Tolerance

Religious tolerance in American public life is increasing. In the recent election four Catholics were elected to the United States Senate. making total of eight Cath ollie senators. There will also be number of Catholics in the House. and some Jews Four states after January will have Jewish governors These are Herbert H. Lehman of New York. Henry Horner of Illinois. Arthur Seligman of New Mexico. and Julius L. Meier the last two of whom are re- elected The Catholic senators represent Connecticut Iowa. Nevada. Wisconsin Montana, Arizona. Massachusetts and Rhode Island.
 The question of religion was raised very little in this campaign directly or indirectly. says an article in the Catholic News of New York The hundred percent American slogan seems to have been thrust into storage along with other political elap-trap of for gotten campaigns. It is generally recognized that the chances of dragging it out again are religion nor race was made qualification for political office. Catholics. Protestants and Jews were to be found in the front ranks of both political parties" Which is as it should be- The nation is growing in toler- ance and understanding. Who could have expected this decade ago. in the heyday of the Ku Klux Klan? That body itself has been growing tolerant.

Rural Industry

A mechanical engineer. himself located in one of the big cities of the Middle West. points out that the machine tool industry. his speciality. has always flourished as sem- rural industry in New England. and still continues to do so. He speaks particularly of the way this industry which is the basis of the modern machine age has continued to prosper for hundred years in Vermont. almost regardless of booms and de- pressions. Workers there live largely on farms in the vicinity of the industrial towns, working in the machine shops when busi- ness is good. retiring to their farms when it is bad, and in ordinary times managing to combine the two pursuits in some such way as Henry Ford has been urging, as a new idea. during the last ten years.
 It seems to this engineer as to many others including. it is said, President Elect Rooseve1t<- that this is one of the best ways to stabilize industry hereafter. With such a spread of manufacturing, link ing farm and shop. the big cities will lose nothing, because they will be far less help less. with smaller burden to carry in times of low production; while the smaller cities and towns and the rural areas depending on them will be far less dependent on the price of crops. Industry is already taking this course more than it has done for half century The future of the country may depend largely on continuing in the. same direction.

minating some of our more highly prized trees, shrubs, vines and even herbaceous plants, because of indiscriminate and reckless cut ting. The average American woods man has never had the training in forestry that is common in Euro- pean countries. Too frequently men have encroached upon the pro- perty of others, cut down trees,
 even cut off the tops of larger trees and hauled them away. Own CTS of woodland, too,. have not all ways understood how to insure q cutting. The consequence is that many plantations of conifers have
 been ruthlessly or ignorantly des- troyed. z. To discourage such practices the Forestry Service of the United States government is attaching red tags to trees that may be cut for
 thinning, and is urging the public to buy only red-tagged trees. The
 tag is an assurance that cutting
 that tree is an aid to conservation.
 An exception Is madc in favor of
 balsams, which may be bought
 without bangs of conscience"
 They are the tweed trees" of the
 forest, but make satisfactory
 Christmas trees because of the

Charity Begins At Home

On the assumption that charity begins at home we presume that the United States should display extreme lenience towards our debtor European nations. It is with this view in mind that the Osservatore Romano. official paper of Vatican City, pleads for International charity. The journal has just pointed out that immediately after the war the United States showed that charity and justice cannot be separated Keeping this in mind the United States the paper observed, must temper its debt demands
 We don't believe there is one person in the United States who wants any of the nations in Europe who owe us money to be reduced to, dire straits by so doing. If the American public believed for one instant that strong nations would be rendered help less and weak by meeting their obligations promptly and fully it would force Congress to wipe them all off the credit ledgers But we are forced to far different beliefs by the very attitude that these nations adopt
 Most of us are now convinced that in addition to charity we should find another quality present in connection with wartdebts We are of the opinion that disarmament goes hand in hand with their cancellation. And to date what nation in Europe has shown any disposition to disarm? On the contrary ali are preparing themselves for another great conflict The United States is pesse-lov- ing country. It is made up of the descend, ,nts of people who fled from persecution and fxife to Iasds where they might enjoy peace.

So the Sap Got Taken!

"A Young Man of Tifty." by Rose Field, is the ironical and a. musing tale of sap and how he finally got taken.
 The sap in question is a dealer in rare books. a chap who is get ting on in middle age but who still is quite a lad among the ladies. He's no phillanderer, to be sure; indeed, through all his countless affairs, he has remained strictly virtuous. It's just that he cannot live without getting into an emo- tional entanglement with some woman. So his life is dotted with 6 long series of platonic love af- fairs, in which he nourishes his soul by standing as best friend, unselfish counsellor and chivalrous protector. ;. .... ........ !
 Indeed, this incredible ass can go to the length of establishing a woman in an apartment and SUD- porting her for more than year without--believe 1t or not--asking anything more than chaste kiss on the brow in payment. !. .....'
 We'll, all goes along swimmingly for a long time. until finally the man chances to bump into a beau-i tiful but hard-boiled young chorus gal; and then ,as you can imagine, the fireworks are touched off. It takes her a little while he appre- ciate what a monumental sucker the fates have dropped in her lap. but once she gets wise she goes through him the way sherman went through the sunny south.

