Milk Fund Games

There seems to be considerable talk about the Crosby -Wilby football game seneouleo to be played at Hamilton Park on Thanks civing Day. Why anybody should imagine that the entire proceeds of this contest wouio be diverted to the Milk Fund drive IS more than we can understand. We make this state n,ent with due consideration for the worth mess of the drive. It is something in which citizens of Waterbury should interest them selves more than they have so far this year. But it does not seem fair that the athletic associations of both high schools should be forced to go into debt for the remainder or the year to help out this good cause. I here. are plenty of other organizations or groups that could and should do their bit.
 We don't actually believe that the local authorities ever intended to divert the entire proceeds of the game to the milk fund. No- body would want such thing. It IS en- tirely unprecedented. If we aren't mistaken the numerous benefit games in which college football teams are participating are post season affairs such as the triangular tilt ar ranged for the Yale Bowl on December with four New England colleges partieipat- ing. Each college will simply draw its ex- penses, the remainder going to the heads or the four colleges for relief work in each ones own locality. .
 However, there have been collections at many of the big games this season. Also colleges have donated certain percentage of the receipts In no instance do w> recall the major share going to funds. It would be impossible for many institutions to pay their expenses for the year if they did that At most colleges one game bears the brunt of the season. Incidentally institutions like Yale where football shows large profie must spread this money over large num- Der of non-profitable sports, such as rowing track tennis to mention just few In former years baseball and basketball might contribute to the treasury, but today they ar. another drain and football must pay for itself and all other sports in which the college engages.
 The same holds good for high schools. Very few of them. however, can boast profits at the end of a season. Now that the local schools have an enclosed field 1t may be pos sible for them to keep up their share ot the expense of engaging in inter-seholastic sports However. if the schools are merely to take their expenses of the season from their one bic profitable contest the Wilby-Crosoy game, and turn the rest over to charity there won't be much advantage in an enclosure after all. Those who don't believe that the action of the local schools in turning over the major share of the Thanksgiving day game proceeds is the height of generosity need to be examined. We leave it to our readers to decide whether it is being over generous.

Federal Wheat For The Hungry

Congressman Hamilton Fish, Jr.. of New { York. who is no radical. says he is going to introduce resolution in Congress proposing that the federal grain board turn over its wheat to the Red Cross for distribution in national relief He was chairman of the congressional committee which investigated Communist activities last year. and unmer- eifully lambasted everything Communistie
 He doesn't believe in dole. he says. He would object to money dole. which he holds is running England and Germany But he insists on feeding starving people and argues that If the federal government fails to relieve unemployment and permits wage earners to starve and freeze, then it is the beginning of the end for capitalism.
 The logic may be a bit fuzzy. and many will maintain that such relief is task for local authorities and private charity rather than Uncle Sam. But it does look foolish and cruel for all that wheat to remain useless in public storage, at great expense, a menace to farmers, when it might feed hungry Americans.

Here's significant statement from con- gressman elected last fall. Americans made a grievous mistake when they yanked the chairs and tables out of saloons and made the bars longer and longer Instead, we should have thrown the bars out and filled the saloons with chairs and tables - then we could have remained temperate sitting down. instead of becoming a nation of hasty incorporate drunkards standing up.
 That smaeks of the old world. It comes from Representative Benny Jacobsen, Iowa's only democratic congressman. also the state only -prohibitionist. Born in Ger many Benny came to this country as boy and made his fortune. All the immigrant boys seem to do that. Not SO most of our native-born. Any way Benny is temperate and has son in the Y. M. C. A. and a daughter in the Y. w. C. A. We like his old world attitude. It has sense behind it.

SEEKING COOPERATION
(Hartford Courant)

(Hartford Courant)
 The conferences that are now go- ing on between John N. Garner of Texas and various leaders of the republican party in congress are promising. Inasmuch as MT Garner seems destined to become the speaker of the house of representa- tives when 1t convenes next month, to come to an understanding with him Is necessary if any degree of cooperation between the two major parties achieved during the session. All concerned are fortunate in hav- ing Mir Garner to deal with. While Q staunch partisan. he is no zealot, and in his ability to get on amiably with all sorts and conditions or politicians he closely resembles his friend. the late Speaker Long, worth.
 If partisan cooperation is pos slble at all, 1t should be possible under MT Garner, but his power if limited by the extent by which he can manage his own party. The necessity of distributing the chair. manships of the committees widely among the party may inturye the pride of some of the members from the South whom the law of senior. ltty has brought near the head oi the committee lists. The digpiace. ment of some Of them in order tc give representation to the demo. crats from the east and the west may cause resentment that will ex' press itself later on the floor. HeFs is Mir Garner'a problem. and hs may need all the tact at hIs conn mand to solve it satisfactorily.

