Radio Plugging

There is said to be radio rebellion de- veoping in Canada. There is talk of the gov ernment taking over the broadcasting busi- ness, in order to make it more distinctly Ca nadan and check the plugging of eommer- cial products as now conducted. If broadcast ing is to remain in private hands. it may be subjected to censorship eon6ning stations to a mere mention of the name of commercial firms sponsoring programs.
 This is hitting at an evil which is worse in the United States than anywhere else and steadily growing. Something of the same sort will probably be done here sooner or later. If not attempted through government action. the reform may come from the voluntary action of broadcasting companies and adver- tsers It is evident already. to the public at least, that many firms are doing too much plugging for their own good. They tend to arouse antagonism against their products. Good taste is especially necessary in radio ad- vertisng because the approach is so personal and intimate

He Builds Mount Vernons

The most jealously guarded building in the United States--excepting. perhaps the U. s. mints-is Mount Vernon. mansion of General George Washington on the Poto- mac. Only one man possesses architects plans and. specifications of this shrine of patriotism. He is Charles K. Bryant arehi- tect of Richmond. Va. who has been thus honored by the Mount Vernon Ladies asso- ciation, guardians of the shrine.
 Mr Bryant is now in Paris supervising the erection of a new Mount Vernon. in exact duplication of the original. for the lnterna- tional Colonial and Overseas Exposition at Paris this summer. This Mount Vernon de Paris will form the main exhibit of the U. 5. government at the Paris exposition. C. Bascom Slemp. American commissioner gen. eral, has named Anne Madison Washington. the daughter of Lawrence Washington. the last of the family born at Mount Vernon, to superintend the furnishing of the United States exhibit.
 A pageant will depict Lafayette's visit to the home of Washington. Historic characters who were present on that occasion will be personifed in their original costumes. and negro band will play the same music that en- tertained the distinguished visitor in the 18th century On the portieo of Mount Ver- non. Lafayette and his hosts will dance the minuet. There will even be mint juleps for the guests!

Billboard Men Object

Public sentiment and action against bill- boards have grown so strong. especially around Washington. D. C, that the bill- board people themselves start on rampage. They maintain that the crusade against billboards in general is not fair. because 1t IS indiserminating. Nine -tenths of the stuff which ofends the public. they say is in the form of cards and posters tackled or pasted on trees. barns and fences, mostly contrary to law. They themselves would like to see that sort of advertising eliminated. The or ganzed outdoor advertising people insist that their own advertising is different. and unobjectionable.
 That may be. But the question is obvi- ously one of taste. and possibly citizens with pecuniary interest in that species of pub licity are not the best judges of time. place and artistry There can be no complaint against billboards in their proper place" ob- serves a Washington newspaper. One ex- poets to see outdoor advertisements in an in- dustrial section, but when whole landscapes of natural beauty are turned into advertising horrors the public revolts.
 They need not be horrors" in them- selves to deserve condemnation, if they are intruded among natural beauties that the public would rather look at. As a rule. there are not only other places, but other means of advertising-now more plentiful and ef- fective than ever-whieh would take care of the commercial requirements for publicity.

If you had million dollars to spare would you do what John D. Rockefeller. Jr. is doing with that sunni He is providing a refuge for elk (small letter. not eapitsl) in Grand Teton park. which is near Yellowstone. In unostentatious way Mir Rockefeller bought up most of the private land in the vicinity. not in his own name but in the name of a subsidiary company in which he is interested and when the tract is complete it will be presented to the government. It will provide not only another national park but also splendid sanctuary for elk. whose numbers are decreasing. we are informed The park is named from series of peaks called Tetons. The preservation of the elk is assured if the project goes through in its en- tirety as the animals will always be assured of winter and summer range where guns will not reach them nor marauding wolves lay them low.

A more menacing picture is to be seen at the foot of the Atlas noun tains where one of the largest de- tachment of Foreign Legion men are kept. Not that there's trouble. of course-but these mountain people you can never tell! And just over the mountain lies Sudan. And the Berbers!
 Yes, of course, the Berbers! doubt if anyone will ever conquer them. And amazing mountain peo- pie, who conld carry on 8 mountain warfare most dangerous to any any enemy.

