Fur Begins To Fly

{ With Governor Cross laying down bar rage of missiles upon Republican State Chairman J. Henry Rorabaek the state campaign may be said to be in full swing. It is a rare spectacle when the governor adopts the tactics that he has displayed in the present week of electioneering. True. he has been fighter ever since his entrance into democratic politics but he has main tained a certain dignity and reserve which earned him the respect of the entire state. He certainly has not shed this doak of dignity and reserve by donning fighting togs He is merely growing tired of turning the other cheek to his republican foes.
 As he stated early this week every way he turns in his official duties he is hedged in by republican rules and regulations Po- ltical intrigue to oust him from office IS carried on right under his very nose in the Capital What man wouldn't resent this and hit out straight from the shoulder. We are certainly glad to find him right on the firing line and not hestating to place his shots where they can do the most damage. We have always maintained that the repub- lican powers that he in Connecticut would ultimately hang themselves. We still be- Iieve if given enough rope all will be stretched from limbs.
 People are becoming conscious of the fact that they exercise considerable control at the polls. Without votes political machines can't exist. That was so successfully proved in 1930 that we should think each and every voter in the state would be anxious to prove to himself or herself again in November that 1t wasn't merely an accident that occurred in November, l930., but a distinct register ing of disappfovsl with conditions as they existed in Connecticut. The swing to the independent. republican candidates and also The socialist should be enough to convince the major parties that they can't traffic in votes any longer.
 Governor Cross administration has been sminsntly successful so far [. it has gone. But ths reforms for which the governor him. self spoke previous to his election and in his inaugural address gre aiIl 10 De made. The sspubliean Legislature failed Co heed the uishn Of the voters.

Mass Doctoring

Medical clinics are a natural production ot the times and are recognized everywhere as doing valuable work. Yet industrial mass production methods are not being applied to the healing art without protest. Here IS what Dr William Linder. president of the Kings County (New York; Medical society has to say in favor of old-fashioned medical indvidualism: Concurrent with the wide spread development of clinics health een- ters and large medical institutions IS the weaning away of large part of the prae- tiee of the general physician. The clinics attract hordes of patients through the publl- cation of articles about their facilities and even by paid advertising.
 This unfair and unj just competition arises from institutions which are endowed with millions of dollars and which deprive the general practitioner of what rightfully belongs to his own domain. The majority of cases do not require the elaborate equip ment of these institutions. The general practitioner is the backbone of the profes- sion despite the prominence enjoyed by the specialist It is the family physician who treats and cures 85 to 90 per cent of our illnesses. and he deserves our consideration.
 It will be unfortunate if the general prae- titioner with bis understanding of medical fundamentals his acquaintance with his pa- tients and their family history and his knowledge of human nature. ever vanishcs from the scene. There is an important place for the medical specialists and the elin- ies in which they shine; but the general physician is needed to supplement them as much as they are needed to supplement him.

simply repetition of what had gone on before. Is it any wonder that State Senator Joseph P. Cooney. seeking reelection in End district, declared at Hartford this week that ''the republican pany in Connecticut is not interested in more efficient and more eeo- nomieal administration" He cites the effort of Governor Cross to have a tax survey made with the idea of amending the present system. He also pointed out that The failure of the Legislature to enact the pro- posed district court measure was due to the refusal to relinquish patronage which the small town courts throughout the state pro- vide for the republican machine"
 In the same vein Attorney John Blaekall. a native of this city now residing in Hart ford and seeking to be elected to the state senate in the first district called attention to the fact that "The archaic structure of Connecticut government, by which ma iority in the Legislature, can override the veto of the governor. deprive the state of the benefit of the judgment of the Chief executive and gives the Legislature more than it's share of power. It is a strong reason for the election of a democratic senate in Connecticut, in order to enable Governor Cross to carry out the program which ma jority of the voters evidently approve. .'
 Democrats are awakening to their oppor- tunties in the campaign now on. We hope they will continue to point out that the so- called republican plan of making Connecticut noted for its pay-as-you-go policy has also included few more retrogressive ones. They perhaps only come to light when the ma- chine fails to hold complete control. but that is sufficient to prove to all of us the need of change in government. And by that we mean a complete change, no half way measures.

