; Lieutenant Governor Trumbull.
t who is Connecticut's governor to~
‘_' day. as a result of the resignation of
'-Governor Bingham. who will pro-
hsed to Washington to take oillce as
filth Junior Senator from this State.
‘ "will clarify and elucidate. according
" to his own beliefs. many of the
points and policies not touched upo
by his predecessor. s
The Bridgeport Telegram in its
editorial column today thus com-
ments on this unusual inaugural
speech situation:
, "It would naturally be assumed
that Governor Bingham’s message to
.- the legislature, under existing cir-
‘. cumstances. would reflect the views
I of his successor as well as those of
himself. All doubt on this is ended
by Governor Bingham's explicit dec-
laration that be consulted Lieuten-
anthovernor Trumbull in the prep-
aration of the message. that they
were agreed on the points set forth
and that certain other matters were
purposely omitted. as the governor-
_‘ _to-be has ‘his own personal recom-
mendations to transmit on these as
:weil as other matters.’ "
“Viewed in this light the message
In unique in coming not merely
; from one governor. but from two.
.2 In any case it is an int eating docu-
' meat. well presented. ll of sound
.s‘ecommendatlons and worthy of
thoughtful consideration by every
7 of the state."
Two matters were stressed by
Governor Blngham which will find
a. welcome and warm reception
throughout the state. He suggested
that the following test be applied to
. every proposed law:
'; “Does it further curtail individual
. liberty? Will it encourage self-
. finance in the individual citizen or
'1 >will it lead him to becomemoro de-
';1 pendent on the government?"
3' ‘ Paternalism in government has had
its day and the pendulum ls swing-
ing back. Connecticut legislators
will do well to‘ remember this.
Governor Bingham also dwelt
at: some length on the need of fur-
,thor tightening restrictions against
,‘fedrunkon auto drivers.
.1411 too many fatal accidents on
pus highways can be traced to alco-
' befuddling the heads and hands
I» the drivers. This is an inexcus-
able offense and should be treated
isotoordingly.

The Firm Women Governor
(From tile N. Y. Sun)
Mrs. Nellies Taylor Ross became
the first woman governor the United
States has known when she was
sworn in yesterday at Cheyenne.
Wyoming. Mrs. Ross was elected to
her office on the same day Mrs. Miri—
am A. Ferguson was elected Gover-
nor of Texas. but Mrs. Ferguson will
not be sworn in until January 20.
Mrs. Ross comes to active service
in the most important public posi-
tion over filled by an American wo-
man. It is true that on October 8.
1922. Governor Hardwick of Geor-
gia. appointed Rebecce Lstimer' Fel-
ton to the senatorship vacatdo by the
death of Senator Thomas E. Watson.
This was an honor many would con-
sider greater than a Governor-ship.
But. there remained 'only a few
months of Senator Watson's term.
and.during this time Congress was
not meeting. At its next session the
certificate of Mrs. Felton's elected
successor was held up a day. and
she was seated and made a speech.
but this was courtesy on the part of
Georgia and the Senate. Mrs. Ross.
on the other hand. was elected in-
stead of appointd and begins a. term
of strenuous work.
Mrs. Rosa's inauguration is not the
first event of the year to bring W00,
men and politics into prominent as-
sociation with one another. In New
York a owman Secretary of State.
Mrs. Florence E. B. Knapp. took
office. A. number of the 122 women
elected to various positions last
November also have begun to serve.
Mrs. Ross. with these. will augment

lic positions. both elective and ap-
pointive; With women school sup-

It was while she was bathing
that she recalled the problem of
the contract. "I'll sign it whether
they agree to the change in it or
not." she decided.
She found an opportuniw to drop

Betty hesitated before responding.
"There's one change I‘d like to take
tip with you." she handed him her
copy and indicated the deleted lines.
The casting director read them
over and looked up in surprise for
an explanation. Betty was at loss
for something to say. How she
wished now that Alta had left the
contract alone.
"I Just thought." she mumbl .
"that—-but it. doesn't matter. Tends
original form will be satisfactory."

Schopenhauer made the remark
that no man can see “over his own

What he meant was that you

him. If your .ntelllgenc‘e is of a

see this provision.
"Yes. I know." she said. inwardly
berating herself for her lack of
control. "If you will have a new

know what was in my mind when 1

"Anyway. it doesn't I‘d

this was brought. he offered it to
her for her signature. "Since the
