THE STATE AS A "MODEL"

MT. Rogers has been saying what was said every two years ever since --4he first Republican thought of it that Connecticut is a "moder for other states,
 ,sv He says that officials from other : states frequently make visits to S Hartford and make inquiries regard ing Connecticut's system" at the state capitol.
 .sn It happens that one of the Herald men came upon what a highway off, cial of New Jersey thought of the Connecticut highway system after he had made such trip. (And by the way, he visited all New England states. not solely ConnecticuD. --- This New Jersey official said the Connecticut highway system could not compare with the New Jersey System. And he went into consider able detail
 We don't know if he was right. But we rather think the officials from other states who call upon our own state officials occasionally are doing so through courtesy and like gentlemen, extend the usual compll- mentary remarks.
 @- If our officials, when they make similar calls upon the officials Of z-other states, do not do the same but surround their visits with a boast ful mien, then they lack the char acteristics one might expect cf them.

durlng that time did the elections occur during major business depres- sions.
 These depressions were from 1880 to 1884; the panic of 1898: the panic of 1897; the depression between 1912 and 1914; and the depression of 1921.
 The record of the elections during these Impressions are as follows:
 That in 1882 changed a Republi- can plurality of P in the House to a Democratic plurality of S1. It is us- ualN ascribed to resentment against the newly enacted high tariff and bad business conditions.
 That in 1894 changed a Demo- cratic plurality of 94 in the House to a Republican plurality of 142. The issue was hard times under the Democratic administration of Presi- dent Cleveland. Prices of wheat and cotton were very low; the price of corn was high, but the crop was small. Labor was discontented, and great Pullman strike. But unsound banking and reckless financing play ed a considerable part in the 1895 panic. and the shortage of gold was used in many quarters as need for the greater use of silver as a cur rency basis.
 The depression of 1907 made lit tie difference at the presidential election of 1908, business having been on the road to recovery that year. The Republican party was con- tinued in power.
 The 1914 depression resulted in the reduction of the Democratic plurality in the House from 163 to 3S. But the Democrats gained five seats in the Senate. Crops were good. with high prices for wheat and corn, although the prices for cotton were low and President Wilson supported buy a bale of cotton" movement.
 By the time of the midterm cleo tions of 1922 business was slowly re- covering from the previous years de precision, but the Republican plural ity was reduced in the House from 165 to IS.
 It is logical to conclude, there fore, that the Republican party is due to suffer considerable in the election next month. It is significant that Hoover prosperity" has become a byword, and though Republican spokesmen everywhere are empha- sizing that the depression is world wide" that will have very little effect upon the mentality of voters in doubtful states. They were brought up during recent years to expect nothing but prosperity under Re- publican regime regardless of what was happening in other countries, and the President himself in his campaign addresses took pains to announce we were ahead of every body in our system of government and that we were further advanced than all others in the elimination of poverty.
 It is a sad outlook for the grand oldparty; but 1t is one of it's own making. It's incessant prosperity" preaching and full dinner pair doctrine has come home to plague the party managers.
 Not only is control of the House in jeopardy, but control of the Sen- nate, in the estimation of many ob- servers, is even more in jeopardy, especially when the Insurgents are included with the Democrats, as can he done for practical purposes.

 An army of squatters are en- camping en the fringes of New York preparing for the rigors of winter. While there are many such communities along Pelham Park way and far reaches of Long Island, the biggest squatter village sprawls topsy-turvily near Surf Avenue at Coney Island.

When Mind Works Best

Have you ever tried to determine
at what time of day your mind
works best? A scientific test with
office workers indicates it is the Sec
end hour of the morning. Many
nervous persons find to their dis
may that their brain is most active
when they are trying to go to sleep.
Probably only a few have the ex-
perience of Sir Walter Scott, the
novelist, whose observations On the
subject are republished in the
Golden Book.
"tThe half hour between waking
and rising has all my life proved
propitious to any task which was
exercising my invention Scott
wrote. "When l get over any
knotty difficulty in a story, or have
had to fill up a passage in a poem,
it was always when I first opened
my eyes that the desired ideas
thronged to me-"

Electrical Treatment of
Soil of Little Value

There is Il great difference of
opinion among agricultural sci
entists as TO the value of electricity
in the cultivation of various food
crops. Many English authorities
claim that grain and some garden
produce is quite materially speeded
up so far as growth is concerned
and the quality improved, by a cur
rent of electricity passing between
the ground and a network OF wires
suspended above the growing crops.
A Finland farmer reports an in
crease of 80 per cent in the amount
of produce and grain grown in this
manner. The United States Agri-
cultural department has been ex-
perimenting with the subject for
years and the final conclusion is
that no benefit or at least very little
mas resulted from the electrical
treatment of the soil. In fact it
was noticed that a slightly pro-
longed exposure resulted in kill
ing the seed placed in the ground.
This conclusion is agreed in by some
other authorities so that the pre-
ponderance of opinion is that the
electrical treatment of soil is with
put result.-EXehange
