R CIRCULATION wekk ENDING NOV. z7th, 18%0 11,057 BROADS AND TRUCKS, From the questions which were put te the state highway commissionér by rep- resentatives of truck manufacturers, owners and users concerning the time when the highways of the staté would be| n condition to take care of gross weight loads of 28,000 pounds it would indicate that it was expected that the state of Connecticut was going to -be asked to build and maintaif highways and bridges will permit of handling the freight business over the roads of the state in- stead of over the railroads, or to submit the rallreads to much the same sort of competition that the trolley lines have been experiencing from theé jitneys. When the highway commissionér de- clared that it would require an expendi- of $12,000,000 alone in new bridges in order to permit such loads upen the principle highways it is plainly indicated what lies befor. he taxpayers of Con- necticut if there is going to ba any such regulation. And that one item doesn't make any provision for the damage that might be done to reads that were not Sullt w0 catry any suweh weight in daily transpértation. That this matter along with others concerfing the highway will eome bafers the next session of the general assems bly is not improbable, It is a matter which must get attention along with Other matters eoneerning transportation, at the amto trucks- furnish & auick method of gatting goods between points has been general recognized but undes existing conditions it is 4 question whath. er the tremendous outlay that will be re- fquirtd in order to make the highways meet the requirements of the auté trucks Is going to be supported. At the pres- ent time it is necessary for the trieks to meet the highway conditions. That what is required of all users of the hways and the gemeral assembly will doubtless want to ‘know why Conneeticut faxpayers should dig Int6 their peckets to take eare of the trucking situation any more than théy should provide new trackage and facilities for the railroads. —————— WILL NEW YORK CLEAN HOUSE? With what seemd to be good reason in view of the conditions disclosed, New York is getting anxious over the amount ©f erime that is being committed and the failure of the police to cope with the #itnation. When the pressnt adminis- fration took hold there and changes wers made in the commissioners and some of the most efficient men in the department climinated it was believed that it wonld not work to the geed of conditions in the metropolis. Whether as the result of that or ineff. ciency which has developed from othes causes, New York is experiencing a erime wave that grows in size In spite of such efforts as are being put forth to eombat It. In the fact that it is suffering from much crime it doesn’f differ from a num- ber of other large centers, but the most Jerious aspect ig that It deesn’t possess ‘he ability or dispesition to get those Who are responsible. The police commis- sloner tries to claim that the many cases of crime are due t6 the newspapers mentioning them as they oceur, and thereby encouraging the ,crooks to gath-i er in the big city, but he doesn’t stop to think that the crooks judge the efMeien- ¥ of the police force and dectds to oper- there because they believe thers fa ttle chanee of ge'ting caught rather than because they have read about other cases in the papers. The reputation of any police force is known to the crooks long before the newspapers get to them. The fact that 100 murders have been committed in that eity this year without any solution being iobtained makes it ¢vident that something must be the mar. ter with those who are suppoead to up- hold law and order. Chicago has chang- ed the head of the police depa-tment and started in to put a check upon crime. Philadelphia has given warning to the effect that the police must do their duty or get out. New York is complaining About the results that it is pettin, , but will it clean house either as to zl:ejnr’m- inals or the inefficiency In its police foree? —— DIRECTING EMIGRANTS, Inasmuch as the immigration question is one which is bound to get much atten- tion in this country at the coming ses- sions of congress there cannot fail to be more -or less interest manifested in the syndicate which has been ofganized in Italy for the purpose of advising and gulding those who are leaving that eountry for other lands. It is to be presumed that this organi- zation has been started for business pur- Doses, that the object is to make a dol- lar ratner than philanthropy, from the helter skelter manner in which those seeking new homes set out on their jour- neys with little or no information as to just what they are going to do or whera they are going to settle down. They go with the idea of taking thelr chanses wherever conditions look good or to get| near friends or relatives, but they in- variably disregard opportunities which exis{ simply because they know nothing about them.

