A Thought for Today
Lo, let that ltlulit l>e solitary, lot no Joyful
voice coino therein.—.lob 8:7.
* • •
Oh, treacherous night! thou tendCRt thy
ready veil to every treason, and teeming mltt
chlefb thrive beneath thy shade.—Aaron Hill.
Hip, Hip, Hooray!
Scarcely was the ink dry on the an
nouncement of the full regular republican
ticket, selected by a self-imposed steering
committee, which apparently has forgotten
all about those ‘‘open caucuses” we read
so much about a couple of months ago,
then there appeared in the same issue of
the American last night the nicest little
bit of back-patting seen here in many a
day.
If those papers—we say papers, because
the rejoicing that a party is reborn was
re-echoed in the left wing of the Leaven
worth street combination this morning—
only waited twenty-four hours to get the
reaction to the promise of a millennium,
say, long enought for someone to give three
hip hips and a hooray. However, it looked
as if the editorials were written in ad
vance of the news, kept on ice, so to speak,
for the occasion.
With all due respect to the candidates
ielected or dragooned by the steering
jommittee weeks before the conventions,
we would say as a whole they measure up
personally no better or no worse than a
lot of republican tickets wc can recall in
the past. They are all capable, if elected,
of carrying on, but nothing to call for
such outbursts of enthusiasm as was
emitted from the combination loud
speakers last night and this morning.
As we said, we can’t see anything to
indicate that a miracle might happen if
John M. Burrall is elected mayor. He
would conduct his office in as gentlemanly
o way as most of his predecessors have
before him. Should Frank Bailey be
elected controller doubtlessly the routine
of that department, well established now,
will continue on much in the same way.
Then does anyone feel in view of condi
tions in general that Pasquale De Cicco
can do much more in the way of collecting
taxes? It’s extremely doubtful. Stephen
J, Whiston, for city clerk, offers no im
provement over the present occupant by
way of training. And surely Mrs. Eliza
beth M. Coe, as town clerk could not
improve upon the efficiency of Miss Dora
Egan.
So without going further, where is there
anything to call for such promises of ful
fillment as the Leavenworth street com
bination proclaims? There is no fault to
find personally with any of the candidates
selected, yet it is just another ticket
offered for the predelection of the voters,
which through circumstances, geographic
ally, or otherwise, happens to be seeking
endorsement from an electorate normally
democratic. The only trouble we can
find with the entire set-up is that it's
republican, which is somewhat in keeping
with the idea of the old popular ballad of
a generation ago. “it’s in the right church,
but the wrong pew”.
Neutrality Law Helps
The neutrality bill passed by Congress is
a step in the right direction—but only a
step. If we expect too much of it, we lay
ourselves open for an unpleasant surprise
some day. Probably the best way to see
how it would work in actual practice is to
go back 20 years and imagine what would
have happened if it had been passed in
1915.
Its chief provision is a ban on the ship
haent of munitions to warring countries.
This would have had a very direct and
marked effect in 1915 and 1916. Millions
of the shells which burst along the Ger
man lines between Switzerland and the
North Sea were made in America; their
use had much to do with arousing German
resentment to the point where unrestricted
submarine warfare was declared. So if
we had had this law in 1915, our chances
of getting embroiled would have been sub
stantially lessened. It must be remem
bered, also, that some of our great indus
trial concerns which found so many divi
I dends and jobs in the munitions trade
would have gone idle.
Next, the bill prevents American ships
from carrying embargoed articles to the
ports of warring nations, and forbids
Americans to travel on ships of belliger
ents except at their own risk. This would
have saved us at least a little of the sub
marine warfare trouble; it might also
have pulled a few of the teeth of the Lusi
tania tragedy, although the emotional
shock of that affair would still have been
great.
The other provisions—barring the use
of American ports to the submarines of
belligerents which made illegal use of the
American flag — would have been of
minor consequence. So much for what
L the law would have done for us in the
P Wofld War. Now for what it would not
