AIlcorn To Investigate

The name of Hugh M. Alcorn, states at torney for Hartford county, IS more than mere byWord in Connecticut. The energetic prosecutor for the state is rapidly achieving a national prominence and reputation that is not merely based on the fact that Presi- dent Hoover wanted to name him an assist ant attorney general of the United States year or so ago. It must grate on the sensitive nerves of Republican State Chairman J. Henry Rorabaek and U. S. Senator Hiram A. Bingham to mark the continued progress of Mir Alcorn in his chosen sphere. It was their antagonism which prevented his nom- inaton by the president
 It was the same display of spirit which denied Representative John Q. Tilson of New Haven, House floor leader. of some honor as candidate for the vice e-presldential nomination four years ago. Hostility be- tween tn. state leader and the veteran legs- lator from New Haven again figured prom inently in the proceedings. However. neither States Attorney Alcorn nor Repre- sentative Tilson seems to have been affected visibly by this display of partisanshp upon the part of their party chairman. They are both advancing while. it will have to be ad- n,itted, Mir Roraback's star is on the wane.
 Mir Rorabaek has indicated this year that he would like to see Mir lilson chosen speaker of the House when the 72nd Con- gress convenes in December. Now he must watch Mir Alcorn gain additional honors by conducting the grand jury probe of the fatal air crash above Newlngton ten days ago. Acting upon the advice of Chief Justice of the Superme Court Maltbie. Gov ernor Cross has decided to entrust the im- partial state probe of the crash to the grand jury which is impaneed in Hartford coun- ty and which is under the able ioremanship of Attorney Benedict M. Holden
 State Aviation Commissioner Charles l.. Morris has disqualified himself as well as any member of his department. from prob- ing the crash due to the presence Of h's deputy, Jack Lenox. at the scene of the crash shortly before it occurred In 1act. army investigators were quick to lay the blame on Mir Lenox. We feel sure that States Attorney Alcorn will get to the bot tom of the unfortunate tragedy. lie may find it necessary 10 indict both the army flyers and the pilot of the civilian plane. Certainly their presence in the vicinity of state tuberculosis sanatorium won't be over locked. That action itself calls for orders from the state aviatons commissioner. With Alcorn on the job there is bound to be ae- ton calculated to get at the bottom of the affair.

Prison Needs

The Wickersham Commission report on American prison conditions is sufficiently concrete to justify the labor and money used in its compilation and, perhaps. to lead to equally concrete reforms. The repor. pre- sents definite conclusions and recommenda- tions which are we'll worth studying. The present prison system, the commission finds, is antiquated and inefficient" failing both to reform the criminal and to protect so- ciety. Often it contributes to crime by hardening the criminal.
 Too much money is spent on maximum security buildings, when only small pro- portion of the prison population requires such housing. Buildings of minimum and medium security would be adequate for large number of inmates. Sanitary and health conditions are terrible. but they can't be greatly improved without classification and separation of prisoners into special problem groups. Such classification would remove from the general prison population the tubereular the insane and feeble minded, drug addicts and other special types, and would differentiate the rest according to se- curty requirements and an intelligent pro- gram of prison labor.
 Antiquated and inhuman punishments found generally should be forbidden by law since they do serious harm and no possible good A higher type of prison official IS needed. with better training and better pay. Prisoners should be paid at least small sum for their labor to help support their fami- lies and also to maintain their own self respect Probation and parole are set forth as essential in the process of releasing pris- oncrs from confinement. but they require better organization and skillful and sym pathetic supervision to achieve their full possibilities.
 'Individualzation is the root of adequate penal treatment the commission maln- tains. But individualzation requires comprehensive personal study of the pris- oners whole career and that means specially qualified investigators. Many of these sug- gestons are not new. Set forth as they have been by the Wckersham Commission, how ever. they take on new meaning and inn portance. The reforms suggested by them are not for the purpose o1 "coddling crm- inas." but to protect society and to reform the criminal if possible.

We didn't believe it possible that any country could have worse prohibition law than this nations, but according to Repre- sentative William E. Hull republican. of H. linos Finland. is in much worse straits. he representative. it will be recalled. sailed for Europe early this summer to study prohibi- ton conditions in all the countries in Europe with the idea of later presenting bis im- pressions for the benefit of this nation. At one time. if we are not mistaken, MT Hull was brewer. but when prohibition was put into effect in the United States he regarded it as serious attempt to improve the moral
 and social conditions of the nation. He be- came an ardent prohibtlonist. In the last few years. however he has changed his views on the subject and hopes by his visit to Europe to secure such information as will enable him to fight for the defeat of prohi- bition in the halls of Congress. He says

Was He A Satrap?

