Not Too Many Delays

It is to be hoped that delays on the proposed new layout for the Baldwin street bridge at Mill and River streets will not interfere with the plans that were announced some time back for improving this particular traffic hazard. It is high time that the city made the necessary changes in the outline of the street and bridge at this particular point. Discard ing all the criticism leveled at the proj- ect some weeks ago, it is a job that should be well done and also speedily done.
 For good many years the hump in the thoroughfare at this point has been pretty much of traffic hazard. Add to that the blind corners are met on each side Of the bridge and the spot is quickly recog- nized as one demanding some attention Our city fathers have seen fit to give 1t that. A fine plan has been devised to make this spot as perfect Geographically as can be done We sincerely hope now that there won't be any let-up in the work on it.
 According to the Democrat last night there may be some delay in securing the cooperation of the New Haven road. A petition for hearing has already been filed with the Public Utilities Commission relative to replacing the present bridge over the river and railroad tracks and also changing the grade of the same. We don't look for any opposition from the railroad company, as the change will benefit not merely the city but also the railroad. All things being taken into con- sideration this is a matter demanding complete cooperation so that it may be taken care of promptly and not dragged out for several years.

Peace by Persuasion

The Quakers have a five-year plan of international relations. It was recently described by Charles E. Pickett of Phila- delphia, executive secretary of the Amer ican Friends Service Committee. It seems to be primarily plan of persua. sion, turning peoples thoughts toward peace. It is being carried on, MT. Pickett says, in "some Of the hottest spots in Europe" "Our strategy is based on the supremacy of the spirit, on the inherent significance of close fellowship with men and women in distress and in humble effort to understand the strlvings and the ambitions of others"
 There seem to be many such move ments stirring in the world today. Groups DE people in many countries who do not bother with an elaborate organization or spectacular program are, nevertheless, working for peace by just such simple methods. They talk about peace, cuIti- vate friendship, expose the true causes of war. create understanding of the basic hopes and good will of human beings everywhere. It may not De such a weak weapon to lift against war as it seems.

Too Much Noise

This is an era of unprecedented noise, most of which is for commercial and propagandist purposes. One of the most interesting things at the Republican convention was gadget which registered the degree of noise in the hall during political demonstrations. It might De a good thing to put such devices around on the streets, to register the unnecessary noise inflicted upon peaceful citizens.
 In city after city, amplifiers are doing their deadly work to deafen peoples ears and destroy civic peace. Trucks equipped with loudspeakers roam about, blaring forth messages to save the world and sell goods, even invading quiet residence dis tricts for this purpose. And sometimes they blare their internal racket IT or maybe we should say supernal racket from airplanes.
 There are limits to what the human ear can endure and what human patience will stand for Extreme noise defeats it's own purpose. Good orators know this, and also good advertisers. When salesmen of goods and ideas understand 1t more generally, we may come into an era of quiet appeal, which will give the consumer a chance to think and more friendly spirit toward the things advertised.

Selected Poem
THE IVORY PALETTE

THE IVORY PALETTE (Agnes Kendrick Gray in the New York Times) From the Valley of the Kings; now in the Metro ,olitan Museum of Art-Agnes Kendrtck Gray in
 the New York Time1 Safe from the fan of times long winnowing Remains this treasured thing This cherished ivory palette of child, The daughter of a klngl And to oblivion unreconciied. The little cakes of color, darkening 6till to the ivory cling. They sealed within the princess tainted tomb Her childish treasures under H0russ wing; Beneath the hierogyphics in the room Laid by her sandals robe and rinG, Necklace and dolls and glimmering Fresh lotus howefs To comfort her in those first lonely hours. And lest she be confused By shadow-fears and wander tlmcrous They set beside her gold aarcophagus What she had ciung to last-heT paints. haif-used With these her little hands were tashioning The pictures of her far Egyptian day, Crude pyramid and palm and hawk on Wings- Before Osiris called her from her play And faithfully, to death unTeconclied.

Geography formerly was the de- termining factor in the Vice-Presi- dential nominations of both politi- cal parties. That is, when the Presi- dental candidate comes from the east, he is usually balanced by Q Vice.President nominee from the middlewest or the far west, and vice versa.
 There have been only three ex- captions to this general rule in the 20 previous republican conventions. Tn 1860, Colfax of Indiana went on the ticket with Grant of Illinois. And in 1928 and 1882, the repub- lican candidates. Hoover of Cali fornia and Curtis of Kansas, both hailed from states west of the Mis- sissippi, But these three exceptions were really technical rather than actual, because Grant was only nominally an Illinoisian and Hoover only nominally Californian.
 Of course, non-geographical con. alterations also have played Q part in determing the Vice-Presidential nominee. For instance, in 1864 An- drew Johnson, 8 pro-Union Demo- crat, was placed on the Republican ticket with Lincoln in order to ate tract the votes of similarly-minded Democratic. In 1900, Governor The odore Roosevelt was pressed into service partly to capitalize on his Spanish American war popularity, and partly because Boss Platt of New York wanted to get him out of New York State politics.
 The American constitutional sys- them gives little power to the Vice President, and most Vice-PTesidents

