PINCHOT When Gifford Pinchot emerged as victor in the Pennsylvania Republic- an primaries it was a surprise, if not a shock, to President Hoover. Mr. Hoover, it is widely known, does not like some things about the Pinchot doctrines. It is said by one writer that Mr. Hoover, while the primary was under way, “plotted graphs and charts and conjured with the mathe- matics of it and concluded that Gif- ford Pinchot could not win. Callers who were indiscreet enough to pre- dict that Gifford might win, caused Mr. Hoover deep pain.” tepublican repudiation of Pinchot in Pennsylvania centered in Philadelphia. Secretary Mellon and the Pittsourgh machine is reported as favoring Pinchot rather than swinging toward the Democrat, though the choice is hard. Elsewhere throughout the great Keystone state there is a spirit of distinct insurg- ency, and it is because Pinchot has sticks” that has strong backing in the his chances of being elected govern- or of Pennsylvania still remain fair. The Old Guard cabal against Mr. Pinchot Bill whenever one “leading Republicans” of “repudiating” Mr. ely another way of is headed by Vare of Pennsylvania; and reads of Philadelphia Pinchot it is mer ying they arc lining up with the regular Vare machine ford.

Mr. Hoover is a devout believer in the | eficiency and prices charged by private enterprise in the utility flelds, especially the electrical field. irks The “test” in Pennsylvania is one f the public Pinchot's utility views even morec than it is a test of the wet and dry | issue.

THE WATER PLAN | Signs point to an early attempt | to an agreement between | Hartford and New Britain regard- ing contested water rights on the make | east bank of the Farmington river. | Charles ¥.

How is it that railroads such as the Pennsy are so intent upon buy- ing up other lines, when they might serve the public better by concentrat- ing upon their own lines? HARDSHIP IN THE STOCK TRADE One stock and bond house after another has been hitting the rocks of late. Unfortunately a prominent firm in Connecticut has been among the number. Frozen assets usually are the cause. That means assets which are not liquid, which cannot be realized on in the*market without a serious loss of capital. During, the hoom period in the stock market the brokers' industry expanded like nothing else. In the popular mind, a stock and bond salesman was someone who made | lots of money with very little effort. For the most part, this possessed an element of truth. Today the reverse is the case in a majority of instances. Instead of expansion there is retrenchment, with the iron hand of economics tak- ing charge. Last week a considerable number of former stock exchange firms sev- | cred connections, 'the senior partners selling their seats; small houses have been absorbed larger firms; branch offices heen discon- tinued. The highly developed security dis- tribution system is finding itself in the position of a manufacturer who has more equpment and plants than by have he needs. “Some day" the situation may be reversed; but security houses cannot live on expectations of the future while overhead continues. Most of them will remain with us, and when the public turns stock- minded again the so-called frozen assets will begin to melt. even DEPRESSION RESPONSIBILITY CANNOT BE AVOIDED A political party does not have the power to create prosperity, nor docs it have the power to maintain pros- perity; but for generations the grandoldparty has been dinning il into the cars of American citizens that it alone had the power to create prosperity and it alone had the pow- er to maintain prosperity. No later than 1928 Mr. and his associates were telling the country that a continuance of pros- perity depended entirely upon the clection of the Republican ticket. Not once, but whenever a speech was made was there recourse to this Hoover claptrap. The people, or a majority of them, very evidently believed the fairy ! tales. President Coolidge and Secretary Mellon—back in the piping days— declared soaring stock prices were justified as reflecting great Repub- lican prosperity; and even when there were rumblings from men of substance who were becoming a lit- tle dubious of the cternal skyrocket- ing, Secretary Mellon repeatedly made statements that he saw no cause for alarm; and the next day stocks usually went up further. Now the grandoldparty wishes to its toppling and insccurc house. It wishes to avoid responsibility for having built it. Such responsibility cannot be avoided. There isn't a business man in the country who, if he took the trouble to turn back in the files of various publications and read the wild prosperity statements of Messrs. Coolidge and Mellon—not to overlook the fervid campaign state- ments of Mr. Hoover when he was running for the presidency—would not yodel aloud in laughter.

Never yet has a nation cured it- telf of dumbness by blaming the Reds or Al Capone. At any rate a wicked cause never is disgraced by one of its lcaders stealing the funds. The nobody has one consolation. He doesn’t shrink when he gets away from his home town. If three secretaries shield the boss, it isn't because he feels im- portant. He's a sucker for a dotted line.

Not all idle men can turn rack- eleer. There are just so many yel- low streaks to work on. You can fool part of the people all the time, but not enough of them to make idiotic talkies prof- itable. Americanism: Tipping our hats to professional gamblers who make millions in stocks: thinking a cler- gyman wicked if he tries it. Simile for today: As hard to fool as a village gossip watching a wid- ower. Present indications are that America never again will be handi- capped by a shortage of trained liars for propaganda work.

A re-| cent one opened on 41st street near Park avenue. Heretofore they have been confined to eat-and-run lunch- ers down town.
