Lynching Facts

After period of steadily decreasing mob violence. new wave of lynehing swept over the country in l930 and l93l. Recently the southern commission on the study of lynch ing reported its findings for l930. The report deserves thoughtful attention, partic- ularly such items as these: There is real doubt of the guilt of at least half the vie- tins of mob violence: Less than one fourth of persons lynehed since 1890 have been se- cused of assault upon white women.
 The claim that lynchings are necessary because courts do not convict Negroes for their crimes is false; Mob leaders can be identified without difficulty. but grand jury indictments are seldom brought; Lynehing is most frequent in sparsely settled areas; There is a direct relationship between lack of education, low economic status and lynch ing danger.
 Of the 2 persons lynehed in l930. the commission reports that two were certainly innocent. and 1 l others possibly SO. It adds: Tn some cases reason was found to suspect that victims had been deliberately framed for the purpose of eoncealmept or revenge" These conclusions are especially convincing because they are given by south ern men. It is discouraging record. but the remedies are clearly indicated.

in all other states that failed to redistrict. Our Legislature provided for this ten years ago when 1t passed an act in anticipation of the 1921 reapporfionment. There wasn't any. but the act is still valid and waiting to be put into execution. While we don't favor the position of congressman-at-large, nothing can be done about it until the Leg islature acts on new district. That is post poned until lo33. if the Legislature can then be prevailed upon to tackle the job of creating six districts where five now exist.
 The republican pational committee is as much perplexed over the situation as is the democratic. And the former body will be face to face with it December IS when Sem ator Fess has called gathering of national committeeman to prepare for the coming election year. Perhaps democrats will fol- low republican example. whatever that may be, when they meet in January. We can look for the biggest complaint from Califor- mia which gains congressional seats or l g. more convention places. Who wouldn't fight for these!

Senator Or Governor?

Governor Wilbur L. Cross is much in the political limelight these days So much so that the metropolitan press is seeking to as- certain his plans for l932. Offhand we would say that the governor would De the nominee of his party again. It would seem foolish not to renominate the man who ieo the party to its first victory in almost twenty years. And we don't doubt but what Gov ernor Cross would be quite willing to serve another term as governor, although he might desire a more harmonious group of legisia- tors with whom he could work. But there seems to be a well defined effort In the state to sidetraek Dean Cross. Ills name IS constantly linked with that of U. s. Senator.
 Democrats will consider well before they turn their gubernatorial hope towards the Washington goal. Personally we believe that the governor has better chance to be reelected than to be elected U. 5. Senator. Even if the democrats carry the state in 1852, it is no way certain that 1t will be a complete sweep. We may secure more offi- ces than we did in 1930. but clean sweep is too much to believe at this writing. Just now Senator Hiram A. Bingham has. we think, every intention of succeeding himself in his national office. And dispossessing him will be task. We wouldn't say it was impossible. but next door to it.
 There is the possibility. of course. that Senator Bingham won't be renomnated. However, state republicans, if they know their politics. will do so. At one time our own Representative Edward w. Goss was rsted as Binghams successor but we have heard that there will be united republican demand for Bingham when it comes time to nominate the senatorial candidate. His recent popularity in Congress has encouraged hls friends here in Connecticut to SOW hlS cause and it has fallen on fertile ground. Some democrats may not consider the can didacy of Senator Bingham serious threat. but we must reAember that he IS in, while the democratic candidate, whoever he may be, is out.
 If wise heads control the democratic conventions of l932 Governor Cross will be renominated for his present position. We don't intimate that the senatorial nomina- ton should go a-begging. The party should nominate a strong candidate. We do believe that if the democrats have an opportunity to hold the governorship they should not sacrifice their chances. And it would be sacrifice to run the governor for the federal office, while somebody else was seeking to hold the governorship for the party. This {. ,o offo,, to disrount inc ooyprnOr'S vote getting ability either. We simply believe the party should strengthen its present posi- ton before becoming ambitious

