What Doth It Profit?

The Meriden Journal believes that it
profits man to be democratic senator in
the Legislature, especially if that body is
controlled by the democrats. 1t points out
the many positions of honor and response
bility that democratic senator's received at
this session. Notable among them were the
boxing commissionership for Senator Law
lor, the tax department for Senator Hackett
of New Haven. the position of commits
sioner of domestic animals to Senator DIM
ock, city court judgeships for Senator's Dew
lin and Hagearty, county commissioner
ship for Senator Cooney, prosecutors job
for Senator Shea, not to mention the motor
vehicle department job for an ex-senator,
Michael Connor.
The Journal might also have mentioned
the fact that Senator Julius Stremlau of its
own town was the likely candidate of the
democrats of Meriden for mayor this fall.
This position is now held by Representa-
tive Francis T. Maloney who divides his
time DeLWeen Ills DUTIES dL w dSlllHStOu "liH-
Meriden as best he can. He is still mayor of
Merden in name, while Wilbur Castelow.
president of the board of aldermen. is acting
mayor in his absence. Mr. Castelow, dem
oerat might seek the mayoralty but it is
said the bulk of democratic support will be
thrown behind Senator Stremau whose fight
for the old age pension and for labor laws
has marked him in state circles.
But to return to the first topic, namely.
that of patronage to democratic senator's.
In nine cases out of ten the appointment
was more than justified by the worth of the
recipient. Just examining the credentials of
the first three. Senator Lawlor has been
deputy athletic commissioner for some years
now. and is no novice in the sports world.
As for Senator Haekett he was one of New
Haven's best known and most efficient tax
collectors. His knowledge of state finances
is highly regarded even in 6. o. p. circles.

Washington.-F H. Schrenk,
president Of the small North City
Trust company in Philadelphia,
seems to have started something.
Any attempt to organize the 20,-
100000 discontinued depositors in
closed and restricted banks OBJ
viously has possibilities. The pos
sibilities in embryo are seen in the
national depositors' committee, or
ganized by Schrenk and former At
torney General A. Mitchell Palmer,
its counsel, which recently had it's
first meeting here and let out a
loud roar.
Perhaps there aren't 10000, 900
depositors with $8,000,000,000 tied
up in closed and crippled banks,
as Schrenk says there are, but
there certainly are more Of them
than the war veterans, or organized
farmers and organized wage earn
earners. They are largely voters
and seem to be the makings of the
most powerful and sorest lobby
that ever operated in Washington.
The depositors who came here to
demand action insisted that they
were being made the goats of the
new deap' and the strengthening
Of the banking system. Their chief
demands are for a 100 per cent re-
opening Of restricted banks with
government support and a prompt
payoff Of 60 per cent for depositors
in closed banks. These demands
are likely to be heard from now
until something is done.
All Walks Included
The delegates included bankers,
business men, farmers and work
ing people. Many sad tales were
told of folks who had large sums
tied up in banks, but who had been
found starving or were losing their
homes.
A clergyman from Bethlehem
Pa, lamented the fact that after
Herbert Hoover had urged the peo-
pie to have faith and keep their
money In the banks he and many
other ministers had reiterated the
plea from the pulpit, only to have
the government close all banks and

We have heard very few radio cooks in

true. We do know that MIR George Rector.

An Early Spy

Although he did not give up his life for
his country like Nathan Hale, the Revo-
lutionary War spy from Connecticut, Jason
H. Edgerly, New Highlander by birth.
achieved fame and renown by his daring
and success as Union Army spy. In fact.
at the age of 49, he won the nickname
Of The Flea. 1t was conferred on him
so daring was Edgerly, who has just died
by President Lincoln who employed Edgerly
on several dangerous missions Perhaps his
most famous feat was to purloin the Con-
federate Army plans for the battle of Will
low Creek from General Robert E. Lees
headquarters at Richmond. Virginia.
BY eharaeterizing Mr. Edgerly as the flea"
Lincoln unwittinsly gave him misnomer,
for Edgerly was far from flea in looks or
appearance. He was a six-footer and pos
sessed fine carriage. His imposing appear
ance was what first attracted Lincoln to
him. Lincoln was touring New England
at that time campaigning with Stephen A..
Douglas for the presidency. He remem-
bered Edgerly after the war broke out and
the latter entered the service. Despite his
size Edgerly was capable of undertaking the
most dangerous of missions and displayed a
resoureefulness on occasions that would do
credit to the most trained worker in espion-
age.
1t is far cry from those days to the pres
ent with their highly trained government
operatives The spy to-day is as much a
peace-time worker as he is wartime. In
fact confidential agents on government bust
ness of dangerous nature are quite the ae-
eustomed thing. But it is during the battles
din that your real spy can show his mettle.
And it was at these times that Edgerly was
at his best. His death should win for him
some sort of recognition for the department
that undoubtedly was direct outgrowth of
his early deeds.

Current prices on strawberries are so low
at the present time that Connecticut valley
growers are letting them rot in the fields
rather than pay pickers to gather them.
This seems to afford an opportunity for un-
employed and relief councils to get in some
good work, Why not get permission of
the owners of the fields to pick some of the
berries for disposal through their distribu-
ton centers in the cities and towns 1t
seems shameful and wasteful to let the berries
rot on the vines They certainly could be
put to some good use. even though the
growers can't sell them.

