ROGERS'S LAME REPLY Lieutenant Governor Ernest .| Rogers has seen fit to ‘repiy” to | some of the statements made by Dr. Wilbur L. Cross. His “reply” is as | much of a straddle as any other straddle he ever perpetrated. Regarding the 15th amendment he says: It is entirely a matter for the federal government until such congress passes a New repealing the time as amendment amendment, and if this occurs dur- ing a possible Rogers administra- tion he will submit it to the Legis- Jature and recommend that it be ratified.

If this satisfies the rural road boosters they are easily satisfied. THE CHANGE IN THE PLANS OF CITY FINANCING Writing a piece about the city's financial problems is becoming as | precarious an undertaking as writ- ing about the weather. Scarcely had | it been all but decided to arrange a financing plan with certain details when along comes another method with slightly different details and the sum of money receivable reduc- ed. Which suits us if it suits City Hall. in the distance The only speck to switch money between the de- | partments, there may not be enough departments to do | enough good to the welfare depart- ment.

None of the $100,000 obtainable | for the street fund will be transfer- able to the welfare department in | February, it is understood. This will cause available funds for charity work to come from other deparl- ments. If there happens to be noth- ing substantial to transfer that will be too bad. Some wa: be found, in such a ¢ will have to . to provide | the money; but this is an inventive age and February is more than three months distant LASHING OF PRISONERS VS. WETHERSFIELD DUNGEON The sensibilities of many editors aroused by | suggestion o[‘[ of punishing | bandits and racketeers. A return to | barbarism, flogging is called. Yet frequently they emit editorials pro- testing against the ‘coddling of seem to have been George Wickersham's flogging as a means Others, too, join in the chorus of condemnation. Some of them arc leaders in what is known as “pri- son reform." are supposed Others students of penology. There is E. E. Dudding, for in- stance, president of' the Prisoners’ Relief society of Washington, an or- ganization which is engaged in re- habilitating prisoners. He is among | the outspoken critics of Mr. Wicker- sham. But his statement includes a sentence that the practice is now in use officially in state penitentiaries throughout the country. We do not know whether it is in use in Wethersfleld, but if the words Dr. Willlam H. Smith are worthy of consideration, barbar- ism is quite rife in the Connecticut state prison. Dr. Smith's resignation as chaplain at the prison became ef- fective on September 30. Dr. Smith is now rector of Christ Episcopal church, Schenectady, N. Y. A place where men are thrown into the dungeon in the basement, their clothes removed and their hands shackled to bars above thelr heads, and thus kept there for as long as the punishment calls for— and every day seems like a year. Or the so-called *cooler,” and the bread and water | diet. These are all modes of punish- ment. They can be, and possibly are, overdone just as easily as flogging can be overdone. Between the vari- ous kinds of punishment alluded to there might be litle choice for an expert in barbarism and probably a it they really saw the punishment, would conclude that flogging was more humane and attained its object quicker. The American prison system is ad- mittedly Instead of re- 1g men the prisons do just the arbarous. | operated on medieval principles and are vasily overcrowded.

