The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-11-12

Chicago, Nov. 12- There is one thing which strikes you more than anything else about last weeks democratic land- slide.
 It was not so much vote for the democratic party. It was not even SO much u vote for Presi- dent Roosevelt although his personality influenced the pie ture. Chiefly it was vote for what Roosevelt has done, and a pledge of faith in what he promises for the future.
 In other words it was a vote for a new deal. Not the N W Deal of campaign oratory, but the new deal which has saved mortgaged farms from the auc- tion-block, which has k P : drought stricken areas from starving, which has sent AAA checks to farmers, and which, more than anything else, has held forth prospect for the future which these depressed prairies have not felt for years.
 The midwest has not gone democratic. The organizations planted promiscuously around the countryside by unctuous Jim Farley have taken only surface root.
 Nor is the midwest still re- publican. More than at any, time probably in a generation it has cast off party fables. It IS ready to swing its support to the side of the party with the big gest prospect of continuing new deal.
 ON THE SPOT
 This, of course, puts a still greater burden on the man at the helm of the New Deal.
 With tremendous majorities in both houses of congress, with unequivocal support voted by the people, with a precedent for action established which may De hard to follow, Roosevelt faces a real test.
 The next two years may be his hardest.
 Indicative of this are some big question marks uppermost in midwestern minds. Of these probably the two biggest and most significant are:
 i. Is the government going to continue it's program or enormous expenditure? If not. what will the midwest do? If

A Book a Day
Says News Writing Is As Good As Any
BY BRUCE CAPTION

Highbrows who sheer at news paper writing as a hit-or-miss sort of composition don't know what they are talking about. Some of the best. of all modern writing is found in the daily newspapers; Furthermore, every editor knows that no writing can be "too good for the newspapers"
 The average reporter iS not an uncouth, gin-soaked boor, in spite of the movies and some popular novels; nor are city editors mani acs who scream across noisy bedlam while heartIessly working their slaves to death.
 These are samples of the com mon sense disclosures made in Stanley Walkers new book, "City Editor"
 MT Walker, who is city editor of the New York Herald-Tribune. has undertaken to sketch the news paper scene for the general reader. He tells how a newspapers edi- torial staff is organized, how it operates, what constitutes g c. d newspaper work, what sort of equipment an aspirant for a re- porter's job should bring with him and what the schools of journalism are worth.
 His book Is breezy and informa- tive and 1t will give you an enter, taining glimpse at a fascinating field of work.
 Unfortunately, Mir Walker seems | to feel that when you have told about New York you have told about everything that matters. He also fails to do himself or anyone else justice in discussing recent efforts by newspapermen to organ ize for the improvement of their status.

Selected Poem
NOVEMBER NIGHT.

George Fox Horne in The New York Times) The dead dahlias at moonfall time Hold sentinel siffly in the autumn eve; Shadows and ghosts pass over; Hurrying love and haunted lover Brushing the stalks with vagrant sleeve To start dry whispers where missiles hover So, brown one, it is no cryptic tale Finding you here with the gone; Soldier, you have slenderer hope to borrow Your dusty flesh, riding with sorrow The winds today of Montfaucon, Than these gaunt stems to bloom again tomorrow We have an easness with grief, Som ourn you well tonight when tears are
 fashion:
 Oh, but your wounds were deathly pain That stung but once, nor came to burn again, While all your years abet passion Like summers heat, resurgent after rain. will you return to peace, the stilly Loveliness of Montfaucon tonight? And have you grant forever to return Where grief an age ago, and hate and stern Remorseless suffering. brought eternal quiet Where no man cries, hungers burn?

