"On the Streets" the com edy-drama staged by local tal- ent for the benefit of the M. E. Church library, gave enjoy ment to 125 residents of Hy- der and Stewart in Pioneer Hall Friday evening. The play was replete with dramatic situ- ations, with a fine seasoning of humor and gave good scope for displaying the talents of the variou performers, all of whom carried out their parts with a confidence and finish that would have done credit to professionals It was the first amateur play produced in Fly der and residents are hoping there will be more of them.

Clever Political Diplomacy

One of the most remarkable features of President Franklin D. RCosevelt's masterly admin istration is the cleverness he displays in overcoming and re- conciling divergent Congress ional views on national quest ions. Outstanding examples of this capacity are shown in his handling of the farm loan and imitation questions, in both of which he 'overcame a wide di- versity of Congressional opin- ions and displayed a masterly political strategy by gathering the varying views and propos- als of Congress into measures granting to himself authority to employ any or all of them as he might see fit, thereby cut ting off both controversy and opposition.
 In each instance it was as though he said to Congress-:
 Now, boys, there is not much chance of reconciling all your differing views and in the meantime we should be doing something. Why not just put all your ideas into a measure and give me the authority to use them in whatever way 1 may find best to meet our problems?"
 In this manner he not only made available to himself all the various proposals over which Congress might have badtled futilely for months if left to its own devices but also averted every prospect of questionable legislation being enacted.
 This was assuredly a display of political diplomacy and leadership seldom if ever dup Heated in the nations history. It is regrettable that nothing of the kind was ever attempted during the period of lofty statesmanship incident to the long and disastrous period of "best mind" government.

same general lines and almost as s,rietly ss the sale of morphine and similar drugs under the Harrison Narcotics Act. .."
 Continuing along this vein Dr Hendsr- son says Practically all we have to con- sider in America are whiskey. gin. and other distilled spirits of about 50 per cent alcohol. cocktails. running from 20 to 30 per cent. and light beer of not more than 4 per cent alcohol. Obviously any effective and prae- tieal system of licenses and governmental control should be adjusted to cover these three standards with some degree of distinc- tion of each other from the other two. ..
 Four classes of licenses were enumerated and described under the Henderson plan. The first or A permits sale of beer or other beverages containing not more than four per cent alcohol by weight. Class per- mits sale of all alcoholic beverages up to 20 per cent alcohol by weight. These sales would be made through bona fide restaurants clubs. and bona fide grocery stores. Class C. provides for sale of distilled spirits and beverages of an alcoholic content more than 20 per cent by weight. These sales would be made through drug stores or specially li- censed dspensaries solely for the purpose. No consumption on the premises is allowed. Personal licenses to purchase are demanded. This last phase is known as Class D.
 This is quite the most intricate system that has yet been offered to the liquor con- trol commission. Offhand it might be over- looked for the very reason that it doesn't sound quite SO simple as some of the other gforms of liquor control A thorough study of its terms and provisions should show, though, that Professor Henderson has given heed to every side of the case. He has pro- vided a system that may not be as popular as some but certainly one that will stand the rigid test of use. Whether or not his plan is adopted for the state it is worthwhile contribution to the study of intoxicating beverages and their control by the state.

A Toxicologist Talks

The first public hearings of the Connec- ticut Liquor Control Commission Monday were enlivened by very scientific and in- teresting proposal from Professor Wendell Henderson of Yale University, nationally known authority on poisons. Dr Henderson presented his plan of state liquor control to the hearing conducted at New Haven by Senator Frank Bergin and Professor Edgar S. Furniss. both members of the commission recently named by Governor Cross. Whether or not the Henedrson plan is adopted, it is of national interest because of the important point that was stressed in its presentation. namely. that the liquor problem is not one of morals or politics. but one of toxieology.
 Keeping this in mind Dr Henderson de- clared that the scientific point of view must be regarded seriously in any plan of state liquor control. To that end he devised a scheme as different from those commonly mentioned for adoption by any of the states as night is from day. It is based on this simple deelaration of the Yale authority The sale of light beer needs scarcely more strict legal control than that over cigars ant cigarettes. The sale of distilled spirits. on the contrary. should be controlled along the

Strange as it may seem the republican na- tional party is not going after certain mem- bsrs who supported the Roosevelt cause last year. We refer to Senators Norris. LaFol- lette. Johnson. and Cutting. incidentally not one of this quartet has been given a Cabinet place or any other position in the Roosevelt administration as was SO freely predicted in the last few months. We'll wager that there won't ever be any effort made to read one of the above named quartet out of the party. All four are singularly independent of thought and action. As result they often cross the plans of their party leaders. But in the long run they have been of the great est value to the nation by this wholesome independence of theirs. What would we have done if Morris was swayed by party dictates or was only staid party wheelhorse?

