Just Another Rally

The appearance here tonight of Colonel Frank Knox, republican vice-preSidential candidate with all the attendant ballyhoo of the good old days when red fire and fiery oratory were in their prime, is noth- ing more than New England pinch-hit- ting swing for Landon. Unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately, MT. Landon has [, seen fit to repair to the vicinity of his an :, cestral surroundings. Hence the need for Colonel Knox's flying wedge.
 Were Colonel Knox the candidate for the presidency, which perchance he ? would have preferred and even done more justice to, the announcement of his ap- p pearance might have met with more en- {. thusiasm generally speaking. However, as only the aspirant to the vice-presi- t dency, an office which someone or other has to take-and every vice-presi- dent can't have the late Calvin CoolidgeS z luck-it is hard to conceive of the public'S | going into ecstasy over his appearance anywhere along the line.
 z Yet from what we have read of Colonel Knox'S utterances, elsewhere, as he cam , paigned through New England, he has about the same axe to grind as the rest of the republican "outs" too much Roose- welt. That seems to be the sum and sub- stance of the utterance of all republican candidates from town constable to presi- dential-they can't offset or understand the magnitude of Roosevelt sentiment throughout country which is positively FooSevelt-minded for the most part today Hence, again we say the recourse to bally- hoo, such as the republicans of Water z bury are preparing for MT. Knox this evening.
 In Vermont, New Hampshire or some- where along the line the other day, our republican visitor for this evening said, "this is not political campaign, we are in crusade to save America" Just ar- other lot of balIyhoo Save America from what? From whom? Why, Mr. Knox and his Chicago Daily News were never more prosperous than at present. Yet he is not satisfied. No, nor like the rest of the old guard republicans will he be satisfied until they can once more bamboozle the American people as in the good old days Of Harding, Coolidge and Hoover.
 Don't be deceived by the ballyhoo with all it's red fire and fanfare--it's just an- other election year and local republicans are only taking a page from the past, when such pageantry awed the rank and file. It doesn't any more. They've cut their wisdom teeth. However, everyone loves parade, whether it's for MT. Knox or MT. Roosevelt-strike up the bandI

IlS well worth tho money Co have the doctor, dentist and ocullse say, Not q thing the matter this time, Mrs. Brown" And it's doubly worth it if there's been some trifllng trouble growing anywhere Co have it caught and repaired in time.
 Nowhere in life SO clearly NS in the medical field does the stitch In time save nine. If some Illness of last winter has left . trifllng deafness, the family may not have observed it. They may have thought Q slow reply due Go inattenti0n.
 But in the schoolroom even a slight deafness may make very big difference in the child's ability Go take hold of the work. He may lose a year of school, may develop a serious dislike for learning, which a few treatments from the family doctor, taken at the right time, would one lung, 1t can be arrested and further affliction prevented in Q few months ot the right regime. Glasses for year or two may see the child through that trouble. Proper attention now, and the need for glasses may be outgrown. Ne glect of the eyes at critical period may lave serious defects,
 No parent should wiring the hands and let child think something terrible has happened because the doctor advises tooth out or glasses on or regular nose drops or even few months in bed. Any one may have a little upset, and once cheerfully and competently cared for it is swiftly over. That's all there is to 1t. But the little leaks In energy ought to be looked after SO there won't be any further break in the dam and lots of trouble.

One Place For Ruling

There is all sorts of comment going the rounds these days about the aVaila- bility of two democratic state senators, Matthew A. Daly of New Haven and Julius P. Strernlau of Meriden, for the coming special session of the General Assembly. Last week through the press of the state there was circulated ruling of the Su- pren1e Court on a case involving dual holding of public office 80 years ago. !. Whether or not the ruling is applicable to the present situation is something for the law to determine
 It is our opinion that If an issue is to be made of the seating of either Senator Daly or Stremlau, 1t might also be neces. sary to inquire into the legality of other senatorial seats. It is barely possible (true in one easel that there might be others who had seemed to have auto" rnatlcally rclinquished their legislative offices. But if so, why should the aver age laynan pass judgment until judg- T1ent has been asked. And in that case, let 1t be from authoritative sources. The only possible reason why any leg iSlator should be excluded from the com ing special sessions is because of fear of inVaIidation of the important legislation that is to be transacted. It would be a calamity to have the session adopt an amendment to the state constitution pro- yiding for the proper meeting of presi- dential electors to conform to present federal statutes only to have the amend r1ent vitiated by illegal voting on the same. It would be calamity to pass important social security laws, guaran- teeing Connecticut participation in fed. eral 1argess only to have the refunds denied us on account of illegality. For these reasons only should disputed leg Dlativc seat be decided.

 Mr. Murno and American
 Democracy
 MT. Murno speaks with contempt for democracy when 1t ceases to serve tho ends of those he chooses to support, If MT, Murno were an American he would think different. Tho American people have Q long tradition of fearless struggle for freedom, Their conception of free. dom is freedom for the people and not for their eXploiters.
 When MT, Murno attacks democ- raey he attacks the fundamental principle of Americanisnl. A prln- oiple that Is strongly imbedded in the hearts of all Americans since the days of the early settlers. In his enthusiastic praise of fNsciSm ho ad- vocates the antithesis of democracy. the rule of ruthless and greedy minority over An oppressed majority.
 He proves this when hG would rob the American workers of their con- stitutional right to strike for higher wages and better working conditions. This is fasoism.
 Whom does he speak forS He speaks for the strikebreakerS, for tho open shop industrialists who arc craving for just such Q thing, Ae speaks for tho oosseS. the Glasses.
 Certainly he is not speaking for tho thousands of underpaid Italian workers employed in tho local fac. tories and who belong to his organ- iEation,
 When he speaks for fascism he speaks against his own people bee cause fasoiSm in the United States means American fasoism. As is ale ready evident by tho rising wave of discrimination against foreigners he and his people will he the first to become It's victims.
 Under the fascist slogan of Ameri- cAnism he and his people will be among the first to be denied civil liberties, tho right to citizenship, tho right to decent living.
 There is already Q bill before congress, the Diekstein bill, calling for deportation of l0.000,000 fore eigners, This Is only one of the many countless symptoms of fascist tendencies in our country.
 A friendly warning to you, MT. Murno, You and your people arc already taking side with the Jew and the Negro as the marked prey of American fasciSm.

