Stands By His Guns

From the very beginning of his political
 career as governor of this state Wilbur l.,
 Cross has maintained that his stand on
 appointive positions within his power
 would be an independent one. We think
 that he has maintained such standard of
 selection throughout his first term. We don't believe he will change it in the com ing two years. He has done much to remove
 the stain of partisanship in our courts by evening-up appontees to the bench from the two major parties. Where his predecessors
 have claimed all offices he has never laid claim to any one but has simply pointed
 out that patronage is not to be used as
 weapon to secure votes but as a means to
 give representation to both majority and
 minority.
 In a recent address in New Haven he re-
 iterated these principles and at the same time pointed out that the college man ean-
 not hope to enter politics with holier- than thou attitude. As the governor aptly put it in the course of his remarks to group of Yale students, "The college man who goes into politics finds that he has to deal with all classes of men. The young college man is listened to, but in politics he must take off the high hat :. ." Perhaps that is the secret of Governor Cross's sue- cess at the polls, After lengthy career as a college professor and dean he emerged in an entirely new role and made a go of it. But he did it not by holding himself aloof from the crowds but by interminsling with them and proving himself, for all his literary ae- eomplishmcnts, an ordinary mortal like the majority of us.'
 We don't suppose that every political leader enthused when reading that the gov- ernor declared that Under the dome in Hartford, politicians of my party tell me that must appoint a man because he has . voted the straight democratic ticket for ) years and must be rewarded. At Yale when we had an appointment to make we sur veyed the field and took the most competent { available man. In politics, however, there . is no thought of competency. have att tempted to select competent men and as a result have appointed as many republicans as. democrats. much to the dislike ot the democrats. think it is pretty well under stood in Connecticut that no one stands chance to receive political appointments un- ' less he is competent. The answer to :. that lies in the work that Cross appointees are doing or have done. It speaks for itself.

Motor Vehicles Commissoner Stoeekel is using good judgment, in eondemning the practice of coasters hitehing their sleds'to the backs of automobiles to be lowed along the streets or highways It is too dangerous in these days of heavy traffic. Motor vehicle operators should refuse to cooperate in this dangerous pastime, It doesn't deserve any encouragement. Sliding is a healthy and exhliratng sport. but it must be indulged in with extreme caution when human lives are endangered.

A Book a Day by BRUCE CATION
Three Lives
 And America
nv BRUCE CAPTION

"Never Ask the End", by Isapel Paterson, brings together in Paris three middio.aged Americnrs--two women and Q man-and, through 2 description of what they say and do and think during al fortnight or in- timacy, -expresses q thoughtful crit- icism of American life.
 The job Is done, so to speak, in a back .handed manner. Tho actual story is slight. Our three people meet, go drivng together, nourish c mild little triangular love affair, and presently they go their separ" ate ways; 1t Is In the way that tho background, material and spiritual. of each one is reereated during their meeting that we get a glimpse of the nation behind them.
 Their origins are middle western. One of the women, whose family moved to tho far west whom she was q child, can remember the acc tuai frontier. Their lives comprise c summary of recent American hiss tory; the conquest of the frontier, the emancipation of women," the crest of the industrial revolution these things arc part of their OK. perience.
 These people are not especially fortunate. Looking back, they con- clude that thoy have not had much real happiness. They have muffed most of their chances. But they have, very strongly, the feeling that life remains an adventure, that they are lucky to live In present.day America, that things have been in- teresting for them.
 ' Mrs Paterson has writtpn 0 thoughtful apd--though I hate the expression -A Q "civilized" novel. Published by Morrow at S2.60, 1t Is the January choice of the Literary Guild.

