Always On The Move

The National Womans Party wants a home--a permanent home, No sooner do the ladies settle their headquarters in the na- tional capital than Uncle Sam, like an un- reasonable landlord move to eviot them First, they were cast out of the stately home they had occupied for many years so that room could be made for the new supreme court building. Then after they had selected another site and dedicated their new mansion, it was discovered that the government wanted that particular place for Bureau of Accounts.

However. collection of such pic lures showed no family resemblance whatso- ever In fact. Postmaster General Brown says one of the pictures looked exactly like John J. Raskob And if his picture was used in l932 everyone would say he had bought up the postoffice department to insure the dem- ocratic party of success in the presidential election.

The Relief Of Suffering

In old times great deal of suffering went unrelieved. But today 1t seems intolerabe that anyone should lack food or clothing, or be without fuel in cold weather. People can not live comfortably, if they realize that such suffering exists. Today the nation faces an unprecedented situation, with 750,000 or more people in the drought afflicted districts suffering from hunger. The situation has been about the most difficult thing that the relief forces ever faced in this country, in that so little warning of the extent of this trouble was given.
 With the dislike of our people for appeal ing to charity, most of these victims probably said very little until their supplies were ex- hausted Then all at once wave of hunger spread through the districts where crops were small All at once, the nation was faced with demand for relief the extent of which few people had foreseen. Naturally, there has been lack of time to organize the relief work on scale to deal adequately with such a situation.
 The Red Cross has the finest organization for relief that the world saw. It has accomplished wonders in this situation. But 1t could not accomplish the impossible. Now the question remain5 as to whether the Red Cross can get the money and get 1t to the people in time, or whether the national and state governments will have to help. A time when somewhere toward million people arc hungry and many of them sick and shiverlng, is not much of a time for argument as to how the relief shall be met. Somehow the relief forces must get together and compromise and get the help to them in time. Theories have to give way to facts. The American people must pour out their money in generous offer Ings.

Commemorative Stamps

According to Postmaster General Brown the task of preparing and printing commem- orative stamps IS job that will shortly re- quire division of his department a separ- ate governmental bureau. There will be four issued in l93 and the following year at least twenty And that is what is bringing wrinkles to the forehead of the postmaster general. His department employs but three engravers who are qualified to make the plates from which the stamps will be printed. If Uncle Sam agrees to make many more stamps commemorating special events and historical celebrations Mir Brown will have to invade the field of commercial engravers.
 Count Pulaski. the valiant Polish patriot. will be honored by stamp to be issued this year. lnasmuch as the Red Cross is celebrat- ing its fiftieth anniversary it also will be re- membered with special issue. At first it was decided to use the countenance of Clara Barton in this design but this proved unsatis- factory and stress will now be laid upon the Red Cross symbol The surrender of Corn wallis at Yorktown will also be commemor- ated with stamp this year. For the fourth commemorative stamp twenty applicants are now contending

Defeated At The Start

If the legislative judiciary committee re- turns an unfavorable report on the proposed district court bill 1t will be almost as fatal to the republican party as to second Governor Gross proposal The measure has the en- dorsement of the Connecticut judicial coun- ell. In fact 1t was prepared by this body. It must therefore be heavily subscribed to by the lawyers of the state. Popular approval is also apparent. However. it would deprive the republican party of powerful weapon in its hitherto unbeatable offense. And that weapon is patronage, although we hesitate to link this term with judgeshps.
 Yet it is admitted that much of the re- publican opposition on the judiciary commit tee arises from the fact that the party will be without this form of patronage. And here in we see defeat for the republican party. If 1t admits its dependence upon such political expedients it will have hard time convincing the electorate in 1932 that it is the party to govern the state. Governor Cross has a stra- tegic position in the matter. He views the pro- posed judicial change as non partisan. Demo- crats probably view it with an eye to the fu- ture when the chief executive will have say in minor court appointments.
 As it stands the measure is not perfect That will probably be brought out at the hearing to-day and future ones if necessary. But the thought behind the bill is worthy of endorsement. If it wins that from the judiciary committee 1t will have to face the republican legislature and weather a storm of opposition. The more we think of it the more we feel that it will not be passed. Per haps if the democrats increase their strength in the state proportlonatey two years more will see change in opinion on the part of many republicans. Certainly if the measure were to be made party issue next year it might make them view the change in diff ferent light

pointment. One measure concerns the com mon pleas court of Waterbury: another makes it mandatory for the governor to make all appointments requiring senate confirmation by April l.. And there is still another which requires confirmation of both houses of all eommssionerships All in all the republican party is making quite stir over the accession of democratic governor. It is plainly evil dent that the republican party depends greatly on patronage for its strength in the state. If it didn't 1t would heed the remarks of Governor Cross He has not indicated that he will replace republican office holders with democrats. He has stated simply that such appointments. as are commonly made by the governor, will be merited by the individual and not the party. In other words capability will be the sole guide in nominating man for office, regardless of his politics. Inasmueh as there are capable men in the democratic ranks the republicans can't expect to hold all the positions And we are quite positive that all efforts to decrease the gubernatoral power will fail

