Politics and Prosperity

Hard times produce more critical and discerning electorate. A hungry voter IS a careful voter. Candidates of both narties in the state and in the nation had better talk facts and common sense, for it is a bad year to hide behind slogans or misleading phrases. Connecticut Demo- crats and those in many other states have shown how meaningless are the phrases 'tliberal" and "100 Per Cent New Deal". To most of them Liberal" has meant "too liberal' with the public money - their money - "too liberal" with taxes, which oppress everyday business and destroy work and jobs.
 The word Humanitarian" can be over- worked and overdone, also because there is nothing so humanitarian as giving an honest, ambitious American a job - regular job - his old job. There is no greater social security than regular job = full-time job - and, right now an assured 40-hour week is much more important than maximum or minimum '40-hour week.
 We have been through very severe depression-out of it-and into another. We have got to tighten our belt-balance the budget-live within our national in- come - stop piling up debt on our CnllQreQ - SUdTC uGCIcdSlIlS, IiOC HUI ing taxes - encourage capital to invest and employ - cure unemployment in the regular way - restore confidence and unite, not separate, our people in com mon effort of good will. A debt-ridden nation like debt-burdened business man is headed for bankruptcy - moral as well as financial.
 There is morning after" a'spending spree for nation as well as an individual. This does not mean that relief of the worthy must be discontinued at all, but we must adopt promptly such measures as will get men back to their regular jobs and full weeks work and pay envelope. While no one may be willing to shoot Santa Claus, it is possible to kill the poor fellow with overwork.
 The whole situation calls for common sense and plain talk by the candidates to the people. The American people can take 1t = are willing to face the facts and will be most impressed with frank state- ment of facts, not fancies

Mad Dog Prison Study

The field of prison study, said J. Q. Holsopple, chief psychologist of the New Jersey Department of Institutions and Agencies, In a talk before the American Association of Applied Psychologists, has In it too many people who don't know what they are doing.
 "There is evidence that the field
 has been bit crowded with neo-
 phytes, amateurs, ambitious hacks,
 persons with characteristics diSquali-
 lying them from other positions, and
 a few with a missionary zeal and
 sacrificial attitude which is no help
 to their scientific attitude. Many
 prison wardens have been constantly
 subjected to sadistic propaganda
 enanating from penologists and
 criminologists of the mad dog
 school"
 What MT. Holsopple would like to see is a sane and careful study made by trained psychologists who would in scientific manner accumulate data which could be used in practical prison reform
 There is much to be said for the under taking of such a survey. Neither the zealot who would change every prisoner over night by the special religious means preferred by the individual zealot, nor the OptlmlSClc eQucaCOr W1O CnlnKS that all prisoners need is education, nor yet the cruel sadist who thinks every prisoner mad dog incapable of responding to any kindness or effort has the whole story. For criminals are as varied in their qual- tiles and their needs and capabilities as the general public outside prison walls.
 Human decency in their care is pri- mary function of the state. Beyond that, there is great field about which little is known. If the psychologists can get somewhere with it, the world will be grateful Certainly the improvement in pen0iogy by other people has gone very slowly through many centuries.

Radios Inventor Laments


 Any proud parent who knows what it is like to raise promising infant and see him turn into drug store cowboy should be able to sympathize with pr. Lee De Forest.
 Dr. De Forest is the father-or one of the fathers, anyway-of modern radio. And when he celebrated his 65th birth- day recently, reporters who dropped in to find out what he thought of his brain child were greeted with this reply: "Isn't it sickening?"
 Then Dr. De Forest went on to explain that he has, after all, suffered the com mon fate of parents That is, his promis- ing child didn't turn out at all the way it's father had expected it to.
 "Not only are the programs poor, too much swing and grooming" Dr. De Forest went on, "but the commercial interrup- tionS are maddening It isn't at all as imagined it would be.
 "The way envisioned it, stations would have been specialized would play symphonic music and opera another, educational, and another, dramatics, and so on. In that way you'd know exactly what you'd hear at any point on the dial.
 There is no denying that Dr. De Forest had fair vision, and it is equally unde- niable that what he got missed the vision by thousand miles. But if it is any comfort to him, he suffered not only the common fate of parents but also the com mon fate of American inventors. An in- ventor in this unpredictable land of ours never knows just what his invention is going to do when it is turned loose in the world.
 We aren't particularly orderly people, and we have great way of giving the people what they want. It happens that more people in this land want swing music, grooming, hillbilly comedies, and gangster dramas than want highbrow music; consequently, that is the fare that is provided.
 Sooner or later we shall probably in1- prove things bit Public taste does rise, slowly but surely. When it has risen far enough, its rise will be reflected in the popular arts - radio, movies, and other media Of expression Until it does, those media may be the despair of the cultured but there won't be much of anything the cultured can do about it.

