DID YOU EVER STOP

That the advertising columns are in
the shoppers service.
Hardly day passes that you do not
find it necessary to make some pur-
chase. No matter what you want tc
buy, reading the advertisements is thu
quickest way in which to find where
to buy what you need.
Everyone should .ea'.2e the value CT
the advertisements and read then,
carefully. They tell you where you
can get the fullest value for your
money.
Reliable concerns who have conf
dence in the quality of their goods and
service persistently advertise those in
teresting facts.
Progressive business concerns know
that 1t takes high quality merchandise
prompt service, reasonable prices and
advertising to get the business. That
is why 1t pays to trade with them.
You should visit the stores that are
regular advertisers and do 1t often SC
you can take advantage of the bar
gains offered.

To Whom 1t May Concern:

hundred and twenty-five are In at
tendance. OF these twenty-five or
more are students that have gradu-
ated at some time in the past, some

higher schools of learning.
1t is generally understood when a
child graduates from a high school he

money and they should give place to
those following.
Times like the present when county
money is needed for relief and ne
cessities, expenses should be kept
down. The expense of handling and
teaching these extra students should
not be expected. Also the teachers
should not be imposed on by students
of the class with advanced ideas.
understand some of these students
are only attending to kill time and
some way to amtse themselves. These
conditions are not good for the regu-
lar students who are working to
graduate and to whom the teachers
time longs.
If we continue to take graduates OF
years past we will soon need to en-
large the building, also add more
teachers and more buses.
The parents of these graduates
should get them busy on the ranch or
in the house to help during these
times when all must work to get by
Then evenings, instead of riding over
the Island in the family car, let them
drive to the high school to attend
night school, where with very little
expense to parents, teachers can take
care of their wants better, and not
sacrifice the interests of our children
to whom the teachers time rightfully
belongs.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1932-10-29

Mrs Edith Nourse Rogers of Massachusetts are seeking reelection to the House and no doubt will find themselves returned. unless some startling upsets occur. A demoeratie landslide would naturally remove the last three named above. as they are republicans. The perennial Ma" Ferguson. democrat. again seeks the gubernatorial office in Texas. The chances are she will be rewarded for her strenuous fight for the nomination. as Texas seems inclined this year to be regular again.
 It isn't too much to expect to see women senator's, representatives. and even governors in Conpeeticut some day. The trend is in that direction. Perhaps the male voting population may even be glad to support one of the fair sex at some not too distant date. We can grow tired of such political intrigue as even our best public officials too often encourage. And for few years we may be inclined to believe that women who seek public offices will prove less susceptible to influence than the men who preceded them Give them their opportunity, we say. If we really believe in women's suffrage then we must not hedge it around with unwrltten laws

Repeal-A National Necessity

The attempt to enforce complete national abstinence by arbitrary legislation has thrown the question of temperance into the political arena and reduced thereby the strength of its purely moral appeal. It has caused definitely hostile reaction because the Eighteenth amendment not only has been productive of crime and defiance of the constituted authority of justice but has vIo- lated as we'll certain fundamental liberties guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States to both the individual and to the separate states.
 These guarantees, particularly those re- lated to the individual. were included In the framework of the government because the builders of America had learned from past history and experience the necessity for pre- serving the individual rights as the foun- dation of just and successful government. Under the prohibition law, there has been a dangerous aggressive, and steadily-ex- banding encroachment on the personal lber- ties of the people. If continued, this will tend to undermine fundamental American principles and to alter the intentions of gov- ernment as voiced by Jefferson and Wash ington.
 Among the infringements of basic rights may be mentioned illegal search and Selz- ure; concurrent power given to states to en- force the Eighteenth amendment that makes prohibition offences punishable under both state and federal law and which is opposl- ton to the fundamental principles of jus tiee that an offender can be placed in jeopardy for the same act only once; an increasingly heavy burden of taxation upon the people in an effort to sustain law that is being maintained over the protest of great body of the citizenship whose con victions do not sustain the law itself; viola tion of the principle of states rights that is conceded to be the bulwark of freedom and safety in the American governmental sys- tenn.
 These infringements are fundamentally wrong because they threaten not only strength of government at present but sgt up indisious forces of attack against the basic principles upon which the government of this country is founded. Rather than sac rifce these fundamental rights and liberties the women of America should be willing to admit that prohibition has failed and to vote for repeal as preliminary to sounder and more effective methods for securing real national temperance