Convention Confusion

John w. Davis, democratic candidate for president in 1924. is of the opinion that se- lection of delegates to the 1852 national convention should be upon the basis of pres ent congressional representation rather than upon the new lineup to follow reapportlon- ment which has been going into effect ever Although the Constitution provides for con- gressional reapportionment following every deeennial census. of late years Congress has been rather lax in realigning its membership. There was no reapportionment following the count of noses in 1920. It required special legislation to bring one about in l93O, Thirty-two states are affected by the reap portonment. Connecticut gaining one con- gressional seat
 Offhand it might not occur 10 anyone that choice of delegates either way would make a difference. It does though Our own state will send fourteen delegates if the present apportionment is followed, sixteen if we use the new lineup. since we will have an additional congressional seat. The ratio of the convention delegation is two for each representative and senator in Congress. With ihirty-two states affected by the reapportion mcnt il can easily be seen that some states are going to gain. while others lose in con- vention strength Mr Davis argues that there will be too much confusion for the change to do any material good If he is referring to the confusion attendant upon the crea- ton of new congressional districts in affected states he is right.
 But. and it's big but. there should be no confusion in naming delegates based on the new apportonment. The total number will remain the same as in the past. just as the total membership of Congress does not change. If Connecticut is gaining two more seats at the national convention it is an easy matter to name two more delegates -at-large There won't be any lack of candidates for the positions, Similarly in states gaining seats the added conventional delegates can be chosen. Where states lose in representa- tion we would advocate choice of all dele gates-st.large unless that state has already redistristed itself.
 In Connetieut the Legislature failed this year to redisirSt so our additional reprsssn- tative will be elected at large next year. We presume the same plan will be followed

Politics and Personalities

The personality of Jack Garner of Texas. conceded to be the next Speaker of the House. may play an important part in American history. Mir Garner is practically everything that his predecessor and close friend. the late Nicholas Longworth, was not. He is the frontierman type. bluff. hearty man whose careless dress and ruffled white coif fure was contrast to Longworth's correct ness and suavity. Whereas Nick" was something of dlettante in politics. whose sympathies were formed by his aristocratic surroundings and his membership in privi- legged class, Garner is by environment and personal conviction allied with what he calls the little man" Throughout his career in Congress he has fought Andrew Mellon and the tax schemes designed to bear most heavily on people of small incomes.
 The two men had this much in common: They were both soeiable and popular. But Longworth was the urbane story teller and violinist while Gamers likeability lies in his plain speaking and jolly temperament. The Texan is extremely belligerent. and few members of his party can equal him in vo- ciferous, unwearying attack on his oppo- nents. His pungent epithets, forceful ges- lures. and his ruddy face and vivid blue eyes invariably hold attention. How he will function as leader of the controlling instead of the opposing faction will be interesting to watch. He will be more important-but will he be as effective or as happy'

Here, There And EDeryuOhere

something greater of the school than has been contemplated in the past: There Is no gainsaying the fact that a situation Is developing which will require the legislature to take notice of the fact that an increasing number of young per sons are knocking at the doors at Storrs for an education along other lines that the agricultural and technical which the founders of the institution had in mind and which the legislature has in the main fav- ored. Concretely the state solons will need to say whether the faculty may proceed to expand the curri- culum in accordance with it's pro- posal to award the bachelor of arss degree. The present administra- ton at Storrs is proceeding con seryatively, but nevertheless defi- nitely in the direction of expansion of educational opportunity. It seems probable that the state cannot in- definitely deal with the college as it has been dealing with it. This factor is bound to be felt by more legislators next year than was the case in the past. "Storrs' Is rapidly growing legislature sub ject."
 The taxpayers of the state will do well to inform themselves of just what this further develop ment of Storrs means. AS a theory 1t has its charm but as an invest ment 1t should be viewed with misgivings. Once start the school on it's way to becoming a univer- sity and the demands upon the state treasury will increase to an alarming degree. Not only Is this to be considered at a time when the costs of government are mount ing each year, but also the actual need for such an institution in this state. With Yale, Wesleyan and Trinity giving adequate service Tn e d Ii Q ional requirements and rapidly increasing the number of their scholarships. the plan to add another institution at public ex- l pense will bear far more than | conventional study and treatment.
 We seriously question if Connecti- cut can afford this excursion into
 the educational field.

