This Language Of Ours

The Latin language is showing new signs of life. And the old arguments for and against it appear again. An opponent of Latin study makes these objections to it: Latin does not teach the student to think and develop his mental powers. Latin is es- sentially memory subject. not logical subject. Latin is not an aid to good Eng fish writing. Latin words and Latin gram mar only lead to confusion in writing Eng fish. Students who excel in Latin have a tendency to be inferior in their English liter ature compared to their fellow-pupils."
 An advocate of Latin asks whether it is knowledge of Latin. or ignorance of Latin that causes confusion in writing English. A person with little knowledge of Latin would hardly make the current mistakes of writing this data is,' or compared to- when he means compared with" He would not be likely to say Jump in the water" when he means jump into the water" because he would know the differ enee between words of motion and words of rest. He would not say you was" He would know how to use the English sub junetive -- for example. If were.' He might not use the adjective due" as an om- nbus adverb. He would realize that "go- ing places is slang.
 As for logic, grammar is the minds nat ural logic, showing how the human mind works The Latin mind was supremey logical. We have so little infection in mod ern English that our scrambled grammar is hard to understand without the study of some infected language. Our modern English language is made up mainly of Anglo Saxon and Latin words. The former provide the bones of rhe language, the latter the flexbility and grace. Both are valuable. English liter ature in this country today is undergoing rapid corruption at the hands of writers who, not knowing other languages do not know their own,

Lay On The Lash

Sentiment all over the nation is turning towards the use of the lash as d means of punishing violators of various laws Our forcfathers believed completely in corporal punishment. They bent over backwards, though in their application. Still they were sehoolcd in I stern atmosphere and naturally inherited many of the traits that made them leave their European homes. Our first set- tiers fled Europe to escape persecution, but brought with them, sad to relate, many of their prosecutors habits which they proceed cd, in time. 10 impose on their neghbors
 We are now reputed to be in q highly civilized state. But judging by the many and varied criminal activities we are merely claiming this state of progress on our own SaySo. And when our courts begin to regard certain criminals with q baleful glare, we should give heed to the prsnal urge and ehastze the offender as perhaps we might have in the days before law and order. So if in our states the old time whipping post is resurreeted, We should not be surprised nor too critical. Right here in Connecticut Judge Alfred C. Baldwin of the superior court and States Attorney Hugh M Aleorn are the latest advocates of it.
 In recent Hartford county case it was brought out that a man had been proved guilty of beating his wife with an iron pipe and shoe. It was at this point that the judge and prosecutor joined in an expression of hope that for such crimes as these eor- poral punishment was needed. Judge Bald win stated from the bench that If the gen. eral assembly had wisely provided corporal punishment for certain of these crimes there would be much less business for the criminal court. This class of crime and the cases of young men who are committed to the reform atory would be notably less. Such law would be greater prevention of crime than anything that has been done in the last few years.

The Sacred Cod Crins

The political atmosphere of Massachusetts these days is overcast Men are not so prone to shout their convictions from the treetops They prefer to whisper them. if by chance they have any convictions to pass along to a neighbor or friend. And from what one can deduee this sullen quiet is but the pause before the storm. The Roosevets have de- seended upon the Bay State and appear to front pages the same information, it must be SO. And recently the Transcript opined that Governor Joseph B. Ely and Senator David l. Walsh were on the way but. while James Roosevelt and Mayor lNmcs M. Curley of Boston were moving ifao power.
 Of course, it is common knowledge and has been for some time that the first two august personages mentioned above were be- ing overlooked by President Roosevelt and his aides down at Washington so far as the actual distribution of patronage in Massa- ehusetts is concerned. James Roosevelt se- cured two important positions for personal friends not SO long ago in the Bay State. One was an extremely important one in the office of the Attorney Generals office at Wash- ington. But strange to relate both these appointees have shown considerable aptitude and far from allowing lot of "I.toldyou sos" they are measuring up to the Roosevelt demands
 All of which doesn't add to the store of pleasant information that Governor Ely and Senator Walsh are collecting. They have been rather eomplaeently regarding their hold on the party as permanent or at least for the duration of their lives. So much SO that Governor Ely eontcmplates retiring from its present office at the end of his term next year. Senator Walsh comes up for reelee- ton in l934. but he will not retire, at least not without fight. And even the aid of the administration may not be sufficient to overcome his vote.scttins ability which is considerable.
 Offhand We don't see how Ely or Walsh can be shelved by the democrats of Massa- ehusetts without better reasons than that James Roosevelt wants to take his hand in the political domination of the state. For years Walsh has been the outstanding demo- erat. not merely within his own boundaries but down at Washington. He has not earned retirement for his devotion to the party. As for Governor Ely his ascension to the governorship was compliment to his strength and personality. Why relesatc him to the background SO suddenly We feel sure that after Massachusetts democrats have thought the matter over very carefully, their old idols will not be thrown down in the market place.

