TIONS what the result POLITICAL IN Trying to surmise of elections {s somewhat like attempting to inter- pret the meaning of the Literary Digest poll on the matter of prohibi- tion a comparatitely votes were cast for repeal of the pro- hibition thus showing that the vast majority of the people | want prohibition in this country. The | wets, on the other hand, point to the great vote made up of those who want modification of the Volstead act and | those who want repeal of the amend- | / ment and insist that the vote shows a dissatisfaction with the present state | of affairs that is overwhelming. | Democrats point to the falling off | of the Republican vote in Maine, as compared with that vote in 1920, zmrl{ say that it indicates a strong tenden- ey to turn to the Democratic part: and old guard republicans point to the vote for Senator Lodge, the person- nfication of the old guard as indicat- {ng that old-fashioned Republicanism in Massachusetts is more than holding its own. Republicans say that the fall- | ing off of the Republican vote in Maine was to be expected: that never again would there come a time when such a revulsion of feeling as that existing against the Wilson regime and which brought the great vote for Harding would bring a similarly large Republican majority. Thus the political interpreter can but use his best judgement, seeing the | possibilities on both sides and follow- | ing the conviction that comes always, one way or the other, to one who is inclined to allow his judgment rather than his prejudices, if he has any to influence his interpretation. To such a one it would seem that, | while as large a Republican vote in Maine as that given Harding was not to be expected, nevertheless the Re- | publican success in that state was by a far smaller margin than was to be | expected by ardent Republicans, even allowing for the natural shrinkage that would come after the Wilsonian tendency had been taught its lesson. The indications are that Maine there is a strong Democratic current, | to be accounted for, quite possibly, by the protest referred by Senator Borah in a recent speech in the Sen- ate. People are not satisfied with af- | fairs at Washington and they are pre- pared to show their dissatisfaction. In our own state, while there have been but small which, nevertheles and nominations means The drys point to the fact that | small number of amendme in to indications in lesser tests . show which way | the wind this trend has been seen. It is confidently expected by Democrats,in this state that this dissatisfaction with the conduct of af- fairs at Washington will be reflected | in the fall elections. As to Senator Lodge, and his suc- cess, it is believed that throughout the country the spirit of progress and the desire to support progressive men is growing. nator Lodge represent progress; he gressive man despite his other fine qualities. But Senator Lodge, in Massachusetts, is a law unto himself, he is not a “candidate for office;” he is an institution. It seems almost like undue familiarity to refer to him as running for office, and the people of Massachusetts feel that w: Of course he must go back to the Sen- | ate say Republicans—and back he will £0 in all probability. Even progressive Republicans hesitate to press their luck by discarding an institution like Benator Lodge and putting up against | & representative of the Democratic | party, which, in Massachusetts has | not such institution, a man who has not over and over again received honors at the hands of the people. FUN AND FASHIONS | There is a phase of (he convention | of the Fashion Art League of Amer- | fca, being held at Chicago, that is of | . real importance. “Well dressed Amer- ican women no longer find sary to go abroad in quest of the latest | modes,” declares the president of the league. “This is of great importance, not only to the fashion artistry of America, but to the American textile “industry.” This, indeed, would be satisfactory “#f it were true, and every honest ef- “fort of the league, or other hody, to But it s feared that as yet this situation does not exist, and that women are ‘still looking to Europe for styles and perfection in the art of costuming. It is blowing, does not | is not a pro- v abaut it. | | | it neeces- | tions and do not follow them Will be an achievement indeed when NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, the league is able to prove that Eur- ope looking to America for thls same perfection and it matter that should interest the most practi- cal who scorn to show interest in “the is is a fushions." There is, of course, the lighter side to the convention where, it is report- ed, it has been decided and announced that the wings of the flapper have been trimmed and that hereafter she will have to walk sedately to her grave, her long-skirted figure giving forth an air of repose, her pink cars showing themselves to the world be- neath a coiffeur of high-piled hair all the more luxuriant, probably, because it was once bobbed in accord with the dictates of the fads of fate. It will be a pleasing sight, for a change, untll to notice how clean the we hegin | streets are, swept up as they will be by the skirts of the long gowns. Then, perhaps, we will begin to wonder if, after all, the very long skirt {s health- ful for the wearer. THOSE LONG HATRED BOYS Many ingenious people have been | trying to devise some way of checking the numbers of those long-haired boys who walk about, stand about, or sit about, about anywhere they want to, waiving their locks in the air every now and then and seeming to say, “Just look at me; admire my hair and envy me. Ain't it grand.” Now comes news that may ald those who wure mean enough or envious enough to wish that an order for compulsory short hair among young men would be issued by a paternal government. The afforesaid news strikes at a large and popular class of young men and there may be mourning in their midst; those of them who affect the night- | cap, worn to keep their long locks in place, will feel especially, hard hit— especially if the skull caps are be- coming. For New York city's deputy health commissioner, Monaghan, has declar- ed that loose hair, tossed back over the head of male purveyors of food | or drink is a menace to the health of of the public. Plainly the worthy health authority intimates that the “loose hair’" which is tossed back— and what handsome youth possessing this luxuriant growth allowed to flour- | ish for weeks at a time without a trimming can resist “‘tossing it back" when some fair girl s looking at him? —often falls in the food or drink which the youth is serving. And said health authority has the temerity to declare that such loose air, in food or drink is not healthful. So, he says, the long haired one must wear head coverings. Let the bobbed hair habit of the flappers and others, if it must go, be adopted by the long-haired boys and the health of the public conserved. SHIRTSLEEVES AND THEATERS Good manners make life just a bit more pleasant for people who enjoy decency. A world made uv of people | who tried to keep as clean as possible would be a more peasant world to live in than one wherein the people made no attempt