Less Wine In France

Here is strange news In the months ending August 3l. France consumed 39,- 900 gallons less wine than in the same per iod the year before. The cold weather of the past summer is given as the reason, though that scarcely seems adequate. Perhaps the falling off in number of American tour ists had something to do with it.
 Whatever the reasop. the fact remains in- teresting It recalls recent statements that less beer is being consumed in Germany than formerly, and that the temperance movement in Russia is making real progress against vodka. It remains to be seen whether such tendencies are temporary perhaps caused by economic conditions or whether they are permanent, foreshadowing period of gen uine temperance in liquor consumption all over the world.

Motorists who like to get out and travel over the scenic highways in which New England abounds will be pleased to learn that the new Jacobs Ladder is now completely finished. Massachusetts has done fine piece of work in replacing the old and dangerous route from Westfeld to Lee with fine 24- foot wide macadam road that eliminates railroad crossings, hairpin curves, and dan gerous grades. the original Jacobs Ladder was started in 1894 and finished in 1911. It's scenic grandeur is about equal to that of the Mohawk Trail. It certainly should not suffer from lack of traffic with the. new road ready for use from end to end.

ors. opposing counsel, witness and picture on the wall-engaged in finding Hoover not guilty. Another showed the president as football player dashing offside to kick a water boy while an opponent la- beled Unemployment" rushed on with the ball toward a presumable touchdown. Regardless of the fairness or unfairness of such crit icism it does a politician no good when he gives people such excel- lent opportunities to stick pins in him.
 Perhaps nothing in the whole af- fair was more absurd in itself or more unfortunate from the Hoover standpoint than the part that phrase, "abysmal ignorance,' was made to play. Thanks to the cor respondents, the whole country was led to believe that the issue was whether Hoover was guilty of "abysmal ignorance" Hoover didn't mention the phrase at any time, and his committee, as his en- emies now delight in pointing out, took no position on the accusation beyond cognizance.

LIQUOR IN FINLAND
(New Britain Herald)

Experience with prohibition in Finland appears to parallel closely the experience with the noble ex- pertinent in the United States. The Finnish government is confronted with the same species of issues Arising out of 1t. Surreptitious and illicit liquor smuggling abounds. bootlegging is a fine art, and the temperance movement among the Films does not seem to have ma terially advanced.
 With all this in plain sight of the officials, and noting how com missions thrive in the other prohi- bition paradise, the authorities of Finnland also will attempt to solve the issue with a commission re- port. something on the nature of our Wickershhm report.
 While the Films are about 1t they might also note that our com mission reports don't make for much improvement or change. They tend to hold up action, serv- ing ns pailiatives.
 The Finnish Wickerkham com- mission is not abie to tell the Films anything the majority already does not know. The, government seems to be anxious to stall along q little longer.

 Washington-Somehow, no mur- mur of applause has swept the country at one of the most extra ordinary achievements recorded in this capital during modern times.
 Four hundred Washington cor respondents, whose trails are white with bleached bones of wrong horses they have picked in years past, and not one of whom has any, thing like a perfect record ot dop- ing elections or other results Tn public affairs, unanmously chose President Herbert Hoover to defeat President William Howard Gard iner of the Navy League when the Hoover Commission on Abysmal Ignorance" was appointed to decide whether President Gardiner's $ charges against President Hoover were correct. Not even the greenest cub muffed that one. If no movement to com memorate this remarkable perform ance is begun from private sources it seems as if the. National Press club and the White House Corre- spondents' association should vote an appropriation to stick up a tab let somewhere.
 But you cannot expect unanimity all the time, and now the same correspondents and the gentlemen who write the editorials for their papers back home are disagreeing as to whether Hoover gained more than he lost when he publicly ex-- coriated Gardiner and appointed the committee of five which he said would return report which should cause Gardiner to make public apology.
 The incident has given those anxious to praise tHoover-nis friends and others---a lovely chance to picture the president as Q hard- hitting, Rooseveltian fighter. It has also tended to discredit the Navy League, an extremist Big Navy propaganda group, for the commis.. sion seems to have shot many oi its assertions of fact" full oi holes.

We hope the police eleven has plenty of substitutes or else that the first eleven is big and husky.
