More Worlds To Conquer

Man has accomplished SO much in the past century that he sometimes stands agape in awe of his own handiwork. He has made amazing strides in science, in solving vari- ous riddles of the universe, increasing pro- duction on farm and in factory, taking bur. dens off human shoulders, healing disease, and so on. He flies through the air in safety and comfort and speeds over the ground and the sea- It is all creditable achievement - as far as it goes. Just to keep him from getting conceited about his progress, one might list some of the things in which man has not done so well.
 In the United States alone it is expected that it will be necessary for charity to feed 25,000,0O0 people this winter. Police forces and social workers say that there are 100000 boys and young men wandering jobless and irresponsible over the land with peril to character and health. There are 100000 child laborers. There are poor houses because there are indigent old folks who must be put under public care There is startling inability to distribute effective ly the vast production made possible by i'm proved methods and machines.
 A black picture can be painted of mans shortcomings. It does not make the picture any pleasanter, either, to say that it is not SO black as might have been painted cen5 tury or so ago. It seems obvious that man has been lot smarter along some lines than along others But why be discouraged? This leaves some big opportunities ahead Man need not become bored with his own successes. The biggest adventure - master ing himself and his machines is yet to be had

 Having been given job (and that no easy one) he is devoting his attention to it. We are not used to such tactics, but we are certainly glad to note that as yet it has not proved to be too much of surprise to the powers that be in New York city. We wouldn't be surprised to find the voters in November demanding the retention of Mayor Mckee in the office to which he suc- ceeded by virtue of his position as president of the board of aldermen. He certainly is entitled to such upon the basis of what he has done and the way he has done it in the few brief moments that he has been mayor,

Tammany Turns Lit'ry

In view of the present political situation in New York city, it is interesting to learn that the veteran Tammany leader of Brook lyn is writing three volume work entitled, "A Half Century of Practical Politics As Told by John H. McCooey." There is special punch in this news because the author has long been known as Close Mounted McCoote.' If he is now telling a.r.,es knows he may be producing best seller.
 Unfortunately the edition is to be limited to 250 sets, to cost $l00 apiece, bound n' Persian Morocco, lined with silk and edged with gold. Literary acclaim might lead Mir MeCooey to do what many another author has done, and get out popular edition. Especially if he deals frankly and adequately with the reign of Mayor Jimmy Walker

Angus P. Thorne, superintendent of pub lie welfare in Bridgeport believes that special session of the Legislature will be nec- essary to take care of the relief problems of Connecticut municipalities. This is the first indication that his survey of the state, con ducted under the advice of Governor Cross, may demand such legislative session. Its contents, received by the governor shortly before the democratic state convention, have not yet been divulged nor has MT Thorne given any inkling of what his report con- tained All the state learned was that Bridge port, Waterbury. New Britain, and Bristol were four communities whose relief agencies were taxed to the utmost and hence were in dire need of state aid. As yet no public official in this city has voiced any such need SO Mir Thornes findings are based solely on his investigation here and not upon the ad- vice of any city official or relief group. However Governor Cross has asked State Tax Commissioner Blodgett to prepare measure which wis permit state aid in case the special session is necessitated. If the state does come to the assistance of various communities we wonder how it can avoid bond issues or short term notes. Of course, communities can be permitted to exceed their legal borrowing limit but, will many com munities find ready lenders in such an in stance. We don't think so

The death of Rear Admiral George P. Colvocoresses, U. S. N., retired. removed one of Litchheld's eolorful characters. The Colvocoresses home on East street was well known to residents and visitors as was the admiral himself. Although not a native of colonial Litehheld he was, born in New Eng land, Norwich, Vermont to be exact. His acquaintance with the sea began at the early age of 14 when he accompanied his father as captains clerk. He served aboard the U. S. S. Supply and the Saratoga in the Civil War Altogether he spent 45 years in the Navy, an enviable record. Litchheld loses a prominent figure and the country a naval hero.

The Blow That Killed The G. O. P.

