Shakes a Big Stick

Mayor Joseph V. Mckee of New York IS shaking as big stick over little old New York these days as Teddy Roosevelt ever did in his palmiest days The pro-tem mayor doesn't permit the thought that he may only continue in office until Novem- Der deter him one bit from ironing out the difficulties that are presented to him. Just hark back to the manner in which he dis posed of the public market mess. The pub lie market has long been municipal white elephant Mckee decided it wouldn't be and informed the superintendent to this effect When he failed to show why he held his responsible position Mckee fired him.
 Now he has ordered the licenses of the Eltinge and Republic theaters in the theatrl- cal district of Times Square revoked Old timers with penchant for memories of the day when 'such-and-such play was at either of the above or when famous stars appeared on their stages may well gasp at this announcement Licenses of the Eltnge and Republic revoked? But these theaters have fallen upon less happy days than those they enjoyed in the hey-day of the theater. They are now merely houses in the string of the MinSky DrOlneIS WHose ouAiS'd"N productions in the last few years have put to shame the most startling of the musical extravaganzas.
 In ordering ths licenses revoked Mayor Mckee made it plain to all who care to read that he was not setting himself up as censor of plays nor even peoples morals. He merely subscribed to the prevalent belief that these theaters are now a menace to the fair name of the city and to many of its in- habitants for the influence that they cast seems to have fallen far from their fronts. Various organizations and individuals have sought to have the police close the theaters or at least to prevent the spread of vice from them. Like molasses the houses had attracted the worst type of the eitys un- derworld.
 His Honor is to be congratulated upon his prompt reaction to the popular demand for q cleanup. The Times Square section of the city. even to sn outlander. has eer' tainiy dssensrated of recent years. lt' bright lights merely blinded people 10 what was taking place right on its vefY eufbs and behind its sham fronts More power 10 Mckee and the big stick that he is waving

 The American Medical Association is adopting the right attitude in criticizing the federal government for opening to private citizens, who have had no government or military service, the use of government hospitals in all respects, including both medical and surgical attention. William C. Woodward, representing the association, ap- peared before the House committee investl- gating government competition this week and declared that The Federal Government is now buying medical and hospital services at the expense of the taxpayer and is giving these services free to selected persons, rich and poor, for the treatment of diseases and injuries not incurred in the line of any pub
 lie duty. either civil or military, and not in the discharge of any obligation whatever owed by the Federal Government to the benefciaries Government competition of this character will tend furthermor: to un- dermine the morale of the medical profes- sion, to hinder its development and to leave the people without adequate medical serv- ice in time of need and without adequate medical resources in case of military neces- sity. =" It is just one more sign of government encroaehment upon private en- terprise and duties of lesser political sub divisions. By this we don't mean that the state or city should hospitalize those de- manding it. Government hospitals for the veterans are all right. but We should be sure that only veterans are hospitalized and that their ailments are the result of govern ment service.

We sincerely hope that now that the Street Department has started such aNsood job on Freight street it will continue it its full. length. To leave the south side of the thoroughfare. adjacent to the freight yards. with a rough surface would be almost un- forgivable. If the money can possibly be obtained we suggest that the entire street be given corresponding top dressing. Even if it is necessary to pull up the Belgian blocks now laid there we think the work should be done. Freight street has under gone transformation in the last few years. Why not complete the transformation?