The Old Liberalism

Nothing is much more instructive, in a world where progress is the watehword. than to listen to the "reminiscences of a dis illusoned rcformer. A Washington eore- spondent the other day sat down to chat with Senator Thomas P. Gore of Oklahoma. Senator Gore used to be an ardent liberal, Wilsonan progressive..a a tcammate, in the old days. of such fighters as Bryan and the elder LaFollette. Now he has cooled off. and he doubts that reformers push things along much faster, in the long run. than conservatives.
 Wears ago. when was coming along in life. l thought we were going to solve all the problems of the world" he said. First. we wanted the initiative and referendum. It was obvious that with the powers of the initiative the people would do whatever needed to be done to make ours a perfect society. With the referendum. the people would hold in check whatever should not be done.
 "Of course we also had to have the direct election of United States senator's" he goes on. We got that. and 10, it hath made towards of us all To cement and consoli- date our gains. we had to have woman suf- frage. We knew the good women would vote only for honorable and able public ser- wants, wise and human public policies And to cap all our reforms we needed prohibi- ton. We were going to substitute the moral code for the penal code" And he con- ciudes: We knew that when we accom- plished these things we could sit off on the sidelines and watch all our problems solve Themselves.
 Any adult whose memory goes back to pre-war days can see that all of this was pretty largely. the old progressive credo. It hung, for the most part, on an unquestioning faith in pure democracy. Give the people all the power possible and all will be well, the remedy for the ills of democracy is more de- mocracy: the voice of the people is the voice of God-so ran the philosophy of the liberal.
 The progressive sounds a different note today. No longer does he rely on an exten- sion of the principles of Jefferson and Jack son. Democracy has to function in an in- finitely complex society. Your up-to-date seformer is more likely to be an economist or an engineer than politician. He fights for the same old cause--a freer. happier life for the ordinary man-but he has been sorced to use different weapons The old ones were good. but they weren't enough v themselves.

Massachusetts is planning quite bridle path. It is going to extend from Williams- town, which is way over near the New York state border, all the way over to Cape Cod. That's quite project. It has taken a good many states long time to build foot paths across their length or breadth. To build bridle path involves even more work, because brdle path can't follow as many short cuts as would trail. Wonder who'll be the first person to ride the entire length of the proposed trail. Hope it won't be somebody not accustomed to long hours in the saddle. Imagine the feeling of be- gnner after riding from Cape Cod to Will lamstown astride lively nag. State forests and parks will be utilized where possible for the bridlepath. We'll, some one of these days we can see Connecticut horsemen beseeching our state park and forest commission for a similar project Many of the parks now afford recreation for riders,

Cod Liver Oil Season

To many adults the small child who reminded her mother eheerfully. Fall is coming; cod liver oil season for mel' may apepar to have depraved taste. Of course. she is only one of many youngsters who have been familiar with cod liver oil since infancy and find it not at all pnpalatable in it's modern mint and fruit-flavored forms Mortified adults might do worse than make the coming winter cod liver oil season for themselves. Extensive studies made by doe- tors in Boston and Rochester, N. r., have shown that use of cod liver oil and working efficiency are closely related.
 The studies were conducted over period of three years. The subjects were men and women employed under average commercial conditions at office work and at light and heavy machine work. One group of these workers took cod liver oil regularly, the other did not. It was found that the oil users lost only l.l per cent of working hours on account of illness. Those without the oil were absent 3.l per cent of their time.
 At such rate" the researchers point out, ''the 250.000.000 working days lost annually in American industry because of sickness could be reduced to less than l00,- 100000 by universal cod liver diet By the same means, doctor bills would be saved general health and efficiency would b eim- proved, and enjoyment of social life would gain. Ultraviolet light. from sun lamp. of course. would do the same thing for them if properly used.

CONSTITUTION DAY
(New York Times)

NNOW 1Ok AhhSpf
 It is remembered in the annals Of this city that the. citizens In 1851 presented to Danie! Webster, thon secretary of state, as Q token Of respect for his defense of the Con. stitution "a handsome carriage made to order sss and c span of horses" Today no recognition is asked for any one defender of the Constitution, but all citizens arc asked by displaying tho symbol of inc United States to show their re- spect for that instrument which is tho very foundation of our political and social order, and so declare forces that seek or tend in any way to Ignore or undermine 1t. It has been happily suggested that wherever the emblem of national recovery Is shown the national flag might well accompany 1t.
 We remember what Lord Bryce said of 1t forty years ago, and con- tinued to say to the end of his days-and would doubtless still say today: that after all deductions are made our Constitution franks above every other written Con- stitution for the intrinsic excellence of it's scheme, its adaptation to the circumstances of the people, the simplicity, brevity and precision of its language, its judicious mixture of definiteness in principle with elasticity in details"
 It's purpose was not only to hold In equilibrium the relative powers of the nation and the states, but also the rights of the government and those of the individual. As one of its present. defenders has said, it "defended the rights of the hu- man soul": the integrity of the in- dividual as well as that of the state; his freedom of religion, of speech, of the press. of assembly and of petition-rights which are guaranteed inviolably. With all its elasticity, this principle must be maintained with 3nflexibility.
 The resolution of the State His torical association urges prepara- tion for the celebration of the 150th anniversary in 1887. The best preparation is that which comes from an understanding apprecia- ton of the significance of this fun- damental law of our national be- ing. The vision of those who framed it and fought for 1t has preserved it. Without 1t we should perish as a united people. We owe 1t tour careful study and our rev- erent gratitude"

Pietro Rcalmuto is dead. Don't suppose his name will mean much to the average person. but to great many it will. Mr Realmuto was president of the Roman Maearon Company of Long Island City. Perhaps now the name will sound familiar He invented what is popularly referred to today as "five-minute spaghetti. You know under ordinary circumstances you cook spaghetti as much as twenty minutes, de- pending. of course, on your taste. After thirty years manufacturing maearoni. vermi- eelli, and noodles Mir Realmuto devised die to shape spaghetti with thinner walls, thus cutting down the preparing time.
