In the Democratic platform adopt- ed at the New York State convention "8 a plank which reads, after a short preamble, “We insist upon Congress enacting such modifications of the Volstead act as shall legalize with the approval of the people of this state the sale of beer and light wines under such careful restrictions as were im- posed by the law passed. in New York 4n 1920." This lawi passed in New York in 1920, declared for 2.75 per- cent. beer and light wine, This plank did not satisfy the “wets”” at the convention the “drys”. The former wanted a more drastic plan while the opposed to any hint at favoring even the £.75 percent. beer and the light wines. The plank as quoted was the compromise. But it brought great joy to the delegates assembled. That plank will an issue whiéh will overshadow all others in the New York campaign. A popular Democrat is arrayed against a Governor, said by Republicans to be the best the state has had in many years, perhaps ever. But ities will be forgotten, and records will become comparatively unimpor- tant to many in the importance that will be attached to the “wet” plank adopted. In it those who are eager for a return of beer and light wines, inspired by desire for gratification or an honest belief that strict prohibition is harmful, wili 2.75 percent. beer. see a letting down of re- nor latter were make State personal- a personal by see more than the They will strictions which, they argue, hamper liberty, deprive of harmless pleasure, and make for general lawlessness. The enthusiastic prohibitienists, on ““the other hand, will see the breaking down of the barriers against license which they have fought so hard to eract.” All other questions will sink in importance in their minds. And a real test will come in New York state which will decide the election, it is believed. There is some significance in the formation of anti-prohibition organi- zations all over the country. But they have no such significance as has sthis official recognition by one of the great parties in the Empire state of the general discontent felt with the * Volstead law as it is enforced in that state, The party stands to lose all or . gain by its action. The election will be of tremendous national interest. THE CLAYTON CROSSING. Those who have worked hard for the elimination of the Clayton Crossing may be pardoned a feeling of elation this morning over the news that the public utilities commission has promised that it will be the first crossing under its juris- diction to be abolished. Many dis- couragements come to people who realize the ineffectiveness of their endeavors to accomplish things worth while and each fresh discouragement is emphasized by repetition. When, therefore, there comes some concrete result of attempts to give publicity to the dangers attendant upon a dan- gerous crossing, instance, those results should be emphasized in order that new courage may be gained for new attempts in other directions where work is needed to make the facts so evident that relief will come. Those who have done their best to call the conditions at this crossing to the attention of the public util- ities commission trust that the prom- ise of the commission will be followed shortly by action which will eliminate one of life's needless dangers. dangerous for JURISDICTION OF SCHOOLS. The effect of a decision of a judge of the court of common pleas in New Haven is to hold that full juris- dietion of schools rests with the school board. The matter of whether or not such school board has a right to bar a child who has not been vac- cinated, remains undecided. A hear- ing Will pe held which will involve the merits of that matter next Friday. ' | The case came up on the question as to whether or not a &chool should ‘b compelled to admit a child who /had not been vaccinated. Thedawyer for the school board argues that ; -sttendance at school is a child's privi- lege and is not a right which may »n_n‘_t be taken from him by properly constituted authorities. Were that attendance an inalienable right, of course, the barring him from school | would The such be otherwise justified i not case would bhe attend- ance were merely a privilege When the decision is made it will rest finding of the school board to the children upon of the power to make arbitrary admission exclu- the quite aside rules as or sion sehools.

It is easy to feel fervently an ““Amen" to a prayer that there will come no repetition of the story of persecution of the Christlans in that part of the country. It is not difficult to under- stand how a person may say, on the impulse of the moment, that the United States should have a great army of men over there to prevent the happening of such awful sacres as those which may come. And then one turns to the account of the death of a young man here just the other day. He early in the war. He saw much serv- ice at the front. He was gassed and sent back from the lines. For five years he fought for life. There was peace in this country; people were forgetting the war. But the war was taking his life from him and at last the fight was lost. He died. his death was no more sad than the death of thousands of others. His fight against the effects of his days at the front was known; suffering was known. But the terrible signifi- cance of it all is that there are other young men going about the streets today whose suffering is not known Their first injury at the front was not severe enough to disable them, per- haps. They stayed and fought on as this young man was not allowed to do. But the awful war had stamped them and the wounds have not healed today though perhaps they them- selves, even, do not know what makes thought, work, life so hard. Their friends do not know; their employers do not think of the war at all in con- nection with them, They, the friends and employers and relatives, see only that “Jim isn't getting on very well, somehow.” Yet “Jim", consciously or unconsciously is fighting just as that young man who died the other day was fighting, only in a lesser degree for the first injury seemed to have been less serious. They, those partially disabled, those who are still suffering from the effects of the war but whose condition is not appre- clated—they are the ones whose stories are the most pitiful of all. mas- volunteered Perhaps his MISSED OPPORTUNITIES. The weather of the suggests, strangely enough, the trag- edy o‘ missed opportunities. There is little use, indeed, in sighing for the past and longing to have those chances to “get on"” come again. It gets no one anywhere to sigh and regret that mature wisdom in youth did not come to point out the folly cf missing chances that would result in big dividends later in life. Days spent in dwelling on the past are days‘ of present stagnation. But there is some use in determin- ing to take advantage of the present. | No one wants to fell remorseful this coming winter that the glorious days of the fall were wasted.

