DEDICATING THE MONUMENT New Britaln tomorrow will dedi- cate, With appropriate exercises, the great monument on top of Wal- nut Hill, erected as a tribute for all time to the herolc dead which the city contributed as its share to the successful conclusion of the World War. It is needless to emphasize that the Memorial Monument is one of the most artistic shafts in the land. Of this everyone by this time is fully aware. Not only is the monu- ment of itself a great work of art, of dignity and power, but the city | gave it the most prominent location at its command—atop the highest hill in its beautiful playground, only an insignificant distance from the heart of the city, There the great shaft picrces the sky, to write its message in the hearts of beholders for countless generations. Thus situated its gran- deur can be estimated trom virtual- ly all parts of the city; and at night, so that its view is not tran- scended by the shades of darkness, strong lights will play up its stately sides. Thus illuminated, it will be a majestic beacon to the city and surrounding countryside. It will be seen with distinctness in Hartford, ten miles away. Proud though We as citizens may be at the consummation of this noble task and duty, let us not hide our souls behind this paragon of uchievement. Let us not forget that the elevation thus painstakingly beautified is not one merely to serve as an addition to the spectacies of the eity; let 1t not merely serve as an ornament to the scenery, a dis- play of stone to delight the vision. Let us rather regard it as a true symbol of that higher emotion that has its seat in our hearts. Let it re flect & steadfast purpose to live and achieve good works and kind deeds under that starty flag which the brave boys whose names are in- scribed in metal gave their llves to maintain ‘in all its glory. Let us not forget the service they and their fallen comrades and that larger number who returned from gory glory did us that we might continue to live and prosper under the ban- ner of Washington, of Lincoln, of ‘Wilson and of Pershing. And in so remembering ~we should resolve anew to be worthy citizens of this ! great republic; to strive unceasingly to maintain its integrity, its honor, and its glory. ¢ We dedicate this monument morrow, time rededicate ourselves to take a worthy part in the destiny and achievement of thls, our country. Though it is important to us citizens that this image of our thoughts has been ralsed in glory to the skies, the soll on which it rests should not be entirely that on top of the hill, but its roots should cling deep into our hearts. Despite the panoply of parading the boom and crash of cymbals, the noise of the multitude and the bright colors of flags and buntiug, this dedication is a solemn o slon. It is an event which remem- bers the dead and glorifies the liv- ing. It yields an opportunity for ret rospection, of uplift for the spirit, and a rebirth of patriotism tn its most exalted torm.

The rigors of campaigning also have somewhat the same effect. There is the story from Oklahoma, for instance, that Governor Smith was 80 tired at Enid that he had to continue sleeping while *he erowd waited at the platform. This was not carly in the morning, but early for a man who had sat up half the night working on his next speech. A photograph of the governor went the round of papers the other day, | depicting him in his special train | surrounded by men sitting at a table. | | Such high-pressure political efforts continue all day en route, with | crowds at every station. At night speechmaking, to bed goodness knows when. Tmagine the nervous | strain incident to such a life. And through it all goes the realization that if one alip is made in a speech irreparable political damage may be done. Hoover, of course, goes through | the same reign of terror. NO ANSWER TO QUESTIONS On the whole, Hoover has taken | a wise attitude toward answering questions which may be put to him enroute. Unlike the governor of New York, he is not a ready extempora- neous speaker, certainly not pos- sessed of wit, and it is well it every candidate knows what is best for him. Hoover has let it be known that when the campaign started he and his managers decided against depart- |ing from prepared speeches. That is to say, Hoover prepares a speech, is printed and sent to the press in advance, and then he reads it word for word. Smith does the same thing, except that when he finds himself on the platform he frequently departs from the prepared speech and talks ex- | temporaneously. The result is that | carly editions of newspapers fre- quently report him inadequately. The Smith plan is hard on the | | morning newspapers. To take down | ! a stenographic report and transcribe | |it in type in time to be printed, ! an hour or so later, is quite a feat. The New York World is the only | New York paper that did it follow- | ing the Omaha specch, but could get | the actual verbatim speech only in the city edition. | | Smith is better as an extemporan- | cous speaker than as one reading I trom a manuseript. Hoover is better when reading from his prepared | speech; he runs so to statistics that | he couldn't remember them without |such aid. Each must do according | | to hia best lights. The public s lat-i | iafied either way so long as the can- | didates say enough to whet interest The Smith speech at Oklahoma | City pointedly showed the difference | | between reading an address and the | Smith method of adding pungent | remarks. The irony, satire and wit | came extemporaneously and it was |this feature which aroused the 'NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER a, not yet blown over.

A GOLD MINE OF WORDS “An inalienable public possession” is the way the London Times de- scribes the most astounding compila- tion of words ever attempted by the New Oxford dictionary has been is- sued. The entire dictionary isin ten large volumes or 20 “half size” vol- umes; the latter would be regarded | as quite large by the average man. We thought Websters or the In- ternational were quite big enough for the use of even the most exact- ing. But the New Oxford contains 15,488 pages, has 178 mileg of type, 50,000,000 words, 500,000 definitions, and nearly 2,000,000 quotations. We carefully refrain from stating its cost, which is in proportion to these figures. don newspaper that the compilation of this dictionary has been a master- plece of effort, to put it rather mild- ly. When we begin to analyze how it was done, admimtion grows apace. The work took 70 years to com- plle, Herbért Coleridge, aided by & thousand or more volunteer assist- ants in ;academic institutions, hoped to start printing it in 1862. But be- fore the first volume was ready death, defection and other causes thinned the ranks. Then there were other editors and new armies of in- vestigators. Be it said that one of the little jobs identified with the project was to read every book pub- lished in the English language; also every ancient and less ancient Eng- lish manscript. All museums were gone through in this quest. The ob- ject was to have the dictionary reg- ister all words that ever sprang from the mind and pen of English- men. This subterranean preparation and subsidiary labor required more than 20 years, and innumerable learned societies aided in the quest. During the 70 years the great work has been in preparation new words made their appearance, and these had to be incorporated in an extra volume. Had it not been for the Oxtord University Press, a British institution which seems to have un- limited funds for the printing of books which no other concern ever thinks of printing, the dictlonary ;mny not have attained publication even after its long period of prepu- ration. | an achievement.

TO PRISON FOR.LIFE | By pleading guilty to second de- gree murder Philip Rousch of New | Haven, aged only 28, received life | imprisonment in Waterbury for murdering & guard at the Cheshire reformatory five years ago. The guard died in the perform- ance of his duty: he attempted to prevent Rouscl from escaping. It was a cold-blooded murder, the deed laving been done with an axe. Many a murderer, with less evidence ! against him, has paid with his life | for such a crime. Now the point i, will Rousch real- '1y serve a life term? The question is brought up In view of the general knowledge that many “fifers” really don't serve a life term, but in due time gain their liberty on parole. It may be that prisoners when confronted with serfous charges are prone to countercharge that the po- lice beat them up after thelr arrests in order to wring “confessions™ fa.m them. This is no reason to sympa with eriminals as such; is logic to the side that the police when they do such things are gomng beyond the bounds of their alling.
