P —— THE CLEAN-UP DRIVE The great high authority has been quoted as saying that he intended to “clean up New Britain once and for all.” The process, it seems, has begun, city county and state officers collabor- ating. The appearance of evil is to be avoided henceforth. There is to re- main nothing resembling the old-time saloon—the saloon that few In the country want to see again—and there will be no reminders of the old days. Naturally those,who have been con- victed of violating the liquor law in some particular are the first to be ordered to dismantle their bars. This order comes as an added, extra-judi- cial sentence, of course. Such alleged violators are supposed to have paid the penalty fixed by the court for their wrong deeds, and now are to do a little more In addition to those penal- ties. But these are times, it seems, when small technicalities such as that do not matter. Certainly New Britain will be glad to feel that the high au- thority, when the work has been com- pleted, has “cleaned up” the city. He sald he would, and of course he will. New Britain people may feel that their city is cleaned up once and all, and that's all there is to it. It is not believed that the officers from out of the city who are engaged in this process think they are per- forming much’ more than a gesture which will meet with approval of the critics of the eity. It is surmised that ‘the high state authorities have the same good opinion of the New Britain police force and its chief they had when the present force came under the jurisdiction of the present chief. But a gesture had to be made, and it is being made. After the work of dis- sopeens and liquor signs is done New Britain “will probably be as clean a elty or cleaner than any other in the state, just as local police officials say it is now.* No one is very excited about the clean-up process. Bo let it go at that. THE WORLD: HOW GOES IT? “Is the world better or worse than question, No matter how strong one's llogical to filgure that greater free- not contrary to the Divine will, If we are working out our practical salva- tion, certainly it would seem that we should be working out our spiritual salvation, But whatever way we answer the questiony “Is the world better” it is certain we'can not go back to the old ways in practlcn‘l matters, We have learned; we insist upon using our brains that were given us to use, We have kept the useful in practical mat- ters and discarded the useless. Why should We not use our brains in mat- U ters spiritual and keep the things that have proven themselves to be good under the greater light of learning, and why should we not discard the ignorance, the narrowness of the past that seems so dark in this new light we have. The world is better. 5 LEARN TO FLY The advice, or suggestion, “Learn to Fly,” is used in its practical sense, not metaphorically, One is not ad- vising or suggesting that people should go out and go “up in the air” over everything, nor should they seek the henghts beyond without looking at and attending to the practical af- fairs at hand, The expression is in- spired by the notice that the National Aeronautic Association has ordered a free flying acholars}up to 1,000 cities and towns in the Unitefl States to stimulate interest In aeronautics. The assoclation has made arrangements with leading flying schools to give opportunity to fly without cost of tul- tion to a large number of persons 17 years old and over. These scholarships are to be earned by candidates arous- ing public sentiment in their respec- tive communities in support of nation- al aeronautics and “effectively tying up this sentiment through member- ship in the National Aeronautic As- sociation with the nation-wide cam- paign now under way by the assocla- tion to put America first in the air.” To make America first in the air there should be aroused an interest that will not be confined to a few, as at present is the case. Baseball is pp- ular here because the young take it up. Golf will become popular as soon as playing by the very young becomes more general. It is hard to make a great sport or other activity generally popular With the result that our peo- ple become leaders in it by inclination unless popular interest {s created. This soclety has gone about it in the right way, and its aim is one that this coun- try has neglected. America should be first, of course, as she is first in every- thing else, ‘practically. Get everyone interested individually, and success will come. And so one would encourage those who care little for life to go out and get one of these scholarships. Of course the pupils some day may be killer, but America must be first in the alr. v HARDWARE OUTLOOK , Probably the Hardware Age weekly market summary will be of especial interest to employers and employes of this city, for, generally speaking, as the business prospects of the employ- er are good, so are the prospects of the worker good. This weekly sum- mary emphasizes the confidence in the immediate future of the hardware market. Wholesale dealers are pre- dicting a large fall business, which means, of course, work for all. It is predicted that if the 8-hour dom of thought in things spiritual is House of Commmons it was asked whether in connection with the refusal of the United States to allow liquor to remalin under seal in British ships in American ports, the attention of this government had been called to a dispatch forwarded by the American government some years ago to the Spanish government which, while ad- mitting the legal right of every na- tlon to prescribe the conditions under which foreign vessels should be ad- mitted to thelr ports, laid it down that these conditions must not conflict with established usages. It was said fur- ther that this dispatch was quoted as international law, and it was advised, in the House of Commons, that the matter should be called to the atten- tion of the American government. We see where a large quantity of alcohol was found by authorities in'a hearse. Times are getting be!ter—;the middle man is eliminated. We can at last explain the great influx of immigrants into the United UNDERWOOD LIKELY 10 WAGE HOT FIGHT Democrats Think' His Speech Is Forecast of Prompt Action ‘Washington, D. C., Aug. 2.—Demo- cratic leaders here of all ' political ishades and complexions interpreted i Senator Oscar W. Underwood's speech yesterday before the Alabama legisla- ture as a declaration that he intends to make an active campalgn for the presidential nomination. Close political friends of the senator admit his hat is in the ring, and they say it will take a merry scramble by the opposing forces at the next democratic convention to remove it. They say he will appear before the American people as a much stronger candidate than in 1912, when he went to the Baltimore convention with the delegations of four states solidly be- hind him without making any active fight for delegates.

