Politics and Personalities

Selecting republican candidate 10 succeed the late Nicholas Longworth as Speaker of the House has become game of eeny. meeny. miney. mo- The variety of names put forward is good indication of the chaos that exists in g.o.p. ranks. Under normal eireumstances Floor Leader John Q. Tilson would be the logical candidate. But when every vote counts. the republicans hardly dare to run such stsuneh Old Guardsman who is not popular with the progressive element. The ssme. in more or less degree. holds true of Bertrand Shell who together with Longworth and Tilson. formed the ruling triumvirate of the House
 No one person appears as suitable bait for both eastern and western votes Representa- tive William Rsmseyer of Iowa is too inde- pendent to please the East. while Representa- tive Fred Purnell of Indiana is too amenable to Administration commands to appeal to his own section of the country. Congressman Will Wood holds prominent position in the House and is Middle Westerner besides. but talk of offering him as compromise eandi- date seems sheer absurdity. Imagine turing the Insurgents to vote for man who has termed their leader. George Norris. "a con. summate demsgogue, Fiorello La Guardia is leader of the so-eslled liberal faction and halls from New York However. La Guar. dia's 100 eolorful personality and his eonspie- uous Haunting of political eonventionalites have detraeted from his reputation as legis- 1Stor People are inclined to regard him as an actor, and few take him very seriously.
 The ruth is that no representative exists who can take the place of the debonair Nick" In spite of his conservatism and his dietatorial tactics he had a hold on members of the House that can be attributed only to his per- sonsl popularity. The republicans not only have lost real leader in the Speakers chair. but it begins to appear that they have lost the speskership itself. If eireumstsnees bear out appearances and ironie fate has taken from democratic John Garner his best friend and given him instead the position which that friend filled with peculiar charm and effee- livsness.

When Boys Aren't Boys

Childish prsnks are often excused with the expression that boys will De boys How ever. we don't think it can be offered in the latest episode in which Yale University stu- dents are implicated. We refer to the incl dent of last Sunday when members of the 102nd Infantry were marching along Elm street toward the Goffe Street Armory prepar- stcry to disbsnding after participating in the Seieheprey Day exercises. As the regiment passed Wright Hall and the Berkeley Oval. it was greeted with eat-calls taunts. and scofe or more of uncomplimentary epithets. One student danced in front of the ranks with large balloon.
 In commenting upon the scene Colonel Lewis L. Field remarked that It was one of the most disgraeeful exhibitions have ever seen. I shall make formal protest to Yale authorities An incident of this sort breeds in the participants the spirit which preeipitates such affairs as marked the 1919 riots which students started By hurling bottles and other missiles out of dormitory windows at the passing troops. In the name of the regiment. which comprises many men who fought in France during the World War. because of the sseredness of the occasion observed yesterday (Sunday) by the regiment. must strongly protest the incident which took place. :"
 There isn't much that can be said for the conduct of these Yale students who partiei- pated in the exhibition of bad manners. Suf- flee it to say it doesn't mean that the majority of Yale men are painted with the same brush although many critics will not discriminate. It is unfortunate that small group can in~ vite harsh criticism of an entire student body Had not the officers of the l02nd Infantry exercised stern control over their men, there might have been a repetition of the 1919 riot which will always be a blot on town and gown relations in New Haven. There should be some reprisal upon the part of the Yale authorities. It is only fair to discipline the offenders. Boys will be boys. it is true. but college students too often are mere show-offs.

Representative John Q. Tilson of New Haven is ready to be the next Speaker of the House. succeeding the late Nicholas Long, worth. according to an interview that he gave the New Haven Journal-C Courier this week. Mir Tilson had the following to say-I am not saying much about the speakership now because it's perhaps little bit too early. The organization of the House does not take place until next December and many things can happen between then and now. However, will state that feel l am in line for promo ton to the speakership which is a matter us- ually in control of the dominant party. was elected as. and still acting as. majority floor leader and thus next in line for the speaker ship and if my party the republican. holds its present margin have hopes of being chosen to lead the body as speaker. It is a matter of party entirely and the margin is now admit tedly close between the republicans and dem- ocrats. expect that my party caucus will nominate me and that alone will carry with it it's floor leadership if we fail to elect the speaker At present 1 do not see any reason for believing that we shall not do So . . ~ This statement. at any rate. excludes all pos sibility of Mir Tilson being Hoovers running mate in l932. But it doesn't prevent him from finding plenty of opposition right within his own ranks for the speakers job.

Parole and Exile

Alfalfa Bill" otherwise known as Gov ernor W. H. Murray of Oklahoma. is acting upon what seems like less than inspired theory of treatment for paroled prisoners. The last three paroles he granted were conditional upon the criminals leaving the state never to return. If they ever set foot within the boun- daries of Oklahoma hereafter they are liable to immediate arrest.
 If prisoner deserves parole because of reformed conduct or discovery of eircum- stances in his favor. he deserves a chance to make good in his home community. If he doesn't deserve parole, it's hard to see why he should have it. to the disadvantage of neigh boring states How would Governor Murray like it if governors in adjacent states began to practice the same scheme and the criminals they paroled all betook themselves promptly to Oklahoma9

New Britain is confronted with its first park marsuders. They removed six rose bushes from Walnut Hill park recently. They were taken at night and the incident is the first of its kind since the rose garden was es- tsblished in the park. From the news item we learn that the garden is right opposite the New Britain General Hospital where patients can enjoy it's beauties in blossom time. Per- haps some day the misereant will be hospital ized. If the park board has taken the pre- caution to erect sign with flaming letters in the spot where the bushes once grew his guilty conscience will bring about confession. Wa terbury has had trouble of this nature in other years. although there have not been any reports of vandalism this year. Bushes, freshly planted, are often removed and no doubt proud owners point to them today as worthwhile purchases CD. Such is life!

Better Homes Week

Better Homes Week is celebrated from April 26 to May in many communities. What constitutes better home? It is not necessarily more costly one. The children from many handsome dwellings behave badly. The merit of home seems to be measured largely by the degree of affection it exeites among it's occupants. If people love their home, that home has accomplished its main ends. It may be tiny cottage. poorly furnished. And yet love has transfigured those dull walls.
 But improvements in home do have a tendency to make people love it. There is a craving for beauty that is jared and wounded if the home is ugly. Human nature demands a refuge after it's toils and if the home provides comfort, people look to it as the parehed traveller longs for the oasis in the desert. Let us then adorn and improve our homes afl we can. sure that such effort will bring rich rewards.

 That's one of the curious facts discovered by the committee on costs Of medical care, which is making surveys and finding out things about physicians, dentists and hospitals The bureau of education, too, has been finding out things concerning medical educafion--such as the fact t;,at the largest enrolment among the 78 medical schools under the United Sattes flag Is at the Univer- sity of St Thomas in the Philippines.

Superstition is costly thing. Just ask the United States Treasury Department Nine people out of ten will refuse a g bill when rendered them. We wish to state at this juno ture that we are the tenth person. The g superstition has existed for as long as we can remember and probably long before that. too. Why people shy at these bills is more than we can understand We never did hear the ex- planation of the superstition. However. to avert danger you tear corner of the bill. When these get back to the mint they must be destroyed and new ones issued. In March. l93l. with 25 working days 1,500.0 $2 bills were issued most of them to replace mu- tilated ones.
