Hiram Bingham will more than Biake yood as governor of Connecti cut. But the Waterhury lieoubli .can quorcs John N. Buckley of ,Union, organization leader, as fear ing that Bingham aa governor will not take orders from the state He . publican bosses. Our belief is that both journalistic observers may be right; that the col onel -will make good in ratio to the .distance he keeps between himself end the state bosses. ! The Bridgeport paper scintillates In its laudation of Colonel Bingham. It speaks thusly: "Whether as preceptor of pol itics and history at Princeton, as '. a South American explorer, as a pflot aviator in the army school at Miami, as commander of the largest allied air school, during the war in France, as lieutenant governor of Connecticut or as a professor at Yale, Hiram Bing ham ha thus far performed every task that he has under taken, and performed it with distinction and brilliancy." John N. Buckley of t'jsion, who opposed the nomination of Col. Bingham until such opposition be came futile, especially after John M. Wadhams of Goshen r sed to run for the nomination, 'iently -believes' this "distinction and bril liancy" 'Will be altogether contrary to the docility that the state organi zation has sx right to expect. Buclt-'J-y. according to the Waterbury Re publican, eonferrei with J. Henry Koraback about it, but the latt.:r re fused to permit his confidence in Col onel Bingham to be shaken. . '. Quoting several delegates who st- tended the Republican convention, the Republican says: "While it had generally bc n , accepted up until the time of t lie s convention that Lieut. Gov. Bingham, if elected governor, would be more of a machine i controlled executive than even .! Gov. Marcus Holcomb, many i delegates around convention ; ' headquarters expressed the be lief that the candidate would surprise people after lie got in to ofhee and show an indeppnd ' ence which had never b-en hint - et at by his previous acts." The story goes on to say that after the colonel is elected, J. Henry Ror aback, when he visi's tne state house, will have to cool hi hceis in the ante-room while waiting to nee the governor, "the same as a human '., being." But, knowing J. Henry's record, we do not hesitate to assert . that the gentleman from Canaan knew what he was doing when he made his choice. There Is the usual talk In the platform about the dangers confront, tug the nation through bureaucra cies In Washington, Republicans nowadays ate taught to bcllov that bureaucracies are bad for the people, end that congress has been acting badly for the people, and that even the 'legislatures which have ratified some amendment have been bad to the common folks.' The only person who has'uecn good to us Is President Coolldgc and the Republican cabi net. State's rights in local matters ts HKiiln heard from. There is no defin ition as to tho scope of local mat ters. There may lie some supposed ly local attaint, like child laBor, which on the surface are local but which have a national effect. The platform, like all Innocuous docu ments of the kind, did not go '"to the child labor amendment, probably fearing to come Into opposition with the professed belief of President Cooli tge on this matter. The plat form commends the president's "straight thinking," however, so by deduction It would Include his Ideas on the child labor amendment. But probably not a Republican politi cian in the state would admit this much. The usual reference to state achievements is noted. It mentions revision of the state medical practice act without going into the matter very vigorously. Careful handling of the state's fi nances is lauded. This is the strong point of the state administration, but Gov. Templcton, who did not work glove In hand with the slate organization, is entitled to some of the credit. ST. LIKE A XEW SHAFT. Perhaps you have not taken pains to notice It, or you have taken It for granted the soldiers' monument In the center has been cleaned, scraped and polished up, after a summer of work that caused it to be surround ed by unsightly scaffolding. It formerly was of a dark-complexion; today Its stone is as white as the original stone from the quar ry. The monument never looked hand somer, even when it was originally constructed. Although it may be the same monument, the setting .today Is superior than it was when erected years ago. Indeed, there Is scarce ly a monument in the state that has a more handsome setting of trees and surrounding grass, yet being in the heart of the city. The monument Is the heart of the community. It is an impression that visitors most easily carry away with them. As small monuments go It Is a model of the sculptor's art. Need less to say, it Is a fitting tribute to the valor of the boys in blue who left this vicinity at the call of Lin coln to prevent the union from being severed. quarry. Happily, the fox has s sport ing chance, and In tho particular case in point the animal or several of them won the argument, as nons were captured by the brave sports men following the hounds. The horses used to engage In this sport likewise get a taste of modern civilized sport, being compelled to Jump fences and engage tn stunts dangerous to life and limb. But the patient and willing animals might be assuaged by the thought tf they can think deep enough that tholr riders also are tn danger; Indeed, I three of the women In the gay hunt ing party were "thrown" from their mounts, one of them being stunned, The prince, remarkable to relate, was not thrown, although his mount refused to Jump one fence, so that he had to ride around it, something that seemed more reasonable In the first place. Kox-huntlng is a "sport" that dates from the ancient days in Kng land when the countryside gentry had to have something exciting as an antidote to tho sleepy lives they led. In our modern times it is an anachronism and merely survives because antique Ideas appear better than any other to some people. For a' crowd of well-fed, well-clothed, well-mounted folks to charge behind a pack of hounds at one or two un fortunate and terrified foxes appears to violate every Instinct of sports manship. If a' few unarmed, sportsmen were being tracked by fifty hungry wolves the tables would be turned, and the spoKtsmen would be In the same un enviable position as the hunted fox. Naturally, our sympathy would go out to the sportsmen.

