Burns award at the senior high achool for combined excellence in athletics and studies?

The race . that has pro- duced writers and thinks of world- wide repute cemtinues to produce likely candidates for fame and for- tune, : There is a belief, the sons and daughters of felk who sattled this nation, a century and & halt ago are mest likely to garner such honors as accompany the fruits of endeavor. Times have changed though; the inflitration ef other than Angle-Saxon races into the make-up of this nation has been steady. As & rule they dppreciate the advantages freely offered; they study diligently and mean to rise in this, their, country. How many have done s0 I8 self-evident. There is a disposition by the descendants of the original native stock not to take lite as deriously as the youth of the comparative new. comers. In most cases their parents are well-to-do or are members of the so-called middle-class. Every- thing they need for lif¢'s journey is due to come their way. No need for these to study extrs hard; passing marks are enough. How this differs in the case of the youth of the more or less recent im- spurred to do their utmest; work, study and learn a8 much 45 possible, is the metto. Frequently it happens that the son or daughter of such a family at- tains distinction; not only frequently, but often. The Ssymanski victory, well esrn. ed, is well placed. THE GASOLINE SHOW To pucker the eyebrows with sur- | prise is well in order when contem- plating the spiritéd battle belng waged by the Standard Oil Com- pany for the privilege of erecting a gasoline filling station in Franklin square. It naturally was supposed, when the lunch cart substitute was heralded before the public, that the battle was over. The Standard is not 80 easily defeated, it seems.

This is not dene in New Britain; but on the other hand, New Britain doesn't colléct the ashes, leaving that to private col- lectors who charge per can when- ever they happen to call, sometimes regularly and sometimes irregular- ly. New Britain, being in the throes of its clean-up week, may find these few words apropos, as the saying g0es. It we were to take Middletown as.s medel in some respects perhaps the great week would be even more of a success. Anyway, Middletown, after its ad experience of twe weeks ago, is trying to be the apotisss town of the Conecticut valley. We wish it tuck. TRE DUTY ON TOBACOO Although not an infant industry, Connecticut's tebacco wrapper trade has felt the need for a higher tariff for a long time. American labor in the tobacco fields naturally must be protected from the pauper labor of foreign {sles where tobacco wrapper grows easlly. It is open to anyene's |, eyes to see how this American labor |- in Connecticut's tobacco regions needs pretection; but the question naturally arises, will the women and children utilized by this benevolent industry really obtain. much if any benetits from the higher tariff should it stick? The tooacco moguls themaelves, the owners of the pretty barns and such: like one sees scattered along the highways, naturally hope to gain. They have been fighting a losing bat- tle with the cigarettes for -years; ‘|and, so report has it, even some of their ‘hited ‘hands ‘smoke cigarettes while they work.

Congressman Fenn, an expert on the tobacco tariff—having voted for ft— does not to our knewledge smoke the five centers, consequently may not be interested in this matter. ‘The humorous side of the tobacco tariff campaign, of course, has to do with the effort to reward Florida for voting the Republican ticket.

Consequently, she intends to ac- cept this opportunity, and after she hear some of them talk. but that probably doesn’t worry the company.

We refer, of course, to the motoring troubles occasioned by street and road improvements. Such work, not possible during the good old winter time, is reserved for the spring and summer. A good begin- ning has been made, with more to come. It has started in the city with vengeance. The opening gun in the Sreet improvement campaign was fired when the West Main street en- trance to Walnut Hill park was torn 88 done prohibition enforcement can UP While a new pavement was put @et aleng as best it can. Jt will seem to many an observer that Mrs. Willebrandt is utilized as @n aviation counsel because of her prominence in the administration. It faay be, of course, that her services @re desirable because of her excep- tional knowledge of Jaw and her ex- f. . perience with its technic respecting ' _governmental application. After all, i Nowever. there must be many law- s ¥yers in the country with a vastly bet- ter knowledge of the subject, some @f them not earning any $30.000, That sum, in fact, is more than the Justices of the U. 8.

There was general rejoicing over it, and auto- ists probably did net mind the de- tour. Downtown has suffered addi- tional difficulties, however, through repairs made along West Mgin street directly oft the Center. Traf- tic. guided by cops statiéned along the debris for the purpose, has been jammed into close quarters and downtown parkers along this route of travail have been afflicted with temporary misfortune.

For a Republican president to turn thumbs down upon a Repub- lican tarift bill, however obnosious teo much to expect.
