The West Scores.

Robert M. La Toilette, jr., of Wiscon-
sin Is to become member of the Senate
finance committee, which handles tariff
and revenue legislation. His assignment
by the Republican committee on COM
mittees to that post is not likely to
give the country cause for alarm, despite
the desperate efforts which some of the
Republican "Old Guard" of the Senate
made to keep Mr.. La Toilette OF that
committee. Furthermore, the decision
Of the committee to place Senator
Thomas of Idaho on the finance COM
mittee, along with Senator La Toilette
helps to give TO the great West and
Northwest additional representation on
this important committee which 1t de-
serves. Senator Thomas is one of the
new Senators on the Republican side
of the chamber He represents. in q
measure, the group which has beer
dubbed the Young Guard" formed al
the last session Of Congress TO expedite
passage of the tariff bill.
The West has for years been endeav-
oring TO get its fair share Of the bene-
fits which accrue to the country from
the protective tariff. The present night
in the Senate itself over the pending
tariff bill is another evidence of ths
| differences which have existed between
the West and the East on this important
question It recalls the fight made by
Western Senators in 1909, led by the
late Senator Dolliver of Iowa, wher
another tariff bill was before the Sen
ate. The Republicans of the West ar,
not opposed to the theory Of the protec.
tive tariff. They are anxious to hav'
their people receive, however, benefit'
! from the tariff which may be common

industrial East. That is what the!

Belgian Troops
Quit Aix-la -Chapelle.
lie Soir, Brussels.-The last Of the
Belgian army Of occupation has de-
parted from Aix-la- Chapelle. The Ger
mans have been spending the day in
rejoicing. and in posting up manifesta-
tons beginning with "Aacfen list frei!
and ending with their old battle-cry,
Deutschland Uber Alles!"
TO us this does not seem in very good
taste. During the lenient dominion OF
foreign troops in various sectors, DUR
ing the fulfillment of the reparatiors
program, the Germans have consistently
considered themselves very much abused
They have continuously uttered COM
plants, reproaches and threats of re-
yenge, and they have magnified ex-
cesdingly the merely nominal restric-
tons under which they have been placed
by the various armies Of occupa ton. In
deploring the petty annoyances to which,
they have been subjected, they forget
entirely the martyrdom which they In
hicted upon Belgium, a neutral and SOW
ereign state, which was not allowed the
opportunity to be loyal to its own con-
science.
While foreign troops have been sta
TONED in German tarrifnry fhara hnvn
been loud lamentations upon the in
Justice Of such treatment. but there have
been no expressions Of regret for what
Belgium had to endure. All, yes, it
does still make q difference whose OK

In Life Of Vienna.
Neues Wiener Tageblat, Vienna
The Greblergaese (Grebler street,
presented an unusual appearance to-
day. The pavement was strewn thickly
with straw, and at the intersec-
ton stood policeman, who was
charged with keeping the traffic in par
reigned, which the doctors had pre-
scribed for the sick patients in the ada
cent hospitals. However. this precau-
ton did not prevent smoke from the
motor-car exhausts from wandering In
at the open windows and causing an
other annoyance to the sick people.
This, and smoke from other sources, is
another menace that will have to be
guarded against when the matter of
noise Is finally disposed Of However,
there is always something forgotten, and,
though horns and sirens we're mute,
precisely at z o'clock, there came a
screaming shrek from the whistle of a
nearby factory, sumnoning the en-
ployes to work, Beginning at high C.
three octaves above the scale, It de-
scended to G Of the low bass, and was
sufhcient in itself to terminate the ex-
istence Of almost any suffering invalid.

January Promise.
It's not so very long to wait
For blosscming SO fair
And birds that gayly congregats
Where perfumes fill the air.
Although the snow with sparkling chill
May hide the leaf and flow'r,
We soon shall know the genial thrill
That marks the Mayday hour.
The sunrise with its coloring soft,
The twilights radiant fare,
Still hold their promises aloft
OF splendor rich and rare.
When April rainbows find the spot
Where clouds have fingered late
The skies remind us 1t is not
So very long to wait.

MRS. LUDDY WINS
 FORECLOSURE SUIT
Defendant Unable to Show Re ceipt for Questioned Payment

Redemption day was set for October 27 by Judge Stanley J. Ira ceski in city court in a judgment for the plaintiff in the case of Mary A. Luddy vs. David T. Larson and others today, the dispute being over the number of payments that had been made on mortgage note and also on the time to be allowed for redemption of the claim.
 The property involved is known as the Luddy property on Church street. nearly opposite the railroad station On January 6. 1926, Judge Morris D. Saxe took a mortgage on the property for s19,25O, to be paid of at the rate of $500 a month, and Interest. One payment of $500 is in question, Mrs. Luddy claiming that sl5,750 is due her and David T. Larson, to whom Judge Sake deeded - the property on May 15. 1929, that the amount is s15,250. The install ment alleged due was to be made on March 5, this year, and, no proof being shown that the payment had been made, Judge Traceski found for the plaintiff for s15,750 and in terest, a total of s15,95568.
 Mrs. Luddy is thus allowed to foreclose on October 27, but a mortgage claim of William Will Hams, Jr., may have a week longer. There are several mortgage liens on the property, totaling about $60,- GOO, with a sales value on the pro- perty of between s5o0oo and s54,- 900. Besides the Luddy and Will lams. Jr., claims. other claims in- clude those by Henry Morans Dam tanos Apostolon, Levio Bassoni, the Hartford Plumbing Supply Co.,, Fred c. Monier. Jr., of Newington, the New Britain Typesetting Co.,, and Frank Nair, Inc.
 Mrs. Luddy claims foreclosure, possession of the property, and re- ceiver of the rents.
