Hip, Hip, Hooray!

Scarcely was the ink dry on the an
nouncement of the full regular republican
ticket, selected by self-imposed steering
committee, which apparently has forgotten
all about those open caucuses" we read
so much about a couple of months ago,
then there appeared in the same issue OF
the American last night the incest little
bit of back patting seen here in many a
day.
If those papers-we say papers, because
the rejoicing that party is reborn was
re-echoed in the left wing of the Leaven-
worth street combination this morning
only waited twenty-four hours to get the
reaction to the promise of millennium,
say, long enought for someone to give three
hip hips and hooray. However, it looked
as if the editorials were written in ad-
vance of the news, kept on ice, so to speak,
for the occasion.
With all due respect to the candidates
selected or dragooned by the steering
committee weeks before the conventions,
we would say as whole they measure up
personally no better or no worse than
lot of republican tickets we can recall in
the past. They are all capable, if elected,
of carrying on, but nothing to call for
such outbursts of enthusiasm as was
emitted IrOH CHe COHlpllidtloH ioou
speakers last night and this morning.
AS we said, we can't see anything to
indicate that miracle might happen ii
John M. Burial is elected mayor. He
would conduct his office in as gentlemanly
q way as most of his predecessors have
before him. Should Frank Bailey be
elected controller doubtlessly the routine
of that department, well established now,
will continue on much in the same way.
Then does anyone feel in view of condl-
tions in general that Pasquale De Cicco
can do much more in the way of collecting
taxes? It's extremely doubtful. Stephen
j. Winston, for city clerk offers no i'm
provement over the present occupant by
way of training. And surely Mrs. Eliza
beth NJ Coe, as town clerk could not
improve upon the efficiency of Miss Dora
Egan.
So without going further, where is there
anything TO call for such promises OF full
fillment as The Leavenworth street COM
bination proclaims? There is no fault to
find personally with any of the candidates
selected, yet it is just another ticket
offered for the prediction of the voters,
which through circumstances, geographic
ally, or otherwise, happens to be seeking
endorsement from an electorate normally
democratic. The only trouble we can
find with the entire set-up is that it's
republican, which is somewhat in keeping
with the idea of the old popular ballad OF
q generation ago, cts in the right church,
but the wrong pew.

The neutrality bill passed by Congress is
step in the right direction-but only a
step. If we expect too much of it, we lay
ourselves open for an unpleasant surprise
some day. Probably the best way to see
how it would work in actual practice is to
20 back 20 years and imagine what would
have happened if it had been passed in
1915.
It's chief provision is ban on the ship
fnent of munitions to warning countries.
This would have had a very direct and
marked effect in 1915 and 1916. Millions
of the shells which burst along the Ger
man lines between Switzerland and the
North Sea were made in America; their
use had much to do with arousing German
resentment to the point where unrestricted
submarine warfare was declared. So ii
we had had this law in 1915, our chances
of getting embroiled would have been SUBJ
stantially lessened. 1t must be remem-
bered, also, that some of our great indus
trial concerns which found so many divi-
dends and jobs in the munitions trade
would have gone idle.
Next, the bill prevents american ships
from carrying embargoed articles to the
ports of warning nations, and forbids
Americans to travel on ships of belliger-
ents except at their own risk. This would
have saved us at least little of the SUBJ
marine warfare trouble; it might also
have pulled few of the teeth of the Lusi-
tania tragedy, although the emotional
shock of that affair would still have been
great.
The other Notwithstanding the use
of American ports to the submarines of
belligerents which made illegal use of the
American flag - would have been of
minor consequence. SO much for what
the law would have done for us in the
World War. Now for what it would not
have done.
It would not have kept as from selling
millions upon millions of dollars worth OF
wheat, oil, autos, beef, copper. cotton, steel
and similar commodities TO the allies, nor

Archbishop Murray could hardly
be expected to meet Mrs. Sanger
face to face. The high post which
he holds forbids him to go into de-
tail when discussing the rights Of
the unborn. Had he forgotten his
claim to the respect Of clean.

to the vulgar forum, he should

has to say about the unborn.
There would be no sense In an
argument between two disputants
who cannot agree on the premises.

by both contestants, II were idle to

emphasis to his condemnation OF

directed II TO be read from the
pulpits throughout his archdiocese.
In his letter no ordered all Roman
Catholics to renounce membership

Archbishop Murray Of st. Paul !

