No Gain for Prohibition

absolves drinking legislators who

If prohibition were meant only to
raise wind, she's right. If, on the
other hand, it Was meant to stop the

Whatever prohibition may gain

law they have taken oaths to en-

The trouble is, of course, that
whatever oaths they may take, the
authority of officials is more or less
circumscribed by our system of gov
eminent.
If Police Commissioner Whalen
were to undertake the enforcement
of federal laws, he soon would find
himself in hot water.
Bishop Cannon should study the

HARVARD FOUNDED
Sept. Ia

Sept. IA
ON Sept. IA, 1888, the Rev. John
" Harvard, an English noncon-
formist clergyman, the minister OF a
church in Charlestown, Mass, died,
bequeathing his library and half Of
his estate to help found Harvard
college, which later became Harvard
university.
Previously, the general court Of
the Massachusetts bay colony had
voted 400 pounds to educate the
youth in knowledge and goodness"
and organization of a college was
III progress at the time Of Harvard's
death
The clergyman bequeathed 260
books and about 400 pounds to the
college. In recognition Of this gift
which was a magnificent sum in
those days-the new school was
named Harvard college.
The colonial magistrate and many
private persons, emulating Harvard's
generosity. also contributed books
and funds.
The first class, consisting Of nine
students, was graduated in 1912.
The school continued TO expand,
a law school and various other units
being added. The greatest expan-
sion took place during the admins
tration of Charles William Eliot as
president Of the school from 1869
TO 1909.
His term was marked by the large
growth in student enrolment, in the
endowment and in the university
plant which gave it prestige and
influence.

Merit Is Worthless

To the young man VINO hopes for a career
in government, there is a lesson in the change
in the office of internal revenue collector for
this district.
1t will indicate that the path to prefer
ment is not merit, devotion to duty and
efficiency, but activity at the polls, attend
ance upon conventions, political intrigue and
unquestioning loyalty to the bosses.
By family circumstance, the present
collector, George Foote, succeeded to the job.
1t was, at the start, sort Of legacy after
some years of subordinate service in the de-
partment.
What happened was unusual. He took
the Job seriously. Those who have watched
the conduct of his office declare that it has
been conducted in manner that reflected
not only great credit upon Foote but gave to
the government an exceptional grade Of
public service.
There has been no intimation that he
spent his time in political adventures or that
he permitted any partisan considerations to
interfere with the workings of the Office.
The result was that he obtained the re-
spect and admiration of those who had
business with that Office and the people, as
whole, obtained the service for which they
pay and for which the office is operated.
But Foote is to pass. Not even the fact
that he is the son-in-law of the national
committeeman could protect him in what is
considered one of the best bits of political
patronage. The one thing he lacked was
record of rounding up delegates at conven-
tons or voters at the polls. He had not
learned" the job politically although he
earned it by service and by merit.
The change will be something of shock
to those who had hoped that a new day had
dawned and that the political necessities of
United States senators would be of less i'm
portance than the orderly conduct of public
Office
That FoOte is removed and another named
to the job is not important last Of all to
Foote, for private enterprise places value on
the qualities he has shown in Office and re-
CARDS them rather highly. Private enter
prise promotes, and does not discharge, those
who have a regard for their duties and have
the ability to perform them we'll.
The sad part is the effect which such
change must inevitably have on the thou
sands of federal employees who hold minor
positions and might have dreams that devo-
ton to their duties would bring advancement
and preferment.
They will understand that the doors are
locked against them if they follow the
Horatio Alger path to honors and rewards.
They will know that merit is worthless I'M
der such political system.
The thing to do is to make yourself i'm
portant to a senator who finds the going hard
and his future dusky and dim with threats
of disaster.

There is a likelihood that sew

Prosperity Is UnSOund

PREDECESSOR JOHN DEWEY OF
Il Columbia is right in assuming
that liberal thought needs better
medium of expression in this coun-
try. He also is right in character
izing the present era of prosperity
as unsound in certain respects and
as likely to produce an unfavorable
reaction.
We are not only riding a wave,
but have become infatuated
with it.
To a measurable extent, thinking
along progressive lines has ceased.
The country is having far too good
a time with it's flivvers and radio
sets for serious study. The full
stomach has led to an unnecessary
amount OF emptiness in the head.

