A Thought for Today
Once Dreaded, Today Welcomed

.e Perhaps the most interesting thing about the sucurity program offered to \ Congress by President Roosevelt is not the program itself, but the Congressional reaction to it. So far, hardly voice has s been raised in opposition to the measure itself On the contrary, criticism seems : to be based almost entirely on the conten- ' tion that the measure does not go far .~ enough.
 In that fact you have yardstick to measure the distance which our viewpoint on such matters has travelled in recent years. If such measure had been pre- sented to Congress at any time before, say, 1888, it would have aroused great deal of protest. It would have been called dan gerous experimentation, and it's attempts to provide protection for the victims of stress would have been dubbed 7 an unAmerican form of coddling, designed to sap our national self-reliance.
 This comment is not made in criticism of any party or any individuals. Most ol us would have looked on it in that fashion We simply were not ready to admit that things can happen in our country against which no amount of individual effort could avail. But now the plan is offered-and the objection most commonly heard is the charge that it isn't strong enough; that it does not provide enough security, or promise to pay out enough money. Washington correspondents agree that there is no question whether the security bill will pass; the question is whether it will not be amended to give greater bene- fits. We have had revolution in this country, after all; and it has taken place in our minds Our point of view has shift ed. We don't look at things with the same eyes that we used half dozen years ago. Yesterdays dangerous radicalism is the height of today's conservatism - in this one field, at any rate.
 This simply means that we have found out some things about our country and about ourselves. We have found out that country in which great masses of the people never earn more than fifteen or twenty dollars week, and are subject to spells of complete unemployment at vary ing intervals, is not country in which every man can attain any measure of in- dependence and security by his own efforts.
 And we have found out, simultaneously, that we as individuals cannot stand it to have that state of affairs continue ndef- initely. We are willing to subject our selves to a complicated and expensive pro- gram to end it.

John Barton Payne

It is hard to conceive of the American Red Cross without the inspiring presence of John Barton Payne. He has been an integral part of this great humanitarian organization over so long period of years that the Red Cross and the names of Payne were really synonomous. He gave the best part of his life to the further ance of the principles of the Red Cross. He served it well and faithfully in the years in which it accomplished the most good and extended it's activities into every nook and cranny of this great nation ot ours.
 Even while the 80-year-old chairman lay dying of pneumonia in a Washington hospital the society that he headed was speeding relief into the flood wasted regions of the Tennessee and Mississippi rivers. For the fourteen years he had held the post to which he was called by Warren c. Harding at the outset of the latter's presidency he had served without one cent of pay. And when we say work, it was actually that His was not mere paternal interest in the Red Cross. It wa tremendously active.
 Before going to the Red Cross he had been rewarded with national prominence His government duties had been many ana ulVerSe. lHey were cuIHdHeu WltH " Cabinet portfolio, that of the Department of Interior, in the last months of the Will son administration. He had also been Wilson's director-general of railroads and shipping board chairman. Harding made him Red Cross chief and that he remained to the end, the same energetic figure with the enthusiasm of youth and the pur- pose of philanthropist His successor must do much to fill the shoes of the de- parted one.

State Goes To The Cleaners

It is no attempt at witticism that s~'causes us to title these few words as above. If ever there was time when this state needed thorough overhauling, cleaning, and pressing it is right now. We chose to make the 1885 Legislature both the auto mechanic and dry cleaner and presser to do the dirty work. And there is certainly work ahead for this body of lawmakers. Let us hope that some part of it will be done to the taste of all of us, if the complete job can't be done at one sitting.
 Reorganization of the state government as demanded by Governor Cross in his first inaugural of 1881 is still para mount point in the democratic platform. However, it is pleasure to know that at last democrats, or perhaps just Governor Cross by his earnestness have persuaded the republicans that the reorganization is ain order. They admitted last fall after some hesitation that appointment of commission to make the necessary surveys and recommendations was the right move.
 It was the same way with the tax sur vey. Admittedly our tax structure IS weak. But it took lot of talking before z we finally gave permission for a real q study of taxation, so that changes might s. be made that would equalize the burden and perhaps bring about decidedly lighter one. Our tax board has reported. It's findings will be dissected thoroughly .and, we sincerely hope, some of them adopted not merely by the state alone but by every community. We refer now to the uniform tax year and laws.
 Our milk and liquor control acts will be changed about a bit to make them fit the demands of the people and particularly those groups directly affected by the laws. Public utility statutes will be mod ernized, for the commission itself has finally asked for the same. A program of institutionsal expansion and modern- ization will bring them to the point of !. efficiency needed to maintain our already high standard in this field. These mat s.ters cannot properly be discussed now and <. laid aside for future action They de- mand it now. Despite rocky start we { trust our Legislature may blaze path to fame through thorough cleaning job on -Our government.

