In Retrospect

We fail to recall in recent years cam paign that has been waged as hotly and vigorously as the one through which we have just passed and which the voters ot Connecticut are deciding today. Regardless of the outcome both major parties can feel that they have given their best efforFs to furthering the candidates of their sev- eral office seekers and in bringing before the public the pertinent issues of the day.
 From democratic viewpoint we of Wa terbury must feel considerable pride in the manner in which the campaign of that Larty has been waged. It has been dl- rected by J. Francis Smith, chairman ot the Democratic State Central Committee. Elected to that office immediately at the conclusion of the state convention ln Sep tember he gave to his new d-ties the wh, 'n-hearted and serious attention that Jaey dem snded.
 Eatafbar. should feel rather honored eSI s s5ns1.e, JUS manner in which he has ceR red atCention upon his party and it's candida tQs If he is successful Tn hls first year in leading his party to victory he will have achieved something that most people would have believed impossible II his party is defeated he still will be round lv congratulated for the more than SploIlQlQ ellOII tIldC lle put 1oI el A-iH'~iAA-S to his final appeal to the electorate over the radio Sunday night we could not help but feel that to ignore the advice that he advanced in his well-built up arguments would be retrogression and not progress for Connecticut.
 By the time this article is read in many homes the votes will be counted in Water bury and other communities in the state Perhaps the final result will be known or can be deducted. We still would feel obliged to say that in the democratic par tvs leadership only can Connecticut hope to free herself from the domination ot the interests that eventually hope to own not merely the water rights, but every other right that is ours through heritage. The prospect is not pleasant one We trust the vote to-day was repudiation ot it.

A Book a Day
Lawrence's Widow Tells Of His Life
BY BRUCE CAPTION

Activities of the women who tagged around after the late D. H. Lawrence make dreary and grotesque tale;, and the trouble is that all of them insist on telling it. The result has been some ex- ceedingly odd books, in which any number of females have basked in the reflected glory of a great writer.
 Now, however, after all the rest have had their say, the mans widow has hers. Freda Lawrence tells, her story in Not l, But the Wind,o and it is valuable and revealing book.
 For this lady is concerned with giving the world some new infor- mation about a great literary man, and not with telling about herself. She tells of Lawrence's courtship how this almost penniless Eng lishman captivated her, daughter of the German nobility. induced her to leave husband and children for him, took her through poverty, social ostracism, and great deal of suffering and. homehow. made 1t worth infinitely more than 1t ever cost her-and her account Is a very fine portrait of him.
 If there ever was genius who was tortured by his own genius, 1t seems to have been Lawrence. It made him great and it made him miserable, as genius frequently does; reading this book, one gets d new realization of the travail of spirit out of which literature is born-and, also, a new understand ing of the uncompromising honesty with which Lawrence devoted him. self to his. work.
 It is, all in all. an exceptional book. Published by Viking, 1t sells for SAYS.

Rome Letter
BY THOMAS B. MORGAN. United Press Stan Correspondent

Rome-(UP) An ancient Ro- man road in the A1ban hills that was in use before the Via Appia and the earlier Via Latina were built will be re-opened within a few months, the government re- gently announced. The road was built between 312 and 297 B. c. and only fell into disuse and was abandoned when stage-coaches went out of existence.
 The road, one of the earliest, Is of great historical importance since it originally led from Cas- tromonium. the modern Marine. to the famous glen where the Lucas Ferentinae, meeting place of the Latin league, after the destruc- tion of Alba. was situated.
 Rebuilding Nearly Completed. | Its re-opening was decided and planned by the Provincial Admin istration of Rome and will involve an expenditure of four million lire. Most of, it is now being rebuilt and extensive engineering works are required.
 Traces of this road survived the wear and tear of centuries, but most of 1t had disappeared. It was covered by trees and dense undergrowth above the lakes of Albano and Nemi. On open ground the road was replaced by cattle paths.
 The original road, in the times of the Romans, after crossing the forests on the hills above the lakes, reached the Volscian town of Velitrae, the modern velletri. It was connected with tile Via Triumphalis which led to the sum init of Monte Cavo-the Alban mountain of where the temple of Jupiter Latiaris was situated. Mountain For Sacrifices. It will be recalled that it was on this mountain that the victorious Roman generals went to offer sa- crifices after their triumphs.
 Like many other Roman roads. 1t continued to be used until less than a hundred years ago as it afforded a short cut for the stage coaches between Rome and Naples Tand was preferred to the Appiap Way. It was known as the .cor- riera di Napoh," or Naples high road, although, as matter of fact, 1t was only a small portion of that highway and not longer than eleven miles

 The inevitable result of this, of course, would be to create more unemployed, who In turn would join EPIC resulting in still further loss to industry, and so on and on until the whole industrial structure would SC bankrupt.
 Ohio's plan avoids this des- tructive circle.
 It does not insulate the unem- ployed in a separate economy. Under the Buckeye formula money spent for relief is not af- fected by what the unemployed produce.
 The dozen idle factories leased by the state, and manned by un- employed, produce certain goods and edibles which are used to supplement the relief extended to the workless. Cash relief re- mains the same.
 Furthermore, the state is un- der specific pledge that if fac- tory can be returned to profit able private manufacture, it is given back. Also, if a leased fac tory worker declines job from a private employer, he is dis charged from the state-operated plant.