A Job We'll Done

The report of William M. Harris on the activities of the Waterbury Anti tuberculosis League tor the past year reveals the work this organization performs so well and also so unostentatiously in this city. Were it not for these annual reports and an occasional mention of contributions many of us would not know that the league in existence. Nor would we realize that it was accomplish ing an immense amount of good in caring for tuberculous sufferers in the early stages of the disease. We are informed that isolation and proper care is essential to the afflicted one. through the efforts of the league this is possible.
 We can't mention the socety's report with out referring to the use to which it has put the municipal isolation hospital on Water town avenue. One entire wing has been turned over to the Waterbury Anti Tubercu losis League. It maintains this as waiting station for tuberculous patients who are seek ing admission to various state sanatoria. Most of us aware of conditions at these inst tutons. We know that their expansion IS being encouraged by both democrats and re- publicans in Connecticut now that conditions are fully realized. Waiting lists at the sana tora so lengthy it often takes a patient a full year to secure admission.
 By providing isolation and at the same time the proper medical care some patients are enabled to fight off the advance of the disease. Some who have been placed in the local isolation hospital have been So helped that it was not necessary for them to go to sanatorium. This work is costly and the financial aid that the league now gets without foo urgent solicitation fails to care for it ade quately Last year the society learned it might be forced to abandon the isolation hospital $s sa waiting station. We hope that amid the burden of financial worries that are thrust upon all of us these days we will not forget that there are those among us who have been deprived of their most valuable asset good
 health. We can help them win it back by friendly cooperation with the Waterbury Anti Tuberculosis League.

UNCLE SAM, WINE-MAKER
(New York Times.)

(New York Times.) Under the heading '"rhe Invitation | to Hypocrisy and Evasion Involved in the Provision as to Fruit Juices" the Wickersham report says: Why home wine-making should l be lawful while home-brewing of | beer and home-distilling of spirits are not. why home wine-making | for home use is less reprehensible than making the same wine out | side the home for home use, and
 why it should be penal to make | wine commercially for use in homes and not penal to make in | huge quantities the material for wine-making and set up an elab- crate selling campaign for dis | posing of them is not apparent. Reading from an advertisement of a California grape concentrate company. whose grape juice," de- livered in five and ten gallon kegs and obligingly bottled after two months by an agent. is warranted to produce eight varieties of wine, in. cluding "rich, dark red burgundy" and dark red Spanish type port" MT Tydings invited any senate: who would say that this wine was not intoxicating to stand up. Tho
 
 mute. What could be said? They knew, too. as MT Tydings said, that the federal farm board has loaned $20.O00,000 to help the California grape growers make and distribute this highly intoxicating stuff. What beautiful pictures!
 With one hand the government is raking in makers and purveyors of intoxicating drinks. With the other it is. lending money to abet and promote their sale. Senator Gould of Maine. who lost his job for having bought the wares of this now overnment-favored industry, is at last vindicated from his con stituents more virtuous than the government. "If you want 20 per cent wine." said MT Tydings. ''it | is all right; but if you want 4 pei cent beer, look out for prison bars"
 With prohibition that doesn't pro hibit, the country has long been familiar. We see it not only protect ing the making of "non-intoxicat- ing" intoxicating cider and fruit juices in the home, but financing the manufacture of highly intoxi- eating wine for as many homes as have the means to buy and store it. Drink all you want or can afford under prohibitions; but so long az that sacred name and system arr
 maintained, don't bother about thu multitude of sins committed unde and sheltered by them. Who say
 prohibitionists are fanatics? The are indulgent souls, perhaps prw pared to be more indulgent # the have [" he.

ATTACK ON LANCASTER

ATTACK ON LANCASTER
 On February 10, 1876, one of the bloodiest assaults of King Phillips's War took place when Philip, in company with his allies, the Nip mucks. attacked Lancaster, Mass.
 Fiske, the historian, vividly de- scribes the assault:
 "On the 10th of that month, at sunrise, the Indians came swarm ing into the lovely village. Danger had already been apprehended, the pastor. Joseph Rowlandson, the only Harvard graduate of 1852, had gone to Boston to solicit aid, and Captain Wadsworth's company was making it's way from Marlborough. but the Indians were beforehand. <
 Several houses were at once sur rounded and set on fire, and men. women and children began falling under the tomahawk. The min- ister's house was large and strongly built and more than 0people found shelter there until at length it took fire and they were driven out by the flames. Only one escaped, 8 dozen or more were slain, and the rest. chiefly women and children, taken captive. :"
 At the end of the month the In- dians followed this assault with shocking massacre at Medfie1d and made murderous assaults on several other western Massachusetts towns.

