Charges and denials are so com- mon in politics that it is no won- der at all that the harassed citizen- ry so soon forget all the issues ex- cept the one about prohibition. The Red Cross needs money, and so do the political parties. The Red Cross should obtain its needs first and the latter the leavings. Road conditions in Connecticut today are good, and all lead to New Britain. The name of Gene Tunney, and a host of other notables, is not in “Who's Who,” it is disclosed. A man once boasted in our presence that his name was in the book, age in It, his name is now forgot- ten, THE CELEBRATION CONTINUES This is the day when the Memor- ial monument in Walnut Hill is ded- jcated. We printed an editorial on this subject yesterday and not much additional need be added at this time, But citizens should not overloook the memorial service which will be | held in the park Sunday dfternoon. This likewise will be an important part of the dedicatory events. Chor- us singing and the band will lend thelr efforts to this solemn occasion and the park undoubtedly will be crowded with appreciative listen- ers. The exercises today and tomor- | row will be milestones in the history of this city. Not for 28 years has there been & similar event in this city—that being the time when the Soldiers and Sailors monument | on the central triangle was dedicat- ed. The dedicatory exercises incident | to the Spanish War Memorial in | Willow Brook park, of recent mem- ory, was of course on a much.small- er scale than either of the others. The Soldiers and Sallors monu- ment at the center was dedicated 35 years after the close of the Civil ‘War. The Spanish War Memorial was dedicated 29 years after that conflict. But the Memorial monu- ment in Walnut Hill is being dedi- cated only 10 years after the close of the World War. BOUGHT AND PAID FOR Amazing though it may be, there seem to be some small newepapers which are. burdened with editors whe are 8o negligent in their re- sponsibility to the people they serve that they are willing fo ac- cept editorials from a power trust, | thus playing the game of the elec- tric trust against the people. Buch papers, of course, do not deserve to exist. They for the most part are weaklings, possessing edi- tors who lack the energy to think for themselves, or who are prepared to sell out the heritage of a free and untrammeled press for the pottage of immediate gain. They are without the fold of edi- torship .which takes itself seriously enough to reflect the true needs of their communities. accepts propaganda from a power trust and runs it as his own edi- torjals likewise will be unintelligent enough not to realize why his pub- lication stands low in the estimation of his public. Compared to the large number of independent and coura- geous editors throughout the coun- try the number of black sheep, for- tunately, is small Revelations being made before the Federal Trade Commission indi- | cate again that the power intcrests | of this gation have for several years | MOre 0f some carcer than of wifu- spent large sums of money to in- fluence public opinion in their half. They have run the risk of o3 doing it; and now that they be- found out the repercussion will be ' serious to these interests. For our part, at a time when the machinations of the power have been so thoroughly exposed in trust Washington. we point with pride o | the fact that we have never heen in- the the ctream of power propaganda which has come to our desk from time im- memorable. Our wastebasket has al- 4 fluenced in slightest by “imn‘lne such a thing—we have the ' | attempted to hold up the torch of but in | common with many another person- | An editor who | ways beea & largo one and no time has qver been lost in depositing such material where it is best taken care of. Lately there has been a marked decrease in power “trust material sent us. Possibly a careful check-up of this paper convinced the trust it was wasting postage, It always will if the dope is directed at this office. All other propaganda, it might be mentioned, finds the same fate in store. We play no propaganda fav- orites. Readers of newspapers justly ex- pect the publications which they buy should be free from propaganda and untainted. If we had anything te say In favor of a power trust—and it is distressingly difficult to even energy to write it ourselves. We have |independence in journalism, ‘and | prefer to lean backward rather than forward in contemplating the aims of power trusts, be they state, re- gional, or national. g LONGWORTH AT THE OUTING | This béing a rather gentlemanly | community politically speaking, no- body will think of asking Repre- sentative Nicholas Longworth em- batrassing questions when he visits | these environs on September 29 to address the annual Third Ward out- ing-at Lake Compounce, It will be a delightful affair, those attending | will hear just what they like to hear, and will applaud the speaker with | gusto. There will be .more genuine, lif not hard-boiled Republican doc- |trine on tap at that meeting than there will be barbecued meat, and | despite the skill of the chefs, it is doubtful whether they will be able to ccmpete with the excellence and taste of the verbal food. What intrigues us about the Ohio representative is that he is annqunc- ed as being a stalwart recalcitrant nst the 18th amendment. In this state nobody will ask him to explain | this viewpoint with that of Herbert Hoover, as Schuyler Merritt at