League May Be Saved

Looking at the dark skies overseas, it is exceedingly easy to say that the League of Nations has failed abjectly. Nothing could be more foolish, however, than to say that because the League has failed 1t must continue to fail; to assume that, be- cause 1t is not at present organized so as to banish war from the world, it never can be SO organized
 We built the League in an hour of great terror. The World War had dragged its bloody way to its last corpse, and we were uncomfortably aware that little bit more of it might have done for every thing that we value in our civilization. So we erected the league as fence to keep out this dreadful menace. Now the fence has broken down. If mankind has half the sense it is supposed to have, son1e- thing will be done to redesign this League so that next time it may not fail. And the best service any friend of peace can render now is to discuss ways and means of making the league effective.
 A good starting point for such discus sion is to be found in bulletin recently sent out by the League of Nations Asso- citation in New York. This group offers four major proposals. They are: Accept the Kellogg treaty as the fundamental principle of it's existence; Call regular international conferences at which ra- tions which feel that they labor under unjust treaties, lack sources of raw materials, or suffer from any other inter- national injustice, could get redress in a peaceful manner; The burden of mill- tary sanctions be made regional matter; The League covenant be internationally divorced from the Treaty of Versailles.
 Here, at least, is basis for discussion. It gives us the rough outlines of League which would not be content to sit on the safety valve, but which would actively work to make the nations of the world feel that they need not fight to get what they must have. A League whose rnenn- bers, pledged in advance not to go to war, functioning regularly to work out peace full solutions of their troubles, would be League in which peace-lovers could have some confidence.
 It is not the kind of League we have had, to date. The old League existed to save the spells of war for the Allied vic- tors, and that it fell apart when the cru cial test came is neither tragic nor espe- cially surprising A new one, concerned solely with international justice and peace, would be the sort of thing the war sick people of the world have dreamed of. It might even be the sort of thing the people of America would be willing to support.

Selected Poem
NATHAN HALE

CHarold Willard Gleason in the New York Times) Spring in Connecticut-new bjrth-and I, Trussed with tight cords, await the dawn-to die But yesterd ly-bleSt calm before the storml- I beckoned pupils forward, form on form, To hear their struggles with the dreaded R's, To pilot them through perils toward the stars Poor Deborah-wee dimpled witch!-how she Did frown and Seammer OCT the rule of three, While sturdy Jared, solemn, tanned of brow I wonder who will hear him construe now? Dear hildren! When my latest gift is made To my beloved country, and the shade Of time obscures ghost-perhaps of rods, And tons that (to young minds) resembled Gods awe and gravty-the hollow crass
 Convention of the pedagogue in class Will they perceive the eagerness that lay Scarce hidden every sunny April day
 To yield to youth and Springtide cherished hours Neglecting books for fishing rods and flowers? Will they-Eny boys-beneath the gesture stern Assumed to startle rogues who would not learn Glimpse lurking pride in modest skill at rounders- "The teacher is a dab at catchn groundersl" These, and blest liberty of woods and hills, New Haven-kindly Mother!-who instills Deep -ove of ageless wisdom, truth and light. These memories make life very dear tonight But Freedom calls answer-pay my debt . The sun already I've but one regret.

A Phrase Defined

The Supreme Court of Errors has defi- nitely and conclusively defined a word that should set at rest for such time as our state liquor laws are in force any debate over what restaurant" as con- noted by the same law, actually is. It's a "place at which, during the hours when restaurants are usually open, hot meals are served to all customers ordering them" In addition they must be served at least twice daily. All of which is by way of stating that the liquor board and various permittees have been at logger heads over the type of liquor permit to be given several establishments.
 On occasions the board has refused restaurant permit to applicants, where it was claimed that reSturant, as under stood under the liquor law, did not exist. Hence the court ruling setting up for once and for all what restaurant, where liquor might be dispensed, actually was, is, and will be. The decision is long awaited one. It means, of course, that there will be an instant demand from many establishments, hitherto denied restaurant permits, for them.
 The Supreme Court has not seen fit to agree with a lower court opinion nor with that of the liquor board that the hot meals must be served at definite hours throughout the day. So long as the hot meals are served throughout the hours the establishment is opened it is comply ing with the law and the intent of the legislators who framed it. This, no doubt, will result in rush for permits from many who believed they were ineligible for such type. It may also result in an effort on the part of the liquor board to have the restaurant'permit re-defined by the 1887 Legislature.

