'OHIO REPUBLICANS
 FACE DRY DEBATE
Vets to Force Action On Pro.
 hibition Question

Columbus, O., Sept. II P)-Wet delegates to the republican state con- vention today determined to force the prohibition question to the fore despite the opposition of party lead- CTS.
 Notwithstanding that their keynote speaker, Senator Simeon D. Fess. re- publican national chairman, has said prohibition is not an issue, unless the democrats make it so, proponents of repeal were expected to make strong efforts to place some definite declar- ation on the question in the party platform.
 Those opposed to the 18th amend- ment were heartened by the declara. tion yesterday in Cleveland of Ma. tlonal Committeeman Maurice Maschke that he favors state refer- endum on the subject. Maschke said he would not bring the matter up himself in deference to Seantor Fess.
 Alderman to Lead Fight
 The fight for prohibition stand was expected to be led by State Sen. ator Joseph Alderman of Cleveland, who declared he would carry the fight to the convention floor if the platform committee refused to ham, dle the subject other than contem- plated by the leaders-a declaration Tn favor of enforcement of all laws, Alderman said he would have the support of a number of delegates in ms fight for plank declaring in favor of referendum, repeal or modification.

directional signs as well as some other states. Motorists can testify that in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Maryland it is rarely difficult to locate a town if within reasonable distance of it.
 Touring motorists testify that Maryland has gone a little further than most other states in the sign industry, meaning state signs, and not billboards. A New Britainite who covered some of the Maryland highways recently tells us that the state has affixed a neat and artis- tic sign at every river, creek, stream, brook or whatnot-some of which have run dry. Thus the motorist, reaching a bridge and crossing a more or less insignificant body of water, is informed through an at tractive sign that he is crossing Yellow Creek" It may not do him a world of good to discover the whereabouts of the creek but the psychological effect" is invigorat- ing, and he naturally thinks just a little more of the state than he did before he saw the sign.

PILSUDSKI AND HIS FOES

Premier Pilsudski of Poland, who has been dictating for quite spell, catches Is of his political opponents asleep and has them sent to jail.
 Thus the premier of Poland seeks to clarify the political situa- tion.
 Such methods do not work indefi- nitely. Instead of submerging oppo- stion, the flames of revolt are viz orously famed.
 Pilsudski has not as thorough -go- ing governmental control as Musso- lini and it is doubtful whether the liberty-loving Poles will permit anything of the kind to develop, The type Of dictatorship which they have had up to now is of modified form; and it is significant that one of the main subjects for political contention is whether the premier has not seized more rights than he is entitled to possess.

THE GRAF IN MOSCOW

The Graf Zeppelin visits Moscow, circles low over the city, twice dips over the ancient Kremlin in tribute to the Soviet chieftains, and then lands amid a crowd of 100000 Dr. Hugo Eckener then exchanges greetings and courtesies with high Russian officials.
 The Communistic virus would not have far to go to travel from Russia to Germany. But the Germans recog- nized the Soviets, evidently thinking it was not the business of Germany to cavil at the kind of government the Russians happened to have.
 Our state department is more prudent. It takes no chances with red germs from Russia.
 Such germs as may cling to Rus sian trade are exceptions.

LIGHTS FOR PEDESTRIANS

Pedestrians walking along high ways in the night time frequently get into trouble, with doctors and nurses lowering around the bed side. Sometimes such pedestrians don't even notice doctors or nurses, having been turned into lifeless clay needing the services of undertak- CTS.
 How to avoid the needless slaughter is agitating some of the best minds in motordom. Autoists, of course, would prefer not to strike pedestrians. But it is frequently diff ficult to notice them quickly enough in the night time, especially when the pedestrians are walking along the parts of the roads usually serv- ing as speedways for the motors. The Norwich Bulletin comes for ward with a good suggestion, namc- ly, that pedestrians walking along highways in the night time use "a reflector or light" which we assume means he is safer if he carries a flashlight, which approaching auto ists would have no difhculty in sec ing.
 That sounds reasonable. In these days when every autom objle carries lights, and even such few vehicles not propelled by gasoline are af- fixed with lights, a step in the right direction would be for pedestrians to be equipped with lights also.
 But we fear not many pedestrians will follow the suggestion.
 In New Jersey in parts of which the towns are as close together as in Connecticut, the Legislature has authorized the state highway de- partment to construct sidewalks along highways where walkers are numerous, This too, is a good way l out of the dilemma. In too many in- stances main highways running through villages are used as side walks; the pedestrians take short walks upon them, to be sure, but fate in the form of tragedy takes no note of the shortness of walk.
 The idea has been frequently ad- vanced in Connecticut, where along some highways at or near villages l there is as much need for walking room as anywhere in New Jersey. But nothing definitely has been done in this state about the matter. Let somebody try to walk from Barnes | dale to Plainville at night along the highway and he places his life in the | lap of luck. Nobody does it, of course but any walker has the privi- | lege if he doesn't care to ride, and I according to the law he has as much

SOME DAY Contributed

Some day I'll wander back again To see the old home on the hill, To scent the roses pink and white, And listen to the whippoorwill; To leave the city and it's care, And feel the summer breezes cool, To follow down the old wood path That leads me to the swimming pool. Some day I'll wander back again To see the school house in the lane, And stand beneath the old oak tree, Where oft in youth l carved my
 name;
 To meet the boys I used to know, Ere age had crept, and made them
 old,
 To sit on the old birch bench again: And watch the sunset turn to gold. Some day they'll bring me back
 again,
 My wandering feet will then be still, My eyes be closed in calm repose. I will not see the distant hill; And they will lay me in my bed, In the valley green, beside the hill, And I shall rest in sweet content, Tho I'll not hear the whippoorwill.