And then we are confronted with the thesis that widespread in- ability to apprehend and convict criminals, resulting in a lack of cer- talnty in the punishment of crime. is the basic root of crime in this country. If neither reform nor punishment works, then there is a plethora of unnecessary talk about details. Mr. Wickersham has been frank enough to admit widespread failure in deal- ing with crime. Scores of other abls observers and writers before him, who have investigated the subject, came approximately { to the same conclusion. Crime reports have been made for a decade or more and dis- cussed—rarely anything more being done about them. The problem can- not be solved with sentimentality. PINCHOT AND LEVITT There are two points of similarity | between Gifford Pinchot and Prof. Albert Levitt. Both are ardently Dry, power interests. No doubt thousands of Wets are they would be glad to support men like Messrs. Pinchot and Levitt if | they were divorced from the Dry cause. That is one of the evils of Prohi- bition. For ten years it has created a schism between otherwise would be shoulder in solving other more im- | portant problems. citizens who shoulder to Contention over Prohibition side- tracks consideration of progressive | ideas, causing a large portion of the | people to think that nothing else | matters so long as the noble experi- | ment is here to argue about. Such a culmination was foreseen by a few observers a dozen years ago when the proposed law was being groomed for what was regarded by its sponsors as a final victory. These few declared it would hamstring | politics for a generation and be a millstone around the neck of prog- ress. But they could not stop the Anti-Saloon League and its ready helpers. In Wet states the power interests are identified with the Wets or at least the Straddlers. In Dry states they line up with the Drys, And pretty much along these lines other important issues are “decided.” The average man can talk an hour on the Prohibition question but can- not talk on old-age pensions, unemployment insurance or the other issues which are worthy of sound analysis are really important. five minutes and OUR “LITTLE” DEBT Wouldn't this be a terrible city if it were operated on the pay-as-you- 80 plan? As it is, our indebtedness is $7,607,000—or was last May—and on a basis of 70,000 population the per capita debt is $108.67. Subtract- ing the sinking fund—as the state does to prove it s out of debt—the indebtedness chalks up as $6,951,- 181. And this debt of $99.30 . Outside of that our prospects are good. leaves a per capita HIT-AND-RUN MANSLAUGHTER | The New York motorist who ran down and killed Sergeant Frank Stratton of the Norwalk police de- partment, and then dashed on along the Boston Post road, has been formally charged wits manslaughter and driving without a license. In our opinion a hit-and-run driv- er causing death should be charged with more than manslaughter. Tt is possible, of course, that a court will be influenced by the fact the driver attempted to cscape after the acci- dent and inflict the maximum sen- tence possible; but then, that all de- 1t is a peculiarly despicable, low and mean trait of human nature when a motorist, involved in a seri- ous accident, attempts the cowardly act of speeding away. Significant, too, 1s the large ratio of drivers without licenses who be- come involved in accidents. 25 Years Ago Today Certain points of law have been trought up which tend to show that the city is without an official school board at the present time. Officials are trying to clear up the muddle. The local post office has a work- ing force of 16 carriers and 13 { clerks.

And yet rural sections worry about city gangsters as much as cities worry about the corn borer. Still, you'd expect times like these to get the goat of a nation that thought war terrible because sugar ran short. And if flappers had appeared in sun-back bathing suits 50 years ago, their hides would have been tanned even more promptly. This great nation could like the racketeers, too, it it had some allics to do most of the work. It's easy to measure a man's un- importance.

Q. Is there such a breed police dog? A. The term police dog does not indicate a special breed but merely describes the purpose to which dogs | of various breeds can be trained. Shepherd dogs of Germany, France, | Russia and Belgium, together with pure-bred dogs of other breeds, and mongrels have been used as police dogs. The designation in- dicates the kind of education and training, and not the blood. Special training ‘has converted numbers of German shepherd dogs into high- class police dogs, for which work they are admirably adapted, because of a splendid conformation and natural inclination for trailing. Q. of what plant family is the Night Blooming Cereus? A. The cactus family. Tt blooms once every year, usually opening about 8 o'clock in the evening and closing about two the next morning.

The director .of the picture was Bryan Foy, who started to make a short, one-act feature, and became so en- yacht named as igrossed in the work that he elabor- ated it into a full length film, Q. What was the origin of candy making? A. Until the beginning of the nineteenth century the art of mak- ing sweet-meats was practiced chief- ly by physicians and apothecaries. Medicated candies are still made by drug manufacturers, and several kinds of medicine are given a choco- late coating. During the earlier half of the nineteenth century the art of candy making was an English specialty. In 1851, an international exhibition was held in London, and the unique collection of candies ex- hibited attracted the attention of other nations, especially Germany and France. Q. By whom and when was the University of the South founded? A. It was founded at Sewanee, Tennessee, in 1857 under the au- spices of the Protestant Episcopal church in the south.