BIRD HAPPENINGS
(New York Herald -Tribune) )

tGNOW xOEh xAOEaio~ AtA0ahSl
 Bird items day by day have modest share in the news. Of those in Thursdays paper the ono on the mystery of the .murres was curious indeed. These Arctic sea- birds, cousins of the little auks that strangely blew into New York last month, are even crazier than the latter, if the story of their mi- Grations to inland Canada only to perish is not flight of the imag- ination. Canadian scientists credit ing the fact hope to discover the reason for the suicidal journey. What they can do about 1t If they find out is just another mystery.
 An easier problem to settle was that of the police chief of Racine, Wis, who had q down-and-Out rob in to care for at 10 below zero. He gave the bird free ticket<to Jack sonviile, Fla, a December kindness that any sensible Wisconsin robin should appreciate. Not that robins are unable to stand the cold. There are a good many winter redbreasts in the North, but they do not always find 1t easy to get food when the ground is snow covered.
 To help the winter birds the Kindly postoffice department is for warding rations (cracked corn and grain) for the rural carriers to scatter along the countryside. Pro- visions mailed to "Mr and Mrs Bird" are promptly delivered by the couriers whom, the legend says neither snow, nor rain, nor gloom of night stays from the swift com pietion of their appointed rounds" With scientists, police departments and the great Federal government, besides multitude of other friends, looking after their welfare the birds are not in . way of be- ing neglected.

 Washington-The great battle for the 'spoils Is getting into It's final cllnehes and if you haven't made any progress by this time your chances for q federal job probably are not very good.
 1t has been--and still is--a struggle of major proportions, what with an unprecedented nun. Der of democratic Legislators and legislator -elect, along with other politicians, fighting off an unpre- cedentod horde of folks fighting to get on the federal payroll.
 There nro so many deserving democrats, and 50 many people out of work or carrying on with greatly reduced incomes. It has been 50 many years since the dem- oerats marched into control--and during those years the republicans have infiltrated their own into most of the available jobs.
 Senators and representatives have found themselves in many q tough spot. Never was 1t possible for thom to make so many enc. mics, at one time while reward- ing and rotaniing q single friend.
 The perssure in thcir homo states and districts became 50 heavy after election that many of them hastoned to Washington at once and quite Q few would no sooner have returned to their homes for the holidays than they would have entered Q den of Hons.
 It's bad enough when they stay here, of course Every jobseeker who had the fare appears to have arrived to present q personal plea. One southern senator, who proba- bly, exaggerates, claims to have been receiving about 500 letters a day from constituents who want jobs. Many of the applicants are willing to take this job of tho other one, which they name In the order or desirability. Few seek to be ambassadors or cabinet members; nearly all are principally interest. cd in a good steady job with fair remuneration.
 The spells struggle has been pop- ping out in the halls of congress and no one there has suggested that 1t might be a little sordid or something. As Senator Huoy Long, putting 1t mildly, says-"There's s great eagerness on tho part of the deserving democrats all over the country

A Good Beginning

That prohibition will rank with the ~major issues to be considered by the Legis- lature at its l933 session was indicated E Thursday when two measures dealing direct sly with it were introduced, one by the demo- crats. the other by the republicans. The two are not the same but are closely related. The democratic proposal in the Senate was simply carrying out a wish in Governor Crcss's inaugural address of last week.

We don't see how republican legislators could say that they believed the bill creating Pulaski Day, introduced in the Legislature in lo3l. intended to make October 1 1 a legal holiday. Yet two members of the House Thursday offered that excuse as an explanation, we presume. for their failure to support it. The bill making it manda- tory for the governor to proclaim Pulaski Day annually was passed by both the House and Senate Thursday. It was the same Representative Peek from Bristol who op- posed the measure so hotly in 1891 and who declared that it opened the way to more of these gubernatorial proelamations. Repre- sentative Maeiora of New Britain intro- duced the measure two years ago; this ses- session Majority Leader Baldwin. republican. did the introducing. Two years ago the bill went down to defeat strictly on party lines. the republicans disapproving. democrats voting for it., Now nothing is left but to secure Governor Crosss signature and that won't be denied. Airs well that ends well. It was an expensive lesson for the republic cans to go counter to popular issue There are about twenty states that have adopted October as Pulaski Day. Even Congress has ordered the president to issue national proclamation. Connecticut did we'll to fall in line.