p have done.
It would not have kept us from selling’
millions upon millions of dollars worth of
wheat, oil, autos, beef, copper, cotton, steel
and similiar commodities to the allies, nor
would it have kept American ships carry
ing such commodities from passing through
the war tones. It would not have kept our
bankers from floating billions in loins to
finance those purchases.
And it was that trade, far more than the
trade in munitions, which made us in ef
fect the silent partner of the allies, and
persuaded Germany that the chance of
victory by submarine warfare was worth
the risk of bringing us in as an avowed
combatant. The law would have helped
undeniably. It is doubtful, however, if
it would have helped quite enough. When
Congress reconvenes this winter it should
give earnest thought to a possible broaden
ing of the law, if it hopes to guarantee
American neutrality.
Do The Facts Couple Up?
Those of us who are curious enough to
read the various times of our local courts
must have noticed that in the last ten
days a large number of suits has been
filed with clerks. These suits ask dam
ages that total hundreds of thousands of
dollars. When superior and common pleas
courts open in the fall the cases will be up
for trial and no doubt out of the total
number insituted a considerable propor
tion will be decided in favor of the plain
tiffs. Justice must be done and conse
quently awards made for damages actually
done to property or person.
What amazed the writer, though, was
the number of suits brought that were
the result of automobile accidents. It is
easy to see after perusing the account of
these claims why Waterbury boasts the
highest automobile insurance rates in Con
necticut, if not in New England. Perhaps,
though we are at fault in making this
statement. There may be just as many
suits brought in other courts around the
state and as large damages sought, but
, evidently the comparison ends there, for
Waterbury’s rates are higher than those
of Hartford, Bridgeport, or New Haven.
We have been told in the past by au
thorities who make a habit of studying
such statistics that it isn’t the number of
accidents here nor the number of claims
brought, but the losss-cost to the insuring
company, which interpreted must mean
that the companies pay claims more fre
quently in this district than in others. It is
evidently a problem of many complications
and not one to be decided merely by pro
tests to the Legislature or local authori
ties. They have no control over the situ
ation. Correction must be applied else
where.
A faint copy or imitation of New Hamp
shire’s famous Old Man of the Mountain
has just been revealed. Two Conway,
N. H., men, father and son, on a hunting
trip located up in mountains near the Mt.
Washington Hotel in the gorge of the up
per falls of the Ammonoosuc River a
natural rock formation that bears a strik
ing resemblance to a human profile. The
father and son, Walter H. and Roger S.
Burnell have named their discovery the
“Abel Crawford Profile,” thus honoring
the pioneer trail-maker of the White
Mountains. Crawford Notch is also
named for this old-timer. The profile is
not as large as that which overlooks Pro
file Lake and which Nathaniel Hawthorne
immortalized in his writings, but is said
to compare very favorably as to distinct
ness of features, etc. It’s a good adver-*
tisement, too.
We never knew until the industrial ex
hibition in Hartford was thrown open to
the public that Connecticut plants made
so much sports-goods equipment. Almost
evertyhing that could be desired for all
seasons of the year is made right in this
state. There are all kinds of fishing
equipment, rods, reels, and lines, as well
as tackle. Roller and ice skates come from
Torrington. Saddles, football tackling
dummies, baseball gloves, ping-pong balls,
animal traps, etc., are just a small list of
what can be found by checking up on our
state industries. It’s almost as diversified
as what we make right here in Waterbury.
Groton is now being urged as the air
defense base to be established in northeast
United States. Representative William
Citron made the plea for the shore spot
just before Congress adjourned. That
would be centralizing both air and sea
bases, for the proposed air field would
probably bo the peresnt state airport
which is not very far from the famliiar
submarine base in New London on the
Thames river.
Justice again fails the poor. A vagrant
asked for a life sentence and all the judge
would give him was 30 days.
One more good war and Europe could
go into a receivership.