Editor Time-After reading "All
Quiet on the Western Front" the
daily serial now running in The
Times, I am beginning to believe
there really was a war in 1918. l
was in France fifteen months, but
after viewing the movies shown for
the past two or three years, l was
beginning to believe that army life
was a big picnic in 1918 in which
boy comedians. pretty nurses. and
handsome officers (who excused the
boy comedians or their capers)
played the leading parts.
I never have seen movie where
any one got hurt or suffered any
and I was beginning to believe all
my experiences we're bad dreams,
caused by little too much cognac
and win blanc in Sunny France,
where it rained from October till
MayA
Well, well the truth is leaking out,
if a German soldier is telling it after
ten years. Hooray for the Dutch!
Yours truly, 1918 Buck.

K|WAN|ANS FACING
 ELECTION CONTEST
McKenna and Young Are Ca1-
 didateS for President

An election contest, rare in civic club records in New Britain. will take place Wednesday afternoon when President Hugh r. Mckenna of the Kiwanis club. will be opposed by Ray C. Young for that position.
 Although civic club members say there is precedent for a contest for the presidency, it is an unusual sit uation when members are called up- on to make a choice between two or more candidates.
 Both men saw service during the World War. One was a Commls- in the reserve officers corps. Both are college men, one of them holding two degrees.
 Mir. Mckenna is manager of the Hardware City Lumber Co.,, and Mr. Young is manager of the s. S. kresge store.
 For the first time since the Xii wanis club was organized. J. NJ. Ward, past president, has not been nominated for a position on the board of directors. Mr. Ward was chairman of the nominating commit tee and purpose!y left his name off the list.
 A letter from Secretary William R. Fenn to the membership this week calls attention to the fact that nominations may be made from the foor but that no ballots will be ac- cepted before Wednesday noon.

Mrs. Heller is afflicted with gallstones and high blood pressure

CONNECTICUT LOSES . HIGH TARIFF FIGHT
Enmity Of Senate Coalition Works Against State Industry
By GEORGE II. MANNING Washington Bureau, N. B. Herald)

Washington, D. S., Nov. Il - Whatever hopes Connecticut manu- facturers held for additional tariff aid is believed to have gone glim mering with the regular republicans in the senate running up the white flag.
 Connecticut, as an industrial state, need not concern itself further with the proposed Shoot -Hawley bill for even should 1t pass finally it is cer- tain to be stripped entirely of it's protective features so far as manu- factured products are concerned.
 This was firmly established when Senator Shoot, chairman of the committed on finance, formally mo- tified the democratic- progressive coalition that they were in command of the situation, in case there was any doubt about it at that time.
 The senator from Utah even sug- gested that the senate recess until November 20 to give the coalition an opportunity to substitute bill of it's own making, whose schedules would be voted on the floor of the senate without debate.
 Opposition Rejects Offer
 This proposal was fiatly rejected by the coalition, whose spokesmen, Senators Simmons, Walsh of Mon tana, and Borah, informed the reg ulars in no mistaken terms that they were going to re-write the bill on the floor of the senate in full view of the public and furthermore they were going to do it in the extra session. -
 What is more important than the reasons for refusing Shoots pro- posal is Senator Borah's frank statement that the bill at present is in the hands of the coalition and they alone, to the exclusion of the regulars, are responsible for the measure, and the ruthlessness with which they proceeded, immediately. to tear down everything it took the committee on finance and the senate proper six months to build up.
 Present Rates to Prevail
 The result is that a final passage of the bill by congress before Feb ruary is doubtful. In that case. Con- necticut manufacturers would re- main where they are at present so far as further tariff protection is concerned. If, on the other hand, President Hoover's influence is strong enough to force the house conference to agree to a bill, it is certain that the finished product will be more, if not altogether, on the coalition order. And the indus- trial states, among which Connecti- cut is numbered, will get little, if anything.
 President Hoover has already asked that he be given a tariff bill Of whatever sort lest it be said that his congress is legislatively im- potent and he, unable to fulfill his campaign pledges.
 One of the more optimistic mem- bers of the senate said today that congress will pass a tariff that will approximate the present Fordney- McCumber law in rates on manu-
