When Governor Gross sadly but firmly announced that he was not going to re-sent Publisher Hen- drick in the chair at the Finance Control Board which he had oc- cupled SO long that his buttccks had grown into the wood, there was political hell to pay and no pitch pot. It was bad enough to have the nnpEey bags of Connects cut in the hands of Q lot of dirty democrats but to kick out the lone republican co that he could not even see, bear, or know what was

I would be shocked, not to say mortified, to flnd out ho was the editor. MT. Roraback iS Q smart gasaboo, on able citizen, and Q political boss who Is not af- fiieted with the disease of talking too much to his intimatos at pub- llc gatherings, or to the press. Like the rest of ordinary InortalB he does put his foot in 1t occasion- ally. Witness his characterization of Governor Cross as that "dear old gentleman from Yale" back in 1880 and poSing for his picture with Good old Bill Papo. But as Q rule his head full of brains works overtime. Flo is seldom stupid either In action or cxpreS. sion. Which difforentintos him completely from The Connecticut State Journal.

 Thinking of The Connecticut State Journal logically involved mentioning Publisher Hondrick. Speaking of Publisher Hondrick automatically suggested tho name of Mir. Roraback. And J. Henry'B name called forth the thoughts printed in tho preceding para" graph. So with that out of the way we can got on to our nuttonS. Publisher H0ndriok was for c long time, and until he reused tho slow wrath of Governor Crosa by mak- Ing some fast cracks about Mulley Toby, Q member of the State Board of Finance and Control. The State Board of Finance and control since it has hold of the purse strings pretty well runs tho entire Connecticut shop whether the Assembly B sitting or resting. It can Do made, by reason of It's plenary powers, . powerful factor In preserving and increasing the life and strength of the machine of tho party in oftice. For tho first time within the memory of man the democrats since i03B conAti- ute the Board of Finance and Control. But being democrats they have failed to capitalize the opportunity by initiating the OK. ample set them by the republicans and using the boards potential ities for political profit. Governor Gross did give Publisher Hendrlck of the Connecticut State Journal the air and appointed Vincent l.. Heating Of Bridgeport to the Hen- drick place but Commissioner of Finance Edward r, Hall Q dyed- in-the-wooi republican, was kept on in his e0,40O . year Job. l am not finding fault with Commis- sloner Halls retention. He may be Q financial wizard whose equal could not be found among demo- cratic ranks in the state. I doubt 1t. But can you picture a complete republican beard rec tainlng in ofIlce ct So,l00 . year any democrat # he had the c0In- blned genius of Alexander Hamil- ton, ,.

THAW DOES MUCH DAM
AGE TO THE HIGHWAY

Last weeks thaw has created a
condition on the State highways near
Chestertown that is the worst that has
been experienced in the history OF
hard surfaced roads.
The extreme cold weather had froze
the dirt bed under the nacadam and
concrete slabs to a depth of IA inches
and when the thaw came it softened
this dirt bed and left the slabs almost
suspended in places. The weight OF
heavy trucks broke through these sus-
pended spots completely tearing ur
large sections of road.
This condition has been less serious
in Kent County but in Queen Anne's
and Talbot counties some Of the high
way sections are almost blocked tc
traffic.
Tons and tons of gravel are being

 Curtis political philosophy was of the practical sort.

Usually he could b, found in some out-of- f-theway placc taking it easy.
