THE INDEPENDENT PRE8S

Never before in the history: of theXmerlcan press have so many news-papers deserted the old fashionedartisan concept of duty in favor ofin avowed Independence of all partycontrol. The Horace Greeleys, Hen-ry Wattersons, Charles A. Danas, St.Claire McKelways, and in our ownstate the Charles Hopkins Clarks andAlfred E. Burrs, have disappearedas partisan editors. Their successorsare men of equal ability and solici-tude for the general welfare buthey are unable, to believe that all;he human virtues reside in onegroup.

Today. It is the practice of prac-tically every newspaper to open itscolumns to ..correspondents who dif-fer passionately from their opinions!provided the protests axe expressedin proper language. Even the lastof the party organs in New York,the Herald-Tribune, admits to itspages letters of this character, asdoes the Evening Post whose parti'sanshlp is a bit more unreliable. TheTimes and The World, which havetheir political preferences and pre-conceptions, are frequently'found insevere criticism of both partieswhile their pages bristle at periodswith caustic reprobation.

The latest exhibition of independ-ence is furnisbed by The New YorkEvening Bun and The New YorkTelegram, two newspapers whichare sunporting Mr. Hoover for Pres-ident. The nomination of FranklinD. Roosevelt tor Governor by thedemocrats appeals to their sense ofsuperior fitness and they have addedhim to their list of political favor-ites. We have thus two largely cir-culating newspapers in that greatcity which take under their wings arepublican candidate for office anda democrat, a quite unusual circum-stance. The odd feature of The Sun'sattitude is that it is supporting Mr.Hoover because ..he will carry on"the Coolidge policies'" and support-ing Mr. Roosevelt In, disregard othe fact that he has been nominatedto carry on the Smith policies. Thisloads the Hartford Times _ to com-ment: "Politics not only makesstrange bed"fellows; it makes edi-tors lie half in and half out of thsame bed"—New Haven JournalCourier.

Parents Arrange Marriasesthe Burials.

Washington.—The Burials who re-cently Joined the Mongols la destroyIng a portico of the Chinese Easternrailway came Into the spotlight twoyears ago when the liussian govern-ment banned wife stealing amongmembers of the race la Siberia.

Theft of wives Is not a traditionalcustom among the Buriats. Marriageamong them usually is effected throughan exchange of children arranged bytheir parents,'* says a bulletin fromthe Washington headquarters of theNational Geographic society.

How Wlvss Are Exchanged."When the parents of a young

Buriut swain decide be should havea wife, they consult the parents of aneligible mulden and offer a daughterin exchange for her hand. If thereis no daughter to exchange, the son'swife Is. In effect bought by a gift ofcattle. Frequently, among the well-to-do Burlats, the bride's dowry offurs which would be valued at thou-sands of dollars on an American furmarket, offset the "price' paid for her.

"Buddhist temples with their pray-er wheels which 'say' thousands ofprayers per revolution and Christianchurches are found In Buriat villages;but both Buddhists and Christians at-tend Shamanlatlc rites at some of themountain-top shrines. Shamanism Isnature worship. Adherents of Sha-manism believe that rain, the rivers,the wind and the mountains are peo-pled by gods. The higher Into themountain the Shamanlst goes to wor-ship, the greater favor he receivesfrom the dleties. Frequently worship-ers climb to the mountain-top shrinewhere, amid chanting and weird con-tortions of Suamanlst priests, theBnriats make their sacrifices on a sa-cred, lire.

"The Buriat and his horse are In-separable companions. A horse oftenIs tied to his owner's grave to starveto death In order that it may followhim In death. Good horses are scarceso the heirs sometimes manage to ap-pease the gods by substituting a use-less hack, or they tie the good saddlehorse by such a flimsy thong that Itsoon frees Itself and wanders back tothe village.

"Few automobiles have penetratedthe land of the Burlats, which lies Inregions adjacent to the southernshore of Lake Baikal.

"Tea drinking and smoking arecommon habits of the Buriat, bothamong adults and children. Some ofthe tribesmen wear broad silk girdlesIn which they carry their pipes andtea cups.

"When the Russians first met theBurlats In the Sixteenth century, thelatter were true children of nature.Many of them made their living byfishing and hunting, while a few werestock raisers. The Russians taughtthem agriculture, and succeeding gen-erations of Burlats surpassed the av-erage Russian farmer In farming."

