Time stood still for a moment
today as war time "buddies" from
Maine to California joined hands
once more. And as martial strains
shook the rafters of the Boston
arena, $1,000 legionnaireS-just
a fraction Of the 10000 gathered
here-and hundreds of members
of the legion auxiliary crowded
every corner of the amphitheater
for the opening ceremonies Of the
convention. and the address of
the President.
Scores of distinguished guests,
including former President Calvin
Coolidge, Gen. John j. Pershing
and Gen. Henri Gouraud, officials
Of State and city. generals and

Following the call to order by
National Commander o. L. Bod

Father George F. Kettell, DID.

Addressing the / $4,000 men.
President Hoover said:
''NO man should dare call
himself q faithful American

have recognized that the up

must not, however, rest upon
Government officials alone; it
must rise from the stern de-
mand and the loyal 3CO-Opera-
tiOn Of good citizenship and
individual responsibility to the
community.
"YOu have. a post in every
town and village. You have 1t
in your power to do much"
Turning to other matters, Mr..
Hoover told the veterans that:
The peace of our country
has never stood more assured
than at this moment"

Government outlay for the World

BUENOS AIRES, Oct. 6
dN,SJ. The Brazilian Federal
Government and insurgents who
have raised the torch of revolt
in the Southern States we're pre-
pairing today for tussle over
the right to rule in the land.
Battles and heavy casualties
already have been reported from
various sections notably Porto
Alegreei City, which the Rebels
captured after a two hour battle
with more than 200 dead or
wounded reported.
General Flores Dacunha as
sumed command of the insur-
gents. dispatches stated, and an
immediate effort was launched
to coordinate the forces oppos-
ing the Federal Government.
Men between the ages of 81
and 35 were mobilized, it was
reported, to form the nucleus of
an army which will be ordered
to assault the important city of
Sac Paulo.
Five States Rise
Information from Montevideo
said that revolt broke loose in
Pernambuco Immediately upon
receipt of rebel successes else
where. The States of Rio Grande
Do Sui, Santa Catharina, Pa
rama, Parahyba and Minas Ge-
raeS were rampant with rebel
lion, according to various reports,
with military veterans and for.
Tner revolutionistS in the saddle.
: It was learned that the opposi-
ton forces have recognized Getu-
li0 Vargas, president of the State
OF Rio Grande and defeated presi-
dental candidate, as the head
Of their government. Senior Var
gas bitterly opposed President
elect Julio Prestes in the elec-
tions. last March.
Although reports were current
here that the government of
President Washington Luis at
Rio de. Janeiro, the. capital of
Brazil, had made peace overturas

rejection, it was believed that the
federal government was in posi-
tlQn to resist the rebellion with
telling strength. go.
,s.' as Ready to Fight 30
While the situation In Brazil
was considered the worst since
the downfall of the empire in
1889, it was pointed out that the
upfisings' in a number of Bra
lillian states could have little Sig
nificance, as the sparsity of pop
ulation and undeveloped territory
there would render any opposi-
ton there nearly negligible.
:: May Attack City
The fiercest rebel assault ap-
pears to be concentrated n the
state of Rio de Grande do Sui,
where thousands. of civilians
have flocked into the opposition
ist ranks.
Pushing northward into Santa
Catharina and Parana, they are
moving to a concentration point
south of Sac Paulo, where a de-
termined assault to capture the
city itself appears to be in the
offing. -
This territory. if captured,
would place the rebels into con-
troll of railway and shipping
facilities Sac Paulo itself has
more than 100000 population
and is the worlds chief coffee
exporting center
Casualties in the week-nnd
fighting were reported heavy. The
next 48 hours, it was believed,
will be the crucial point in the
revolution.

BINGHAM AND WALCOTT

The vote or Judge Parker 1T the Senate showed Messrs. Bingham and walcott voting for confirmation, thus again both gentlemen from Connectcut being or tne losing side Of an important public issue. By this time, VIC feel assured, ConnectI- cut is accustomed 10 seeing it's ssna- tors on the losing side, and f there is anything in the old saw that It IS better "to be right and lose than 10 be wrong and win, our senators and their constituents should be well sat isfied with their record
 All the Insurgents and most Re- publicans who are known 10 have liberal views regarding public ques- tions voted against confirmation. The Republicans who voted for Judge Parker, in the main, were those Of an ultra -conservatire bent. This list naturally includes Messrs Bingham and Walcott, who bow 10 nc one in matters of conservatism and sup porting Hoover"
 Among the Democrats who voted for confirmation were names Of sen stors who represent southern con- servatism. such as BIease, Broussard, Glass. Overman, Simmons, king and Fletcher.