NEW HAVEN'S PETITION FOR
 RELIEF
lHartford Courantl


 The request of New Haven that Governor Cross apply to the Re- construction Finance Corporation for a loan of $4OO,0OO to care for it's unemployed is the first of its sort in the state. If it is granted. there will douhtless be 2 number of other cities and town that will apply through the governor to the Reconstruction FinAnce corpora tion for the aid that should prop erly be given only by the state itself. New Haven has, appar- ,ently done the best 1t could. It has cut its budget to the bone. It has applied unsuccessfully for pri- vate loans to enable it to con- tinue its relief. Technically, it seems to have fulfilled the re- quirements for a loan from the Reconstruction Finance Corpora tion. Should the governor pass the request. on, to Washington, there Is a chance that it might be acted on favorably.
 The governor must bear the responsibility for New Haven's ac- tion in turning to the Reconstruc- ton Finance corporation rather CIIuH " luc StctlC AOh relieA It was he who proposed that needy towns be cared for by federal funds instead of by the state, as they should be. Admit tedly, this is difficult time to convene the legislature in special session. The governor and most of the members of the legislature are campaigning for reelection. But the matter is one on which democrats and republicans might we'll, for the good of the state, agree. The principle that the state should take care of its own as long as it can is one that should cut across party lines. / To per- init the city of New Haven to re- ceive. federal charity when the state is solvent and, as compared to the rest of the country, pros- porous is disgraceful.

 There are other Hoovers in Washington widely known. The most famous probably is Ike the chief usher at the White House, who has been handling functions at the executive mansion Al years. Ike seemed a trife worried when Hoover was elected. Being the second most important man in the residential section of the White House, he feared the duplication of names might get on everything worked out pretty well.
 Ike, too, is an executive rather than a servant and dry, sardonic humor goes along with his effi- ciency.
 J. Edgar Hoover, director of the Bureau of Investigation in the De- partment of Justice, is another exponent of Hoover efficiency He took hold of the bureau after the Daugherty, William J. Burns period and built it up to the point that it is sometimes called "The American Scotland Yard" He has the largest finger print collection in the world and his last public appearance was in the Lindbergh case
 There are several lawyers here named Hoover, one of whom appeared in the naval aid cases, a butcher, q florist, and a sporting good dealer.
 There is also Miss Tell Hoover. But except for, Mrs Lou Henry Hoover the president hasn't d relative in town |.

Out in Nebraska campaign tomfoolery has started in full blast. A, Council Bluffs lawyer has brought suit against the repub- lican party on the grounds that four years ago he was induced to vote for Herbert Hoover on promise of chicken. He now demands its equivalent (18 cents by his estmate). When the case is decided the loser must furnish chicken dinner. However, somebody might take this seriously and actually demand those chickens and two cars that the Hoover optimists were prom ising with reckless abandon and little re- gard for the truth.

 down from his lonely tree and perched placidly among the Hoov- erian fowls. He was not the. whole strength of insurgency in the state. There are others, as yet unenum- erated, but full of hope and a sweet simplicity, Delegates of these in- surgents accompanied delegates of the drys into teh awful presence of the Honorable J. Henry Rora- back, republican state chairman,
 ruler of his Rorabackia for years thta outrun memory. They actually complained to the great man of his Bingham. They said that the sena- tor was not only indecently wet
 but that, in their belief, he had been untrue to momentous meas
 ures dear to MT Hoover's heart. MT Bingham mustn't be re-nomin- ated.
 Why was an artist there to catch the curious, fugitive expression on the lineaments of that time-honor- ed warder of "the Republican cit- adel'? The touch of surprise, suc- ceeded by an amused, if a little weary, smile, should have been pre- ScTtcO lOT POoICAAtys Js AlChIy HAA to. tell his visitors that MT Bling ham was perfectly acceptable" to
 MT Roraback. That anybody. let alone several. in Connecticut should consult MT Rroraback about one of his own inventions Is beauti- full to remember and an honor to human nature.
 Where are these drys, these in- surgents? In what happy. far-off place under the shade of melan- choly boughs do they fleet the time earelessly as in the golden world? Are they listening to madrigals at Bantam Falls?' Are they hidden like needles in Haystack Mountain? Are they washing their sheep, them selves in sheepskins. on the shore of Shepherds Pond or Quassapaug? With crook for mallet,@ do they play croquet in some dell on the dizzy heights of Wangum? Are they piping without a license--to the an- gering of the se1ectmen--in Milton or Avon? Wherever they are, good fortune go with them! They make one think better of the world. ]. Henry himself may yet retire and in some rural solitude be happy. keeping protected sheep.