You've heard people speak of a pillar of fire and also in religious sense the ex- pression pillar of fire" Is frequently used. But did you know there was religious sect called Pillar of Fire. Its main taber- nacle is in Zarephath, N. J., and 1t has just been holding its annual camp meet ing and the 74-year old founder and head of the cult, Bishop Alma White, has been as vociferous as ever in condemning the fads and foibles of this modern age. About 800 members of the religion gath cred for the occasion and responded to the exhortations of Bishop White, Gus toms that date back to the age in which the religion was founded are still followed by It's members who responded in strict fashion to the urgings and directions of their leader. Incidentally the sect main tains college and preparatory school.

Time to Get Ready

President Roosevelt's visit to sections of the country which suffered from last springs disastrous floods points again to the necessity of preparedness to avert these calamities. The president pointed ou in Vermont, for instance, that con struction of the Winooski valley dam after the tragic 1927 flood doubtless saved many lives and prevented great property damage in the 1886 deluge,
 Similarly, Ohio, since the 1913 flood, has protected itself against future calamity The tendency, of course, is to neglect these precautions after the im- mediate danger Is past, But here is Q matter that requires consistent federal and state cooperation at the time when no danger exists. Politics doesn't enter into 1t,

thau, Acting Budget Director Bell and several other treasury execu- tlves.
 According Co estimates laid before Che President, federal inc come for the year 6 expected 70 exceed original expectations by at least Sg0O, ,o0e. e.o0o. This is an enormous sum, but treasury exc perts consider it Q conservative calculation on Che basis oe the current business tempo and ex" pected returns from the new cooperation surplus tax.
 Hand in hand with this big boost in revenue an equally large decrease in expenditures was shown.
 The decrease arises from the Presidents new policy of cutting Public Works Administration proJ" ects to the bone and the consid- erable repayments now pouring In to the RFC, Farm Credit Admin. astratlon and other loan agencies. Altogether 1t will he 6 very bright and cheery picture that the budget will delineate-at least it will be from an Administration viewpoint.
 Guile
 Works Progress Administration officials are undecided whether their leg Is being pulled or the republicans really are trying to raid their stan.
 Four WPA employees informed their superlors recently that they had been offered jobs at considerably higher salaries by the Republican National Conn mlttee. In each instance, WPA OfIiclaIs declared that ie the four men cared to 90 with the g.o.p. that was their business, and there would Dc no pay increases Co meet the g.o.p. bids.
 A few days ago David K. Miles, director of the WpA Information Service was confronted with Q new variation of the better-salary offer proposition.
 one of his staff writers In. formed him that he had been of. cred 9i,600 by c nationally known Anti-Administratiot1 weekly for an "inside, lowdown" article on the WPA.

In New York
BY GEORGE ROSS

New York, Aug. Sl--Annual rec ports of Maude Adams return to the footlights are again in clrcula. ton, although no confirmation has come from the secluded lady her. self. Similar rumors are broadcast at this time every year and ilSsle out. Except once, Several years ago the unforgettahle Peter Pan of yore withdrew from her hermitage to play in "The Merchant of Venice" l" But not in New York. She passed us up.
 Now the darling of the late Charles FrohmAn'S day iS In re. tirement at an arhored nunnery in Oentna, New York, where she lives amongthe sisters In serenity and quietude. She does not make any personal appearances anywhere and is not at home to interviewers. Only one journalist has succeeded In being granted an audience with her during the past five years,
 Incident of Yelled Lady
 Once this correspondent was priv. ileged to be with tho retreating lady, under unusual and reverent circum. stances, It was in the cloistered interior of 0 religiously imposing church on Fifth Avenue. In the center aisle, stood Q seemingly youthful lady whose face was part ly concealed by 0 netted veil. HhO was looking upward of the altar at the hidden lights that cast soft il- luTnination upon the sacred plat. form.
 Turning to this correspondent, shO remarked that the altar was wrought of such beautiful nosaics, marbles and alabaSters that they were deserving of rich reflections in light. Then she sent for the Sox- ton and unobtruslVely begged to know if the church would not per- nit her to contribute Q light con- trivance for tho altar that she had designed herself.
 Unaware of her identity, the church warden said that he would broach tho unusual benefaction.
 I helped Miss Adams to her limousine. But 1t was not 0 linn. ousine. Instead, Q taxicab of ancient vintage, high body and rickety con- dition, awaited her at the curb. The driver in Sotto voce explained that Miss Adams owned no car and kept no chauffeur in hire.
 Instead, she was regular patron of his hack and when she made any excursions by car, rang for him. Ho waited regularly at tho curb of her hotel.
 When Miss Adams settled down in tho compartment, he raised the flag of his i6 & 6 and drove away.
 Later, out of curious disposition, your correspondent checked up and returned to tho edifice to see how things came out. The sexton said that Q new light, indeed, illuminated the altar; that 1t was the gift of c worshipful visitor. But he was not ct liberty to give the anonymous don- or's name.