Who Breads Democratic Rule

Many voter in this nation has been brought up on the thought that national democratic rule spells disaster for American business. Republican propagandlsts preached this doctrine we'll in bygone years. so much so that it became not merely political doc Urine, but next to an established fact. We don't know on what figures the assumP- lion was ever based Certainly if it was on events that occurred during or after the ad- ministration of Grover Cleveland time has since proved that democratic rule was not at faullt there. In fact. Cleveland did not enjoy congressional support throughout both his terms He faced hostile faces most of the time both in his own party and without It.
 Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt resur- rccted the old wives tale last week when interviewed by Raymond Clapper of the United Press. He was of the opinion that Legitimate business has nothing to fear from a national democratic administration. :" Personally we think democrats should ignore this bugaboo which crops forth with periodic regularity. Why deny something that isn't worth denying? To deny it admits of its existence. We should proceed with the knowledge that past dem ocratic administrations have shown as much ability as republican. A good many demo- cratic officials even suffer by this comparl- son.
 We offer the Wilson administration for example. Much maligned as the war presi- dent will always be his administration was capable of producing more progressive leg islaton than any since has shown. And if democratic rule is productive of business de- pressions then surely we are not passing through such crisis now. We don't claim that present chaotic conditions are due to republican rule It is the last thing we would think of doing. But isn't it as logi- cal to blame it on republican rule of the nation. since we democrats are blamed for every business depresison of the past!
 Certainly no democratic administration ever contained the scandals in public office as that of the late Warren Harding. We arc cot trying to impugn his reputation or that of Nis Cabinet, but in those years in which he ruled this country was in the grip of rotten ring of politicians. Subsequent events have definitely proved that. We see no reason for democratic leaders now in line for presidential nomination to 0efcMl their party. It's record can be secured by referring ts history. lt needs no defense on tine ground shat rebuke of the republican party at this fisas would hs fatal to spesdv recovery frc"

Dr. Julius Klein, assistant secretary of commerce, in radio address Sunday night declared that Unemployed money is. in considerable measure the cause of unem- ployed men. Our biggest job is to bring money and men together as effectively as possible There is plenty of money in this country and it is clear that much of that money has been hibernating It went in- to hiding originally for the duration of the depression and now unfortunately seems to stay there during the continuance of the owners timidity and apprehension. :.
 Adding that it is estimated there is billion dollars being hoarded Dr Klein maintained That is enough to make jobs throughout the winter for tens of thousands of those now in grave need. ~ Much of what Dr Klein says is true. but there is natural hesitaney on the part of many people to pay what they consider high prices when low prices should prevail. We must admit that there have been sharp reductions in the cost of living. Foodstuffs and clothing have shown sharp decline in price. So have other commodities. But compare other prices with those of l929-2827 and the big boom years. They won't show much difference. Yet wages and salaries to-day are for the most part smaller. You can't blame people for hoarding. Prices in general must show more marked downward trend or wages must rise before money will be spent freely as world leaders desire to see it.

Here, There And EDeryDhere

out of 96 in the senate and 150 out of 435 in. the house; but this
 method of gauging popular senti- ment is open to several objections.
 In the first place. the industrial sections of the country, which fur nish most of the opposition to pro- hibition, are traditionally under represented in congress. The IS vets in the senate constitute less than one-fifth of the membership of that body, but represent 3S,400,- 900 people-nearly one-third of the population of the country. In the house, the 32 yet members from New York represent an average of 318,228 constituents. The 10 days represent an average of 240,474. Under the laws of New York ap- portion seats in congress, two vote in a dry district, equal three votes in one that is wet.
 Meantime, the present count of l strength in congress gives Q false picture of the situation, in that it fails to distinguish between Drys who are merely willing to give lip service to the law and those who are actually prepared to appropri- I ate money needed to enforce it. When the proposal was last made to give the prohibition bureau the $500, 100000 which its director had
 recommended, 1t was beaten in both houses. A large majority of congress is neither dry, in the sense that it favors a real effort to en- force the law, nor wet, in the sense that it favors an effort to repeal it, but politically both dry-and-wet, in the sense that 1t is willing to give the friends of prohibition all the law they want, without offending the opponents of prohibition by taking action which might shurr off an abundant source of liquor.

