Pretty Harsh Words

Mayor Alfred N. Phillips, Jr., of Stam- ford must have been in fighting mood when he charged Governor Wilbur L. Cross with being an "anchor around the neck of the democratic ticket" AS yet the several spicy remarks that the Fair field county democrat threw at the states thrice-elected democratic governor have evoked no response. They're apt not to, either. But others will probably take up the cudgels both in support of the gov- eri1or and the Stamford mayor.
 Coming as this attack does prior to the appearance of Postmaster General James A. Farley in this state, the spring conven- tion of the democrats at which national convention delegates will be chosen 1t does not seem to be quite in order. Unless we are badly mistaken Mayor Phillips will overShoot his mark every time if he hits out as critically as this. His motives may have something to do with it. It would seem obvious that Mayor Phillips was aiming at the democratic state ticket for himself.
 But with Comptroller Swartz hailing from Norwalk it would not seem at all likely that democrats would load down their ticket with Fairfield county candi- dates in view of the failure of the party to score heavily in this section of the state. Of course Comptroller Swartz himself has been suggested on occasions for the gubernatorial nomination in the event that Governor Cross does not seek renomination. But such state Of affairs would be as apt to send this nomination to New Haven or Hartford counties, as Fairfield.
 As to the governors pronounced stand on patronage matters, regardless of com plaints about it, it has kept him in office for three terms; it has given us many democratic judges where we had none; it has given us democratic state officers all down the line, as we'll as commissioner ships; and finally it has given us hun dreds of democratic state workers where ance there were none.

Wars Delights

Maybe, if we took the time to under stand what that little word war" really means, we wouldn't toss it around as cas- .ually as we have been doing lately. The way the word has been handled you'd think war was sort of exercise or disc1- pline which, while mildly unpleasant, didn't really amount to enough to make anyone think twice about it.
 It might be wholesome to pause for minute or two and consider the case Of Otto Stukart, of Vienna. TWenty-one years ago, when the World War was young and some millions of young men had not yet found the graves for which they were destined, Stukart was a soldier in the imperial army of Francis Joseph ot Austria. Serving on the Russian front, he was captured and stuck into prison camp far back somewhere in the lonely Russian wastes.
 The war ground its bloody way down the years, and Stukart stayed in prison. Revolution swept across Russia, the war ended, the house of Hapsburg fell, and its empire was dismembered - and still Stukart stayed in that desolate prison camp. For this particular batch of pris- oners had simply been forgotten. So many things had been happening that the Rus sian authorities just let it slip their minds. So Stukart remained in prison, along with his comrades, until at last, in the year 1886, somebody remembered them and turned them loose. So Stukart,, fin ally, after 21 years in prison, made his way back to Vienna and was reunited with his wife and daughter, who had SUD- posed him dead.
 That's all there is to this particular story. The cables didn't reveal what the husband and the wife said to each other, or what they thought about things. Some one did take picture; and you can see the tired, haggard face of this former Austrian soldier looking out at you with the blank stare of man who has come to understand that life is sellout and a fraud. But you have to imagine the rest of it. Now the point of all this is that this monstrous injustice is just small sample of the sort of thing war hands out indiscriminately. War, in other words, is blind and stupid and heartless. It com pletely ignores the individual.
 It can bite 21 years out of mans life as heedlessly as it can gouge out his eyes or break his spine or drape his entralls over brabed-Wire fence; not because any purpose is served by so doing, but merely because that is the way war works. If we can only remember that war is noth- ing but an infinite number of such cases of cruel and everlastingly useless injus- tice, we might stop talking about it so glibly - and, instead, renew our deternl- ination that we are going to remain at peace, no matter what happens in Europe.

Let the Commissioners Aid?

Commissioner of Motor Vehicles Michael A. Connor has offered to collect the property taxes levied by cities and towns of the state on automobiles. For years this has been an overlooked item by a good many people. In fact, the Motor Vehicle Department estimates that almost $500, ,000 has been lost in delinquent auto taxes. That's quite big sum, especially in these days when communities need every penny that can be raised to carry on and make both ends meet.
 We feel pretty sure that Commissioner Connor would solve the problem easily. He has made such a fine success of his own department there could be little doubt about him accomplishing what a diversity of tax officials failed to do. When the Motor Vehicle Department stepped in and started to threaten de- linquent taxpayers with loss of regiStra- tion plates considerable good was accom- plished. But the record isn't perfect yet and it certainly should be-
 Those legitimately entitled to exemp- ton are not included in the 10000 cars that annually escape local taxation. They are out-and-out delinquents, who evade payment successfully and who probably have for good many years. Adoption of uniform tax and system on automobiles would be necessary, though, before Commissioner Connor would aS- sume tax-collecting burdens as part of his departments That would be diffi- cult to get 169 towns to agree to, but it certainly would be well worth the effort and return in collection of taxes.

A Book a Day
These Stories Are Mad-and Improper

The insane and ribald humor of the late Thorne Smith brought belly-laughs to 8 good many read-l CTS in the last few years! So I sup pose a lot of people will be glad to know that three of his funniest novels are now available one volume, entitled '"The Thorne Smith Three-Decker."
 In this book we find :"The Stray Lamb" "Turnabout," and Rain in the Doorway" They display this writer's peculiar talent at its best. and if you have never made his ac- quaintance this is @ good time to begin. s,-.
 As you may have heard, Thorne Smiths books are both mad and improper. The most wildly impos- sible things happen in them, and happen, so to speak, with a perfect ly straight face.
 For instance, in "rhe Stray Lamb," a middle-aged stock broker wakes up one morning to find that he has been turned into a horse. After divers experiences in this guise he becomes. successively, a lion, and a horrible scaly reptile to the vast annoyance of his family.
 Likewise. "Turnabout" sees Q husband and wife undergo an uIl- expected and magical transforma- ton whereby each has to- occupy the others body for . time: and '.rain in the Doorway" finds . citi. zen stumbling Into a department store which exists outside of space and time. with everything happen

It's here!!l Brush fires have started and from now until late May we presume every fire company in the city will be kept busy answering alarms to put out blazes in backyards and empty lots. Peo- pie just won't learn about brush and rub bish fires. They insist on trying to burn up everything at once or else start too many small fires to be taken care of properly. And the majority of people who burn up brush and rubbish in the spring of the year take no precautions at all to prevent the spread of flames. And when they have spread and nearby property is endangered too often the one responsible does nothing but stand around helplessly, while somebody else has to summon the fire department We think it's about time that the city cracked down on people responsible for brush fires that spread to others proper ty and demand the attention of the fire department It's costly to the city and other property holders. They shouldn't be penalized for someone elses careless ness.