More Cotton DressesWorn, Inquiry Shows

L.HB history of Halloweenbean a carious resem-blance to that of some Ofthe other red letter days onour calendar, notably St.Valentine's - day, Easterday and Christmas day, Inthat it was originally apagan festival which was

taken over and Incorporated intoChristian religions observances andlater changed so much that a greatdeal of Its religions significance waslost As a result. Its traditions are amixture of the pagan and the Chris-tian, considerably modified In recentyears by modern commercialism.

Halloween had Its origin In therespect and homage paid by ancientnations to the sun. The pagans ofthose days, whether Egyptian, Greekor Roman, assigned a place of greatImportance In their pantheon to thesun god, the giver of light and heatand life. The sun marked out forthem the time of work and the timeof rest; It divided the year* Into sea-sons; It made possible bounteouscrops'of grain and fruits and under Itswarming rays flourished all that wasbeautiful and splendid on this earth.

So It was only natural that theearly pagan should set aside a dayof grief for the ending of summerwhen his beauty and splendor de-clined under the frosts and winds ofthe coming winter, when the earthfell under the spell of the evil powersand was not to be free from themagain until the coming of spring. Butmingled with this grief over the pass-Ing of summer was the joy which hefelt as he. beheld the golden harvestof the autumn and In his heart he felta song of thanksgiving for the rip-ened grain and fruit The deity towhom the Romans were accustomedto render their thanks for these giftswas the goddess, Pomona, and theywere accustomed to set apart October31 or November 1 in her'honor as afestival day In which nuts and apples,representing the winter store of fruits,figured prominently.- The ancient drulds also held theirautumn festival on or about Novem-ber 1 and lighted fires In honor oftheir sun god in thankfulness for theharvest They believed that on theeve of this festival, Saman, lord of

- death, called -together the wickedsouls who bad been condemned with-in the past year to Inhabit the bodiesof animals. That the. main celebra-tion of Halloween In some countriesis derived straight from these druldceremonies Is shown by the fact thatIn parts of Ireland October 31 Is stillcalled "Oldhche Shamlma" or theVigil of Shaman. In general, though,Halloween represents a blending ofthe druld autumn festival and theRoman festival In honor of Pomona.

With the coming of Christianity. this feast day, as were many other

pagan, festivals, was appropriated bythe early Christian leaders and be-came All Saints' or All Souls' day.These leaders could not easily denythe existence of the pagan gods andconvince new converts to the faith,but.they explained them as the chil-dren of evil, their power that of blackmaple. So It came to be the universal

belief that these spirits of darkness,driven from their old haunts, badtaken refuge In caves and cavernswhere they held ghostly revelry allthe year 'round, but on Halloweenthey came out to practice their magicand do harm to men.

Good people were always in greatdread of these evil spirits, and.therewas much awed whispering as Hal-loween approached. Some came forthas copper-colored birds to kill farmanimals. Some stole babies, leavingin their place changelings, goblinswho were old In wickedness while stillin the cradle. Sometimes they wouldsteal a bride to take her to theirdark lair, while the bridegroom be-moaned her. disappearance.

If one wished to escape the lurkingdevils on this day be must not permithimself to be caught unaware. Togive a stranger milk or'fire, to 4>ringhome a fiery thorn, to listen to ghostlymusic might deliver one into theirhands. And If one went to the spiritrealm, he would find upon his returnthat hundreds of years had elapsed,and that he himself, had become aged,decrepit and blind.

No wonder, then, that the goodpeople took every precaution to driveaway the powers of evil. Vorches,when carried from west to east,would send them scurrying awaythrough the air. In Scotland the vil-lage youths were wont to go fromhouse to house on Halloween crying:"Ge's a peat t' burn the witches." Totie red thread around the throat, tosew a slip of witch elm in the doublet,to hold up a wand made from therowan tree, all served to protect onefrom magic.

It was a terrible thing to be bornon Halloween. In Ireland the story Isstill told of the fate of Red Mike,who "was a queer one from his birth,an' no wonder, for he first saw thelight, atweendusk an* dark o1 a Hal-loween eve." At a party a testproved Mike's soul to be all blackand foul. In anger he cried, "I've thegift o' night, I have, an' on this daymy curse can blast whatever Ichoose." At that the priest showed acrucifix and he ran away howling, todisappear through a bog Into theground.

The pagan origin of the festival Isseen In many of the traditions which

still cling to Halloween. Thus thelighting cf bonnres serves the doublepurpose of keeping away devils,witches and other mischief-making be-ings. In accordance with the belief ofthe early Christians, and It also per-petuated the druidlcal custom of light-Ing fires In honor of the sun god inthankfulness for the harvest, Theuse of apples and nuts In our presentHalloween celebrations is a survivalof the druld ceremonies In whichthese edibles represented the winterstore of fruits for which the son godwas thanked. They were also usedIn the divinations and consulting ofomens which gradually became a partof the celebration of this festivalwhich teas so tinged with superstitionby the early Christians. Indeed, Insome countries, Halloween Is alsoknown as "Nutcrack Night" becauseof the custom of using nuts as ameans of discovering the course loveaffairs-will take.

