Statesmen Not Always
Masters of Foresight

II is curious how great things be-
fall. Chancellor Livingston, at the
time our minister to France, closed
with Napoleon's offer of the Louis
lana territory without authority
of government and to the dismay,
so one reads, of Jefferson.
In the war with Mexico, Calhoun,
who was secretary of state, sent
Nicholas p. Trist, chief clerk of
the State department and husband
Of a granddaughter of Jefferson, to
confer with Santa Anna about end
ing the war. Santa Anna offered
Trist the treaty of Guadalupe,
which gave us New Mexico, Ari-
IONA, upper California, and the Rio
Grande as the southern boundary
of Texas.
He gave Trist two days to take
1t or leave it. Trist lacked author
ity to accept it. but did so and ear
ried it back to Washington. where
it gave great dissatisfaction and
got Trist into trouble, but it stood.
Mr.. Seward, who had a vision of
the destiny of the United States,
bought Alaska and fairly earned
credit for that. He had magma
ton and large ideas. The Philip
pines we got because it was not
convenient to dodge them. They
were left on our doorstep and are
not a popular acquisition even now.

Earliest Use of Horse

Gated horse appeared about 1000
B. G. 1t was introduced into Egypt
by Hyksos, or. shepherd kings, who
came from the north and east Of
Syria. and conquered lower Egypt
in the Seventeenth century B. G. In
both these cases it is to be noted
that the horse was preceded by
many centuries by the OK and the
ass. From these facts and few
other scraps of evidence one may
picture the first domestication 0pf
the horse as occurring in central
Asia. Probably it was accom-
plished by a people OF nomadic
herdsmen to whom the convenience
Of riding would be obvious. Sooner
or later the mounted nomad came
to realize the measure Of his ad-
vantage over the man who travelled
and fought afoot, and was encour-
aged to wander far afield, conquer
ing as he went. In any case, the
horse (either as a charger or yoked
to chariot) became in very early
times an important factor in war

Collect From The Goats

Here's another little story they're telling around about Dwight Morrow. When he was ambassador to Mexico he happened to meet young Mexican who was at the capital pressing an old claim against the govern ment. He had inherited goat farm and the claim came with the heritage. At one time troops stationed on the farm had done con- siderable damage which had never been paid for.
 Look here!" Mir Morrow said to him. Think of all the time you've wasted just s'waiting around to collect that claim. You may never get it. If you do you'll probably be losing money. Nobody's looking after your farm. If you spent more time raising goats you'd have the amount of your claim. and more, by now. Why not go home and collect from the goats?"
 The young man stared at him with open mouth for minute. Then he grinned. thanked the ambassador and started home. Sure enough. too many of us have griev- ances and claims that we waste time and ef- fort on. when we might be collecting from the goats.

Tandem, Bikes

Americans in England recently have been astonished to meet on the highways many tandem bicycles. Our Department of Com merce reports this old-fashioned vehicle is enjoying a new wave of popularity and leading manufacturer has announced a new quantity production program.
 British highways have never been so crowded with automobiles as our own. he bicycle never became so nearly extinct there as it did here. Nevertheless, the revival is noteworthy It is an inexpensive mode of transportation As long as footpower holds out and the cyclists don't mind frequent and unexpected showers, they're all right. They can safely tackle narrow lanes not passable by motor coaches or big cars, and English distances between towns are so short that propelling oneself from one to another isn't nearly such chore as it sounds.
 Hardy tourists still bicycle in England. More are likely to try it. A bicycle on highway in America is a danger and nui- sance. like the pedestrian or the horse. In England it seems to be fairly safe for every body.

Grub-Staked Plays

The Actors Equity Association is trying to get some philanthropic people to provide money enough to grub-stake about dozen picked young writers year while they write plays. Alfred Harding, who is pushing the plan. says he would take 10 or l2 young men. give them about S5.000 year apiece, tell them to put all their time on plays, and guarantee that producers would give prompt and thorough attention to anything they turned out As soon as one of the writers produced an accepted play, he would be dropped and another promising young man given this chance.
 It's grand and utopian idea, and maybe maybe - 1t might wirk One thing that strikes lover of good plays is that all the play producing people seem to think they must have new plays all the time, in order to pack 'em in.'' Concert planners like new music. of course. but they keep on mix ing in the old. People never tire of good stuff. no matter what its age. The pleasant romantic comedies of yesteryear would pack 'em in any day. if Broadway but knew it. The sparkling farces can always be touched up bit and will shake the sides again. Good new plays are always welcome. But drama shelves of libraries are not exactly bare.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-10-23

There are two sides to this question, We want to see the Merritt Highway construct ed in the next few years. In fact. we think it will be even without the aid of special legislation.
 As to the states participation in the un- employment relief program now being gen. orally followed throughout the nation Con necticut may not need to summon its legis- lators to Hartford to carry on this work. We'll wager the Legislature could do no more than is now being done by all agen- cies concerned in this vital job of caring for the thousands of unemployed and the destitute. Of the three suggestions, though, the latter carries the most weight for spe- cial session. And if it did become impera- tive that Governor Cross summon the legis- lature to act we feel sure that it would be for relief measures solely.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-10-23
Special Sessions

Governor Cross has revealed that some pressure has been brought to bear upon him to call a special session of the Legislature. Among those subjects requiring special ae- ton are the Merritt Highway in Fairfield county. an earlier referendum on prohibition than that authorized by the 1891 Legisla- ture. and unemployment relief. so certain people believe. However. Governor Cross evidently does not consider any of the above serious enough to warrant a special session of the Legislature. We quite agree with him. although we can foresee the need of immediate action with regard to unemploy- ment relief if conditions become any worse this winter.
 The last time the General Assembly met in special sesion was August. 1929. It was on a matter of vital importance. too. Legislative aid was required to validate some l,500 state laws and acts which had been held invalid by the State Supreme Court fol- lowing its decision in the now famous McCook case. Failure of several governors in the past to sign bills within the legal limit prescribed by the law produced the denoue- ment that sent legislators seurrying to the Capitol to act before serious damage was done. Although we are now living in trouble sometimes we do not quite see the need of rallying our state senators and repre- sentatives just at present
 While we may not agree with the pro- nouncement that the prohibition referendum be held in connection with the state and national elections of November. l932. we still see no real need to call a special session of the Legislature to advance date of this referendum. Nor is there need to deal with the Merritt Highway by special legislation. It's construction has been authorized. If we arcn'f mistaken the state has also secured rirhts of way for considerable portion of the route in Fairfield county. We admit 1haf Immedists construction would mean employment for many men. but on the other |,,nd might t not mean higher taxes for ko. If rs w1,o neH <orpIain about theml
