Here, There And EOeryluhere

cs are mounting rapidly and he criticized the action of the city fathers in voting to abate the one dollar fine which is imposed for failure to bay the s2 personal tax on time. The local authorities have no such right. The supreme court of Connecticut has ruled on the subject. Abatements made for any other reason than actual poverty are illegal.
 By the same token no tax col- lector has a right to accept the payment of overdue taxes and at the same time to remit the inter- est that is due. The law gives him To discretion in the matter. A tax collector who gives paid-in-full receipt without collecting interest may find himself held personally responsible for the difference. The law may sound harsh, but there is only one way to administer 1t and that is without favoritism.
 In the old days some folk paid interest while others. more persu- asive, got off without it. Now everybody must pay. What's fair for one is fair for all.

PROF. LEVITT APPOINTED Bridgeport Telegraph

There will be scant joy in Rora- backia, or that part of Connecticut which is wholly devoted to the service of the state 6. o. ?. as at present constituted, at the ap- pointment of Prof. Albert Levitt of Bedding as special assistant to Attorney General Homer Cum- mings.
 MT Levitt is the arch-enemy of the. Roraback organization in the state. Furthermore he is a compet- ent corporation lawyer who has specialized on nosing into corpo. rate rate structures and fighting the vested utility interests. An nouncement of the appointment follows some public speculation on the subject, during which Attor- ney General Cummings was advis- ed by most of the independent newspapers of the state, including this one, to make the appoint ment.
 There is no present indication of what MT Levitt's duties will be in his new post, but 1t stands to reason that he will be used in the field with which he is most fa- miliar. The present democratic regime in Washington gained the support of great many leading progressive republicans in the last campaign by it's promise to fight the power trust. Presumably Prof. Levitt's appointment has some bearing on the carrying out of that promise.
 Mere corporation batting for it's own sake is not wanted in this state. On the other hand there are many situations which the new special assistant to the attorney general will be warranted in look ing into. If it chances that Br'er Roraback has concealed himself in one end of a log into which Br'er Levitt is poking his nose, MT, Cummings' new assistant will have the rare privilege of combining duty with pleasure.

MOScOzU Letter
BY EUGENE LYONS


 Moscow-The soviet populace, too soon will have it's movie stars" Word has been passed to the nm producing organizations to build up cinema personalities and to popu- larize individual artists.
 In other countries, where screen fayorites are matter of course' this may not sound like news. In the new Russia 1t Is an innova- tion. Heretofore the films were al- nj ost anonymous. It was always the picture as a whole, rather than any of it's players, which was pre- sented. If any special credit was given, the director rather than the player was honored.
 Thus it happened that picture fans perfectly familiar with Chap- | lin, Fairbanks, Jannings and other | foreigners did not know the names l of the men and women in lead roles in the films of their own country.
 The decision to permit the de- velopment of 'tstars"--although the word is not used officially-fits in with a tendency towards more lib eral policy in all the arts. The powers-that-be have at last real ized what outsiders long knew as g fact, namely that soviet films with few exceptions have been boring They have determined to make
 their productions hereafter more interesting.

A Book a Day by BRUCE CATION
How The Germans
 Try A Murderer

If you want a good sidelight on some of the things that are wrong with merican criminal court pro. cedure, you might read Margaret Seaton Wagner's horrifying book, "The Monster of Dusseldorf"
 This is a biography of Peter Kurten, who threw the city of Dus-. seldorf into a panic few years ago by committing nine murders, trying to commit score more, and baffling the police.
 Caught at last, and dragged into court, Kurten proved a prize speci- men for the psychiartrists. His he- redity and his environment had both been of the worst. In his youth he had served many years in prison, and had been badly con- taminated there. A woman years his senior had helped to develop his horrible taste for uncontrolled homicide, ~s
 Psychiatrists found that he dis played every type of sexual aberra- tion known to pathology. Yet he was not insane in any sense of the word. He knew right from wrong. he was exceptionally intelligent, he was fully responsible for his acts he could control his frightful irn- pulses when and if he tried to; so the Germans. after relatively short business-like trial, cut his head off.
 Read all of this and then imag- inc how 1t would have been in an American court. Imagine how ex- pensive psychiartrists would have taken the stand for the defense, how clever attorneys would have shed tears, torn their hair and dwelt tenderly on his unhappy youth, his prison life, and so on. We would have had field day of oratory. and in the end the man might have gone to prison for a few years. The Germans handle those things differently.

 By robins. At four o'clock the room is still; The roses brush the window Like shadows left by passing night. And in the sky one star is white. Then suddenly I hear you call. My heart leaps like waterfall. I must confess I like the shock Of being walked at four o'clock

weeks and eventually returned to

parently all right.
Some time ago it was noticed

mental arrangement. Recently il
was decided that an examination
be held. The findings resulted in
the order committing him to the
asylum.

Holy Year Observance
At Catholic Church
(communicated)

Coincident or significant it is
that this Holy Year, 1900 years Of
the death and resurrection of
Jesus Christ, should commence on
the Lords Day.
Men may, and do, as Senator
Borah says, dispute the divinity OF
Jesus of Nazareth; science may
seek to impeach the authenticity
of His inspired mission, but no
sane man or woman win under
value the transcendent beauty and
incalculable worth of the rules Of
human conduct, which He an
nounced during His brief minis
try on earth.
1t is not because the divinity
of Christ has been rejected by so
large a part of the governing
forces of the world that the world
is in its present condition Of
misery-greed--and bewilderment.
Truly Christ was a man--but also
He was, and is, God, as well as
man. His commands are laws, and
not merely opinions, or guesses or
theories. To revivify ourselves in
His truth and. love, to appreciate
His legacy of mercy towards us.
the Holy Year Mission viii be well
come and profitable to all.
The program promises to all an
intellectual and spiritual treat. The
,elequent Missionary widely known
throughout the South and North
for his clear, logical and forceful
delivery is giving US wonderful
instructive course.
All are invited-Catholics and
non-C Catholics, to the Holy Year
mission at Catholic Church which
began Sunday. The Catholic owes
it to himself and his church. the
mons Catholic owes it to himself to
form a true concept Of the Cath
Ollie neighbor for better under
standing and appreciation.