London Letter
By CAMILLE CIANFARRA

London fUP)-Londoners arc prouder than ever of their city. which, they claim, has become the gayest European capital and the center of the worlds luxury trade.
 Night clubs. theaters, cinemas, restaurants, shops and other trade and aYnusement enterprises report q business increase.
 This spending orgy was acceler- atcd and intensified by the we'd ding of Princess Marina of Greece and the Duke of Kent, yet London had been having by far q gayer night left than Paris, or any other European capital for several months, BritisherB say.
 Shows Are Sc1I-Outs.
 Shows, even mediocre, are a sell out. Lines Of people are to be seen over night at the gallery en- frances of West End theaters. a. waiting patiently the opening of the box office to buy unreserved seats.
 Cabarets, although with Jess at- tractive floor shows and smaller bands than in large American cit- les, announce considerable increase in patronage. Sinemas report ca- acity houses throughout the series of daily performances and between p. m. and 10 D. m. it's hardly possible to And room In the cheap CT, 06-cent seats.
 However, there has been no notc- worthy increase in prices.
 England not being. Q gold-stand- . ard country, Frenchmen, Swiss, Hollanders, Otalians. etc. have found that their currencics can buy much more here than in any other Eurpean capital.

Edward J. Ryan, executive secretary of the Connecticut Tavern Owners Associa- tion, makes mistake in this utterance, If the hotels and restaurants. in this state have liquor egalized in their places of business, there is no logical reason why liquor should not be legalized in tav- erns. :" The best answer that we can think of is this: Under Connecticut law a tavern is a place in which beers and wines alone are supposed to be sold. If other liquors are sold there, then it logic ally follows that the tavern isn't a tavern. However, that is not the tavern-keepers fault. It's the laws fault, for making distinctions between various emporiums that retail liquors. In the final analysis there really is little difference. If the law stands, the tavernkeepers who want to sell liquor by the drink should make res- taurants or grills out of their establish ments and come, thusy, under differently proposed rules.

BONUS COMPROMISE
A Book a Day
By BRUCE CAPTION

The spanish American war may not have been much of war, as such things go, but 1t was nevertheless unique in our hls- tory. In spite of our current theories that wars are caused by designing statesmen, by unscrupu- lous bankers and business men, or by subtle economic currents, here was a war which never would have happened if two yellow New York newspapers had not been engaged in a frantic struggle for circulation. .
 This is made clear in "rhe Cuban Crisis" by Joseph Wisan.
 It was everybodys hard luck, says MT Wisan, that the poasibil- ities of yellow Journalism should be developed just as the Cuban inaurrection broke out in l28b. Hearst and Pulitzer were hunt ing for sensation; the insurrec- ton providedit.
 The way that sensation was handled by the yellow press dur ing the next three years got the country into war which neither tho government. the bankers. nor big business wanted.
 MT Wisan's book is composed chiefly of quotations from New York newspaper editorials and news dispatches between 1895 and 1898, and 1t makes q sorry record, This desperate magnifying or small incidents. this deliberate distortion of truth, this frantic screaming for war--pretty ugly stuff, all of 1t.
 And those were the days of the giants of Journalism" they tell Us about! Thank heaven, such days are gone. That sort o thing could not be done today
 Journalism has improved ire. mendously in this generation, and this book is the proof of 1t.

The bill proposed by Representative Leon Mccarthy of Ansonia setting up state-controlled lottery isn't quite as bad as it seems. Of course we can be chal- lenged on this statement. There are those who believe that all lotteries are bad and demoralizing That's a matter of opinion. You can argue it pretty strenuously both ways It failed to arouse New Workers. probably as quick to take gamble as any, body, to enthusiasm. We don't suppose our even more sober Connecticut folk will be persuaded this is a way out of tenn porary difficulties.