The Hoover Has Turned

Wonders will never cease; it's Q long lane that has no turning; the age of miracles has not passed. These are merely ejaculationS caused by reading ex-President Herbert Hoover's exhorta- ton to the republican delegates gathered at Cleveland in national convention. Time was when MT. Hoover saw nothing but rosy-hued clouds lowering over the United States. There was no need for him to do anything, for prosperity was just around the corner. Well do we remember his predictions, his claims, and his capacity for doing nothing.
 Therefore, we were agreeably surprised to read of the many things that he would have done to better the state of the nation. We were surprised to read in his words new note of authority. One would almost believe that he was candi- date for the nomination again. But we learned also that MT. Hoover barely re- mained on the speakers platform after his speech was finished. He left imme- diately for New York. Platform-makers were probbaly glad.
 While his remarks on the SacredneSS of the Supreme Court may have evoked the greatest applause of the night, 1t may have sent few ShiverS down the backs of republican leaders who don't know how they can possibly avoid complications when they start to demand minimum wage standards. But those things are easily and lightly slipped over when it's necessary. It can be done just as expe- ditiously as MT. Hoover proclaimed with great earnestness that social betterment has always been the aim and goal of the republican party. And what says the echo of bygone years?
 How the New Deal supporters in repub- lican ranks must have writhed as MT. Hoover related how the Supreme Court had thrown out major blanks, shaped into laws. Why didn't he explain their votes in support of them and their earnest espousal of the principles underlying them. The New Deal wasn't political then, it was national. AS republicans now see it, 1t was nothing but democratic fumbling with federal government. They had nothing to do with it. Those records, of which the ex-president spoke, show differently Remember that, Herbie!

There's no two ways about it. The circus crowd of 1886 can't compare with the circus crowd of tic before-the-war days. The automobile has completely changed the entire picture more so with each passing year. Why in those halcyon days, when our hard-surfaced streets were few and far between, if you didn't walk to the circus grounds in those days, you might spend nickle for a trolley ride, as there were plenty of cars to take you right to the grounds. Of course whole families had been gathered around Exchange place and West Main street most of the day. The youngsters were up early and down to the freight yards, watching the circus unload. Then there was the gathering for the big par ade and the breathless hush that preced- ed the cry, "Here it comes". You were jostled and pushed all the way down to the grounds, but you reveled in the ex- citement, the noise, and the sight of friends you might not have seen for months and months.

A Book a Day
An Interesting Book About a Queer Land
 BY BRUCE CAPTION

Gordon Sinclair, who seems to be a species of Canadian Richard Hal- liburton minus the smart-alecky- ness, has written a brash and read able book in "Khyber Caravan" Farrar & Rinehart: $3.
 This book tells how he wandered up and down and across India in Q long-suffering automobile, filling a rowing commission for Q Toronto newspaper and seeing what there was to see (which was plenty) with all the pleased surprise of an irrev- erent freshman loose in the fac- uly club.
 He went up through the Khyber pass, first, into the savage hill country where the tribesmen have agreed not to shoot at travellers who stay on the road. He visited the Vale of Kashmir, drove through jungles where tigers stroll on the highway at night, and covered the terrible earthquake at Quetta-- where, incidentally, he showed that ne can Wrlte very viV1oly.
 And so he went on, into native states where fabulous rajahs live -one of them had his hunting lodge built SO that he could shoot tigers while lolling in his bathtuh Unto steaming, smelly cities where the dead are eaten by horrible moss-covered turtles; across wide tracts of dire poverty, abysnlal ig- riorance, crushing heat, and oppres- sive religious fanaticlsm.
 It ali makes . thoroughly enter taining book. Mir. Sinclair does not pretend to be c profound student of affairs. He's simply 6 reporter skimmiung the surface 0f c strange interesting land.

It was good reading, that, in the Demo- crat the other night. The city's floating indebtedness has been cleared. A huge check was forwarded yesterday which means that for some time the city will not be paying interest on million dollar loan. Some one of these fine days Water bury is going to waken to find itself rid of this task of having to borrow in an- ticipation of taxes. We hope that every Connecticut municipality and town may also awaken to this day. Our annual in- terest bill adds considerably to taxes. We'll be we'll rid of 1t when 1t does come.
