WAR INEVITABLY FOLLOWS THE PINNACLE OF PEACE PROPAGANDA

Waterbury Conn.
 June 8, 1885.
 Editor of The Democrat:
 There is very much interest at the present time in the advocacy of peace, and an alarming amount of interest in the preparation for war. that these conditions place a person's mind in a Quandary at the conflicting aspects. The major nations of the world are building their military forces as large as their financial conditions Will al. low, and through the. oratory Of their leaders .sinisterly propagate the rcctitude of peace. 1t seems as though the interest in the cause of peace reaches its pinnacle prior to fine start of every war. You will observe in the following excerpt that Il similar situation existed at the Virginia Convention in the wear 1T75 when that beloved pa triot, Patrick Henry, bravely said: "It is in vain Sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may crS, Peace! Peace!, but there is no Peace. The war is actually begun. The next gale that sweeps from the North will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms. Our brethern are already in. the field. Why stand we here idle? What is it that the gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it AL mighty God! I know not the caurse others may take but as for me: Give me Liberty, or give me Death." It is very evident from the gist of the above statement that there has always been many advocntes of peace. who have had the inalienable right to argue af- firmatively for tranquil relations, overlooking the inevitable courses that arouse the ire of the peoples af various nations and adhere tena- tiousIy to a very ridiculous slo- gan, Peace at any price.
 Sometimes, I admire sincere in- tercessionists and at other times I brand them as hopeless founder CTS, if they presuppose that Inter- national peace shall eyer. become a reality. However, there are some optimisis who offer potential pan- aceas especially well-known ra- dio aunouncer who writes: "If you ask mo. is's EoinE ts hs nrstts

Washington, June 11.-Among the political gentry, President Roosevelt is being credited with a master-stroke of strategy in handling the MIRA dilemma. Here is the way they appraise the situation:
 To begin with, the supreme court did Roosevelt a great ser vice by saving him from an al- most certain rupture with the senate over the Clark Resolution. This extended the MIRA for only ten months, while the president demanded twenty -four. He had won House Democratic leaders to his viewpoint and a knock down and -drag with the defiant seante seemed in evitable.
 Whereupon the supreme court consideraately eliminated this danger.
 The courts decision also paved the way for a major reelection campaign issue. This opportun- ity Roosevelt is exploiting to the utmost in his plan to continue the MIRA in skeleton form.
 Had he abandoned the Blue Eagle entirely, as some of his advisers counseled, it could and would have been construed as an acknowledgment of error and defeat.
 An Easy Out
 On the other hand, had he fol- lowed the course urged by other members of the official family and attempted to circumvent the court with a new MIRA, he would have found himself with a Pan-

hard for one people to get up a hate for another whose life, art and culture it has learned to ad- n,ire through shortwaye broad- casts. When it sees and hears from it's national parts daily in its own homes, the world is likely to get the idea that It is one big bro therhood. Fierce nationalism will crumble; and radio will do more to bring lasting peace to this cockeyed world than all the peace confer ences and disarmament confer ences put together" Perhaps through the medium of radio the worlds antagonisms might realize a tendency to become appeased, if the programs are of a caliber not to appeal in the negative.

 The underworld has gotten away with 2 lot of rackets in this land of the brave and the free.

The position of Internal Revenue Collee- tor in Connecticut is still thorn in the side of the democratic party. Officials at Washington refuse to act for some un- known reason. All of which may be good politics by not starting factional differ ences, but if an appointment is ever made the die might as well be cast now as later Thomas Smith of Hartford seems to be the leading candidate for the office with Peter Connerton of the same city and Augustus Lynch of Danbury also in the running We'd appoint collector and end the cast ing about for this office. Connecticut pat ronage is apt to prove snag in the tu- ture.

The Madison Beach colony is quite in- censed at removal of sea sand between high and low water marks at certain spot within the town limits. That brings to mind the bill passed by the Legislature just recently in which such removal was prohibited. The measure was proposed by Rep. John D. Thoms of this city, who made an unsuccessful attempt two years ago to have similar law passed. T nj s time he was more successful. It has be- come evident of recent years that many shore fronts have become endangered by removal of sand for commercial purposes. In the Madison case there is also the added claim that some of the sand was taken from land owned by the state. Water marks always provoke interesting litigation. This latest episode will prob ably prove no exception.

Stamping Out Crime

Nothing has given the nation more sat- isfaction with it's armed forces of justice than the arrests of the alleged kidnapers of Swear old George Weyerhaeuser. The record of the Department of Justice m trapping the men and women who have engaged in this form of crime of recent years is fine one. It is an impressive one. It proves conclusively that crime does not pay. And the fact that kidnapers continue to practice their nefarious doings does not lessen the fact that they are not getting away with it.
 Kidnaping is both brutal crime and a terrifying one. It often causes more than mere anxiety on the part of relatives and friends of the abducted person. 1t very often leads to the commission of other crimes, such as murder, whether it be the victim or the innocent bystander. We are very proud of the fact that the federal government is shaking an iron-clad fist over the persons who go in for kldnaplng. It is the only way to discourage those who might believe this the avenue to riches.
 Continued alertness and vigor in prose cution should mark the governments ac- tivities in this field. It is proof positive against the inroads of the criminal on organized society. We only wish that state and local authorities were as conscientious in their efforts to wipe out organized crime as is the federal government. This would be better world in which to live ii they were. We talk much of politics in our national government. At least we can find no fault with the results produced by the G-men.

Heart.Breaker

The last session of the senate hearings on the Central Bank bill was a heart-breaker for Sen ator Carter Glass.
 Through his power IS chair man of the subcommittee, con- sidering the measure, Glass had loaded the hearings with foes of the bill. And as wnirlwind finale he arranged what he thought would be m extra-im- pressiye shower of brickbats. He invited three members of the Federal Reserve Board-Charles S. Hamlin, J. J. Thomas and M. s. Szymczak--to present their views. .S. sass is'. .S pr. Adolph C.. Miller and George R. James, two other members of the Reserve Board, had criticized the bill when they appeared before the committee. Carter figured their three col- leagues would do likewise, thus enabling him to make the weighty point that the board was against the measure:
 But alack! The three men did not run true to form. They heartily endorsed the bill. <.
 Hamiin, who has been a mem Der of the Reserve Board since it's establishment, was particular ly emphatic in his contention that the bill should be passed. This attitude irritated Glass con- siderably. He leaped to the fray with a barrage of angry questions. ls.. .s4
 Hannlin was unmoved. He merely redoubled his enthusiasm for the legislation and took a slap at. Owen D. Young, Carter's prize witness, by charging that the electric power mogul was against the bill because, like most financiers, he is scared of changes-. ss v is Republican Court

Lieut.. Col. Joseph I. McMullen,
of the Judge Advocate Generals
Department of the Army, former
chief of the Patents Section of the
War Department, today launched
a court attack on the indictment
recently reported against him by
the District Grand Jury charging
him with illegal lobbying activities.
Through Attorneys William E.
Leahy and William j. Hughes, j .
Colonel McMullen asks the court
to quash the indictment on the
ground that the testimony used
by the Grand Jury was the same
that he gave the House Military
Affairs Committee in June. 1894,
under promise of immunity.
Colonel McMullen'S indictment
was based on a Federal statute
which makes it unlawful for a per-
son drawing a salary from the
Government to accept compensa-
ton from other sources for the
purpose of influencing legislation
in which the Government is in
tereSted.
It specifically charges that
Colonel McMullen drew an an
nual retainer from the Cuban
American MANGANESE CORPORATION
to influence tariff legislation.