Taxing Divorces

More and more Soviet Russia swings back toward the fundamental values of the home and of the family. In the last year there has been increasing agitation for strengthening the position and per- manency of marriage. And now comes the most significant move in the whole trend - proposal to discourage divorces by taxation. It is embodied in the mar riage law that is being drafted to double the tax for each divorce after the first,
 What such a tax might do to some Of our own 100 per cent American divorce court veterans is something to shudder at. But it is worth noticing that the Russians believe that its chief value will be as preventive of nasty marriages. To marry in haste and repent at leisure IS not so good, if the leisure" gets pro- gressively more costly.

The Governor Scores

Governor Wilbur L. Cross fired the first shot in the 1936 democratic campaign m this state at Bridgeport Tuesday night when he declared that Governor Ali M. Tsandon would be the candidate Of the nrohibitionists and not the republicans be- fore the election rolls around in Novem- her And the governor is certainly right in declaring that prohibitionists are start inc to take heart. They haven't been so encouraged in a good many years. But witness the recent WC.T.U. claims of winning back the nation to aridity. You can rest assured that some of this confi- dence is engendered by the Landon nomination.
 Just how such candidacy is going to appeal to the wet East is more than we can understand. The only thing that the republicans can hope to do is to cover UP this side of their candidates sufficiently hoping that too many republican voters, with wet leanings, won't learn Of the can didate's record and proclivities nor place too much stock in them. AS governor Cross said; "He is the last of the national prohibitionists. He was elected governor of Kansas on a national prohibition plat form for which he stood. ..."
 Anybody who cares to recall all the ballyho that was exploded about Cover nor Landon prior to and just after the g.o.p. convention may recall that little or nothing was said about his dry record. There wasn't any attempt to show him up aD a prohibitionist What could this nation expect from the same man who has espoused prohibition if placed in the White House and forced by dry organiza- tions to show his hand. Herbert Hoover floundered around on this question too long, We don't see that Governor Lan- don could do any better.

COLONEL PARKER ONE OI LAST OF ROOsEvELT'S
 ROUGH RIDERS

 Editor, Waterbury Democrat:
 The announcement that Colonel Parker of the lO2nd Regiment dur ing the World War will speak in New Britain on the 4th of July will remind some of the older genera ton of a fact known, probably, to but few of our young people that he is one of the rapidly diminishing number of the comrades of Theo- dore Roosevelt in the Cuban cam- paign.
 Tn what degree the devasting fire of young Farker'S group of gatflngs, forerunners of the modern machine guns, contributed to halt. wipe out, the Spanish attack upon the exposed position held by the untrained Rough RideSs and their companions of the 10th calvary may be a matter of opinion. Ls is a mat ter of interest to reflect that he had the good fortune to stand by the side Of Roosevelt at San Juan Hill, help to decide an encounter which was an important factor in bringing the campaign to an early conclusion favorable to American arms.
 One may well speculate upon what would have been Theodore Roosevelt's reaction to some of the questions with which the Ameri- can people are confronted on this 9th og July. He probably would not have gone fishing.

More and more it looks as if Connecti- cut in the next ten-year period would see the disappearance of the trolley car. The Connecticut Company has just applied for permission to give up a, great many miles of trolley tracks in Ansonia, Nau- gatuck, Waterbury, Bridgeport, and New Britain. In our own case the trolley service has been given up for quite a few months, as it involves the Waterbury Naugatuck run, which has not been in service since last winter. It was dis continued and busses substituted when the city started to build the new bridge on South Main street near Washington avenue. It has never been restarted and never will be now, of course. However, it looks now as if complete trolley service between Waterbury and New Haven via the valley route would be abolished. The New Britain line to be given up is that to Plainville, an old and historic run. Pretty soon we'll see even the city tracks being replaced completely with,busses.

For at least ten more years there will be no radio advertising in Great Britain. This is hard to understand over here in America, where the commercial program today is about the only one that may be heard. Of course there are few studio programs here and there on independent stations, but when you strike the net works today at any hour you will be apt to listen to sponsored program. But Britain does it differently and seems to succeed. too. The difference over there lies in the fact that owners of receiving sets pay license fees, amounting to 10 Shillings annually.
