ADOLPH HITLER LANDS
 GERMA NCHANCLLORSHIP

BERLIN.-Adolph Hitler, national Socialist party chieftain, has been ap- pointed by President Hindenburg the high position of chancellor of Ger many. Hitler immediately selected a cabinet, which was administered the oath of office at once by Hindenburg.
 VOn Papen was made vice chancel- Tor and Prussian commissioner.
 While Hitler finally has achieved his ambition, hls elevation to power is actually a compromise, with a con- servative president, cabinet and min istry surrounding him. They re- 4uired Hitler to swear an oath of al- legiance to the republican constitu- reserving for himself the posts oI minister of the interior and minister without portfolio.
 Should the Catholic center and Ba- uarian parties, which are allies, de- cline to support Hitler, new election will be held with the slogan "Far -Hindenburg and Hitler"
 Political observers generally have agreed the new cabinet will encounter opposition from organized labor, swhich was to be expected under the

Goodbye, Suckers

Somehow or other one never thought Of
good old Texas Guinan dying. She seemed
to be one of those perennials who are with
us forever and finally sort of fade out OF
the picture. But Texas has proved as
susceptible to the human ills as anybody
else. She suecumbed in a Vancouver. b.
c., hospital to an intestinal ailment Sunday.
Il was perhaps a sad commentary that she
died at the opposite end of the country in
which she made her name and fame. She
might have preferred to die nearer the gay
lights of Broadway, but death is no re-
specter of peoples wishes.
Still again Texas Guinan might have
been glad to die away from the scenes that
had been so familiar to her of recent years.
While she basked in the glow of Broad
ways lights as a prime favorite and enter
tainer all was we'll, but who knows the
heartaehes and rebuffs that were also hers
Her reputation was largely won during
the decade that prohibition ruled in our
midst. As mistress Of host of different
night clubs Texas Gunan became known
from coast to coast for her inimitabe style
of greeting and repartee which she exchanged
with all and sundry.
She began her career at the age OF IA
when she won a Marshall Field scholarship
for singing in Chicago. From this, strange
as it may seem, she drifted to broneho rid
ing in a small circus. 1t naturally fol-
lowed that she would turn to vaudeville and
the legitimate theater and ultimately to the
movies. But material success did not come
until she landed in New York and became
mistress Of ceremonies for night clubs. 1t
was always her claim that she never per-
mitted liquor to be sold at her establish
ments, but that did not prevent each and
everyone of them from being raided and
padloeked.
Another claim of this eolorful figure, so
typical of the nation. was that in all her
life she had never taken drink Of in
toxieating beverage. Intimate friends also
vouched for this fact. Another fact also not

going She was a regular attendant at d.

Those were fighting words that Vernon 5.

his criticism of the present plan Of eonstrue-
ton of the Merritt Highway. Mr. Mooee-
house is councilman in Stafford and was
most outspoken in his remarks. However, in
this respect he was no different than many
Fairfield county officials and residents who
regard the plans. as announced by the Cover
nor and also by State Highway Commits
sioner Macdonald merely as make-shift It's
funny. but every paper, save perhaps>those
in Fairfield county, fail to see it in this light.
We have fead general approval in their
remarks.
But to return to Mr. Warehouses; attack
on Governor Cross. Among other things he
said that the republicans of Connecticut had
glorious opportunity to make campaign
issue of the Merritt Highway. He believes
that the democratic candidate could be defeat
ed and the republican elected on this
one point. We disagree right there. In the
first place we think the state is as aware of the
fact, as Fairfield county should be, that the
Merritt highway is not political football.
And il it was the democrats could bring
forward the claim that until they had placed
their governor in office the republican officials
in Hartford were content to do little or moth
ing about the Merritt Highway. Let no one
get the idea that this super highway for Fair.
field county is the offspring of recent days.
It was suggested many years ago when it be-
came obvious that the Post road could not
carry the amount OF traffic that was predicted
for il. We blame no public official, whether
he be republican or democratic, for not au.
thorzing immediate construction Of the par
allel route.
That's why we can't quite see how the re-
publicans can blame the democratic governor
for laxity with regard to the Merritt High
way. 1t seems to US to have prospered under
democratic administration, whereas in repub'
iesn times it was merely phantasy. Yet we
aren't claiming that to the democrats must so
credit for building the road. If this $4,000.
900 proposition is ever finished it should be
a credit to every official who has held office

under construction.
