Bank Night Legality

q The decision of Prosecutor Charles Sunlma on the legality of "bank night" in local theaters indicates quite clearly that the matter will be brought into the courts for strict ruling. The local prosecutor did nothing more than indi- cate that he would abide by high court decisions in other states in which it had been found that similar enterprises were not to be defined as a lottery and hence contrary to their state laws. Local lawyers seem to believe that similar &C., ton will be taken here in Connecticut to define exactly "bank night"
 It would not surprise us to find Con- 11ecticut courts concurring with those of other states in finding no evidence of a lottery here. In a way the "bank night" idea is similar to hundreds of others that have been commonly adopted by organ izations for long years past Rallies with all types of prizes have been commonly indulged in right here in Waterbury for long years past. The legal and ethical sides of them has rarely, if ever, been questioned.
 From a moral standpoint there is apt to be less complaint about anything like t'banknight" than there is about the type of motion picture that might be shown on such an occasion. From a legal stand point we attempt no definition other than saying if this be beyond the pale, then so gre many other chances in which we in- Gulge from time to time and which are merely blessed with the sweet name of charity or some other good cause. We must not lose sight of the fact that it's easy to lean over backward in our desire to be law-abiding citizens.

The Game Goes On

So Europe has returned to it's favorite guessing game = the marital prospects of the former Prince of Wales. Time was when his name was linked at various intervals with those of glamorous women in dozen countries. But the prince found none to his liking, apparently, and eventually the fervor of the guessing died down t|"
 Now his majesty, in message asking the Commons to restore the civil list, pro- viding for royal household and personal expenses, mentions the contingency" of marriage, and the world can start guess ing all over again. Whom will he marry -and when? Will she be of royal blood or conmoner? The Br tish are lost for the moment in this orite reflection.
 Here is a pretty good safety valve for national sentiment. Certainly the tra- dition of royalty has buoyed the British through more than one crisis And if gossip about the king con do it's part now then may the British make the most of itl

Harmonious relation of factors" caus- ed the Connecticut river floods, says Aes- lie F. Conover, federal meteorologist. And here they are. In the early part of March there was a heavy covering of snow, con- sequently high water content, in the Con- necticut river valley. When the ground froze it was wet; heavy rains and snows accumulated upon it. We didn't have our customary January thaw in 1886, because the temperatures were low for lengthy period. When few days did come the snow settled in a saturated mass in the lower valley. Then came the rain; the lower valley snow disappeared; into the river went five inches of water and snow. Then came more rain in the lower valley. In the meantime upper valley tempera- lures were high; snow was melting. Thus perfect combination of flood factors en- sued and disaster followed. And this ex- plains the tragedy.

Truce for Railroads

The House of Representatives at Wash ington has evidently decided, as corre- spOndent expresses it, to "stop kicking the railroads around" The house voted 215 to Al to repeal the "long and short haul" clause in the existing railroad con- trol law. Under the new bill the roads might be allowed, under certain condi- tions, to charge less for long haul than for short haul.
 This has been allowed in some cases heretofore, to enable rail lines to meet ruinous competition from water carriers and trucks, but it involved much diffi- culty and delay Under the proposed rule, the rail carriers could file what rates they wanted, and the rates would go into effect in 30 days unless affected shippers or communities objected InGhat case there would be a hearing before the commission. Trucks and water carriers already have this privilege.
 The congressional minority insist that the new policy will enable the railroads to "gouge" small shippers and small communities There is obvious danger of this. But the danger, as the majority points out, is less than it used to be, be- cause the carrying business has grown

The Right Spirit

One of the encouraging aftermathS of the Hartford flood disaster is the spirit of cooperation being displayed in the inter- ests of the little fellows" who were wiped out of business. Many merchant doing business, perhaps from day to day, had his entire stock of merchandise, as well as his place of business, completely ruined by the flood waters. His efforts to get back on his feet would have been useless were it not for the fact that "big business" is going to provide the neces- Sary funds with which this rehabilitation may be carried on.
 < That's the proper spirit for any com munity to display. We would want it to be the same here in Waterbury, too, if any such disaster struck at our businessmen Starting today loans, ranging from one and two hundred dollars upward will be made to the "little fellows. That will enable them to clean up the Wreckage and replace ruined stock with new. And in addition to that money is going to be pro- vided so that businesses where union men were employed will be able to continue paying their help along regular estab- lished scales.
 This is rehabilitation on a modern and human scale. We are glad to see it oc- curing right here in Connecticut. Had no effort like this been made there would have probably been quite few hundreds of unemployed thrown on the mercy of the city. So it can easily be seen that these humane efforts to aid the unfortunate proprietors of ruined stores, etc, are actu- ally for the best interests of the entire community. It's usually that way; a good deed done will return hundred fold dividend.

Brooklyn may not be the first city where the "big show" will play under canvas after leaving Madison Square Gar den in New York city. City officials are preparing to bar the Ringing Brothers, Barnum and Bailey spectacle from their midst. And the reason is fear of property damage, as well as harm to their children. You may not have thought this would fol- low in the wake of the circus, but Brook lyn officials claim that it isn't the circus itself, but the hangers-on who settle down near the circus when it makes an ex- tended stay. Their presence is undesir- able and Brooklyn is willing to lose the circus to avoid these "squatters."

Tells How and Why Some Sops Sell Out
By BRUCE CATION

When the African king Jugurtha ran afoul of the might of ancient Rome, some 2l centuries ago, and found that he was able to buy him- self out of jams as fast as he got into them, he remarked cynically; The world is for sale, if anyone can find buyer"

 For. Mr.. Lavine,. veteran. New York police reporter, has set down here such sorry record of knav- cry and venality in American police departments as to make one wonder if there are any honest men left in the republic.
 MT. Lavine's book is exceedingly refrehsing for all its discouraging develatlons, because it handles with out gloves the whole problem of law enforcement. "

month q group Of Veterans Of Fu-
ture Wars in q Western university
opened their meeting by standing for
o moment in silent tribute to their
unkilled dead.
Tribute to the Dead.
This is too much! Every Rainbow
meeting, and probably every veterans
meeting, opens with moment of rev.
erent tribute to our dead. We do not
ask that others share in this reverent
custom, but God save the country from
generation which thinks it a meet
subject for ridicule. AS death Is the
common end, so should respect for the
dead be common to all men and all
generations. These thoughtless boys
have by their satire profaned a holy
place. Greater love hath no man than
this, he that shall lay down his life for
his friend Our friends and relatives,
and other comrades who have given
their lives for this Nation, deserve bet
ter at the hands Of even the children
Of this Nation. Some of these boys may
yet on some distant battlefield of war
yet to come Valiantly lay down their
lives for the protection of our country
and join the ranks of our heroic dead.
There, in the company of these sublime
veterans they may once more bow their
heads, not this time in mock tribute,
but in humble penitence for their
youthful folly"

Then the movement took another

for an immediate trip to Europe to

cency which even children are obliged
to respect. Satirizing the grief
stricken mothers who have raised sons
to manhood only to see their promis-

field for their nation, is an excess
which should have been instantly con-
demned. Instead of condemnation,
however, this startling breach of good
taste and decency was greeted with
widespread chuckles and appreciation.
