One More Veto

As was predicted and expected Governor Cross has vetoed the New Haven city court bill. He returned the measure to the general assembly yesterday with message that should be read by everybody in Connecticut to appre- eiate fully the situation which confronts democratic governor and republican legisla- ture. The history of the case briefly reviewed is this. In 1917 the legislature passed bill by which the judges of the New Haven city court were nominated by the governor and ap- proved by the assembly. In every other city and town in the state these minor court judges are nominated by the assembly. Now the leg islaure seeks to take this power away from the governor.
 The change worked. we'll in New Haven. The city always was upset over its judgeships. That was why the late Colonel Isaac Ullman and other prominent republican leaders of the city were able to get the legislature to give up one of its political plums. Since 1917 there has been no complaint, so far as we know, against the caliber of the city court judges of New Haven. However. Governor Cross pro- posed to name, and actually did so. one repub- lican and one democratic judge, believing that bipartisan court was the real solution. These appointments have not been confirmed but the senate and house both passed bill repeating this statute and returning the power of naming the New Haven judges to themselves.
 Governor Cross has only vetoed one other bill. but it is closely related to the much dis cussed judgeship puzzle. A district court sys- tenn was proposed for Connecticut not by Governor Gross nor the democratic party, but by the Connecticut judicial council composed of both democrats and republicans well versed in legal knowledge and machinery. The dis triet court system has been put into effect in Massachusetts with good results, but 1t was thrown down by Connecticut legislators be- cause this state is town-minded. We aren't ready for such drastic change. so the repubh- cans stated. Of course the real objection was that the change deprived the legislature of an important means of patronage.
 How can there be any question of the con- stitutionality of the bill if Governors Trum- bull, Templeton. Lake. and Holcomb named the judges of the New Haven court without interference from the Assembly? And if these governors appointed judges unconstitu- tionaly none of the decisions the latter rendered in their years on the bench are binding. What mess that would make! It would be more discreet for the republican party to attack this gubernatorial power of appointment on other grounds than constitutionalty. Why not come right out and say that democratic governor can't appoint lower court judges. not this year at any rate! It would be the truth How ever. we side with Governor Cross, who in turn merely joins the late Simeon E. Baldwin, perhaps the greatest constitutional lawyer this state has ever had. former Chief Justice George w. Wheeler. the Connecticut judicial council. and others favoring appointment of all judges by the governor.

In the old days gold lured the adventurous spirit to Alaska. Today it is big game. so H. w. Terhune of the Alaska Game Commission tells us. He says. More than 100 sportsmen from the states come to Alaska every year to hunt and among them are always some new corners. They enjoy few days of hunting and most of them are satisfied with reasonable bags of game. Some beeope sufficiently inter ested in Alaska's development to invent money there Alaska is not cheap hunting ground. Nor is it available to the man from the states who has but a few days from his work. <, ,. The average hunting expedition calls for an absence from the states of five to seven weeks and an expenditure of $2.000 or more per man.

DAILY WASHINGTON LETTER

up and now she must go back to her home country. She has been em- ployed as a domestic and from what we learn, she's fine young woman.
 Here's a fellow from Johannes burg, South Africa, intelligent, speak ing good English and 24 years old. He went to the consulate there, ap- piled for visa and found that he couldn't get within the quota for three or four years. So he went to England, transshipped to Canada and after less than three days there tried to break over the border into Ver- mont. The border patrol picked him up and took him to St Albans. He faces trial for illegal entry and may serve @ few months in jail. af- ter which he will be deported to South Africa. That's the law.
 "He wanted to be a newspaperman here. A woman in New York just wrote us in his behalf and I have had to reply that the young man embarked on an adventure that end- ed in a misadventure, which is some- thing we can't help"

New York.-Perhaps it's because my wife found a blade of grass grow ing beside a potted plant I bought a few days ago from one of the many colorful flower wagons that pass through the Manhattan streets
 Don't laugh! And restrain that tear, if you can! You get that way when you've lived in New York for a number of years!
 mean you get genuine thrill at seeing a blade of grass around the apartment. When you arrive home and the wife comes running up with that baby's-got-a-tooth ex- pression on her face.
 "Look!' she says, poking a flower crock under your nose. Look. there's grass growing in here."
 You rush the crock over to the electric light. observe the earth closely and then-sure enough, 9 tiny bit of green is poking it's way up from the fragment of soil. .
 Sounds silly - but wait until for half dozen years. You'll be from leaving! You'll take dog out for a two-mile walk! You'll give the geraniums more atten- ton than you do the baby!
 We'll, that's what happens to the little boy who would never cut the grass! He lives to shed tear over a single blade.
 At any rate, I've been developing "a first class envy for my old cronies in Michigan. Colorado, California and way states who get huge thrill out of small things
 I find myself recalling what a kick there used to be in going to a show or having big town orches- tra play for the town dance!
 suppose that's all over now. suppose in the little towns I once lived in the wandering minstrels from the colleges and cities no IA-.