ENGLISH As SHE IS SPOKE
tNew Haven Journal-courier)

(NeW Haven JOurnai-C0urler) At the convention here of the New England Association of Teach CTS of English, Professor Frederick A. Pottle of Yale Issued declar- alton of independence for the ad- herents of an evolving language. We have done" he said, with the notion of correctness as apart from usage. |. The rules of the fu- ture will describe the best prac- tice without attempting to reform It."
 This is an old question and one that has been hotly debated genera tion ater generation. The idealist in matters of language would in- sist upon formality and precision. upon strict adherence to the arbi- trary rules of grammar as derived from Latin. The realist wishes to alter those rules as r..pfdly as ma jority usage disregards them. Of re- cent months the argument has waged over the symbolic phrase Its me-" It has been said that the guardian of the pearly gates could differentiate a school teacher from the common herd by his precise answer Tt is T." The realists fol- lowing Professor Pottle, maintain that the mere rule concerning the nominative case for predicate noun should not invalidate the prevalent usage.
 On this problem 1t seems im- possible for teacher of English to hold to the mean of compromise. Inevitably he swings to one ex- treme or the other. And to the layman, each extreme seems pre- posterous. That rules of grammar should ignore popular usage seems as ridiculous as that they should continually tag along behind popu- lar usage. Let our gfammarians have periodic set-to. Let them establish the rules for present usage and stick to them in every class room throughout the land until once more revision becomes necessary.

' Washington.-The prohibition issue may be settled by the great est national plebiscite in the his tory of the world.
 If 1t isn't, our greatest Icon stitutional lawyers" at least vii have had spectacular field day. The point they must fight ou as to prohibition is a nice one or a mean one, as you prefer Everybody knew all along that tn. awesome shadow of unconstitu tionality loomed over almost an, beer bill that might be passed since the Constitution prohibiti intoxicating beverages and there il no final authority, this side of ths supreme court, as to the percent. age of alcoholic content whereai beer becomes intoxicating.
 But now the issue of constitu. tionality Is plunged into the repea fight as well. The stake is simpl, the possibility that the 18tf amendment may be repealed with. in few months instead of tho uncertain number of years whicf would elapse before three-fourth: of the states were willing to cal conventions to, pass on g repea amendment.
 Regardless of whether any re- peal measure can pass In this ses. sion, the present Congress or the next Congress, acting in special session if necessary, is expected to be ratified by AS state conven- tions of specially elected dele gates.
 If these conventions can only be called and staged by act of state legislatures there Is no telling how long 1t would take before 36 state conventions would have met and acted.
 But if Congress can decree the conventions, set Q date for them oE time limit within which they must be held and tell the states just how they are to be oper- ated, we will have that mammoth, unprecedented national referen- dunn within relatively brief period.
 Former Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer, who handled the democratic repeal plank at the Chicago convention and is believed to represent President-elect Roose- welt here on the issue, says con- gress has that power--that ratifi- cation is a federal function and en- tirely under the Jurisdiction of congress. Speaker Garner and other House democratic leaders appear to agree and to favor pas sage of an act which will provide for state conventions within a stipulated period. They have the support of some of the acknow!- edged experts on constitutional procedure.
 Palmer cites certain advantages of the plan--such as uniform pro- cedure, early decision, avoidance of a long period of notification and quick relief for the treasury in case the people really want re- peal.
 And he backs 1t up with a series of citations from supreme court decisions, to prove that the states have no general or implied power with reference to constitutionai

amendments; that ratification by a legislature or state is not held to be an. act of legislation, that, in ] the words of the supreme court, "The function of state legisla- ture in ratifying proposed amendment to the federal consti. tuition, like the function of Con. gress in proposing the amendment, is federal function, derived from
 the federal constitution; and it transcends any limitations sought
 to be imposed by the people of a state"
 The group of constitutional lawyers opposing the idea of con- gressional Jurisdiction appears to have been taken by surprise but says, jst the same, that the idea is absurd. Article five of the Consti- tuition wouldn't give anyone but a ~constitutional lawyer" the faint est clue. It merely makes the method of ratification optional be- tween legislatures and the conven- ton system. Thus far all amend ments have been handled by legis- latures and the ordinary supposi- ton has been that ratification con- ventions must be called and arr ranged by the legislatures.
 The two most distinguished .'constitutional lawyers" in the Senate are Tom Walsh of Montana and Borah of Idaho. And they are both violently opposed to the Palmer theory--a fact which adds to the promise of q spectacular fight of enormous popular interest.

A TREASURE
(Hartford Times)

| i.
 The news of the sale this week of one of Gilbert Stuart's paintings of Washington for the sum of $10,- 800 emphasizes the value of the Stuart Washington owned by the state of Connecticut. The interest," ing story as to how the state came into possession of this fine portrait which hangs tn Memorial hall of the state library. is not new but there are doubtless many citizens who still have never heard of 1t.
 The picture was painted by Stu art for the state of North Carolina which ordered a portrait of Gen eral" washington. When finished 1t disclosed the father of his c0un- try in civilian clothes standing be- side a table. Probably 1t was an excellent likeness but 1t was un-s acceptable to the Tar-Heel state, whose ofIicials reminded the artist that they had ordered a portrait of AGeneral" washington, not of "Afr'' Washington.
 The painting was on the market and Connecticut bought it. It has refused numerous offers to sell 1t as we'll as declining suggestlons that 1t be sefst out of the state to be exhibited on various occasions.
 Tn spite of the fact that there is a record of as many as 124 por- traits of Washington by Stuart and 1t is believed that the number may reach 200. Connecticut is extreme- ly fortunate to possess one of them. Its citizens may be thank full to those of an earlier day who had the foresight to acquire q masterpiece even though North Carolina had spurnsd it.

After years of vicissitudes this famous show place of New York went under the hammer last week for $100.000. plus $3.000.000 in judgments and back taxes. The Hippodrome was once upon time the goal of every actor and actress. To have trod its boards was to have become famous. It was built in 1905 and the spec taeles produced in it in the early days were long talked about by theatergoers.
