Rhode Island Tercentenary,

The smallest State in the Union is
celebrating the three hundredth ami
versary of its settlement. Religious
refugees from Massachusetts,, led by
Roger Williams, colonized the neighbor-
hood of Providence in June, 1886. The
good old chief Massasoit, so the story
tells, received the strangers with great
kindness" and Canonicus, equally
friendly, gave them tract of land at
the head of Narragansett Bay. Ports
mouth and Newport were founded
within three years. All these communi-
ties, says DR.. Henry William Elson, were
established ION the principle of absolute
freedom of conscience"
1t follows, then, that Rhode Island
represented something new in the in
stitutional organization of society.
Williams, in 1643, obtained a charter,
not from King Charles I, but from
Parliament, and that, too, was novelty
hitherto it had been supposed that the
signature of sovereign was necessary
to the validity of basic instrument of
government. But times were changing,

WASHINGTON OBSERVATIONS
BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE.

Although the United States Chamber
OF Commerce convention in Washington
wound up on a note of more or less
brotherly love between industry and the
Roosevelt administration, with an in
formal agreement to cooperate in tao
king unemployment, the view persists
that business by and large will be anti
New Deal in the 1886 election. CONNER
cial and financial leaders think the
breathing spell" may prevail for the
duration of F. D. RS campaign for re-
election. but many are fearful that once
he is settled in the White House for a
second term, it will not be long before
there S renewal of policies that have so
widely been found Objectionable by in
dustry and finance during the past three
years. Attempted revival of N. r. A.
in some form or other is pretty generally
anticipated. Some business leaders are
hopeful that. as the campaign progresses,
the President may see fit to hold out an
olive branch or two. foreShadowing a
turn to the right, although the pending
tax bill doesn't promise much in that
direction. If business as whole remains
in the mood reflected at the chamber
conclave, it's going to be for the elephant
and against the donkey in November.

Just about the time Jim Farley was
indicating that Happy Days Are Here
Again" will once more be the Democratic
National Convention theme song, the
stock market ran into about the most
unhappy days it has encountered since
Midsummer. 1884. AS high security prices
are commonly expressive of business up
trend, some New Dealers are worried lest
the current slump in Wall Street be pop
ularly construed as a sign that the in
duStrlal situation is not quite as rosy
AS it's touted to be. Less peSsimistic
Democrats are comforted by the fact
that the break in stocks gained momen-
tum at the very moment that figures
for steel, electric power and automobile
production, as well as carloadingS, check
payments and construction, were going
up. In their confidential moments, plenty
of RooSeveltians evince alarm over the
continuance of unemployment on so vast
scale. They concede that it is a
situation loaded with political dynamite
and fear that unless the figures are dras-
tically reduced during the Summer and
Fall, the G. o. P. will have an anti
Roosevelt talking point that's going to be
difficult to answer.

Natures Warming.

During the storm which swept over
Washington yesterday lightning struck
the tower of the old Post Office Depart
ment Building, doing slight damage
This stroke may, however, be inter-
preted as a warning from Nature that
the time has come for the demolition
of this structure and the completion of
the project for the construction of the
final unit of the Internal Revenue
Building, which now occupies three
quarters of the space allocated to it in
the area known as the Mall-Avenue
Triangle. Indeed, the time is long past
when this work should have been under
taken.
The program for the construction of
a group of Government buildings within
the great triangle has been interrupted
for no good reason. The excuse for the
delay in the finishing of the plan has
been that the old structure which yes
is needed for the housing of various
divisions of the New Deal operations.
Meanwhile, the Government is badly
served in its continued use. The struc-
ture is i'll adapted to the purposes to
which it is put. Sooner or later it must
be razed and replaced by a building

ALLEGATION by act Of Congress. an allot-
ment of a sufficient amount to remove
this antiquated, disfiguring structure and
to replace it with the final unit of the
Internal Revenue Building would be but
a matter of administrative order, not
subject to congressional action in
approval.
The purpose to give work to artisans
and laborers which has underlain many
of the Government projects of improve
ment and development would be served
by such an enterprise. Plans and Speci-
fications for the final unit are already
available, inasmuch as the completion
of the Revenue Building would merely
call for repetition of the work which
has just been completed at the north
eastern corner of the great rectangle
allocated to this purpose. 1t is to be
hoped that Sundays stroke of lightning
will start this long delayed operation,
bringing the triangle" one more step
nearer completion and leaving only the
gap in the plans now remaining, that
to the east of the Commerce Department
on E street to be eventually filled. This
involves solution of the problem Of how
to provide properly for the District gov
ernment, the home of which is presum-
ably eventually to be taken, upon
equitable terms, for Federal uses in its
incorporation into the present Post
Ofhce-Labor- Interstate Commerce unit

