He Won't Resign

The press of the state has been playing with the news lately that J. Henry Rora- back, chairman of the Republican State Central Committee, would resign his post prior to the launching of the fall cam paign. There seems to be no foundation to the rumor according to what MT. Roraback and his confdants say regard ing 1t. He will be at the helm when the campaign starts and finishes. In fact MT. Roraback is predicting victory for the Landon-Knox ticket right now and as- serting that Connecticut will give the g.o.p. ticket handsome vote.
 Considerable attention is called to the fact that early this spring State Chair man Roraback was backing Governor Landon for the nomination. We don't doubt but what the canny head of the central committee did exactly that, be- cause so far as we can see 1t became pret- ty evident long before the republicans went to Cleveland for their convention that the Kansan was one who would emerge the victor, even if any of the other potential candidates gave him battle for the nomination.
 < Therefore 1t was pretty good politics on the part of MT. Roraback to run with the favorite, because If his career is going to close in blaze Of glory 1n Connectlcut, he must secure help other than that which he can secure in the state. That has been proved in the last two state elec- tions. Four years ago after witnessing the downfall of his ace candidate, former Governor John Trumbull, and two years ago after seeing the doughty States At- torney, Hugh Acorn of Hartford County, fall prey to the sharp-shooting and i'm" perturbable Wilbur L. Cross, MT. Rora- back must have realized that unusual ef- forts were necessary.
 What he will do this fall remains to be seen, but certainly he will make su- prenne effort to cap his career as state chairman with return to full power. He won't be satisfied with merely seeing the state go for Landon, as so many repub- licans were proudly predicting at the be- ginning of 1886, but who have recently refrained from making any predictions No, he will want to see Connecticut all republican again. That's big order and anything that will help to insure it's de- livery will be used by the g.o.p. chieftain, even if 1t means getting on the Landon bandwagon.

Who Owns the Shore?

The question of the rights of property owners along shore fronts has always led to perplexing situations, frequent re- course to the courts, and many injunc- tions concerning the same rights of oc- cupancy, etc. Judge Arthur F. Els has just handed down decision that probably will be quoted far and wide in this re- spect and which may be used as the basis for future settlements in similar litiga- ton. He places title in the State to beach property between high and low water marks, the same to be held in trust for the public use.
 The case in question involved removal of sand for commercial purposes by concern which owned its own beach property in the town of Madison. The company by the ruling of the superior court is enjoined from removing sand between high and low water marks AS we recall it now efforts have been made during legislative sessions to clear up the right of title to such property as beaches, particularly where complaints were being registered on the removal of Seashore sand.
 Judge ELS in his ruling says, "Connec- ticut law is liberal to the upland owner. Because of the nature of our coast with it's innumerable flats, generous provision has been made as to occupancy by him. But this is a real sand beach, directly on the shores of the Sound and our law says the title is in the State. The defendant is therefore enjoined from taking sand and gravel between ordinary high and low water marks for the purpose of using or selling it for commercial purposes. The judgment will contain provisions to that effect. ."

other British domlnions and colonies. Our British neighbor, Canada, as our people well know, is our best foreign customer.
 All in all, the British people today, the world over, are pretty good friends of ours, even though English merchants and manufacturers sometimes resent this preference for our goods in outlying parts of the empire. And American sentiment toward them is kindlier than 1t used to be. The Revolutionary War is long way off now, especially since the World War and recent developments on the European continent. These two leading world powers really have good deal in common.

Sleeping Car Linens

The Pullman Company reveals itself as the worlds greatest housekeeper." Amer ican railroads annually "sleep" one-fifth of the population of the United States. The job requires nine million pieces of linen. Four million towels, two million sheets, three-quarter million pillow slips, five hundred thousand blankets and pil- lows, 250000 mattresses, and 150,000 white jackets for porters are the main items. It takes 100000 replacments a year to keep this stock intact.
 The big problem lies in distribution. There are 5000 or more sleeping cars in service. Each must have at all times its full quota of towels, sheets, etc. Linens must be left for laundering and picked up again at 100 railway supply depots scattered over the country. Will this revelation of the problems of an imper- sonal corporation make American travel CTS return all those Pullman towels which are always getting mixed up with the family luggage? Or will 1t just make them little prouder of their treasure trove?

