not to do so, only because of his former prominence.
 His action, in particular, is a sharp reminder of the pitiable state of affairs to which the Grand Jury investigation put stop.
 The Fairfield County man was. two or three short years ago, the second most important man in the State politically. Indeed, in the in- activity of J. Henry Roraback, the undisputed boss, he became the most important man, far from dis credited in the party organization even though his efforts in the lob- by were well known.
 The extent to which his party recognized him is disclosed by his career. He was of such political importance that in the days of the Eighteenth Amendment he was giv- en the post of Prohibition Admin istrator for Connecticut. Then he was made State Labor Commis- sioner, an office for which he had no qualifications whatever beyond those of the average citizen. Un- der the administration of Governor Cross he was removed to make way for a member of the Governors own party, but place had to be found flor Harry" and he became Federal Labor Commissioner for the State. When Democrats took power in the nation he was given an appointment in the State In- surance Department, still under Re- publican auspices. Again he had no particular qualifications to com- mend him for such post. Nor in- deed were duties assigned to him which required the appointment of anyone especially to take care of them.
 What happened was well recog- nized, namely that he continued to have a State salary and a place at the Capitol from the vantage of which he could watch over the pro- gress of legislation and use his in- fluence where he saw fit.
 Not until the Democrats took over the insurance office was MT. Mackenzie finally eased completely out of the State service. Even then, however, he was not busted from the Capitol. He continued to find office space from which he might function in whatever capa- city he did function in connection with legislation and State activities.
 There was nothing secret about Mrr Mackenzie's importance as a Republican Party man or as a fig- ure influential in legislation. The party had no qualms about it, al- though it was notorious that he and several men who were active when ever controversial legislation was under consideration were not there simply for the fun of 1t or the ben- eft of their health.
 Such was the callousneSs of a great political party and of citizen- ship in general, that there was no revulsion against that situation un- til a Grand Jury actually brought in an indictment.
 That is almost as sad part of the situation as the knowledge that individual men proved weak ves- sels when cupidity and desire for easy gains put them to the test.
 It needs to be felt that not only have the people of Connecticut de- termined that there shall be house. cleaning of some individuals who have infested its public life, but also that citizenship hereafter, shall, it. self, have a higher regard for the responsibilities that go with 1t.

 A major recommendation of the IVA investigators will be to sub- stitute a single administrator for the existing three-man board.
 A majority of the committee be- heveS that more efficient and har- monious direction of the great project would be obtainable from a single administrative head. While the present two directors, Dr. Harcourt Morgan and David Lilienhal, tge along amicably, the congressman feel there is noth- ing to prevent the outbreak of new dissension in the future.
 The majority report of the committee will also reject the charges of Arthur Morgan, oust- ed IVA chairman, against his two former colleagues. Morgan made a very sour impression on most of the investigators, and their report will reflect that feeling.
 NOTE-Francis Riddle, coun- sel for the committee and chair man of the original Labor Rela- tions Board, is high on the list of possibilities to succeed Solicit tor General Robert Jackson if the latter is named attorney gen. eral.
 Electric RaZOrS
 The hot price war among cleo tric razor manufacturers is being closely eyed by the monopoly prob CTS. The Justice Department is making an Investigation of the patent phase of this battle. If eer- tain reports received by authori- ties pan out, the warning manu- lecturers will be put on the witt ness stand for public quizzing. Costly Bedbug
 The U. s. Bureau of Prisons makes 8 fetish of cleanliness in federal institutions. It is very proud of its record in keeping them spotless. When the New Orleans penitentiary was opened several years ago the superinten- dent offered to pay $1 for every bedbug found by an inmate.
 The bounty was never claimed until the other day, when a pris- oner turned in one of the pesky creatures. But his reward was the smallest cost of the episode. Dis dressed officials ordered every cot and piece of bedding in the prison deloused at a cost of sev- eral thousand dollars.

Selected Poem
PERFECT LIKE THE NIGHT
(Marjorie Leichner in the Poets Column, Hartford Collrant)

darCIord COurart) The one love is perfect like the night When moonlight silvers leaves on silver trees. And land and sky, and mountain and sea delight This beauty-loving soul of mine for in these AI-perfect things-a ring of stars full-bright In Star-sown sky, cool moonbeams on the leas, host of glow-worms in the midnight blue In these glory: They are comedy as you Because my love is whole, unshapely things Distress my soul. Ungainly things are small And mean to one who loves king of king: I loathe the crowds who watch a curbside brawl. The cries of men in pain, the broken wings Of baby birds, the newsboys raucous call The forms of death, the angry waters flow, And all the ugly wretched things know. That perfect symmetry which Plato sought Cannot be found on earth where war, and cold White hate, money mistrust, and lust are caught In the ways of life Beloved, long to mould The world anew, to build as Plato taught An earth where truth and beauty and good take hold When I have shaped the things of earth again, We shall find eternal peace, but not till then.

