This community was deeply saddened
and shocked on Monday to hear of the
death of Aleric Harvey in the Libby
hospital on the previous night. Aleric
had been taken to Libby on Saturday

vain effort to save his life. His death
was due to an old injury, possibly one
sustained while swimming last summer.

peritonitis.
Aleric was lad of quiet and un-
assuming manner with sterling char
acter. He was fond OF athletics and
sports of all kinds and his recreation
was always Of wholesome nature. He
was outstanding in scholastic achieve
ment in both grades and high school,
from which he graduated with the class
of 1884.

Is It True What He Says?

A paraphrase on that current popular song might be = "Is It True What He Says About WPA?" Meaning, of course, what was J. Kenneth Bradley of Vest port, state senator and Young Republi- can leader, trying to start when he claimed that the WpA was just reeking with corruption. It is full of graft in every city and town where WPA workers are hired and projects are set afoot is what the Westport republican stated posi- lively and openly speaking at Bristol session a week or so ago. It took a few days for democrats to come back, but the storm is now ready to break around MT. Bradley's ears.
 Bristol, In particular, is bit disturbed about the claim, because the remarks came from Bristol and there is some fear that perhaps Bristol was aimed at by the outspoken state senator. If so, then democrats up there want the city's repub- lican mayor to come forward with his side of the story. Democratic Town Chair man Charles J. Drury has already asked Mayor Harding to confirm or deny the claim. Ex-Mayor Joseph Dutton, demo- crat, says, "A terrible thing to say. can say that as long as was mayor there never was any graft and don't think there is graft under Mayor Harding's ad- xninistration. I think it would be well to ask him. Under WPA no money is handled locally; all checks come from Hartford. ."
 Perhaps all that State Senator Bradley meant was that the graft and corruption only existed where democratic officials are concerned. We don't presume that he would include any g.o.p, officials in his scathing denunciation. It's his business to stir up trouble in circles where 1t will do the most harm to democrats The thing for the democrats to do is to keep their hands clean and their records in such order that they can promptly con- found just such critics as State Senator Bradley and others who will continue to lombard this state with all such criti- cisms from now until next November We think the records will prove sufficient to undo republican claims.

Free From Bonded Debt

Connecticut is in a unique position to- day. It is practically free from bonded indebtedness State Treasurer John s. AddiS reported last week that funds were on hand to retire $11 100000 worth of bonds that the state had issued since 1911. The remaining two million dollars worth of bonds he further stated, could be retired within the next few weeks as more funds accumulated. We presume claim for producing this state of affairs in Connecticut will be voiced by politically minded persons in the coming months It were better not to do so, for it is feat in which everyone regardless of politics shares equally.
 With regard to this healthy state of affairs in our state State Treasurer Addis recommends that the same system which now makes it possible to end our bonded indebtedness be used to wipe out the states deficit of $14,000,000. He would have funds accumulated in a sinking fund until such time as their return will be sufficient as to make up the balance necessary to clean up the entire deficit. We were wondering if that might not be conducive at this time to a Splurge of spending, produced by the thought that 1t could all be taken care of in the future.
 However, MT. AddiS must know well whereof he speaks His advice in this matter might be the best. A bond issue now by the state certainly would be easily floated He says, Connecticut could float all the bonds it wished, at IA per cent or even less ,. "It'S a question if the incoming Legislature would be per- suaded to do anything like this, though legislative bodies in 1911 and 1921 did authorize bond issues. There have not been any in IS years and the tendency seems to be away from them for fear of abuses. But the system has proved so effortless and productive of results, it might well be followed again. .. ..,

being done abroad Go meet economic problems since the World War. Capital ism seems to have entered new phase, which is not understood clearly by every body. It is a striking fact, however, that some nations, particularly some small, democratic nations, seem to have come through the depression with less com fusion and disaster than others. Among these Sweden, a nation of free and highly intelligent people, seems to have fared surprisingly well, without yielding, as so many other countries have, to extreme programs of Fascism or Socialism.
 It is good to know what other countries are doing, whether good or bad. By such knowledge we can at least understand our own system better. And as far as the average American citizen is concerned, foreign tours or foreign investigators are not necessary. Newspapers, magazines and books increasingly provide such in- formation for readers who want 1t.

The state of Washington may be proud of one of its democratic representatives, but the rest of the country isn't. We refer to Representative Marion Zioncheck whose antics of recent months have con- vinced great many people that Wash ington harbors all types of individuals in legislative season. According to Seattle attorney, Representative Zioncheck will be renominated and reelected this fall. What with IT democrats and republicans hot after Zioncheck's position, it remains to be seen if this statement is mere bragging or utter foolishness.

We rather thought there must be more to 1t than was contained in the first report. We refer to the row in Hartford precipitated by an erring motorist who went to city court judge, protesting a suspension of his drivers license, and asked that the charge against him be changed. He claimed that the State Motor Vehicle Department had told him to go to the court and have the count changed. The retort of the court was short but definite. .. You go back to the State Motor Vehicle Department and tell them to run their affairs and we will run ours. ." Commissioner Connor, however, solves the situation by stating publicly that he nor any member of his department would not urge court charge to be changed. The motorist was simply told that his license could not be returned to him, unless the court reversed its decis- ion or fined him on different charge.

Philippine Blunders

A book on Philippine Independence by Grayson Kirk is recommended to both political parties by an independent re- viewer, as good exposition of the mis- takes made by this country in its big colonial experiment. "Of course" says the reviewer, tour first and greatest mis- take was in grabbing the islands at all. Against the advice of our wisest and most patriotic statesmen, we went on an trr1- perialistic spree, took up the White Mans Burden, obeyed Manifest Destiny, and acquired colonial possessions not con- templated by the Constitution and not provided for by the wisdom of the found. Ing fathers. And when the burden got too burdensome, we gave the islands their independence = and got them into the worst mess they've been in yet"
 The Filipinos have already begun to see for themselves what they're getting into. In spite of their strong desire for freedom, much of 1t instilled in them by American example, many question the value of political freedom If its price is economic ruin. Moreover, in this inter- mediate period, there are still many Americans who hesitate to let the Philip pines go. Their status and ours both become more perilous with the growing uncertainties of western Asia. It would be a tragic jest of fate if we had to fight another costly war for the Philippines, even while we are trying to let them go
