Bing- ham on one basis only; namely, that he could be depended upon at all times to respond tractaply to any pulling of the political strings that the state ruler saw fit 10 exercise. In the control of Connecticut J. Henry always gathers around him auto- matons whose arms, legs. heads whose whole anatomies-will move only as the controlling political colossus sees fit to pull them.
 This one-man control now has Connecticut tossing over rocks that will wreck it unless it rids itself of the boss and returns to a regime in

THE FOOLHARDY STOWAWAY
 NEEDS NO ATTENTION

Being a stowaway on an airplane has it's disadvantages. Arthur Schreiber is finding that out. The disadvantages are intensified when coupled with too much pride in the accomplishment and the desire to cash-in on the exploit. A friend has already come forward with the claim that if Schreiber makes contracts for public appearances when he returna to this country he is entitled to half the proceeds as the author Of the idea of stowawaying. If this thing keeps up stowaway schreiber may even find himself confronted with a lawsuit.
 It appears that the French see nothing praiseworthy in Schreiber's performance. There can be little doubt that they are right. Schreiber on board the Yellow Bird was a menace to the lives of the three French aviators. and it was only matter of supreme good luck that they reached the coast of Spain be- fore being forced to descend. Schreiber's weight had considerable to do with that. Had he not been aboard the aviators in all probability could have reached Paris without the preliminary descent.
 Only an abounding lack of res- possibility and plenteous supply of desperate foolishness could have in. duced the stowaway to do his deed. If the American public. on his return to this country, takes the view that he is species of hero and is worthy of attention it will be an exemplifi- cation of foolhardiness quite the equal of the stowaway's original in. fraction of sanity.

USING THE HOSPITALS AS EASY MARKS

When an automobile accident oc- CUTS and somebody is taken to hos
 pital. 1t comes under the heading of an emergency case. No hospital un- der such circumstances. of course. could refuse admission and none do so. Public opinion would be devas- tating in its effect if such pro- cedure were attempted on the score that those entering the hospitals first must show a willingness to pay for treatment.
 But according to statistics pre- sented to "a convention of hospital officials it was shown that more than half the emergency automobile ac- cident cases throughout the country turn out to be of no financial bene- fit to the hospitals: indeed. the re- ports had it, 56 per cent of the cases come under the heading of charity. and American hospitals are estimat- ed to be contributing more than &C., 000,00O in services to indigent auto mobilists who never pay,
 The reason, according to the re- port, is that there is no way of col lecting from irresponsible autoists who may be injured, who lack finan- cial resources, and who lack accident insurance. The cost of such free service is steadily mounting" in proportion to the increasing acci- dents, it was announced. and would somebody kindly bring forward solution of the difficulty

BETTER TO NUI4LIF'Y THE LAW
 THAN MURDER INNOCENTs

Appealing to the public to assist the government in combating the activities of international rumrun- ners may be one way of helping precarious situation to right itself. but it cannot be said to solve the difficulty. Where there are high profits in bringing liquor into a pro- hibition country from country across an imaginary boundary line it is useless to suppose that profit eager adventurers will fail to take the risk. President Hoover's most recent ap- peal asked the public to assist in this effort to stem the activities of 'in- ternational criminals and the ap- peal may fall on some willing ears. Most citizens. especially on the border. are not inclined to be mixed in such brawls.
 The appeal. however, does not ap- ply to the main problem that has been agitating the public mind. the problem of the dangers to which in- nocent citizens are put by the war on liquor Citizens have right to motor along the highways in safety; they have a right to be unmolested by prohibition agents with guns and the tendency to use them upon the slightest provocation or no provoca- ton at all. Some of them have been sent into eternity when held up by these overzealous minions of the law. Indignant declarations by sur- viving citizens have put the govern ment on the defensive. and no amount of appealing for law en- forcement assistance solves the diff ficulty of protecting the lives of in nocent citizens.
 It is better that the war against rum runners along the border be abandoned altogether than that the lives of innocent citizens and their families be placed in constant jeopardy It is better to nullfy law to this extent than to run the risk of shooting citizens who are not identified with those who make a business of rum running.

 The Common Council should lose no time in looking into the dog sit- uation.
