 Perhaps the astute Mir Coolidge will &C., eede to these demands. but then again he may not care to travel SO far in the. inter- est of man for whom he never had ex- pressed liking until this year. And even then it wasn't liking it was duty that made him break his silence. Yes indeed. the re- publican party must have the western vote all sewed up when it is forced to call upon both a president and an ex-president to campaign there.

Connecticut True To Form

Reports from the small town elections in Western Connecticut, and especially the fifth congressional district are not for the most part highly encouraging. but in the main about as to be expected. Republican rock k-ribbed Connecticut is running true 10 form, despite the licking it has taken the past three years under republican regime The townsfolk in the sticks, being evi- dcntly of hardier stock, take to hard times better than their city brethren.
 However, aside from this complexion or the vote in Connecticut the fact does not entirely exonorate the apparent attitude Of goodly part of the democratic voters towards the democratic candidate for presl- dent this year. There exists, despite all assertions to the contrary, an apathy which is hard to understand in the exceptional times the country is going through. II President Hoover can be entirely exonorated for what this country has endured the past few years and is yet struggling with, then again we say the boys from the farms like their meat tough.
 In any event yesterdays poor showing around the countryside comes as timely warning to the democratic leaders that much has to be done between now and election day if there is to be any hope of success anywhere along the line. Two years ago apparently Governor Cross had bitten deep into republican strongholds and paved the way for easier sailing in years to come. However, yesterdays swing-back in many instances looks as if the ground gained has been lost again.
 Western Connecticut can be taken as fairly accurate barometer of how rural Con- neetieut will act on election day. It com- psises faily substantial towns and upon o:easion has been known to think before it votes. Therefore. yesterdays returns come not only as last minute warning. but as the handwriting on the wall If the demo- cratic party hopes to come near carrying Connecticut next month or even retaining it's present governor. let alone elect presi- dent, it has got to put its shoulder to the wheel, dig in and push. Elections have never been won sitting down, smoking black cigars at headquarters and occasionally issu- ing optimistic predictions as to how large the plurality will be. Hard work, and sorry to say. coin of the realm spent judicously. are in these days of political deterioration the two main requisites to success.

A Book a Day by BRUCE CATION
Sees R. F. c. As Move Toward
 Socialist Era

Rugged individualism snuggled down in its coffin and began it's last long sleep when the Recon. struction Finance Corporation was organized by the federal govern ment; and in that moment, all un- willingly, the government took an amazingly long step directly to- ward state socialism.
 So, at any rate, say the anony- nous authors of "High Low Washington" an excellent, ironi- cal new book in the familiar merry-go-round vein.
 This book looks on the depres- sion as the end of an era.-the era of the 192O's, the era of free com- Things are never going to be the same again, it warns us. Hence I forth we shall have more govern ment in business, not less. We shall do things that would have shocked us unutterably, five years ago. His- tory is going to move fast in the next few years-toward a dictator ship, perhaps, or toward socialism. or toward heaven only knows what. | The authors remark, incidental ly, that an anti-Hover landslide in the coming election would really prove that Americans are still deeply conservative. If the depres- sion had really created widespread radicalism, they say, the people would rise up against the whole economic system; if they simply rise up against the man and the party that happened to be in power it will prove that they still have faith in the old system itself. You'll find High Low Wash ington" an interesting and provoca- tive book. Published by Lippincott, ] it sells at $2.50.

More Foolishness

The fund for national defense in Co., lumbia is fourishing. There was thrilling exhibition of patriotism the other day in Bogota. the capital, when President Herrara and Sonora Herrara called at the Bank of the Republic to contribute their jewels and wedding rings. The president, who has grown somewhat stout, was unable to re- move his ring. so it was cut from his finger by pair of pineers. Thousands cheered.
 The fund which inspires such devotion is intended to finance military operations against Peru. which is charged with seizing a Columbian fort on the border. As if there were not enough of such foolishness in South America already. with the bloody war be- tween Bolivia and Paraguay over what looks to us like worthless wilderness, and a still bloodier civil war raging in Brazil whose causes we do not understand.
 Still. we may be wrong about it. Maybe such doings are really patriotic and wise. Disinterested nations have been unable to understand even some of our own wars. Understanding patriotism is something like locating heavenly bodies. To get line on them you have to view them more than once, from widely separated times and places.

