OONGRESS STILL DRY Referendums are one thing; one- fourth of the natlon's population registered themselves as modifica- tions through the referendums on| election day. But the dry gentlemen in Con- gress form quite another kind of {ssue. Wayne B. Wheeler, Anti- Saloon league chief, says only nine of the 35 new senators elected are wet, while more than 300 members of the house with dry records have been re-elected. ‘What is the meaning of all this? Simply that a great many people of wet proclivities continue to elect dry congressmen. This comes about largely through the party label. A wet Republican, if he is a bet- ter Republican than he is a wet, in- variably votes for a Republican dry. The latter may not be advertised as such, but he is put down in the dry column nevertheless. Millions of voters are in this| category; thousands in Connecticut. VARE AND SMITH Senator George W. Norris of Ne- braska, Progressive Republican, | sounding the tocsin of his Insurgent colleagues in the Senate, has already announcéd the method of procedure | in connection with Senator Vare of | Pennsylvania and Senator Smith of | Tilinois. Neither will be seated, ac- | eording to Norrls, and how this is | going to be prevented forms the | thesis of his salutation to the nation. Instead of ousting them after they get into the Senate, Norris says their eredentlals will be attacked immedi- | ately upon their presentation to the Senate and thelr seats declared vacant. But Norris is not certain of every detail of this matter. “It may be,” he is quoted as having said, “that the credentials of Mr. Vare will be accepted by the Senate and that he will be temporarily permitted to occupy a seat pending an investiga- tion into the manner in which he was nominated and elected.” The same procedure is thought possible 1n the case of Senator Smith. | Senator Norris has done the coun- | try a service in so early announcing | the plan of the combined Insurgents | | and Democrats. The Republicans, bs | | every they wet or dry, will try to hang onto Vare and Smith In the Senate for the sake of politics, and Senators | Bingham and McLean of Connecticut | some are expected to vote for these Re- publican senators. As shedding light upon cratic polities, the senators as W and Walsh of M pronounced wets— will be interest- ing.

RUTHLESSNESS The hit and run driver is as popu- lar as a scorplon. At Newington a woman walks across the highway to her husband’s automoblile, and while doing so is struck by a ma- chine and is instantly killed. The driver of the machine, instead of stopping to note the extent of the injuries inflicted, take his victim to a hospital and report to the police, steps on the gas instead. Somebody is arrested and will go on trial. The main question is not one of whether the victim ‘stepped right in front of the automobile,” as so frequently is the defense of auto- drivers figuring in an accident. The evasion of responsibility, it proved, probably will nullify any such de- tense, The man who figures in an accl- dent and then drives on gives prima facie evidence of having a strong reason why he doesn’t wish to face the musfe. | ‘WILD STUDENTS The students of the Massachusetts | Institute of Technoloiy have been | putting on an annual riot; and these | and | | volunteer cholrs are in need of a |few good volces to lead them through the mazes of thelr anthems, | rather than a large membership of | inaitrerent volces. A skillea quar- |tet within a choir can enable the singers to project music which other- wise would be impossible for the singers. Dean Lutkin's scheme is good as fas as it goes, but it doesn't go far enough. It doesn’t include the con- gregations and it offers no guarantee | that volunteer chotr singers will be | present when the roll 1s called; and it doesn’t insure the fine singing that congregations lhave been ct from the choirloft. | modern trained to ex; INTLUENCE OF BRITISH COAL STRIKE The world, economically speaking, |is closely knit together.

TRAINED CHOIRS AND CHURCH SINGING Again an expert on such matters has come forward with the state- ment that trained choirs, or quartets, injure church singing; that they take the life out of congrega- that they *dis- courage it. The gentleman making statements is no less than Dean Peter C. Lutkin, of the college of music of Northwestern University, Evanston, IIL In order to make some | headway in the direction he thinks | churches ought to take, Dean Lutkin has established a college course for church choir leaders. Much as quartet choirs have been lambasted by sundry church digni- tarles, including some bishops and some preachers, the fact remains that they are easler to listen to than a choir of amateurs who cannot sing much better than a congregation. There are exceptions, of these | But this also holds good of quartets. The tendency of the last genera- tion has been in favor of the church quartet of paid singers, not only as a means music during services, but also as a certaln method to isure good re- sults. The members of volunteer choirs, not being paid for their at- tendance, are not in duty bound to be present during the services, and organist or cholr leader knows the heartburnings incident to acting a full attendance and get- ¢ only half an attendance, with of the those absent.

