Illegally Appointed

According to our republican legislators there is no provision in our state laws which permits the governor to nominate judges of any city court. The city court judgeships of New Haven are the only ones appointed in this fashion. Although there was charter change about 1917 at the insistence of New Haven republicans it is now averred that this was never made a part of the constitution and hence the governor has neither the right nor the power to make appointments to the New Haven court. Just by way of comment may we add that this was not discovered until democratic governor had come into our midst. A most opportune discovery, gentle men.
 But what about the New Haven judges that have been appointed by the republican governors in the last decade? We can't re- call any effort to oust them on the grounds that they had been unconstitutionally ap- pointed But if they were the state is in pretty fix. Internationally appointed judges certainly have no power to impose jail sentences or fines upon prisoners brought be- fore their tribunal. Therefore ali cases that have been heard by the New Haven judges since they have been named by the governor might be reopened if the accused so desired. Perhaps there might even be rebates of fines imposed and damages collected for sentences given without the power to do so.
 We can see as rotten mess on the hori- zon as followed the McCook finding in which the supreme court voided some thou sand state laws that had been illegally created Failure of our chief executives to sign within the allotted time was responsible for this tech nical finding which required special validat ing act of the legislature to restore equilibrium. It looks to us as if the state was again the victim of circumstances, unless, of course it is perfectly all right for the governor to nom- mate the New Haven court judges. If it isn't then Governor Trumbull, Templeton, Lake. and Holcomb are guilty of exceeding their powers. for 1t is on record that they appointed judges to the New Haven city court. The mere fact that they were repub- liean executives does not help the situation one bit
 We suppose that if the republicans should ever eleetr republican governor again the law would be elastic enough so that it could be invoked once more. Then republican governor would nominate the judges of the New Haven city courts. As We recall the st- uation. republicans as well as democrats of New Haven, sought the change in naming the judges of their city court because of the abuses to which this tribunal had been subjected It was found out that by giving the governor the right to nominate the judges there was less political patronage attached to the judicial position. We can't understand this about face maneuver. unless we view our republi- can bretheren as absolutely devoid of any sense save that of lust - for political power and control of the state government by fair or foul means.

 o-O-o A MARCH SNOWFALL
"A SMILES THE THING"

Just as spring prepared her caravan. For a Jaunt to cline it knows so
 well, Old King Winter proved himself a
 giant. Tossed another snowstorm in the
 dell, Gentle flakes came gallavanting
 down, Tumbling like a lighted acrobat. Figured that the world was just a
 stage, Ready for final winter act. Spring may halt, but spring will not retreat, For her feet are shod with bulbs
 to bloom. Spring will find her place in wonder Knowing well that there is always
 room, Wipe away your tears and force a
 smile, q Better days are coming. you can
 guess, After all; what matter if it snows, Whats little snowfall, more or
 less. Just as spring prepared her caravan. For jaunt to cline it knows so

 seek, Whats little snowfall more or

TO-DAY'S SELECTED POEM
NEEDLESS

(By Edwin Rolfe in The New York Times) There is no need to struggle now
 Against the Winters stifing sleet That crushes men and bends each bough m As though it dropped in tropic heat. There is no need to sorrow for
 The delicate and sensitive small bud, because within its core
 It holds the impetus to live: The seed, grown vibrant in it's shell,
 Tense in it's unexpected prison. Shall know when 1t has pierced the well Of growth. And then it will have risen Miraculously from death
 Imposed in seasonal certainty But equally as sure, breath
 Of imminent Sprins will turn the kev Prerequisite to blossoming
 Then winds will carry sunlight; then New rain will fall. new birds will sing And death will be exiled again.

 that battle-which came to be
 known as the Battle of the Big Hole by Colonel Gibbon, Captain Cat
 lin and their men.
 General Sheridan, then head of
 the U. s. army, remarked that the
 losses of the battle were greater in proportion than those at Balaklava, Waterloo or Gettysburg. The In-
 dians later admitted POS killed or
 mortally wounded, or 26 more than Gibbon took into the fight.
 Many of our greatest Indian fighters pointed proudly to that
 struggle and the bravery of the
 Catlin volunteers. Congress pen stoned the families of the men who
 died on the field and later carved
 their names on a stone monument
 erected there. But when I came

Stock Market Signs

The stock market registered quite sharp advance during February. The movements of the speculators are subject to waves of over confidence. and of fear hysteria, both of which sentiments render their judgements quite fallible. Still it is true in a general way, that the stock market forecasts business movements The depression of 1930 was preceded by an abrupt fall in the stock mar ket which started slipping in September, 1929, and underwent series of sinking spells in October and November. Similarly sustained advance at the present time, would be rather strong sign that the industrial depression IS about over.
 The action of the market last spring was one instance where its forecasts failed to make good A large part of the loss suf- fered by stock prices in the latter part of 1929 was recovered in the spring of 193O, but this advance was built on false hopes. and business failed to show a similar trend. Quite likely, though, this was due to the severe losses caused by the drought of last summer, which must have operated to post pone industrial recovery for six months any, way. and very likely for a full year.
 But as a general rule, when something is going to happen in the business world, the spectators find 1t out in advance, and they bid up or bid down prices accordingly. While excessive speculation was the cause of the 1929 disaster, and is feature of economic life much to be deplored. still the view of these people who are listening with their financial ears very close to the ground, is not to be ignored. For some days they have been saying that business is going to be better. Advancing stock prices help business by making people more confident, and less inclined to hang on to their dollars SO tightly. With this encouraging indication, people should cheer up, and not allow their business conduct to be too much swayed by foolish fears

Washington is said to approve the plan of Dr. Paul Pearson, first civilian governor Of the Virgin Islands, to make them winter resort for Europeans and Americans. Maybe for the latter, but never for the former The Virgin Islands are dry, distinctly so, since they are part of the United States and will remain so until prohibition has been erased from the statute books. Therefore we are pretty positive, also, that the Vi~gin Islands will never be serious competitor for nearby members of the West Indies group. such as Cuba, nor for the more distant Bermuda As long as American laws govern the Virgin Islands formerly noted for the excellent quail ity and flavor of their St. Croix rum, there won't be much of a tourist trade We don't doubt that the Virgin Islands would make an ideal winter resort, but the winter resorts that are chosen by Americans today are gen. erally those where there are no restrictions on liquor The plan is an excellent one, though, The Virgin Islands have gone back from commercial viewpoint ever since pro- hibltion went into effect. The manufacture of St. Croix and also bay rum was the prin- cipal industry of the islands Only short time ago an effort was made to permit its manufacture not for local or American use but for consumption in foreign markets That was merely vain hope The Virgin Is- lands seem doomed

Beer, professor of antitrust law at

to be a move by the American Bar

Texas-in agreeing to curtail produc-

He also attacked "the farmer who
