While a week late in tender
ing our congratulations to
Oscar LaFrance on his splendid
issue concentrating the
twenty-fifth anniversary of the
establishment and management
of the Chisholm Miner, we
nevertheless join his host of
friends in the wish for a future
as full of success as the past has
been for Oscar. The ami
versary edition was a beauty,
filled with good wishes from all
sections of the country and
from people who are worth
while knowing; fine adver-
Using; historical sketches of
the Chisholm that was when
Oscar established his paper and
geographically perfect in
makeup and press work.
Again we congratulate Oscar
and with him the forces ac-
countable for the issue of this
handsome silver memorial
edition.

When you go to the polls on
Monday to cast your ballot for
the candidates of your choice
for the nominations sought, re-
member that there will be sew
eral names missing from the
ballot. In this 61st Legislative
District there will be no candi-
dates listed although they will
appear on the ballot in Novem-
Der. Only four having filed
for the legislature, John E..
Thompson, Mark Nolan, Henry
Tenhunen and Ray Anderson,
their names will not appear on
the primary ballot, neither will
those of Victor Essling and
George Lommen for the senate.
These men are automatically
nominated and their scrap will
be which of the two represen-
tatives and one senator will be
elected in November.
Kindly keep in mind that
John E. Thompson will be on
the ballot and that he is an Ely
man and that we want an Ely
man in the legislature. We
need a man of DR.. Thompson's
calibre in the law-making body
to protect our interests and the
interests of this vicinity from
the Vaccinations of other Sec
tions of the state who attribute
to us nothing. 1t is for that
matter that we need a fighter
for our interest and we believe
DR.. Thompson is a fighter.
Remember also that there
are other Ely men, men who
have made good and have
brought honor to our city and
schools, on the primary ballot.
There is Al Schaefer who is
seeking the nomination for
County Auditor and Jake Pete

Eth. MONEY ON
STATE ROADS.
Grading Takes Most Money,
With Concrete Paving Sec
ond, All Contracted.

How the s1O,6OO,O 900 of 1s33-34 emer-
gency Federal highway aid received by
this state has been divided among
various types of road work was an
nounced today by N. W. Elsberg, high
way commissioner. Practically all of
the funds are now under contract and
will be spent by late summer.
Grading ranks first in amount of
money allotted, with concrete paving
second and bridge construction third.
The following summary of how the
federal funds are being spent was given
by Mr.. Elsberg, round figures being

Senator Shipstead has an
nounced that he will not make
a campaign for the primaries
and will remain in Washington
and attend to the business for
which he was elected. The
Senator is busy on the fire suf-
ferer's bill and through his
most excellent services on the
measure, coupled with the de-
termined attitude of President
Roosevelt, bids fair to have the
matter come to another vote
with excellent prospects of its
passage and thus rectify an in
justice done hundreds of suf-
ferers in the conflagration of
1918.
Congressman Shoemaker, the
opposition to Senator Shipstead
on the Farmer-Labor ticket is
handling the Senator's cam
paign very nicely. Wherever
he appears in his own behalf,
he is making votes-for Ship
stead.
These two are not alone in
the race for the high office. N.
j. Holmberg of st. Paul and
Tom Davis of Minneapolis are
candidates for the nomination
on the Republican ticket and
Einar Hoidale of Minneapolis
and Lewis E. Lohmann on the
Democratic ticket. Since the
PRONUNCIATION of the Russian
lied FL. platform, the politi-
cal trend in the state has taken
on a decidedly changed aspect.
Those who stand for American
principles cannot stomach the
confiscation of industries under
the cooperative common
wealth" plank so plainly en-
unciated in the platform. Since
the platform was given pub
licity, the speakers of the party
have been busy excusing the
document with the statement
that it did not mean what it
said and that it was just the
opposite. Any one familiar
with the English language will
digest the several planks as
meaning just what they say and
just what the party stands for.
Already, several manufac-
turing plants employing large
numbers of men and women,
have made the statement that
should the specialization of in
dustry program be voted for the
state, the industries would seek
other fields. The latest to
make this statement are the j..
R. Watkins Co., and the Nit
chell Knitting Mills, two of the
largest industrial concerns in
Winona. The owners and OPP
orators of manufacturing
plants, mills, mines and farms
are not misled by the excuses

NEW ROLLERDROME OPENS TOMORROW
Dick Halliwell, Veteran Promoter, Gives, City
 Modern Skating Rink

