Sheriff Turkington

Sheriff Frank Turkington who passed away Monday night, was one of Lltch- fields most familiar and admired figures. He was not only definite part of Litch- field but of the county as well, having served as sheriff for about thirty years. At eighty-three he was carrying on the functions of the county shrievalty, and had been engaged in business associated with his office just previous to his deatn, which followed slight fall few dayS ago. Strolling about the Litchtield streets one was sure some time durlng the day to meet this kindly man, who al- ways had something significant to say. He had fund of knowledge in affairs po- litical and general. He had his own def mite convictions but did not intrude his ideas on others, respecting the personal beliefs and opinions of his fellowman.
 Although he had attained fourscore and more years Sheriff Turkington was mentally and physically alert; not so rugged and active as in former years, but until a few days ago when slight accl- dent haStened his death he was about as usual. Seeing him and talking with him not more than two weeks ago we were impressed by the keenneSs of his mind. The familiar ready wit was there and a kindliness behind very sharp pair of eyes.
 The Sheriff was born and reared on a farm in Morris and always maintained an interest in certain aspects of farm life. In and around Litchf1eld he was re- garded as keen judge of cattle. This interest continued all through his life, and he had particular regard for his farms in Morris; he made speciality of stonewalls, and the one bordering his land just below Morris on the Watertown- Litchfield road was greatly admired by paSSers-by. At some time or other during his life the sheriff engaged in most every phase of town and country life. He ran for many offices in Litchfield and Morris, including selectman, town treasurer, and postmaster, and also represented Morris in the General Assembly over forty years ago. Likewise he had been a grocery, meat and blacksmith shop proprietor. In short he was true country gentleman, a kindly person, interested in his fellow man, respecting his views. He had dry keen humor, and practiced through his life two major traits, tolerance and kind Illness. He was man outstanding in town, county and state.

would not have been factor at all in the election. As it was, they proved an adjunct in helping some one else, but not themselves. They elected no candidates through their own efforts, but they did have several of their candidates elected by virtue of securing Republican endorse nlent for them. Whether they will brand themselves as minority officeholderS we don't know.
 The facts are that minus any support that might be expected from those voters who assert they believe in demo- cratic principles, but are opposed to indi- vidualS, the Democratic party, as repre- sented by the administration of Mayor Hayes boiled it's greatest vote. It was evidently vote of both confidence in the man, as well as the administration and the party. Opponents needed the cross currents of ordinarily opposing parties to approximate this, vote. There is no consolation for anyone in this analysis, but it does indicate that the Hayes pop ularity in Waterbury is attested to by more than 19,000 voters.

and further complicate the already confusing state of politics which the voter must determine. But it seems as though they can- not take it, and they seem to be very much surprized, at how Court of Equity functioning under that very same Constitution which these people pretend to uphold, should de- feat their purpose and perhaps for ever render it impossible for them to put the system over on us.
 If some of the very same people seem to consider as Americans only those who are descendants of par ticular European race, and are ac- lively interested in crushing or SUD- pressing the descendants of other races, who are equally good Amer jeans if not much better, there is something radically wrong in our midst and our real perils are not Fascisrn, Nazism, Communism or any other iSrns under the sun, but some concealed power working ap- parently behind the screens to bring about condition worse than any existing any where else, and sell it to us as 100 per cent Americanisnn.
 The local merit system proponents seem to have forgotten all about the World War veterans, though the head of the local chapter appears to be connected with a concern that most profited by the war and iden- tified with that chain of concerns to whom the blame for our involve ment in the war has frequently been cast.
 Some of us were wonderful boys when we donned the uniforms and our lives appropriated to defend the Stars and Stripes, while thousands became millionaires.
 Those who drafted the State Mer- it System apparently forgot the Vet erans and the local proposed Merit System law did the same.
 Thanks to the powers that blocked the placing of the proposed-Merit System on the voting machines, the thirty five hundred World War Vet eraas of this city will now be on guard to show their due apprecia- ton for the ingratitude of the sponsors of the Merit System.
 In passing. 1t might also be in- teresting to know that the 64,000 or more veterans in the state will be- gin to smash the State Merit System law which deprived our heroes of all appreciation for their loyalty to the Stars and Stripes.
 If these so called 100 per cent Americans are so sincere to the constitution and everything else that is for the good of our country, why did they not immitate the Mer- it Systems of some other states where preference is given to a cer- tain extent to those who defended the countryis honor in time of need2
 Real Americanisn means to pro- mote our own welfare, destroy racial prejudice, which is very much an issue in this city and think of our own needy ones before thinking of those in foreign lands.

While summer air prevails during these mild October days, let us check up on some oi the Connecticut weather prognosticators. Two specialists on the subject say the direct opposite; one says clear and cold; the other, wet and warm. Their deductions were arrived at by the wind. How? It seems that during the recent autumnal equinox the wind was from the south when the sun dipped over the equator southward, so some say. A Groton weather man, however, says a northwest wind prevailed at that time, which means cold winter but not neces- sarily snow. On the other hand a North Stonington man says when the sun crossed over the wind was southward, which means a damp, mild winter. So take your choice from these two predic- tions while others are still milling over squirrels fur, caterpillars, Canadian birds, animals and so forth.

