Washington.--"If we could put tax on red ink we could meet the deficit in the treasury" Sem ator Thomas r. Gore of Oklahoma told his colleagues.
 The white-h haired, blind senator sits, listens and never misses 0 word. His interpolations nearly always contain q thrust of sarcas- tic humor and his reputation is now that of the Senate's most suc- that the competition is very heavy. Gore hardly ever makes an ex. tended speech, but his limited re- marks are frequent.
 No one took q nastier crack at the proposals to restrict American purchases of American goods than Blind Tom"
 'I may wish," he said, "to offer amendments providing that no state shall buy anything that is not produced within the state, and that no county shall buy anything that is produced outside the coun- 1 ty; and that no farmer shall be all lowed to buy anything at all or sell anything ut all that he grows on HIS IhTH1, unu ulBO to O1EcT u mo- ton that the American eagle shal be displaced as the emblem of the republic and 0 terrapin be substi. tutcd in it's stead--a terrapin closed up in It's shell and hermet- ically sealed. If trade is a curse let us stop It."
 Core isn't always gentle with in- dlvidual members--evcn fellow democrats. When Ashurst of Ari- zona was proposing 0 constitution al amendment to tax tax-excmpt securities and proceeded in his usual howery manner to tell how he had feared ghosts as boy and how business feared ghosts to-day 1t was Gore who put in:
 "I merely wish to inquire wheth- CT this resolution contemplates or authorizes tax on ghostsY" When | Ashurst said such tax might be hard to collect, Gore said he meant:
 Tf we could levy q tax or ghosts of departed incomes we could raise abundant revenue. Last winter we indulged in the pastime of levying q phantom tax on phan- tom incomes, and only phantom

In clear. cold type the Hartford Time

In clear cold type the Hartford Times
 Wednesday in its lead editorial said, TT be eyes of the state are on Senator Cooncy, Senator Shea. and Senator Hagearty. Con- neeticut wants 10 know whether they pro. pose to cast their votes for their own and the SpeIacy job deal. or to use them in d staunch effort 10 bring about the enactment of the partys legislative program No one of them can dodge that issue. There is no middle ground . ," To date the senators mentioned above have not deserted the ranks. We sincerely hope they won't, not merely for the sake of the party but for their own sakes as well. Their political fu- ture in the state could extend no further than the immediate future were they found guilty of eonnlvIng to upset the majority vote in the Senate, As the 1 imes puts it the issue is clear before them. We certainly hope that party loyalty will rise above all other considerations. At time like the present it needs to. And if the democratic party is to look for more and greater suc~ ecsses at the polls they can never be achieved through such tactics as are being mentioned in connection with the threatened defection in democratic ranks

 And when Ashurst said Congress must be bold about those secur- ities, Gore tossed this one
 T am glad to see a senator who trembles on 50 many occasions and is so daring, dashing on this occa- sion."
 "Our national wealth and our national debts are just about in balance-we balanced that budget at any rate," the senator says. He objected to imposition of q tariff on pearl buttons from the Philippines on this ground: If we are to violate a princi- pie, let us not do so thus chedbly. | If we are to barter principles for booty, let us demand more booty. Let us not swap our principles for pearl buttons. If we are to accept | the wages of sin, let us demand q high wage, q wage commensurate | with the sin." Gore's flare for the reductio ad absurdum popped out again in de- bate against the proposal to de- base the gold value of the dollar after someone had mentioned the possibility of wheat as medium of exchange and payment
 "The thought flashed through my mind that perhaps we ought to pass law providing that 30 pounds of wheat instead of GO pounds shall constitute bushel Then we would double the number of bushels of wheat in the country and we would have twice as much wheat us we now have. and we could extlngulsh tho grizzled spec ter of famine by legislation such as that"
 In his own way. you see. Sena- tor Gore is q bit. of bad boy.

A Book a Day by BRUCE CATION
Good Start, Poor Finish

When q really good book gets published 6 reviewer can call out inc guard and lead three long cheers; and when 0 really bad ono comes out he can get out hls scalp ing knife and have at it with vim. It Is the book which is neither good or bad that really puts him up tree!
 An example is Mother and Four" by Isabel Wilder.
 This is a novol by the sister of the talented Thornton Wilder, and for some reason it just falls to 5ell. It gets off to an excellent start. Miss Wilder introduces us to the wife of an eastern college profes- sor, The professor has just died, leaving his widow to look after four children, of whom the oldest is 15 and the youngest Is just out of babyhood. Financially, the widow is no better provided for than are most professors wives. The first part of the book, tell ing of the way in which this lone- Iy, grief-stricken woman picks up the threads of life, keeps her fam fly together and supports her chil- dren is really good. The author has brought sympathy, understanding and technical competence to her job.
 But as tho children grow up, and the book tells how each one, in turn, goes out to meet life, the story just sort of unravels. Orig inally clear-cut and distinctive, tho characters become vague and un- real. The action lags, the readers interest founders in q sea of words. and the story, for all it's brave be- ginning, becomes-just another novel.
 Published by Coward -McCann, "Mother and Four" sells for $2.

Here, There And EverwDhere

of Alfred E. smith, which might be mistake from any political angie
 But Al isn't avoiding practical attention. His heart has been bound up in the Empire State building and ho and those associated with him have felt that if q tunnel were constructed under the Hudson ht 38th street 1t would vastly popu- 1arize the location of the building and in time make 1t the heart of a new focal point in Manhattan. So it must have been with satisfaction that Al found that tho emergency public works commission organized by Governor Lehman has arranged to expedite Il loan from tho k. V. c. which would furnish $75. 1000 900 for tho tunnel us self-liquidating project.
 If the Empire State building eventually becomes a great success the Happy Warrior will be quite as well pleased as anything in the realm of politics can please him outside of the presidency Itself.
 But there remains the thought that such e brilliant mind us that of Smith should not be left out in any democra.u, administration of tho present time. He has said he would not accept cabinet position and professes to know nothing of a plan to shunt him into the U. $. senate, where he could serve with distinction and be a credit to demo! cratic leadership.
 It is difficult to believe that, as some dispatches tend to indicate, he Is not interested in anything of a political nature at tho moment. It is less difficult to believe that if the Roosevelt administration ovcrlooks him altogether he will not forget 1t and adopt political policy in the future in accordance with such neglect.

CITY SPLITS CAR FARES
(Merlden Journal)

one of the city of Hartford,s geese that laid golden eggs Is fnll- Ing off in production. This is the so-called Tucker grant under which the city collects c percentage of street car fares in return for the use of the streets. The other less productive goose is the corporation stock tax which, us noted previous ly, has fallen away down.
 The city recently received q check for $25,556.2O from the Con- necticut company representing. two per cent of the gross receipts from street cur fares received in the city limits of Hartford for the year end ing December 3t, 1D32.
 The trolley company reported gross receipts of $1,277,S14.6b for the period. The city in It's budget has estimated It's receipts at $30,- 900. The revenue from this source has been declining for several years. The estimate for 1888 ia S25,000.
 At that. many cities would De glad to receive any sum for the use of the streets.