on the Smoot-Hawlsy tariff. Evidently. then, Senator Bingham didn't pay much st- tention to the censure that was placed upon him by his fellow colleagues following rev- elation of this fact. Professor Conover says: 'Bingham's statement in Milwaukee on Monday that he hired Eyanson because he was an expert on the tariff was well founded. For of the 52 industries repre- sented in Eyanson's organization (Conneeti- cut Manufacturers Assn.) A succeeded in getting an increase in their tarifs-thanks to the Eyanson Bingham combine. Mi Bingham's persistent gloriheation of the Eyanson affair, for which Connecticut was humiliated by the Senates censure of its senior senator places Connecticut in the po- sition of voting to either sustain that dis. grace or to extirpate it.

The Women Have It

N A survey of the women who are running for national and state offices next month reveals the astonishing figure of l0l. Just imagine that! It seems only few years that the woman who tried to compete with the male at the polls was regarded as verl- table Amazon, something to be gazed at with awe and wonder but not to be voted for under any circumstances. Certainly those staunch protagonists of womens suf- frage must feel rewarded for their years of patient and zealous work. When in our forty-eight states just over one hundred wo- men can be nominated for high offices if it is high time that the male politician recog- nized this new force.
 Right here in Connecticut we have not gone as far as some of our western or south- ern states For example. we have never elected woman to state or national office. We make the exception of the Legislature, of course to which women have been elected and probably will continue to be elected in increasing numbers. Even this year the major parties in Connecticut fought shy of the feminine influence, so far as state and national nominations were concerned. Not so the younger independent-republean party nor the Socialists and the Commu nists. The residents of Fairfield county are stirred by the sight of Elsie Hill eontesting the election of either Representative Tier ney. the democratic incumbent in the fourth congressional district Or his predecessor. the veteran legislator. Schuyler Merritt She is , the candidate of the independent -republi- cans
 The same party has also nominated Mrs Howard Kelsey for lieutenant- governor On ] the Socialist ticket we find Dorothy Ray mond the candidate for secretary of state. while the Communists named Emma Davis for state treasurer and Miriam A. Sehulman for controller. The one woman senator in the United States who was elected in her own right. Mrs Hattie W. Caraway of Ar kansas. stands an excellent chance of being returned to office.

Yes Or No.

There will be but one question facing the voters of Connecticut when they go to the polls Tuesday. November 9th. Is that chorus of nos" we hear. Of course. there are any number of questions facing most voters who exercise their right to the fran chise whenever the opportunity is presented them But in this particular election in Con- necticut all ballots and all machines will give each voter chance to vote yea or nay on referendum. It is in the form of pe- tition to Congress to submit to the states an amendment to the Constitution, concerning the 18th amendment. This referendum. for simplicity's sake and also to save sadly needed space. is designated, Petition tor Repeal of 18th Amendment
 We think that every citizen should vote on the question in November. Simply pulling a straight party lever or even splitting ticket won't register 2 vote for or against the petition. If paper ballots are used. preference must be indicated in the space indicated. If machines are used the proper button must be pulled !, down prior to swinging the party lever. It will not take more than a few seconds to do this and every vote is an indication of
 
 active interest in an issue that IS paramount today even though nations are torn asunder by economic woes and bodily distress.
 Of course. we hope and actually believe that Connecticut will support the petition m whole hearted fashion. There is every in- dication in this state that the prohibition amendment is not meeting with favor here. Connecticut has long been regarded as wet ]. state. There is no reason for us now to expect the nation to continue to believe that unless we vote SO in convincing fashion. A heavy vote for the repeal referendum is all that is asked We can't simply rest on the reputation that Connecticut is one of the two states that never ratified the 9th amend r,ent. We must show today that we are dis : r,leased with the workings of the dry law . and want more effective legislation along 7 these lines, something that will not arbitrar- fly attempt to dictate the appetites of varie- < gated peoples nor make the federal govern ment police department.
 Connecticut's voters have never. since the : passage of the 18th amendment. had such 7 an opportunity as this. True our Legisla- ture has of recent years shown an increasing disposition to call upon Uncle Sam to { straighten out the mess into which prohibit ton enforcement precipitated us. In l93l after several false starts the Legislature fn- ally authorized the referendum to ascertain popular sentiment. While it will not affect the 18th amendment one way or the other, it will make us realize that we are permitting < a small minority to rule our lives. Let's ' vote yes for the Petition for Repeal of 9th Amendment" Watch for the question when you go to the polls in November and be sure to pull down the right button.

