In the death of Colonel Norris G. Osborn
Connecticut loses one of its most distin-
guisl,ed citizens. 1t is with much pride that
we Of the newspaper world claim him as one
Of our own. He was until few days ago
forceful figure in the journalistic profess
sion. He maintained his contacts with his
office at the New Haven Journal Courier
right up to the end, directing its editorial
policy and actually debating comment
when his strength permitted. He remained
always firm believer in the efficacy of
the editorial page or newspaper. That
perhaps is what made the editorials Of the
Journal Courier the most read and oft
quoted.
For fifty years the name of Osborn and
newspaperdom has been synonymous in this
state. We can still recall the days when he
and the late Charles Hopkins Clark. editor
OF the Hartford Courant for so many years.
INDUCED in the pleasant pastime of batting
each other. Too better antagonists across
the width Of an editorial page would be hard
to find again. The Courant might loosen
thunderbolt of editorial invective that would
have sent many a brave man scurrying to
cover But Colonel Osborn would turn aside
these thrusts with a delicate finesse and
adroitness that was SO characteristic of him.
There was no gutter type of mud-slingng
from these editors. They were far above
that. They had real respect for the opinions
Of each other though they might hold the
same up to public ridieule. We think the
death of Charles Hopkins Clark was real
blow to Colonel Osborn as it deprived him
Of an opponent worthy of his steel. Of late
years this great editor was such counsellor
az the democratic party of the state never
had. He may truthfully be regarded as the
guardian angel of our governor. Wilbur L.
Cross. He proved his most steadfast sup
porter through the months of his appearance
40 likely gubernatorial candidate.
As chairman of the board Of directors of
the state prison at Wethersheld, Colonel o.
born had to bear the brunt of countless at
lacks on this institution. He withstood
them all with great courage and carried on
his work for the betterment of our state
institutions slowly. but methodieally. He
was an authority on penology. Any refer
cnee to his articles on the foundation and
expansion Of the correctional institutions
of Connecticut in his four-volume History
of Connecticut will speedily find that out.
1t will be long time before we can close the
gap left by his death. Let us pause In men,

of them all - Colonel Norris G. Osborn.

South opened with a bid of one
diamond, which North overcalled
with one spade, one over one
force. East passed and South's
next bid was one no trump.
North bid two spades to show
that he had five-card suit, and
when South bid two no trump,
North carried him to three no
trump and that became the final
contract.
The Play
North's bidding was rather ag-
gressive, to say the least, and he
presented his partner with diff
cult problem.
The opening lead was the four of
clubs, won in dummy with the
queen. Declarer played small
spade from dummy, West winning
with the king and returning an
other club.
After winning with the ace of
clubs, the declarer led the ten of
hearts, and, after some consider
alton, West played the jack.
Declarer also hesitated, and final
ly decided to play low from dunn
my. These two opportunities to
cover an honor-one accepted and
the other Undetermined the out
come of the hand although the de-
clarer still had to play carefully to
make the contract.
East won the heart trick with the
ace, and, not wishing to assist in
establishing dummy's spades, he re-
turned a small diamond.
Declarer played the six from his
own hand, allowing dummy to win
the trick with the ten spot.
When the queen of spades was
lee from dummy, East won it with
the ace and declarer discarded a
small club.
East still was unwilling to lead
into dummy's spades, SO returned
another diamond.
Declarer won it with the jack and
laid down the ace and king of dia-
monds, discarding dummy's two
small spades.
His next lead was the nine of
hearts and whether or not West
covered this time, declarer must
make two more heart tricks and
the jack of spades to fulfill his
three no trump contract.

All Grains Higher in
Active Session.
BY HAROLD E. RAINVILLE.
United Press Staff Correspondent

CHICAGO, Sept. Wheat prices
shot up around l cent as the Board
of Trade opened today on the vigo-
rous upturn in stocks and the firm
ness at Liverpool. Stocks and
cotton added sharp gains to their
late rallies of Tuesday anG linn
tied offerings kept Liverpool strong.
These factors, indicating change
in sentiment, brought in heavy buy
ing and short covering and trading
was very active at the start.
There was little pressure. Corn
and rye were firm with wheat, but
oats was slow to respond.
Opening Is Strong
At the opening wheat was q to
is cents higher; corn was 4 to IS
cent higher; oats was unchanged,
and rye was % to u cent higher.
Provisions were steady.
Liverpool was very quiet and slow
most of the session, holding Is cent
higher at mid-afternoon. The mar
ket remains in waiting mood.
Factors that recently determined
the trend have lost their import
Canadian marketings are of record
proportions, but it is believed they
are nearing their peak.
Offerings Increase
Country offerings of old corn in
creased materially Tuesday. The
largest part was from Illinois, but
several cars of Iowa corn we're
offered for the first time in a year.
During the last year Iowa corn has
been going west and northwest, due
to the crop failure in that Sec
ton.
Arrivals of oats continue limited
and just about sufficient to meet
the daily consumption requirements
of the local market. Futures re-
main dull and inactive.
