Washington.-All Is far from har-

so-called intermediate credit bank Dill.
1t appears that the President, In ad-
vocating this new plan for long time
loans by new government banks, or by
the government banks In cooperation
with regular commercial banks, nus
again trampled on the toes OF Senator
Carter Glass of Virginia. 1t may De
the tenth or the fifteenth time now

1t just happened that Glass was not
there. Maybe he was afraid he Wouiu

easily. and he knows 1t. or course It
may have been that other important
business required his attention. But
none OF his old friends on Capitol
Hill remember any other business

some one was proposing to tamper

has always regarded that as his raw
orite brain child. A claim, by the way,
which has since proved very annoying
to some other gentlemen, including
Senator Robert L. Owen, who think
they had more to do with writing that
famous measure than Glass or anyone
else
But Glass has this big advantage
over Owen and other Would-be claim
ants. He Is In the senate now, and an
important figure on the banking and
currency committee. He was chairman
of the same committee In the house
when the original bill passed. early
In 1914. But Senator Owen Is out OF
the picture. Moreover, Glass has at
his right hand, on the committee to-
day, Senator Robert ]. Bulkley or
Ohio, who, 1t so happens, was his
right bower on the house committee
20 years ago. And Buckley freely &C
knowledges Glass paternity OF the

any such backing as that.

Strangely enough, both of them for

was just two votes shy as far as Flor

Down In his heart, Fletcher has con-

Controls Senate

Not even a tidal wave next autumn
would shake loose President Koose-
velt's grip on the United States SEN
ate, despite all the talk about insurg-
ency and rebellion against the New
Deal. In fact the extreme probability
is that the New Deal group, irrespec-
tive OF party lines, will be stronger
after those elections than 1t Is now.
AT the present moment the senate
Is composed OF GO Democrats, 80 who
wear the Republican label, though
many OF them are New Dealers and
one Farmer LaborIte, Henrik Ship
stead of Minnesota, who Is also New
i Deal
The most certain change, as the
view is surveyed at this time, Is that
some Democrat will defeat Phillips
Lee Goldsborough, old line Repubh-
can. in Maryland. Governor Richie
may do 1t himself. No one familiar
with Maryland politics holds any
thought of Goldsborough's succeed
Ing himself. But 1t Is quite likely
that the Democrat will be Of the con-
servatiye variety.

Another Chapter

It must have been extremely gratifying to Dr Stephen J. Maher, eminent chair man of the state tuberculosis commission, to announce this week that the new chtl- dren's tubercular sanatorium at Water ford was completed and occupied by the 59 inmates of the old institution. A de- cidedly forward step in Connectlcuts fight against the dread disease of tuber- culosis is made in this announcement Connecticut surely must be leading all other states in the work being done for sufferers from the disease. But that IS easy to understand. We thave Dr Maher as supreme director of our activities along these lines. He is the acknowledged leader in this field of medical work in the United States, we should say.
 The new Seaside Sanatorium Is every thing that the state commission has planned for years. Although not built upon the site of the old building, which was the first one utilized solely for treat ment and housing of children from 2 to 12 years of age for the treatment of bone and glandular tuberculosis, it is situated as advantageously and possesses in addl- tion the modern touch - complete sun cure, as Dr Maher describes it. There IS an interesting story written around thls sanatorium. It is one that will figure Ill 2ny nlSLOTy Ol IHe SloIe.
 Some years ago it was realized that Seaside had outgrown it's quarters. The state had taken over an old wooden sum- mer hotel for the sanatorium and made 1t into an excellent one. The added advan- tages of fine stretch of shore frontage with nothing to cut off full sunlight throughout the day added to the attrac- tive features. The day came when eX- pansion was absolutely necessary. A new building was demanded to replace the ramshackle fire-trap. The commission attempted to purchase adjoining land from the McCook estate. A certain frontage was offered not sufficient to the plans of the commission for ex- pansion.
 Negotiations ultimately failed and the Legislature authorized condemnation proceedings. Court action followed and ultimately the heirs to the McCook estate won a Supreme Court decision invalidat- ing the legislative action on the ground that the bill had not been signed by the then governor within the legal period ot time This decision invalidated at least 1,5OO other state laws and necessltated a special session of the General Assembly. The plan to widen the state property at Mantle, where the old sanatorium stood, ultimately failed The state turned to nearby Waterford and found something equally as good in the way of shore prop erty. It is there the new sanatorium was built. It is there the battle against the dread disease will be continued, so that boys and girls may grow up to be healthy citizens,

