THE WATER SUPPLY
 AS AN ISSUE

The public will await with interest details regarding MT. McDonough's position on the water supply, which he says is to be a leading issue in the city election campaign.
 Particularly important is the knowledge that under the plans, or any plan so far brought forward, the Mayor is to have the determin- ing voice. In other words, the Mayor must approve the plan before it can be formally adopted.
 Although the water question is one which will vitally affect the future of the city, it is clothed with techni- calities. The average man and wom- an dislikes technicalities: but in this matter he and she must take the trouble to be informed so as to this contentious issue between New Britain and Hartford.
 The Water Board of this city be- gan peering into the future before authorities in Hartford did likewise. New Britain moved to allocate to itself certain sections of it's natural watershed and steps were well taken in this direction when Hartford also became interested in it's future water supply. Ultimately an agreement was attempted. It is whether such an agreement sufficiently safeguards the future needs of New Britain that there is need for further study and that exercise of Caution" that MT. McDonough has mentioned.
 Caution" by the way, is the right word. Citizens of New Britain when they understand all the angles of the proposition will have a right to demand caution-plus.

LOCATING THE LOBBIES ON
 LIQUOR

The lobby investigating commit tee of the Senate lets it be known that it isn't through as yet, that there are "other things to look into.
 For instance, there is the question of lobbying on the prohibition ques- ton.
 Delving into wet and dry lobbying is a question that may bring forth entertaining information. What could be more entrancing, for in stance, than sworn testimony as to where the money comes from, how much is expended upon this type of lobbying, and the methods employ ed"
 If the committee goes through with it's plan good headlines are as- sured. Those forced 10 testify and furnish their figures will not always feel comfortable.

BORAH'S STATE DEPARTMENT

Senator Borah, chairman of the Senate foreign relations committee, has been saying harsh things re- garding the proposed consultative pact discussed in London.
 Mr. Borah's position is one Of heavy responsibility, and if he can obtain the support of enough sena- tors, he and his assistants will have the last word to say regarding the ratification of such a treaty.
 The State Department may have vast authority in negotiating for eign treaties, but under the Consti- tuition it is the Senate which does the ratifying.
 Senator Borah's committee, there- fore, is in the nature Of a second department of state, or of foreign affairs.
 Mir. Borah's chairmanship Of this committee is distinguished by frank ness. He not only says what ne thinks, but uses harsh words. The other department of state. presided over by Secretary Stimson, is more gentlemanly, or ladylike. It never uses harsh words.
 Now as in the past, the Senate foreign relations committee would run the entire foreign relations of the country. The State Department, trying it's best to carry on. is hamp cred by the other state department | headed by Senator Borah. It is difficult for foreigners to understand our method of govern ment. They consult regarding a treaty with the State Department, for instance, and then find that MT. Borahs department or committee is in strenuous opposition and upsets the apple cart.

The defeat of ratification of the eighteenth amendment in Con- necticut, too, was by only very nar- row mal gin in the senate. The amendment passed the house twice, and it was only because the repub- lican state committee was still wet from the old brewery days, that the senate remained reaclonary In harmony herewith.
 Governors and legislators and others who remain careless as to their oaths of office are like small children playing with fire. It IS dangerous and in time they either put out the fire or else get burned.

This lasted for five years. Altogether he got $2S5, ,ooo-from the bank.
 And the bank didn't find that out until MT. Newcomb casually men, tioned it.
 During that period banking ex- aminers made regular visits. NIr. Newcomb's bookkeeping was always found all right.
 It was only when Mr. Newcomb had to remain away from the bank with sick headache," on the very day that the examiners called, and they came upon the wrong set of card index files, that things were exposed.
 MT. Newcomb had kept two sets Of cards-one for the banking ex- aminers and the other for himself.
 Whats become of the money" he was asked. Just frittered away" was the reply.
 As the dramatists would say, this is a slice Of life'
 It appears that the $1,000 week subtracted from the bank went to make up, at least in part, the defi- cits Of the popular Dick Newcomb recording artists dance orchestra.
 Prices for hiring orchestras will go up in the Connecticut valley in the future. Unless our guess is bad, MT. Nevcomb will be given the opportunity to conduct a jazz or chestra in a penitentiary.
 How is it that the bank officials failed 10 sense something wrong in the continued failure of the savings department to show a steady in- crease during the period of the peculations? How is it that the bank examiners likewise were so easy to humbug? How is it that nobody, not even the janitor, came upon the second set of index cards in the bank?
 Our modern efficiency systems are not always expertly efficient.

 Men, working waist deep in oil strove to control the geyser, know ing that any minute it may become a pillar of flame which would prob ably set other wells afro. Water Ines laid down were trained on the ;;eyscr and will he turned on should the column catch fire.
