Newark is only 15 minutes distant. When this improved service is under way the pir mail will speed across the country at an average of 145 miles an hour. This will be near- | ly four times the average speed of | railroad trains across the continent. Also important will be the fact that and does not hunt out comfortable valleys or turn around bends or from the straight line. The Newark airport will be utilized by the air mail within a few days—on October 1. Thus a serious problem is solved—that of getting an airport close enough to Manhat- tan to be convenient to the service and the public. Ciwreimiies 8.

News of whatever character must | compete with other news for atten- | tion, so that when there are several important news stories currying tavor of readers at the same time one or the other will lose in the manner of presentation. Standing alone, with all other pub- | lic excitements put aside, the hurri- cane tragedy in Florida and Porto Rico is most terrible in nature.

Only the Mississippi flood of recent memory was a more vast | example of elemental destruction. The Red Cross is at work but needs money to proceed.

It was only when chemists testified as to the quality thus purchased that an inkling was had that even bankers can be bunkoed by bootlegger: One lot of liquor, the chemists testified, consisted of colored alco- | hol; another lot seized consisted of alleged gin, which was “distilled spirits with a gin flavor.” The man who sold th not an honest bootlegger.

Kopplemann of Hart- ford, who had first class support in his native city and elsewhere and who. enters his campaign against E. Hart Fenn, perennial Republican congressman,” with a commendable surplus of energy. This being a rather peculiar year politically, Kopplemann can be pardoned for his flare of optimism. Queer things sometimes happen in politics, and Kopplemann is willing to furnish the best show in the district if enough Democrats furnish the votes. “Meet me in Washington after the clection’ and we'll all go over and visit Al Smith in the Whte House,” he in eubstance told the admiring delegates to the Hartford district convention. Thomas J. Spellacy, guiding the Democratic ocean liner in Connecti- cut, gave the brethren as much in- real political complexion in Con- necticut, he sald, is according to the vote of 1922, when Fenn only won over Dutton by around 5,000 votes. 1n that year Dutton carried Hartford by nearly 3,000 votes. For Kopple- mann to win on this basis would re- quire a change of only more than 1,500 voters, Spellacy indicated, al- though he did not quote the figures in detail. He did say, however, that there were 110,000 Democratic wom- cn in Connecticut who formerly did not vote. And that, if a fact, is go- ing some, if not somewhere. Kopplemann . started his paigning with'a little speech that indicates he Knows on which side of the toast the butter belongs. He is for a protective tariff, just like all the Democrats are this year. Never having Won many elections on any other kind of tariff this change might as well be made, say the most astute party workers. It might be emphasized that Senator David I Walsh of Massachusetts, the un- beatable, has browsed along on a protective tariff principle for years, regardiess of what the national Demeoeratic principle might be. This is a tip for many another Demo- cratic candidate. From the day he is elected Kopplemann promises to work for a high grade post office in Hartford, bullding on some side street. Which are golden words cam- Fenn been doing about that post office, anyway? The cipher hasn't even a rim, it seems. The New Britain delegation stood by Jesse Moore of Farmington but got no more satisfaction than hav- engaged in a lively battle.

But | MAKING VOTES FOR SMITH The Republican National Commit- tec has received a letter from Ben. jamin Fuelleman, member of the Wisconsin Republican state central committee saying Mrs. Mabel Wilker I Willebrandt is making so many votes for Al Smith that Wisconsin will go | Democratic. Wisconsin, however, is not the only state where Mrs. Willebrandt's speeches are making votes for Al | Smith. She, is. making votes for Al in all states where anti-prohibition sentiment is wtrong, Or where citi- gens oppose identifying chl!rch with atate. The other day' Mrs. Willebrandt addressed Methodist ministers, the | following day e addressed Pres- byterians. She seems to have some | such engagement every day. Her thesis is that prohibition is a | “moral lssue” and that it is & achigvement.” A great many voters who might vote for | Hoover dan’t think so, and the more they read of Mrs. Willebrandt's they are to resent them and the | party for whom Mrs. Willebrandt is making them. The Republicans will not be able te hold the lady politician in check, | however. Her speeches may not be | sent out under Republican auspices | any more, but that isn’t necessary— | The reporers and the press asso- clations attend to this little detail.

Mrs. Willebrandt is working for herself, not primarily for any great moral issue or spiritual achlevement. HOOVER AND PRICE CONTROL James W. Good, western cam- paign manager for Mr. Hoover, has job is to convince the farmers. that the Republican candidate had noth- ing to do with limiting the price of grain during the World War. The farmers for years have blamed Mr. Hoover for limiting the price because he was the boss of the administration's food disposal sys- tem, Months ago, when the Hoover candidacy loomed as-likely, efforts were made to show that he had nothing to do with the fixing of grain prices during the war; but it | is hard to dissipate a general be- lief that ‘has been current in the | farm belt for yeurs. What it he did? Wasn't it the right thing to’'da under the circum- stances? Why should the farmers be allowed to charge all the traflic | would bear when millions of people | in the Allied nations, not to over- | look the troops, needed American | grain to carry on? The farmers hoped that wheat | would Increase to $5 o bushel. Had | that been permitted the war would have cost the peoples of the Allied nations heavily ' and ‘ would have gravély deterred the successful prosecution of the war, It was | essential that the price of wheat should be regulated at a time when the dictates of warfare demanded such regulation. It the farmers were | unable to get un enormously high | price for grain they were thus forced to help in winning the war In a | most effective manner. | Mindful of his political future | perhaps Hoover saw to it that he was not the determining influence in this price regulation; but there can be | littie doubt that he favored it hearily. He could not have been an efficient food administrator had he | not favored such action. He never | against him by many farmers who | assert had he done so they would have known and recognized their | he didn't oppose it Decause that | would have been the wrong thing | to do. ! Now in a political campaign this | E'\'antage. But had the situation been ling part of towm Wwith pearl spats |sult because® a judge insulted him. " NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER This is the farmers’ view and in all justice it is hard to answer it. Generalities about the need for stimylating industry with meney in order to provide the essentials of war does not impreas the farmers at all; they usually ask why the same principle should not have ap- b | plied to farm products, that they too could have been stimulated aston- ishingly with §5 wheat. The farmers got sore over it and | will never forget it. Rightly * or! wrongly, they blame Hoover. They ask if there was need for govern- ment control of farm prices there aleo ‘was need for government con- trol of all other pricea. Ot course, Connecticut is not a farm belt state and the system on the whole worked to this state's ad- reversed—had the industrial situa- tion been controlled in the manner the agricultural industry was con- trolled, there would have been as much condemnation of the system here as there was in the West over farm price-fixing.

The ©ase opened yesterday in the court of Circult Judge Alfred J. Murphy, Ba- tionally known criminologist. > Willlam Cohen, - representing ‘the defendant, in his opening statement declared Kutglub killed his V)(‘ Amelia, while suffering from “som- nolentfa” and somnambuliem. Sonambulism was defined by the attorney as “a state of sleep ' which some of the senses and volun- tary powers are partly awake,” and “somnolentia” as the “lapping over of profound sleep in the domain of apparent wakefulness,” Kutzlub, testifying in his own de- fense, declared he apparently was walking in his sleep at the time he shot his wife, and told of an at- tempt at suicide after discovering the deed. He said the report of the gun awgkened him. Three children of ‘the couple .tés- tifiled their father watked 4n his sleep on an average of three times a week and asserted their parents vever quarrelled. Police who answered a call to the Kutzlub home on the night of the shooting, April 6, last, told -of find- ing the husband, grief-stricken, holding his wife in his arnis.
