SHRIMPER AT SUNSET.
Chemistry

The canal is pink and silver
Under a pink and silver sky.
Across a narrow dixie
The lone figure of an old man
Move slowly.
He stoops,
Drawing his tiny shrimp-trap
From the twill water
Then puts it back
With a single ripple
On the tinted smoothness.
Silently
His double silhouette plods on:
One, lone and dark
On the thin dixie,
Against the pink and silver sky;
One reflected,
Black and slow,
In the pink and silver water.

Not A Candidate

The old adage of setting a thief to catch thief could be neatly paraphrased today after listening to former Governor Alfred N. Smiths speech of Saturday night by stating that it takes a democrat to tell another democrat what's wrong with him. For some few months now we have been listening to Q labored and creaking attack on the New Deal policies of President Franklin D. Roosevelt by such 6. o. p. spokesmen as Herbert Hoover, our eX- president. It remained for gentleman who failed to get to the White House to produce the perfect bone-crushing attack.
 In the eyes of the republicans of the nation the Smith attack of Saturday night was masterpiece. They regard 1t as the hiRhlight of his career. Yet he has given better speeches than the one he delivered Saturday night; he has been far more eloquent; he has been far more logical. It was, however, what republicans were hoping 1t would be-unequivocal opposi- ton to the New Deal as given to us by the Roosevelt administration. And before be- ginning his arraignment MT, Smith de- clared himself not candidate for "any nomination..
 If there was one part of the Smith at- tack to which many democrats, loyal fol- lowers of MT. Roosevelt, might have nodded sad approval 1t was that in which he pointed out the failure of Congress to meet the situation. He said, "1n the name of Heaven, where is the independence of Congress?" No doubt 1t flew out the win dow some years ago when Congress re- fused to take advantage of It's constitu- tional rights and allowed control of the currency of the realm to be placed in private and not public hands. This hap pened before President Roosevelt came Into office; 1t was not of his doing.
 MT. Smiths concern for the Constitu- ton is felt in many sections of the na- ton. But even Al Smith didn't say what should have been done "constitu- tionally after March 4, 1888, when the nation was so sadly in the doldrums. MT. Hoover Is very apt now in his remarks on the failures of others; he has nothing to say of his own lack of inaction or his readiness to declare prosperity is Just around the corner. MT. Roosevelt at his Inauguration was in tight spot. He re- sorted to extraordinary means to extri- cate both himself and the nation. Keep that in mind. If he has leaned too far, perhaps warnings of the type delivered by MT. Smith will be effective. Democrats might do we'll to remove their factional differences, correct their individual faults, sum up their accomplishments and fail- ures that in the end this glorious nation of ours may be ruled wisely.

More Seemly TriaIs

Before the Hauptmann case recedes from view, it may Do well to consider the recommendations of William L. Ransom, president of the American Bar Associa- ton, regarding the "hagrant ofienses" which he says characterized Haupt- mann's trial. The association has had Q group of members studying official rec ords and newspaper reports of the case, with respect to It's atmosphere and pub licity.
 He says: "The committee has not been concerned with the guilt or innocence of Hauptmann, but has dealt only with the aspects of the trial which are deemed to be open to the criticism of the legal pro- fession and the public, and should not be permitted to recur in the adTninistra- tion of criminal justice.
 "The important question is whether a trial so conducted was in accord with public sense of justice and propriety The ards of propriety and ideals of justice are not again flouted. The trial of an acc cuSed person by newspapers and radio does not constitute an impartial atmos- phere."
 Most newspapermen will readily grant this. The American press, on the whole, is not exactly proud of the way the Hauptmann trial was handled, either by the court or by the newspapers them selves. Presumably justice was done, but 1t is not good public policy to turn a criminal lawsuit into circus. The law yers will have the support of all respect able newspapers-w which constitute big majority of the American press-in re- storing dignity and decoruln to American courts.

Will It Make a Difference?

