A Rugged Individual

Some months ago Paul B. Sears, noted authority on soil erosion and conserva- tion, wrote book called Deserts on the March" The reviewers all agreed that it emphasized the need for sweeping gov- ernment action to save our farms from slow destruction.
 But a Maryland farmer read the book and decided that he didn't have to wait for the government. He wrote the pulp fishers the other day, telling how he went to work, as soon as he had finished the book, on a gullied hillside which had been haunting him for years heritage from 8 former tenant farmer who had let the land go to ruin.
 For two weeks this farmer worked on that hillside. Today the gully is no more, his good soil has stopped running off in- to the rivers, and his farm has stopped wasting away. The government doesn't have to do it all. If more individuals would emulate this Marylander, the eros- ion problem would be much less men, acing.

Something Wrong

The proposal that the district court plan be changed so that town could either accept 1t or refuse it doesn't quite sound like the original idea. We wonder what Chief Justice William M. Maltbie of the State Supreme Court and Cover nor Wilbur L. Cross think of 1t. At any rate in all good faith 1t was suggested to them this week that when bill finally comes up for legislative action 1t should contain the alternative section. And irl- stead of cutting the number of district courts down to B there would be n such courts.
 In short it looks as if the legislators are trying to satisfy both constituents and office-holders. They don't want to make a clean sweep of the existing minor courts and if they are forced to cut down on the number of them, they only want to get rid of ones whose removal won't cause too much commotion in political circles. Thus the original intent of the bill, as framed by Justice Maltbie and other adherents of the district court plan, is defeated. We imagine if any court re- form goes through this emasculated one will.
 If we are going to adopt the district court plan for Connecticut 1t cannot be along such lines as would allow certain town to accept or reject the court in which jurisdiction 1t would be. That would result in such a confusion of small courts that no good purpose would be served by any district courts. As we understand it the plan is to get rid of the numerous and overlapping courts now existing and to broaden the juris- diction of number of courts. Naturally some towns don't want to lose their courts, but if the plan is to succeed, that's the only way it can - by some sacrifices.

 Staunch Republican
 Roosevelts present plans to make Stone Chief Justice are based upon the belief that Chief Justice Hughes will almost cer- tainly resign if Congress approves the enlargement of the Court.

 Furthermore. he by no means approves of all the New Deal is doing. One of his friends quotes him as having said during a pri- vate court debate: If these fools want to put this stuff across, it's not the business of the Supreme Court to stop ther1."
 Probably Roosevelt figures that Stones philosophy on the bench is that which Justice Holmes once expressed to Stone himself.

The American Way

Racial animositieS and religious prejudices, together with the discourage ment or even the suppression of religion by the state, are the order of the day III various lands at the present time. The Christian Church, whether Protestant or Catholic, is having hard time in Ger many; Catholics are being persecuted in Mexico; and the whole disposition of the Soviet government in Russia seems to be to put the church and religion under ban. What is happening to Jews in Ger many and elsewhere is matter ot com- mon knowledge.
 The totalitarian idea, whether 1t takes the form of fascism or communism, max ing the state everything and the individ- l1al nothing, as 1t does, appears to be in- compatible with religion and the princl- ples of spiritual liberty that are inevlt- ably attached to 1t. In the principle of the separation of church and state which is established in the United States, there is no implication of indifference toward religion on the part of government. The implication IS that of the liberty of the individual to profess any religion or no religion, so long as his conduct IS com patible with the public interest. The state is concerned in the protection of the individual in the exercise of his rights The American Way is that of religious freedom There are three major religious groups in this country, Protestants, Cath 0lics and Jews. Each is free to practice it0 faith, not as a matter of tolerance, but of right. This right has been challenged at times by factions and sporadic move ments have arisen to foment hatred against one group or another. But thls is contrary to the spirit of democracy ana the good sense of the American people may be counted upon to discredit in the end every movement of this kind.
 Brotherhood Day, to be observed very widely over the country during the week beginning February 20, is intended to Efoster spttit of justice, understanding, friendship and cooperation among these groups of American citizens of different faiths. It is promoted by the National Conference of Jews and Christians whose co-chairmen are Honorable Newton D. Baker, Protestant, Professor Carlton J. H. Hayes, Catholic, and Roger W. Straus, Jew.
 In these days when religion is being widely challenged in many parts Of the' world it is we'll that Protestants, Catholics and Jews should stand together for those things which they believe in common. There is, perhaps, no more significant service which the United States could render to the family of nations today than to present the spectacle of people of many diverse racial strains and of many philosophies and faiths dwelling together in mutual respect and appreciation, each seeking to interpret the, others in terms of the best contributions they have made to the common life, according equal jus tice to all, and, while separate in doctrine as the fingers of the outstretched hand, as compact and united as mans clenched fist in opposition to all that harms the common life, and in support of all that makes for fuller, happier life for every citizen.