In regard to the use of nuts in theHalloween festival an early writerobserves: "The first of Novemberseems to retain the celebration of afestival to Pomona, when it Is sup-posed the summer stores are openedon the approach of winter. Divina-tions and consulting of omens attend'ed all these ceremonies in the prac-tice of the heathen. Hence, In therural sacrifice of nuts, propitiousomens are sought touching matrimony:If the nuts lie still and burn together,it prognosticates a happy marriage ora hopeful love; if, oh the contrary,they bounce and fly asunder, the signis unpropltlous. I do not.doubt butthe Scotch fires kindled on this dayanciently burnt for this rural sacri-fice."

Apples are used In various ways Inthe divination ceremonies. It was be-lieved that If a maiden ate, an applebefore a mirror, brushing her hair thewhile, the face of her future husbandcould be seen In the mirror peepingover her shoulder. Among the Irishthere were certain conditions attachedto this ceremony. The girl must stealan apple for use In the ceremony andalso steal a knife .with which to pare*it Then, standing before the mirrorat midnight she would repeat "Withthis stolen knife, I pare this stolenapple and as I cast the paring overmy life shoulder I command that theface of ray lover appear." It was alsobelieved that If man or maiden at Hal-loween time should throw the paringover the shoulder upon falling to theground It would form the letter ofthe name of the future husband orwife.

In Scotland was observed the cere-mony of pulling kale stocks, or stalksof colewort Young people were ledhand in hand, blindfolded, Into thekaleyard, or garden, and eacb pulledthe first stalk he met with; they thenreturned to the fireside to Inspecttheir prizes. As the stalk was big orlittle, straight or crooked, so shouldbe the future wife or husband; thequantity of ylrd (earth) clinging tothe root Indicated the tocher (wealth),or^gavry; the taste of the pith orcustocb Indicated the temper. Thenthe rants, or stalks, were placed overthe door, and the Christian namesof the first to enter thereafter werethose of the. Individuals whom the re-spective parties were to marry.

This creatorhas gone la heavily for fancy weave*of a very attractive character. Theyare luxurious and subtle In blendingof colors and depart utterly from tra-dition,

One particularly striking material Isa beige homespun, loosely woven Indiagonal lines and over-patterned witha check in red-brown and black. Asoft wool fabric designed for coatsand suits is In two tones of beige,woven with a small scattered geomet-ric figure, Among tbe varieties pre-sented Is one with loosely spun, openweaves, and.still others with a wide

Besides these,are new designs ofgeometric type, modernistic In feeling,woven in gray, beige, black, brownand tbe rich dull reds. These are pat-terned in two tones of the same coloror In contrasts. Some ultra sportscoats are shown In three tones of acolor.

It is inevitable in this day of lux-ury In dress that some of even themost practical coats should be trimmedwith fur. The fur, however, is usedwith restraint. On the coats of tweed,cheviot and the novelty materials acollar and cuffs, or often a collar only,of fur is shown. The kind and colorof tbe fur depend upon the fabric andsomewhat upon the cut of the coat

In a recent style revue of Importancemany of the coats bad high over-fold-ing collars of fur, some with cuffs ofordinary depth or extending to.theelbow. Tbe effect designers are em-phasizing Is the use of fur for prac-tical reasons only on sports and trav-eling coats, though they admit that afur collar changes somewhat the typeof wrap to one that may be worn formore occasions than one without fur,which softens and slightly elab-orates It

Many new furs are used on sportscoats, most of them being of betterquality than those of the past fewseasons. Tbe foxes, Siberian lynx,

.baby wolf, sliver raccoon, badger,Labrado. beaver, karakul, opossum,and rabbit are among the staples.Some of the nondescript flat furs areused, dyed to tone with the material.

Rtnalssanca of Broadcloth.Afternoon coats are emphasizing the

renaissance of broadcloth. This ma-terial, which has always the quality ofelegance, is being used by the mostprominent couturiers in their latestdesigns for town wear and In tbe moreelaborate models for formal occasions.The most fashionable color Is beige,aitil black is very smart.

In this type of coat many dissimilarstyles are shown. Some from im-portant bouses are cut with a straightsilhouette, so that Interest Is centeredon the fineness of texture, trimmingand lining.

Sea Superstitions .

