Money for Temperance.

The Pennsylvania Liquor Control
Board, in cooperation with the States
Highway Safety Council, has decided to
undertake a campaign of education on
the menace of the drunken driver. The
chairman of the board, Walter Grosscup,
cites this menace as the chief problem
with which his board Is now contend
ing and explains that part of the cam
paign of education will consist of the
display, in stores and other public places,
Of posters and actual photographs por-
traying the tragedies and heavy property
losses suffered at the hands of the
drunken driver, whom he describes as:
-" A type Of driver with no more
sense of social responsibility than an
idiot with tommy gun" Not con-
tent with this, which at the worst may
only endanger themselves, they proceed
to inflict their idiocy upon their neigh
bors and their neighbors' children.
These auto-alcoholic hoodlums must be
eradicated if the law-abiding people of
our State are to be safe on our roads
and are to continue to enjoy the right
of intelligent citizens to obtain liquor.
The conduct of campaign centering
public attention on the drunken-driving
menace properly belongs to q liquor
control board, which, in addition to its
supervision of the liquor traffic, is sup
posed to make some positive contribu-
,tion to the cause of temperance. 1t is
an unfortunate and regrettable fact that
under the local liquor law the Alcoholic
Beverage Control Board is not supplied
with funds for any such purposes Rev.
enues from the sale of liquor in the Dis
trict in the past fiscal year amounted to
81. .744000, a substantial sum, showing
gain of more than $135, 1000 over the pre-
ceding year. That gain in revenue reflect
ed an increase in the sale of liquor. 1t was
also accompanied by an increase in the
number of arrests for driving while
drunk and in accidents attributed to
intoxication.
The Alcoholic Beverage Control Board
functions on an allotment OF about $4O,-
600 q year, which is between two and
three per cent of the revenues from the
sale of liquor. That allotment could well
be increased, providing additional per-
sonnel in enforcement work. 1t should
also be increased to supply funds for
propaganda in behalf of temperance,
confined not merely to the menace OF
drunken driving-which ought to be
emphasized-but to kindred aspects OF
the problem.
Before repeal temperance was the
stated objective of most of the repeal
lists. The President, in proclaiming re-
peal of the eighteenth amendment, de-
clared that "the objective we seek
through a national policy is the educa-
ton of every citizen toward greater
temperance throughout the Nation"
The A. B. c. Board should make an
effort to obtain authorization for fund
representing the sinews Of war In an
officially conducted campaign OF temper
ance education What is being done in
PENNSYLVANIA could well be done here.

Another Superliner.

Great Britain is to built sister ship
perhaps it might be called husband
ship"-for the Queen Mary. 1t will be
named the King George v, and will rep
resent in its title his country's grateful
remembrance of the late beloved SOW
ereign. The keel, it is announced, prob
ably will be laid down at the end of
August and the launching time is ten
tatively fixed for the Autumn of 1887.
Meanwhile an army of workmen at
least four thousand of them-will have
employment on the Clydeside and con-
tinued prosperity inferentially is guar
anteed for Liverpool.
But the production of fleets of super
liners ought not to be misunderstood.
The plan Is frankly experimental. No
one is fanatically certain that such vast
leviathans can be operated profitably.
There is a school of thought which
favors, instead, the construction OF
numerous relatively small but notably
fast trans Atlantic carriers. Speed. OF
course, also is one of the objectives OF
the big ship party, and the Queen Mary's
most recent crossing must have been
encouraging to the members Of that
group. The blue ribbon is only nomen-
tarily held by the Normandie. Even the
most ardently patriotic Frenchmen con-
cede that it may be snatched away over
night. Should that happen, effort in
eyitably will be made to snatch 1t back.
Yet uncontrolled maritime rivalry is
not o development to be favored by
those who yearn to see the whole world
blessed with economic health and peace

A Soviet Spain?

