A Book a Day
Get aBck To Earth With Good Poetry
BY BRUCE CAPTION

One of tho most encouragIng cultural signs of the day is the very appereIabie amount of good poetry that Is boinR wilton by what you might cali local poets. By that term 1 mean poets who stay close to the soil and writc verso about things they sec and know with their own senses, and who ignore tho high priced verbi- age of those who write weightily about modern trends In poetry. A good example of the kind if thing I am talking about is to. Do found in"WIld Pasture Pine" q hook of verse by W. W. Christi man.
 Mr christman was born on an upstate Now York farm and has iivod there oil his life. His formal schooling has boon meager---a few terms in his littue rod sehooihouso | Of tradition.
 But ho has soaked himself in . sincere love of nature. he is koeniy aware of tho life that goes on about him, and he has taken tho pains to master tho merchants of his craft.
 Tho result Is c book Of verse which is fneiodious and sincere. ft breathes Q kinship with tho forces | of nature--sturdy treos, wild things In the woods, rich fields under tho suniight.--and it ig buttressed with honest craftsmanship. Some Of it ig in traditional rhymo and meter, and some Of 1t is verg iibrc; in each case it is good. Here, in short, Is sturdy and competent nature literature in the tradition ofT'horeau and Burroughs. Argus Press of Albany, N. Y:

they'd ba apt to have fine row trying to settle on the best way of attaining them. Nevertheless, it is fine thing to have this very general goal set up as an objective.
 This kind of security is exactly the sort of thing that led most of our ancestors to come to the new world in the first place. They were under economic pressure in Eu- rope; they felt themselves to be at the mercy of forces that they could never con. trol; over here, in new land, they hoped that they could construct a society in which human beings could have less fear of hardship, of poverty, and of hunger.
 The belief in that dream has been re- sponsible for most of the optimism which is so typical of the American spirit. We have felt, for more than century, that we were somehow building society here in which the common man would get better break than he ever got elsewhere.
 Seeking to protect the common man against unemployment, against accidents. and against the traditional penury of old age, and trying to guarantee that he shall have decent home to live in-what IS this but an effort to make the old Ameri- can dream come true?
 For the next decade, at least we shall be arguing about the best way of doing this. Maybe we'll try MT Roosevelts way and maybe we'll try somebody else's. But there can be little doubt that in one way or another we shall do our utmost to make the dream come true.

Horse Sense In Relief

Someone in the Federal Emergency Relief Administration had the courage and imagination to combine three concepts into an agency for relief that promises to take first rank among aids to the jobless. This keen-minded person saw an empty factory, pile of over-produced foodstuffs and cotton, and an able-bodied man who lacked food and clothing and work. The combination suggested the simple process of admitting the man into the factory to go to work on the raw material and fill his own needs.
 So the government is being asked for an appropriation of $1,178,543,393 to be used to reopen thousands of closed plants and equip them to manufacture wearing apparel and canned goods. The output will be distributed among the workers and millions whomillions who are on relief rolls. All products are to be kept off the open market. Surpluses in a textile in- dustry will be exchanged for those of canned goods plant and so on. The cries of Socialism" and Communism" that may be expected will scarcely disturb the digestion of the newly filled worker.

Americas Old Dream

Just how far the fall congressional elec- tions will turn into national referendum on Mr Roosevelt's new program for social security is a matter for the political wise. acres to forecast. At this distance, how ever, two things seem more or less evi. dent. First, the argument is likely to be over the way of reaching this goal, rather than over the wisdom of trying to reach 1t at all. Second, the tentatively outlined program looks very much like a simple extension of the oldest and most tera- ciously held dream in American life. Se- curity for the individual in America, as Mir Roosevelt sees it, seems to cali for three things: Productive employment, protection against misfortune, and proper housing.
 Over the details of this program there is room for vast argument; over the way of putting 1t into effect there is even more. The most conservative of capitalists and the reddest of radicals could endorse these general aims in complete accord, but

Finish The Job

It is quite apparent to state officials and those interested in the welfare of our state institutions that the solution of the overcrowding problem at Middletown and Norwich state hospitals can only be solved by the construction of additional units at the new Fairfield county hospital in New. town. Only one unit has been erected there. It accommodates 800 patients. There are many more than this number being cared for in the other two hospitals in excess of their normal capacities.
 Waiting lists at both of them are ex- tremely long Conditions are so bad that even the heads of the institutions have car ried their pleas for relief to the public. Efficiency can never be attained While overcrowded conditions prevail, particu- lariy at this type of institution. Our state officials should realize this and make the proper allowance It was in- tended that the Fairfield county hosplta would take care of the overflow at Mid dletown and Norwich. That 1t has failed to do so is conclusive proof that we have not caught up yet with our institutional needs.
 In April of this year Dr. R. L. Leak, superintendent of the Middletown hospital, stated there was 30 per cent overcrowd. ing at his institution. He further pointed out that since 1895 only one new building had been erected at Middletown. This means that not merely is there lack Of room there for the number of patients committed, but that the modern treatment which should be made available must be cramped by the style of architecture, lay. out of facilities, etc. In view of this fact it behooves the state to lay much stress on the expansion of the Newtown hos- ptal which meets tho requirements of this day and age, save in the number of pa. tients 1t can treat. That is a matter rec tified by legislative approval and the necessary financing.