!. While we have never placed much cred
 fence in the oft-quoted saying that as Maine llgoes, SO goes the nation. it is easy to sur-
 I'nnise what can happen now throughout the !lnation with the democrats in control of two .,of the three congressional seats and also the
 [ 'sovernorship. Not since 1914 has there
 ..lbeen a democratic governor And from ! that date back to the Civil war there were
 ,lonly two democratic governors. Is it any .'wonder that democrats of New England. and particularly Maine, are jubilant ,today? Perhaps they may be excused for a few taunts and jeers that they will hurl in {, the faces of their republican friends. They 1, have watched Maine go republican year af- i,ter year and have been forced to believe that Fit forecasted go.p. victory in the country. 1, Of recent years republican publicity de-
 !. partments made fine use of the belief to win more votes than they actually had be- ], fore election day. We can well imagine !, that many faltering voter was steadied by ! the outcome in Maine. He wanted to be Jon the winning side and he was guided {, Accordingly. The psychology oftthe Maine 1 expression was just right for such purposes. !. And yet it could have been exploded time and again had democratic leaders chosen to N do a little research work. Even today I Maine can't be considered democratic
 state. It may become one, for undoubtedly
 1 political opinions are changing right now
 i, and when conditions are back to normal !, again party lines may be realigned.
 ! But even as the republicans gained con-
 isfidence from their customary victories in
 Maine, so will the democrats now fairly
 ,,ooze with it. And rightly so, for it IS some t'tking when the democrats carry Maine. It lis feat to be shouted from the house tops. ! And we wouldn't blame the national demo- cratic headquarters one bit for exulting so I loudly that the general public could hear. {. We'd certainly do the same thing. It IS time that the republican party got dose of \ its own medicine. It has been on the pan { foc the last three years. Since its conven- .lton, it has been its old confident self, con- l'fident in the belief that it has hoodwinked !. the populace once more into the belief that f prosperity and republieanism go hand in 1 hand We hope it won't be necessary to { cram this Maine voting business down the {, throats of our republican brethren. but if necessary, we certainly shall return the
 ,, compliments that we have been forced to
 ! swallow for years.

 On the democratic side one finds similar tactics in use, although the minority party is so busy disparag- ing Hoover and his record that 1t doesn't have to go far into the s. o. p.'s internal troubles beyond capitalizing the sorrow of many republicans who wish they had arl- other candidate.
 Roosevelt actually goes out and appeals to all good republicans to repudiate Hoover. He concentrates not on the party, but it's leadership, urging it's members to purge 1t of an unfortunate affliction for which the party, he says, is much too good. ry4E 6,.

A Tragedy Averted

< If as reports indicated this morning. the ,, flying Hutchinsons had been rescued from
 the ice floes of Greenland, this nation will breathe sigh of relief. First reports. yes- , terday that the plane, City of Richmond. and its eight occupants, husband. wife, two children. and four passengers, had gone to I watery graves in the ice fields of the far north brought shudders from even the most hard hearted. It seemed such tragic end ] ing for this happy family that had been !, gaining fame for its air performances. he I flying Hutchnsons were blazing new air ] trails and in new manner. Families are | not accustomed to utilize the air routes. ], This family did SO and successfully.
 There were many of us who regarded the !. flight to England as one of rashness and ',too little consideration for the wife and ], children. if not the lives of the male pas {. sengers. Voyages from continent to cont- .,nent, especially through the air, are attended by too many perils at this stage to be per formed with the idea that all is well and ! skill can overcome any and all obstacles. ' Some of our most daring aviators, whose Z, flying ability equalled their bravery. were Host somewhere between Europe and Amer sica. It is hard for us to reconcile ourselves !. to the thought that to transport an entire ]. family, including children of a tender age, |, from the United States to England in an 1, airplane constitutes progress in aviation. < To be sure 1t is an achievement but suppose the airplane had not been picked up nby vessel. Suppose it had cracked up on .the ice floes or plunged into the icy waters. 7 It would then be simply one more failure at crossing the ocean. To be sure the route the !, flying Hutehinsons followed was not as
 ' dangerous as that other ocean flyers have chosen. Their course carried them along
 z coastlines and across only narrow ocean
 barriers. Maybe we are unduly pessimstic. but we certainly hope that no more flying
 !, families will take to the air for continent
 !. girdlng flights until the air channels have
 been eharted as well as those on land and

A NEURAsTHENIC PROTEST WORTH
 HEARING

I am a young woman recovering from se- were case of neurasthenia, she writes. Seems to me, MT Brady, your education on tne olsor, 4 ders of nerves has been sadly neglected, ano what you don't know about the subject would fill 8 big book For five months my eyes did not close ,. in sleep rerIoua aod nos talk to members of my family {. your teach ings about this denote ignorance :. T, any neurasthenic will tell you he has a morbid self- consciousness and inferiority complex would like to see you develop bad of neurasthenia and then hear you speak your little piece-it would have a different tune, I'll wager you that finally surgeon dls- covered after a thorough examination tumors
 There. What did I tell you? quote from my article published July IT, 1892: ,.-
 "I believe the majority of folk who at-
 tribute their i'll health to nerves or neuras-"
 thenia or nervous weakness of one kind or
 another have something really the mat
 ter. Nevertheless know that in a. good
 many instances bad nerves is purely an
 alib by means of which the neuracketeer
 ducks lodges, evades ,pretends, makes be-
 lieve, plays the snob seek to make folks
 think he is better than the common run.
 puts on airs in short plays everything put
 an honest part with himself and his fel-
 lows'
 This indignant young lady is right when she says what I don't know about nerves would fill g large book-ft fills many large books Her 500word protest confirms the truth Of my teaching about nerves
 There is no such thing as nerve energy, strength, power, and hence there can be no exhaustion of nerve power. This Is physiologi- cal, and I state the physiological fact unequiv- ocally and without fear of competent contra diction. /
 This young woman who has suffered so much from the "nervous'' obsession is so deeply ob- sessed that even now, when, she says, the diagnosis of her real trouble has been made, she rails at me because I try to lead other vic- tims of the obsession toward the light.
 At point in her harangue she quotes some unidentified physician as having remark ed that he'd rather have both his legs cut off than suffer with nerves as she did I'll bet a barrel of olives against bitter feeling that such mush not uttered by the doctor who diagnosed the patients real trouble. It sounds more like the soothing talk of one of these dear doctors, very dear, who permit patients who have the price to muddle along with the bad nerves" obsession. 'r-
 Get it clear in your delicate mind, dear dumbbell: I believe the majority of "neuras- thenics' deceived, but minority of them are working bad nerves as racket. In or der to bring understanding to the real vic- tims I must endure the fury of the racketeers exposed

Washington-Issues between the two old parties being either too scarce or too controversial, they have taken enthusiastically to the business of washing each others dirty linen and waving it before the public.
 Both sides capitalize the squab- bles, the discontents and the clos the other party. Republicans seek to poison the minds of democrats against democratic candidates and democrats try to play the same trick on the republicans. Each harps on the others unfortunate domestic troubles to a degree that suggests the difficulty they encoun- ter in finding more attractive ap- peals to the voters.
 For instance, about every other statement issued through the re- publican national committee under the name of one of the g. o. D.. statesmen has @ wisecrack or two about the feud between Al Smith and Governor Franklin Roosevelt or the way the latter and Jack Garner were nominated. That would seem to be strictly democratic busi- ness, of course, but whenever a party is trying to heal it's own wounds 1t Is the other party's pol icy to pull off the scabs and rub salt in them.
 The committee issues a statement ascribed to Senator Vandenberg of Michigan which discusses Gamers references to the tariff, and it can not refrain from a1luding to "the Hearst McAdoo deal in his behalf" After Ro0sevelt's speech at Seagirt, N. J., there was lopg statement from Congressman Hull of Peoria. Ill.,, purporting to give inside stuff on the democratic convention and the way the democratic prohibition plank came to be adopted. The re- publican committee also issued a letter from one of the party's con- gressmen asking Garner why he didn't come to the telephone when Al Smith tried to telephone him from Chicago just before the nom- ination.
 Then there was the statement of the famous Senator George Higgins Moses of New Hampshire, a lead ing party spokesman, who deplored the allegedly shabby way in which Roosevelt had treAted Smith. Re- calling the anti Catholic propagan- da which George used. against Al in the 1928 campaign, one can inn agine the tears he must be shedding now.
 Untif lately many of the official republican, razzberries have been Wheeler, Dill and Long, three pro- gressives, were prominent among the Roosevelt supporters at Chi cago. Failure of any of the three