The Cold Facts

Although no official returns had been announced at the writing of this article, 1t appeared that the first and unofficial figures were reliably certain with possl- ply variations of only few votes one way or the other. Many conclusions can be drawn today. The Fusionists can claim that they achieved moral victory, or even 8 real victory, in snatching the office of controller and apparently hold ing the majority in the Board of Alder men. But one thing they can't claim is that Mayor Frank Hayes will be a minor ity mayor for the next two years.
 That was their rallying cry two years ago when the combined efforts of two parties to beat the Democrats, using two
 nayoralty candidates, failed, but their combined votes outnumbered what Mayor Hayes received Running the same candidate this year the Fusionists failed by small margin to overtake the fast-stepping Democrats. Has it occur red to anyone that the vote boiled by Mayor Frank Hayes was the highest ever given any mayoralty candidate in the history of Waterbury? His 19000 odd votes represented exactly 50 per cent of the number that were cast Tuesday. There may have been an election some CAAAAO WAAOAA VAAO WA4A4AAAAeo NeAAAAA0VS 4Ae"N e greater percentage of the votes cast, but certainly not the total Mayor Hayes received.
 On the basis of this theory it can be deducted that Senator George T. Culhane was, a minority candidate any way you look at 1t. His Republican vote was 500 less than that given Major John M Bur rall in 1885, which can be construed both ways. It could mean Republicans stuck with their Democratic Candidate or it might mean that 600 of them defaulteo. It could mean that more of them de- faulted, for certainly the COP. organ ization takes credit for bringing in some new voters this fall. If so, then it's 600 loss is actually considerably greater than the figures indicate.
 on the other hand the Independent Democrat vote is 1900 greater than it was two years ago and was proved vitally necessary to the Complete success of the bseudo Democrats and Republicans who Domhined to make up the Fusion ticket. Had the Independe Democrats held only their 2.SOO votes, as of 1885, they

In the midst of life'S perplexities there's never dull moment. There's al- ways national scandal, a couple of movie stars eloping or separating, an eclipse of the sun, or something not too trivial. Right now the Duchess of Wind sor has American women all agog over her expected visit to this country next month. They are all of dither because they had launched their sartorial display for the season. Now comes word from Paris that startling and radical changes are forecast in hats, wraps, gowns and what have you. The duchess, it seems, is one tone lady, so if you have conglom- eration of shades in your outfit for the opening of the opera season it's too bad. With trepidation one awaits the duchess.

Yank-Jap Deadlock

The relations of the United States and Japan are growing rather serious. A recent dispatch from Washington said the governments of the two countries had reached diplomatic deadlock over the question of responsibility for injury to Americans and American property in China" Our government has warned Japan repeatedly that it will hold that country accountable for damage result ing from it's military operations. The Tokio government refuses to acknowl- edge liability.
 The Tokio attitude assumes that the Japaness army has right to do what it is doing in China. The American attitude assumes that it's peaceful citizens have a right to do what they are doing, living and transacting peaceful business m China in accordance with the laws Of nations, and not to suffer violence there from intruding Japanese.
 These attitudes are irreconcilable. If Japan continues her aggressive policy, we must either fight or leave the field to her. Americans are determined not to be dragged into the war. But that will not be the end of the story. Japan, in many ways, will pay severe and lasting penalty for such rash procedure.

While the fair sex await the visit of the duchess and think of same in terms of what she will wear and what they will wear in consequence, it must not be for gotten that the duke will accompany his duchess. You will recall he was for time Edward VIII. His trip does not seem to be planned with an eye to what the well dressed man will wear, but so it is said, for the purpose of looking into housing and working conditions.

why his attitude, as Q former Klansman, is not prejudiced against them. Scores of cases like this come before the Court. There are few in which race or religion could not somehow be involved. Blacks position can be made most embarrassing if the lawyers have nerve enough.
 HOWEVER, MOST OF THEM WILL NOT HAVE THE NERVE.
 Should they challenge him, however, Justice Black alone will have the right to say whether or not he is prejudiced and should step aside. It is rule of the Court that each individual jus- tice must decide this for himself. His own conscience is his guide. There is no further appeal.
 Roosevelt Satisfied
 Close White House advisers claim that the President is sit- ting pretty on the Supreme Court issue now. He can take one of two courses:
 l. Wait Tor the events indi- cated by any insurance com- pany's actuarial table, and ap- point definitely liberal justices whenever vacancy occurs.
 2. Resume his fight only if the Court should go reactionary. So long as the Court remains liberal Roosevelt is getting what he wants-the o. K. on his New Deal legislation.
 However, those who study Hughes strategy don't think the Court will go reactionary. The chief justices basic policy last year was to make his colleagues so docile as to remove the req son for Roosevelt's court reform. In this he succeeded.
 THE QUESTION NOW IS WHETHER HE CAN, OR WANTS TO, KEEP THEM THAT WAY. IF NOT, IT IS A GOOD BET THE WHITE HOUSE WILL TROT OUT ANOTHER COURT REFORM BILL.

Confusing, Amusing This Mystery Tale
By BRUCE CATION

By BRUCE CATION "
 Richard Hull is one writer who believes in being flippant about murder. The result is Q series of mystery stories that are funny as well as puzzling: and the newest one -"The Murderers of Monty" (Put- nam: $2), Is one of the best of the lot.
 MT. Hull tells how three English men, for a gag, form an elaborate conspiracy to pretend to murder Q young chap named Monty. They let Monty in on 1t and he plays his part zestfully. One of the trio is to poison him, the second is to stab him, the thlrd is to shoot him; it all looks like good, harmless fun. X
 But when the chosen night comes, and the three pranksterS go through their appointed motions. poor Monty actually does get killed. He, gets killed three times, in fact: he iS poisoned, stabbed and shot. Which, of course, leaves the three consptra- tors in a rare fix, and leads to . neat, well4handled story of deteCtior which will, keep you guessing furi- ioiisiy. < x. w " \
