On the Way Out

The use of any type of firearms by per sons other than those lawfully entitled to them will soon be universally banned throughout the United States. It didn't require the recent death of little West Hartford girl to call attention to this fact. We have seen what can happen right here in our own city by possession of such toys, as air-rifles by boys. It brought forth from the present Legisla- ture bill outlawing air-rifles.
 There is too much carelessness in the use of guns by boys and young men today to suit the tastes of parents and persons of more settled existences. It is nothing for youngsters to engage in mimic battles and gangster's warfare with little or no precaution against injury to anyone, par ticipant or spectator. There are many irresponsible persons, too, securing hunt ing licenses. We do not intend this shaft for the vast army of men and women who enjoy hunting, know guns, and give them the respect they should have.
 We note yesterday that Attorney Gen. eral Homer s. Cummings wants to ex- tend the federal firearms law to include all types of weapons. This is good move and, one that will perhaps tend to cut down our free and easy manner of dealing with deadly weapons. It is too bad that persons have to be incapacitated for life or even killed in the interests of good legislation that should have been put into force long ago. Our law-making bodies are altogether too easy on us with respect to ownership and use of guns, however harmless some of them may be claimed to be.

A Thought for Today
Cause of Society's Ills!

This is queer, sadly-tangled world we live in, and the best way to give yourself splitting headache is to try to figure out just who is to blame for the things that 20 wrong in it. The detective running down a ClewleSS murder case has soft snap, by comparison; he at least knows that when he gets to the end of the trail he won't be throwing himself behind bars
 Judge Benjamin Scheinman of Los Angeles, Calif., started thinking aloud along these lines the other day. Judge Scheinman presides over the court in which the coppers daily unload their as- Sortment of drunkS, vagrants and other petty offenders - the misfits of metropol- itan life for whose infinitely complicated web of mistakes and offenses society can think of no answer but 10 days in the jug So the judge unburdened himself to Ted Le Berthon, reported for the Los Angeles Evening News.
 eve may be arresting the wrong peo- ple," he unused "We may be making mistake in arresting drunks and vags and not arresting those who provide the breeding ground for drunks and vags, and who certainly contribute to their de- 1inquency." And then the judge began trying to figure out just who these con- tributors to delinquency might be.
 He mentioned the sweatshop employees who pay starvation wages; the politicians who decree that jobless single men on re- lief must get along and staveoff the soul- racking monotony of idleness on $15 a month; the Saloonkeepers who sell liquor to these men, until they are drunk and after they are drunk; the commercial employment agencies that make them pay to get jobs; the flophouse owners who herd men six or eight at a time in dirty ill-ventilated rooms.
 All these things added together, the judge remarked, are enough to drive any man to ruin Dirt, idleness, hopeless ness, friendlessness = put them to work on man, and you need not be surprised if he winds up, froWsy and befuddled, in police court. "There is another angle, too, for us to ponder over," continued the fellows who later decided that single we too, might be subject to arrest"
 In other words, when you trace the offenders troubles to society you wind up by putting the finger on yourself. For if we live in the kind of society that drives certain percentage of it's misfits to drink and vagrancy, and if we our selves consent to that society's existence and do nothing to iron out it's rough places then we ourselves are the ulti- mate offenders. If you want to keep your mental ease and complacency, never try to discover the ultimate responsibility for society's ills. For, if you do, you may wind up just where Judge Cheinman wound up - accusing yourself.

Righteous Indignation"

We didn't hear anyone say the above, but we rather imagine it could be used to describe the manner in which House Ma jority Leader Noah SWayne, republican, of Darien delivered his indictment of democrats of Connecticut yesterday in the House. His blows were aimed in par ticular at Governor Wilbur L. Cross and the twenty-six democratic members of the State Senate. The bone of conten- tion was the governors appointment of Rep. John D. Thoms, good democrat, as Statute Revision Commissioner and the So-called Senate "maSculated" merit system bill.
 Perhaps we do Rep. Swayne an injus- tice in saying that his righteous indigna- tion which caused him to speak at great length and in oratorical fashion was for the benefit of the voters at home. Of course nothing that the republicans do or say at Hartford these days is for the advancement of their own party. Ever since the democrats started to rule the rooSt at Hartford the attitude of repub- lican legislators and office hold-overs has been that of the humble servant devoted ly serving the best interests of the state.
 Now republican can serve the state as well as democrat and vice-versa. We have always contended this. We pointed it out years ago when there wasn't a democrat in an appointive or elective office in the state and republicans couldn't find enough good men in their own ranks, so they gave some of those in one office position in another branch of the government. Positions in exec utive, legislative, and judicial branches of the government weren't unusual for the gifted republicans of Connecticut of the hey-days (prior to 1930).
 All of this background is interesting and should be cited by many republican orators who are now so solicitouS for the welfare of Connecticut. If someone