the Republican state convention swered that point fairly well when he stated he held somewhat wet views, going as far in fact as to add that he partly agreed with Governor Smith on prohibition. After that, he- ing a Republican wet In this state is nothing remarkable, except they | find themselves in the embagrassing position of being forced to vote—if | they would be loyal to the pur()’-——i for a dry candidate. It is easy to understand Repre- | sentative Longworth's political wet- | ness, as he lives in Cincinbati. That | clty at least is as wet as New Hatén lor Waterbury, or Neéw Britain— | meaning wet in septiment, The Ohi- an merely knows on which side. his | | political bread is buttered, ha\'lng; | something in common with Mr. Mer- | | ritt in this respect. Only it is a little | {hard for the thoughtful to compre- | !hend how molst conversation and | dry voting will ever change the pro- | hibition doldrums that cause the conversation in the first place. But | | then, “this remains a queer world, The ' Cinclnnatian also sports an- other scalp on his political belt that might attract attention. He is.one of | those fortunates who fought for the an- | | soldiers’ bonus bill despite the oppo- | sition of President Coolidge. Most | Republican congressmen take pride | | Quring the present melee in how {they supported Coolidge, especially considering the fact that Herbert Hoover is regarded as the simon- pure legatee of the Coolidge policies. It so happens that many an influ- ential Republican in these parts op- posed the bonus legislation, private- 1y or openly; but then, we shouldn't have brought that up at all. If any- body so far forgets himself as to talk with the visitor about the bonus | business he probably can tell them ithat many a congressman who voted ! with Coolidge on the proposition no longer Is in Congress. And that an- {swer ought to satisfy anyone who | understands the A B'C of politics. Longworth is worth all the wel- come he will get. He is a snappy | talker, it 1s said, a good mixer, a fin handshaker, & gentleman of culture | and refinement. He has had fong ex- | perience in Congress and most im- | portant of all, has had the courage of his convictions and ‘the ability to state them unequivocally. In a.sensc, he is quite independent in his views, | although he never really slipped off |the reservation. A CAREER AND ALIMONY A judge in Hartford the other day promulgated the doctrine that a wife who sccks a divorce in order to pursuc a ‘“career” is not entitled to alimony. This doctrine is an impor- tant bill of rights in the realin of The ] [ | domesticity. wife ‘who thinks 1100d has already made her first mis- take, but if she at the same time husband afflicted with duty of paying her a monthly no doubt need wants her the Alowance—money i in pursuing the precious car | semblance of justice leaves the ture. 1f a wife tires of the restraint and DUE PROCESS OF LAW What is law if'the ends of fanat- icism are attained- One may well ask such a question on glimpsing an item relating to a decision of Feder- al Judge James H. Wilkerson of the northern’ district of Illinols, on the “forfeiture of property” in a prohi- bition case. Here is the item: “Federal Judge James H. Wilker- son, of the northern district of Ili- nois, gave an order to an assistant United States district attorney, on August 25, says an Associated Press dispatch of the date, for forfeiting a building valued at $50,000 in which two- stills: were housed, The sale must be made by the commis- sioner of prohibition. The forfeiture is provided for under an old revenue act. Approval of this procedure was glven by the attorney general's of- fice in Washington, the dispatch says. The revenue from such sales will ‘go to the United States treas. ury.” Somebody here virtually is~fined $50,000 because two stills were found on the property. “An old rev- enue act,” of course, is not the en- forcement. act of more recent vint- | tage;- but it such an old federal law | can be made to work in Illinois.it can be made to operate in any other state. In our opinion it is clearly un- coanstitutional. It is gratifying to learn that there are judges who think differently from Judge Wilkerson on such mat- ters. The attempt to tie up property in New York under injunction pro- ceedings before trial on charges of liquor violations' received a strenu- ous rebuke the other day from the bench, "The judge held it was clearly unconstitutional to punish in this manner before a court had had time to convict or acquit. But all such manifest travesties of justice as the Chicago case receive the unstinted approval of fanatical followers of prohibition baiting. In the estimation of entirely too many people for the good of the country, nobody ought to have judiclal rights where prohibition needs to be “en- | forced.” Under such pressure the due process of law clause in the Con- stitution goes overboard. Forfeiture of property, under any gulse, 18 repugnant to every true American’s .instinct for justice and fair-dealing, © There are fool laws aplenty,ino doubt, on the statute books which if enforced in this en- lightened day—assuming we are en- | lightened in everything as we think | we are—woulg work rank injustice. Many of these have been revivified in order to put teeth into prohibi- tion enforcement, It is to be hoped the Chieago for- | fciture case {8 carried to the Su-| preme Court of the United States. MIXING BABIES A more pressing {llustration