CUMMING'S CANDIDACY. After a visit to Washington, where he conferred with Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo, Postmaster Burle- son and other democratic leaders, the impression has gone abroad that in all probability Homer S. Cummings, vice chairman of the democratic commit- tee, Will next year be the democratic nominee for United States senator from Connecticut. i This will not be news to many in Connecticut who all along have been waiting for Mr. Cummings to nounce his candidacy. But those of his supporters who want him to make the race will hail with joy any inti- mation that he is going out in the political arena and engage in the struggle. There is some doubt just yet whether he is strong enough to unhorse Senator George McLean. But everything points to favorable condi- tions for the Democratic Kknight.. True, the events of one year may spoil all his prospects. As a loyal follower of President Wilson the strength of Mr. Cummings should be increased. The president and his party are very popular in Connecticut just at the present writing. Never in .the history of the state have in- dustrial conditions been better. There is work for all hands, and every body is working with the exception of those who voluntarily quit their tasks because of strikes. an- A wave of pros- perity is passing over the state such as would tend to brighten things up for any democrat of the calibre of Mr. Cummings who would choose to make the. race against the Hon. George Payne McLean. FORDS OF THE OCEAN, One Henry Ford, philanthropist and resident of Detroit, has come in for a lot of ridicule because of his ad- vocacy of the *“fish boat,” a toy sub- marine. The Jokesmiths having flayed Mr. Ford for infesting the will welcome this chance of getting him “at sea.” Rut, before it is all over, Mr. Ford may be the one to laugh. When he advanced his first ideas about .m.ctor cars he was not taken scriously. In the end, however, he proved he was right and as-a re- sult the automobile industry has been completely revolutionized at his hands. As it wae with land transpor- tation facilities, why can it not be with sea-going craft? Despatches from, Washington today are to the ef- fect that naval cfficials who were at first inclined to laugh at Mr. Ford’'s radical ideas are now beginning to take Wim seriously. He contends it is possible ‘“wq build a one-four‘h the size of those now use that could carry a pin at the end of a pole with sufficient explosive to heist the mightiest dread- nought ever built out of the sea.” Mr. Ford has a homely way of expressing himself. It was that happy, or un- happy, phrase ‘“ a pin at the end of a pole” that acted as the magnet which atiracted all the shafts of ironical ridicule. Had lie dressed that thought in pretiler language the entire idea might have more cordial treatment from the ecritics. At first National preparedness, Mr. Ford, after some persuasion is going to Washing- ton this weck to show the Navy De- submarine in power received opposed to anything like with the $15,000,000 usually spent on on¢ superdreadnought. If they listen to the wonderful genius of the Mid- dle west and let him have his way he might build up a “mosquito fleet” of submarines thst will be to the high seas what his already popular tin We shall sit and complacentily await the Fords of the ocean. BACK TO '98. Another ten-strike has been made by the state department, under the guidance of Secretary Lansing, in nailing as an absolute mendacium the assertion made by propagandists that the United States during the Spanish war requested Germany not to send arms to Spain. A search of the records of the state department failed tc show any such evidence. The de- partment never considered . such a step, Berlin was not approached, nor was the shipment of arms and mu- ritions of war from Germany to Spain interrupted during 1897-98. And at that time Germany was on most triendly terms with the United States. Just why the American government éid not want to embarrass Berlin with such a request is made manifest by this point, brought out by state de- reassn in going about iti partment officialsi— It has always land with a peculiar kind of vehicle{ rartment what he could, or would, do ; recognized the shipment of contra- pand goods as a part of legitimate in- dividual trade and of no concern to a government. 3 In view of the present hubbub be- ing raised anent the shipment of arms and ammumitions = from this country to some of the belligerents, it is fortunate ourshirt sleeved states- men of '98 set so sound a precedent. They took the time-honored position that no government should be em- barrassed with a request that could rot be based upon .any rule of inter- national law.

Unequal Rights. (New Haven Journal Courier-) The supreme court of thg state of Oregon has affirmed the constitution- ality of the Sunday closing law. In upholding the law all material in- dulgences are unlawful save ‘“thea- ters, drug stores, physicians' office: livery stables, meat markets, baker- ies or undertaking estabiishments.” One is tempted to rub one’s eyes to be ‘sure one is in the land of equal rights and opportunities after this formal revelation of discriminatory concessions, If a layman zan be trusted to con-; sider a court decision of this charac- { ter he finds himself forced to con- sider as probably constitutional In the state of Oregon and indulgence toward which a majority of the peo- ple appear to be inclined. All that the community has got to do is to pitch in and indulge at pleasure, and then the court will decide, as it did in the casec of the theater, that it is necessary as affording needed men- tal diversion. This is Oregon's for- mal way of doing what this section of the country has been doing infor- mally for years. It is well known that in the state of Connecticut, for example, it is practically impossible for a citizen to pass Sunday without violating the Sunday observance laws, not that he wants to, but that if he | strays a foot from the old Puritan | sraight and narrow path he runs into danger. One of the real reasons why Con- necticut has hesitated to meet a Sua- day observance law that might cover the situation is the fear that the dis- advantages of such a law, for example as the Oregon law, would out-balance | the advantages of letting progre:s along normal lines find its own level. Connecticut has gone a long distan:e from the standards of the Puritauns and practically ithis advance has been secured without legislative assistance. It would seem, after all, that the in- vestment of discretionary power in prosecuting agents would in the long run best meet the situation. Then public opinion, the only safe guide to what s best and proper, would be, as it should be, in full control. The Oregon method would never suit the { prior to 1912 and was only slightly McMILLAN’S NEW BRITAIN’S BUSIEST BIG STORE “ALWAYS RELIABLE” Linen Week A Six Day Offering of .
