Those who are interested in how such investigations are brought about will reflect that it has been due to the power of the press. The reporter who wrote up the mine sit- uation for his newspaper in a series of secathing articles, which were eagerly read in the Senate, has been given the firet prize for the year's most notable journalistic achieve- ment by an organization existing for that purpose, “FREIGHT-WEIGHT" An official announcement made In | Hartford indicates that the freight- weight space applying to trucks has doubled during the last seven years while the registration of trucks during that time has increased only 38 per cent. This means official recognition of the fact that the tendency of trucks has been toward size. Not even sta- tistics have been necessary to prove his point to with good eyesight and an observing | disposition has noted an astonishing increase in huge trucks rolling along | the public highways, some of them nearly as huge as freight cars. & trifling effect upon the situation | Britain, of today.

This merger of vaudeville and film producers, involving the Gener- al Electric, and the Radio Corpor- atien of America, will put 700 high grade theaters under new mamnage- ment; but are the ehows going to get any worse or does it mean the worat has been attained? A southern editor remarks that one way not to enforce prohibition is to elect a Republican president; but the way to enforce it is to clect a Democrat. Climate seems to have a wonderful effect on the point of view. One thing Governor 8mith will do for the Republican party—it will force the gentleman delegates to neminate their strongest candidate, regardiess of their personal prefer- ences for a pliable nonentity who is always willing to listen when there is talk about appointments. The difference between an unac- cepted street and an accepted street, the speclal Councll street investigat- ing commmittee will find out, is that the former usually is in bad condition, while the other is in a condition that is bad.

The flight of ICENT FLIGHT the dirigible Los Angeles to Panama, and thence its | contemplated flight today from Panama to Cuba, is a highly inter- esting and significant experiment by the Navy department. Tt means that the canal zone is within “casy flying distance” for a dirigible from New York: and tha mooring mast-—-on land or ship—the dirigible is home. When the dirigible arrives in Cuba it will moor to the mast of the 1° 8. 8 Patoka. Reports from Washington are to the effect that the government con- templates the construction of a few more lighter-than-air machiges, such as the Los Angelss. The unfor- tunate destruction of the Shenan- doah, the carlier machine made in this country, is not regarded as con- clusive evidence that dirigibles are not good in their place.

But it is not an easy thing {to achleve. A huge truck is a poten- i“a] law-violator in this respect; when loaded with goods that take up much space but are comparatively light, the law will not be violated; but the same truck when loaded with goods of inherent weight will be too heavy for the good of the roads. It |is doubtful whether the police can .‘ho watchful enough to investigate |every truck rolling along the high- ways or streets. One can hope that the limit has jbe“n reached in over-size trucks; (but there is no guarantee to this effect.

Which reminds once again of the remarkable similarity of party platform declarations in recent | years. Someone has said they have | been something “to get in on, not to stand on." The obscure statements, the dodg- ‘lng and etraddling, have become so }no(oricus that intelligent citizens | have coma to regard a political plat- | form as so much ballyhoo designed to fit different interpretations in dif- ferent parts of the country. Vital | issues, which need clarification, of course are not clarified, and some- [times not even mentioned except by |2 few nondescript lines designed to {indicate to the public that the poli- ticians know the issue exists. ¢ platforms have been remark- ably similar in some respects, too. Frank R. Kent, in his book, *“The Great Game of Politics,” describes ‘!hu reason to a nicety, to wit: | convention the Republican knows perfectly well that, 1f it refuses to insert a | plank . . . to moet, say, the wishes of the American Farm Bureau Fed- eration, the Democratic convention, which meets the following weck, will promptly take advantage of this failure, insert the farmer plank and garner the very greatly desir support of the agricultural element. And it works the other way, too— if the Republican convention . . . inserts the farmers’ plank, or the labor plank, or some other plank - then the Democratic conven- tion . . is afraid not to insert a similar plank for fear that the in- fluence of this group will be swung solidly to the other side. . net result is that the two party plat- forms are often absurdly alike.” |ing trucks be enforced. This law, to | « . The| It the trend in the country con- "tinues as it has during the past few years farming prosperity within a few years will be what it was before the war. This is not a great ad- | vance—indeed, it would be standing still for more than a period of ten years, When the farmers glimpse the | prosperity that came to the ecities after the war and compare it with their own parlous state during that |time they can be abundantly par- doned for their discontent. TRIAL RY JURY Connecticut adopted the practice of giving the accused the right to | choose between a jury trial and! trial by the judge in 1921. The sys- tem has been widely heralded—in Connecticut—as the “Connecticut | system.” Yet in Maryland the ac- | cused has had this right for over a century; and it has bcen the prac- tice under the British eystem of Jjurisprudence. In Connecticut and Maryland, leaving the decision to the judge is more popular than leaving it to the | jury, in a majority of criminal cases, | becauso of the saving of costs. And there is the widely held opinion that the trial resuit will be the samo. The jury eystem in the United States—except in the federal courts | —as a rule makes the judge a mere | moderator. He s bound by rules regulating his conduct; he is morc like a referee at a prizefight, or an umpire at a baseball game, or an officlal at an athletic event, whose main business is to see that the par- | ticipants abide by the rules. The ' judge, thhe best trained legal mind in the courtroom, virtually is not al- lowed to take part in the proceed- ings in most of our states! | At common law the judge was the | directing and controlling head at |the trial; he still occuples this posi- | tion in Engiand, Canada and in the U. 8. federal courts. Under common law he has the right to examine a | Witness, to advise the jury upon the | facts, express an opinion upon the | credibility of witnesses, and advise both witnesses and jury as to the jmw. The rules of proce:dure as built up in the state courts in the United | States in large part have altered | this. In most states the judge has heen reduced to the importance of | court room furniture, For this reason the Connecticut |and Maryland system is superior to !the systems in the other states in that it permits the judge to return to somecthing approaching the dig ‘ni'y of the bench in such cases | where prisoners choose to forego trial by jury. ,four minor telephone companies in !the state as are held by the South New England Telephone Co.

FACTS — ABOUT CONNECTICUT CHAMBER OF COMMERCE The Connecticut Agricultural College. Scientific farming is taught Connecticut youths at the Connec- ticut Agricuitural College at Storrs, the only state-supported in- stitution of college grade in Connecticut. The college is co- cducational and enrolls about 400 men and 100 women, the limit of erollmént being fixed by law at 500. The college is composed of three principal divisions—residen- tia] instruction, comparable to the usual plan of college organ- ization; the Storrs Experiment station and the extension service, Four-yea- courses of instruction are offered in agriculture, agricultural science, mechanical engineering and home econome ics. There are also a two-year course in agriculture, short courses and summer Courses. The experiment station is a testing ground for the solution of farm problems und the working out of effective farm prac- Farming operations are carried out on the tillable por- of 1,580 acres which t tate owns at Storrs. The work of the extension service is carried out through agricultural work for adults, home ecconomics for adults and junior work, or boy nd girls' clubs. The college, of which Charles L. Beach is president, was founded in 1854, and is the only land grant institution in the state. The land, buildings and equipment arz valued at $2,654,- 168. Expenditures tor the college, the extension service and the experimient station amounted to $1,049,350 the last college year.
