Campaign Of Fear

Governor Wilbur L. Cross made one of the finest campaign speeches that will be heard in Connecticut this fall the other night in the address that he delivered at the testimonial dinner to former National Committeewoman Fannie Dixon Welch In New Haven. To our way of thinking the high light came when Governor , Cross said, "There has been no campaign since the years following the Civil War when the appeal of the republican party has been mainly to fear. I suspect, though do not know, that this is the policy of the Republican National Committee. ="
 It has been our belief for quite some few weeks now that campaign of fear is on in our midst, not merely here in Con- necticut, but all through the United States. The obvious intent of the repub- lican party is to instill in the hearts and minds of voters distrust for the demo- cratic party and for the administration of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. They go about this in many ways, but their best means is by painting dire pictures of a future in which there is no happiness
 If you'll notice, though, that attack is leveled against the national party. There is no such attempt here in Connecticut, for example, to show that continued ad- miniStration of the state government by the democrats will have such an effect. Even the deficit, which might reasonably be expected to be an object of attack by republican spokesman is left religiouSly alone. It has been mentioned, but the ones who mentioned it were rather care ful in the way they discussed it and did not claim that it was due to democratic naiSmanagement nor failure to exercise the. proper precautions.
 This campaign of fear which is being preached and which Governor CEoss so nicely showed was being preached by such high-command republicans as the candi- date for vice-president, Colonel Frank Knox, is for national consumption, not state. It only goes to prove that when you get right down to real issues, the re- publicans refuse to debate them. They are content with charging democrats with spending huge sums of money, but at the same time they accept the prosperity that has accompanied this government aid. They dig up facts about President Roose- welt to show that back in the Harding regime he spoke against waste of govern ment funds, but they can't prove that public officials by the wholesale lot were involved in those smelly proceedings of fifteen years ago, while MT. RooSevelt's administration maintains pretty clean slate for the vast amount of government spending that is going on. Intimidation through fear never yet accomplished national good.

Hindrance to Building

Great Britain's building recovery, which preceded ours by several years and is now well advanced, is mainly result of two things, says the Architectural Forum. These are the single mortgage" system, by which payments are simplified and made uniform, and cooperation of builders and building trades Some progress has been made lately in America < In the first of these improvements, but the second lags.
 Another British advantage is the sim plification of property taxes and their adjustment on the ability of property to pay. 'In Great Britain" explains the Forum, "real property is taxed according to it's income rather than, as in the United States, according to it's capital value" Vacant land and some classes of vacant buildings are not taxed.
 Thus England avoids the inconsistency of demanding heavy taxes from owners whose property is producing nothing to pay the taxes with. And thus "the Eng fish speculative builder can pick up land at price which does not have to take into account backlog of taxes, and is therefore great deal chaper than equiv alent acreage here."

According to the news of the day there will be six tickets on the voting machines that will be in use in this city on Tuesday, November 3. The new type of machine that the city purchased some years ago will provide plenty of room for the vari- ous party labels and candidates. In fact, there is room for three more parties on the machine. However, we believe that when there are so many different parties on the machine it usually results in more straight tickets being voted than if there were only two or three tickets on the machine. The person who would split his ticket is more apt to do so when there is no great confusion of names and party labels. Six tickets means quite few names and while it is easy enough to go into a machine ahead of time and exam inc the mechanism, it's far different when you're voting and there are lots of people waiting in line behind you, not to men, tion bunch of election officials nearby.

Let State Police Do It

In an effort to abolish the constable fee system, which has been found to work against true disposition of justice in vari- ous parts of Connecticut, Deputy Judge Clyde A. Clark of Windsor urged last week that state police patrol all highways, par ticularly those in and around Windsor, where t has been charged too many ar rests of drivers have been made of recent weeks Constables making such arrests are paid fees for the same. Judge Clark falt Tuesday declared that there were too many such arrests and that in many cases only warming should have been given.

We think that the plan to hold the special election to fill the vacancy in the 18th senatorial district, down New Lon don way, in conjunction with the Novem- Der election is an excellent one. It not only will save the cost of a special election, but it will also allow the candidate elected at this time to serve in both the special session to be called and the regular one in 1887. At least this will be done if both major parties, and others interested, so designate their candidates. It would be foolish to nominate two candidates for two different sessions that are to be held so close together.

Selected Poem
WHEN THE FALL DAYS COME
(Florida Times-Union)

Every year when the fall days come
 And harvest songs the hired men hum, And the leaves turn red and brown and gold And the fields yield blessings manifold,
 And the partridge whistles across the wheat And the morns are clear and cool and sweet, Where is the man with soul so dead Who wants to lie curled up in bed? Why, the air is crisp and it's just like wine And 1t makes fellow feel so fine
 He wants to arise and greet the day With song and whoop and skip away. Yes, hike away where the leaves awhirl Guidance any giddy chorus girl,
 Where the golden glory seems to spill Ger wood and vale and stream and hill, And natures stage is fairer to see
 Than any old theater junk there be, For Master Hand paints the scene so fair And man can't paint it-or wouldn't dare The way it's painted by His delft hand Oh. the fall of the year is of all most grand.

