Religion In A

STRAWS IN THE WIND

Modern biographers would call
Daniel, the Hebrew exile at the court
of King Darius, a self-made man.
They would place him in the same
category with Michael Pupin, Jacob
Riis, and others who, rising from
obscure beginnings, made good. They
would quote Daniel as an example of
what innate ability plus tenacity of
purpose is able to do for a man. Exile,
foreigner, poor, the Hebrew Daniel
rose to become the first of all the
princes of the Modes and the Persians
Purposeful lives, however, do not
come about by themselves. In the life
of Daniel, as in the life of every hui
man being, there occur straws in the
wind which afford one a glimpse of
the secret psychic sources which con-
tribute to either victory or defeat. At
the most critical stage of Daniels
career, as the native-born, jealous
competitors for honors plot to kill
him, the sacred records tells us that
Daniel had his windows open toward
Jerusalem, and prayed thus three
times each day."
Open windows. That in itself is not
significant. Daily hundreds of latticed
windows were being thrown open in
the street where was located Daniels
palace. The straw in the wind is that
Daniels windows were open toward
Jerusalem" For Daniel Jerusalem
stood for the presence of God, for His
protective power and promises, for
the hope of the exile to have restored
unhindered fellowship with God
Daniels spiritual nature had been
rooted long in communion with God
Because of this a character had been
developed which was able to withstand
the temptation of dishonesty, chican-
cry, soft living, incident to life at the
oriental court.
When deed of marvellous love is
done in Jesus behalf, Judas Iscarioth
throws a straw in the wind. He shows
himself to be the stingy member in
Jesus company of disciples. at is ex-
travagent to waste this costly oint-
ment on Jesus" In words like these
Judas affords one glimpse of the
cancer of greed rotting in his soul.
The end of him is the committing of
a crime infamous to the degree so as
to earn for him the reproach of every
human generation coming after him.
The hope which prompted Daniel to
open his windows toward Jerusalem
was not realized. He remains an exile
in strange land. Many hope of the
Christian is not realized this side of
the grave. That does not matter owe
much. There are straws in the wi
which say that even though none Of
the tenets of the Christian faith
should have reality behind them, it is
better to have lived with the windows
of ones soul open toward Jerusalem
than to have spent ones life in the
closely suffered house Of self. The
significant fact is that almost without
exception the lives of those who hop
ed in God were good-not evil-lives
Of men "who through faith subdued
kingdoms and wrought righteous
ness"

Variously Interpreted

The statement of Mayor Frank Hayes about his gubernatorial aspirations, made to the Hartford Times in Hartford Thurs day, has been variously interpreted by papers of the state. It only goes to show, and also to prove, just what we have been claiming for some time, namely, that in other parts of the state our chief execu- tive is held in high respect; his opinions are given careful consideration. In short he is not to the state what the Waterbury Republican American have tried to make him out to be for many months past
 It was interesting, though, to see the treatment accorded the story sent out over the Associated Press state wire. The head-writers did everything but put the Waterbury mayor in Governor Cross shoes. As matter of fact Mayor Hayes merely stated his party loyalty, just as any good democrat would. Had any of the other democratic officials, whose names have been linked with the gubernatorial nomination, been questioned on the same subject as was Mayor Hayes we don't see how they could have answered any differ ently.
 As the mayor put it, q am at the dis posal of my party for any office it may see fit to give me. My attitude towards the nomination (gubernatoriaD is just as it was on the lieutenant-governorship at the last convention. :"
 And it is gospel truth that when Mayor Hayes went down to New London last year it was not with the purpose of ac- cepting any nominations. But having done so no one can doubt the fact that he threw himself into the campaign fight and upheld his end of shouldering the burdens of democracy throughout the contest. He probably feels now that having been drawn into state affairs he will see them through to the finish And when so- licited for an opinion on availability for public office he does not avoid a direct answer
 It is not quite as the Hartford Courant puts it. Although the nominating convention is still year off, MT. Frank Hayes, the Lieutenant-G Governor and the Mayor of Waterbury, has made known that If the Democrats want him to do so he will run for Governor in 1886 ." That might leave the impression that the mayor deliberately sought out the oppor- tunity to voice this opinion. It's a bit different when one is interviewed and di- rect questions put. As to his availability that was voiced long ago by this paper It remains as then, still very prominent in democratic plans.