Selected Poem
LITTLE BOY!
(Alice Larson in the Poets Corner,
 Hartford Courant)


 (Alice Larson in the Poets Corner,
 Hartford Courant) O little boy with wonder in your eyes, What grave expectance radiates your face! Your life, game full-fraught with keen surprise And all the world new, exciting place. Adventure calls!-Pell-mell you lead the race In finding lovely, squishy mud for pies, Delightful bugs and funny dogs to chase, O little boy with wonder in your eyes! So curious-and oh, so full of why's" That no amount of answers erase; So quick to notice, and to catechze, What grave eXpectance radates your face! Now petted, now Chow oftenD in disgrace For smoking Daddy's pipe or eating flies, You waver twixt paddle and embrace, Your life game full-fraught with keen surprise. You make us feel so very old and wise, Yet strangely youthful, following your pace. Young scalawag, you've made the and skies And all the world new exciting place! My prayer: That when you join the grown-up race For love and work and home with all its ties. No brush with life will ever quite efface That look of grave expectance in your eyes.
 o little boy.

retired banker in New Haven has suggested to the city fathers that new manufacturing concerns be exempted from local taxes when they employ certain number of persons. We don't know whether or not this will fall on re- ceptive ears, but we'd be inclined to say it wouldn't. Down in New Haven, as elsewhere, most efforts these days are to- wards finding new sources of revenue for cities, states, and nations. At least that's the problem in the United States. And certainly New Haven has been trying of recent years to cut down on it's tax exempt list. It has been carrying on ne gotiations with Yale University for long time, the general purpose being to have the university, already New Haven's larg- est taxpayer, pay even more taxes or else help the city out of it's financial difficult ties. Exempting new manufacturing concerns won't prove very acceptable at this rate.

The Park Board of our city seems dis inclined to move the Carrie Welton Me morial Fountain to the Green as has been suggested by Street Supt. Thomas J. Fleming. The board favors it's removal to one of the city's parks. This probably is not contrary to Supt. Fleming's plans, as his main thought was to have it re- moved from a spot where it no longer serves useful purpose. If placed in one of the parks we suppose that the foun- tain itself will be dismantled and only the bronze horse retained. Old-timers will regret to see the monument go as many pleasant memories for all of us center around it.

Call it August in May or what you will, but the weather of the last few days has been more than seasonable. Seldom do we get such warm weather as this in early May. It was all that was needed to bring out spring blossoms and send home gardeners here and there to get their land in shape for planting. It may be forerunner of the hot, dry summer some body predicted for us.

"Pipe All Hands" Is Stirring Sea Yarn <.
 RY RRITCE CAPTION


 Stirring Sea Yarn
 BY BRUCE CAPTION
 F The age-old appeal of the sea and its ships is not merely a matter of the seas beauty and the ships grace. It comes chiefly from the fact that all of the old values still hold good for the seafarer. Getting a ship about the ocean is still matter of skill, alertneSS, and courage, just as it was in the days of the PhoenicianS. Regardless of the skullduggery of shore folk, the sailor must face the seas perils on his own. The sea will find out how good man he is and how good craft his ship is, and if either one fails no second test will be needed. H. M. Tomlinsen meditates on this matter in Pipe All Handsl" (Harper,s: $2.50), a slightly book ish sea story which shakes off its bookishness along toward the end and gives you as tense and stirring an account of storm at sea as you would care to read.
 He deals with Q British tramp freighter-one of those inexplica- ble Jonah ships which, for no rea- son at all, can usually be depend- ed on to do the wrong thing in an emergency - and with the men who have the job of taking her about the earth. To them, she is a personality, to be cursed and served and loved; to the owner, she is merely 8 number, 9 pack age in which goods are delivered. How this attitude of the own- CTS lands the ship in an At lantic hurricane, and nearly causes the loss of all on board, brings the story to climax that will have you pop-eyed. And al- though MT. Tomlinson's stokers and deckhands have an odd way of talking just like MT. Tomlinson, he can tell a sea story with the best of them-and, in the telling, can expose a humane, thoughtful and civilized view of life.

should ask why this solicitude wasn't mo- ticeable some years ago, say, for example, when state institutions were imploring aid and were denied it, he might properly be suuelched with "dirty" look.