at cleanliness. A world in which people trlied not to bump into others on the strest, or step on their toes, would be a more pleasant world than one wherein everybody walked just as he or she pleased, re- | gardless of toes and other accessories belonging to other people. A vast majority of the people of the world like decency and decorum. They like to have pleasant thiags ahout them, to see pleasant sights. Certain conventions have adopted as tending to make the world pleasanter. been Certain people laugh at these conven- | Occa- sionally they offend others by making themselves unpleasant, either by loud talk or by carelessness of appearance. | Opinions differ as to what telk is loud or unpleasant, or what is a seemiy at- tire and what is not. One of the conventions universally agreed upon is that men should keep their coats on in public places unless it is s0 hot that the wearing of a coat | is absurd. In the theater, for instance, it is not considered especially good taste for a man to remove his coat. Of course it is ridiculous that should be obliged to wear a costume that women dress otherwise, but such is the con- vention and, unless the weather is es- pecially warm, it s a which makes for added propriety in public places. Some men fall in to the habit of carelessness because no suggestion has men is uncomfortable whan convention been made that such carelessness is | improper. coats Some men remove their the presence of women in public places without even imagining in that they are doing anything out of | men | the way. And some of these would be the last to do anything that would stamp them as ignorant of the ways of people of refinement. It is merely suggested and the statement made on and Dbelfef"” that men in theaters who know what is proper do not remeve their coats. “information INJUNCTION STATUS is well It for those who want to [ get at the truth regarding the respon- sibility or lack of responsibility of organized labor for acts of violence in the railway strike, to read the news of the evidence offered from day to day carefully. Few dispute that strik- ers have committed such acts of vio- Jence and few will say that such acts should not be prohibited in the future and their perpetrators punished where they have been committed in the past. Strikers, therefore, should be restrain- ed from such acts and unions should be restrained from encouraging or in- spiring them, if it is shown they have done so. It would seem to be a per- tinent issue, in regard to restraining acts of union officlals, to show whether or not they have been gullty of such inspiring or such encouragement. Thus far, in reading the events and charges of the aMdavits submitted by the government, but one case of vio- lence on the part of an officlal of the shopmen's union has been noted, and it is doubtful if this act was to be taken as being performed in his of- ficial capacity or as part of a conspir- acy fostered by him as an official, No mistake should be made. The most energetic action should be taken to stop organized violence—to stop all violence. That part of the injunction which will do this should be upheld and enforced strictly. The point at issue now, however, is whether or not there exists a conspiracy to disorgan- ize transportation through violence, and the afidavits, secondary evidence in many cases it is alleged, and indi- rect evidence it s admitted, are being introduced in evidence to show that conspiracy. It will not be until after this evidence being introduced by the government is all in that a decision | as to a modification of the injunction, | if it is granted, will be made or the | motion to grant any permanent {n- junction at all is granted or refused. Meanwhile, it is repeated, it is im- portant for sympathizers with labor | as well as those whose interest tends | in the other direction, to note the evi- dence that is being presented. Facts and Fancies (BY ROBERT QUILLEN), | Too many solid, conservative citl- zens are solid from the ears up. Our idea of zero in praise is to say that the dog has almost human in- telligence. Fine clothes bring little consola- | tion to an overworked wife if they are on her husband. An optimist is one who buys a map purporting to show the final boundar- fes of all countries. It might be worse. The pink and cream suits promised for men this fall are not lace trimmed. 'Mid pleasures and palaces though we may roam, they all close at last and we have to go home. Apparently some people think a careful driver is one who toots his horn to let the train know he is ap- proaching the crossing. | It is easy to forgive an alien any- | thing except his inability to forgive Americans for being here. That fancier who says the dog is now a recognized inmate of our hest | families probably means the hot dog. | Toleration is merely an admission that the other fellow has the inalien- |able right to be as mean as you are. | Bohemianism is merely a method by which artists kid themselves into the | belief that riches are not everything. What use did they have for poor houses in the old days before people tried to keep used cars in running order? | When Nature wishes to make an |ass of a man, she just makes him | pretty and lets the scheme work out by itself. | | | | Civilization is a matter of hiring servants to do the work and then tak- ing exercise to reduce surplus flesh. The world isn't really getting better. It just seems that way because you don't see so many efficiency experts. | A business man says abolishing the | pistol will cripple many industries Especially the Wild West movie in- dustry. | If marriage doesn't refine both his appearance and actions, you may take | it for granted that he is boss in his house. | The most vindictive man in the | world is the one who hopes the grow- | ing masculinity of women will event- | ually grow whiskers on ‘em. | The country s less wicked than the | city for the same reason that the sum of two and two is less than the sum of ten and ten.

TEL. 2453 GIRL AIDS FATHER IN FATAL BATTLE | B 16 Year Old Daughter Takes Part in Knife Fight With Relatives Rockmount, Va., Sept. 13.—Helen Bridges, sixteen, covered with knife wounds, today told how she and her father Lewis Bridges, fought with knives and guns with his brother, Lacey, and brother in law, Posey Shively, and killed them both. The fight took place Saturday. Bridges and his daughter sought shel- ter in the home of a farmer, where their wounds were dressed. Then they made their way to Rockmount, where they told their story. ! The girl said the bodies would be | found beside the road, ahout fifteen miles from here. The sheriff and two deputies found them there. Bridges said the two men attacked him while he and his daughter were travelling along the road. He said | they attempted to stab him, to death. When his daughter went to his assistance, they attacked her too. There was a wound four inches long | across Helen Bridge's left breast. Other wounds were on her right side | and right arm, There is also a deep | gash about three inches long on her neck. i “Lacy Bridges hit my father on the | head with a rock,”” the girl said, “then they pulled knives out of their | pockets and began cutting him.