Waterbury showed pretty good record for the Fourth of July celebration. Com ing as 1t did on weekend it made the chances of escaping scotfree bit harder: It would be hard to say what the odds of passing safely through a holiday weekend are right now for the average notorist. but certainly they must have dropped considerably this past weekend as result of the many fatalities all through the nation. Therefore, we think Waterburi- ans deserve a little credit for exercising caution and safety at all times, whether motoring, swimming or letting off fire. works. Incidentally we noticed bit more noise around the city this year than in the last few that we have had the ban on fireworks. Perhaps there is less re- gard for this statute now that 1t has been in effect for several years. It doesn't seem, though, as if public opinion would ever countenance return of sale or dis charge of fireworks by individuals.

There is a lot of talk these days about balancing the budget. Most of this comes from republicans who use 1t as an argu- ment against continuance of the Roose- welt administration. But if you take the word of Professor Robert M Haig of Columbia U., there is no need to balance the budget as an economic necessity right now. Tn fact he urges an unbalanced budget. He declares that if the budget is balanced right away 1t will result in 8 staggering increase in taxes. That's ob- vious. We're in the midst of a great ef- fort now to restore economic rormalcy. Until that occurs, much unorthodox business will be transacted.

Political Promises and How They Flop
By BRUCE CATION

The politician lives by promises and forecasts, and 1t can be a cruel thing to remind him of them. It can also be e great deal of fun.
 Two fine examples of this are to be found in 0 pair of remarkably ill-natured little books --"SurpluS Prophets" (Viking: 4i), and "AEn- eria Today" Jefferson House: 36 centS).
 Tho first recalls the dour proph- ecies of the anti-New Dealers and subjects the prophets to ridicule. The second does just the opposite, picking Up some of Mir. Roosevelt's campaign promises and extracting c few sardonic chuckles from the contemplation of what happened to them.
 In Surplus Prophets? for in- stance, VIC find Mr. Hoovers dole- full prediction that grass would grow in the streets, followed by quotations from the financial col- ul1ns showing the rise of business in I036 to near prosperity levels.
 We find John J. Raskob issuing a Liberty league statement telling how he inadeia competence by hard work and self denial-and then get 6 glimpse of his letter to the House of Morgan thanking the House for cutting him in on Alleghenys pre- ferred list.
 And, in America Today" we see Mir. Rooseyelt's promises to cut ex- penditures and balance the budget set alongside newspaper headiines telling of progressively increasing expenditures and Q progressively un- balanced budget.
 His promise to maintain Q sound currency appears opposite Q head line of 1884 telling of dollar re- valuation.
 And 50 it goes. Whichever side you are on, you will enjoy ct least one of these books. It may be that you will get 6 kick out of both of them.

A cruel critic of the American people might point out, apropos of the attempt by Q group in Fairfield County to establish Q national hol- iday in tribute to the folk fore, hi0- tory, crafts, morality and the kind- liness of the American Indian" that in the United States, the only good race is 6 dead racc., For two hum dred and fifty years, the white ln- vaders harried and robbed the In. dian; now that he has nothing left to lose, the invaders think kindly of his virtues.
 Such criticism of the American attitude toward the Indian iS not wholly valid. As 6 matter of fact, there are probably as many refcr- enccs to the noble redskin in our literature as there are to the paint cd vafmit. Coopers' gcalping and burning hostiles were nicely bal- anced by the two friendly MohicaIls. The same boys who got their liter- ary ilourishment on dime thrillers of the another redskin bit the dust" variety could reel off, Phil Biood's Leap," with it's

 Whatever the past feeling of the white man to the Indian, the red mans giorieg are of the past. In the East generally, he has all but lost his identity. Tn the West, he lives chiefly on reservations which the greed of white stetlers has sadly reduced even from the n1iserly share of the country'g resources they represented when they were estab- lished. To Dc sure, in recent years an enlightened administration of tn Indian Bureau has protected what the Indians have managed to retain and, better yet, has tried to restore as much of the old culture as modern conditions will permit. None the less, the day of the 1n| dian has passed.
 Whether or not the proclamation of Q national Indian Day" Is the best way to commemorate an all but vanished race may be questionable. The country already has Q ple- thora of days of the sort. But with the object of the Fairfield group, to accord beiated ''honor, gratitude and admiration to Q noble race which held in perfect trust the New World which they loved but did not