of the need for intelligent nurses, doctors, and the system under which they | operate in hospitals never came to light than the distressing case in Detroit, where a new-born baby was | given to the wrong person and the latter has never been heard from since, The mother died soon after the ¢hild’ wag born, The father went to | the hospital.to get the child. A Rurse, just returned from her vaca- tion, received'a discharge order for the baby froin two doctors, but over the telephone. A man walked into the hosplital, and a few minutes lat- er another nurse told the nurse who got the discharge order that “a man was in the hall.” “I went to the hall and usked him if he had come for his baby; he said he had,” testified the nurse. Then without asking the man's i name, and in spite of the fact that | she had never seen the child's fa- | ther at all-=having been away when | the maternity case started—she got | the baby and gave it tothe man. Later the real father called for the | baby, but it was too late. “I pre- | sumed 'the man who got the baby wag the right man,” she admitted, Such laxitiy, it is certain, obtains in very few hospitals. Yet cases of the wrong people getting bables y the news dispatches regarding such cases which occasionally see print. Education, intelligence, system, | are the only ways to combat such | tragic episodes. Lackadaisical meth- ods lead to disaster, and discharge {orders given over the telephone, land presumption regarding parents, should have no place in such insti- | tutions.

Hawley SHOULD BANANAS AND GRAFNS BE SERVED AS DESSERT— By Fred Behrens | Last week, as you recall, I told | you how difficult dessert is to muanage. At that time I gave hints on how to deal with apples as des- sert, both in attack and defense. May I not today offer suggestions should bananas and grapes be served us dessert Bananas The novice generally half-peels a banana with the fingers and eats it with the petals thus formed droop- ing over the cuffs, Obviously, if your cuffs are not reversiblg this will give you away next night. The correct method s to peel the hanana completely and cut it into pieces of suitable size for the fork. To avoid monotony I have found that an excellent plan is to divide it into twelve pieces, one for each of the tribes of Israel, and test your Biblical knowledge by mur- muring the name of each piece to yoursolf as you consume it. Judah should of course be larger than the others, and Manasseh should be eaten in two bites. It is as well to have a cortect list jotted down on your cuff, or you will find that the difficult ones, such as Naphtali, Asher, and Zebu- lun, will be left: unrecollected on your plate. Grapes The difficultics confronting the grape-cater are enormous. On the whole, it is perhaps pre- ferablé to avoid raw grapes and to concentrate on this fruit in a manufactured and more exhilarating form, such as claret, port, or champagne.

The writer does not suggest that this plan be follow- ed here but there will be occasions | when the corps can be sent to out of town points in order to attract attention to the Hardware City of the - World, g 2 The uniforms consist of nickel trench hat, red coats with yellow piping (we got that one from Friend Wite), Sam Browne belt, white pants with blue stripe down: the sides and black puttees. The com- bination forms a masterpiece of color harmony. Right now we rise to make a mo- tion that the corps be sent to the next national convention of the American Legion, all expenses to be paid from a fund ra'sed by popular subscription, Teacher at High School Man of Many Accomplishments Mathematician, musician, suthor and artist are some of the accom- plishments which may be accredited to Robert R. Goff, director of math- cmatics in the Senlor High, Cen- tral Junior High and Nathan Hale Junior High achools, However, preasure of his duties has caused him to foresake music and art, all of his spare time being confined.to plans and ideas for the furtherance of mathematics. This is his tenth year in the school system of New Britain, Dur- ing that time the mathematics de- partment has progressed rapidly and the fact that its director has been busy at times in compiling ma- terial for text books has never hin- dered the progress of the study in the schools. Some of his books have been used in foreign countries while others have found their way into schools in every part of New England, 8o successful have been his works that the publishers are always anxious and willing to take his latest offer- ings. Mr. Goff was attracted to art and music through his love for them. He studied under one of the coun- try's greatest artists while he was teaching in Providence, R. I, and while at summer resorts he spent much time in landscape painting. Some of his oil paintings were a quired by visitors at the resorts, though he had never placed his subjects on the market. He really abandoned art while he was still a beginner, he said. y He is also a violinist and until the time he came to New Britain he played in several amateur or- chestras. Some of the published works are a second book in algebra, outlines in observational geometry, and aylla- bus of solid geometry. One of his inventions which is now in use at the Senior High school is a slide rule and book of instructions. October 11 Auniversary Of Polish Hero's Death If New Britain is truc to its tra- ditions, it will not let October 11 pass without suitably recognizing the date as