POLITICS AND PO"Er.

It is curious to note the cynicism that underlines comment following the absorption of the Northern Connecticut Power Co. by the Con- necticut Electric Service Co.,. a sub sidiary of the United Gas Improve ment Co. of Philadelphia. Now. it is being stated with finality that leaves little room for doubt. J. Henry Roraback will swing the next Legislature into frame of mind to permit the hydroelectric develop ment along the Connecticut. This turn-about, it is confidently stated, will be because now Mir. Roraback's own company. the Connecticut Elec- tric Service Co, will be behind the plan, and not the J. c. White in- terests or the Penney interests or any of the other interests which the Legislature in the past, recent and remote, refused to consider as hydro developers.
 In other words. the belief is para mount throughout the state that if there is any power development to be done the Rorabackian companies will do it. and no others. If in doubt. ask the Legislature when it next meets.
 Hostility of the Legislature to the development of power at the site- including the construction of . dam has been consistent. This con- sistency lasted until this year of grace, 1929.
 Now. if anyone has | million dol dollars and can find someone able to wager that amount with him, he can lay his last cent on the proposi- ton that there will be . great hydro- electric power development along the Connecticut, that the LeRislature will have no objections, and that nothing will be permitted to inter- fere with the aims and plans of the company so efficiently guided by the astute MT. Roraback.
 i Mir. Roraback knows how to mix politics with business like no other person in this state. or perhaps in any other state: or in the world.

TUBES FOR AIR MAIL

w. Irving Glover, second assist ant postmaster general. has come by pretty idea in planning to con- struct pneumatic tubes between post offices and air ports.
 Delays in handling mail between air port terminals and post offices are serious. As the assistant p. {. puts it: When the postal service saves five hours in transporting mail by air. it cannot waste 70 minutes in getting it from an air port to a post ofYice.''
 Obviously. pneumatic tubes would be an advantage only in the larger cities, where the air ports usually are far removed from the post offices. II will be some years yet be- fore there is pneumatic tube be- tween Brainard field and the Hart ford post offlce. Or in New Britain
 The pneumatic tube system. whi' h is in use in New York, Boston and Chicago, in which cities it func- tons to transport mail between the general post office and railroad sta- tions is among the post ofice's most e.ncient arms for fast delivery When we send letter to Washing ton, and it does not happen to be mailed at time Of day to catch a through train, it passes through New York via the pneumatic tubes: and when we mail letter to Brook lyn it reaches its destination from

TOO QUICK ON THE TRIGGER

TOO QUICK ON THE TRIGGER
 Again a patrolman doing smug- sling duty on the American Cana dian border called to a motorist to halt, and the latter, failing to obey the command. possibly in the belief the guard was a hold-up man, was shot and killed. The victim, one Henry Nirkula, a merchant at Biz Falls, Minn.. was driving with hia wife and two children, a circum- stance that should have been sum- ciently clear to the guard as indi- eating the family party was not en- gagged in the heinous business of smuggling. But give some guards pistol and ! little authority and tragedy is their steady companion.
 The case. similar to the nota ble tragedy at Niagara Falls, when Jacob Hanson was shot and blinded. ulti- mately succumbing. will receive much attention.

FREDRICKsON OF THE ARMY
 If Colonel Sven Viberg of the eastern district of the Salvation Army knows what is good for his organization in this city he will keep Adjutant Carl Fredrickson where he belonss-in New Britain.
 MT. Fredrickson is 50 popular among all classes of local citizens that placing him elsewhere would be regarded as an ahront.
 Citizens hereabouts are not in- terested in the methods of changing local leaders which may be in vogue in the Salvation Army. All they are interested in il retaining first rate man whom they like. To make . change under such circumstances is folly.

M'DONALD AND HOOVER

The difference between Stanley Baldwin and Ramsay Macdonald is illustrated in no more effective man. ner than the way the two were identified with foreign policy-in- cluding the policy to the United States. Baldwin and has aides had such a definitely imperialistic for eign policy that relations with the United States frequently were re- ferred to as distressinsly unpleas- ant. The Mcdonald plan is to court the most agreeable of relations with Washington. and if necessary to att tain that end Premier Macdonald will make a trip to the American capital and confer with President Hoover. This is certain to be an epochal journey. the rebirth of good fellowship among the two English speaking nations.
 More than 100 years ago the gov- ernments of the United States and Canada agreed upon policy of no Notifications, armies or nayies along the border; and as a result of this far-sighted policy there has been no trouble between the two nations. Premier Macdonald, while in office evidently intends to extend some such agreement between the entire empire and the American govern ment. He has an eye on history.

 DR BRADLE,Y'S COUNSEL Dr Bradley seeks to reply to in- qutrtcx that appears to be repre-. sentative of the trends of thought in the many letters he receives.
 I have been brought up in the usual way, but ] do not like the smell of camphor. The man l have been going with is different than any man l have ever known but he smells of camphor. Do you think this would be . barrier to our hap piness? I never let him kiss me. Are you in 2 position to be sure that he smells of camphor? Or are you letting your fancy run away with you?
 Among right-thinking people the smell is considered 2 good one, and I wonder if you are not being guid- ed by a whim. For this kind of per- son I hold no brief. If you are, as you say. in love with this man. you should be thinking of a home and children and not be bothering your head about the mans aroma. Love is altogether too fine a thing to be jeopardized by . passing odor. Why don't you lay the matter before him in a straight-forw way?
 By all means have a clear un- derstanding with him as to how the children are to be brought up - that is, whether they are to be brought up in the Church, or smell- ing of camphor.
 Of what state is Tallahassee the capital. and do you think l would be wrong in going there?
 Tallahassee is the capital Of Florida. Do your parents know about this? I assume from your let ter that you are going there either to secure a position or because you want to. 4r perhaps it is to visit a relative such as q cousin. Inter- marriage between cousins is thing I disapprove of. but it is a question that must be considered with refer ence to social customs. as we'll as to 1 lineage.