An experienced married man knows On the City THE OBSER VER - Makes Random Observations and Its' People 'L Now that the democrats and re- publicans have nominated their can- didates for congress one of the most exciting periods of the fall is at an end. There was little doubt that Congressman Fenn would be renom- inated although it is possible that if the republican party were more con- fident of victory in November he might have been supplanted. The fact that there was no attempt to name someone in his stead is an in- dication that the party was desirous of harmony, first of all. Mr. Fenn is not very well known through the district, despite the fact that he has served a term at Wash- ington. He has mixed with his con- stituents very little. His health was not of the best during part of his term and this may account to some extent for the fact that he was not prominent in affairs at Washington. Mr. Fenn voted with the conservative wing of the republican party on all matter of importance. Mr. Dutton of Bristol, nominee the democratic party, has this vantage over his republican rival: He is well known throughout the dis- trict and has many personal friends who will appoint themselves com- mittees of one to work for his suc- cess. Mr. Dutton is a man of the people, as someone pointed out on the day of his election. He has always mingled with the people because fate willed that he should be cast in life with the multitudes rather than with the classes. He is familiar with man- ufacturers’ problems and he can talk to the man whose living comes out of the acres he tills. On a straight out and out contest between all-time re- publicans and all-time democrats Mr. Dutton may be defeated.. But in a contest which is not determined by adherence to party affillations, he should have a splendid chance of be- ing elected by a comfortable, although not large, margin. The Observer overheard a remark yesterday which seemed to tell the whole truth in a few words. It was this: *““If all the people who like Joe Dutton vote for him, he is as good as elected.” « s o0 Democrats are confident that they will carry Hartford county by a rea- sonable plurality this fall. They have candidates in the three principal cen- ters of population in the county, Hart- ford, New Britain and Bristol and ex- press the opinion that the large votes they will receive in these three places will offset any normal republican pluralities rolled up in the more sparsely settled districts, which are of ad- when his wife calls him Honey that he is about to get stung.

Mrs. Frederick W. Latham of Brooklyn, N. Y. formerly of this town, is visiting her rélatives on West Main street, for a short time. The Y. M. T. A. and B. society is preparing for a fair to be held soon and a chorus of 38 voices is holding rehearsals preparing for the event. A gala time will be held at White always counted as republican props. “Tom" Spellacy, a Hartford man, is running for U. S. senator. He and Mayor Kinsella, driving tandem, should be able to turn in a big sweep at the polls. It will be recalled that Mayor Kinsella's last election was in the form of a testimonial from the people of Hartford who gave him the biggest total any candidate for mayor of that city had ever received. He is heart and soul in the fight to elect Spellacy and his popularity, combined with Spellacy's personul following in Hartford, is being depended upon as a big factor. New Britain democrats say they will return a good working margin for Mayor Paopessa. He is counting for his greatest support on the fifth and sixth wards. In the latter particu- larly he expects to come through the fight with a bag full of votes which will offset the normal pluralities pro- duced by the republican party in the first, second, third and fourth. The fifth ward, which, it was predicted be- fore the municipal election last spring, would be found in the Quigley col- umn, and which wasn't, may decide how New Britain will go. If it gives Paonessa more votes in his contest for secretary of state than it does Judge Palotti of Hartford there is little doubt that the Hardware City will stand firm for democracy. “Joe” Dutton is expected to meet little opposition in his home city of Bristol. He has served the Bell City well in the capacity of mayor several times, once having no contest at the polls, and enjoys the admiration of )the men and women in his bailiwick. “Joe" is the pride of Bristol. It is said that the town is going to give him an old-fashioned, rjp-roaring plurality which will leame no doubt in the minds of the district just where Bristol stands on the question, “Will Joe Dutton go to congress?" If the hopes of democracy become actualities, Hartford county should give the republicans something to worry about. With Spellacy in Hart- ford, Paonessa in New Britain and Dutton in Bristol fighting for honors it will take strong measures to keep them behind in the race. .o Friends of ex-Mayor Joseph M. Halloran ecannot be said to express pleasure over his defeat at the con- gressional convention. Whether it is true or otherwise, they believe that the Paonessa taction was active in creating such a situation and no amount of argument can convince them to the contrary It is now said that Mayor Paonessa was not an active candidate for a place on the state ticket until a move- ment in that direction had been agitated by others Prominent Italian-Americans in Bridgeport and New Haven are reported to have first given him consideration as a vote getting power in the election and to have suggested him for the lieutenant governorship. As this was farther than the party leaders were willing to go, it was decided that he should have the place which has now been given to him. Mr. Halloran's associated are natur- ally aggrieved. They insist that if Mayor Paonessa's name had not been suggested for the state ticket, their candidate would have been nominated for congress. . oo He was a former High school foot- —— e Oak tomorrow when Hatch's Band of Hartford, will play in the afternoon and evening and dancing will be en- SESES e S ball player, one of the "“Old Grads" who keeps fresh in their memories the glories of other days. He was dis- coursing on polities and gave his au- ditors a new angle on the political situation, an angle which others may have and which may affect the result in this city, “Regardless of the fact that I usually vote the republican ticket, I'm going to vote straight democratic this time,” he sald, “Why? Well, I'll tell you, New Britaln has a man on the state ticket wlo ls running for the same office a Hartford man is seeking as a candidate of the republi- can party. And that is good enough for me. I'm a pretty good repub- lican but when it comes to a contest between New Britain and Hartford I'm going to stick by New Britain, “Yes, I'll admit the reasoning isn't very strong.