"' The state platform adopted at the New Haven convention of the Re- i - publican party of the state was a formal concession to the need for '. writing one. Hardly anyone nowa- days pays much attention to politi cal platforms, relying more upon what the candidates say during the 1 course of a campaign, and realizing from experience that platform utter ances are larg"ly bombast. A proposal that the Ku Klux Klan be condemned in the paitform was " 'negatived by the resolutions commit tee. The state G. O. P. is no more anxious to interfere with the rights of Kluxism than the national party, and an attempt to name the hooded organization probably was ngarded as effrontery Favoring of a federal constitution al amendment to permit electors to vote on proposed constitutional amendments is a plank designed to prevent ratification of supposedly unpopular amendments by the legis lature. That this would be the re sult, however, Is by no means cer- tain. If the people of the state this year were to vote upon the proposed - child labor amendment its friends would have every reason to suspect that it stood a b:tter chance of be ing ratified by Connecticut than It ' has in the legislature. Legislatures sometimes vote for unpopular sets; tut they as often do not vote for popular reforms. It Is possible that .persons who think it wpu!d be hars- "LETHARGY" IX POLITICS Observations- are being made that the nnlitical campaign so far has been suffering from lethargy, apathy and disinterestedness. The critics appear to think that heated political conversations are necessary upon every street corner and that fist fights over campaign electioneering should be common In order to give the impression of deap seated inter We may be wrong, but we think the present campaign is exceedingly interesting. And we think the pub lic Is keyed up to its possibilities. Two complications this year have served to kindle a deep current of interest quite irrespective of. the po litical issues: The machinations of the Ku Klux Klarf and the projection of the third party Into the campaign. The Klan, of course, is an under current that sometimes, but not al ways, gets to the surface. Klansmen claim there are 12,000.000 members of the hooded order in the United States a claim that probably is exaggerated and the third party chieftains claim able to total at least 70 votes in the electoral college a claim that likewise may be exag gerated. If the Klansmen have anywhere near the number of votes claimed for them consider what it means in politics. If they all voted en bloc they could swing the election; but fortunately there isn't a remote chance of that, as there are Repub lican and Democratic Klansmen, the G. O. T. variety being in the north and the others In the south. And in the case of the third party, consider what it will mean to the country if even part of the claims of the La Follette chieftains come true. It would throw the election in congress sure at fate, and nobody can tell what the outcome would be. If such things should not lend In terest to the election, then to be In terested in such an event is Impossible.

Reports of the New Brit ain girls who went to Summit Lake Industrial camp last June were given, Alda Marley tola of tne po litical day at the camp wjfcen all the girls were divided Into the three parties taking part in the present election. Stump speeches and a political parado proclaimed the stand of the different parties on ourstions of particular Interest to Industrial workers. An industrial exhibit night was described by Eliz abeth Kane. The girls from the different cities explained their work varying from the making of expensive chlnaware In Trenton to the manufacture of shoes in Brockton. This sounded so interesting that It was decided to have an Industrial night In New Britain. Miss Gertrude Rogers will sponsor the project and It is hoped to have every industry In New Britain represented with the girls explaining the different processes that they work on. Such an ex hlblt was successfully worked out by industrial girls In Worcester, Mass., and oroved of community interest. The many pictures wnicn tne gins took at the camp were explained by Alml Dresscl after which the girls held an amateur theatrical. At the meeting of the Industrial committee Mrs. Sterling and Miss Bromley offered to get suppers for the industrial .girls twice a month at the Y. W. C. A. after swimming on Tuesday evenings. Next Tues day evening the girls will go in swimming at o'clock after which they will hold a "dog-roast" out of-doors. Each girl will bring her own supper and coffee will be pro vided;, from the club's funds. The first business meeting ot the Industrial Girls club will be held Thursday evening. September IS, at the Blue Triangle club room when nominations for new officers and committees will take plscs.

MOST of us remember the days of the parlor, a sacred place where the minister was entertained, where children peeked in as in a palace of wonders, where a speck of dirt was a tragedy to the housewife, where the family entered only on Sunday eniag. Now all that is changed. r. The parlor has bee replaced by the living room, a place where .the family gathers, where guests are entertained, where the true atmosphere of home is most prevalent, where the housewife of today puts forth her best effort and exhibits her highest artistic talent . More than ever are the furnishings of the living room important; they contribute to the comfort of family and guests. It should be inviting and seem hospitable. Its furnishing exhibits the taste of ' the matron. 'It may well be said that a family, its social station and its charae-v teristics, is known by its living room. It is a sort of show place; therefore, its furnishings should be comparable with the position in life at which a family desires to be appraised. C. C. FULLER CO. 40-50 Ford St. v Hartford DR.