Tomorrow will inaugurate new spot and amusement enterprise in Waterbury when the grand open ing of the Elite Rollerdrome sit- uated over the Mohican market on North Main street takes place.
 Dick Halliwell, our former thea ter manager is the promoter of this new exhilarating pastime, and Wa terburians can look for the very best. He has conducted some of the largest and most famous roller rinks in New England, among them being the Canobie Lake Park rink at Salem, New Hampshire; the Rollaway in Lowell, Mass; the Pavilion rink at Hanover Park, Meriden; Millers Casino rink at Savin Rock and the Auditorium on South Main Street. Waterbury.
 It was while operating at the auditorium that Halliwell organ- ized the New England Polo League which was later enlarged to the National League and Waterbury was furnished with some of the finest polo games ever seen on a rink floor with such stars carrying the Waterbury colors as digger Higgins, Nick McGilvery, Jack Fahey, Tommy Holderness, David Cusick, Bob Larson and others. Also a brand of polo was furnished that was positive delight to Wa terbury's sport lovers.
 Extensive alterations have been made during the past four weeks and special pains have we'll been taken with the skating floor, as it was already we'll seasoned and bone dry. Mir Halliwell had three of. his carpenters spend three weeks in removing every part that had a nail, hole or blemish and sanding he has a perfect floor smooth as a billiard table. An equipment of the famous Richard son and Winstow roller skates have been purchased and every thing has been done that MT Halli- wells long experience in the busi- ness has taught him would be of advantage.
 The sound ard musical system is specially builE and is high powered and possessed of splendid tone. It was built by the famous radio and electrical engineer. James McDer- mitt. and is adaptable for both records and radio so the very best of music from all the country's ia. nous bands and orchestras will ac- company the skaters as they whirl around on the little rollers.
 Exper instructors will be in at tendance at all times to help be- ginners and arrangement can also be made for private lessons morn ings by appointment.
 Ladies will find that this is one of the most pleasing forms of re- ducing. and acquiring grace. Chil- dren will only be permitted to skate on Saturday and holiday mornings.

Nations Future In
 Hands Of Students
Evolution, Rather Than Revolution, Americas Ideal
 Asserts Wesleyan President at N. E. Council Meet
fsnaclaI fn the Delnocratl

Boston. Mass, Nov 23.--Express- ing the belief that the nations fu- ture rests in to-day's students. President James l.. McConaughy of Wesleyan university, told the New England Council here last night that the E. P. I. c. movement in California was the type which might be expected in many states if the ''energy of youth is not sym pathetically directed otherwise"
 The Wesleyan president declared that the new ideas of life and so- ciety which are being so widely acc cepted often cut straight across the convictions and experiences of Connecticut industrial leaders" and urged consideration of methods of securing "a job for everybody who is able to work, at fair pay, with reasonable working hours, and with adequate time off to enjoy iife'' along with ''security against the hardships of unemployment, sickness, accident and old age."
 President McConaughy told the council that i've must show a greater -mindedness and will ifigness to cooperate and not op- pose.'
 Explaining his personal convic- tions, he said:
 ''First: I am convinced that America has the ability to work out her own salvation, for a new day. based on the best of the past. see nothing in the experiments abroad that makes me want to du- plicate their plans here. We do not need a soviet state, or a fascist one, or a Hitler plan, or a com- pletely socialistic state. Evolution, rather than revolution, is our ideal. The one thing I covet from abroad is the conviction and unity which seem to prevail in some foreign lands. am just as convinced as ever of the soundness of this land and it's future. I covet for Amer ica, from Americans, more united- ness, more conviction that our peo- pie have within them the desire and capacity to evolve here civ ilization, society, which will em- body the American dream as has been done in days gone by.
 Avoid Smugness
 ''Eecond, decry any tendencies to insularity in Connecticut. I want our state to be part of what is going on, to avoid smugness with past importance, to diminish it's tendencies to hold itself aloof from the rest of the union of states.
 Third, will give the president of the United States every support I can conscientiously, in his efforts to lead us into better days. Whole hearted support of him seems to me now the best way to avoid

The Important Element.

In effect the Districts Board Of
Indeterminte Sentence and Parole
says to the Commissioners: Either
furnish us with necessary funds and
personnel enabling us to function as
a parole board, or dispense with the
pretense of maintaining board that
is one in name only, with possibly
harmful effect on the community and
inadequate attention given to the
needs of those in whose behalf it
should minister.
In the boards report to the Com
missioners the recent views expressed
by DR.. Loren B. johnson In resigning
from the board are given strong back
ing. The handicaps under which the
board has worked are described and
doubt expressed as to whether the
board as at present constituted will
last unless its recommendations are
sympathetically received. One spe-
cific request is for joint meeting Of
the Commissioners, the Board Of
Public Welfare and the Board Of
Indeterminate Sentence and Parole, at
which the whole problem can be dis

cussed and at which some agreement
may be reached on future policy.
The Commissioners win doubtless
grant that reasonable request.
The Districts parole system was
established as q desirable step in
social welfare. Other socially desirable
legislation, such as the bills providing
for old age pensions and alley elimi-
nation. Is now pending in Congress.
All this legislation, 1. enacted INTO
law, will require proper financing.
Under existing conditions It is i'm
possible to provide the money. Those

ton the social welfare of the COM
munity will find it necessary to seek.

