advice, we know how hard it is to
follow it without worrying about
loss of pay or loss Of the job, or
how to pay for the necessary rest.
These worries alone can hold up
prompt recovery from an illness or
operation. Compare this with the
same situation in the Soviet Union
where worry about keeping the job
never comes up anil the STATE takes
care of the period of convalesense
of its workers, sending them away
for the proper rest in the best sur
roundings for this purpose, and p9v-
ing them during the period of =
forced leisure. That's something to
think about and work for, isn't it?

less to say, it failed of passage. It may never have been reported out of commit tee. We can see no leaning towards this form of taxation in Connecticut. The sales tax might secure sufficient backing to establish it in our present system. But 1t would only be at the expense of some other form of taxation. It isn't a question right now of adding to the average citi- zen's taxes. It's question of spreading them over wider base. Everyone admits that property is overtaxed. We must shift the burden.
 In shifting this burden it may only be from the right to the left shoulder, but that is usually regarded in political cir cles as progressive move. Our firm be- lief is that taxes, whether they are local, state or national must drop in the next few years This can be accomplished in several ways, but the most reliable is to reduce the cost of government. In itself this is no easy task. We're adding to our governmental agencies day by day. Sc long as we do that the people must expect to pay for whatever services these new departments supply.
 But right here in Connecticut the prob- lem is not as complex as it is down at Washington There are ways and means WHeIeDy LdAeS may pe SpIedu to CoVeI |" multitude of debts incurred by the state itself and the 169 towns and cities com prising it, not to mention our eight counties Elimination of the latter is said to be one way of cutting down on over- head. There are others. Perhaps when the special tax commission has finished it's survey it will include in it's recom- mendations some such plans for reducing governmental costs It's the most certain way of reducing taxes that we know of.

Life Into History

: History never gets really interesting . until it gets down from it's high stool, .. shuts up it's heavy ledgers, and starts tell . ing us about the little, unnoticed incidents . that high-light great occasions. For {. these little things are what give the great stories their true flavor. Among them .. there is the case of the mysterious monu- !. ment on the battlefield of Antictam. On this stretch of Maryland farmland was fought one of the great battles of the . Civil War. Lee, swinging back toward . Virginia after his first invasion of the north in 1862, made a stand behind Antle- : tam creek and met the onset of Mcclellan. 1. The fight is recorded as Union victory ; but the northern army was mangled so !. badly that, when Lee withdrew across the {. Potomac, no pursuit was made.
 . At any rate until few years ago, the . battlefield was studded with more than SO :. monuments commemorating the deeds ot
 various commands. All but one ot these < Confederate marker erected by the state !. of Maryland were Union monuments. : Then, one day, stranger appeared in the 1. adjacent town of Sharpsburg, inquiring where he could rent horse and wagon to ]. transport stone to the battlefield. And !. the next day there was found on the field new monument bearing tablet which ]. read: "Near this spot an abandoned Con- {. federate gun manned by second lieuten- ant of the Sixth Virginia infantry, Ma . hone's brigade, and two infantry volun- :. teers from Anderson's Georgia brigade, was placed in action September 17, 1862" ]: That's all! No one, to this day, knows who put the marker there; no one knows !. the names of the three southerners who, !. coming upon an abandoned field piece Tn .thc tumult of storm-swept field swung !. it's muzzle toward the enemy and served it. No one knows what happened to them, or how their action weighed in the final
 result, or whether the gun finally went
 back to Virginia with Lee or was captured z by McClellan's men. But the mysterious
 marker adds much to the story of the bat tile. It makes the affair cease to be
 history book tableau, for the moment; the
 smoke cloud lifts and we get glimpse ot
 . an unnoticed bit of heroism that lights up . the whole action. Stories like this make history real.

Much Ado About Nothing

Shakespeare was far more successful m his production of Much Ado About Noth- ing than the Leavenworth Street boys ever will be in their Midsummer Night /. Dream about the voting lists of Water bury. The latest episode in this drama !. of unflagging enthusiasm fo' working up . father to remove those first faint signs which indicate to the stripling the ap- proach of manhood is the formal request made upon Registrars of Voters Henry .O'Connor and Thomas F. Dilane for an inspection of certain records and lists, con- tained in their offices, by E. Robert Stew .enson, managing editor of the Republican and American.
 {. Of course, it's good policy to keep the public wondering if there are 4,O00 names Ion Waterbury's voting list that shouldn't be there. One way to do this is to demand that certain records be made public. If the request is refused, then the perfect innuendo may be made. Or better still the tongue may be placed in the left or right cheek, as the individual prefers, and a certain vocal utterance made that con- yeys the utter disbelief of him who de- mands the information. It's a pretty pantomime that is struck, but one in which the characters are placed in aWk- ward positions.
 It will require a court order to compel Messrs Dillane and O'Connor to reveal their records to the publisher, the editor or any other official of the Republican and American. That will be the next act in the play. Perhaps the order will be made by the court. Perhaps it will be denied. It is only the setting with which the arch enemies of the Hayes administration are actually concerned. They don't expect to find Waterbury's voting list crowded with 4,OOO names that shouldn't be on it nor to learn from registrars records that names are voted on illegally in tremend- ous numbers. Their idea is to discredit not to reveal. Every action must have a motive. This one is too clearly written to be mistaken.

Selected Poem
ILLUSIONS IN THE RAIN

I'm back in the house
 had built just for you; The furniture then
 Was so shiny and new. 1t gave back reflections
 Of what was to be, But I've found out since then
 That they weren't meant for me. The crib in the small room
 Is empty and bare; I reach for the small Ohe
 That's never been there. And seem to remember
 Our making 8 date; I rush through the door
 In hopes I'm not late. And walking alnog
 Through the gathering dawn the place where we used to
 meet
 It seems that hear In the distance quite clear
 The pat of your dainty feet But on nearing the place. I
 My heart seems to race At the thought of our meeting
 again
 And find that the beat Of those dainty feet
 Was just an illusion in the rain, My arms encircle an empty space A void no one can i'll; My heartbeats go on apace, Until they feel the thrill Of your sweet lips pressed close to mine And the~l my hoartbeats gain For. on release, find no peace5 Just illusions In the rain. 1T. p IL