Every. party believes it can best be served by meén and women who are in sympathy with its aims and earnest to make a good re- cord for the party in power. The re- publicans feel they have plenty of good material on hand to équip the country with first, secqnd and third class post- masters of the republican faith— that such employes would be inspired to give the best possible service to the public. under appointment by a president whom they enthusiastically elected. They would want him to-make good in the con- duct of the post office department and there will be a strong effort made teo have President Harding rescind the Wil- son order soon after he assumes the of- flee, It must be remembered that the Wilson executive order placing thoge offi- eials under eivil service examination did not go into forée until the offices were filled by deserving democrats, who were not to be disturbed except for good cause. At this moment it does not seem likely the incoming party will stand for such a sweeping democratic strong hold as now exists in the post offices of the country. Postmasters are appointed for four years—and fothing in the Wilson order keeps them in oftice beyond that time. No mere executive order can change the térm of service—that can be done by con- gress alone—and thus far congress has taken no steps towards that end. All a president ¢an do evén under the Wilson order, is to reappoint the Same man, if hé wishes him to continue in the ser- vice. And then the senate may or may not confirm the nominee, as it pleases. 8o the so-called “sweeping reform” regard- ing postmasters was but a flash in the pan after all, and can be done away with by the say-so of Mr. Harding. The civil service commission states positively that such offices as first, sec- ond and third postmasters do not come under classified service. Presinent Harding mus¢ ultimately de- oide the question of rescinding that or- der and he will no doubt be guided by the advice of his postmaster geneéral and ODD INCIDENTS IN AMERICAN HISTORY “OLD, PUT’'S” DARING RIDE patriotic ‘soldier than old Israel Putnam. of Connecticuty whose name is closely as- sociated with many stirring events of the Revolutionary war. Nor was there an offcer that was more beloved han “Qld Put,” as his soldiers familiarly called him. His undaunted -courage wou for him the respcet of everybody ,and in no way was this better displayed than in his famous Tide down the hundred steps when pursued by British dragoon , at West Greenwich in 1779, This daring act of the Yankee com; mander has been one of the moot points of the anecdptal history of the Ametrican Revolution from the day of the deed to the present time. This feat was, how ever, recorded by a Revolutionary soldi who shortly aftér the daeh examined the hoof prints of Putnam's horse of the soft earth of the hillside and later inter- viewed one of the pursuers. The following story is a verbatlm copy of the diary of Jeremiah Selkrig, of Der- by Narrows, Conn., a soldier in the Con- tinental army, who made the investigation which he records: “Gen. Putnam was in the neighborhood of West Greenwich in February or March of 1779. I was there the first week of April and heard "the story of Putnam's ride and ‘went to see the traces of the horses footsteps.

This is no reflection on the postmasters personally, but they must naturdlly suf- fer less of prestige as employes of a de- partment which has met very general critiefsm during the past eight years. It seems to be pretty well understood that Mr. Harding will use extreme care in selecting his postmaster general. The advigers of President-elect Harding havé made up their minds to make a good showing in all federal departments. Be ginning with the postoffice | department they urge a man thoroughly equipped for the position, to be its head. They next urge economy, efficiency and a service which shall benefit the best business inte- rests of each community. With this in mind they believe the principal = office holder should be in sympathy with the new administration and willing to work whole-heartedly for its success. All of which seems to spell a general general turn-over in office holders when the time for postoffice appointments comes 'round! next spring. y There isn’t at this moment a ray of light a8 to how it will effect the local of- fices of Connecticut, but no democratic postmaster in that state can safely pin his faith to the Wilson order, for it holds good onmly till a president desires to revoke it. Speaker Glilett states positively that there is no foundation for the rumor that Floor Leader Mondell will relinquish that post on account of the broken leg from which he is now suffering. Mr. Mondell is even now at the Capitol daily, and al- though his leg is in a cast, he is taking an active part in preparing for the com- ing session. Mr. Mondell will be in his seat when congress convenes December th and if he finds the long hours of the sessions too fatiguing he will' call - on members of the steering committee and other leaders to help him out from time to time.
