Time tO Get Busy
 Here's suggestion for the com mission on the observance of the 30Dth anniversary of the settle fuent of Connecticut why not have the states congressional dele- Kafion 70 inc coming short hes- sion start work for Il com memofa- five stamp for this momentous oc- easion. Connecticut surely deserves 10 have q commemorative stamp issued In her honor when ebc reaches tho ripe old age of 300 years. ComnemoratiyeA have been issued forE legs important events than that. The time Co in- xufc the issuance of L Connecticut commemorative is now 40 that congress can't put it off until it ig too late. Let's hope that pfesi- dent James Rowland Angel and his colleagues on the commission will continue their good work by enlisting congressional aid for Il commemorative stamp.

1T SEEMS TO ME BY HE EKg4TS

DOKER isn't a good game. I've
l. played every month or SO for
several years, but it's the COM
partnership which attracts me.
Most of the others in the group
feel the same way. Dealing hand
serves to space out the time when
conversation lulls. Mutes seldom if
ever engage in poker, for as a pas
time the sport itself is dull.
There have to be sandwiches, soft
drinks, tobacco, music, jokes and all
sorts Of accessories to make a poker
game enthraIl the participants past
midnight. I have known sessions
to continue longer, but only under
the obligation of duty. I myself
have spent a great many weary
hours sitting up as late as l or 2
o'clock in the morning in frantic
effort to see that the losers got even
or, at any rate, reduced their COM
mitmentS.
It is very difficult to get a loser
even. His judgment slips away with
AAAo SAAPos O4Ay bchC0 41OAO VI 41lI1l,
and at times he sinks even deeper
into the hole, in spite of the best
efforts of his fellows.
If a winner merely could say at
some reasonable hour, ''Let's call all
deficits off," that would be the
simplest and pleasantest road out of
the difficulty. But you can't do that.
To offer freely to forgive his debt
might madden him, and very posi-
bly, any such generosity q grant YOU

Prohibition News

Only two murders in indianapolis yesterday, which
recalls the prophecies and hopes of those who believed
that prohibition would solve the problem of crime.
Some recall their hopes. They believed that
when national prohibition was enacted that there
would be very few, if any, killings by drunken men.
They believed that the jails would be turned to
hospitals and the poorhouses into retreats. The in
ishing criminals would be lifted from the shoulders
Of the law abiding.
The murders in indianapolis can be traced to the
same cause-poison liquor that maddens men and
twists minds So easily this liquor obtained that
officer of the law either federal agent or policeman
thinks of attempting to trace its after such
tragedies.
Of course, there killings in the preprohbition
days that were due to drunkenness When they hap
pened a saloon was closed. The who sold the
liquor was held responsible. He lost his license in
cities where the saloon power did not control gov
eminent.
Yesterdays killings identical in their history.
In both cases. one of the men had drinking raw
posons sold as booze.
Next year candidates for the United States senate
will again pledge themselves to the dry Some.
perhaps who may get an idea that very many peo-
pie are beginning to doubt the present system will
modify their fidelity to the Anti-Saoon League with
weasel promises. There may even be one two who
will promise the people to treat this matter in
diligently Two murders day ought to be somewhat
suggestive as prohibition news.