Frank o. Lowden, former governor of Illinois and prominent in national republican politics for many years is firm believer in single terms for presidents and governors. However. he would not necessarily limit that term to but four years. A term of six years is the compromise that Mir Lowden makes and he urges it as the next major gov ernmental reform. In securing passage ot any such legislation Mir Lowden would meet more obstacles than Senator Norris did in all his years of striving to put the lame duck amendment in the Constitution. In 1913 Woodrow Wilson wrote letter to A. Nit chell Palmer in which he said. four years is too long term for president who is not true spokesman for the people, who is imposed upon and does not lead. It is too short term for president who IS doing or attempting a great work of re- form and who has not had time to finish it. To change the term to six years would be to increase the likelihood of its being too long without any assurance that it would in happy cases be long enough. It, will be long time before Congress places liml- tation on presidential terms or all states try to curb their governors in the same way. The unwritten law that no man shall seek third term in the presidency has yet to be broken. When it is threatened, maybe we'll act as ex-Governor Lowden wants us to.

Oxford Pacifsts

It was regarded as news worth spreading over the world when the young men of the Oxford Union voted 275 to l53 that this house will in no circumstances fight for King and country" Great Britain, however. remained calm. One hesitates to think what tons of written protest, what rebukes to uni- versity trustees, what alarm at the spread of Communism. would have followed any such action by any college group in this country. A few members of the faculty would doubtless have been fired, college paper suppressed and some rich endow- ments withheld.
 In England there were various views about the incident. One of them held that 1t was merely the manifestation of youth and high spirits. and that the undergraduates would have been tickled to pieces if some indignant old-timer had descended upon them in wrath. The London spectator took it seriously as indicating that the majority of the young men had resolved that England should not go to war again. There are circles in which such a determination is regarded as unpatr- otic. Some day it may be regarded as the highest type of patriotism.

Three Lives For One

Germany used to be regarded as "a land of settled government like England, where a disciplined people lived together peace fully, fought their political battles fairly and accepted the result in sporting spirit. That is so no longer. Under the excitable and clustering Hitler. violence is piled on vio- lence. There are some curious results.
 In recent political disturbances in German cities there have been several people killed. Three of the victims were Nazia', Fascist followers of Hitler. That is lese e-majesty. Whose attacks one of Htler's followers at- tacks the sacred Chief himself. The effect is interesting. Hitlers lieutenant, in Berlin. announces to a gathering of storm troops that henceforth three Communists must die for every storm trooper killed
 Here is an advance on the old Mosaic code of life for life. Here are three lives for one. We naturally wonder little about the judicial process. How will the three victims for such expiaton be ehosen' The answer is no doubt that there won't be any judicial process.

California's : Disaster

The sympathy of the nation is with the region of California recovering today from the effects of disastrous earthquakes. Coming as 1t did at moment when the morale of the entire nation was at low ebb this catas- trophe has made many of our woes and worries look small compared to those of the residents of southern California. particularly the distressed people living in the quake sector. It is unfortunate that this part of California, one of the most beautiful regions in our country. must lie in what scientists know as a territorys of earthquakes It has always been one; it will always remain one. Its peculiar formation is responsible for the frequent earth tremblors.
 But enough of the scientific aspects of the dread case. It is enoguh that over one hun- dred people perished as buildings rocked. walls crashed. and pandemonium reigned. Add to that the threat now of disease. par ticularly pneumonia. Those of us who con- slider the closing of our banks matter of major importance would certainly not know what to do if we were in the same predioa- ment as our California cousins, many of them homeless, certainly great number penniless and with nothing but courage to face the future. In time like this we arc all brothers. California's plight is ours. too.
 There is no way that earthquakes in this region can be averted in the future. Man has little control over the forces of Nature, although at times he is wont to boast of his prowess to harness nature or to stem it. But man can be prepared for such an event. Los Angeles and surrounding towns should build with the thought of earthquakes al ways before them. Most of the dead per ished in the ruins of buildings or were struck in the open by flying debris. San Francisco has set pace in the construction of earth- quake-proof structures that other communi ties should initiate. SO far as human ingenuity will permit. It's the only way to combat this terrible force.