Special local conditions would of course show pensioners and costs out of all proportion to any general picture.
 Now as I understand Judge Meyers position on this question 1t Is just simply this that he fa- vors old-age pensions if they will not increase taxation. This posi- ton to mo indicates pretty clearly that Judge Meyer does not dodge the issue, does not duck but runs head on to 1t as is to be expected from an able, capable, courageous candidate such as he is and ought to commend itself to the voters. Now the democrats including his opponent and also the democrat candidate for congress from the fifth congressional district are at- tempting to make capital of Judge Meyers position and in the same breath proclaim themselves as be- ing in favor of old age pensions. It Is only fair to ask that they state whether or not they favor increas- ed taxation if 1t be that such will be necessary. This system will not necessarily eliminate all state in- stitutions.
 Further does the democratic candidate for Congress from the Fifth Congressional District take the position he does because he knows in. advance what the com mission will report. You know he is a member of the commission to investigate this subject appointed by the General Assembly, Session of 1891, Special Act No. 460.
 Judge Meyer stands four square with the republican state platform against the imposition oG any new or additional taxes by the next General Assembly,; against com hitting the state to any new poll. cies calling for additional substan- tial expenditures of state monies; and for continuing. the republican policy of adequately caring for those in need. I rather think that the foregoing will not rule out old age pensions if no increase in tax ation is involved.
 Very truly yours.
 FAIR PLAY.

eligible to vote in Randolph's dis trict, an unusually heavy propor- ton If true.
 Anyway, Randolph thought 1t worth while to come. And then in his speech he demanded elim-' ination of "a lot of useless bu- reaus. departments and commis- slons." That sort of thing goes big in West Virginia and every where else except in the District of Columbia, where 1t is often re- garded as political hooey and q threat to a lot of jobs.
 John F. Costello, the democratic national committeeman here, says that about 10000 potential voters have applied to his office for help and advice. He complains that only about half the states permit both registration and voting by mall, and that not many persons can afford to go home to vote this year.
 In spite of the. fact that there will be no balloting in the District itself there are about Q dozen re- publican and democratic clubs and societies here cooperating with Costello or Republican National Committeeman Edward F. .Colla- day, all working as hard as if they were out in one of the states.
 "Presidtne Hoover will be elected November S." says MT Col laday.
 "Roosevelt and Garner will be overwhelmingly elected November 8.' says MT Costello.

According to Professor James Harvey Rogers of the political economy department of Yale University this little old world of ours lis fast becoming series of walled es- tates not unlike those of the dark ages And why dear readers. simply because our rulers persist in creating higher tariffs. some for protection, others for retaliation.

One of the two greatest creditor nations she should be a great importer of foreign wares. Instead of allowing an important surplus to devel- op. however. her ever higher tariff walls have made it more and more difficult fo. her creditors to pay" Republican legislators. please note.

Once more the franking privilege is on the gridron It certainly IS high time that Uncle Sam put stop to its abuse by our high officials many of whom regard the frank as something that is theirs by divine right. They use it indiscrminately and too often for electioneering purposes. The lat est charge is brought against Secretary of the Treasury Mills and while his answer shows it has little foundation that does not change the situation one bit. The frankng privi lege is sadly misused. especially by members of Congress. Let's call halt before we have gone too far. Tbe charge against Sec retary Mills was brought by John F. Cos telo, democratic national committeeman for the District of Columbia Mir Mills sn- swered it in a letter to Postmaster General Brown which concluded as follows: You may, of course. see fit to make this letter public. though personally do not think that Costelo's silly charge is worth answer
 ing" Suppose. though, democratic Treasury Department head had used the franking privilege to issue similar statements to those made by Secretary Mills. Wouldn't republicans have jumped to the same oppor- tunity to criticize what they considered an abuse of the frank. They certainly would. So if Mr Costello's charges are baseless and silly just credit it to politics which makes most of our level-headed citizens say and do funny things at various times. We still be- lieve the frank is abused.

A Book a Day

Her Life Reads Like the
 Story of Cinderella

The Cinderella story, according to no less an authority than James Branch Cabell, is the basis of the most romantic yarns in existence; and if that is the case, then "Life and Lillian Gish," by Albert Bige- low Paine, Is as fine q romance as you would care to read. For 1t is the Cinderella story from start to finish.
 Lillian Gish had a pathetically hard childhood. She went on the stage at the age of 6, or there- abouts, with a down-at- thc-hee company doing one-night stands, and her girlhood was time of very hard work and very little fun. For many years she had no play mates at all. Her schooling was sketchy. She was breadwinner at q time when most girls are wearing rompers and learning to play hop scotch.
 But Cinderella came up from mo-
 where and so did Miss Gish. In her early teens she got into the movies, back in the days when the movies
 were supposed to be beneath con- tempt; and presently she was one of the worlds most famous women,
 rich, popular and idolized. MT Paine makes his story about 10 times as interesting as expect ed 1t to be. Evidently he is one | of that vast army of males who are permanently in love with Lillian
 Gish; but that's all right because well, aren't we all? He presents
 her as 6 supremely great actress. the greatest the films have pro- duceds he also knows her as a very l.reM human being and as an ex- ceedingly glamorous woman. And
 his book is a good sidelight on the development of tho movies. as well. Published by the Macmillan Co,