Newspaper item tells of the stealing of household furniture from a station platform, said furniture to be shipped to Indiana. No cause for anxiety, May- be the company shipped it on time, for a change. We read that Senator Underwood of Alabama would accept the demo- cratic nomination for presidency if it were tendered. So would we—if it were tendered. “If crisis came Ford might run”— headline. Auto or man? Facts and Fancies BY ROBERT QUILLEN, No doubt men would like salad and lettuce sandwiches if theyhad to do the cooking. The Crown Prince frequently figures in the news now, but some day he will be king. It's a hick town if the ink in the post office lobby isn't fit to go in your fountain pen. A tax on bachelors would be unfair. The ingenuity of the poor chaps is taxed to the 1imit now. We wait_patlently for a prize fighter who will say on the eve of a bout that he is not sure he will win. That tourist who fell dead at the steering wheel probably met a woman driver who gave him half the road. Now that a lizard has won in a pet show, we expect some tea hound to mop up at the next kennel exhibit. Now that the naval treaty is ratified iopen and announce their ‘| families of soldiers at the front re- derwood’s friends that they intend to organize thelr forces in every state with the avowed purpose of going into the convention with a large delega- tion pledged to stand by the senator through thick and thin. Even though they may not obtain a majority of the delegates, they feel Benator Un- derwood's strength with the voters was clearly demonstrated and he will be in a fine strategic position. The Underwood speech is praised by his friends as a masterpiece of po- litical strategy, while it is damned by the friends of other contenders for the democratic nomination as insig- nificant and unimportant. The latter say he has straddled important is- sues and offers no constructive pro- gram to solve the pending critical do- mestlc problems. For instance, they point out that he has left the liquor question where it was and he has pleased neither the wets nor the drys. His declaration for strict enforcement of the 18th amendment, in view of his record on the liquor, has not placated the anti- saloon league. On the other hand the wet forces expected him to come out flat footed on a wet platform. The activity of the Underwood boomers, alded and abetted by their chief, has caused much stirring in the secret camps of friends of other con- tenders. It is belleved here the Me- Adoo forces will now come out in the organiza- tions. Tag McAdoo forces are clearly alrmed at the Underwood boom and are not disposed to discount its pos- sibilitles. In the first place they con- cede that Underwood’s friends will have little or no trouble in getting plenty ot funds to finance the cam- paign, as they charge big interests would rather see Underwood president than any other democrat now in the limelight. Again, they are saying Underwood {s the Harding administration nom- inee among the democrats for the presidency, as ‘“he is the one man Harding thinks he can lick." oo e 25 Years Ago Today (Taken irom Herald of that date) ) All applications for relief, from celved by Belectman Hurlburt have been fully honored and checks mailed | to applicants.

