THANKSGIVING DAY
Governor John H. Trumbull ls-
 sues Proclamation

The following proclamation was issued Monday by Governor John H.. Trumbuil.
 Our generation has made good use of the gifts of God. All about us are evidences of the ingenuity and the time own enofmour industryof, b bz industry of men of our own time, by whose accomplishment the opportu- mites of life have been multiplied and enriched. We may with proprie- ty honor our scientists, our states men and our pioneers for thier de- yotion to the cause of human pro Qress; but we may not with justice fail in our gratitude to God, by whose providence all such progress is made possible Our New England fore fathers first gathered together to give voice to their thankfulness for the simplest blessings flor food and shelter and the freedom to worship in their own way. The occasion for such expression has Tot lessened as the measure of Gods gifts has filled to overflowing.
 In conformity with ancient custom therefore, designate Thursday, the 29th day of November, next, as a Day of Thanksgiving.
 And l urge the people of Connec- ticut to gather on that day in their several places of worship, and IF their homes, there to give thanks to Di- vine Providence for the many bene- fits with which He has blessed the least of us. It should be day also for visiting the sick, for relieving the needy and for befriending the home less. By such good works is God praised most sincerely and most effectively.
 Given under my hand and seal of the state at the capitol, in Hartford. this 18th day of November. in the year of our Lord. one thousand nine hundred and twenty-eight and of the Independence of the United States the one hundred and fifty-third.

GIVEN A RIDE TO THE
 POMFRET WOLF DEN
Sextette of Massachusetts Tech Lower Classmen Taken on Midnight Journey as Part of Hazing Stunt.

A ride to pomfret's historic Wolf Den was a feature of hazing stunt given by upper classmen of the Massa- chusetts Institute of Technology to a sextette of lower ciassmen, Friday night, according to the foot-weary six. who arrived in Danielson at four o'clock Saturday morning.
 According to the college youths they had been taken for ride" and summarily dumped out in total dark ness in n wooded country in, to them, an unknown section of New England. From the description they gave their abductors left them near where many years ago the farmers of Woodstock trailed the wolf that was stealing their sheep. The college men, how evef. knew little of this matter, or if they did they were for the moment uninterested Their only concern was in getting back somewhere where there were lights and sympathetic policeman.
 Hide Money
 The young men told those who gathered about them in the early morning hours in Danielson that be- fore they were put out of the auto mobiles all of their jewelry and money was taken from them, sup posedly to make it the harder for them to get back to the banks of the Charles river, the desire that was in their minds and nothing else but. It was apparent that the lower ciassmen had been anticipating the form If de- gree that was to be worked upon them. From their shoes, inside their shirts. and from other hiding places. they began to produce bills that they had hidden for ar emergency, one youth producing n bill folded up inside of his necktie.
 Finding that rail transportation was bit uncertain and that the quickest way for them to get back to Cam bridge WIS overland they engaged the services of a public service motor vehicle and set out, doubtless arriving in time for not too late breakfast.

Where Have We Heard That Before?

Governor Smith is known friend of labor.
Therefore, the country has been waiting all through
the campaign to hear his original proposals for i'm
proving the lot of Rmercan workers. Last night at
Newark he told us his remedy:
Il favor the adoption of government program to
prevent the suffering and enormous losses of I'M
employment: To that end the department of labor
should be given the necessary appropriations and
charged with the duty of collecting accurate and
comprehensive information on employment in i'm
portant industries" he said
Where have We heard that before2
Speaking in Newark, Sept IT, Hoover said
"The department of labor should be authorized to
undertake the collection of regular statistics upon
seasonal and other unemployment. We must have
this fundamental information for further attack upon
this problem, from the further solution of which will
still greater stability and prosperity in the world
Of the employer and employee"
Smiths second proposal last night was
II favor the adoption, after study, of scientific
plan whereby during periods of unemployment ap-
preparations shall be made available for construction
of necessary public work"
Where have we heard that before?
Speaking in Newark on Sept II, Hoover said:
I'm my speech of acceptance I outlined our ma
Clonal programs OF prospective pupnc WORKS.
there recommended that far as practicable, this
work should be carried in such way to take
up the slack Of occasional unemployment"
Smith made a third pledge last night:
IF the Democratic party is intrusted with power
under my leadership. you have my assurance that
definite remedy by law will be brought to end the
existing (ant-labor Injunction evils and preserve the
constitutional guarantee of individual hbert> free
semby and speech, and the rights of peaceful per-
suasion"
Where have we heard that before?
Hoover in his very first campaign speech at Palo
Alto said:
I'VE stand also pledged to the curtaiment of
cessive use of the injunction in labor disputes"
Smith last night had other labor proposals of
note-except the hoary Republican panaceas of pro-
tective tariff and immigration restriction, and on
neither he definite as to concrete application.
He silent on labors demands for unemploy-
ment insurance, odage pensions and federal anti
child labor amendment.
Smiths omissions are the same as Hoovers and
his proposals the Hoover's.

A Chance for Genius

Bert Ferguson, a New Yorker, 81
years old, has cataract on his one
good eye and faces the prospect OF
inevitable blindness. At the same
time, Charles E. Greenblatt, also a
New Yorker, 80 years old, finds 1t
necessary to have his right eye re-
moved because of a tumor.
A brilliant doctor, noting the two
cases, believes he can take the sound
cornea from Greenblatt's diseased
eye which must be removed and
graft it on Ferguson's blind eye.
This requires two delicate and al
most unprecedented operations, but
the doctor is unafraid. Ten days
will prove whether he has been
successful. If he has been, everyone
will agree that the result represents
another triumph for opthalmic sur
gerry.
Still, it would not have been pos
sible but for the coincidence which
caused two young men living in the
same city, of the same age and
with eyes of the same color, to be
stricken with their respective
troubles at the same time.

Back of the Power Issue

Senator Borah of Idaho, who has been stumping
the country behalf of Herbert Hoover revealed
his position the important power issue for the
first time at Norfolk Tuesday night.
Borah disagreeS with both Hoover and Governor
Smith. Smith, he holds, does not meet the problem
because he proposes only to have the government
build and retain generating plants at power sites with
out providing for distribution Of current.
Government in business" is bad, Borah thinks.
He believes there must be either complete govern
ment ownership control, operation and distribution,
or private ownership with complete public regulation
and control.
Power Sites said the Senator, ARE natural
monopolies and belong to the public" They should
"be dedicated to the Of the public" and not used
"as the basis for great and speculative profits"

Party Ignored Him

Robert Lansing, like several other
able leaders who helped Wilson steer
this country through one of the
most critical periods in its history,
should have ranked high in Demo-
cratic councils during the last eight
years. He had contributed substan-
TALLY to the success of a Democratic
administration and deserved a bet
ter fate than to be so completely
ignored by his party.
That, however, is one of his
party's outstanding weaknesses. 1t
is forever turning its back on some
body, or something. It's record
stands for nothing more distinctly
than a continuous abandonment of
leaders and policies. Just now it
is glad enough to recall the great
ness of Grover Cleveland, who went
to the White House from Albany,
but in 1896, and while he was yet
President, it was just as glad to
denounce him and all he stood for.
Though he failed to make a last
ing impression on the Democratic
party, Robert Lansing made a name
for himself as secretary of state
which will endure as long as Ameri-
can history survives. ,A.A...Aa-
