Bar The Saloon

Governor Cross is right in taking the sstand hs/does with regard to the state liquor Jaws. The chief executive is not going to scommit this state to any experiment into (Which the old-time saloon can rear its head. Speaking thus of the old time saloon we do sso with the knowledge that great many of them. perhaps even majority judged by standards set by the old time liquor dealers of Waterbury, were of much higher order than many of our present-day speakeasies. At least they obeyed the laws that the state and city made. At least they contributed large fees annually to the duty constituted author ities. Our present outgrowth of the saloon is neither law-abider nor taxpayer.
 But when Governor Cross speaks of pre- venting the return of the saloon we under stand perfectly what he means And we agree with him that repeal of the state enforcement act at the next session of the local Legis- lature must be approached with caution. Representative John D. Thoms of this city already has in preparation bill designed to repeal the act, thus placing the burden of enforcing the liquor laws upon the federal authorities. The governor believes that the state should enforce its own laws until the federal government repeals the national ones.
 Therefore, Governor Cross proposes that instead of repeating the state enforcement act next year Connecticut might better amend it to conform with any modification of the Volstead Act that Congress may authorize in the coming months. He says. If the congress enacts legislation which will Iegalize the sale of beer, either to 4 per cent, then our state law would have to be amended to meet the conditions. The en- forcement law should not be repealed until the national law is repealed, and even then there should be some state law which would prevent the return of the saloon."
 Much IS bound to happen in the interim before the Legislature convenes The manner in which Congress. at its lame-duck session next month. reacts to wet legislation should act as guide to the way wet states should move. If our course of action parallels that of Congress there can be no complaint from any source, wet or dry. But that the state should act. if Congress fails to heed national sentiment at its short session. is also indicated. Failing to modify the Volstead Act should not mean lack of action by our state solons. Fhe state must do something besides merely mdieating preference as to its tastes in Beverages.

Rainey For Speaker

Representative Henry Rsiney of Illinois
 seems to be in line for the speakership of
 the next House Of course, he's going to
 hove competition for that position
 which Mir Garner will vacate on March 4 1wiien he transfers his allegiance from the
 House to the Senate, as its presiding ofi' eer. Representatives Byrnes of Tennessee.
 McDufie and Bankhead of Alabama.
 OConnor of New York and Rankin of Mississippi are also very much concerned over the outcome. However. Mir Rainey has
 been floor leader for the past congressional
 session and that gives him an advantage on
 the other eligibles.
 But should the democrats tear page
 from the republican book they might make
 contest of the speakership when the
 House is organized next year. The repub-
 licans did that year ago, when they lost !control of the House. As result Colonel
 John O. Tilson of New Haven was busted
 from his high ranking by Representative
 Bertrand H. Shell of New York who now
 reigns as minority leader. In an open con- test between the above named democratic
 gentlemen anyone might be returned the !, winner But with harmony needed we'd
 say that Mir Rainey was the man for the job due to his ranking position.
 { There are many things that can be said for Representative Rainey. In the first place he is not southern democrat which may perhaps please great majority of the north- . ern democrats. Furthermore he represents different section of the nation than both the democratic president-eleet and vice. president-eleet. They come from the north-
 eastern and southwestern sections respee- lively. He is from the middle-wesr. In addi- ] ton it is doubtful if any member of the House. democrat or republican. has better working knowledge of tariff or revenue leg islation than this 73-year old legislator from Illinois. Rainey is by way of being spe- , eialist in this field.
 To counteraet this opponents might point out that this week he reversed himself on the question of immediate modification of the Volstead Act at the short session (which opens December 5. Of course Repre- sentative Raney, as well as all other demo- crats in the House or Senate, can say that they do not feel obliged to work for what their party platform demands of them un- iii the new president and the new Congress are inducted into office. That isn't good excuse. Mr Rainey is not willing to work ssfor modification at the short session, he ' declares. His age might also be brought UT to defeat him. The Speakership is rigorous job and Mir Rainey is not a young man any more. Still and all it will be good man swho beats him.

To-day's Selected Poem
AFTERMATH

(By Helen Welshimer) When your heart is wanting Someone who has gone Where a. taller highway
 Wanders up and oh When you keep recalling
 Little words he said, Lines of strange enchantment From a book he read How his eyes would wander From the page to you, Sudden warm inf1ecting
 That his voice could do-- zhere Is sudden longing
 Tearing up a heart Now and then, long after
 Two have grown apart.