marking the 150th anniver- sary of the death of Brigadier Gen- eral Casimir Pulaski, whose name is familiar to every boy and girl who has studied the history of the Rev- olutionary war. Jt is particularly appropriate that New Britain, the home of so many residents of Polish nativity or descent, should on that day manifest its interest ina hero of other generations who crossed the sea to help the American colonists win their independence from a gov- ernment which was obviously not qualified to govern. Pulaski cast his 1ot with the col- | onist not as a soldier of fortune but as a native of & land which had feit the iron heel of oppression. Fearless in the face of discouraging military conditions, he joined the struggling American army with his heart bursting with sympathy and a de- termination to contribute as much as any individual could give to its cause. Here was the ultimate ex- pression of patriotic ardor. As a reward for his services he was pro- moted to the office of brigadier gen- eral of the Continental army and chief of dragoons on September 15, 1777—151 years ago last aSturday— and in March ot the following year he was given the exalted position of commander of an independent corps | known as Pulaski's Legion. On Oc- tober 9, 1779, he participated in the siege of the British . at Savannah, Georgla, and received wounds which caused his death two days later. Thousands of miles from his homeland, on soil made sacred by the blood of patriots, Pulaskt breathed his last. Like so many other of his countrymen, he gave his life in the cause of liberty, even though it might not be the erty of his own nationals. In this re. spect he was the forerunner of le- gions of Poles who offered their bodles on the altar of human free- dom eo that the flag of these United Btates might float victoriously over widely scattered battlefields.

United States Bocoming a Nation of Elderly Men The United States may eventually become a nation of oldsters. The statistical bureau of a life insurance company foresees the time, when, if present conditions continue, the number of individuals in the country under 20 years of age will have de- clined approximately one-fourth, as compared ‘with the general papula- tion in 1920, and the number: over 65 will have more than doulled. When that time is reached, : the population in the 20-to-64-; e periods will be 57.7 per cent 5{” total. A steadily declining birth rate, the recent restrictions ‘on imm tion are largely responsible for this trend, and, according to the statisti- clans, “unless there is a decided im- provement in the mortality, the time. will come when only 31.6 per of our population will be com; of persons under age 20, while 10,2 per cent will be over 65. However, this shifting of the center of population to a higher age, which is taking place, already has had the effect of increasing the average individual earnings, since the average man above the unskilled laboring class increases in earning capacity until well past his ¢0th year. i Between 1870 and 1920, according to the company, the proportien, of young men under 20 in this country decreased from slightly under half the male population to a trifle above 40 per cent of it. During the same period, the proportion of males be- tween 20 and 44 years increased from 34.9 per cent to 38.2 per cent, while the men in the 45.64 year age group have increased during that period from 2.9 per cent to 4.5 per cent. The relative earning capacity measured by a standard which elim- inates the change in the value of the dollar, has increased more than 15 per, vent during the same period in consequence of this shifting of the age groups of the male population, “It is difficult to compute the basal age distribution that would result in years to come, if our pres- ent mortality rates and fertility con- tinued unchanged at their existing values,” says the company's Statisti- cal Bulletin. “This computation has actually been carried out using, how- ever, the 1920 figures of fertjlity and mortality. The figures 80 computed show that, even if present fertility and mortality rates remain unchang- ed, we are slated for further diminu- tion of our young contingent, and in- crease of our share of old persons, until, ultimately there would be 35.4 per cent of persons under 20, and 9.4 per cent of persons over 65. “Even this docs not represent the final scene. For there can be no doubt that, in the course of time, ul- timately the fertility of our produc- ing age groups must decline to the point that will make the population statlonary. If by that time our mortality has not materially im. proved, so that we may compute es- sentially on the basis of our present age-specific death rates, we shall find ourselves ultimately with 31 per cent of our poulation composed of person under aged 20 and 10.7 per cent over 65.” Hurricanc - Strikes Florida on 25th Auniversary of Storm By a queer prank of fate the dis- astrous hurricane which struck Florida the early part of this week, causing the detath of hundreds and the loss of mllilions of dollars’ worth of property, occurred on the anni- versary of the terrific hurricane which visited the southern atate 25 years ago. Both storms occurred on September 13 and laid waste the en- tire coast of eastern Florida. The storm in 1908 also struck the south- ern part of the state. This year's hurricane started on the ecastern curve of the Windward Islands and traveled over 1,500 miles of land and water.
