I rather think that DR.. Holmes
means to say that all but ten of the

ought to add that in his opinion
ribaldry has no place in the theater.
At that point discussion could be-

ers' products, which would hold up
the price and he would be benefited
more by paying better wages.
I am for the farmer, and want to
see him get a good price for his
products as we'll as his land, but the
farmer should wake up and join
hands with the working man Of the
city, for he is the consumer Of the
farm products, and when his wages
are lowered and he is thrown out Of
work, it reflects on the farmer, with
a reduction of price on all his prod
ucts and lowers the value Of his
land.
Give the working man Of the city
plenty Of work and good wages, and
watch the price of farm products
rise and the value Of farm land go
to a higher level.
I, for one, believe that If the
farmer will go hand in hand with
the working man of the city, he will
find the much talked of farm relief.
So think it over, Mr.. Farmer.

FIRST STREET RAILWAY
November rs


ON Nov. IS, 1882, the first street
" railway in America opened in
New York City.
The road was known as the New
York 81 Harlem railroad on which
a horse car, much like an old Eng
lish stage coach, ran from Prince
street on the BoWery to Yorkville
and Harlem. .
The first railway followed for
some distance the route now occu-
pied by the Fourth Avenue railway,
which still operates under the orig
inal charter granted in 1881.
It was operated as a horse car line
until 1887, when it was temporarily
changed to a steam car line. Eight
years later the operation Of horse
cars was resumd and it remained
the only horse car line in New York
until 1852.
In 1856 a street railway was first,
built in Boston, and Philadelphia
had its first line a year later. Today
virtually all street railways are OBJ
ezaked by electricity.

If we are going back to state
j rights, the place to begin is Vol
steadism, not racketeering.
A word for the restoration of To-
cal sovereignty from the Wicker
sham commission would have been
welcome at this time.
Such word from the President
While the public waits to hear from
the Wickersham commission, espe-
cially with regard to the subject of
racketeering, causes wonderment.
Mr.. Hoover has chosen a most I'M
happy theme for his philosophizing.
If the American people ever faced
situation which called for the I'M
usual exercise of federal power, it is
to be found in the unIloly alliance
OF organized thuggery and corrupt
politics, with which so many of our
great cities and sovereign states
find it hard to cope.
If there ever was time when
federal interference would be ex-
cused, it is now.

Blind on One Side

MO doubt similar thought
L = helped President Hoover to
form the conclusion that the fed
eral government would better not
take too big a hand in the racket
eering drive.
One could accept his idea on this
problem with more enthusiasm, were
it not for what the federal govern
ment has done and still is doing in
a futile attempt to enforce prohi-
bition.
Ohtrusive use of the narcotics
squad, or internal revenue agents,
for the purpose of running down
racketeers, might, as the President
seems to think, constitute "a reflec-
ton on the sovereignty and stamina
OF state governments"
But what about that army of dry
SleuthS which has been poking its
nose into eVerybody'S cellar for the
last ten years?
If the Hoover administration has
come to the conclusion that local
self-government would be benefited
by less federal interference, why not
go to the obvious source of the
trouble?
Why vince at the task of help
ing to rid the country of billion
dollar crime organization when so
much zeal has been displayed over
the plnt-pccket peddler?

STAMP SALES PAY
 ZEPPELIN EXPENSE
PhiIateIists Awaiting Mail Being
 Brought on Airshjp

Stamp collectors are virtually
 financing the Graf Zeppelin in lis present Europe Pan American are among those who are eagerly awaiting the arrival of the huge diriglble at Lakehurst and the con- sequent return of letters and cards which they posted for transmission upon it.
 The Graf is carrying a graat quantity Of mail, some over tho whole distance from Fredrichshaf- on 10 Lakehurst and some over only portions Of the full route. The Unlt- ed States government issued three special stamps, Of 65 cents, Sl.30, and $2.G0 denominations, for use on mail originating within this coun- try and carried by the Graf. While these were not on sale at the local post office, considerable number Of them were obtained by New Brit ain philateiists from the Hartford post office through the courtesy of Postmaster H. F. Erwin of this city, and it is probable that several hun dred letters from the HardWar City were posted for carrying on the German airship.
 Germany also issued special stamps valued at ? and 4 mark, respectively, in connection with the flight and Spain and Brazil, in which countries the Graf stopped, also promised either special ad- hesives or special postmarks. There are New York. Friedrichshafen Se- vile, Pernambuco, and Rio Janeiro cancellations 10 be collected and probably backstampirgs from sev- eral of these cities and from Lake hurst. Various local collectors have worked out various combinations to get all of these markin4S and have sent several letters apiece in ordsr to have full collections. As the rates or these letters range from 50 cents to s390, the government and the packers Of the flight are netting a | neat sum from philatelists Of th!s | city alone, and a very large one | when collectors throughout the | world are considered.