CFClIo Ill Opdlll are IIlOVlIlS 50 ldSC
and amid such fluctuating conditions
that it is still venturesome to speculate
as to the final outcome of the civil war
All that can be said is that matters
seem to be trending toward establish
ment Of state more or less on the
model of the Union of Soviet Socialist
Republics in Russia. Hardly any other
conclusion can be drawn from the de-
crees of the Radical government, nation
alizing property belonging to religious
orders and providing for control of in
dustry. These arrangements are based
on the governments belief that it has
succeeded in suppressing the Fascist
rebellion and safeguarding its power at
Madrid. The fortunes of war seemed
definitely to be favoring the Leftist
regime when it issued the confscatory
DEGREES. AS the revolutionary forces are
not yet actually conquered, the govern
ment may later be compelled to retreat
from the drastic action it has just taken,
in q desperate attempt to quash the
revolt and rally the national resources
for defensive purposes.
In the case of religious organizations
which owe allegiance to any authority
other than that of the Spanish state
the Roman Catholic Church-all of
their properties are to be seized within
five days, their orders dissolved and their
physical equipment nationalized. Other
orders may be dissolved and their prop
erty taken over by the state If 1t be
deemed that their activities constitute
a danger to national security. A COM
mittee of the ministry of commerce will
control all industries and assume actual
management Of them, wherever neces-
sary. by simple written order. Early
unofficial reports stated that properties
at Barcelona, in which American capital
is heavily interested, had already come
within the industrial confiscation
scheme.
L'Osservatore Romano, official organ
of the Vatican, reflects the fears spread
ing throughout Europe that a far-flung
"red menace" now turks behind the
Spanish situation. 1t emissions situ-
alton in which, while the Leftist govern
ment is fighting the partisans of mill
tary dictatorship, third force is rising
that threatens to establish Communist
republic by taking advantage OF the
chaotic violence now rampant. The
anti clerical and anti-industrial DEGREES
go far to justify the Vatican's anxiety.
Triumph of ultra-radical elements in
Spain would inevitably whet the ambi-
tions of other European extremists, espe-
cially in neighboring France, where they
are so powerful factor in the Popular
Front government, to set up similar
regimes. The Madrid Radicals purpose
Is the so-called completion" Of the
revolution of 1881. AS the rebels led
by General Franco leave little doubt OF
their intention, If successful, to impose
a military-Fascist rule primarily to COM
bat the influence of Russian Communism,
it would look as If that avowed pro-
gram had melted the Radical groups to
exploit to the limit their subjugation OF
the revolt by establishing government
of outright proletarian bent.
While this is the momentary outlook,
the kaleidoscope may present an entirely
different aspect twenty-four hours
hence. Only one thing is certain-Spain
is In the melting pot.

Shooting Stars.
BY PH1LANDER JOHNSON.

Where Electricity Stops.
Lightning hit the Monument
Still we see 1t rise
Like a finger reverent
Pointing to the skies.
Still electric waves are found
Here and out in space.
Some with melody abound
With radiotic grace.
Some of them a wire will walk
All around the earth
Just to carry human talk
For what it may be worth.
When 1t hit that simple shaft
Honoring men of yore,
Lightning seemed, as people laughed,
Notwithstanding more!

Some mystic voice had things to say.

Democratic, electing Democratic Gov.
ernor and two out of three of the mem
bers of the House chosen were Democrats.
The Republicans are not going to over
look Maine this year-not If they can
help it. It may be that Gov. Landon
himself may make an appearance in
Maine before the September election. In
any event, it is probable that a number
of topliners will be sent into the State
to harangue the voters. Probably the
Democrats will step out in Maine, too.
They are not anxious to have big Re-
publican vote rolled up in this State,
almost two months before the general
election in November. The psychological
effect would not be good. The last thing
the Roosevelt Democrats want to have
happen is the creation of an impression
that Landon sweep is on. That is the
reason they have been particularly sore
about newspaper polls that seem to show
Landon in the lead for the election.

In these Midsummer days 1t Is pos
sible to do little "just supposing" in the
political game. "Just suppose" for ex-
ample. that the Republicans were in

similar to that Of RooSevelt-particularly
with respect to concentration Of govern
ment in Washington and to the spending
of huge sums of money. What would the
Democrats, including President Roose-
welt, be saying about them now? ANY
one can guess, and probably not be far
wrong. The Democrats would be down
on the back of such Republican admin
istration like q ton of brick. On the
Z other hand, the Republicans would be
defending their administration as the
most Just and helpful during the course
Of Q century. And there you are.

 E. R. Brisbin, druggist of Water- bury, Vt, writes: waterbury, Vt. was named thus for Waterbury, Conn. James Marsh was the first settler; Ezra Butler second. The first frame house in Waterbury was built by Ezra Butler in 1786 and is now standing in good condition and oc- cupied by the Wells family. Polly Butler was the first white child born. in Waterbury, in l788, at this house.
 To-day Waterbury is one of the finest, cleanest towns in the state of Vermont. Waterbury, Conn. came to the aid of Waterbury, Vt. after the serious flood of 1927 with substan- tial check which we will never for- get.

 "Waterbury is located midway be- tween these points on a hill and near the station is spring. History has no record of this spring ever failing to flow. The water from this spring was piped, running by gravity to a large wooden tank erected on natural stone foundation.
 "All trains stopped here for water and that is why Waterbury is so named. Later the road was electri- fled. The old tank has been demol- ished, but the spring continues to run clear, cold water as plentiful as ever.