The Canadian Utopia

Canada is said to be "bewldered'' by the new system voted for in the Alberta election. The Social Credit League pro- gram fathered by William Aberhart, Cal gary school teacher and evangelist, grows no less baffling when it is studied
 The concrete proposals which served as bait for the voters seem clear enough. Every husband and every wife is to get a dividend" of $25 month, to start with, and every child from l6 to 20 is to get $5 to $20 month according to age. This would mean perhaps $75 a month to the average family. It will be collected by the provincial government. The procedure might be likened to cashing interest cou- pons on state bonds
 These payments would eliminate the dole. So far, the plan looks like pure state philanthropy. It is not really so. Anyone refusing to work would forfeit his divi dends. This suggests a more hard-headed State Socialism.
 But where would the money come from to meet these dividend payments? The movement is pledged not to issue any fiat currency. Apparently it is not to come from bond issues, imposing new obliga- ,tions on the whole body of citizens. The "basic dividend', says an interpretation from Edmonton, will be "colectcd by levy"
 This must mean a direct tax on wealth or capital, to start with, which would be sort of confiscation. The leaders doubt less hope, after the first forcible financing to provide an estimated $l20,000,OOO year in a poor province, that the system will gradually become self-operating, with a natural flow of money into the public treasury and out again to meet the social payments.
 That would be the most wonderful prim- ing of an economic motor that this depres- sion era, with all its experiments, has yet seen We shall see what we shall see. Meanwhile Alberta, far from alarming Americans, may deserve vote of thanks. By turning herself into laboratory for our observation, she may be saving some of our states lot of grief.

Better Build It Now

Once more the state finds itself con- fronted with the spectacle of flare up over the Merritt Parkway. And the gen.. eral reaction is that the sooner the various officials concerned with this enterprise get down to brass tacks and cause this high way to be built, the better the motoring public is going to like it. There has been so much dilly-dallying over it of recent months that people are not merely going to become suspicious, but actually weary of the whole thing and then there's going to be such a reaction as might hold up actual construction for many years.
 The average motorist would like to see the road built and won't inquire too closely into costs. We know it's going to take lot of money to build the highway, but since the Legislature voted $15,000,000 bond issue to take care of the states share of the burden, that, ought to be pretty good proof of our belief in the need of the road. No doubt there are many WPA technical ities coming up now to make progress difficult We can understand that, because it's true in other types of relief work, too, but we should appreciate an immediate effort to start the job whether WPA aid is given or not.
 With this $15,000,OO0 available as soon as the bonds can be issued and sold it should be very easy to get the route we'll started this winter. Certainly the remain ing 16 miles of right of way should be bought up. We have had plenty to say about this Fairfield County diamond studded road. It's luxury; we hope no one will doubt that. Perhaps we need some such luxury to compete with adja- cent Westchester county's palatial roads. But what's needed above all is to get that road started and open to the motoring pub- lie before some of us have acquired long grey boards.

Recent reports indicate that liquor con- sumption in the United States is greater today than it was year ago. This is be- lievable. It probably is also greater than it was before prohibition descended upon us. All of which makes one wonder if some definite plan for use of the taxes amassed through liquor manufacture, inn portation, and sale should not be made. Of course, certain percentage of all such income must go to maintain the system by which the tax is invoked and levied. But over and above this there are ample funds to be diverted to some set purpose other than turning them into the treasury for general purposes. We would hesitate without some thought and study to recom- mend channel into which to pour the liquor taxes, but offhand we might say that they could be used to pay off the debts that all governments are now incur ring in floating relief work and caring for the unemployed.

We're anxious to see how the fishing public reacts to the experiment now being tried by the State Board of Fisheries and Game Fishing for trout in certain Con- necticut streams and ponds is legal from today until October 15. It is the first time that this season of the year has ever been open in the history of fish regulation in Connecticut. It will be interesting to find out if the results are the same as those obtained from the spring and summer season. Evidently Connecticut streams must be fairly well stocked or the author ities think that many fish will not be taken from them. Maybe that's the an- swer Time will tell

Mornings, moons, evenings, merge somehow Time has become my servant now! Monotonous each vacant day Drags paternless its hours away; There is rhythm rhyme In any act thought of mine. So might breathing manikin, With pallid face and painted grin, Stalk on these feet which carry me- robot governed by bey Strange that one's framework must live on When that which fed it's heart is gone (You are not here-you are not hcre)-- Month after month--year after year!
