No Changes In Connecticut

Tuesdays elections brought no changes in mayoralties in this state. In Hartford, New Haven, and Bridgeport, incumbent mayors were returned to office. And in all three instances there was no doubt about the outcome Overwhelming maiorities were the rule in all three ir1- stances. Mayor Thomas J. Spellacy, rum ming for one of the few elective offices to which he had been named two years ago by council vote, was an easy victor in Hartford. The democratic vote in Hart ford was encouraging to party leaders everywhere as well as the city leaders.
 The result was just about the same down in New Haven where Mayor John w. Murphy is beginning to pile up an impressive record. This will be his fourth term and if we're not mistaken each successive victory for the former labor leader has found him running further and further ahead. His majority of close to 15,000 must establish some sort of record won in the Elm City. And if 1t doesn't, certainly the manner in which Mayor Jasper McLevy, Socialist mayor of Bridgeport, handcuffed two opponents, Democrat and Republican, is convincing enough. He not only showed them under, but his vote total was more than twice as great aS CAe1TS put COgeCHeF.
 Beyond the state interest naturally centered in New York City, where predic- tions ran true to form and Mayor Fiorello La Guardia piled up the highest vote ever given mayoralty candidate. He ran far ahead of Jeremiah Mahoney and at this writing seemed to have carried his ticket along to success. The fact, too, that he has administered two successive beatings to Tammany Hall also adds to his prowess. Any doubt about La Guardia being around when presidential nomina- tions are discussed and handed out in either major political party convention and get away with 1t.
 Also stepping afield 1t is interesting to note that labor election out in Detroit did not fare so well. The avowed candi- conceded defeat to Richard Reading. Elections in this city are non-partisan, but the C1O had come out strong for Patrick H. O,Brien and had announced plans to take over the city government. They failed for reasons which undoubt- edly were mere local than national. In Boston 1t looks as If that hardy peren- n1al, James M Curley, who has held about every political plum the voters of that city and the state at large could give him, was on the losing end. Maurice J. Tobin was apparently the winner in free-for- all battle that had staid old Boston on its tiptoes for the last week or so.
 As to possible effects on the 1888 con- gressional and state elections, it's hard to say which way the wind is blowing. Offhand there doesn't seem to be any let-up in Democratic weather in this state. National policies may have shaped some elections, but in the majority local prevailed. The outcome for 1888 is ur- changed right now unless before the time rolls around the Republicans manage to get settled with Herbe Hoover, John Hamilton or Ali M. Landon ruling the rOOSt

Selected Poem
OLD FISHERMAN

(T Morris Longstreth in the New York Times) Daily he comes there to the shrunken pool, Made secret by it's wind-guard c: old pine To smoke his pipe and loiter Dy the cool Sweet water like Times truant, with his line. Even a child would know no fish are left For streams like men may fall or evil days, Yet he still fingers where his joy ran swift As trout leaping .. Now the dusty rays Of afternoon lie golden on the land And the tall dark creeps nearer from the wood, And there he stoops, the old rod in his hand For one last try before he goes for good
 The line floats out-though not to water flung
 But far upon the days when he was young.

The large number of brush fires in the last week or so is due'not so much to the fact that we haven't had rain every day or that winds have been high, but, to put 1t very plainly, to carelessness. Wed like to wager that most of the fires that the local department is called upon to extinguish, and now we're referring to the brush variety, that they demand ex- pert attention simply because the one responsible for them was at fault Either proper precautions weren't taken to pre- vent the small pile of burning rubbish spreading or the fire was just let burn any way 1t pleased. It's costly business putting out fires.

We note that hunters are complain ing about the lack of birds in local woods and undercover. They also state that fish were scarce this year. Too much experimentation by the state is blamed locally for the scarcity. We often won- dered if it might not be that there are far too many sportsmen today, anxious to get the limit every time out. We admit too little knowledge of modern stocking methods, but for long time we have won- dered if we aren't taking away more than we're giving.

per cent pledge in such transactions. The big advantage the "bear operators" have had lately is now swept away by federal rule requiring 50 per cent deposit.
 The combined effect of the two meas ures, if long continued, might be not merely a wholesome relation of security prices, but an unwholesome infla. ton sustained by government pressure. That would be as objectionable as the evil we are fleeing from. There will have to be great care and impartiality in the use of these powerful controls.