He owns and directs five tribes. He is said to be the richest man, next to the sultan. in all Africa.

He has scores of Caids under him, and since the sul- tan has become little more than u figurehead, the Caouli Is one of the most important figures to be found.

BEACH RIGHTS AGAIN (Meriden Iournall

The shorefront owner has to keep on fighting in his attempt to exclude the public from the beaches. The controversy cropped up again in the legislature at this session with front ing property holders trying to claim control of tEse beach between high and low watermark, but the old rule will undoubtedly stand that no one owns part of the sound; that nobody owns more land at low water than at high water.
 It is likely to be annoying to many shore, residents to have tho public trudging over the beach at low water and one can sympathize somewhat with a Grove Beach (Cllnton) cot tageer who contended that the pub lie use of the beach in front of his place constituted a nuisance. Tn this instance a real estate developer had sold "shore lots' some distance in the rear and gave the buyers the privilege of the beach by means of q right of way.
 Court decisions have long been al variance on the subject of beach rights and little has been done to clarify laws. In the meantime the public is becoming irritated by the assumed rights of individuals to complete ownership of the beaches. There is little doubt. however, that the part of the beaches between high and low water marks, wili remain in the public domain,

A recent item in the New Haven Journal Courier interested the writer considerably. It related the discovery by an art connoisseur of two old pictures of the famous "Old Leather Man of Connecticut. It wasn't so many years ago that stories of this picturesque char acter were common tales among the older people of Waterbury. That was another day and generation. though. We wonder how many recall the Old Leather Man" and his eeeentricities as the people termed them. Per- haps the gentleman had the right idea even though his attire of leather and his fondness for sleeping in caves kept him apart from his fellow man. But we wonder if the Old Leather Man" isn't the same person who was supposed to make the cave that is now in- cluded in Black Rock state park his habitat for long periods. At any rate it is well known that the "Old Leather Man" made regular trips through the state and eastern New York and never once did human habitation enclose him. He died in cave near Mount Pleasant. N. Y., in 1889. A cancerous growth on his face was believed responsible. This is a story for old-timers of course. But the next cave you visit just pause moment and wonder if at some time it, didn't echo to the creak of the old Leather Man." His garments were so stiff and cumbersome that they actually protested as he walked. Poor mani

Appointive Powers Safe

For the period of his administration the appointive powers of Governor Wilbur L. Cross seem safe judging by the action of the senate yesterday in approving the commis- sioners whom the chief executive had named to date. Four of those nominations approved by the senate yesterday were democrats which is good indication that after all the wrangl- ing 1t looks as if the republicans might be go- ing to be good sports and admit the democrats to their share of representation in the state government. Certainly there will be no further attempt to impede the governors appointive powers.
 Of the appointments made yesterday those of Joseph M. Tone. John A. Macdonald. and former Mayor Anthony Sunderland at- tract attention. Mir Macdonald is renamed to the highway post he has held so many years. At one time he was said not to stand chance of being reappointed. Evidently the charges of politics in the administration of his department did not carry weight with the governor or else Mir Macdonald is returned to office in what those on the inside term a po-f litical trade. There has been opposition to Mir Tone. more SO from within the democratic ranks than from republicans.
 As commissioner of labor to succeed Harry E. Mackenzie of Bethel Mir Tone should make good appointee. He is well known in labor circles. In fact he has been member of the International Association of Maehinists for 24 years and at present is a railroad employe. As state legislator he had the distinction of serving in one session in which he and Joe Lawlor of this city were the only democratic members of the senate. We don't think that the department of labor will suffer by the acquisition of Mir Tone, although he does happen obe member of the much maligned democratic party.
 Senate confirmation was not required in the case of Ex-Mayor Sunderland who suc- ceeds Robert J. Hurley as head of the state police department. It is also unlikely that the legislature will attempt to void this nomi- nation by creating triple headed commission, composed of state officials. not including the democratic governor. Mir Sunderland is good successor to Mr Hurley. He is also a member of the governors staff and had fine record during the World war. He sup plements those qualifications with five terms as mayor of Danbury. political achievement of which any man could be proud. We don't think that the democratic party need apolo- gize for its appointees. And if We hear it mentioned that efficient republicans should not be replaced unless they have merted dis missal we retort with the statement that Tn the democratic ranks there are men as well qualified to hold political appointments as in the republican. That the republican party failed to recognize this in past years IS evidence enough that now IS the time for the democrats to remedy the situation