The conservative party in England is going a long way, under Baldwin’s leadership, toward ruining | its prestige and its chances in the near future through its failure to | carry out its promises made follow- | ing the ending of the general strike. | WALL STREET AND POLITICS Wall street has not viewed the in- crease in Democratic power in Con- gress with a fit of alarm. On the contrary, there is prospect of a bull | market as a rosult, according to | some observers, Should there be an agitation for | the taxation of big surplusses, it is | said, it 1is believed probable that many of the big corporations will proceed to disburse some of their cash assets, or capitalize their sur- through stock dividends. There is a large total of excess sur- plussses in the country, and con- gresslonal agitation to get at them is expected. The only way the cor- porations have to defend themselves is to do the foregoing, and Wall street likes nothing better as a | stimulator of stock advances. Every- body wants to get in on distribution and stocks get in de- mand whenever such a thing is in such a the air. One “prominent banker” in Boston is quoted as saying: “I look for a large crop of special disburse- | ments, beginning almost immediately and continuing well into next year. With this in view, I do not see how the market can go much.” It may be hard for some folk to | understand how Democratic success [can help the stock market and holders of stocks, but if it isn't clear down very | Either the “prominent banker” is right or he is wrong.

The fact | that several matters of importance | are pending before the board makes the situation a more aggravated one than would be the case were there none but routine questions to be pro- pounded before the commissioners. Newspaper items to the effect that “the scheduled meeting of the health department was postponed in the ab- sence of a quorum,” are altogether too numerous under the present health department —regime, in the opinion of many who are interested in government. Thers are several property owners and taxpayers who have aplied for permission to con- duct chicken markets near the cen- ter of the city. Establishment of a policy on this type of business is of vital interest to them; in fact it is of vital interest to all present and future property owners and house- holders to know what the likelihood of a live chicken market in their immediate neighborhood is.

The weather is getting on our | nerves. Pleasant Sundays have be- come scarcer than honest taxi | meters. Aparently all the weather | does is to wake up and look at the | calendar beside the bed, find it is | Sunday, and go out to the sink and turn on the rain. Sunday trips are \given up or turn into wading cxpe- ditions. Sunday clothes become mere gobs of pulp. Church-goers take tips from channel swimmers and cover themselves with grease to keep out the wet cold. The motorboat is succecding the automobile on state highways and may shortly create such a traffic problem that sub- chasers will have to be purchased for the state police. Hikers in the great outdoors wear diving suits. And the company with which the All-New Britains take out rain in- surance is on the verge of bank- ruptey. Saturday is dry, except for liquid refreshments at the football games and after. Monday is beautiful. But sees | 7. Thomas Sunday is another day and doesn’t care who knows it or what they think about it. For a number of years a change in the calendar has been advocated, calling for a revision of that ancient table to make each day of the month fall alwayas on the same day of the week. The idea has never passed the stage of hypothesis, but now we seem to have another revi- sion by which each day of the week falls in the same sort of weather. Let us go the whole distance and re-name the days, discarding old pagan titles. Instead of Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday let us have, respectively, Fair, Unsettled, Part Cloudy, Clear, Unsettled, Cloudy, and Rain. Judging from the past few weeks, these designations would be fully as distinctive and immeasurably more accurate. For why label Sunday a day on which we never see that orb? So get out the family submarine and prepare for a nice ride in the country tomorrow. ¢ Regular theater patrons who at- tend performances at a Hartford playhouse where legitimate shows are offered observed a phenomenon this week—the return of the ‘“boy and girl” audience, It is a fact that young folks, generally speaking, have absented themselves from legitimate theaters for several sea- sons and seats have been occupied for the greater part by doddering grayheads and their wives. This was due to the radical increase in prices which went up right after the war and failed to come down. The “girl and boy” audience has been absent ever since. Secking a solution to the at- tendance problem, the management of the Hartford theater decided that high prices were keeping the young people away. So it announced § reduction for certain attractions. The respond was almost immediate. The “hoy and girl” audlence made its reappearance last Monday right, the first time the reduced scale of prices was in effect. It seemed refreshing to see the auditorium filled again with young men and their sweethearts. They also seemed to enjoy the novelty. Youth lends spontaneity to any gathering. It is the leven which keeps this world of ours In a state of ferment. It is particularly notice- able in a theater where old timers slouch down in their seats and defy the actors to make them laugh or make them cry. or make them do any of the things they have paid their money to be made to do. Along comes youth bubbling over with enthusiasm for life, whether it be real or on the stage, and the sit- uation changes. The air becomes more electric. The party is a suc- cess. The young man cannot be blamed for shunning the legitimate theater and secking recreation at motion picture houses where prices are within the reach of all. If he is just starting out to make his mark in the world his income will not permit him to embark on the sea of high finance and glve up a large share of his week's pay for one visit to a playhouse, not to mention a “bite for two” at a restaurant be- fore or after the show. His pocket- book could not stand the strain. But with the reduction in prices he can feel more free to ask his sweet- heart to “‘come.to a show tonight.” The young people profit because they enjoy an evening of high class entertainment.