We Face a Warning

An excellent textbook for anyone puzzled by the tragic turmoil which sweeps Europe these days might be Car lyle's "French Revolution" To be sure, Carlyle wrote it something like 100 years ago. But it isn't out of date, even so. For the same lesson which he drew from hls study of the French Revolution can be drawn from the confused and bloody mess in Europe today.
 The French Revolution had many causes and many effects and 1t was ac- companied by some very horrible happen ings; but it illustrated, said Carlyle, one great truth - that lie cannot endure forever. It showed in other words, that if men get their affairs into hopelessly unsound and unjust tangle, and fail to muster the intelligence and the unselflsh- ness necessary to straighten them out, forces beyond human control eventually will break loose in kind of explosion, an explosion which destroys good and pad things alike and visits catastrophe upon saint as we'll as upon sinner.
 All of this, somehow, seems to apply with terrible force to the upheaval which today rends Europe. These riots Tn France and Austria these rumors ot war and revolution, this massing of troops along boundary lines - they didn't nap pen just because men suddenly got per verse and irritable over nothing. They came, just as the French Revolution came because human affairs had got into dreadful mess, and because great masses of people became convinced that nothing but violence ever would straighten them out.
 The supreme folly of the World War, the almost equal folly of the peace treat ies. the stubborn inability of men in high places to see that repression and injustice never can pave the way for anything but trouble - these are the direct and logical causes of the present disasters. There still is time to avoid the worst consequences: Treaty revisions, removal of the artificial economic barrier which condemn men to starvation in the midst of plenty, liquida- tion of oppressive Relationships and re. arrangement along equitable lines of national boundaries, would make possible a peaceable solution of Europe's troubles But if the rulers of Europe lack the cour- age and the vision to apply such measures. one only can remember Carlyes warning

Kow YOUR WATERBURY

Thomas Clark recorded the first formal layout of a road from the Pennington road to Willow street. It is said that the first money paid by the town of Waterbury for land covering the highway was to Isaac Castle who had gone to Northbury (Thomaston) to live.
 The year 1762 showed about twenty highways laid out and re- surveyed in a single neighborhood. The county road to New Haven was re-surveyed in 1765, and in 1776 the proprietors and the town se- lected a committee on the re-sur- vey work on the Woodbury high way. The surveys had previously been started in this direction at the top of West Side Hill, but on this occasion 1t was begun at Andrew Bronson's corner.

It's Still a Bludgeon

There are all sorts of loopholes being shown now whereby the amendment to the Treasury-Post Office appropriation meas ure, proposed by Senator Lonergan thls week, will be rendered null and void. The obvious intent of the democratic senator from Connecticut is not so much to take away federal appointment already made in this state, as to command for himself the proper prestige and the necessary amount of patronage control that any democratic senator should boast in re- publican state.
 We say that the appointments already made may not be upset. That is purely comment, of course. We have no reason for saying it other than that it is bit unusual to find the Presidents appoint ments being changed around even at the behest of U. s. Senator. However, there remains the fact that the appoint ments are still before Senator Lonergan as committee of one to act upon them. If he should pigeon-hole them, nothing would come of it. Therefore, he must either move for confirmation or rejection. That's drastic action and would be taken only after much consultation with high officials at Washington and in Connec- ticut.
 Still the fact cannot be gainsaid but that Senator Lonergan is asserting him. self as he should. He apparently was given no consideration in the naming of any of the three federal appointees i'll Connecticut. That he may be given his choice of some one of the three is almost indicated by the fact that Postmaster General Farley and Attorney General Cummings have been in conference with Senator Lonergan this week. There can only be one deduction made from this visit. It's to do with Connecticut patron age. And the answer offhand would be that Senator Lonergan is now being con- suited He's got backing, too, in the Sen- ate and that may count for more than mere promises.