community has . prouder record Of
service and devotion to the state than
the co-religionists Of Disraei. Sir
Moses Montefiore, the English Roths-
childs, and, in our time, Of men like
the Earl Of Reading and Sir Herbert
Samuel.
In the way of Fascist economic
program Sir Oswald foreshadowed
a policy designed to put "a Fascist
government back Of trade and in
dustry." 1t will not bother with tariffs
or quotas, he explained. but by de-
cree will exclude absolutely from Great
Britain and the dominions everything
that can be manufactured at home.
Such program on the present basis
would bar about f145, 900, 900 worth of
manufactured goods now imported
into Britain and f2O0 100000 of food,
all Of which, the optimistic Fascist
champion holds, can be produced
within the United Kingdom. Sir Os-
wald would have a managed currency
and hberate Britain from a system
of international finance that has its
head Office in Wall Street." He dis
misses the League of Nations as IAN
inadequate machine with bad drivers" !"
FasciSm, he says, would mend the ma
chine and have 1t run by experts.
Third parties, as in the United
States, generally have hard shedding
in Great Britain. Labor over there
has been the one shining exception.
Sir Oswald Mosley now essays to &C
complish what Joseph Chamberlain
and David Lloyd George in their re-
spective days tried and failed to
achieve as prophets and pioneers of
independent new political movements.
At time when John Bulls people
are emerging, in Chancellor of Ex-
chequer Neville Chamberlain's recent
Dickensian idiom, from BLEAK House"
into land of Great Expectations
with postwar depression definitely
on the way QUIT does not seem
likely that Fascism, despite yesterdays
auspicious curtain-raiser in Albert
Hall, is destined to sweep the solid
British public from its ancient moor
ings into the fantastic experimental
ism of Fascism.

The F. E. r. A.
From the Santa Monica Outlook.

From the Santa Monica outlook.
When the record of the c. w. A. Is
examined, the feeling will be general
that the F. e. r. A. is wise in de-
veloping an organization and not rush-
ing into its tasks haphazard and with
out respect for consequences.
Speaking broadly, the C. w. A. was
blunder and a mistake. President
Roosevelt ordered it in haste and ac-
tive operations were begun without
adequate plans or organization. Thou
sands of days work were paid for
when men stood idle because of lack
Of tools or a place to work. Waste,
extravaganza and in some cases down.
right crookedness compelled the Gov
ernment to discontinue the c. w. A.,
as an experiment that failed. In Los
Angeles County alone, the reports in
dicate that over 5000, 900 was expended
monthly In excess Of the needs Of the
recipients.
1t Is to be hoped the new F. e. r. A.
will profit by the experience of G. w.
A. and that the scandalous conditions
may not recur. It remains to be seen,
however, whether relief administered
from Washington will not be excess
sively costly and lack much of the
ehciency and practical value Of local
administration.

Ban on Loans to Debtors
Leaves Some Uncertainty

That debtNwill be settled by friendly
arbitration, or it will not be settled
at all"
"As confidence is restored and busi-
ness revives," says the Owensboro
(Ky) Messenger, 1T will be natural
for us again to become banker to
many of our foreign customers. Legis-
lation which would make it impossible
to do so would be Ill advised, and en-
tirely out of harmony with that phase
of the recovery program which looks
toward freer exchange of goods and
services; and the Lowell Courier-Cit-
izen feels that the most that can be
said in its favor is that "the Johnson
bill makes it illegal, in the view of its
supporters, for a fool either sooner
or later to part with his money, pro-
vided he has had it in mind to lend
some of this to people of nation that
has repudiated its debts to the United
States" 1t Is suggested by the same
paper, however, that cit is probable
the large vote accorded the johnson
bill was in evidence of a belief that
some check should be put upon invest
ment in the municipal and public
service bonds of Bolperu or Rumslo-
venfa, priced to yield 11.37 per cent,
if it shall be of record at Washington
that on Its national issues the Bol-
peruvian or Rumslovenian government
is in default to the U. s. A."
Secretary Hull" states the Buffalo
Evening News, "is expected to issue q
statement soon interpreting the bill.
Is 1t impossible to have clear bills
drawn up so that people can know
what they mean before they are
passed? If it is impossible, cannot
such bills be held up until the inter-
probation Is made? Secretary Hull Is
to do now what the text Of the bill
should already have done-namely.
explain ITSELF"

There may be things in the oper-

will not appreciate as inof1ensive ex-