THE AGE OF BLINKERS

Police Chief Hart, officiating as a sort of street traffic supervisor, is authorized to investigate traffic con- ditions at various street corners.
 Unless our hunch is bad, that means more traffic blinkers in due course.
 To be sure, some of the intersec- tions under view may not need blinkers. But on such corners where conditions warrant them,' they usually are installed.
 Some of the intersections are along streets now being increasingly used for routes around the central zone. Motorists, learning of the ex- istence of these routes which serve to avoid the blinker lights down. town, now are likely to be treated to more of them along the short cut routes.
 In that case perhaps they can find some other routes that are free of lights.
 The motorist nowadays, when he has a pleasant dream, dreams Of driving along a street that is not in convenienced by single light stand ard.
 But that only happens in dreams.

DEPORTING BOOTLEGGED
 ALIENS
ALIENS

Certains items have appeared in the papers of late tending to in- dicate that the U. S. immigration service is honeycombing cities in search for aliens who have bootleg ged themselves into the country con. trary to the quota laws. And in all most all cases it has been found that such aliens came into the country through Canada; and some of them admitted they had paid autoists sums to be driven across the border at slightly guarded points, and us- ually at night.
 Employment conditions being what they are, there naturally is a more pronounced opposition to aliens in the country contrary 10 the immigration laws. Consequently, there is no outcry against deporta- tions, which have been rather fre- quent of late.
 Risks taken by aliens who allow themselves to be bootlegged into the country, then marry and begin rais- ing a family, are great. One such instance Tn Southern Connecticut resulted in a man being deported while his wife and baby remained in this country. That aggravates rather than relieves a situation; but law is law.
 Canada herself has taken some steps to relieve the situation. Also faced with unemployment she has put up the bars against immigra- ton except in the case of farm laborers from England.
 There were days when thousands could come to this country unim- l peded and all be assured of jobs Times have changed. and there have ! been accounts in the papers oi scores returning to European lands after having been here long enough to discover that machinery is doing much of the work that foreign laborers formerly found profitable.

BLEASE BREEZES OUT

Coleman L. Blease, the South Carolina political tartar, fails of re- nomination for the U. S. Senate.
 Twas notable defeat in the fiery career of this "colorful character" but James F. Byrnes, who wins the nomination, did so by a scanty 5000 votes. Approximately 115,ooo voters thought Blease was a good senator.
 This indefatigable politician is not down and out. He has been defeated before. Indeed, his enemies say he has been the most defeated man in public life. Blease himself says he has been elected more times to pub lie office than any other man of his time.
 In either case he will continue to stir discussion. Men of violent ! tempers, like Blease, and vigorous denunciators of what they happen to dislike, usually attract attention far beyond their intrinsic import ance. It has always been Blease's practice to do something different, even should it be foolish. He thrived on brickbats.
 It must be remembered that in 1915 Blease was regarded as
 through" after he had resigned the
 governorship of the Palmetto state
 a week before the expiration of his Fsecond term. He wrote the Eresigna- 1 tion in red ink and its reading was I cheered to the echo in the Legisla- | ture.
 But he stepped back into the po- litical arena, was defeated for office several times, only to win the four cornered fight that won him the Senate nomination in 1924.
 His role as governor was far more spectacular than his role as senator. He issued more than 5000 pardons and paroles and his constant quar- | rels with the |. S. Government l created nationwide attention. Be- | tween the time he quit as governor and his entry into the Senate. he i quarrelled with President Wilson, opposed everything the war presi- | dent stood sfor and objected to American entry into the World War with loud language.
 Byrnes, the South Carolina vic- l tor, comes to belated success. He was expected to defeat Blease for | the nomination in 1924, when the | anti -Blease forces were supposed to 1 combine in favor of Byrnes. This time the concentration of anti Blease votes was quite successful.

POINTING WAY TO NEW BRITAIN

Civic pride again has eXemplified itself in desire to have more signs along the highways indicating to motorists the way to get to New Britain.
 This time the City Plan Commits sion has taken up the matter, aided by the Chamber of Commerce which has frequently mentioned the dearth of New Britain signs-and the State Highway Department has been advised of the local wishes.
 Whether this is a species of city advertising depends upon the point of view. One view is that motorists have a right to expect such direc- tional signs at highway intersections so that they might not lose them selves. Advertising value is supple mentary It is possible, of course, that were more directional signs showing the way to New Britain along the highways there would be additional motorists from afar com- ing 0 the city.
 The fact that New Britain is not along the Post road, nor on any other main highway unless the Plainville road is to be regarded as such, would suggest that New Britain signs 1 be plentifully distributed. No motor ist rolling along the Post road could miss Meriden. for instance; nor New Haven, Unquestionably cities like New Britain, which have grown up apart from the main highways Of travel, somewhat are harder to To- cateby motorists who happen 10 be strangers in the state or who come from distant points in the state.