Archbishop Murray OF st. Paul
was accorded prominence in the
press on last Sunday. Mrs. Sanger
has been in his diocese, "spoilMg
for a fight" The lady represents
the National Commute on Federal
Legislation for Birth Control. The
Archbishop Is the local representa-
tive of the Catholic church---an
institution embracing all nations.
The press tells US that Mrs. San.
gers criticism was aimed at the
Archbishop. He declined a per-
soual encounter, but he expressed
some opinions that seemed to aim
at her. Three specific statements
were set forth by him: /. Birth
control organizations are like the
Dillinger mob. Both are organized
to commit murder; 2. The differ
ences between the Hitler govern
ment and the Church of Rome are
essentially the same as the DIFF
ferences between the Catholic
church and the birth control move.

We never knew until the industrial ex-
hibition in Hartford was thrown open to
the public that Connecticut plants made
so much sports-goods equipment. Almost
everything that could be desired for all
seasons of the year is made right in this
state. There are all kinds of fishing
equipment, rods, reels, and lines, as well
as tackle. Roller and ice skates come from
Torrington. Saddles, football tackling
dummies, baseball gloves, ping-pong balls,
animal traps, ETC., are just small list OF
what can be found by checking up on our
state industries. It's almost as diversified
as what we make right here in Waterbury.

acute boredom.
1t is her thesis that people are
stupid. boorish. untidy. gloomy, or
generally unlikable simply because
they are too lazy to do anything
about 1t. BY taking thought, she
suggests, you may not be able to
add cubits to your stature, but you
can create for yourself delightful
personality. In this book she tells
how it's done.
must admit that 1t sounds like
quite job. To begin with, you
must attain physical and mental
poise. Foddowing that you must de-
velop your mind, cultivate an INTEL

and tactful. develop both an es-

toward life.

mental and physical exercises by
which you can correct everything

Then, too, the CCC is conserving
human as well as natural re-

Additional reams of material

relief from the Emergency Relief
Administration. We know that he
has consistently, as an individual,
I advocated before the Emergency
| Relief Administration justice and
! fairness to all as to relief to be
administered and as to wages to
be paid workers on relief. The
only possible reason for any at
tack on him is due to the fact
that as county attorney he was
compelled to prosecute certain
Mexican workers for violations of
the law in conspiring to take the
property of the Chambers Grocery
store. No man should be con-
demned for doing his public duty.
The attack on MIR. B. H. NC
Carly, county commissioner, is
not based on facts. Mr.. Nc
Carly. county commissioner, has
never been in charge of disburse-
ments of any commodities from
the Emergency Relief. for the
reason that all issues of COM
modities have been made since
Mr.. McCarty has resigned from
the administration of relief in this
county and no commodities we're
issued prior to his resignation with
the exception of a carload of ap-
Piles and a carload of potatoes
and some issues Of processed meat.
We know personally that these
commodities were fairly and equit-
ably distributed by MI. McCarty.
The statement made by MI. Krog-
man that Mr.. McCarty has dis
bursed relief commodities to his
own employees and to other citi-
zens who were not on relief rolls
is an absolute falsehood and not
founded on any fact whatsoever.
This statement is made so that
the people Of this community may
thoroughly understand the situa-
ton and not be miSled by such
false representations as are now
being made by Mr.. Krogman and
others. We invite the business
men and other people of this
community to get behind our Or
SANITATION the same as they would
any other civic organization of the
community and we assure the
:~nblic generally that we will at
all times work for the good of the
community and for the good of
its workers and the people gen.
orally.
We feel fully capable of looking
after the labor situation in this
community and we do not invite
Mn. Krogman. Or any other of
his associates in Billings. Montana,
elsewhere. to come here to at
to our labor or relief con-
ditions. On the other hand, we
invite them to stay out of our
community. We urgently request
the citizens Of Hardin and com
munity to get behind US in this
stand taken by us.