Trout In The Rapidan

It looks now as though there would be fishing in the Rapidan river this summer, af- ter all The stream was practically dried up by last years prolonged drouth. The trout
 were killed. It was thought at first impos- sibIe to restock it for the summer fishing.
 The Bureau of Fisheries now plans to place brook trout of mature age in the Rapidan at President Hoover's summer camp. bringing the fish from rivers in the Maryland mountains. Recent rains have brought the Rapidan and other streams in northwestern Virginia up to about 80 per cent of their normal volume. This will be special service for special pur- pose. There will be many other streams in the country which cannot be restoeked so promptly.

Referendum Needed

Cnneeticut is one of the few states that has not conducted referendum vote on the sub ject of prohibition. There has been no at- tempt to secure sentiment for or against the { state enforcement act since its passage. save the desperate effort made this year to repeal it. The measure. however. was accompanied by too many bills dealing with the same bject in different ways to be of much avail. But for the best interests of the state referendum on the wet and dry question should be held in connection with the state and national eec- tions of l932. Any special election held for the sole purpose of ascertaining sentiment on prohibition would not produce the turnout of voters that will flock the polls in November. l932.
 As to the questions to be balloted upon at this referendum there IS time yet to discuss that. We aren't sure whether we agree with those that Minority Leader Citron proposed to the house of representatives this week. He suggests three for consideration. The first deals with the state enforcement act; the sec ond asks for memorial to congress calling for constitutional convention to discuss repeal of an amendment the last reflects the second very closely, save that 1t mentions specifically the repeal of the 9th amendment. Where three such questions are proposed to the voters the results aren't always clarifying.
 Take the case of the Literary Digest refer endum of 1850. Even to this day there are disputants who aver that the result of this poll was favorable to the wet cause and to the dry cause. Both sides quote the same figures to prove their case. We are inclined to believe that similar results might follow in Connecticut were we to vote on Mir Git ron's three questions. There should be an expression of opinion on the state enforcement act the remarks of Representative Raymond A. Johnson to the contrary. He believes that the state should stand by the constitu- ton come what may. He admits that majority of Connecticut people are opposed to prohibition as it is now administered. but he would refrain from throwing the burden on the federal government.
 If there was some good resulting from the state and local enforcement of the prohibition laws we would join Mir Johnson in his stand. But we cannot see any material good resulting from the united efforts of federal. state. and local agencies warning on violators of the liquor laws. This state is reported in the center of the real wet area of the nation in the privtae data used to produce the Wickefsham report United efforts are not changing the course of events one bit. It is high time that states like Connecticut. which are proud of their inalienable rights. de-

Commissioner Stoeekel has recognized the unfairness of our present laws which exempt municipality from all damages in accidents where fire or police department apparatus are involved. The operator of the city car can be found at fault and damages collected from him. Cases just like that have cropped up in Waterbury and the driver of the fire truck or police patrol found liable for dam- ages. To safeguard against just such contin- geney the city now insures its drivers Every driver should be protected in a similar way. Their duties are hazardous at the least. They deserve every protection possible.

J. HERsCHEL's BIRTH


 On March z, 1792, John Frederick William Herschel, famed English astronomer, and son of the eminent Sir William Herschel, was born near Windsor.
 In 1925, after his education at Cambridge, he began his observation or stars, to which he chiefly devoted himself. His great enterprise was his expedition to the Cape of Good Hope, in 1893, to take observations of the southern Armament. Four teen years later he published his re- suits in volume called one of the most valuable of our time.
 His residence at the cape gave valuable additions not only to as- tronomy but also to meteorology. His observations on the milky way. on the brightness and the color of stars, on the suns rays, on the atmospher- ic air, are all very important.
 Herchel also made valuable re- search into light. sound and celes- tial physics. He is remembered as the first to apply the now universal ly known term 'positive' and negative" to photographic images