 And I realized that was paying the penalty of surfeit. I've been having too much of everything. No longer is there the kick of anticipa- |tion and the fun of getting all rigged up and being there.
 Instead, long about eight o'clock in the evening, the wife reminds me that there's another theater to be at tended in the next 30 minutes. spring rain beats against the window. It looks like a nasty night.
 "Oh, I suppose l have to It is a rather important .production--or they say it is," comment, meaA- while recalling that. this is the 6e- |oddth show have seen within q relatively few months. Let's give the tickets away tomorrow night and stay home for a change.
 "Yes, we'll stay home and watch the grass grow in the flower pot" You see, the wife having lived here a few years herself, has her more acid moments. While she changes her frock you turn to the amusement pages of the paper
 Your head reels with the long list |of concerts-symphonies, sopranos, violinists and Russian quartets. plan. lists; some famous, some just com. ing up. You notice there are four new movies you have to "catch" the next morning somehow; notice of pocket and they're taking three new ones over on Long Island. A couple of invitations to night club stunts are in an inside pocket.
 So you return to the flower crock and ponder again the blade of grass = This can't go on! What need lis grandma's old spring remedy of molasses and sulphur!

CUBA's WAR MESSAGE


 On April II, 1917, Speaker Champ Clark laid before the United States congress, amid applause, a message from Miguel Coyula, speaker of the Cuban house of representatives, re- garding the Cuban declaration of war against Germany. It read:
 "The house of representatives of the republic of Cuba, in declaring that a state of war exists between this nation and the German empire. resolved, all members rising to their feet and amid the greatest enthusi- asn1, to address . message of confra- ternity to that body announcing the pride felt ythe people of Cuba in uniting their modest efforts to those of the great nation contending for the triumph of right and respect for the liberty of small nationalities.
 ''The house also resolved to ,ex- press the special qualification of the Cuban people in uniting their flag side by side to that of the glorious nation which in days of undying memory sacrificed the blood of her. sons to help the people of Cuba to conquer their liberty and independ- ence."

For this occasion Mrs Peabody. has some startling figures showing how the nation has improved since prohibition went into ef- feet.

TO-DAY'S SELECTED POEM
NORTHERN APRIL

(By T. Morris Longstreth in The Christian
 Science Monitor) o sweet uncertain April, do not follow Much vaunting March into his frosty lair: Nay. absent t-minded April, call the swallow, Let sunshine flow along the jeweled air, And in the clouds make crevices of sky, Bluer than blue and higher than hope is high. Release the hand of Winter once fer all. And give us earth again and greening sprays, Set streams to music loose the waterfall. And walk the wood once more. The cool-checked
 days With hearts of fire have stayed away too long From us whose April memories are song.

Another State Song

Literary critics in the Buckeye state are kicking around prize-winning state song entitled Ohio. My Ohio.' The chorus runs like this: .,g,t
 T love thy temples, schools and marts,
 Thy industries and finer arts;
 Thy many homes wherein are born
 All virtues which thy name adorn
 love the red blood of thy plains;
 love the blue blood of thy veins;
 love thy spirit. Heaven-blest,
 Thy royal heart within thy breast Technically it seems to pass the usual tests fairly we'll It is built to standard specified .tions. A poet setting about to write patri- otic song. whether for country or state or city, really hasn't much room to ramble around in. The poet in this case seems to have got near ly everything in it-all but one thing. And you can't expect inspiration in synthetic composition. s"4ss
 The Star-Spangled Banner and The Marseillaise sprang from the heart of the nation in time of stress. The authors probably had no idea that they were writing national songs." As result. we don't pick them to pieces very much. As for this state song. the rude critics want to know where Ohio's plains are. and whether blue blood" isn't unhealthy as well as undemocratic. and who loves mart and why middle western American heart should be royal rather than loyal.