Selected Poem
DREAM BOAT PASSENGER

(Maze V. Caruthers in The New York Times) Little boat with dark orange sails Skimming the twilight Purple and mauve in the growing dusk Ship aboard your passenger, Over the darkng rim of the world Half moon hangs in the hollow air The first faint star appears in the blue. Carry me far! 3
 Let your orange wings Lift to the breeze till slowly drift Into the Land of Nod-for there Slumber awaits!
 And, if in my sleep Frightening nightmares harass and fret, et Dakku eater of dreams, will sit Close by my bed and feed such dreams, So 1 may rest until the day break, Then, on the azure waves of the dawn Over the rim of aking world I shall return to tho Land of Here And thew orkaday cares of busy life, Carrying still in my tranquil heart The drowsy calm of the of dreams, And the quiet born of a long nights sleep!

That's good news to be sure We'd like to see Connec- ticut come to the fore as a producer of much poultry We're surprised that eff forts haven't been made before this to capitalize on the excellent opportunity to make Connecticut the foremost of the eastern states in production of turkeys, chickens, ducks, and other fowl that find a place on the market list.

JOHNSON MAY END
ALABAMA STRIFE
Coal Operators Promised
Action, as N. R. A. Head
Is Due in Capital.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The return today of Administrator
Hugh S. johnson from a vacation was
awaited by Alabama coal operators.
who anticipated immediate action by
the N. r. A. chief to restore peace to
the Alabama mines. where 1000
workers were on strike.
The miners walked out in protest
against resistance by the operators to
an N. r. A. order substantially rails
ing wages and reducing working hours
in their area.
Johnson was expected to return to-
day from White Sulphur Springs,
where he has been resting several
days. He has familiarized himself
with the Alabama situation through
a special report dispatched to him at
White Sulphur Springs by the N r.
A. division of research and planning
President Promises Action.
President Roosevelt has promised
immediate action to compose the
grievances.
The operators, in numerous ap-
pearances before N. r. A. during the
last 10 days. have maintained the
wage hike. against enforcement of
which they have obtained a Federal
court restraining order, would wipe
out the differential between Southern
and Northern coal fields and bring
destruction to the Alabama industry
They have blamed certain Northern
pnol irtereStc initiofipo tho uaCo
increase which was larger for Alabama
than any other area. and have cited
the competitive conditions under
which they work
Hearing Delay Sought.
Meanwhile. at the request of N. r.
A., the Justice Department agreed to
ask Judge c. B. Kennemer at Mont
gomery, Ala. to postpone until next
Monday hearing set for tomorrow on
continuation of the Federal order re-
straining enforcement of the wage
mandate. The court order will remain
in effect until Monday.
The request by N r. A. was inter-
preted by the operators as giving hope
Gen. johnson will compose the
troubles and preclude further court
action.
AS reports reached Washington that
tension grew apace in the Alabama
coal fields where 81 900 miners were
on strike, it was understood the Presi-
dent has assured Gov. Miller of Ala
bama by wire that N. r. A. action
will be forthcoming Immediately.

CANNON RESUMES
D. c. BILL CHARGE
Relieves BIanton After Re-
covery From Recent
Auto Accident.

Completely recovered from injuries
received in a recent automobile acci-
dent, Representative Cannon, Demo-
crat, of Missouri returned to the
House today to take charge of the
1885 District appropriation bill, now
being debated on the floor.
Cannon. chairman of the Subcom-
mittee on Appropriations which
framed the measure, relieved Repre-
sentative Blanton, Democrat, of Texas,
of the job, Of plotting it through the
House. Blanton reported the bill in
Cannon's absence and called it up for
consideration.
Blanton said he was pleased to be
relieved of the job because he wanted
Cannon to get all the credit for the
bills passage.
General debate on the measure
will continue throughout the day,
and tomorrow it will be considered
under the five-minute rule. At that
time. a score or more amendments
are expected to be offered.
Representative Otter, Republican,
of Pennsylvania, announced he would
OdIer at ledSC QOZel amendments 10
provide funds for urgently needed
public Improvements not provided in
the bill He also will raise a point
of order against a legislative pro-
vision making mandatory a 30-cent
reduction in the tax rate in the COM
ing fiscal year.
Otter does not believe District tax
payers want a cut in the levy at the
sacrifice of necessary public improve
ments He pointed out the proposed
reduction from $150 to $l20 would
reduce the Districts tax revenues by
S3,600,000 in the coming fiscal year
and preclude some of the projects the
Commissioners are anxious to carry
out
Otter will seek in his amendments
to increase the appropriation for
public schools and the Public Utilities
Commission. He will make a stren-
uous fight to have restored a 40 per
cent cut in the salary items of the
commission, in view of the statement
of Riley E. Elgen, acting chairman,
that the reduction would cripple the
commission and make impotent its
activities.

Secretary Ickes yesterday expressed

would receive the benefit of the S
per cent pay restoration as other Fed

While uncertain whether this can

administrator said he has been SPEND
ing much time trying to protect the

A good deal of confusion exists, he