CIGARETTES.
Hartford Courant)

\AAoA tAOAa SOoAahtf
Old memories are revived by a
newspaper notice of the death on
Long Island of Miliades Melach-
rinos, a Greek and manufacturer
of a brand of cigarettes that bears
his name. He began the manufac-
ture Of cigarettes in Cairo, later es-
tablishing factory in London and
in 1904 moved the business to New
York. He retired from business
fifteen years ago and, despite the
supposed headlines of cigarettes,
lived longer than do most persons.
Melachrinos may have been sur
prised when he came to the United
States to note how strongly the
goods which he manufactured were
condemned. In 1904 eh found good
men and women going up and down
in the land, and walking to and fro
in it, declaring that the cigarette
was wholly thing of evil an that
its use weakened both the soul
and the body. Women were even
more sure Of this fact were men,
but both men and women were
earnest in their crusade. They were
Sunday schools and Christian En-
oCdVOI oOCACgiCc nulACAS gu SAAGAA va :
rors with q troubled mind.
Then came the World War and
the evils Of the deadly cigarettes
ceased to be topic Of conversa-
ton for Americans did their best
to supply the men at the front and
those in trainig camps with the
things denounced only few years
earlier. At home, men and women
alike smoked when and where they
pleased and as frequently as they
cared to. as they do now, and did
not lose caste by the act. One may
buy cigarette at his will and smoke
them at his pleasure. Any woman
has the same privilege, and she
exercises 1t without exciting adj
verse comment.
One wonders IL Mr. Melachrinos
was conscious of the change in
public sentiment and If he really
appreciated its magnitude, so far
as the United States is concerned.
We fear he did not, not being a
native American, but we doubt II
any other such reversal Of public
sentiment has been witnessed in
this country. An act regarded by
most moralists in 1900 as evil met
with approval thirty years later and
was generally practiced by men
and women alike. Now no one
fears the habit.

Down With The Counties

If Miss Marjorie Cheney of South Man
chester had her way about it all county lines
in Connecticut would be eradieated. In adj
dressing the League of Women Voters con-
vention in New London this week the for
mer legislator declared that they were of no
practical value to-day and hence should be
legislated out of existence. We agree with
her, but what can be done about it? Well
never have Legislature that will approve
of any plan eliminating our eight counties.
SO there we are right back from where we
started.
81 We might say that the elimination of the
county system is as possible as change in
our method of electing state senator's and
Representatives. That's all wrong and every
one knows it is. including the very repre-
senatives and senator's we elect SO dispro-
portionstely. But will they vote to get rid
of their own jobs. They certainly won't.
Our state senatorial districts are out of pro-
portion, but that doesn't worry anybody
up at Hartford Any effort to redistriet is
properly squelehed. We can't get new
congressional district for the same reason
too much politics.
Miss Cheney in the course OF her remarks
said: There is no sense in county lines in
state the size of Connecticut. The eoun-
hes are unequal in size. in population and
in wealth. They do not constitute natural
unit in government and with them we can
never have decent level of performance.
Moreover we have bad system of choosing
our county commissioners. who constitute
the board which administers county govern
ment. A good deal of the trouble with
county government lies in this fact
VA That's fine statement and it is partieu-
larly fine coming from Miss Cheney. Yet
we'll wager that it won't move our legisla-
tors from their present stand. They resent
Interference with the routine of their ways.
We might say at this point, though. that
the weight of disapproval is conferred in the
rural regions and not in the cities and larg-
er towns. The balance of power lying with
the legislators from the country the urban
ties suffer as result. 1t will take some dis
tinet political upheaval for Connecticut or
any other state to abandon its present po-
litical policies with both major parties
standing firmly behind them.

The Closing Years

The third and final volume OF
1.-THE Journal of Arnold Bennett
is out now, covering the years
1921-1928. Like its predecessors, IT
is gossipy and informative, filled
with anecdotes and chit-chat about
the people the novelist saw, the
work he did and the thoughts that
went through his mind during the
last years of his life.
Incidentally, it also gives a pic
ture of a creative artist who was
growing more and more interested
in material success, as reflected In
his sales and his income.
It's an entertaining book to dip
into at random. Do you care to

on the bill taxing Yale's athletic
fields in West Haven should be
permitted. It Is possible that when
the subject Is fairly and deliber-
ately considered. the conclusion
may be reached that athletic events
to which admission Is charged are
not properly educational functions
Of the universities, although It Is
fair to point out that at Yale, az at
most other similar institutions, the
whole income from admissions to
athletic events Is not sufficient to
maintain the general athletic pro-
gram. The Yale Athletic Associa-
ton, like similar organizations ina
other colleges, operates ordinarily
with a large deficit that would be
increased considerably If the ath-
letic plant were taxed and the gen
eral program not reduced.
The matter Of taxing education
al and charitable properties when
they are used for purposes that
are not directly associated with the
primary purposes of the institu-
lions Is open for debate. but the
wisdom of the governors refusal
to sign the substitute for House
Bill 462 cannot fairly be question
ed. Discrimination Of the sort pro-
jected by the bill would be intoler-
able and, even should 1t be main
tanned as legal by the courts, evil
IDENTIFY unfair. The public would
expect any governor, whether or
not he had any connection with
Yale, to act in similar Circumstance
es as Governor Cross has acted.
