Two years ago he received practically the unanimous indorsement of the Waterbury har for q superior court iudgeship. AS for the claim that his appointment at thls time will make three superior eohrl judges for Waterbury, the facts are that Judge Poasley is a resident or Cheshire in Congressman Tiison's dis triet and has been n resident there for the last 10 years. He has reps resented Cheshire in the general as- sembly. His residence is about me same distance from New Haven as IS that of Judg Omar W. platt Of Mil- ford. friends of whom appear to he claiming that tho nomination or Judge Pcasley should be classed as q Waterbury appointment. am au' thorized to say that when the nom .ination Of Judge feasley IS confirmed and he takes his place on the bench Tho will make his headquarters in New Haven. giving that city the same num- ber of superior court judge as 1t has now and the same number that II would had Judge Platt of Milford been appointed instead Of Judge Peas- Hey.
 Judge Iarkin also said that while the nomination of Judge Peasley might have come as surprise in New Haven and Bridgeport it certainly was no surprise in this part of tho state.

Can the Gloom

II seems passing strange that 1t is only the
politicians and not the business representatives
returning from the other side of the Atlantic, that
bring trunksful of gloom. Surely II there were
real cause for this p~essimism, others than poll
ticians would stumble across 1t, regardless OF
how hurried their visit had been.
The thing of first Importance in Europe or
anywhere else is food, and the crops are nearly
everywhere reported to be unusually good. This
comes by cable and not out of the mouths OF pol
iticians who are preparing for a congressional
session and a presidential campaign
France will grow more wheat this year than
ever before in her history. The agricultural news
from Poland and Roumania and Bulgaria, also
from Hungary and the other secession states is
good. The outlook for the harvest in Russia and
also in Germany is reported excellent. 1t is evil
dent, therefore that the great majority of the
people in Europe are now freed from the spec
tire of starvation. They have gone to work on the
soil, the great source of the production of wealth
and are surely going to have enough to eat
this coming winter. That fact cannot fail to be of
great political significance. There VIII not be
mobs of hungry men threatening a revolution.
Added to this is the gradual drift toward COM
posing the French and English dispute and a
settlement of all the questions arising out Of the
Ruhr occupation by German cooperation
through her new government.
The general conditions abroad contain more
of hope than encouragement and the crepe han
gers are having n difficult time securing audi
tors us well as newspaper space.
Conditions at home furnish no nourishment
at all 10 jewellers in gloom. There is every pros
pect of a~verting the threatened coal strike. La
Dor is i'ully employed, manufacturing is occu.
pied in every department, the railroads are
showing greater efficiency and larger earnings
than Mt any time since the blight of government
direction. Business generally is prosperous and
there are Il hundred reasons for optimism to one
for the other sort.
All these sd gns of promise are, Of course, con-
sistent with the existence Of many danger points
both in international affairs and domestic con-
difionc Tt 10 no tiua 10 settle down into n rom.
placent but blind optimism Business men and
statesmen alike need to be on their guard against
perilous tendencies. But, on the other hand, there
Is no Justification for the fears and the cries
of alarm raised by SO many. When they foretel
new wars worse than the worst ever known be-
fore and picture civilization about to be pushed
into the abyss, they are open to reproach for not
taking into account all the facts-especially the
most weighty ones. Merely a few of these have
BEEN indicated above, yet any one not irrevo.
cably committed to despair must see that they
imply a world not given wholly to the evil one
and still quite livable for the vast majority of

the 1920-21 edition and see what luck you have
in discovering the past of Calvin Coolidge. None

Wagging the World

Away down in Yazoo City, Mississippi, John
Sharp Williams for thirty years member of con-
gress and United States senator from that state
lives, having Voluntarily retired from public
life at the expiration of his senatorial term last
March. The other day one of the leading south
ern newspapers wired Senator Williams for his
opinion and preference in the gubernatorial con-
Hest now under way in that state. His reply,
after stating his preference, was:
"Am out Of politics; want 10 stay out. I shall
always vote. Further than that, and what little
influence the fact itself may carry with II, the
mad world may wag as 4. will. I have had my
share of its Worries"
1t is a matter of great regret 10 the millions
Williams has retired. He is a Democrat but
that does not detract from his statesmanly quail
tiles. He was a fighter worthy the best steel
that could be brought forward from our side to
match him. He was and still is a patriot. There
was none of the politician about him. He stood
up among the best of them and If his own party's
position was wrong he did not go with il hut la
bored to bring it back to the path 1t should
tread
He cannot be blamed for retiring for men Of
his stamp who measure up to the requirement OF
craftsmanship arc bound to feel the strain Of
extended service such as he rendered his country.
One of the discouraging things just now, how
ever, is that the world isn't waggtng to any an.

lie state OF mind at the present time.
The conflict of 19141ylS was y major opera
tion for every nation taking part in it. The vi.
tality of the United States enabled the country
to withstand the shock better than did the other
powers. But we haven't recovered. We are re-
operating, and in time will be stronger than
ever before. Recovery, however, will be brought
about by listening to the counsel OF wisdom, the
counsel of those who have a grasp of world at
fair-not by needing the advice of men poss.
essed of one-track minds and restricted vision.
World peace and foreign trade relations are two
of the problems that confront US just now. They
are rather betty problems, but we shall solve
them in time And then the old world begin
wagging again.
And in getting back to desired routine, all
such men as John Sharp Williams, be they Re
publication or Democrat in politics are passed if
they are not among those that are to lead us
back.
The country has need of these men, to make
the old world wag as it should