In New York
BY GEORGE ROSS

New York, Dec. 9-You hear 6 lot of sentimental slosh about the slogan, "The Show Must Go On but there are times when that phrase denotes grim command. We have seen more than the usual courage evidenced by performers amidst personal tragedy, this season
 The other week, cheerful Ben- ny Fields who sings eloquent bal lads, was walking downstairs to the stage at the Casa Manana to take his cue. As he swaggered into the wings he was handed 8 telegram Opening it, he read that his brother had died suddenly. The band struck up an entrance chord.
 Fields tucked the wire into his pocket and stepped out into the spotlight He sang for almost a half hour and gave no hint of his distress. Then he walked silently back to his dressing room.
 A few weeks ago. while Sylvia Field was acting in a Manhattan suburb, she learned by telephone of her husbands death after a long illness. The manager came in to condole with the bereaved actress and said that he would cancel the nights performance. You can't" said Miss Field, you can't stop the show" She ap- peared with the company that night.
 A few Fridays ago, at the height of the Broadway revue, Sing Out the News" comedy Mary Jane Walsh was appraised of the death of her grandmother to whom she had been dearly devot- ed all her life. She went through the performance. The funeral was taking place the next day in the middle west.
 Her friends phoned the airport and chartered a plane for Miss Walsh. She flew there and back and was in "Sing Out the News again the following night, after skipping only matinee.
 Actors First Duty
 We could cite other heroic cases. 'The Show Must Go On" is sacred motto in the world of foot lights. When one, ticket has been sold at the box office, the actors first responsibility is to the pur- chaser. Neither personal tragedy nor sorrow can deter him from it.
 
 
 Several years ago, Katherine Cornell was on tour of the United States and while her spe- cial train careened around bends in Colorado toward her destina- ton, a blizzard. rose abruptly.
 She was to have appeared in a Colorado town at half-past eight that evening, but the tracks were snowbound and the train was stalled while a relief train plowed through from the opposite direc- tion.
 Finally her train crawled through the storm and arrived in the city at three o'clock in the morning. Half the audience was at the station to greet the exhausted actress. She made her decision.
 Ordering the van men to move the scenery to the theater, she commanded her cast to prepare for a performance. At 4 a. m. the show began, and when 1t was over at 2 o'clock in the morning, the audience detained the actress until eight with repeated ovations. She was due in another city that night, but she had promised this one a show and she was not going to dis oppoint it.

Ing agencies and advertising media

Ing agencies and advertising media
will recognize that there are times
when advertising does have this
effect. However, it is one thing
to recognize that advertising may
be Of such a character or may be
so used as TO be economically HARM
full: it is quite another to jump to
the conclusion that governmental
restriction is the appropriate means
for curtailing this sort of advertising.
Our release was not intended to
intimate any such conclusion. 80
I'm my judgment, sound adver-
tising is creative effort, and would
not be an appropriate subject for
coercive regulation. Even when the
economic validity of its use is ques-
tionable, the situation will ordinarily
contain too many intangibles and
variables to warrant any rule of

Thurman Arnold, Assistant At

Antitrust Division, said Yesterday
the Justice Department had no in

r. E. Elliott, associate editor of

crate on statements the department
had made regarding advertising in
connection with the Ford and
Chrysler antitrust cases.
Mr.. Elliott referred particularly
to this assertion:
Monopoly is fostered when adver-

a disadvantage for the sole reason
that they do not have resources
sufficient to expend equally large
sums in advertising particular
products or the services of particular
companies"

Crippled Children S.
Glass Proposal Up
Before Board
Junior High Instruction
Contemplated in Plan
Of Committee

The Board of Education TODAY
will consider proposal of its Com
mittee on physically handicapped
children to establish a special class
for crippled children at the Langley
Junior High School.
The children would be graduates
of the Langdon School for Crippled
Children thought capable of profit
ing from education on higher levels
and needing a certain amount of
medical treatment.
At Langley, it was pointed out at
meeting of the committee last
night in the Franklin School, the
children could also have the advan-
tage of senior high instruction from
nearby Mckinley High School.
While this class at Langley would
be only for the white children, the
committee also planned to consider
the establishment of a similar class
in colored junior high for grad
uates of the Anthony Bowen School
for Colored Crippled Children when
sufficient information can be gath
cred on the need.
Seek Budget Action.
Should the board approve the rec
ommendation of its committee, 1t
may decide to introduce an item
covering equipment for the class in
the school budget now before the
Budget Bureau. The final hearing
on the school estimates has been
postponed until tomorrow. Even in
the case of an appropriation for
such class, however, the funds
would not be available until July l,
1899.
DR.. Joseph A. Murphy. chief med
ical inspector of the public schools,
pointed out that the equipment
needed for the Langley classes
would be minimum and could be
transferred to a permanent school
for crippled children should this be
made available.
At the same time some of the
statistics presented to the commit
tee were questioned by DR.. A. Bark
lie Coulter. DR.. Coulter said he
had Investigated II cases listed
where the children were excluded
from school because Of tubercular
condition. He said he found three
of them married and with children
of their own and two others mar
ried and out of town. Nine of the
IL were over 16 years of age, he
added.
Claims Eirures Incnrrect
Taking up the w. P. A. visiting
teacher project now about to be
started, DR.. Coulter contended that
the proposed two teachers for 40
children in the pediatric ward at
Freedmen's Hospital was incorrect.
He said he had been told at the
hospital that not more than 20
children at the most would be there.
I'VE have a definite problem
here" he said, but don't think it S
understandable to any one"
Miss Betty C. Wright, executive
director of the American Society
for the Hard of Hearing. outlined
the work being done in the Curtis
School in lip-reading instruction.
The work is done under the auspices
of her group but should be part
of the school system, she said.
The committee decided to meet
once a month, to appoint sub
committee to draw up reports and
to consider taking trips to the va
rious institutions providing for the
physically handicapped to see what
is being done.
The next session was planned
for December II on suggestion of
Mrs. Henry Grattan Doyle. chair
man of the committee and presi-
dent of the school board.