There has been so much talk of war for week or more that one could almost hear the sound of guns. But with no country desiring war, will such a thing come to pass? We are interested in read ing an article by German refugee in an outstanding Catholic weekly The refu- gee refers to an article in "Das Neue Taage-Buch" in which the editor ana lyzes the situation (this analysis came before the events of the past week. thus: that Hitler does not want war, merely a war scare. This refugee writer states further: Hitler does not want suicide, as war now would be suicide for Germany. He wants to get as much out of blackmail as possible in order to win better diplomatic and strategic positions for the real light ming stroke to come. He can only accom- plish that by feigning plan to run amuck over Europe. England desires only peace. And this desire for peace is very import ant factor in Hitler's plan. It can be used to force Prague to surrender everything now threatening the general strategical position" The writer goes on to explain that the present show, that is now taking our attention in the headlines and at reg ular intervals over the radio, lis bluff" "Mr. Hitler" he says, is not interested in Sudeten Germans To him, although himself of Sudeten stock, they are just 'Bohemians', tribe of weak, unreliable exaggeratorS." Thus does the writer proceed to say that Hitler has no more use for these SudetenS than he had for the Austrians. So, according to this Ger man refugee, and many another, or for that matter anyone who fully under stands Hitler and what he stands for, it's just question of getting ready now for future when Hitler's boundaries will have expanded appreciably as they seem to be doing.

South Norwalk, Conn.,,
 September 20, 1888. Editor of The Democrat:
 Any observant reader who keeps his eyes upon the political situation in the State of Connecticut is aware that there is but one party which represents the political interests of labor. That party is the Socialist Labor Party which in 1888, as in other Connecticut elections, will have a complete slate of candidates on the official ballot.
 For more than thirty years, the Socialist Labor Party has been the only organization declaring that the working class has no stake in main- taining the capitalist system and likewise the only organization ad- vancing a program for the estab- lishment of society on @ new basis, 1. e. the Socialist Industrial Repub- lie of Labor. It is to this positive goal which the Socialist Labor Party bends its efforts.
 And when the programs of the other parties are examined, 1t is strikingly apparent that in 1888 once again it will be case of the

DEER AT THE SALT LICK

Ignace Paderewski at 78 seems to have untold reserve strength. In his earlier years he was beset with set-backs and ill., nesses; he suffered neuritis in his hands and arms. But he became one of the worlds greatest pianists; by some con- sidered the greatest. This past year he has been screened in a picture in which he presents piano recital. The picture is called ''The Moonlight Sonata. In few short days he is to make his first ap- pearance on the air in America. From the Lausanne studios in Switzerland he will play an hours recital. Paderewski cele- brates his 78th birthday next month. He has had practically twenty successful concert tours in this country since 1891. Now he comes to his American public over the air.

INDIAN SUMMER

 Is there really any such thing as Indian summer7 It is not listed among the seasons, yet to many 1t Is as real as the other four. Never mind too much scientific exactitude or reliance on calendars. Indian Summer is here when 1t feels like Indian Summer! There are signs, to be sure, like the harvesting of pumpkins, the Mcintosh Reds, Grimes Golden, and Northern Spies; haze on the hills, pungent fragrance of wood smoke, reddening of the sumac, silence of birds in the nnea- dow and woodland, warm sun in the quiet midday, but early coolness when 1t drops behind the hill. And before long, honking sQuadrons of wild waterfowl will scud southward and the harvest moon will reign the sky.

Socialist Labor Party against the Field" Whereas all the other par ties advocate various reforms of cap italism, the Socialist Labor Party declares that capitalism mas outlived its usefulness to the majority of the American people, and that they must sooner or later organize for its overthrow by uniting on a def- mite program seeking that end. This is no idle theorizing, but a burning question that demands so- lution if reaction is to be averted and the possibility of plenty for all made a reality.
 To the average non-politically minded voter who goes to the polls on election day, the array of par- ties to be found on the ballot is in deed confusing. Those of us who are members of the Socialist Labo; Party are anxious that our fellow working men and women should understand the true nature of all the parties appearing on the bal- lot. We urge every worker to ex- anime the principles of our party and equally carefully the principles of the other parties seeking support of the working class, ana find out for themselves why the Socialist Labor Party is the political party of the working class.
 In the 1888 Connecticut State Election, the following parties will probably have their candidates on the official ballot, and in the fol- lowing order: Democratic Party, Republican Party, Socialist Party, Socialist Labor Party, Communist Party, Labor Party.
 Workers should observe that the names of two of the other parties are similar to that of the Socialist Labor Party and are likely to be confused with it. Consequently, particular care should be exercised in distinguishing between them. Voters are urged to realize, regard less of what candidates are nomin- ated by other parties. they stand and will stand for the perpetuation of the capitalist system, which operates for the benefit of the ca- pitalist class. The platform and candidates of the Socialist Labor Party are dedicated to the aboli- tion of capitalism through the poe litical and industrial organization of the working class.
 When the working class has or ganized itself into the Socialist In- dustrial Union, then, and then only, will society be able to resume hu- man progress, momentarily stopped by the fact that capitalism has outived its usefulness and is now disintegrating. The goal of the working class is Socialism, the CO., operative ownership and operation of the industries. The change to the new system of society can be accomplished in the near future and in an orderly manner by labor organizing itself politically and in- dustrially as advocated by the So. cialist Labor Party.
 Readers who desire copies of the Socialist Labor Party state plat form in the present campaign may obtain them by writing to the un- dersigned. We believe that an ex. animation of the principles enun- ciated in this document should be made by every voter in Connecti- cut, for In the adoption of these principles by the American work ing class lies the only solution to the social problem.
