understanding and sympathy with the cause of peace" Such a league, Cana dian delegate said, "could demand a new league of nations which would not be overshadowed by the fears and hates of European nations"
 The speaker put his finger upon the chief weakness of the Geneva League. Its usefulness to the New World, and doubt less to Asia, too, has been weakened by it's primary concern with European quarrels. Possibly that could not be helped, but it is the fact. There has been much talk, from time to time, of an American league for the Western Hemisphere. There really has been such an organization, in the form of the Pan-American Union, with headquarters in Washington. But it has never been very effective for two reasons.
 The Latin-Americans have feared the power and self-interest of the United States, which is as strong as all the rest of them together; and Canada, the sec- ond power in this hemisphere, has never been a member, being connected instead with the federation known as the British Empire. Nevertheless, such 8 league as this Canadian delegate is thinking of, may be reality some day.

Crazy Weather

Something certainly ought to be done about the weather. It was bad enough when the Southwest turned into "dust bowl" for lack of it's normal rainfall, while the southwestern states got plenty of water. But lately the weather went violently into reverse, and as one dis gusted observer says, turned the dust bowl into mud puddle and the south eastern puddle into brick kiln. Amarillo, Texas, which normally has two and 8 half inches of rain in May, had nine inches this time. North and South Car olina, which usually have three and half inches in May, had only half an inch.
 It all comes, meterologists explain, from confusion of the Thighs" and "lows", areas of relatively high and low barometric pressure. They have been getting out of their regular course lately, meeting and mixing up where and when they had no business to. There ought to be law. The ancients had that fixed up to suit them, with god named Eolus in charge of the winds. But even he went on tear sometimes.

Speaking at a New Britain gathering last week Clinton c. Nichols of the State Highway Department stated that already $5,000,00O has been spent in acquiring land for the Merritt Highway. That sum accounts for 1,643 acres of land, which seems like a great deal, but probably is considerably less than the total acreage comprising the completed highway will be. The total cost of the road to date is $7,500,000 which is half of what has been estimated at times for the total cost. It is practically understood, though, that ulti- mately the road will run into many more millions than those just covered by the bond issues

ferocity to the fight, just as 1t has encouraged other stepping" tnove- ments, and acted as a standing in- vitation to intra- -party war.
 Tn the long run 1t has certainly not fulfilled the original purpose of improving the appearance of unity; and several even among the south- ern states have shown themselves glad to abandon 1t. The others are content to take In return rather vague promise of future reap- portionment of delegate strength more in accord with voting strength. As to that, one must wait for the promise to be fulfilled; but in the fact that the rule could be surren- dered bw the south and the promise given by the rest of the party one may read another sign of the ten dency toward Q disappearance ot the peculiar section structure of the democracy. As New Deallsn has replaced it's older principles 1t has begun more and more to think of itself as 6 fully national party rath- or than Q coalition, as expressing 6 national radical-conservative di- vision rather than the older sec- tional and local differences on which 1t rested. Whether 1t will continue to think 50 after November is an- other matter.

No Walk-Out

Now that the heat and excitement of the national convention of the democratic party at Philadelphia last week is over, some thought may be given to various incidents connected with the event. or primary interest to the state is the "Walk-out" of Governor Wilbur L. Cross during the height of the convention. The governor, however, insists that it wasn't "walk-out", but merely returned to Connecticut because he figured that there was more business at home for him to attend to than at Philly. That remark might mean more than it seems to.
 For as we look at it., Connecticuts three-time governor did not figure any too prominently in the doings at Philadel- phia. Perhaps he figured as prominently as any of the delegation of which, of course, he was merely member with the exception of Attorney General Homer s. Cummings. But there were plenty of Cross enthusiasts who thought that the governor might have been pushed just bit to the foreground in view of his splen- did record here and the cooperation he has always given the Roosevelt admin iStration.
 Still there is vague unrest in demo- cratic circles right now that perhaps the chief executive might have been DlC unified at the failure of the convention bosses to include him among the digni- taries chosen to second the renomination of President Roosevelt. It was evidently choice between the governor and the U. S. Attorney General, with the latter being of the administration getting the nod, which many will certainly say he was entitled to not merely by virtue of his position, but by his record.
 We're inclined to string along with the governor. He probably felt that in view of the crowded conditions at Philadel- phia, the coming of another hectic state campaign that he could safely return home, transact some necessary business and return to Philadelphia for the &C., ceptance speech. We read no underlying motives other than these into the so- called "walk-out".