often repeated during the Russian Revolution on every street corner, from every drunken sailor and sol- dier-but that it came from the lips of a man who chose religion for his profession.
 Every profession has a certain code of ethics, and 1t has always been my impression that church men presumably have the highest.
 The structure of the old Russian church, with the Car as the head of 1t, might be questioned, but the same holds true with respect to the English Episcopalian church, and for that matter even the Catholic church where both the temporal and the spiritual powers have for 8 long time been united in one per- son.
 It is not my intention to argue about the role of the church in res- pect to the government, since it would only lead to the same old question of whether there should be one church lined close to the gov- ernment-a totalitarian idea, or else sort of free for all-with million different sects and religious organ nations from the old established re- ligious bodies down to Miss Mo- Pherson's and Father Divine's quasi-churches
 The main thing, however, is that spiritual something that any kind of faith has played in the life of the nation. It will not be an exag- geration to state that the Russian Orthodox church made Russia. Out of hundreds of small, at times hos tile states, it made it 8 great na- tion. The church was not only 8 preserver of the nation but for a long time its only educator. And without tortures and live peo- pie burning at stake. The spiritual side of the Russian life has been shaped and guided by the church most of the Russia's greatest men were deeply religious. Dostoevski's writings are known throughout the civilized world, and he probably more than any one expressed the spirit of the Russian faith.
 The statement that the present government is trying to kill the Russian church is very misleading, to say the least. The Communist came out openly with a slogan that religion is opium for masses" |" Among the thousands of victims during the Russian Revolution you will find not only Russian priests, but also Catholic, Protestant and Jewish clerics.
 Thus the wish of a Christian pas- tor "and the sooner it happens the better" cannot possibly mean the Russian church only.
 Furthermore, Russia has had no official Czars for nineteen years, and to take it out" on the present Rus sian priests just because in the past their church was closely connected with the government seems rather cruel. If carried further we should bring back the memory of the In. quiSition, Protestants staying Cath olics, etc, and start on the other churches as well
 Happily, the flying observations erred in other respects. The present government, realizing finally the futility of fighting the church, by the official decree passed three months ago, not only permitted churches to be opened freely but even went so far as to Semi-offi- cially close down most of the anti-religious clubs, and greatly re- stricting their activities "as affect ing the freedom of thought"

BUS DRIVERS LOT FAR FROM HAPPY IN RUSH TO
 KEEP SCHEDULES
Waterbury, Conn. September 2S, 1886.

Waterbury, Conn. September 2S, 1886. Editor, Waterbury Democrat:
 Now that the excitement of the terrible bus disaster has dwindled down, the whole town is still wonder ing why something hasn't been done before this to prevent fatalities of this kind. Out of respect to MT. O'Donnell's beloved family, whose hearts are broken, it is too bad, that at this time, the chief support of his family, had to be snatched by the Grim Reaper. In as much as we would like to see some compensa- tion made, it's about time the Con- necticut Co. realized that they have human beings working for them These men, most of them fathers, and the majority of them, the sole support of their families, faced an immense responsibility in driving these busses. Little did MT. O,Don- nell realize, when he left his happy family on that Hateful afternoon, that he would never glimpse a sight of his own dear people again. Then, the manner in which his family was notified!
 Neighbors came to offer sympathy and the family, unaware of the tragedy that had overshadowed them, were grief stricken. The sus- pense of that awful hour, telephones ringing, calling hospitals, calling here and there, to find out news of their beloved son. One report, Hes slightly hurt" Another, "He died a few minutes ago." Oh, the terror of that lonesome hour. That hour was his family's journey to Calvary.
 Any wonder the grief stricken family went to pieces. And then the truth came, tragic, but true. In a recent newspaper, 8 Connecticut company official was quoted as say ing, MT. O'Donnell was ahead of his schedule by one minute" Well, as excellent a driver as John was, no one knows nor will anyone know just as to where he was supposed to be at the awful moment. If he were behind his schedule, he would have heard about it. A better driver, the Connecticut company never had nor ever will have, because John had the efficient record of never having an accident: but when the first mishap came, it proved to be his last. Working nine hours through, with no relief, not even minute to spare.
 These bus drivers are men, whc can well be proud of themselves for few men could endure the constant grind. Claim agents and adjustors may offer some compensation to a sorrowful, heart-broken family, but they can never bring back to them their chief pride and possession, their devoted son, John. Fighting like a true Irishman, descendant of one of the finest families that ever set foot on Washington Hill, he died @ glorious death, that he might maintain his schedule. Here's hop ing, you plucky bus drivers, that you'll get new schedules and that proper time will be allotted to you for your various routes. Come on, you bus men, fight to the finish! We're all for you.

A Groton man comes forward now to stand beside the various weather prophets of the state. He claims that 1936-37 will see mild, but rainy winter. In view of what we've had in the last few years that's taking your courage by the right hand and Haunting it in the face of pub lie ridicule. But we hope the Groton man is right with regard to the mildness, with all apologies to the good old coal man.

BRITISH SERGEANT,
10 ARABS KILLED

JERUSALEM, June %. CUP).
A British sergeant and 10 Arabs
were killed in a clash near Nablus
last night.
1t was the first serious fighting
involving British troops and Arab
insurgents since April 10, when
the British government decided to
take an active hand in suppress
ing anti-Semitic rioting.
Three British soldiers were
wounded, two seriously, when
Arabs fired on a military trans
port convoy in the Arab village
of Anabta, near Tulkarem.
Arab leaders have charged the
British policy of allowing almost
unrestricted Jewish immigration
into their country with being re-
sponsible for the rioting which has
continued for more than two
months. They also threaten to
continue violence until Britain
bans Jewish immigration, which
they claim is running them eco
nomically. They stressed that they
are not opposed to British rule.
