The action of the State Police took place too late for our regular edition but we felt that the arrest was of cufficient im- portance to place a special edition upon the streets, a service which was appreciated by, the public judging from t! numbeér of papers sold. The edition reached several thousand and more could have been sold had they been available. It is our plan to keep the public posted when, in our opinion the oc- casion demands, therefore the extra which, we believe adequately “cover- ed” the facts in the case. It is true that we had not interview with the accused but he was ‘“not at home' when we called. We did obtain his lawyer, however. We note that the Courant also trted to obtain an in- terview and so admits its story this motning. Tt . has not presentedy an apology for interviewing or attempting . 4 gto Interview an accused out on bail r " “law, a'man in Greenberg's S0 far. As far as we are concernsd no apologies are necessary. THE GREENBERG ARREST Lasts night's developments in the Richardson-Variola-Glardino “rum running” case,’though scarcely unex- pected was a surprise at least coming, as It did, when public interest in the series of disclosures was decidedly on the wane. It had been freely predicted that Greenberg was to_ b~ arrested— but then it is predicted that others are o receive the same treatment—and for that. reason ‘Was not unexpeected. But Greenberg’s freedom for a lenigth of time had given rise to the suspicion that he might escape from any prose- eution in connecyion with the ring. The holding of the prosecuting at- torney on charges of accepting a bribe is far more serious than appears at first glance. As public prosecutor, as representative of the state in carrying on the trials of offenders against the position " should occupy the highest niche in the local branch of law—entorcing gov- ernment. He should be active, unsullied above even the slightest taint of #ifSpicion an a man of unquestioned honor. Now it comes about that Green- berg has been none of these excepting possibly the “active” and that in the “wrong way. Whether he is guilty or not, and State’s Attorney Aleorn would scarcely proceed against him without conclusive evidence, he is under suspi- cion. No later than the night before last he had uttered a grandiloquent statement to the cffect that he planned to prosecute every dealer who was even suspected of selling liquor. And now it appears that he has been allied with the liquor ring. It is a bitter situation for the city of New Britain to face—we have been his sponsors, he was chosen by a Common Council elected by us, and he is accused of being a crook. ‘We may expect, in the enforcement of an unpopular law, that citizens are going to become corrupt, We may ex- pect the tainting of police officers, we may expect graft. We are, ncarly all of us, prepared to aid them by buying the contraband which they are bring- ing in, at a high and profitable price. So long as the law exists and the thirsts of the unregenerate continne, 80 long will there be graft sadly enough but true. But when it comes to charging graft against the enforcer of the law the end has been reached. Greenberg should be removed from office torthwith by any means in our power, through the Common Council, the mayor or any other source availa- ble, he should not be given a chance to resign. It is too bad—but even if he is innocent he is no man for the position he occupies at the time of this writing, although, later in the day there may be a different story to t And in trying to obtain a man to suc- céed him efforts should not be wasted to choose a two fisted individual, a fighter and a person with not the re- motest connection with any liquor ring, veiled or evident. ALLEN WOULD FIGHT Governor Allen, of Kansas, where bis Tndustrial Court Tas settled many & dispute between capital and Labor, and who should know something about such matters, insists that the Govern- ment shall not “surrender’ to the rafl- road Unions. The idea revolts him. This s his statement to take care of aned “JEST RUMINAT! (Robert Russell.) ‘When mornin’ comes, the clock rings out, you're ready for the Y, But you forgets, things your to say, When you was sittin’ o’er the fire, last night an’ dreamin’ dreams; Things looked far different, last night, from what today they scems. You've missed your car; the day is dark; there's disconcertin’ thought, what you left undone last week; things done you hadn’t ought. The car seems slow; you hardly care; an auto has the boss, The time you lose the trolley gains—you won’'t get any loss— Unless you punch the time clock, then 'twill be docked from out your wage— There's lot o things in this ol’ life to make a fellow rage. Half-heartedly you work along « all mornin’ till, at lunch, You half remembers o' night—your pipe—an’ a hunch Jest takes a-hold o' you an’ says “Get busy; with night come “The thought o' what done today—an’ what left undone. You braces up; courageous thoughts fair fakes a-hold o’ you. That night come strengthened resolutions an’ | ambitions new. perhaps, the dream pipe had o last then ou've ou've Try This On Your Wise F‘rlend It 1s possible to express the number 78 with six severn. Can you do it? Answer to yesterday’s: 36. the situation at present and to contin- ue for all times: “A frightened Congress in 1916 passed a law in three days which prevented a general strike by ab- Ject surrender to the threats of the four American brotherhoods,” he said. “A courageous Congress in this hour in three days pass a Jjust law creating a Federal tribun- al, before which the laboring man might receive justice without warring upon the public.” It was sald gome time ago when the Kansas Industrial court was started that it was really on trial. After a reasonable period election came along. Governor Allen, and all who stood for the Industrial Court, were elected. That shows something of how Kansas people felt about it. But thé people of the country are not all Kansans; they—she other peo- ple—might not be