INDEPENDENT PARTIES
(Meriden Journal)
The Independent party business
ie getting to be contagious and may
mean some startling political up
sets in the Connecticut local fall
elections. Norwalk has a People's
Party ticket, started by former
prominent members of the old
parties; Waterbury has Independ
ent democrats to buck the Hayes
forces, and Danbury has a Tag
payers' Party with a full ticket In
the Held for the coming town
election.
In each of these instances, the
complaint is that the old parties
are about the same and that thetr
leaders team-up to divide thespotls,
all at the expense of cltlsens who
crave better government and more
economy. Thus far the Socialist
Party seems to be overlooked by
the Independents notwithstanding
the Bridgeport example.
The Chinese make better flyers
than the Japanese. Some day,
when they get through lighting
among themselves, they may turn
their attention to Japan and dean
up.

killing an unborn child and a liv
ing perron.
Archbishop Murray could hardly
bo expected to meet Mrs. Sangor
face to face. The high post which
he holds Jforblds him to go Into de
tail when discussing the rights of
the unborn. Had ho forgotten his
claim to the respect of clcan
mlnded believers, and gone down
to the vulgar forum, he should
have prepared himself for all sorts
of ridicule. He Is a celibate, and
before he had spoken ten words
some ambitious humorist would
demand to be Informed, and insist
Rn being answered what a celibate
has to say about the unborn.
There would be no sense In an
argument between two disputants
who cannot agree on the premises.
The Church holds this; the birth
controllers*hold that. That Is not
this, and until they are accepted
by both contestants, it were Idle to
arguo. His Clrace of St. Paul gave
emphasis to his condemnation of
the teachings and the plans of Mrs.
Hunger when he wrote an episco
pal letter, sent It to the clergy and
directed It to be read from the
pulpits throughout his archdiocese.
In his letter ho ordered all Roman
Catholics to renounce membership
and employment In organisations
advocating birth control or steril
isation.
In the third statement given
above His Clrace declare^ that he
can see "little difference In killing
an unborn child and a living per
son." Kueh Is murder, but the tiret
Is
"Murder most foul, as In the
best It Is;
But this most foul, * strange
and unnuturul."
"Most foul" because the unborn
child Is not baptised and has no
claim upon the supernatural gifts
bestowed by the Almighty upon
those who ure reborn nito a higher
life. Murder a man and It Is quite
possible that you hasten his going
Into the divine presence. Murder
an unborn child, and, so far as In
you lies, you make It Impossible
for thut human being to see tno
face of Clod. Possibly some of the
priests of St. Paul spoke along that
line after reading the Archbishop's
letter last Hundaly

“There |i a lovely, radiant,

But It takes time and effort."
With this encouraging statement,
Jill Edwards sound* off on “Per

tle book devoted to the noble aim
of making the average American a
person with whom you oan spend
five minutes without suffering from
acute boredom.
It is her thesis that people are
stupid, boorish, untidy, gloomy, or
generally unltkable simply because
they are too lasy to do anything
about It. By taking thought, she
suggests, you may not be able to
add cubits to your stature, but you
can create for yourself a delightful
personality. In this book she tells
how It’s done.
I must admit that It sounds like
quite a job. To begin with, you
must attain physical and mental
poise. Foddowing that you must de
velop your mind, cultivate an Intel
ligent Interest In the world about
you, train yourself to be gracious
and tactful, develop both an es
thetic and a sprltual side, and
learn to adopt a “valiant attitude"
toward life.
Hu,ving outlines these steps. Miss
Edwards lays down a series of
mental and physical exercises by
which you can correct everything
from a faulty posture to an Ignor

Bach and Stravinsky.

umer causes rop delay in get*

pelled to “come acroaa."
2. Widespread confusion

the former are fearful of los*

Was placed on the shoulders
of Comptroller General Me*

weeks to approve projects.
Hopkins promised early relief
on this last complaint. He prom

flow of funds once their projects
were authorised.
On the other points he was
less definite.
The policy ot part payment by
states and cities Is the presi

the federal government would

By appointing John G. Wlnant
to be chairman of the new social
sdcurlt, board, Kooepvelt makes
it twice that he has given an
Important New Deal Job to a
possible republican candidate
against him In lOSt.
Onoo before, he made Win
ant chairman of the tcstlle
labor board under tlio NHA.
Reason for these selections Is
flrst that Roosevelt and Wlnant
are old friends, having known
each other when one was gover
nor of New York and the other
governor of New Hampshire;
second, Wlnant Is an extremely
able executive.
During his three terms In the
New Hampshire capital he
worked until two or three al
most every morning, Fred
Brown, now U. 8. senator, but
whom Wlnant defeated for the
governorship In 1024. says:
“Ho made any other gover
nor. past and present, look
sick."
Wlnant Is 46 years old, tall.
Llnoolnesque, republican, the
richest man In the state, mar
ried to a wealthy woman, and
founder of the Stable Money
association.
In Now Hampshire he Is call
ed a 'sucker." Almost anyone
with a haid-luck story can get
money out of him. Now, as head
of the social security board, he
will administer old age pen
sions and social Insurance In an
effort to eliminate the human
suffering which once touched
his heart.