Members of the Police Department, particularly the accident squad, are de- serving of congratulations for the work they did in solving one of the city's recent hit-and-run fatalities. It was no easy task to piece together the meagre clues that were found at the scene of the tragedy on Thomaston avenue, several hours after the pedestrian had been moved down by a motorcar. Neverthe- less that is what was done. A few valu- able clues supplied by observant persons enabled the police to take their leads" and make an arrest. It is to be hoped that the same vigilance will be rewarded by an arrest in the first hit-and-run fatal ity which occurred week before the one just broken. If persistency counts for anything the police will get the responsi- ble person or persons. Perhaps arrest of one culprit will lead others to seek free- dom from the mental torture that only hit-and-run driver can labor under when the crime remains unexpiated.

 Finally, as Welles was about to break away, g photographer called out, "JuSt one more, Mir. Secretary"

 Union-Busting Plan
 Behind the row over the s. s. Algic is a far more rnomentouS issue than the fate of . dozen seamen alleged to have mutinied at Montevideo. The Maritime Commission and COS National Maritime Union really are feuding over Q secret Commission plan that would wipe out independent seamen and rec place them with government trained enlisted men.
 Briefly, the proposal is this: The Maritime Commission would take over Q Coast Guard station in New York and convert 1t into Q training school for ap- prentice seamen. These would be trained by the Coast Guard. After completing their school ing they would be assigned to merchant ships operating under government subsidies and would be paid . fixed scale of wages.
 The total annual cost is esti- mated by the Commission at $l,- 500,000, In five years 1t Is fig- ured that the government sea. men would completely replace non-enlisted men. This would spell finis, of course, for the Maritime Union.
 Mystery
 Sponsor of the proposal was Commissioner IT. A. Wiley, a re- tired rear admiral and militant anti-unionite. Where he got the idea is o complete mystery.
 It was first offered by Wiley several weeks before the Algic re- turned to the U. s. from the strike in Montevideo. At. that time, the commissions reception was frigid.
 "This would mean the end of the union- controlled hiring halls, wouldn't it?" Wiley was asked.
 "It would," he admitted.
 The commission voted the plan, four to one. But after the Union attacked Chairman Joe Kennedy on behalf of the Algic sailors, c special meeting of tho commission suddenly was called, and Wileys proposal was re- opened.
 The vote this time also was { to but on the other side of the fence. The dissenter was Com- missioner Edward Moran, who led the fight against the plan at the first meeting.
 The entire CIO high command is now up in arms and ready to raise an uproar in Congress next week.

 On October thirtieth the heroine of Longfellow's famous narrative poem, "Evangeline," and the scenes of her wandering in search of her lost sweetheart, will be reacted in Louisiana and, to a lesser degree, elsewhere. Gov. Richard w. Leche, the Acadians of the southern state, and many celebrities will partici- pate in the commemoration of this true story. Interest will be focused in the development of the Longfel- low -Evangeline memorial park, also in the proposed Longfellow-Evan- geline international highw planned to link the Grand Pre- val- ley of Canada's Nova Scotia with Louisiana.
 Ninety years ago the American epic was published. It pictures the forced evacuation of the French in- habitants of Acadia. later rechrist- ened Nova Scotia, by the British in l755.

She never married. Kaw- thorne, Longfellow and Whittier had each contemplated doing the story. Though Whittier had made extensive preparations. he enthusi- astlcally welcomed the Longefellow work as "an American poem with the lack of which Britiesh reviewers have SO long. approached us."
 The celebration will bring back to the Grand Pre- residents the his- tory of their valley. The millions who have read "Evangeiine." in school or outside. will learn that the original five thousand Acadians have increased eightyfold in the nearly two centuries since they set- tied in the Bayou Teche country Incidentally, they still speak the French of old Acadia. retain the same customs, and dress in the styles that their forefathers pre- feFred long ago.

It is opened to the public from January to May l, from 2 a. m. until dark. Admis- sion $20O.
 o. Why does the Moon rise later each day?
 A. The moon makes one complete circuit around the earth eastward from a given star back to the same star again in 27 1-3 days. The earth moves around the sun about 27 de- grees in the same length of time. Consequently, the moon must have time to move the 2 extra degrees before it can get back to the same position relative to the sun. If it is on the meridian one night at 10 o'clock, then the following night at the same time it's position among the stars will be B degres east of the previous night. But in the in- terim the sun will have moved about 1 degree eastward among the stars. so that the moon will be l2 degrees further east of the sun, and at 10 o'clock lacks about i2 degrees of being on the meridian, and will not cross 1t until the earth has had time to rotate through this angle of l2 degrees. The earth rota.es 1 degree 1 nabout { minutes. Thus the moon must cross the meridian on the aver age of about 5l times later every day.