satisfled with the simple, man-to-man justice shown by that court. Many of the people outside of Kansas want more red tape about the settlement of their affairs than obtains in Kansas. So they might not like Governor Allen’s suggestion. But usually Governor Allen, being a man of sound sense, allows most of that sense to get into anything he says and anything he advocates. A TRUE SPORT. Worthy of considerable note is the action of Head Coach Helsman in tak- ing his star end rush from the regular team and placing him, in all humilia- tion. on “the scrubs,” because “‘roughness.” The inmediate cause of this action, stated by the coach, was: “We doa’t want a man on the team who can't control his temper. McMullin did the same thing against Gettysburg and caused a penalty and I warned him that such actions must not be re- peated. He then did the same thing against Swarthmore, 5o I dropped him from the squad. Moreover, I don’t want any sluggers on the team any- way."” In the Swarthmore game the end's roughness is said to have caused a 15- yard penalty at a critical time. There may have been many gcts o: this sort—the reducing of a man to the “scrubs” because of roughness, but there are few instances of such action at hand, especially when the discredited man was a “star.” One hears frequently from members of small colleges, of the intentional roughness that it practiced. They say that the whole team may sef out for a man Intentionally to “put him out of the game' for good and all. But the great institutions one hears none of this, Before one of the sreat games of the season at Yale, the coaches in- structed the men to takc every bit of padding out of their foctball clothes, because the field would be muddy and speed on the part of the players was desired. At such great institutions there has been every effort made to have the players go into a game with all the pep, vim, speed and strength they possess, remembering, as in one case one recalls that there were other men to take their places if they weye irjured. It the instruction to injufe inten- tionally has crept into football—and it Ts beileved it has not generally— it is a sad gamg. At any rate the coach who dropped this star end yush, because of his consistent foul tactics, is to be commended. ° or as in NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALDR THURSDAY, OCTOBER 20, A ROSE AMONG THORNS. Among the unnecessarily unpleas- ant things that are being said about this city, and among the admittedly true things said that do not tend to make her more popular, it is inter- esting to note what the general run people themselves think of New Brit- ain. Take the church folks, for in- stance. If New Britain were the seething den of sin, the place where law and order is so disregarded and where no one is safe—as implied by some of our out-of-town contem- poraries, would church authorities de- cide upon New Britain as the place for holding a conventlon? The authorities ' of the Baptist church have done just this. The an- nual convention will be held here, and those intending to come will en- joy New Britain as it is not as it has been painted. Were . the convention partaking of a “revival meeting” par- agraphers might have sport over the news. But the convention par- takes not of that character. Peace and quiet—a place where solemn judgment as how best to pro- mote the word of God—such a place is refluested. And MNew Britain feels that she will prove as worthy a place for these sacred things as may ' be found in all the state. something Movie proprietors would probably give the $2.000 fine imposed on what lLieadline' calls a *real Bad Mnn“ it they could~use him in plctures. +Jail Sentence for Woman who Stabbed Husband,” headline.

London, Oct. 20.—Thefts of food sup- plies sent to Russia by the American relief administration haye been very small says a letter from Walter Lyman Brown, ' European director of the ad- ministration which is quoted by today's London Times. The letter concerns primarily reports that the Russians took large quantities of supplies sent to Petrograd on board the Danish steam- is presumed e-| ship Phoeénix, and Mr. Brown declares Headlines indicate that the high Jinks are making a determined effort to equal the new altitude record. The same spirit that broke the Hindenberg line is now breaking an- other line for twenty-yard gains. Still, the tongue of gossip couldn’t keep scandal alive except for willing ears.

Louisville, K¥., Oct. 20.—Denuncia- tion of latter day Ku Kluxism was voiced, yesterday by Frederick Acker, of Paducah in his address as grand master of all Kentucky lodges, Free and Accepted Masons, which lodges are in annual state meeting here. “We should stand behind the lezal- ly constituted and elected officers of the nation, state and municipality in seeing that law and order prevail,” he said. - “Any men or body of men who pre- sume to take the law into their own hands are constituted by law a mob and therefore subject to prosecution, Take It In Convenient Tablet Form—Brings Better and Quicker Results than Common Baking Yeast. Thousands of weak, nervous, pale and thin people are now. taking yeast the new way! Instead of eating ordinary baking yeast, which is so disagreeable to many, they are now taking it in plea- ant table form, combined with organic or vegetable iron, Which is necessary in order to get the best benefit from yeast. ‘This great combination of tonics is known as Ironized Yeast. Not only is it more convenient to take than common yeast, but it is far more ef- fective, in Ironized Yeast you get the benefit of two splendid health-build- ers, instead of only one. Furthermore, Ironized Yeast contains highly con- centrated brewer's yeast, which is much richer in vitamines than ordi- nary baking yeast. _ sl LIGHT-SIX TOURING CAR-NOW-$1150 -—h—_——_——“ This is a Studebaker Year Study the LIGHT-SIX feature by feature HIS remarkable light weight six-* cylinder believe the critical owner expects combines all that we in an automobile.
