 Colonel Vinson demanded and rec ceiyed the floor for 10 minutes. He apoligized to the house for "the lack of understanding of the new member from Kentucky"
 My charge against him was nos that he was disloyal-his head ie so thick. his brains work 50 slowlN that he can not understand the English language"
 Then rose Gen Charles Marti9 of oregon, the army's former ass sistant chief of staff, to demand:

One more state adds itself to the steadily increasing number of those who believe that in legaIized betting on horse racing there is desirable form of revenue. Delaware has just made horse racing legal. It prohibits betting on the races but 50 does New York. yet there is probably just as much betting on horse racing at New York tracks as there are at Marylsnds or Kentueky's where the pari-mutuel system prevails. New Hamp- shire only recently authorized both horse rae- ing and betting on the races under this sys- tenn whereby the state reaps proportionate share of each bet laid. the winners sharing in the remainder. Connecticut has yet to sig nifty its sentiment towards the two measures now before the Legislature. There has been opposition in the past. It will continue. but the favorable reaction is more noticeable than ever this year. And whyf Simply because states need naw sources of income. Legalized betting is one way of securing it.

False Economy

, The Baldwin bil designed to save the salaries of state employes. was saved yester- day when Senator Joseph P. Cooney. the democratic insurgent, voted with the repub- licans and produced tie vote. This was broken by Lieutenant Governor Roy C. Will cox and the measure was passed. It had p;e- viously been passed in the House despite considerable objection from the democratic minority. scale of wage reductions IS estab- lished by the bill. It also provides for eim- ination of all salaries for members of the state tuberculosis commission. It was this last feature of the bill which held it up in the Senate so long,
 It was just another one of those peculiar little twists that the republicans of Connecti- cut delight in bringing to the fore. Salaries have been paid to members of the tubercu- losis commission for good many years now. It is the only commission thus honored, but t has been pointed out that any commission which meets on an average of once week and whose members are required to visit the five state sanatorla at regular weekly in- tervas should be entitled to more recom- pense than mere travelling expenses How ever, with the election of Governor Cross and his appointment of several democrats to the commission the republican attitude on sal aries changed.
 If our readers can pardon a throw back we will point out that the g. O. p. attitude on many matters of state interest changed with the advent of democratic governor. Two years ago the republican Legislature decided that democratic governor should not be allowed to appoint the judges of the courts of common pleas, so this half cen- tury old custom was deleted and the power of appointment placed in the hands of the General Assembly. A few other instances of republican Covering up" could be shown in which the primary purpose was to pro- tect the party and to ignore the people.
 A few weeks ago republican legislative leaders were charging the democrats with preventing state economies by holding up the salary reduction bill. So brazen was this effort to shift responsibility that even the republican newspapers of the state joined in the general protest and pointed out that less anxiety upon the part of the republican par ty to protect itself would be appreciated Could there have been any other reason for elimination of the state free employment bureau by denying the state labor depart ment an appropriation for them other than the mere fact that they are now manned by democratic sppointecs where once there were republieanS'

not about time that some atten- tion was paid to that also?
 When we Catholics asked the State Department to take some cognizance of these facts, citing the very same precedents the Jews are citing now, we were told that 1t was no affair of this country, that it was a matter of domestic concern for Mexico alone. Yet Germany is a foreign country. and Mexico is a semi.dependcncy of ours, in spite of all pretences to the contrary.
 The papers, led by the New York Times, have played up the German prosecutions day in and day out, all over their columns. Just try to get them to do the same for Mexico. The only an- swer you will get is that they arc not in possession of the facts. a shameful admission for an enter prising press. The truth of the matter is that when the Jews go about getting publicity for protests over persecution, they mean busi- ness.
 It is well that civilized nations join to protest when there is relig- ious persecution in any land. Cath olics do not bcgrudge the Jews this protest, and have readily joined with them to express their horror at what is reported out of Ger many. Indeed, some Catholics have been heard who were silent when there was question of any public expression about Mexico or Spain or Russia. Let the protests go on. At the proper time we will ask tho people of this country to say what they think about persecution of Catholics in other lands also.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1933-04-06