Senator George II. Moses of Concord, N. H. must have gripped the imagination oi editors of our national periodicals when ne referred to some of his fellow colleagues as sons of the wild jack ass His congress sional acouaintances knew him well. but not SO the magazine reading public Today they have been introduced to the loquacious sen ator from the hills of New Hampshire via the columns of the Saturday Evening Fost' The recent article of the senator s has at- tracted considerable attention throughout Connecticut simply because of one reference That he alludes to one J. Henry Roraback. sometimes referred to as boss of the political destines of the state, seems to be the con- census.
 Nobody need exercise unusual powers or discernment to analyZe the following: ne individual boss is we'll night extinct. Tn fact. the last of the satraps has had his hold immeasurably shaken in the recent elections. But even he. when possessing the complete residuum of individual power he once nad to share with bis group. never Ventufed 10 command specifically the acton of eithef the senators from bis state But when the half gods go, the gods arrive; and the great god Demos now rules us all. All too fre- ouently We msinterpret bis voice. but we all listen for it and hope that we hear It alright.
 Evidently Senator Moses had some re- snect for MT Rorabaok in the days oi his prime. (We wonder what political boss thinks when editors start talking in the past tense about the days of his prlme.) For
 L.. ,,uat bave uepd inc word Satrdp with much forethougbt and not lightly. Had the state chairman of the republican party been merely satrap we don't think that he would have received the columns of publicity that have been his of recent years Accord ing 10 Webster satrap may be deiihed thusly. 1 the governor of province in ancient Persia Certainly that does not fit Mir Roraback.
 For his second definition Mir Webster oi- fers 2-hence. petty prince acting under an autoeratic superior d despotic subordi- nate official. Even that doesn't seem to iit the case. We know Mir Roraback was never petty He always did things on big scale especially as regards the republican party and the various appointive and elective oifices or the state. He may have been despote. but he certainly wasn't subordinate, as some of our former state officials well remember. Thirdly. Mr Webster refers to satrap as worldly prelate. Does this describe Mr Rorabaoki
 It does seem as if the author of the sons of the wild jackam" could have found a more descriptive term for Mr Rorabaek and his species who are now elassed as extinct.

Bridging The Gate

Now that the Detroit River has been bridged as well as tunneled. the next point on which the bridge building of the world will advance is the Golden Gate at San Fran cisco. The plans have been drawn by Joseph B. Strauss who will be chief engi- neer. The structure will be 9,2OO feet long, including a 4.200-foot main span. two HOO foot end spans and two l.4OO-ioot approaches. Construction is to begin this year and will continue for about four years. The bridge will cost $33.000,000.
 The two most difficult tasks are to be the sinking of the piers 10 support the bridge towers in solid rock beneath the water, and the spinning and erecting of the cables. l he Gate forms narrows through which the tides of the Pacific rush with force, and that makes the laying of the piers especially diff fcult The towers are 10 be "A feet tall.
 The story of the cables is in itself wonder greater than any of those of the an- cient world. Each of the two main cables will weigh nearly 1000 tons more than the new German battle cruiser Deutschland. Each cable will contain l25.577 wires and each wire will stand a pull of 7,600 pounds -- equal to the pull of 10 horses. The com peted cables are to stand pull of ZO9. .55O.- 900 pounds.
 It is sometimes said that the only way in which man can add to the beauty of nature is by building bridges. And indeed lovely bridge may melt into the surrounding seen cry in way which makes it seem part of a nobler whole Suspension bridges how ever. are seldom beautiful To many people it will seem that one of the greatest beauties in the world has been lost when the Gate is brdged But bridges are tremendously useful Perhaps in that use there will be compensation.

Who says we're going to have another war Not this country. We believe in peace first last. and all the time. Sure we do. Even if Uncle Sam is just placing battery of l4-ineh railway guns capable of scoring hits on moving vessels 25 miles dis tant at the Panama Canal don't let that fool you. These same new guns amplify the 16-inehers now doing duty at the canal. The new ones can be shipped from one end of the canal to the other and set up ready for firing in six hours. They outrange the longest 16-inch battleship guns in the world by six miles SO woe betide the foreign cruiser that ventures within range of the isthmus with evil intent. And just to show that our gunners are quite proficient the War depart ment has announced that in recent trials out of eleven shots fired one landed on the for ward turret of moving target the size Of the batteship California. We're not look ing for war. but we seem to be preparing for it.

"TANSY PUDDING"
(Hartford Courant.)


 A New York newspaper recent ly published q brief item as fol- lows: "On the Eastern Shore of Virginia people still grow herb gardens and make tansy pudding: 1h pounds of brown sugar, IA pound of butter, 10 eggs, IS crack CTS rolled fine. cup tansy juice, H cups clover or wheat juice, # pints of water, 1 pint of flour. Mix as for cake batter
 We should like to know what was done with 1t then, whether IL was baked or boiled. Also how does one get tanBy juice, much less clover or wheat juice? We sup pose that by tansy Is meant the perennial herb now showing It's rayless, yellow blooms and ex- tremely bitter leaves. We became acquainted with 1t what time the head of tho house on hot mornings brought In a. leaf of 1t, bruised It In a tumbler q little more than hnlf filled with cold water, then nlled the glass with gin and drank u: Il,
 But how does one get 'Julco from tansy or, for that matter, from clover or wheat? and what happens when 1t is mingled with tho generous amounts of brown sugar, butter and eggs? How. we ask do the Virginians get this mix ture into edible form? Not that we shall try 1t for though we might find the tansy. butter and eggs are fairly expensive.