The folks in the Capital City treat us with condescension, sort of regard us as an older boy regards his ‘kid brother.” I've always re- sented that and this is the time I'm going to do something except think about {t. “I don't know Paonessa to speak to. They tell me he's a pretty good sort of a fellow. I don't know Palotti at} all, But I do know he's from Hart- ford. That's all 1 want to know, en there's a chance to vote for a New Britain man. “We've walloped the hide off Hart- ford in football and baseball and heard them squeal. Well, this year we'll wallop them in politics and give them something to squeal about.” And the rest of the crowd said “Amen."” * . Further evidence of the breaking down of traditions is found in the recommendation by the board of di- rectors of the ' Hartford Advertising club that the constitution of the or- ganjgation be amended to permit the inclusion of women in the member- ship. Heretofore, the membership of the club was limited to males. It is said that the recommendation of the directors will be adopted and that the fair sex will be recognized, as they deserve to be. Besides breaking down of old bar- riers erected when man was wont to dragged his beloved around by the hair just to prove that he hadn't lost interest in her, the action of the club will be recognition of woman's ad- vance in the realm cof business. We are wont to form impressions on in- sufficient information and the popu- lar picture of a woman in business in years gone by was a female who couldn’t get-a man so decided to enter commercial pursuits. This, of course, was far from the truth. Woman has been forging ahead in business without any help from the! other sex. She has fought down prejudices so successfully that now she occupies a plane of equality with men and, in some pursuits, \has out- distanced some of the sharpest little boys who ever carried a grip and swapped stories in the smoking com- partment Women have advanced more rapid- ly in some avocations than in others. The advertising field geems to be pe- culiarly adapted to their talents. In large cities women hold positions of responsibility in business houses be- cause of their value as advertising experts. There are many posts which they fill more satisfactorily than do men. In departrfient stores, if they have the advertising “sense,” they are frequently found in the publicity de- partment preparing copy which they write understandingly because they speak the language of woman and can therefore get their message across where a man might fail. DR ‘When a friend tried to interest him in a tariff discussion & month or so ago “Bill"” Jones laughed and said: “Tariff? Huh, what have I got to do with the tariff? That's a subject for the politiclans down at Washington to discuss. Talk to me about the Cardihals’ chances to win the pen- nant and you're speaking my lan- guage.” “Bill” Jones will probably go into a clothing store next spring to pick out a new suit.

Tha new tariff, which recently passed congress, places a duty of thirty cents a pound on wool, an average of more than seventy-five per cent. above the levy under the terms of the Payne-Aldrich tariff. The United Btates produces about 800,000,000 pounds of wool annually and uses about twice as much, mak- ing it necessary to import the differ- ence, The wool interests, no doubt, will Increase their prices to a level corresponding to the cost of the im- ported wool, plus cost of shipping, plus the tariff rate, so that we can all have the pleasure of going into our pockets to contribute toward the wool man's daughter's education, or per- haps a new car, The new tariff will {increase publig's clothes bill $345,000,000. Is ‘the world going to war again? Far ffom being an abstract ques- the tion, as it was in 1914, this is a seri- ¢ ous subject. If war between England and Turkey is allowed to break out and continue for any length of time, the result may be a conflict so ter- rible in its scope that it cannot be visualized, For years there has been discus- sion of a war between the Moham- medan millions, and those who are not followers of Allah, It has been predicted that such a conflict would be the worst scourge ever to visit the earth. Perhaps we are on the verge of such a test, It is the old story of the inability of one race to understand the point of view of another. The Turk f{s hopeless, according fo our standards. Conversely all Christians are dogs and should be exterminated, accord- ing to the popular conception of the Turk's point of view, It seems strange that man, the only reasoning mem- ber of the animal kingdom, cannot establish a common meeting ground, cannot reduce conflicting ppints of view to an average, but must settle his differences of opinion with the sword, England’'s ministers realize perhaps more than anyone else the seriousness of the situation, They appreciate the menace to the Christian church that lies in the return to power of the Turk. In Egypt are millions cof fanaties who will attack their Chris- tian neighbors with religious zeal, killing them and destroying their property. India is much like a mined fort which is occupied by a minority class of soldiers. A single spark’ is capable of setting off thé greatest ex- plosion India has ever suffered. All of this will be for what? Be- cause several milllons of people wor- ship a deity diferent than several millions of others. There are other causes, of course, but at the bottom there is that dominating cause, re- ligigus hostility. The forest grows stronger with the passing of each year.