Judging by the proposed new Water vile bus routes, petitions for which will be addressed the Public Utilities Con- mission shortly unless objection is raised by the districts served, the upper end of Waterville is not to get service. The one route that would afford persons in this end of the community to get down town branches off Thomaston avenue at Homer street and then covers this end of the city looping around through Cooke street. We were quite surprised to read that the busses would not run up Thom- aston avenue at least as far as the trolleys go now, but perhaps that is included in another route not mentioned in connec- tion with the disputed ones

Press Comment
LEONARD J. MORRISON
 (Hartford Times)

A retired judge of the Superior Court, and former speaker of I'.~ Connecticut House, Leonard Jones Nickerson, of Cornwall, passed away Thursday night. He had been jur- ist who well maintained the tradi- tions of the Litchfield County Bar, memorable since the times of Tap ping Reeve. In public life he sup ported excellently the ideals of Con- necticut citizenship, as was natural for one of his colonial lineage and his life career in a part of the State which from early days has been famous for its complication of sterling character. the grecas of culture and the dignity of service.
 To have lived well in the estima- ton of Litchfield County is to have won 8 high mark of reputation and proven worth.
 Judge Nickerson was not SO gifted as were some others of his contem- poraries but was man of excep- tional steadiness and probity, safe in counsel. an able advocate, effi- cient in every post of responsibility entrusted to him. prudent. sound. In his judgeships he honorably justi- fled tho discretion of former Cover nor Templeton. who appointed him in 1923 although he had already reached the age of 06.

Open Season On Deer

We are not surprised that the State Board of Fisheries and Game does not care to take the responsibility for an open season on deer in Con- necticut. There are several bills facing the General Assembly right now which would allow hunting deer during certain per- iods in the year. Superintendent Arthur L. Clark in discussing the proposed open season said that if the Legislature would assume responsibility his department would offer objections.
 We can well understand his position. We can also imagine just what would happen if an open season on deer were declared in Connecticut. We do not wish to cast aSpersionS on that cross section of the American public which constitutes sportsmen, but we do think that an open season in Connecticut would be rather hectic few days or weeks And we doubt if the real purpose would be achieved. We presume the idea is to cut down the number of animals, purportedly doing damage to orchards and crops, as well as proving a menace on the high ways.
 By declaring an open season on deer we would let loose in our woods such an army of hunters nat just as much dam age to property and person would be brought about. There probably would be an avalanche of hunters from outside the state unless the hunt was confined to Connecticut nimrods. Superintendent Clark pointed out that the present state

If Waterbury should receive additional school grants from the State of Connec- ticut, it would certainly mean that fur ther efforts would be made to have paro- chial and private schools benefit thereby. As it now looms this city will have its annual school grant more than doubled under the terms of bill now in the Leg islature. This bill is probably the direct outcome of the session at Hartford earlier this year at which city and town officials met with Mayor Thomas J. Spellacy to discuss ways and means by which the state could help out communities. One way suggested was to increase school grants and to give the cities and large towns better "break" than they now receive. The only fly in the ointment is that the present measure which increases school grants from $2.25 per pupil to $5 is that nothing is said about where the additional revenue will come for the state to foot the increased school bill.
