Gene Tunney. who just lately transferred his political affections from New York state to Connecticut by becoming a voter down in Greenwich. .'is nothing if not de- nuneiatory in his condemnation of Presi- dent Hoover for his recent remarks on pro- hibition. Gene terms the president ''po- litcal turneoat' Incidentally Gene starts his campaign speeches in New England on Labor Day when he is scheduled to speak at Lewiston, Maine. Evidently the demo- crats didn't believe that as Maines goes so goes the nation" Mir Tunney calls attention, while he is vacationing in Paris. to the fact that in 1920 President Hoover almost be- came the democratic candidate for president. Old stuff. Gene. but perhaps it's as good beginning as any.

be said of it, as it was of a certain liquid, that some peaches are bet ter than others, but they are all good.
 In due time, Connecticut will contribute her own quota. How much her contribution may be we do not know, though in the days of the late J. H. Hale of Glaston- bury, Connecticut peaches obtained much publicity and deserved it. In those days, freight cars loaded with peaches were run on the Glaston- bury trolley line to the East Hart ford freight yards and sped on their way from there. We dare say the Lyman orchards in Middlefield are productive. and years ago peaches of the white type were raised in Wallingford. We, are in- different as to the source; what we chiefly desire is the fruit.
 We feel certain that there are old men in this state who recall that once in hedgegrowths on the farms there fiourished peach trees almost as tenacious of life as their neighbors, the apples. They were unpruned, unfertilized, uncared for, but when spring came they pro- duced blossoms, which farmer boys noted at the time and then forgot
 until September had arrived and frost was noted in the mornings. Then by careful search beneath the tree one might find a peach. One side of it might be too hard even for boy to eat, but the other half l would be mellow. The boy ate it and was thankful. It was not sweet far from it, but it was juicy and 1t, carried a characteristic peach flavor. Perhaps the boy wasted time in seeking out other. trees. but if the quest was successful he did not regard the time as wasted. 1t was not, for the flavor of those 1 peaches is still a clear memory.

One Successful Stowaway

Persons planning to travel as stowaways should be careful as paying passengers to have their passports and identification papers in good order. Then they can laugh at mmi- grafton officials and others. That was the experience of young Porto Rican who. af- ter living in New York, returned to his native land several years ago to seek work. He found himself not SO well off there as in America, SO he decided to come back Lack ing money for transportation he investigated the stowaway possibilities He wrote to
 lawyer in this country explaining the sit uation and asked whether he could legally enter the country. He was told that as Porto Rican he was an American citizen and could come and go in the United States at will He was also informed that his method of arrival was immaterial.
 He wrote letters to lot of different laundries and actually got reply from one of them offering him job. Thus fortified, he embarked as stowaway on ship head ing for New York. He was found the sec- ond day out Seaslekness had betrayed him to the ships authorities. It was only partial betrayal; he was too sick to work for his passage. However, they told him the dire fate that awaited stowaways in the United States. He laughed at that. counting -on his legal advice. When he reached his destination. he even had chance to laugh at the immigration officials. who could find nothing wrong with his credentials, much as they tried. His method of travel is not recommended but his nerve is.

Ogden L. Mills, secretary of the treasury. is nothing if not thoroughly republican in his campaign remarks. Outside of that he is pretty shrewd man. But when 1t comes to delivering speeches for the administration he turns sour. He allows himself to be- come permeated with that roseate glow which republicans take for granted as natural inheritance. For example, Mir Mills speaks about the concrete orderly program and the chaos in democratic ranks That's high-sounding, but it doesn't mean thing to the average voter today. As far as party confusion and chaos is concerned the republican party can show its share. And if any better proof of this is needed then we refer Mir Mills to the contrasting accept anee speeches of President Hoover and his running mate, ice-President Curtis. What could be sweeter than the way they got to- gether on the prohibition issue! And we could point to the spectacle of Senator Borah refusing to cast his lot with President Hoover, not to mention Senator Hiram A. Bingham and other republican vets prefer ring the democratic stand on prohibition to that the republicans took at their national convention. We think Mir Mills was per- haps bit ill advised in making the rash statement he did

