MORE LIBERAL
COURT SEEN
BY BERRY
Change in Philosophy
Forecast in Address
at Tampa Meeting
BY EDWARD b. LOCKETT

TAMPA, Fla, Nov. 18 0N.SD.
A public prediction that the Su.
preme Court would change its pres.
ent philosophy in favor of liberal
legislation" was made at the Ameri.
can Federation of Labor meeting
here today by Major George L.
Berry, Federal industrial coordi-
nator for President Roosevelt.
Unless this change occurs Berry
bluntly predicted that I'VE will
find a way" He added that the
Council for Industrial Progress,
which he heads, will contribute
generously in helping to find a
way"
Predicts Change
He recalled that the court, as
now constituted, has reversed
much of President Roosevelt'S
liberal legislation" but declared
that now that the people of the
nation have spoken in the Presi-
dents tremendous victory early
this month, the court will change.
He Said
II feel that the mandate Of
the people has measured up to
the Stone philosophy, and that
the Supreme Court will recog.
nize the overwhelming determi.
nation of the people not only
to establish, but to maintain,
liberalism.
81 hope and feel that the
court will adjust itself to the
great overwhelming mandate
expressed by the A erican
people.
eff, of course, there should be
further reverSalS of the now evil
dent sentiment of the people, I
venture this prediction:
eve will find way.
"And feel that the Council
for Industrial Progress will con-
tribute generously in helping to
find that way"
PRAISE FOR STONE
Berry referred again and again
to the fine philosophy" of Mr..
Justice Stone, whose decisions
have been in line with a liberal
minority in the many five-to-four
decisions invalidating legislation Of
the Roosevelt administration.

Railroad reports rolling in lately seem to prove to the satisfaction of the rail- roads themselves that their fears of lower passenger fares were unfounded. Most of the eastern lines, when drastic cuts were ordered by the Interstate Commerce Commission protested vigorously, main- taining that even if such reductions had proved profitable in the West and South, they wouldn't work under eastern condi- tionS.
 The New York Central revealed the other day that its passenger revenues in- creased 20 per cent in July compared with the same month last year. The Bal timore and Ohio and the New York, New Haven and Hartford had previously re- ported gains of p and IS per cent re- spectively for July. The fare cuts amount ed, on the average, to more than ore- third of the rates prevailing in recent years.
 The most striking comment observed on this subject is that of Carl R. Gray, president of the Union Pacific, whose company's passenger revenues gained 48 per cent in July. He says: we have found out that there is an almost inex- haustible market in the field of the coach passenger. Before the low rates were put VI VAAC Ro00V4A6SA NVHO4 O@AASAAVS had given up this class of travel as lost to the omnibuses They were suffering from a defeatist psychology. But, the situ- ation is entirely changed now The pass enger departments have their teeth in something today, and they are not going to let loose. Result of promotion to stimulate the low-fare travel have been better than even the most optimistic of us expected"
 This experience naturally sets people to wondering whether the economic prin- ciple involved couldn't be applied in many other public services, and indeed to prices in general, to the advantage of business itself as well as the public. In the great majority of goods and services sold, every price reduction taps new level of buyers and broadens the demand. Many small profits are usually better than few large ones. The lessen mutely taught for SO long by the Woolworth building in New York is not yet learned.
 It may be largely in this way that we shall realize the Gospel of Plenty as against the Gospel of Scarcity And this same broadening of the basic demand by daring price reductions may Eet prove to be the best defense against (buSiness de- pEessior,

Who's To Succeed?

{ Of just as much importance to repub- licanS of this state as the selection of a state ticket, strong enough to give the democrats battle in November, is the selection of new party chairman who can carry on where J. Henry Roraback seems destined to leave off. It seems to be almost taken for granted now that the once-powerful head of the party will be forced by ill health to relinquish his du- ties and to sever all connections with political life in Connecticut. The party will miss his presence and his guidance; 1t will find it difficult to se- cure chairman who can prove as suc- cessful and acceptable as he was. But there are candidates for the post of state chairman in republican ranks, even if nothing has been said about re- placing MT. Roraback at the coming state convention, which he will miss, so we read in the newspapers and which prob ably will be the first that he has missed since he gained control of the party reins a decade or more ago. Of recent years he has had numerous ambitious and aspir- ing lieutenants upon whom he depended for many duties which he was unable to perform or preferred to entrust to others. They were advantageously placed through the state government several years back but the inroads of democrats have necessitated many changes in the former order of things and it has been a wise republican sub-boss who could main- tain his hold on party reins as well as a iob.. One of those who has been so Sortu- nate is Harry Mackenzie of Fairfield county. If ever the time was ripe for the astute and energetic MT. Mackenzie to launch his effort for the chairmanship, this surely is the time
 There are others, too, biding their time and trusting that when factional differ ences have reared their ugly heads they may be spared the ignominy of suffering loss of prestige and may emerge com promise candidates. Coming as this does on the eve of convention it does not promise too much for the chances of the party next November. Much will depend on the gubernatorial candidate in the matter of naming state chairman, if this distasteful task is actually done at this time. .e

What? In Again?

