ernor Trumbull at least starts with
fanfares of good probabilities. The
governor in his message 10 the Leg
islature will go into further detail
about the needs of the state" and
the Estate of the commonwealth"
and We can well wait few moments
until the governor has chance to
make his views known. The out
look is that the state will possess
sufficient money to construct some
needed buildings. especially those
which have been vehemently dis
cussed at some length. MIR. Hall
and the governor no doubt will also
concur-says these can be provided
on the pay-as-you-go plan; hich is
something We don't think is neces-
sary in view OF how every city and
every indil dual builder does other
wise, but il the state insists, so mote
it be. The main thing is to get the
buildings. regardless Of the
method.
We wish the governor and his ad-
Well And We promise
not to indulge in more criticism
than is absolutely necessary.

TIE GRANGE AND PROHIBITION

Tho State Grange is composed of
dry farmers soil-tllcrs who believe
in prohibition regardless The other
state oranges share this opinion
about the dry law, and all told they
are quite influential with politicians.
The rhiot Development of the past
year, according TO National Master
Taber-W hose words. were euthusi-
as'icalIv quoted in the annual meet
ing OF the ronnecticut Grange-was
that the 18TH Amendment would re-
main intact and that tho saloon will
not return to America
Modifying the dry law has moth
ing TO do with ditching the 18th
Amend ment--dcsirab BILE MS this might
be in the estimation OF a large block
of citizens not connected with the
Grange-nor with bringing back the
saloons. Nobody wants the saloons
back.
Tho Grange might begin debating
the modification issue with greater
acumou and discriminating thought
if the cider situation on the farms
were intorfored with by the prohi-
bition laws.

Providing airports unuucStionabiy
aids aviation. For instance. the
Miami municipal airport was open
ed the other day. and it is announc-
ed it will enable the Curtiss Flying
Service to add it to the landing fields
in its projected nationwide service.
Providing airports costs munich
palities much money. This is con-
tribution to the development Of
aviation that comes from the
pockets Of the people. We are not
saying it is the right way or the
wrong way. but are merely stating
u fact.
New Britain again is confronted
with the need for an airport" The
need has been felt before; and when
the cost was discovered there was re-
luctancc and hesitation. We expect
this to continue for some time. We
not only preach civic economy. but
We practice it so far Us an airport is
concerned. 1t would he different in

Here was a jury which found a

FREEING. THE WOMAN

Clemcncy for Mrs. Eta Mae
who was sentenced 10 life imprison-
mcnt in Michigan for being a fourth
offender against the bone dry liquor
law inflicted on the state by the
more faHatical element in the com
monwealth. is indicated by Governor
Fred W. Green, who evidently is a
man With a heart.
The governor further indicates
that the woman should be left in
prison little while as punishment
tor the heinous offcnse of selling
liquor, which probably is a sane APP
praisal of all the justice that is
needed i'll the case. Say. co days.
The Supreme Court Of the state
held the law constitutional. Which
merely means that the Legislature
duty is to ditch it at the first oppor-
tunity. Not the law against life
sentences for actual tclons, but that
part of it which seeks to send people
10 prison for life for four mis-
d"moanors.
There is still hope for Michigan so
long as it has a governor with the
sense Of Governor Green. The Icgis-
lature can be equally as sensible by
making the needed correction in the
law.
