WE ARE LUCKY

Wild acclaim of President Roosevelt by MIL

QUESTION OF DIVERSION

No further diversion of any highway funds to
the general fund or for any other than highway
purposes is contemplated in the tentative budget
for the next two years just submitted By the State
Highway and Public Works Commission to the Ad'
visory Budget Commission, and which Will even
tually become the request of the highway Depart
ment to the 1887 General Assembly.
Thus the highway commission is regarded as
serving notice on all corners that in the 1887 Gen.
eral Assembly it is going to again resist all efforts
TO divert any part of its revenue to other than
highway purposes It is generally agreed, OF course
that an effort will again be made by the school
forces and others to continue the diversion of at
least S1,oOO,Oo0 year into the general fund, to
be used for school purposes, just as was done by
the 1893 and 1885 General Assemblies, but the
diversionsts are going to have harder shedding In
the Forthcoming 1887 Assembly than in several
years.-Concord Times.

The fine thing about the repub-
lie and the democracy is that
either form of government gives
the individual sufficient liberty so
that he is on his own enough to
compel him to grow spiritually.
Of course, every time the going
gets hard, there are always per-
sons who want to turn their whole
Ives over to some body or some
thing and be taken care of; but
that policy is bad business; it dis.
courages individual growth and
paves the way for tyranny and
dcspotism. Paternalism in govern
ment OF in guardian, always drifts
into despotism unless actuated by
deep, sincere loVe-and even then
it may become tyrannical. If you
don't believe that. look around
YOU at the heads of some families

BEHIND THE SCENES
IN THE CAMPAIGN

Sional clccuonS or 1880.
One OF the Landon handicaps in
the campaign was the fact that
most Republican members had
voted for New Deal legislation and
hence had no separate record on
which TO stand.
Landon, himself, for that mat
ter had once supported some OF
the most important New Deal pro-
grams.
Hamilton and Casey arc too
sensible TO plan any immediate
barrage Of statements attacking
the administration. They will
wait for the breaks-and hope for
such luck as came TO Nicholson
with the depression.
They will be aided by DR.. DIN

who will seEye as an adviser, al
though he is resuming his profess
serial duties at New Haven.
CASEY is a keen, hard-boiled.

man, schooled in politics and pop
ular with other newspapermen. He
worked in Washington and Hart
ford, Conn, with the United
Press, and in New York with the
Evening Graphic before becoming
night city editor and then politi-
cal editor of the New York Eve
ming Journal. He covered the
Hall-MillS murder case and many
other big stories.
Early in the 1886 campaign, he
was made director Of publicity a,

FREEDOM AND US

There is no doubt that there is
certain class of persons who are
not only unfit to participate III
tho running Of a republic or of
democracy, but are unfit to run
their own lives. Do such persons
need a dictator?
No, not a dictator, but guild
ance and restraint. They need to
be steered along and restricted
within certain limits, and given
freedom within certain limits.
They should not only be allowed
to exercise their own judgment,
but they should be so placed that
they are compelled to use their
own judgment within such limits
as will not destroy them should
they err. And they should also be
required to employ and exercise
their powers of integrity.

STARLINCS LEAVE
 WEST MAIN NESTS
Winged Pests Migrate From City and Every.
 one Is Happy

During the past week & nightly check has been made on the habitat or what used to be the habitat, of the pesky English starlings who used to convene nightly on the trees at the lower end of the north side of the green. Little has been said about the lack of birds, or the lack of evidence of the birds, during this time for fear of their returning. At any rate the birds have disappeared and no one at the park department office knows where they have gone And nobody cares!
 Several suggestions as to the req son for the birds leaving Waterbury were offered. Some suggested the intricate scheme which was planned to make them evacuate, the one which had to do with electrically charged owls, had thoroughly frightened them away. Another offered the opinion they might have simply migrated because of the ap- preaching winter months. This idea was quickly sidetracked by an ex- pert who pointed out they do no such thing. They usually come into the city to live in the winter.
 It was finally decided that the birds, which had become such a public nuisance on the north side of the green, were really sensitive lot at heart and could not bear to see themselves alluded to as pests and winged disturbers of the peace" Or perhaps they just went away somewhere to vote?

First reports on the annual For get-Me-Not drive will be read at the semi-monthly meeting of the Disabled American Veterans to be held at 8 o'clock tonight at Knights of Pythias hall. The drive began yesterday in the public and paro- chial schools of the city, and will continue until Armistice Day.
 The meeting will be followed with social period during which time the election returns will be brought to the gathering by means of a radio which has been installed in the hall.
 In furthering plans for the drive for the welfare of disabled veterans of this city, the following tribute has ben given in memory:
 "The Forget-Me-Not"
 I am the little Forget-Me-Not-- the modest litle flower with sky blue petals--blue because 1t was almost forgotten--blue because 1t does not want others to forget--the flower of remembrance that speaks for others the official flower of the Disabled American Veterans of the World War, on whose behalf I am to be offered for sale during the period from November End to Armistice day.
 speak, not only in honor of the dead, but, in memory and for serv- ice of the living disabled-for the benefit of those, whose silent and suffering, are inarticulate. recall to you the pulsating beating of drums, the rhytmic martial with marching feet, the inspiring enthu- siasm of war days, the patriotic spirit of inspired youth willing to sacrifice itself for others.
 remind you of the efforts of those who returned, once more, in spite of physical and enrvous handi- caps, to try and become self-sup- porting, self respecting citizens. I bring to mind their disappointments discouragements - their desperate disheartening efforts to rehabilitate themselves, only finally to be com pelled to ask for help from Uncle Sam, and then to find that, before adequate assistance could be grant, ed, they must first legally prove by technical detailed, factual affidavit evidence, the service origin of their disabilities.
 serve my purpose when you have decorated yourself with me. I have the satisfaction of knowing that, when you have so decorated your selves the silver which you gave in exchange for me will be used by the D. A. v. to accomplish the greatest god for the greatest number of the war time disabled and their de- pendents. I know that will have enabled the only congressionally chartered spokesman of, by. and for the World Wars disabled-the D. A.. V.-to render temporary financial relief to thousands of under com pensated unemployed disabled men during emergency periods, and that will also have enabled the Re- mobilization officers of this organiz- ation to extend to additional thou sands of discouraged, disabled vet-