Following Up His Advantage

President Franklin D. Roosevelt is not passing up an opportunity to speed up the return of business activity to normalcy in the United States. With the banking situa- ton fairly well in hand the president sent surprise message to Congress that by its very daring practically insures its speedy and safe passage through both houses of Congress. In recommending modification of the Volstead Act to permit the legalized manufacture and sale of beer and other bev- erages of alcoholic content permissible un- der the Constitution President Roosevelt has of rhe nation.
 That last statement will, of course. be disputed, but we still contend that modified ton of the Volstead Act and repeal of the 18th Amendment are to be considered econ- omy measures before anything else. Uncle Sam is spending a vast sum of money annu- ally, that might better be turned into other channels, in trying to force upon the peoples
 of this nation a mandate for which they have very little liking and which is calcu lated not to increase respect for law but to AoWeE ils Eiuo oaVlLS SdH De dl- fected by allowing the appropriations for prohibition enforcement to be put to some other purpose are the gains in revenue from taxes on beverages quite considerable item.
 We don't intend to point out the many businesses that will be affected by opening up the eolntry's breweries. For every point that we might advance rabid prohibitionist would be sure to point out contradictory evidence. But it must be believed that any indusctry that is going to affect the lives of every citizen is bound to have good effect on business as whole. President Roosevelt has stated that within year. provided he has the necessary legislative cooperation, he can balance the budget. Passage of such leg islation as the beer bill, thus insuring the Treasury of an additional flow of income is part of the program. By all means let us fafi in with the presidents plans. They sugur we'll for the future.

FRINGE OF NATURE TAKERS
(New York Herald d-Tribune)

NNcW I
 For almost forty years little items have appeared in newspapers all over the country bearing the date line of Winsted, Conn, and telling of outlandish happenings-cows that gave ice cream instead Of milk, hens that laid red, white, and blue eggs on the Fourth of July. the doings of the pig that was deaf and dumb, the antics of the curi- ous three-legged bullfrog, the phenomenon of the tree which bore baked apples, the pet squirrel that shined its masters shoes with it's tail, the trick of the bald man who painted a spider on his head to scare away the flies, and so on and so on.
 The man responsible for all these items was Louis Timothy Stone. He died yesterday in the town which he made famous. As young man he found Winsted just another Connecticut town, and his fanciful tales did it nothing but good. In- deed, one Lou Stone in such a town may be well worth more than any number of chambers of com merce and boosters clubs. The citi- zens of Winsted gave him much credit for developing the town and the adjoining, section. He was pleasant, whimsical fellow, and re- markedly. well-infOrmed. His stories, brief, straight-faced and with just the right restraint (some of them were terse as the Coolidge anecdotes), were of the sort that give the lie to the Journalistic dic- tum: There is no harmless fake"

Discovery of a Mans Soul

Q Xuak1 Q OOul
 Elliott Merrick was graduated from Yale just like any other fu-- ture go-getter, and he started out on a business career in New York much as any other young man might. But after he had been at it for few years he decided that the business world was flat, stale and uninspiring; so he dropped everything and went to Labrador as Q teacher for the Grenfell Mis- sion.
 In Labrador he married Kay, a Grenfe1l nurse; and the two of htem accompanied a trapper far back into the interior, in the dead of winter, and discovered that by flying from civilization they had found their own souls.
 Merrick tells about it all in True North" book which comes to a depression-weary society like breath of clean air from the northern barrens. It is a book in the tradition of Thoreau's Wal den" = and. really. to mention it in the same breath with that book isn't stretching things as much as you might imagine.
 For Merrick sings the same song that Thoreau sang; that men have got up a blind alley by getting over- civilized, and that the true realities can be found only in sol- itude close to earth's breast.
 He and his wife braved cold, hunger, utter desolation and un- imaginable weariness = and found life good. They camped in the snow when the temperature was 40 below zero, they lived for days on weak tea and soggy bread, they exposed themselves to the worst the north could offer; and from it they drew 8 new sense of the rich ness and beauty of human life.
 "True North" is published by Schribners and sells for 8.