According to the United Press there will be an effort on the part of the Anti-So- loon League to inject alcohol into the coming national elections. That must have been apparent some time ago, for the w. c. T. U. sounded the tocsin early in the summer with an attack on the present set-up. If the dry organizations wish to carry the fight for temperance and abolition into the several states we have no complaint. It is in the states that the fight should be waged and not in the nation.
 We can't afford to make the mistake again of putting into the constitution any such amendment as the 18th. The crimes that were committed in its name would fill more than one large book of extremely large pages The situation today in the United States with regard to the liquor question may not be called settled It isn't by any means. A good many states experimented with statutes and found that what they thought was good for them actually wasn't. Changes are certainly in order.
 But the right to manufacture, sell, and import liquors has not caused such catas- trophic changes in the nation as to de- mand another switch to prohibition. Far from it. In another five-year period the question of liquor is going to be relegated far to the background. There still will be differences of opinion on how liquor laws should be administered and which are the best for various states. To the end of general satisfaction we urge more and more conferences and congresses of those interested in the liquor situation-manu- lecturers, importers, retail and wholesale dealers, consumers, and legislators to the end that we may have peace all around.

Connecticut Doing Good Job of Boosting About Herself Now That State Publicity
 Commission has Gone to Work.
Manchester Herald

Every experienced merchandiser, every experienced advertiser and, for that matter, every experienced observer of business generally un- drstands quite well that there are three distinctive situations in the broad problem of advancing busi- ness activity through publicity There Is the situation where the business man has an eriinently de- sirable something to tell but fails to let the fact be known because he fails to advertise 1t; there is the situation where he advertises exten- sively but has nothing to sell that will justify his publicity; there t the situation where he has an ad. mirable commodity or commodities and spureads the news widely through ample and convincing ad. vertising.
 Everyone knows which of these situations is most likely to crystal ize into success and prosieryt.
 The Connecticut Publicity com missino, whose duty is to take this state out of the first named situa- ton and land 1t in the last-named has been donig, we take 1t, . rather amazing job when 1t is remembered that 1t started of under the handi. cap which has paralyzed many . potential advertising carapaign-the lack of money with which to pay fire the advertising. st " The commission has been tinanc- ing It's own efforts through the sale of those. beautiful blue stamp! which the cooperation of many oi Connecticut's biggest industrial anc business concerns has made familiar attached to outgoing Connecticut mall, throughout the country. Un- afraid, 1t has included in its pro- gram the impressive "Connecticut train" which with the cooperation of the state chamber of commerce. and the Connecticut Manufactur- CTS Association, is about to toul eighteen states of the Union for the purpose of bringing this state ant It's products more, intimately into the klowedge of 8 large part of the American people.
 Only the heartiest approval car be given to the Commissions con. ception that the most important step to be taken in establishing Connecticut in the place in the ma tional consciousness to which 1t t entitled is to bring that realization home to Connecticut people them selves.

JASPER HAS GREATER STATE
 STRENGTH
(Meriden Journal)

Jasper McLevy, prominent so- cialist and 58-lear-old roofer, who seems to have a strangle hold on the Bridgeport mayoral office, is cx- pected to head the state ticket of his party for the fourth consecutive time. Jasper does not expect to be elected governor, though he probab- ly never expected to be elcted mayor but he will run to help send Bridge ports three socialist state senators back to Hartford.
 This political development places republican bigwigs who are quite friendly with Jasper's boys and have the mot thank for state patronage distributed at the last legislative session. They are calculating on Jasper drawing from the democrats in the coming election and feel sure that he will carry Bridgeport, which is called normally democratic. Last November he was reelected by a record plurality of almost 14,0oo votes and apparently he has not disappointed the voters. He has
 wrangled many concessions from the state, saving his taxpayers an esti- mated S500,000 year, and has es- abolished Q civil service system, among other things. He Is not in the good graces of the redhot socialists.

 There are in this Union states and areas famous for this, that or the other advantage, whose actual su- periority over many another state in those particular relations, lies al- most entirely in the exuberant en- thusiasm of their own inhabitants.

The smashing attack that local, state, and federal authorities are making on the vice ring that is so active in eastern United States is worthy of much com mendation. We only hope that the au- thorities are able to smash the ring so that it can never be formed again. And one sure way of doing that is to ostra- cize for all time good many of the men and women who are at the head of these nefarious operations. It is being brought to light that number of aliens have operated successfully in this business. It is high time that Uncle Sam cracked down on such individuals and shipped them out of the country. This is the land of the free and the home of the brave, but that covers a multitude ot sins for which many of us don't like to feel responsible Those who transgress as well as trespass on our hospitality deserve all that can be given them.

New England is going to make su- preme effort this year to entertain sum- Iner visitors all during September and October. As 8 matter of fact we think that 1t would be very easy to make these two months as much part of per- sons vacation time as July and August. Of course we don't mean people with families, for children must go to school and parents want to be home when they are going off every day. But for those who are not bound by such ties October and September in New England open up new vistas. Everything, even swimming ing, that can be enjoyed in July and August is still possible.
