was discovered by a census

Valuable old paintings, statues and price

Russia and sold to clearinghouse keepers,

THE PARDONING SYSTEM

Again the public is made conNer- sant with the pardoning system. Eighty-one prisoners in Wethersfield have asked the pardoning board for clemency. Needless to say, with a large portion of these it is something in the nature of formality. This state is not likely to see a wholesale repopulation of it's state prison on the order of that which took place in Texas when Ma" Ferguson was governor The board of pardons is inclined to be careful; yet some pardons arc granted, and each of the S1 who have made applications is imbuod with hope for the best. Hope, be it said, is something that makes life more worth living, even in prison.
 Among the petitioners are ''lifers," men who were sent to prison flor life' following murders with which they were identified. One learns. therefore, why murderers prefer life in prison" to being executed. They know fully that a sentence for life does not necessarily mean that. There is no telling, they ruminate, when the board of pardons will conclude that they have been salvaged for society and can start life all over again on the out side of the prison walls.
 If life imprisonment really and actually meant that in every case many a murderer would prefer to be hanged.

THE C. X 0. WINS-A POINT

The Chesapeake and Ohio railroad, under control of the Van Sweringeu interests, has been granted permis- sion by the Interstate Commerce 2 Commission 10 acquire control of the Hooking Valley railroad, an import ant north south carrier in the Mid !. dle West. Commissioner Eastman alone dissented from the allocation.
 At time when railroad consoli- dation plans are being warmly de- bated and New England has become vitally interested in the steady ac.- quisition of trunk line ownership Of the stock of it's major railroads, this is an important decision. It indi- cates that the ]. C. C. is willing to push through consultations that ap- pear justified in the interest of the public; which is to say, consoida- tions that round out the strength of
 
 the major systems and tend to equalize them will meet with the commissions approval.
 That does not mean that compet- ing lines can be gobbled up by the trunk lines.
 But. some of the trunk lines have formed holding companies and through them are playing hob with the ideas Of I. C. C. The latter ad- mits that under the law there is no way 10 curb the holding companies,
 It is through one of these hold ing companies that New England faces trunk line control of it's chief railroad systems. By the time Con- gress gets around to passing a new law 10 do something about the holding companies the eggs may be so far scrambled that unscrambling will be lext to impossible.

POLITICS IN ILLINOIS

The eyes of the nation, we are in formed, are on the senatorial nomi- nation inbrogl;o in Illinois, which comes to a head today. Tomorrow $ papers will tell whether Senator Charles |. Deneen or Ruth Hanna Mccormick, daughter of Mark Han ma, is to receive the Republican, nomination for the Senate. which in illinois is believed tantamount to election.
 If Mrs. Mccormick gets it she un- doubtedly will be the first woman to be elected to the |. s. Senate, as suming that in the November elec- ton the Democrats will have the usual hard slsdding in Illinois.
 Senator Deneen has made a weak defense of his vote in favor of tn , World Court, which Mrs. Mccormick bitterly attacked. The senator has been content with explaining that he voted for adherence to the World Court because of desire 10 partici- pate in party regularity. He should have come out mancully and given it as his opinion it was the proper step to take. AS it is he frankly has admitted he voted for the World Court without believing in it.
 The trend of the argument put up in Illinois seems 10 be that the state opposes the World Court idea. Since the days when Mayor Thom pson of Chicago waged a campaign to take King Georges snout out of tho schools" to the present, international politics have occupied the attention of local politicians more than local issues.
 It is useless to chuckle too loudly, however. New England had its Bossy Gillis.

GLIDER PROSPECTS

Glider enthusiasts are predicting that the time is not far distant when glider trains" with airplGncs talk inG the place of locomotives, will 2oom across tho country, carrying passengers and freight.
 It is an intriguing thought. The recent successful glider flight Of Capt, Frank NJ. Hawks, when tn, airplane and glider under his con trol crossed the continent in 1-2 days, at least suggests that the dream Of glider trains may come true.
 An airplano towing a glider is a novel sight. Hawks has proved it can be accomplished over long dis tances There is now nothing left 10 do but 10 refine Inc 1echnic.

lumbia Court of Appeals has so rul. ed in the case of confiscation un- der these circumstances. The actual owner of the automobile-not the man who actually violated the law is the loser just the same.
 Secretary Mellon, made defendant in the case because of his official position, set up the claim that under the law his decision that the car need not be returned 10 the actual owner-the automobile concern was conclusive" and that the courts under the law did not control such action. Three courts held in favor of him; and the way is now cleared for similar seizures regardless of conditional payments.
 This looks like victory for the prohibition forces.

LAND APARTMENTS AND THEIR COST

While worldwide attention has been centered upon the deliberations Of the London Naval Conference the public is apt to overlook the fact that Of the five nations represented at the conference only two-Great Britain and Japan-spend more money upon their navies than they do upon their armies
 And that the United States spends more than any of them upon both hor navy and upon her army, the sums charged to the maintenance of the air service not being included.
 The navy, army and air estimates for 192S-1929 of the five powers represented at the London Naval Conference are as follows:

In spite of certain reductions in armaments of certain countries specified by the peace treaties, Europe today and as a whole spends between 200 and 800 millions of dol lars more on armaments annually than it did in 1913.
 That is something to think about. in spite of the changed status of money, which today buys less, even in armaments. than it did in 1913.
 World expenditures for ornaments today is in q ratio Of 60 per cent expended by the European countries, about 20 per cent by the United States, and 20 per cent by the re- mainder of the world.
 On an income basis it is computed that the United States, with about 35 per cent of the income of the world, accounts for under IT per cent of the worlds armaments ex- penditure, while Europe, with a similar income, accounts for 66 per cent.
 In the course of an analytic article by financial expert in the London Economist, appeared this paragra ph:
 "It will be seen that the United States of America and Australia spend only about l per cent of their national income on armaments, or less than any European country, whether disarmed under the terms of the peace treaties or otherwise. l full data were available, it would proba bly, be found that Europe as a whole spend on armaments at least 3 per cent and perhaps not far from per cent of it's aggre gate ments the same percentage of it's aggregate income as the United States of America, it would be spend- ing. not at the rate of o24 million pounds, as at present, but some thing like 160 million pounds. That would mean universal reduction to the level of ornaments now obtain ing in Switzerland or Austria, or, in other words, the elimination of all aggressive clements in the defense organizations of European coun- tries.'
 In other words, "poor impover- ished Europe" finds the money to spend three to four times as much as the United States, on basis of income. On an average, all over Europe, four cents out of every dol lar of the net income-computing in American money-goes for arma- ments
 One is reminded Of the state ment Of President Hoover in his Armistice Day speech in 1929: "The world today is comparative ly at peace. The outlook for a peace able future is more bright than for half century past. Yet atler all, it is an armed peace. The men under arms, including active reserves in the world, are almost 30, 100000 in number, or nearly 1O,- 000,000 more than before the Great War"
 Of the S0,000,0 GOO it Is estimated by the |. s. War Department that C 5000, 900 are actively under arms.
 The armies maintained by the nations forms significant reading: Here is the latest available list:
