A Book a Day
Too Weak For Riches, Family

by BRUCE CATION

The way in which the weak and
foolish can dissipate a fortune
amassed by their more capable
ancestors forms the theme Of
House Of Vanished Splendor,'
by William McNally.
In this book Mr. McNally pre-,
sents US with the Knott family
holders of q proud name in thu
upper Mississippi valley. and ocI
cupants Of a huge, castle-like homo
along the Mississippi q little below
Minneapolis.
There are FIVE whose actioni
combine to bring about disaster
the widow of the man who bull
up the fortune, and her four chill,
dren, two sons and two daughters
One son Ii a profiigate idler, thu
other is a Woodworking but utterI
ly incapable nincompoop. Ont
daughter has a religious mania and
let's the world wag as it will. com
tent to wrap herself up In dreamsl
the other is a hard, brittle creaturI
who has never learned how to gov|
ern her temper.
These I'VE, between them, com
trive to destroy their heritage
The bulk Of the estate VANISHED

mother. That which remains dis
appears because none OF the chill
dren has any idea how to save II
In the end nothing Of the family'l
greatness remains but the housl
itself, and it has passed into thS
hands of strangers.
Mr. McNally takes a long time II

GARNER TO RUN FOR TWO
OFFICES
(New York Herald-Tribune)

John Nance Gamers constitu-
ents in the 18th Texas District say
they are going to renominate and
re-elect him to congress in Novem-
Der. From this distance 1t would
look as though they had little faith
in the success of the democratic
national ticket, OF which their hero
is the vice-Presidentia1 end by rea-
son Of the sharp deal made by Will
liam Gibbs McAdoo and William
Randolph Hearst at Chicago. II
Mr. Garner Is to be elected vice.
president, 1t would seem bit fool
ish not to elect his SUCCESSOR in
congress at the same tfme.
Down in Texas, however, they
explain that their plan Isl largely
one Of compliment to Mr. Garner;
and then, Of course, they probably
have in mind that II by any
chance the national ticket ID to
be defeated they would want Mr.
Garner to remain in the house and
Texas to continue to be honored
with the speakership.
The plan Is perfectly feasible, for
under our system the people do not
vote directly for president and
|vice-president, but for electors. Mr.
Gamers name would appear only
once on the ballot. Moreover, there
Is no law in New York state, or
in any state. so far as election
authorities here know, to prevent
a persons name from appearing
on the ballot as a candidate for
more than one Office.
II Mr. Garner should be chosen
vice-president custom would per-
NIT him to, serve as speaker of the
house right through the life OF the
present 72d Congress, or until
March a, 1933.

Federal Aid Assured

NJ Under the terms of the new relief bill
just passed by Congress and now awaiting
president -Hoovers signature Connecticut can
secure any amount up to 100000 up
son application to the Reconstruction Finance
[ Corporation. This is the maximum of IS
kper cent of the S30O.000.000 available for
relief work in the states According to re-
ports from Washington thirty states are now
preparing to make application or already
have. Pennsylvania through Governor Pin
s<hot has asked for $45, 100000; Illinois for
$4,000, 900. Various amounts are asked
by other states to enable them to combat
with relief problems that have already ex-
Ehausted their available funds and made in
roads into money intended for other pur-
poses.
Should Connecticut through Governor
Gross make application for part of this
gigantic fund, we can see where there would
be necessity of the Legislature being called
into special session. unless the money could
not be obtained before 1893. Disposition
of the money would certainly involve legis-
lative action even if Governor Cross did
formulate plans for the same. The chief
executive of this state has SO little actual
power. save that of few appointments.
that it would be practically compulsory TO
call both houses together TO make provis-
ions to apportion the state share among
the l6o towns and cities that would be
demanding relief.
OF course. il is not necessary that the
money be apportioned in this fashion. We
merely mentioned il. because we imagined
shat various cities and towns would appre'
eiste some share OF IT, in order that they
might balance their budgets now out OF

No matter what the prohibitionists do
or say they don't seem able to convince
Senator Borah that he should head their
ticket next fall. They have already selected
former representative William D. Upshaw
of Georgia for that honor but he is ready
to step aside in Borah's favor should the
necessity arise But the senator from Idaho
seems to prefer his present status first and
his conviction on the liquor issue second.

At Groton Again

The democratic party is getting supersti-
tious. 1t has again chosen Groton as its
meeting place for the biennial state conven-
ton at which the state ticket will be named
No doubt the fact that two years ago at
Groton the democratic party nominated
Governor Cross influenced members of the
. state central committee in deciding upon the
same place for the 1882 gathering. 1t is a
nice cool place for convention and early
September is apt to be extremely warm SO
perhaps there were other considerations than
I that Of good luck behind the choice. How
ever Groton wasn't picked without a muir
muir of protest.
There was wei defined opposition from
Litchheld county members of the commit
tee. They claimed that many of the dele
gates from the northwestern part of the
| state were put to some expense to travel all
the way down to the eastern corner OF
course. that's true, too. And in these days
we don't blame anybody to complain about
the distances they have to travel to nominate
candidates for public office. There is always
/ sound reasoning behind any scheme to con-
vene in a central location. That's why
nine times out of ten. Hartford is picked
for conventions not merely political but fra
ternal and other kinds. But of recent years
with modern transportation facilities there
1 has been an increased tendency to seek other
than the centrally located towns That's
why Groton on the Sound appeals to so
many, even those who have to 60 long dis
tanecs to get there.
We were glad to see that the state central
committee considered no other candidate for
the gubernatoral nomination than the pres
Y cit incumbent. Without doubt Governor
Cross can repeat his splendid victory of 1880
this fall In fact we would not be sur
l prised to see him carry the entire ticket
/ into office this year. His. popularity has
/ Increased as voters, democratic, republican,
and independent have seen his conduct of
public affairs. Had he been given the CO.
operation of the Legislature last year he
might have accomplished much needed re-
forms in this state. dealing with taxation,
old age pensions, administration of relief
locally. and our minor court system. We
! feel sure his efforts will be rewarded at the
epolls next November with a splendid vim
dication.
4 For this reason. and if necessary this alone.
|. the democrats should make of their Groton
meeting in early September triumphal en-
| dorsement of Governor Cross. Careful con-
. sideraton should, of course. be given to
the remaining places on the ticket as well
las to the choice of candidate for U. S.
Senator and congressman at-large. We
presume that in the congressional districts
this same djscernment and anticipation of
victory will influence the choice of eandi-
dates Connecticut is still ranked in the
doubtful category by even the Hartford
I Courant. 1t points to the fact that Presi-
dent Hoover is held in poor esteem by local
srcpublieans need for strong republic
gcan state ticket. That is encouraging news
TO the democratic and independent voters
The victory is half won, but let us make 1t
sure by strenuous efforts between now and
November.