Washington, June 2o.--There is 0 serious, as well as Q light side to the presidents trip.
 His first objective is oom- plato relaxation from the terrific strain of tho past 1b months. This he hopes to find on tho high soas on route to Hawai-.
 But whom early In August tae president disembarks on the Pa cific coast he plans to uso tho journey homo for other than sightseeing purposes.
 In prepared speeches, at care. fully selected points along the route, he will place the issue of the New Deal Bquarely before the country. A two.fOld pur. pose underlios this strategy:
 1. A bold offensive against the challenge of tho old Deal by emphasizing reform meas ures which tho administration proposes to sponsor at the next session of Congress.
 T. A vigorous drive for tho election of c New Deal Con- grcss---ash distinguished from a partisan b0dy--to enable the president to pass his proclaimed program.
 FOUR MAJOR SPEECHES
 There will Do at least four maJor addresses during tho trip.
 one will Do on the Pacific coast. Another at Fort Peek, Montana, in tho heart Of the in- tcr.fnountain region. Others will be in the Twin Cities, In Minnesota. and at Green Bay, Wisconsin.
 Tho president will talk on governmental development of national water power projects, old ago pensions, unemployment insurance, labor legislation and inland watorways--with particu- lar reference to the St Law ronce oceanway, rejected last session but to be revived next year.
 The president will not talk politics.
 Local candidates and political oschewed. Any of tho "boys' along tho routo who may Do hoping for q presidential "hand up" arc in for Q bitter disap- pointment. Roosevelt will stick to national Issues.

The Meeting Place

Democrats of Connecticut are once more pondering on the question of where they will have their state convention in September. According to current reports t will be held in New Haven this year. As long as we caS remember democrats have been holding these conventions in either New Haven or Hartford. True the last two gatherings were held in New London. Through some strange coinci- dence or because somebody insisted upon 1t the Whaling Town got the honor.
 Once upon time there was quite bit of skirmishing to decide political con- vention city. When the national conven- tions of the two major parties are held. there is always much ado about where they will congregate. A national conven- ton is a good advertisement for the lucky city, as well as meaning considerable ex- tra revenue during the period of the con- vention. And in the case of the demo- cratic party the convention is quite apt to run into week or more.
 A state convention, particularly in Connecticut, is quite different. It is of two days duration only. The delegates to 1t are not very many, comparatively speaking. It means little or nothing to the businessmen of the town that political convention is being held there. It even rarely Gin these days) results in extra bus. iness for hotels. Most of the delegates, off, ficials, and visitors commute to and from the scene for each days proceedings.
 We might advance claim for Water bury in regard to the state convention, but it's one honor that we are not clamor- ing for right now We're willing to stand by and let Hartford and New Haven vie for the honors if New London is definite ly out of the picture. Personally we should think the shore town would meet with the most favor. It has all the nec- essary facilities right under one roof, as J. Francis Smith of Waterbury, secretary of the state central committee, stated this week. That's distinct advantage. But we're more concerned over ticket makeup this year than convention sites.

 LEGION BATTLE
 Inner circles of the AmerI- can Legion are churnlng with undorcovcr maneuverlng over choices for national comman- dor.
 The annual convention is scheduled for october. But most of the state conventions, at which delegates to tho national meeting are chosen, take place In July. So "vcC' politic0s are at 1t, hammer and tongs.
 This years battle centers around an attempt by q reform element to rid Legion inner councils of the dominance of the "king Malcrs".
 This is q small faction which has controlled election of ma. ti0nal commanders almost from the origin of the Legion. It's leaders are Mark Mckee, Michi. gan; Phil Collins, Chicago; and Hanford McNIdor, Iowa.
 McIxec's name figured prom. lncntly in the recent grand jury Investigation into army motor purchasing methods.
 Collins was c candidate for tho republican national chairman ship at tho Chicago oonfab last month.

There can be no doubt now that Presl- dent Roosevelt is vitally interested in the election of two republicans, if you can call them that, in the fall polling. In fact by the time November rolls around the na- ton may be greeted by the spectacle of democratic administration throwing its full strength behind their candidacies We know for fact that democrats are being discouraged from running against two in particular. They are Senators Robert LaFollette of Wisconsin and Bronson Cutting of New Mexico. Both were loyal Roosevelt supporters in 1882 and have maintained their allegiance throughout the first two years of his regime. It is only natural for the president to expect to do something for them. It remains question, though, whether this should take the form of support in their campaigns for election or in some other way There are demo. crats aplenty who regard 1t as quite un. orthodox for democratic administration to ask democrats to step aside so that republican opponents may be elected True these opponents aren't real republicans as we understand the term. They are lib- erals, progressives. In fact, they are the same calibre as Roosevelt himself, save that he adheres to the democratic fold.

A New York alderman would put peo- pie receiving relief funds, but not per- forming any services in return to work cleaning up the streets in their neighbor- hood. This, he maintains, would remove the name of dole from the particular type of relief they receive It's not bad scheme. That's almost what we are doing in this city with Mutual Aid funds. We use them to pay for labor performed in certain sections where new roads are re. quired; in repairing other roads; in beau- tlfying roadsides; and in diverse other tasks that call for expenditure of much labor but little in the way of materials. In this way the bulk of the relief money actually goes to the laborer and his fam. fly, which is as it should be.