the old concepts of autocratic rule were
breaking down, the second Stuart was
on his way to the scaffold in Westminster
and the shadow of militant democracy
personif1ed in Oliver Cromwell was rising
over England. The exiles from Boston
and Plymouth simply took advantage of
processes of social mutation already in
motion.
But williams and his friends deserve
everlasting credit for recognizing their
hour when it struck. The strength of
their position was confirmed in 1868
when the Rhode Islanders obtained a
second license from Charles II in ratifi-
cation of the doctrine that mo one be
molested for any difference in opinion
in matters of religion" Tolerance, as
DR.. Elson insists, thus was embodied
in constitutional law, and it grew and
expanded until it covered all Christen-
DOM" But, of course, the struggle was
not finished. 1t never is. Rather, free
dom constantly must be labored and
fought for, everywhere and In all times.
The tercentenary commemoration is de-
signed to reaffirm that elemental truth.
And the other forty-seven common
wealths of the United States will be we'll

few months to the repetition of the tale
of Williams libertarianism. He was a
man who consistently refused to COM
promise on essentials. Expediency was
abhorrent to him when it involved the
surrender of primary convictions. He
declined to commit treason to his own
soul in the interest Of temporary gain,
comfort or convenience. That is his
immortality and the boast of his Spir-
itual descendants. the free people Of a
republic dedicated to God and prosper
ing by faith in Him.

Shooting Stars.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

An Elemental Explanation.
A simple phrase will oft express
A most important truth.
There's one which haunts us, more
less.
Through life, from early youth.
The boy who not so long ago
Was taking doctors stuff
Was sick because he did not know
When he had had enough.
The man of power and of fame
Goes out of date because
He eagerly attempts to claim
Too much of the applause.
The man who rashly undertakes
Questionable finance
In sorrow frequently awakes,
Bewailing his mischance.
In gentle terms we strive TO note
Each source of human grief.
Ambition" is a cause we quote.
1t seems to give relief.
But to plodding mind and slow
The word sounds like bluff
To hide a case of "Didn't-know-
When-h n-he-had-had-enough."

belief that enough persons are killing
animals now; some must be left to give
them admiration and help, and be willing
to let them alone in the hands of nature.
Those who feel this way will find the
following poem one of the most poignant
ever written:
THE SNARE.
By James Stephens.
hear a sudden cry of pain!
There is a rabbit in a snare.
Now hear the cry again,
But cannot tell from where.
But cannot tell from where
He is calling out for aid;
Crying on the frightened air.
Making everything afraid.
Making everything afraid.
Wrinkling up his little face,
AS he cries again for aid;
And I cannot find the place.
And I cannot find the place
Where his paw is in the snare:
Little one! Oh, little one!
am searching everywhere.
None of us can find the place, alas,
when it comes to reScuing animals from
the misery and destruction visited upon
them everywhere.
The poet, crippled himself, listened for
cries of pain, and felt deep hurt, but
he was truthful beyond words-he could
not find the place. but he kept on look
ing searching, trying to help.
The animal lover, whoever he IS, or
wherever he may be, will feel helpless,
against the might of custom and the
average man. With the latter he has
no quarrel He knows when the average
man hears cry of trapped animal, he
simply will say, "Ah, a rabbit" and feel
he has won his dinner.
Nevertheless, there will continue to be
in the world many persons who feel as
James Stephens did, not as these others.
And if they can do nothing, as the poet
could not, still they must cling to their
feelings, and not permit cries of ''senti-
mentaliSt" to drive them TO let go of them.
A little aid will 60 long way. and it
is possible to help the wild things on
all sides, without making any fuss about
it, or attracting the attention of the
doubterS.
Since foOd Is their primary need, AMI
mails make their quickest and happiest
response to it. Birds, squirrels and rab-
bits offer the best possibilities in this
line, especially in the suburbs, but stray
dogs and cats may be given handouts,
from time to time.
1t has been said that a European
family could live on the food thrown
away by the average American family.
Although this statement was made
prior to the depression, it probably con-
tains more than grain of truth. Much
that the average family regards as
garbage could be salvaged for the wild
creatures. 1t would be a good thing for
the friend of animals to look over these
possibilities, before deciding that he can
do nothing in this respect.
Watching the wild things of nature eat
Is one of the joys of this good interest in
them. The amateur photographer has
no better way to get good pictures than
this. A little food. little patience. and
good camera will give him wonderful
shots" he could get no other way. This
is shooting that has no regrets.
There has been enough talk about the
damage wild rabbits do in gardens. AS
a suburban entity, the brown bunny is
very much in place. Feed him, and reap
a big harvest.

Landon, who is believed to be out in the

date. He has remained in his own home
State, except for step across the border
into the neighboring State of Nebraska
for a single Speech. There has been
nothing to indicate that Gov. Landon is

date. Perhaps the Shrewd thing for the
Republicans to do, in the event that
Landon is their standard bearer, would
be to leave the travelling around to Presi-
dent Roosevelt. They might figure that
the country, after listening to the Presi-
dent for four years, may be little tired

 Naugatuck frightened it's hold on first place in the Naugatuck Valley league Saturday when it white- washed Gilbert High of Winsted at Recreation field, 6-0. A splendid three-hit twirling performance by "Red" Mariana, Naugatuck pitcher, was instrumental in the local vics tory.
 The Garnet scored two runs in the third, added one more in the fifth when Anderson tailed Ed- Tnonds with Q double and pushed two more runs across in the seventh to insure victory.
 The locals gave Mariana fine support and only one Gilbert play- CT reached third base. The Nauga. tuck team has an excellent record thus far. not having lost 6 single league game and having only been beaten twice in other games.