REJECTED

Having looked upon Judge Para- CTS nomination as I member Of the L. s. Supreme Court with dissa tis- faction, we naturally are pleased al hls rejection by the Senate.
 It vas on the broad general prln- ciple that Judge Parker vas not q distinguished enough turist 10 sit OH the Supreme Court bench that we felt his rejection would be 10 the best interests Of the country.
 Supreme Court 5ur,sts should be men possessing unquesuoned and nawIess .egal superiority in their profession. Such men usually arc heard Of and discussed long before their names are mentioned as pos sibIe candidates for the high court bench. Whoever outside of the dis trict where he funcuoned ever heard Of Judge Parker
 Lastly, it had been shown by means Of q letter that politicians re- garded the nomination Of Judge Parker for the Supreme Court as q master political stroke" the object of which was 10 influence the politi- cal situation in North Carolina and the South.
 A political reason is tho poorest of excuses 10 offer in nominating jurist for the Supreme Court o5 the United States. This august tribunal IS not in politics and politics should be the last consideration for the flling Of such vacancies ss may oc- cur. Men appointed 10 this Court are there for life. and TO political situation of momentary significance can possibly justify the selection ot it's membe
 It is sad that President Hoover 8 patAnce vas soreIv tried ny the oh- jections e Judge Parker 1n he Sen ate. T. that was true before the final rejection. the President must have been dumbfounded at inc evidence which came yesterday that the Sen ate IS fnclned 10 regard Supreme Court candidates vith mat careful consideration which does not 1n- clude political consideration as a factor.

often enough it will gain in current

often enough it will gain in current belief.
 True, he struck a snag last week when he directed a communication 10 Governor Roosevelt of New York regarding industrial conditions. Gov ernor Roosevelt, being frank and a Democrat, bluntly replied that to the best of his knowledge there was no noticeable improvement since Janu- ary. Mir. Lamont did not labor dill- gently to give publicity to this state ment, the publicity coming from Albany. x. '. Perhaps Mir. Lamont doesn't even believe the statement.
 One Of the recent statements of MT. Lamont was a laborious analy- sis Of the surplus of commodities throughout the country He referred 10 percentages, index figures and statistics generally like a master What he desired to prove is that the surplus Of goods is not alarming" and that i, also IS not necessary 10 be unduly alarmed over the price drop in commodity prices. Fortunately he did not refer 10 the copper in- tustry. which has suffered q dismal price drop within the last few weeks, but he did refer to an inn provenent in the production of gasoline and some other products.
 When all is said and done, there IS need Of q General of Optimism in the Administration, one who, like Mir Lamont. combines flair for getting over his statements with knowledge Of the exact meaning of statistics-at least, with a way of interpreting them for the mental benefit Of all listeners.
 One or the superiorities Of q Re- publican national administration is that there are more men like Mir Lamont within the Republican ranks than there would be in the Demo- cratic ranks were the Democrats in power. Our big lndustrialists feel disposed 10 take fairly seriously the thoughts expressed by such a dis tingushed gentleman as Mir. La mont; and the Republican news- paper editors likewise give him the benefit Of every doubt. The Demo- crats, were they in power. would not have such a gentleman at heir dis posal; and f they had one neither the industrlalists nor the Republican newspaper editors would take him seriously.

 The next day came the announce menr that 8 reorganization Of the citys engineering department IS in prospect and that Mr. Merian would be a noarty 10 be employed else where.
 When Nr Merriam succeeded Jo- seph D. Williams in 1928 the belief vas widespread that he would prove to be an unusually efficient city en- nnee- Until the Willow Brook jam s-rived he was living ID to these ex- pactauons.

 r il IS possible 10 combine the duties Of city engineer with that Of being engineer for the city water department then why was that not done long ago l. is an especially re- markable proposal al this time when the city water department is antici- pating vast enterprises which will be costly and require much Of its engineers time-unless it IS the plan 10 employ outside engineers at fancy fees to do the extra work.

THI, SURPLUS OF GOODS

Secretary of Commerce Robert P. Lamont surely IS the Atministra- tons bell wether in the rroclsma- ton of industrial and commercial good cheer. He can issue more opu- mistlc statements m less time than any secretary of commerce in the history Of the nation, Mir. Hoover himself not excluded
 MT. Hoover when secretary Of commerce was efficient, but he talk ed sparsely. Mir. Lamont we assume. also is efficient. but he talks much. He seems to believe in the general principle that fl thing IS repeated

TEXTILE, CITIES
serloGsIy

As had been expected, the census reveals 2 substantial reduction n the population Of New England tex file cities. These cities are still great textile ceuters. but all Of them have lost mills during the last decade. Fewer spindIes tn operation mean fewer people in these cities deperd- ing upon textile manufacturing for a livelihood. Thousands have moved from these cities to other centers where industry is less subject 10 southern competition; and perhaps thousands have taken up occupations having nothing in common with the textile trade. New Englands textile industry has been subject 10 radical changes and the end perhaps has not yet been reached
 r New England were depending altogether upon textiles for its pros perity this would he an evil situation But textiles constitute only one Of very many industries which have been developed in the six states. Others of our major industries have prospercd greatly during the las. decade. and altogether New England, as figures have shown, has enjoyed growth. not stagnatton. during the last ten years.
 The so-caIled textile cities have simply been d. disadvantage in sharing this growth, their prosperity being bound Up with one industry instead of many.
 Despite the population decreases credited 10 such cities as Nea. Bed ford. Low eli. Manchester x.

 While the larger New England textile cen,ers have sho@ed de- creases in population. information from the south $ that the textile cities there have shown large in . creasas. Some Of the southern tex tile cities did not even exist, In an industrial sense. ten years ago.
 The figures for New England will be found satisfactory when all types Of its various industrial cities have been heard from. For some reason the textile uenters were reported first by inc census bureau. Most ! Connecticut cities, ue feel certain will provide New England with something satisfactory 10 think ] about