Militarisrn

It isn't necessary to say much more about that serio-eomic naval row between the ad- ministration and the Naval League. Congress itself will amplify the discussion next month. But here is one point that might as well be kept in mind, and is given special force by the situation in Manchuris. Over there across the Pacific is a war cloud which, though as yet no bigger than a mans hand. might rise. spread and darken the world. And that cloud. as interpreted by intelligent American observers has resulted from the Japanese army getting out of hand.
 The war minister at Tokio is a retired general with the military viewpoint and the spirit of Samursi. The Japanese army is controlled by coterie of militarists able to inflame public opinion. There are states men in Tokio wise, but impotent against such group. Statesmen talked peace, and probably desired peace, but the army got out of hand and committed the government to defense of its actions.
 That is the sort of thing always likely to happen when military men. whose profes- sion is fighting. get in control of national policies. Admirals have done the same thing in Great Britain more than once. The framers of the United States Constitution knew what they were doing when they placed our army and navy under civilian authority. Whatever generals, admirals and Navy Leagues may think. such civilian au- thority over the size, cost, personnel. poli- eies and movements of our army and navy must be upheld in this country.

 Washington. = Everybody's old home town has a superstition that bad things always happen three in a row. Almost any community has three noteworthy fires each winter, and they always come along at about the same time.
 It's an old tradition, and people here, who nearly all come from small towns, have lately been re- calling it and muttering about 1t in the wake of more than one se- ries of tragedies which have come in duplicate.
 None has been more startling than three fatal airplane crashes in three days which killed nine men. The military services and the air lines out of the capital had gone without fatalities for months when this happened.
 Important personages are likely to die by trios, according to half accepted theory of veteran news papermen, and 1t was such a suc- cession which, at least temporarily threw control of the house to the democrats, There had been several other deaths since the next con- gress was elected last November, but the passing of Representatives Hale of New Hampshire. Acker- man of New Jersey and Wurzbach of Texas--all republicans-within three weeks made 1t appear certain that the democrats would have a house majority at the opening of congress. t~
 New Jersey recently lost three of her most prominent citizens within a very brief space - Sena- tor Dwight Morrow, Thomas A, Edison and Congressman Acker- man.
 And the deaths of Morrow and Senator Caraway of Arkansas re- call the persistent stories that a certain other senator's seat in the chamber will never again be oc- cupied because of his present ill., ness.
 A story might be written about the seemingly potent properties of the number three in Washington The magic number of earlier times, which does not appear to be very important in this capital. was seven--remember the City of Sev. en Hills, the Seven Sleepers ot Ephesus, the Island of the Sever

TRUNKS OF OLD CLOTHES.
(Hartford Courant)

= (AartkOrQ COuEdutJ -
 Many persons who were born be- tween 1857, and 1867 would appre- ciate the opportunity to inspect the two score trunks belonging to an aged New York woman who placed them in storage many years ago and who has, together with the contents of the trunk, attracted considerable attention recently. She or rather, what she has, has made copy for the New York newspapers for a matter of three weeks.
 We depend for the most part upon colored prints or wood cuts for our ideas of what ladies-ali women were ladies then--wore in the late '70's, but now the forty trunks promise to show us the reality and we might see how fashionable New Yorw ladies were dressed when Rutherford Hayes was president and the country was slowly emerging from the Jim Fisk era. Human nature has not changed since dressmakers finish . ed their work for Mrs Wood. but styles have been progressing In a circle. Hence these discoveries will perhaps once more be up to date. But just now we should like to see a fashionable group garbed in what Mrs Wood has preserved. for then we should be back to the time when the better homes and,
 of course the banquet halls, were lighted by gas, when men cultivat- ed boards and when editors count ed that day lost in which they fail ed to term another editor a liar. We regret the publicity given Mrs Woods affair, but we admit that a redeeming feature is the store of tclothing which has been unearth- ed. Is 1t too much to hope that some one will have sufficient fore7 sight and intelligence to see to 1t i that the collection Is carefully pre-;
 served? After it's owner leaves a