NEA SerVlCO Wrlter Washington.-Less than 10 years ago the late Wayne B. Wheeler of
 the Anti-Saloon league was order
 ing a president of the United States on the water wagon and telling
 him to stay there.
 Less than five years ago the or ganized dry leaders had an un- duplicated entree to the White House, where their advice and ad- mentions were heard with respect
 and attention.
 Just couple of years ago Bishop
 James Cannon. then field marshal of the drys, defied a senate commit tee and walked out on it in angry contempt.
 Had Congress Buffaloed Until even more recently the drys had most of congress eating out of their hands and high pro- hibition enforcement officials ap- bearing before their meetings to
 deliver inspirational speeches de- signed to retain their support. All those recollections emphasize the fierceness of the position in
 which the good menf and women who head the numerous dry organ- izations, once so powerful. find themselves today. The avalanche of events which
 has landed them in their present sad plight cannot be detailed in limited space, but an epoch in his tory begins to close and there Is no parallel for the story of this organized high-pressure group which rose to exert for a few years an unprecedented influence on the national government and then, ap- parently, suddenly bgean to cave in toward a resumption of its former relatively unimportant status.

pINCHING CoNsTABLEs
(New Haven Register)


 Connectciut motorists ought to be pleased with the report that officials of Trumbull are going to investigate the way constables or the town have been arresting drivers for slight cause. They ought to be pleased because the way the small-town motoring traps are set and sprung on ur- suspecting drivers has just about passed the limit of mere nuisance and has become disgusting dis grace.
 Nobody will deny that such of- ficials have rights and duties Of enforcing fair and decent traffic regulations. But the mbdern at titude seems to be something en- tirely different from law enforce ment. Pinching, not enforce ment, is the rule. And the merit of the charges. or, inversely. the gravity of the offenses, can pretty well be judged from the treatment the cases receive. The fines are in- significant. The so-called costs are blown up all out of proportion, The custom has become so yell established that native motorists take the abuse lying down. Only occasionally does one have the nerve to make a good protest or the time to follow it through. II seems that the motorists are about due for a redeal. They are paying enough through various taxes to support the state high ways and motoring administration without being forced much longer to support an army of country con- stables besides.
 And while we say that Connec- ticut motorists ought to be pleased at the announcement that at least one town is going to investigate we qualify that statement. The pleasure must be conditioned or the remark attributed to one ol the Trumbull constables. that ir his time he has seen investigations come and go and that they never result in anything.

Irreconcilables Out

It is odd to note the way that the irree- oncilables in republican circles are coming to the fore this year. There have been any number of former opponents of the state organization mentioned for public office. Of course that doesn't mean they will even secure a nomination, but years ago mere z mention of their names was sufficient to earn anybody political ostracism. The latest name brought forward for political consideration is that of John M. Wadhams of Torrington. The former senator may z z seek place in the state Senate again this fall according to all reports from up the .aIvslley.
 Fe a We can recall the closing dap of Mir Wadham's career in Hartford. He was one of the stalWafts of republican circles. ..althoush he was independent enough to en- @tertain refreshing opinions on all public topics. He was not necessarily guided by political expectancy. Perhaps that is why he retired to private life so abruptly after many years devoted to public service. Ger ssisinly when he deserted the traditional @tepubliean pay-as-you-go policy his decline was rapid. But his popularity never waned. sseT hat is as great today as it was four or five years ago.
 s@S His efforts 10 buck MT Roraback's or sS...se,ganization in 1924 as candidate for the ~ gubernatorial nomination and in 1926 as ...ssa seeker after the lieutenant governor nom- E-ination were fruitless, but sufficient to con- na@vinee the man that the reward of his years sSSss1os faithfulness were nil Mir Wadhams par .sstieipated in what was probably the last &ssRoraback- Ulman battle with the former Fsssroming off victorious as he had consistently for many years before that where state offices were concerned. oddly enough when Mir Wadhams sought second place on the sec- { oad ticket it went to J. Edwin Brainard cwho few years later sought to boost him. self up by his boot straps only to have the -rRoraback machine eject him summarily from the sccoe.
 In Mir Wadhams' case he may be able to win the support of the Roraback forces, as his district, the thirtieth, is now represented by democrat, Edwin o. Wright, of Goshen. But the aid of Mir Rorabaek may be hindranee rather than godsend this
 fall. The potency of the name no longer prevails as in days of yore It may still in- fluenec republican gatherings, but it does ' not hold any terror for democrats since Governor Cross invaded the lair of the drag
 on and exposed him to the public eye. If
 Mr Wadhams counts on being nominated
 and elected to the State Senate we think The would do far better to rely on his own
 standing and popularity rather than upon
 Rorabackian influence which is still con- siderable but not the conslusive force it was rin days gone by.