The Gold Finder

George Honeyball of South Africa had the pleasure of eating from golden plate the other day. We hope the food was worthy of the plate and the occasion. As for George, gold is no particular treat to him. He deserved to sit on golden chair at . golden table in a golden room. For he IS the man who discovered the great Transvaal gold field, through peril and hardship. and thus gave the world five billion dollars worth of bullion, more than one-fourth of its present hoard. George grew rich. as was fitting. then lost his fortune. Now he is old and poor. Surely his country. or its bank CTS, or the worlds bankers. should give him an endowed plate of some kind that would always have food on it.
 Those five billions have been credited with pulling the world out of its last big long depression. especially the nations whose life is staked on mechanical industry. just as the footing of the golden hoards of Mexico and Peru by the Spaniards in the fifteenth century pulled Europe out of the dumps and started period of expansion. We could use another big gold field now. If there is an- other George Honeyball. it is time for him to get busy. New gold poured into ancmic business is like iron in the blood

When Mayor Mckee of New York banned the official lamps of honor in front of his city residence. he was following precedent for just about the turn of this century another mayor did that selfsame thing in the interests of economy. But we wonder if Mayor Mckee realized that his predecessor, James J. Walker. in sanction- ing the lamps was adhering to custom that dates away back to the early Dutch settlers of New Amsterdam. The New York Times reveals that the origin of the lamps IS undoubtedly Dutch. In those early days the city fathers were escorted to their homes after dark by watehmen carrying lanterns on staffs They were left burning before the burgomasters home all night to keep prowlers away. Philip Hone had the first gaslight before an executive home in l8Z6. For many years these honor lamps were pointed out to visitors Today they're hard to find, especially so since Mayor Mckee has busted them. At that they're an inter- esting throw-boek to early customs and to be appreciated.

Help! Help! Help!

It is amusing to note the complaeency with which various republican leaders pre- dict that President Hoover will sweep the entire farm belt of the nation in a record- breaking vote achievement Personally we think that Governor Roosevelt is showing and will continue to show right up to and through election day surprising strength Tn those very districts. Roosevelts appeal to the middle and far West is being greatly un- derestimated, even by democrats, right here in New England, New York, and New Jer- sey. We should really have paid more at tention to his recent western swing. It was personal triumph for the New York governor that reached its apex in Portland, Oregon, with that highly successful dlsserta- ton on control of the public utilities.
 That republican leaders, other than those who are the original fair weather boys, real ize this all too well is plainly seen in their recent actions. You don't think that Pres ident Hoover would have changed his first plan of not engaging in any active cam paigning, save a speech or two possibly via the radio or in one or two large cities in the last week preceding election had not he and his aides seen the handwriting on the wall As result, MT Hoover will speak in Des Moines, Iowa, tonight and will do some more transforming in that state. rlgh: in the heart of the farming belt. Iowa probably has more farm mortgages than most of us knew existed. If the republican party wants to live up to its claim of having done more for the farmer in the last twelve years then it is up to the president to expound thoroughly and explicitly tonight and en- suing nights.
 But that ism all that frightened g.o.p. leaders are going to do in and effort to keep their lines intact. They intend to import no less a parsonage than Calvin Coolidge. Hoover's predecessor and at one time one of his severest critics. Politics. however make strange bedfcllows and MT Coolidge can excuse his temporary support of the present chief executive on the grounds of party demands. Mir Coolidge has been be- seeehed to say a word or two in behalf of President Hoover countless times in the last few months. He responded with nice long article in the Saturday Evening Post.

the clear statement of the problem of leisure in this era of machine in- dustry and shorter hours of human labor.
 The most profound and eloquent essay on business and leisure of ancient times asks how enc can be- come wise who like the graver is wakeful to finish his work, or the smith who is 'wakeful to adorn his work perfectly" or the potter who "applies his heart to finishing his glazing."> They maintain the fabric of the world, and in the handiwork

 men generally have the joy of com

 have had the corresponding joy of going to work after breakfast. The opportunities and satisfactions of
 leisure are complementary to em- ployment, in the pursuit of happi- ness. We are not to blame the ma chine which has made leisure pos

A Cosnic Mystery

The latest news about eosmic rays IS dis appointing These are short rays which. according to Professor Williams theory, come from outer space and are produced in the creation of complex elements out of simple ones, making creation continuous process and the universe going concern. They are the most penetrating rays known, so potent that they can pierce 1 5 or 20 feet of solid lead. Some scientists have hoped to harness them for useful mechanical work.
 The whole theory is shaking by experi- ments in Germany. made with recording in- stuments in balloon, which indicate that the rays diminish in intensity above a height of 5000 feet. So they may not come from the outer universe at all and matter everywhere may be going to pieces without being able to put itself together again. and we shall have to depend indef initely on coal and gasoline and human muscle to get things done.
 Where do those powerful rays come from. if net from outer space? Maybe they come from the minds of the econom- ists, fnancers and industrialists, who three years ago this summer, abolished the busi ness cycle and built permanent prosperity in the clouds. They are showing signs of renewed activity.

Helen Wills Moody isn't sending cold ehills up and down the spines of members of the U. S. Lawn Tennis Association by her latest exploit, we presume. In company with her husband she is enjoying a vacation climbing some of the better known Alpine peaks. This evidently will end her Euro- pean iaunt for l932 which was lengthy enough to convince the natives over there that Queen Helen was still just about the best woman tennis player there is. Still the good old U. s. L. T. A. didn't sponsor Helen's transatlantic voyage to have her wind up in an Alpine crevass. But since she failed to help make the national womens tennis singles financial success by her pres enee, doubtless the tennis moguls are no longer interested.