HURDERERS ARE ON GOVERNOR'S OUTING Ohio Executive Takes Them to ‘ Canada as Servants Ottawa, Canada, Aug. 2~Orders were issued here by the immigration department for Inspectors at border points to bar the entry into Canada of two convicts sald to be accompany- ing Governor Donahey of Ohio, who was reported coming to Ontario *for a fishing thip. At that time it was not known that the governor already hag crossed the border with his party, and when it was learned that he had’ actually bfought two men convicted of murder into the country considerable indigna- tion was expressed here. No person convicted of a crime in- volving moral turpitude is permittes to enter Canada. . It was called to the attention of the immigration officlals that Governor Donahey sald he had come into On- tario on the invitation of the Hon, E. C. Drury, who vacated office as pre- mier of Ontarlo on July 16. The of- [l ficlals sald that neither Mr. Drury nor any other person, either in provincial or federal governments, had authority to grant immunity from the immigra- tion laws and regulations, and that such an excuse could not be accepted. An officlal of the immigration de- partment will visit Cobocbnk, where Governor Donahey is camping, and make a thorough inquiry., There ap- pears no doubt that the immediate re- turn of the convicts to Ohloswill be | demanded. 1t was pointed out that once the criminals crossed the border they were no longer amenable to the discipline of the penal institution in which they were serving time, nor were they under the laws of the United States, Under these eircumstances they could fight extradition if they felt inclined. Covernor Sees Political Attack Coboconk, Ontario, Aug. 2.—This is all political bunk,” sald Gogernor Donahey of Ohlo concerning tw® con- victed murderers brought by him in his party on a fishing trip to Cobo- conk, ““Ihis news was published to hurt me. I have a signed pardon in my desk at the executive mansion for Earl Jennings, one of the murderers, and C. Ziprianl is employed as a cook."” % Governor Donahey was very indig« nant at the publicity the matter had recelved and stated that he was never so surprised in his life as when he heard of the supposed controversy over these men in his party. “Both men are trusties,” he con- tinued, “and have been for over five years. These boys are not real mur- derers. They were convicted of sec- ond degree murder, not first. They started to fight in a pool room and in both cases two opponents were accl- dentally killed. They aren't Iike thieves who have stolen and Who have resisted capture by force. I would trust them as I do my son. I am personally responsible for these men and I Know them.” “Did you have any trouble getting across the border?” the governor was ask&y. “No, not a bit,” he replied. “I had a pass from the Hon. B. C. Drury, for- mer Premler of Ontario, and we are here on his invitation.” Blaming the system of penal servi- tude for the condition of many crim- inals, the governor continued: “Our system in the penitentiaries is to redeem men, men whom we know to deserve it, and as a result we have 600 men on our honor list sleeping who took charge of the Brown was wanted specifically on an BUT— MIDNIGHT SUNDAY MURDER OF THE WAGO KID IS RECALLED BY ARREST “Big Alabama,” Reputed to Know, Slayers, Held in Chicago on Newark Charge o Chicago, Aug. 2.—Although he sald he was broke and didn't have a ffiend in Chicago, Brown, thought to have knowledge of who slew “The Waco Kid"” and rated as one of the cleverest bunco men in the country, was able to supply bond of $15,000 less than five hours after he was turned over to the federal au- thoritles by the police who arrested him for street fighting.

Of course there is trouble and disaster connected with electricity which has become the Ilight and power-giving medium. But who will | say that the world has not henemledi more by electricity than it has been harmed by it? Who would go back to the days of the oll lamp? Then it may be noted on the same day 25 years ago a team of horses ran away and collided with another. Well, comparatively few horses run away these days because few are used. Of course the automobile record of disaster is appalling. Yet, who would say that the good coming from the' automobile is not far greater than the | harm it does?

One would like to feel that the deepest sincerity marked the promises, which of course, have been qualified by plac- {ing the time of the change at that period when it will be possible to obtain the 60,000 additional workmen necessary. The 12-hour day abandon- ment has been fought for for a long time. It has not come. First one ex- cuse and then another has been of- fered. It must come eventually, but there is little ground to believe that it will come before the “large fall bus- iness” has been attended to. CITING PRECEDENTS The expected has come. When the ruling was made by treasury officials that foreign nations could not come this country’s ports insignificant straws which tend to show that the advantage of progress/ does outweigh the harm it has brought, dealing in practical matters.

But the | best we may do is to figure by analogy. even bonded liquor, obeying their own laws, reference was made these columns to the note of Daniel Webster | then secretary of state, in which he insisted that American ships in any port should be considered American territory.