The stories of persecution of
 Jews coming out of Germany have
 stirred their coreligionists here to Q pitch of fury and indignation. In this movement right-thinking per- sons in this country have joined. As
 Cardinal Hayes said to the news papers, "It Is certainly deplorable
 to have persecution added to the
 sorrows of the world" The cen- sorship has aggravated the site uation, for when there is censor- ship, rumors from border towns take the place of news. In view of all this the Jews of the country have asked their Christian fellow- citizens to join them in protest. and the request has been granted. The Federal Council of Churches and an organization called the Greater New York Interfaith conn
 mittee have issued protests like-
 wise, and the State Department has taken cognizance of them.
 Now here is 0 fair question. A persecution-of Catholics, of course-has been going on for
 some years in Mexico, and in sav- agery and concentrated hate 1t vastly exceeds anything that has been reported out of Germany. When did anyone ever hear about this Interfaith committee issuing a protest about that? If Hitler and
 his followers really mean that they
 intend to stamp the Jewish relig-
 ion out of Germany, then the same
 Is true in much greater degree
 of the Catholic religion in Mexico.
 Churches by the dozen have. been
 stolen and dcfiled; Catholic schools confiscated; many bishops have
 been exiled. including the repre- sentative of the pope himself;
 priests hunted, tortured, and mur-
 dered; sisters chased through the
 streets; lay men and women, just
 because they were Catholics. have
 lost their property, and in hun dreds of cases their very lives;
 little children have been beaten up
 when they bravely proclaimed
 their love for their clergy. Is 1t

washington-It's a good thing the congressmen from Kentucky didn't bring along any of them thar shootin' irons, because the feud they have started on the floor or the house must be as bitter as any that ever famed in the wild noun tains of the Blue Grass state.
 Certainly 1t has been an exchange of fighting words.
 Col Fred M. vinson, Col Andrew Jackson, Col Virgil Chapman ana Col Finley Hamilton, all democrat is members form Kentucky. appear to have started this field day when they voted against the Roosevelt economy bill.
 But the real shooting began when the famous Louisville Courier Journal, Col Robert Worth Bing- hams paper--he's the new ambass- ador to England, exploded with an editorial captioned "Assassins' Bull lets" walled at the "shame of that betrayal which Kentucky must suffer-"
 One gent who didn't take that bit of rugged journalism lying down was Colonel May. He rose on the floor with speech he called From the police court of Louisville to the Court of St James"
 The first thing Colonel Bingham had done in Louisville, said Col onel May, was to run for county attorney and 50 corrupt were the ballot boxes they had to be disre- garded. :.
 Colonel May went on to talk of the man "who had hibernated with every discredited republican organ ization in Kentucky for 20 years and always found easy admittance wherever crookedness and graft prevailed" Roosevelt had answered the agonized cry of Kentuckyians. he said. by packing Bingham off to England"
 "Cowardly stacker in the war. was another of Colonel Mays sweet
 And Colonel May after marking back to Andrew Jackson in de- fense of his vote, finished by shout ing just where Colonel Bingham and his newspaper could go.
 Meanwhile, Colonel vinson, now in his fourth term, had been writ ing himself a speech several yards long. He asked leave to print and covered 10 columns of the Congress sionad Record explaining his econ omy bill vote and pasting that "dastradiy editoriar' and Bingham. He too quoted Andrew Jackson.

Believe it or not, the Eeturn of beer is scheduled to speed up the sardine industry. Sardines are thirst provokers and anything that provokes the thirst is believed to be an incentive to heavier beer consumption. That's why the Provincetown fishermen are enthus- ing about the return of beer. It will stim- ulate their trade in sardines and also in salt cod for which there was considerable demand before prohibition. Once the dry laws were passed salt cod output dropped off 75 per cent. Now it's time to start eating it again,

Jesuit fathers who penetrated the wilder

Jesuit fathers who penetrated the wilder nesses of western New York almost three centuries ago may be commemorated if the Finger Lakes Association has its way. A new bridge near Seneca Falls is to be called Etienne de Carhel Bridge in honor of the missionary He was perhaps the most famous of number who labored among the Cayuga Indians in the middle of the l7th century. Others who achieved fame were Fathers Rene Menard and Joseph Chaumont. It was Father de Carheil, though, who built the Cayuga mission in 1868 and remained there until it was abandoned in 1884. Father de Carheil could speak the Indian language of the various tribes in western New York most fuently and his later writings were for years regarded as the most authentic histories He lived to be g years old. These Jesuit missionaries were more fortunate than others who labored among the Indians in that they were not martyred as were Jogues and his companions. These martyrs today are being subjected to the thorough scrutiny and examination of the Roman Catholic church prior to their canon- iZation as saints.

Where Can Beer Be Sold
 Legally?

Editor of Waterbury Democrat.
 The public Is very much inter- ested in the conditions under which dealers will be permitted to sell beer and wine to be consumed on the premises. If it is to be con- fined to side streets and the out skirts of the city where there IS very little police protection, it IS easy to see what is coming. It was the licensing of places to sell liquor in purely residential dis tricts that caused the public upris- ing against the saloon which re- suited in the passage of the Vol stead act.
 There appears to be no objection to the return of beer, provided 1t IS to be handled by responsible deal- CTS and in suitable places. If the new regulations do not operate with due regard for where beer will be sold and by whom, it VIII not take long to raise a howl that will cause confusion in every town and city in the state.