Does This Satisfy?

ne tnOuSdnQS or VOteIb. WHO bdFS OeSh claiming that Alfred E. Smith, democratic candidate for the presidency in 1928. wasn't whole -heartedly behind the l932 democratic ticket of Franklin D. Roosevelt and John N. Garner must have had their confidence slightly shaken by Smiths ringing declaration in Bos- ton last night. It was clear cut enough for any man to understand just which way Smiths sympathies lay in the present cam paign. Perhaps even those republican die hards who have been endeavoring to eash-in Smiths remarks as propaganda for their own chances will lie shriveied today by the heat of the former New York governors attack upon them.
 Ex-Governor Smith was just as frank in his Boston address as he had been earlier at Newark. His sentiments were just the same. but he went to some pains last night to ex- plain to the country at large that he didn't exactly care for this premature mourning at his bier. especially 50 when most of the mourners were republicans. It has been just wonderful to find out of recent weeks just how many prominent leaders and officials of the republican party held Mir Smith in the highest esteem and deplored the fact that at the national convention last June he was not given the presidential nomination. They even took the trouble of aequainting the nation with this belief of theirs and when ever the occasion offered. never failed to call attention to the fact that Mir Smith had been denied something that was his by divine right. while an interloper occupied his niche.
 That was swept away with one charae- ,teristie gesture last night and few terse sentences. Mir Smith is interested primarily today in the success of the Roosevelt-Garner ticket. He cares nothing for republican hypocrisy which he pointed out in various cized last night when he made such a plea to New Englanders to remember but one thing. namely. that the democrats must elect Gov- ernor Roosevelt president and Garner vice. president. We know that his plea did not fall on deaf ears. If we are not mistaken, the Smith invasion of New England may pave the way for glorious visit here shortly by the democratic candidate. which will clineh the election for hiud.
 Although former Governor Smith made some excellent points in an attack upon the president and other republican officials for their laxity in the early part of the Hoover administration what the people yesterday really were thrilled to hear him say were such sentences as these taken from his Prov idence talk: When there is no chance of As election. the republicans would love to see great many people vote for him. Don't fall for it. because it doesn't do me any good, and if you harm the chances of the democratic party at this critical period, you might be hurting the country itself; so make your selection. please. make your selection directly. and let us express here in Providence this afternoon the hope that that selection will be the democratic ticket. Roosevelt and Garner and the candidates in your various states that make up this great section of our country known as New England. -"

Washington - There is no vot- ing In the District of Columbia. but there are about 50,000 persons who can vote in their home states, and that always causes plenty of local excitement at election time.
 Republican and democratic groups have pep meetings and listen to campaign speeches and sometimes candidate for some office in the outside world comes and makes speech for the few absentee votes here that will be cast for or against him.
 The eligible voters are showing deeper interest in the privilege than they ever did before and the local democratic central commit tee and the National Capital Re- publican Club are all steamed up about 1t, claiming everything and expanding the facilities with which they seek to corral every possible ballot for Roosevelt or Hoover. Scores of partisan vol untcers are making sure that everyone knows his or her fran chise rights.
 The republicans would seem to have an edge In the fact that their candidate works here and has been working here, in one job or another, for many years. Hoo yer has made his acceptance and other speeches here, whereas, on his way to Baltimore. Norman Thomas, the socialist candidate, ap- peared this year as he did in 1928.
 There is no very good way to guess which way the District would go if 1t had votes in the electoral college. unless you want to go by the straw votes. The Literary Digest has hed Hoover running proportionately stronger against Roosevelt in It's District of Columbia poll than he has been running in the country as Il Roosevelt 4,754 and Hoover 3.577. Although Washington's vote, most of which Is cast by mail. isn't going to affect tho result Of any presidentiai contest, there arc consressionai districts within two or three hundred miles Of the capital where It really assumes