The Bridgeport Telegram is continuing. its efforts to have the le33 Legislature re- apportion our present five congressional dis tricts. In this movement we sympathlzc with the down state paper. In fact we sincerely hope that the reapportionment. will seriously be considered by the incoming Legislature. But we must confess that even the Telegram's fondest hopes of reappor- tionment haven't changed our belief that only political upheaval is apt to produce such action. It usually requires a good many years for legislators to work up to this disagreeable task of pleasing some people and displeasing others. And that is just what redistricting involves. No matter how well the job may be done there is bound to be criticism of it. Of course the job of congressman large is nothing new to Connecticut, but it is some few years now since we have had one. When the state was cut up into five districts we know there was sigh of general satisfaction. Both democrats and republicans hoped that H would be long time before reapportion- ment and additional districts would be in order. Twenty years has passed and now the time has come to make six where there were five districts. Preliminary legislation awaits action next year as 1t did last year. We trust that our members of the Assembly can do some honest and thorough work in reapportioning the congressional districts And when about it why not give some con- sideration to the senatorial districts, too!

Last-Minute Political "Upsets" Are
 Rare, But They Have Happened
 Washington Those autumnal overturns of sentiment among the voters which politicians often an- nounce a month or two before elec- ton are. usually almost entirely imaginative, but there are notable exceptions.
 The democrats, we are told, often have an election won in Sep tember, only to lose 1t in Novem- Der. That is what the Hoover managers have been reiterating this fall, claiming a great popular trend to the president in the face of an opposing contention that voter sentiment remains frozen" against him. The democrats have lost IA of the last IS presidential contests, but only on a couple of occasions can they be said to have had them actually "won" at any time during the campaign. As the almost consistently los ing party, the democrats and hteir
 candidates have often felt surges of hope in the last weeks or days of campaign and have fallen into a sort of ecstatic trance in which
 they were convinced that a big trend toward their candidate had suddenly begun. Many of their leaders experienced such raptures successively in 1920, 1924 and 1928. A case in point was the great
 "swing to Cox" of 1920 which preceded the unparalleled land- slide of Harding.

NATIONS BEST POETRY
 FOUND IN THIS BOOK
American Poets" Is We'll Edited Anthology of America's
 Finest Verse.

There is always room for a new anthology of American verse, and American Poets," edited by Mark Van Doren and covering the three centuries of our history, is a very acceptable volume.
 MT Van Doren has not tried to compile a summary of all Amerl- can poets, or reference DOCK Tn which you can find practically any American verse you want 10. ln- stead he has tried to present only the most significant and lasting of our poetry, and while you may quarrel ith some of his omis- sions-and some of his inclusions -the general level of the book IS remarkably high.
 Most of the poets given space in the book are moderns. Such writers as Archibald MacLeish, E. B. Cummings, Robinson Jeffers and Ezra Pound bulk quite as large, by comparison, as Longfel- low and Whittier.
 But the great poets of earlier days aren't sighted. There is an excellent collection of Poe's poems and a very fine choice of Whit man, including "Out of the Cradle
 Endlessly Rocking" and "When Lilacs Last Round the Dooryard Bloomed." Emerson is well rep resented, and to those of us who are familiar with Thoreau as a writer of prose there is a surpris- ingly good allotment of Thoreau's verse.
 I could have stood more of Edna St Vincent Millay than MT Van Doren has included, and more of stephen Vincent Benet. But in the main the book has been very we'll edited, and no lover of poetry
 will want to miss it. The publisher is Little. Brown and Go. The price is $3.75.