 Though the skin is stretched and the blood no

New York.-In one of the many side rooms which make up the WABC broadcasting headquarters here, man sits daily with ears strained to catch every voice reach- ing him via a little dark instru- ment.
 At his left elbow is special mi- crophone which carries his voice back to the rehearsal room
 "A little more feeling there, Miss Smith. No. no :. that will not do. :"
 T regret, but that gentleman hasn't radio voice. .''
 Thus it goes on. And he scrib- bles down notes that he cannot see.
 For one of the very important fig ures in cast selection for broadcast ing is done by man whose eyesight has failed. He is Augustin Duncan and he cannot see the players he se- lects for various roles. Yet he Is looked upon as one of the outstand- ing directors of the air.
 There's no particular reason, after all. why broadcast director should see his players or speakers.
 No one in the audience of mil lions listening in ever sees them. The entire effect is oral, and Dup- cans ears are particularly Sensitive to all sounds. He is, in fact, par ticularly competent to judge his players.
 Connected with the theater for many years, he is an expert on tone and voice expression.
 New York's most earnest and hard-working producer remains, aft ar U0 frnf rrv Miss Eva Le Gallienne. whose troupe of repertoire players have made something approximating theater his- tory in this mans town. She was, you may recall, awarded a medal of honor season or two back.
 Miss LesGallienne is the one stage figure in Manhattan who actually lives in her theater.
 When she took over an ancient playhouse in 14th street, she fitted out an apartment on the top floor and tricked it out with a sort of connecting roof garden for the sum- mer season. Thus she has merely to run up and down stairs to attend does her own producing and appears in considerable number of the productions.
 An ambitious young woman, she has not only added half dozen new plays this year. but now plans a road tour as well.
 Just to get a little rest on the road" she puts it.
 Having ventured so many blocks from Broadway, Miss Le Gallienne seldom returns to 1t. She is seen in the bright lights belt about once a month and then usually at some matinee performance or on an eve- ming when she does not appear as an actress.
 She is just 31, but started her the- ater movement at 28. And, as you doubtless know, she's the daughter of Richard Le Gallienne. the fa- nous poet.
 If you believe her, she has barely started with her experiment, for she also took a 10-year lease on her the- ater. M

Washington. The rumor that Major, General Smedley Butler of the marines plans to run for the sen ate in Pennsylvania in 1882 against Senator James J. Davis is believed by some of the generals friends. but without any confirmation from But Ter himself
 It is made all the more interesting by the likelihood that he would have the enthusiastic support of Governor Clifford Pinehott. The two men have d mutual admiration and Pinchot re- gently offered Butler a place in his ca binet at Harrisburg, which the general declined. They also share an intense hatred of the powerful Philadelphia political machine, which put Davis over last year to fill the seat to which Boss Bill Ware had been elected only to be rejected and which Joe Grundy filled temporar- ily.
 Pinchot has been in bitter political fights with the gang" Butler en- countered it and learned to hate 1t in his two years as Philadelphia's di- rector of public safety when 1t thwarted his law enforcement et- forts.
 Some of the Davis people have been suggesting lately that Pinchot had inspired Senator Nye and hls committee to try to ''get" Davls on account of huge campaign expedi- lures. That idea is commonly deemed absurd, but emphasizes the fact that the Davis and Pinchot groups don't love each other. Pin chot naturally would rather that one of the Pennsylvania senators be a friend and sympathizer. Ana II Butler gets an open court-martlal he lis sufficiently brilliant and colorful to build up his own political pos abilities.
 Butler and President Hoover, who approved his court-martlal, are now the worlds two most conspicuous Ouakers. Both are of the Hicksite sect. although the president switched to attendance at the Orthodox Friends church here, where there is less chance of commotion, soon after inauguration. Both men were Tn China during the Boxer rebellion distinguishing themselves In dlHer- ent ways Some of Hoovers ances- tors came from Pennsylvania, Whlch is Buffers home state.
 Despite their Quaker rearing Hoover has become commander-ln- chief of the army and navy by vir- tue of election to the presidency and Butler more than 30 years ago deliberately took up military lire as an avocation. Now he may rol- low Hoover into politics. Neither of these two illustrious Frlends says "three" and thou" but both are capable of the strongest kind of language in private conversation.

attention the Italian dictator's high handed methods of government Well everybody concerned is being accused of stupidity. Butler obvious ly, one would say, pulled bloomer. Around the navy department one one hears that the court-martial is another Stimson blunder,' that after his profuse apology to Musso- lini Stimson talked the navy heads into the trial.
 You see how the gossip goes. The decision to court martial Butler in stead of letting him off with repri- mand came as a surprise to nearly everyone, so there has been a thriv- ing market for explanations.

Governor Joseph B. Ely of Massachusetts whose first official act was to secure passage of bill assuring immediate relief for the unemployed and needy of his state doesn't believe that the pay-asyou- -go- policy satisfies all conditions. He is advocating bond issues to care for major improvements that cannot possibly be taken care of while the state is remaining true to the safe and sane program of advancement. Under the present condi- tions he believes that bond issues are of great advantage. Materials are low in price, labor is cheap. Both these factors encourage state projects that m ght not have been undertaken under pay-as- you-go system for years. In resurfacing roads and straightening highways fifty million dollars could be saved the com monwealth prominent engineer told the governor. We don't suppose this condition holds true in Massachusetts any more than in Connecticut.