I N THE time of Sir Francis Drake,people supposed the world to be

composed of two parallel planes, theone at a certain distance from th*other. In reference to this space. Itwas commonly said that Sir Francishad "shot the gulf," meaning that hi*ship had turned over the edge of theupper plane so as to pass on the wa-ters of the under. There Is an oldpr.tnt showing Drake holding a nlntnl

It Is believed that sea gulls retiringto land foretell a storm.

Dolphins and porpoises, wben theypiny about, are said to foretell astorm. Sea-urchins thrusting them-selves In the mud, or striving to covertheir bodies with sand, foretell astorm.

Mirny fishes possess the power ofkeeping themselves secure amidst theturmoil of a storm by affixing them-selves to a rock. Among these Is tberemora or sucking fish, which the an-cients believed had the power to im-pede the course of a ship.

total gradually increases until thepeak of summer traffic arrives onthe Sunday preceding Labor Day,on which day the total number ofvehicles passing over the bridge was31.415!

On the ordinary mid-week day inAugust, traffic attains its peak onthe Post Road between 8 and 9o'clock in the evening during whichhour about 1,800 cars pass, nearly60 per cent of which are headedeastward in the direction of NewHaven! Between the hours of 2'and11 p. m. on the ordinary August day,more than 1,000 cars per hour passover the bridge. The balance oftraffic.on the ordinary day runsslightly eastward, or toward New-Haven. There is a vast differenceon the Labor Day Sabbath, how'ever. The peak arrives between 5and 6 in the afternoon with an hourlytotal of 2,200 cars, nearly 60 per centof which are headed west towardNew York. On that day, from 9 a.m. to 3 p. m, the hourly total isbetween (1,000 and 2,000 vehicles,while from 3 to 3 p. m. it rises be-tween 2,000 and 3,000, and from 8 p.m, to 1 a. m. it is more than 1,000every hour. :

Traffic checks over the bridge dur-ing the wee hours plainly show thatmany people take advantage of theLabor Day rest to remain out mostof the night before. Ordinarily at 2a. m. the hourly total is about 122cars, the total dwindling to 77 carsbetween 3 and 4 a.m. On the nightpreceding the holiday, nearly 600

The Haddam-East Haddam bridgeover the Connecticut River carriesabout 1,300 cars a day during thesummer. While its peak hour isconstantly between 4 and 5 p. m., itspeak hour traffic more than doublesbefore the holiday.

About 6,700 cars pass over theMiddletown-Portland bridge eachAugust day and the total rises tof.,200 on the holiday eve. The peakcomes between 7 and 8 at night withthe flow of traffic evenly balanced.On the big Sabbath, the peak occursbetween 5 and 6 with a total of 360vehicles and with the trend towardMiddletown.

The Weetport bridge over theSaugatuck River was checked overtwelve instead of 24 hour periods.This span, also on the Post Road,is passed by an average of 11,100vehicles between 7 a. m. and 7 p. m.on summer days. The total on La-bor Day Sunday was 16,945 and thepeak, between 6 and 7 was 934 carsas compared with an ordinary 6 to6 peak of 617. It is probable that ona 24 hour basis, the traffic on this

not of Mr. Hoover's political faith,but he knew him well. Mr. Lanecould rise above mere partisanship;he never forgot that his first obliga-tion was to his America. His esti-mates of men and measures werebased upon something more substan-tial than, political considerations.Perhaps he came to have a high re-gard and warm fondness for HerbertHoover because he saw in him qual-ities that had something of a coun-terpart in his own makeup. Be thatas it may, the published "Letters ofFranklin K. Lane" bear eloquent wit-ness to the caliber of man the Re-publican party has nominated.

Writing under date of Oct. 2.1919.to E. S. Bradley, a close friend, Mr.Lane said: "Hoover can be elected.HP came home modestly and madea splendid speech. We need a manof Kreat administrative ability andof supreme sanity, who can lead usinto quiet waters, if there are any.'

At that time, it will be remem-bered, Mr. Hoover bad just returnedfrom Europe where he had been en-gaged in organising food supples forGermany, Austria, Czechoslovakia,Poland and the Balkan States, serv-ing also as chairman of the Americanrelief administration engaged in chil-dren's relief in the war-stricken coun-tries. He was beng much talkedabout for the Republican nominationin 1920, and many Democrats wereeven hoping that he might be per-suaded to accept their nomination.He was not looked upon as belong-ing to any one party, but rather as

Besides he had actual-ly advocated the election of a Dem-ocratic Congress in order that theg3vcrncv>nt might function efficient-ly at a crucial time for the nation;not that he had any liking for theDemocratic party as such, but be-cause he knew bow hopeless it wa<for a Democratic President to getalong with a Republican Congress.Country came first with him; poli-tics was a secondary consideration.