Throwing the weight of the realtors of Connecticut behind a general sales tax bill may make some difference this fall when political candidates line up for their biennial battle, but with all the influence that was used to pass such measure in 1885, we are doubtful if the new pressure will be sufficient to make any change in public opinion. The public seems to be opposed right now to any more taxes, particularly those touching the pocket book of the average consumer. And that's where the general sales tax hits home.
 But a fortnight stand of the realtors of the state on the question of lowering property taxes is desirable. For good many years it has been more or less agreed that taxes of real estate were out of proportion. Every so often someone would make suggestion that something be done about it. Then ensued spas modic attempt to interest legislators or other state officials in the problem. Some were interested to the point of making suggestions; others were interested only to the point of how many votes eSpouSal or opposition meant.
 When the Legislature a year ago battled with the sales tax it was real battle. But in the end it was knocked down and few substitutes offered in it's place. However, people of Connecticut should not lose sight of the fact that in the past few years we have shifted out taxes around quite bit without appar- ently relieving the burden of the property owner. We have imposed cigarette and liquor taxes, the results of which have gone far beyond expectations and esti- mates. We have maneuvered motor vehicle taxes to the point where the car owner believes he is getting off easier in the past, because his registration fee has been cut in half.
 All such efforts haven't seemed to help the situation for the property owner. He's evidently just as much taxed now as be- fore. And the main reason is because the actual cost of government has not de- creased. So long as it remains at it's present high figure every class of tax payer will pay. When we drop the cost of government every class of taxpayer will benefit. But not until then.

Warren J. Scott, director of the Bureau of Sanitary Engineering of the State De- partment of Health, last week recon1- mended to people who are accustomed to take their vacations at the shore that they satisfy themselves as to the purity of the waters In which they bathe. Every one must be aware of the fact that many parts of Long Island Sound have been referred to in recent years as the next thing to cesspools Pollution of the Sound by sewage from nearby communi- ties is Q grave menace to the future of the entire Connecticut seaside. Says MT. Scott, People along the shore should interest themselves In protecting the rec- reational assets of their bathing areas. They should in each city and town ask what progress Is being made. Residents of inland communities should also see that effective treatment is given to com. munity waste It Is tri'N that this pro- gram costs money, b.. the results are worthy of the cost. ." And how worthy time will prove conclusively.

Regardless of feelings 1t was good news to read that the Democratic National Committee had paid off John J. Raskob, former national chairman, for the many loans he had made to finance campaigns in the past When he was actively inter- ested In promoting the future of the party Mr. Raskob gave most generously. It would never have done for the party to remain indebted to MT. Raskob with an arrangement of feeling such as now exists. There will be better feeling be- committee can and will be conducted along business lines.

DROPPING ONE SCHOOL DOC. TOR NOT AN ECONOMY
 ACT


 ACT
 January 24, 1e30, Editor, Waterbury Democrat:
 The action of the board of health in leaving the vacancy caused by the resignation of one school phy- sician unfilled' and recommending the dropping of another examiner, is Q measure of economy which which should register strenuous ob. jections. Despite the diminished registration of school children, the amount of work which must be done by the school physician is away out of proportion to the compensation received. Personally I think that the physicians are un- wise to accept the small pittance offered them for taking care of thousands of school children in tho way of tedious examinations and immunizations yearly. By way Cf contrast there are Q group of phy. sicians in this city allocated to care for the injuries of city workers in the course of their labor. It costs the city, medically much more yearly to take care of relatively few hundreds city employees than # does to care for the thousands of school children, the health of whom is of vital importance to the devel. opment of the ceming generation. If anything, therefore, the status of the school physician. should be improved. and his pay increased to a degree commensurate with the pay received by other physicians for similar work. Even though in the past school physicians have been exploited as cheap labor due mostly to the fact that any salary, no matter how small, looks good to the young doctor just starting in practice, let's not cheapen them farther.
