In the Race

There is little doubt now in democratic ranks in Connecticut that the state ticket to be drawn up next September will re- semble very much, If not correspond exactly, to that placed before and en- dorsed by the electorate in 1854. Thls was quite evident Wednesday night m ' Hartford when State Chairman J. Francis Smith of this city referred to Governor Cross as "Connecticut institution" and the governor himself spoke of the "lg- nominy" falling upon himself and all democrats if the state is lost to Roose- welt in the fall.
 Coming as this does after the hearty endorsement of Governor Cross and our own Lieutenant Governor Frank Hayes < by Mayor Thomas J. Spellacy of Hartford some days ago, there can be little doubt but what the heads of the democratic ticket are fairly certain of being the same present incumbents. And 1t is doubtful If there will be any change in any posi- ton. Perhaps this will be better de- termined after the spring convention next week when the national committee members are selected.
 We don't think either that democrats are proposing any changes in the present congressional lineup. Speaking for our own district, the fifth, we are confident {. that Representative Joseph Smith of this city, will again be renominated and, with out claiming any second sight, be re- elected. It is hard to sec how republicans of Connecticut can make any impression on the already impregnable democratic fortresses of Connecticut The hullabaloo over the New Deal will have collapsed utterly by November. And while not de- string to make democrats feel the com ing election is over and won for them now, we do think they are justified in cozing confidence in the fact of republi- can braggadocio.

Time Is FIeeting

We wonder how many people know :. that they are liable to fine of $50 If they fail to have their motor vehicle inspected as now required by law. The present period of inspection is well under way in Waterbury, but there is still ample time left in which to take care of this matter. AS Commissioner Michael A. Connor re- ported this week there are 55 working days left in which inspections will be made. This seems like long time, but with the end of the school year approach ling and vacation days at hand too many motorists are apt to keep putting off the < duty until 1t is too late.
 July II is the closing date for the first of the semi-annual inspections this year. Many people question the value of the inspections, but we venture to say that considerable good is accomplished there by. It certainly enables the Motor Vehicle Department to make complete and thor sough check on all registered vehicles, which will show up any inaccuracies or errors in departmental records. Further than that 1t naturally brings to light any glaring mechanical defects that might be direct causes of highway mishaps.
 While majority of motorists might see that their cars are properly serviced and such parts, as lights, brakes, wind shield wiper, etc, kept in state of good working perfection there arc many who through carelessness or oversight would let these little things go and as a result some day this act of negligence might be directly responsible for fatality. It might even result in the death of a driver So you see there is some good to 1t, If mans car is found defective and the necessary repairs ordered. We urge all motorists to subscribe heartily to the tests and to submit to them promptly.

ing for that lack, we might be destroyed by the extra bacterial growth which It would permit.
 As 1t is, the ultraviolet rays coming through keep down the destructive bac- teria. That ozone light-filter seems to be just thick enough to serve the purpose of earthly life. The more science reveals of the complex set of conditions and deli- cate balance of natural forces required for life here on this little old earth, the more we wonder whether there is likely to be, anywhere else in the universe, among all the billions of suns, another place where life might develop.

Various state groups are still talking about diversion of motor taxes. The Grange is the latest to come out publicly in favor of no diversion. They want such taxes for highways only. It makes us wonder just what's back of all this smoke. Is 1t that the state is diverting such funds today in noticeable amounts or that such scheme is planned for the future? The dope seems to be that the 1887 Legisla- ture is going to witness raid on the motor taxes. For what purpose we have not yet learned. With millions more in new taxes available, we can't quite see the need of raiding the prolific motor vehicle department funds.

In New York
Q I@A Mk
By GEORGE ROSS

New York, May 0-Upon receiv. ing the news from Adds Ababa, Little Italy in lower Manhattan was in Q festive uproar while Harlem sulked in gloomy melancholia. To Q passing pedestrian in both sections, 1t still appears as if the war were fought, won and lost on the raIn- parts divided by Broadway.
 Down on Mulberry street, An- tonic, the baker of naraconi, and Maria, the laundress' helper, danced wildly around Q wooden coffin upon which there had been hastily labelled "Selass, King"
 Up on Lenox avenue, haven of the Lindy Hop, the Charleston, Truckin, Cab Galloway and Father Divine, assembled delegates from all over the Afro-Amcrican Methodist association, were depressed about the humiliating defeat of the Ethio- plans.
 In MacDougall street, one of Little Italy's congested thorough fares, flags and bunting flew in Q block party atmosphere. Pictures of Il Duce in garlanded frames decorated the small shopkeepers' windows. Toward dusk, . brief torchlight procession heralded the second night of celebration after the Italians had entered the gates of Addis Ababa. And to show how great was the elation, two barrel ore gans, in violation of 6 city hall edict, tawdrily ground out Q few patriotic melodies.
 At 5ignor uiuseppls steamship ticket agency, where the bulk of business dealt in Is second and third class passages, the proprietor was happy. The rehabilitation of Ethio- pia would lure many Italian -Ameri- cans to the new country. "fl Duce, hc maka good beez-in-ess for mc'' For passage to Ethiopia costs more than Q sea voyage to the home coun- try.

More and more we learn that Congress is swayed this way and that. Never has there been such demand for centennial coins. And most of them will be granted Yet, 1t was only year or so ago that congressional leaders decided 1t was time to put stop to this practice. A dead line was supposed to have been drawn. It must be away off in the future, judg- ing by current news from the Capitol.

A|RP[ANE TRAFFIC
RECORDS BROKEN
Revenue Passenger Miles in
November Set AII.Time
.,
Mark.

The seasonal slump in air transport
tation, which for years has begun late
in the Fall. has been smashed this year
in the face Of the most extraordi-
nary traffic increases In aeronautical
history.
Revenue passenger miles flown by
the domestic airlines during November
were 100 per cent greater than for the
same month last year and constitute
record month for all time In the his
tory of air transportation, 1t Is re-
ported by Edgar s. Gorren, president
Of the Air Transport Association Of
America.
For many months air transport pas
senger, express and mail trafic has
been increasing, establishing one new
monthly record after another.
The tremendous Increase. Gorrell
said, is attributable to improved busi-
ness conditions. new airplanes placed
in service and technical Improvements
which permit completion Of more
schedules than In the past.
The previous peak month for air
transportation was July of this year,
when 40,104,800 revenue passenger
miles were flown, as against A, 16l 900
during November.
The November total represented a 1
per cent increase over October, whereas
in past years there as been decided
falling of from October to November.
Last year the October revenue passen-
ger mile total was 24,750, 800. the total
for November of that year falling on
to 1890 revenue passenger miles.
The increase in airman volume also
has been surprising, 1t was pointed out.
In the fiscal year 1885 there was car
ried l0.775,24S pounds of airmail. In
the fiscal year 1885 the poundage in
creased about so per cent to total Of
l5,377,993 pounds. The Post Office
Department has estimated the total for
the current fiscal year will be about
10000 900 pounds.
During the whole OF 1885 domestic
airlines carried a total of 1892 1897
pounds Of express. During the first
10 months Of this year the total has
been 5,543 900 pounds. In other words,
it was pointed out, the express pounds
carried during the first 10 months Of
this year exceed by IS per cent the
total for the full year of 1895.