(Following the election of Harding,Sec. Lane wmte to Benjamin WeWheeler about the advisers that thenew President might draw about him.

"Hoover may or may not have acabinet place," he said, "but Illsbrain is the best thing working inAmerica today on our questions."

President Harding had the goodsense to draft Hoover as secretaryof commerce, with what results near-y everybody knows. The new secre-tary found a department that gavehis great organising ability abundantopportunity.

ANNOUNCINGThe Formal

OPENING

These few extracts from Sec.Lane's letters carry conviction be-cause they are not a partisan tributeto Herbert Hoover, but the Impartialestimate of a life-long Democrat ofbroad vision and clear understanding.One of Mr. Lane's remarks appearsto be particularly applicable to thepresent campaign. "I have neverseen," he once said to a friend, "any;ood come by blurring an Issue, by

personal conflict or antagonisms. Ihave not time to waste in fightingissues. To fight for a thing the bestway is to show its advantages andthe need for it. My only solicitudeis that the things I care for shouldnot be held back by personal dis-putes."

That is the course Mr. Hoover isnow pursuing. He is not engagingin personal conflict. He- is not wast-ing his time replying to criticisms.He is addressing himself to the larg-

MUSEUM OF RARE ANTIQUES

(continued from last week)A survey of Mr. Fuessenlch's col-

lection Is not complete without avisit to the barn. It contains an oldstage coach which during the year1790 ran on a regular schedule be-tween Hartford, Willimantlc andNew London. It is a lofty vehicleeasily set bouncing up and down onits leather springs. It is paintedyellow and has red leather uphol-stery. The seats Inside are gainedby an Iron step which may be foldedup under the body.

Another ancient vehicle in thebarn is a 100-year-old hearse, withblack curtains and tassels. It issmall and would barely admit oneof the old style tapering coffins, eventhe space under the driver's feet be-ing utilized to accommodate the nar-rower end of the coffin. There is alegend to the effect that on thehearse's last trip, an extraordinarilylarge man was conveyed to his lastresting place, and his coffin was Ofsuch proportions that it could notbe placed inside but had to be strap-ped on top., -

The extent of Mr. Fuessenlch'scollection is the more amazing whenone learns that it has been the prod-uct of only 10 years of searchingand finding. It was not until afterthe war that the interest which Mr.Fuessenlch has always had In mat-ters of historical research took theform of collecting, but he assertsthat in the course of that 10 years hehas concentrated a lifetime of activ-ity.

He tells many interesting tales ofthe quest for antiques. One of themhas to do with collector's luck andis the account of how he came byone of the most priceless of Indianrelics. A friend had phoned himseveral times to tell him of an Indi-an canoe which could be purchased.Not being a specialist in Indian arti-cles, Mr. Fuessenich was not awareo: what he was acquiring until some

weeks after he had forwarded thepurchase price, and then he foundhimself envied in the possession of arare war canoe.

Several years ago Ice cutters ina pond which empties Into the Hous-atonic river found that their sawhad encountered an obstruction.They probed the bottom and raiseda long chestnut log which had beenburnt and chipped out into the formof a canoe capable of accommodat-ing 10 or 12 braves. One end havingbeen broken off, an exact figure onthe length is impossible but the partrecovered measures 17 feet Thecanoe had been weighted down withstones, doubtless hidden after Indiancutom, by a war party which !<rather obvious Teason never returnedto salvage their craft

The probable age of the canoeoffers an interesting subject forspeculation. By the early part ofthe 18th century most of the Indianshad moved west from ConnecticutWithout doubt, therefore, the canoewas sunk in the pond sometime pre-vious to that period and such is thepreservative power of immersion inwater for wood that one is permit-ted almost any guess at the canoe'sage up to 1,000 years. This relicwhich may very well date back be-yond the first white settlements inAmerica to the distant times whenthis was the Red Man's continent,has been loaned by Mr. Fuessenlchto the Mattatuck Historical Assocl-

There are still New Englander3who would think they had commit-ted a sacrilege if they didnt' votethe Republican ticket. But the emo-tional intensity of these New Eng-landers' devotion to the Republicanparty is exceeded by that of manytypical southerners' devotion to theDemocratic party. This is illustratedby the story told in North Carolinaof a man who once voted "unthink-ingly" for one of his neighbors whowas a Republican and said that itwas a two full years before he feltthat he was worthy to enter hia ownfront door.—Springfield Republican.