New York, Oct. 15.—Some 500 plastic -surgeons in New York and at least a dozen private home sani- tariums attend to the growing de- mand of those who want noses bobbed, ears pruned and sagging cheeks ballooned. Not all are the- atrical folk aching for a whirl at Hollywood. A large number are merely beauty mad. . In New York and Hollywood — the plastic surgery centers— some 4,000 faces have been reconstructed since the advent of movies and| talkies. Boys and girls who fail in | screen tests and have the price usu- | ally romp to a face fixer to take a flybr in surgical re-vamping. | Strides have Veen made in plastic | surgery as a result of war time ex- | perimentations, but it remains a dangerous expedient. Surgeons with hig names have faced enormous suits for damages by those disfig- ured. Many men wear long beards and women heavy veils as a penalty for bungling. Despite the sucessful operations, | the conscientious surgeon admits | there is always an element of dan-| ger. Fannie Brice's nose bob was a success and permitted her further tn continue on the screen. Bellz Baker, a prime vaudeville favorite. refused to submit to the knife. Screen luminaries submitting to plastic surgery are Bebe Daniels, | Mollie O'Day ,Ruth Taylor and Vi- vienne Segal. Among the men are “It {8 Me, Georgie"—and won't someone please tell him?—Price and Harry Richman. Due to mighty sockings, Jack Dempsey and Georges Carpentier had their bridges propped up. . Valentino was the first screen hero to have his ears trimmed. It was a minor difficulty, but untii performed he was not permitted to show himself full face. Nearly all screen idols who are past 35 have had face hoists, an operation which | has become more certain in resul's | than most. New York society women travel chiefly to Paris for such operations. | In this isolation they are able to avoid {abloid publicity. However, two tragle instances of such experi- ments abroad are recorded. The lzdies have set and frozen smiles and have never returned to America. The newest of the young tempera- mental eccentrics of the town to be publicized is Werner Janssen, son of a cafe keeper. Beside writing music for several plays, he cap- tured a Rome Fellowshio for 4| composition. He accepts dinner en- gagements and shows up next eve- ning, sails for long stays in Europe, hurries back on the same boat and all that. Dear, dear! William Collier years ago sighed: “No one gets temperamental with a corner cop.” It was interesting to watch a six- foot bouncer 'handle a disturbing | drunk in a restaurant last night. The disturber roamed from table to table, wearing a hat check boy's tambourine cap. He chucked strange ladies under the chin and heckled floor performers. The beuncer stood for a volley of gut- tery epithets while patiently jockey- ing the drunk to an exit. Then after a swift smack he drop-kicked him across the sidewalk. “There goes Yale for three yards!" cried a pass- | ing tax) driver. The bouncer today, due to high- ly-kippered hooch, must be more handy than ever with his dukes. He is now called an ‘“assistant man- ager.” A number are paid $100 a week. Their problem is to coax an- noyers outside. What happens then the management. “Pan” Duffy was a bouncer in the days of McGurk’s Suicide Hall, whither forlorn ladies drifted to quaff acid in their beer. Duffy, pa- tient and amiable, would always wait to be hit. Then he would pound his victim's head on the floor, bite out a chunk of ear and spit it in his face. In 12 years of bouncing much consideration for existing agencies and investments as possi- ble.” Teague listed three: other conclu- sion ; that are hecoming even more clear to the board; “that all of the problems of agriculture will never ebsolved by legislation; that stabi- lization corporations to deal in sur- pluses are only warranted in casés of emergency and must be approach- ed with the utmost care or mora harm may be done than good, and that the law of supply and demand cannot be lightly set aside. Cooperatives Growing In spite of the suffering caused farmers by the decline in industrial stocks, Teague declared, “the or- ganization of cooperatives has been greatly accelerated by the very existence of this depression. “When farmers are in their great- est adversity,” he said, “they recog- nize the necessity of securing control of the marketing of their products ard are much more prone to act col- lectively than they are during more prosperous times, when their prod- ucts meet with a more ready sale at good prices.” he mangled nine ears.

Teague, a member of the federal farm board, told a meeting of farm- ers here today that the greatest as- sistance to agriculture that can come from federal and state aid 1is the gradual development of a system of grower-owned and controlled marketing. This conclusion, he said, was one of a group of “fundamentals” which the board has laid down for Iits guldance after its 15 months of studying agricultural problems.