other cities it was about the same.
 Farmers psychology toward these checks is not very analy- tical. They don't dig very deeply into the ways and wherefore of receiving them. In general, however, they are for crop re- striction.
 This is tremendously import ant. The kidding that was poke6 at Henry Wallace, his profess lessened considerably. Henry is still regarded as to theoretical. but the farmers have decided to go along on the question of crop restriction.
 "Aftcr all,' they say, "alI the big manufacturers do 1t, why shouldn't we"
 CORN BELT
 Cessation of gover m t checks in the corn belt will turn a large strata sour on Roose-' welt. There is no doubt about that. But at the same time lot of questions are raised as to where the money is going to come from.
 Government spending, it is recognized, Is a shot in the arm. It's hard to give up and yet 1t can't go on forever.
 Already merchants are won dering what business will be like after the farmers have spent their checks. Is there is to be one months spending around election time and then a long, dreary winter of no spending?
 That is what is worrying the corn belt. And this is going to be the chief factor on which New Deal success will be gauged in the future. MT Roose- welt and Henry Wallace h ve hold of something which is go- ing to be hard to turn loose. MIDWEST MERRYGO-ROUND
 For the first time in years the Ku klux Klan has reared its head in Nebraska. Reason Is the religious issue which was in- jected into the recent campaign chiefly because of t h C stranglehold on state jobs held by democratic-Cathol cohorts of State Boss Arthur Mullen. Arthur runs the state as Jim Farley runs the democratic na- tional committee. Not only is Mullen a deyout Catholic, but so also the the nucleus of the old democratic party in Nebraska. Mullen brought about the appointment of the federal cir cult judge and federal district judge and virtually all the jobs in the state. In St Paul, the best loved and respected cit izen is Frank B. Kellogg. The former secretary of state, now nearly eighty, has learned h e knack of growing old graciously. He still has much of his old vim and vigor. .. Henry Wal lace is least popular in Sioux City where they claim that he favors Des Moines.-his home and the western part of Iowa. ... People out here will tell you that the drought was not nCdIly do od0 Ao ACPSASSN SIS SH> east. South Dakota was the worst hit, thirty. to forty per cent of its population still being on relief rolls. ;. At Sioux City the Missouri river Is a mere ribbon of water between great gaping banks of mud and river grass. Indicative of radical and conservative opinion ii Minneapolis is the fact that the Minneapolis Star has made a big gain in circulation merely by printing the campaign speeches of the farmer-labor candidates. The two opposition papers = both conservative re- publican-did not carry them.

so, where is the money coming from?
 ?. Is Roosevelt going to continue strict regulation of big business? Or is he as in dicated by his speech before the American Bankers assO- ciation-now out for a honey moon between the New Deal and big business?
 In other words is the adminis- tration swinging to the right or to the left?
 Upon the answer to these questions will depend the atti- tude of the midwest when it ballots on the Roosevelt ad- ministration two years hence.
 And unless conditions change in the interim, it will swing not to any particular party liable, but to the side which holds out the sincerest promise of conS tinued new deal.
 GOVERNMENT SPENDING
 The influence of government spending Tn this picture, there fore, cannot be overemphasized. It had important effect on the Roosevelt landslide.
 In the first place, EZRA pay ments had been made through this area especially the drought states all summer. Then just before elections, came swarm of corn and hog checks.
 Business frightened over night. Farmers flooded the cit ies. Retail business in Omaha increased thirty percent. In

Massachusetts is the next New England state to fall in line with those that have adopted pari-mutuel legalized betting on horse races. In fact the Bay State in sev eral counties has gone so far as to per- init betting on dog races. Connecticut, judging by the present legislative lineup, may be the next to go in for this sport, called, it is not, the sport of kings. For the last few sessions of the Legislature there have been efforts made to push through bills legalizing betting on horse racing. All failed. We wouldn't be sur prised that if the 1885 attempt might be linked with the tax revision bill. It cer- tainly is a revenue producer where the state controls the betting and also draws a good tax from the tracks, Connecticut can't afford to be too narrow minded or prudish in this respect. More about this later.

Bridgeport may not be able to change the name of North avenue after all. Resi- dents wanted the more historic name ot Kings Highway restored in anticipation of the 3COth anniversary of the state in 1885. So many businesses now using the North avenue name would be affected that it is quite likely the change will be ruled out. Why not historic markers along the street indicating it was once an historic colonial highway?

Improvement of Stamford harbor is in- dicated in report from the engineering bureau of the War Department at Wash ington. The report, however, fails to mention construction of breakwater which has been urgently demanded by the Fairfield county city. The improvement should be of considerable importance to the city's future growth. It is certainly encouraging to find out Sound cities with harbor facilities making the most of them and securing all available government aid when it is obvious that their development simply depends upon that.

Cost Of Car Thefts

The cost of insuring a certain type of automobile for fire and theft, with cov craze of $500, says the Kansas City Star, is S8.75 in St Louis and $28.25 in Kansas City. The difference, $19.50, is the price that car owners in the smaller city have to pay for the prevalence of local auto steal ing. The contrast holds lesson for all cities and all car-owners.
 St Louis has police department famous for it's efficiency. The Kansas City police department, according to the Star is not large enough to do all that it should do for city of that area and population. But that is not the whole explanation. It has been accused of fragrant tolerance of crime. ?.
 "Fences" where stolen cars and acces- sories are disposed of are permitted to continue their business unmolested, although "most of them are we'll known" Some insurance companies prosecute car thieves, but others figure that it costs less in specific cases to pay the loss and let the prosecution go by default. That is a shortsighted policy. A few vigorous and successfully prosecuted cases against the thieves would reduce the number of thefts and consequently the losses of thefts.
 There is still another factor which should be stressed. The public itself shows a surprising apathy toward prose cution of thieves. Too many car owners are satisfied merely to get their insurance money. They feel no social responsibility to end the racket. It is curious how re- spectable and law-abiding citizens would rather pay tribute to crime in this way than take the trouble to secure adequate police protection and prompt and effec- tive prosecution of criminals.