So Speaks Our President

Anyone who heard President Franklin D. Roosevelt deliver his speech accepting the democratic nomination for President Saturday night must have been impressed by the vigor of the address, the force of the delivery, and the logic of the words. While it may not rank as the greatest public address President Roosevelt has made, it still must be regarded as one of the finest that he has made under the pressure of all outside circumstances. In the face of hotter fire than even was de- livered back in 1882 he lived up to all eX- pectations.
 He was all that really great and hu- man President of these United States should be. We really believe that his ac- ceptance speech if analysed and broken down into component parts will go far to assure the voters of this nation that it may continue to place it's faith in the democratic party and it's present stand ard-bearer. There was every consideration for the people and none for the vested interests now struggling so fiercely to re- gain their lost prestige
 It was just as the President and other speakers have stated-four years ago everyone was looking for someone to guide them out of the wilderness. Once in sight of safety those who clamored the loudest for help were quite willing to continue along the same track that for merly was theirs. They had learned noth- ing by their experience. But it is quite evident that the forces of money and power are not to hold sway in our nation as once upon time they did. They still must contend with this man in the White House.
 We are not yet completely restored to equilibrium. No one knows this better than President Roosevelt. He realizes that the fight he started in 1883 is only partially won. There must be no let-up in his work if he is to win the entire na- tion back to normalcy. The nation listening to Roosevelt Saturday night, realizing the sincerity of purpose, must also have felt the same about it that he did-a continuation of democratic gov ernment is necessary for adherence to the recovery road.

determination of snapping turtles in Connecticut waters is an annual custom of the State Board of Fisheries and Game. It's good one, too, as any game warden or individual interested in wild life con- servation can tell you. In years gone by Connecticut waters were not infested, as they are today, with this species of turtle. But they came from somewhere and have multiplied at prodigious rate. And this continues, too, despite the efforts of game thousands of them are taken from streams and ponds and killed, but when summer rolls around again the turtles seem to be just as numerous They not only devour immense quantities of young fish, but also young waterfowl. And cases where full-grown ducks have been pulled under water and drowned are not unknown. It is the duty of everyone who can aid in this campaign of extermina- tion to lend their aid.

The two-thirds rule, though Q celebrated tradition Of the demo- cratic party, has not for the most part been of any very direct prac-
 tical effect. When the Jackson forces originated 1t in 1882 their mo-
 tive was probably not to defeat cal-
 houn for the vice-presidency-for they could have done that anyway but simply to give Q more impressive appearance of unity to the nomina- ton of Van Buren. In 1S44, curl" ously enough, the rule was perpetu- ated with the assent of Van Buren, instructed delegates as Q means for effecting 6 revolt against him and preventing his nomination; and he remains as the only candidate fin the party's history who, with 6 Ina- jority of the votes on the first bal- lot, was defeated by the two.thirds rule. .a-a
 But the incident established the tradition. After the Civil War the EUIg SuTVIVSQ Gb tsAk 1AAAVEHb1A BNWA - anty to the south. Since the south's loyalty to the party made 1t vlr- tually inevitable that presidential candidates would be chosen from elsewhere, the rule was maintained to provide the south with Q veto pawer over the choice. But the veto has never been exercised. After Van Buren, Champ Clark in 1912 was the only man to fail of the two-thirds after getting Q fnapority of the votes, and 1t was not Q united south which stopped him. Clark, more over, did not get his majority until the tenth ballot and began to lose strength again on the eleventh, and 1t is perhaps too much to say that he must have been chosen without the rule. Tn the other titanic bat ties within the party, like that be- tween Smith and McAdoo in 1924, neither leader ever reached Q ma jority of oil the votes. But the fact that the rule facilitated the efforts of each to stop the other added

How a Circus Looks to Its Press Agent
 By BRUCE CAPTION


 A waggish New York newspaper man once described Dexter Fellows as "the press agent with whom Barnum 6 Bailey and Ringing Brothers circus has been associated for so many years; and, consider ing MT. Fellows long pre-eininence as Q circus press agent, the express sion was almost justified.
 Anyway, Dexter Fellows has been in the circus world for a great many years, and the stories he cannot tell about that strange and fascinating world are not worth telling. Now, with the aid of Andrew A. Freeman, he has put his "reminiscences into book form.
 His book is called "This Way to the Big Show" (Viking: $3.50), and anyone who ever got kick out of the circus should find 1t a rich mine of good reading.
 MT. Fellows started out as 6 cir GUS press agent way back in the sos. and has been at 1t ever since. He spent years with Buffalo Bill, and in his book he gives @ full- length portrait of that remark able observation-disclosures and show.nan, soft touch for out-of- luck old-timers, Q gargantuan drinker when the mood seized him, and altogether one of the most picturesque and colorful men the Old West ever produced.
 So Mir. Fellows tells about him, and about the Ringlings, and about the famous Lillian Leitzel, and about the strange people and the odd events of circus life.
 Re gives an inside picture of the endlessly complicated ana ex- pensive organization of e modern circus-leaving you, incidentally, to wonder how on earth a circus ever makes any money--and losses in an almost endless number of anecdotes of the big top.
 Altogether, 1t is an ultra-rcad- able book.
