Republicans Rejected

In urging the reelection of Senator
Augustine Lonergan in its issue OF
Thursday, October 20, the New Haven
Register made plea for the entire Demo-
cratic tickets that will face the voters this
fall. That may not have been the
writer's intention, but then again 1t may
have been in the back of his mind. At
any rate in his hearty and earnest en-
dorsement of the Democratic candidate
he more than emphasized the fact that
party lines should be put aside this fall
in order that the state might give the
senior senator rousing testimonial and
return him to Washington in glory.
Republican may feel aggrieved at this
in view of the fact that they consider
they nominated very worthy candidate
to oppose Senator Lonergan in the person
Of John Danaher. 1t would seem to be
on the record, though, that the Register
favors Lonergan and urges that he be
reelected. For it is Of his splendid record
of service to his state, to his constituents,
and yes, to his party that the Register
speaks 1t admits he is party man and
praises him for being one, but it also
points out that he had sufficient courage
Of his convictions to stand up and vote
Independently when the need arose for
such action.
What is the natural thing for the aver
age voter to do if urged to vote for Sem
ator Lonergan? He'll pull the top lever
and won't bother to split if he had planned
to give his vote to either Republican or
Socialist candidates That's why we
maintain that the Register appeal to the
Connecticut electorate to support Sem
ator Lonergan is in reality plea to vote
the straight Democratic ticket. 1t Is also
criticism, mild or otherwise, of the COP
slate offered to the voters this fall. 1t
hasn't quite met the issues as it should
ITS campaign Is one o! attempted tearing
down, no upbuilding, save promises.
We are not surprised that the Register
has taken dislike to the 1888 setup. 1t

Why Do They Rearm?

To tho TURNOVER settlement OF the
rvech nroblen was worth all 1t cost
because it brought peace to Europe, 1t is
nortallv queer that the re-armament
program should be enjoying such tnriV-
ing health right now. A full fortnlght
after Mr.. Chamberlains dearly-oougnC
solution" to the crisis had gone INTO Ine
records, United Press survey snoWeo
that all the powers involved were ponsh-
ING their guns just as feverishly as II tne
crisis were still ahead OF them
London announces that Britain will
insist on parity with the strongest ar
force that may be created in Europe. Slr
John Simon declares that preparedness
is even more essential to Britain now than
it was in 1914 simultaneously, Berlin
declares that Germany has the WORLDS
strongest air force and aims to keep on
having it, and German spokesman pomt
to the British declaration as PROOF tnat

speed.
At the same time France votes ,000,-.

the Maginot line all along the SWISS Dor
der. Belgium, meanwhile, announces
plan to throw chain of havy forts along
both the French and German frontiers.
And Russia goes ahead with an expensive
plan to arm and defend the Ukraine. NOW
all of this does not sound precisely like
the Inauguration Of an era OF peace and
understanding. Bombing planes, tanks,
warships and new army corps cost money,
and in the ordinary course OF things ma
ton does not buy them unless 1t figures
II may have to use them. This new wave
of re-armament Is the cleareSt possible
indication that the war-danger is not past.
This hardly iibes with all the fine things
that were said after ChamberlainS last
talk with Hitler. Yet there Is nothing
particularly surprising about 1t, after all.
The world was tremendously relieved
when the Czech crisis passed off without
producing an immediate war; in its
relief it assumed that the problem had
postponed Now it is beginning to see
that it made mistake.
If the Czech settlement had been
achieved by a process of honest, straight
forward negotiation, things might be
different. But it wasn't. Force gained
the victory there just as truly as if battle
had actually been joined. Hitler got what
he set out to get by threatening war. The
settlement was triumph for militarism
and clear-cut defeat for the theory that
national quarrels should not be settled by
force.
What is happening now is simply the
logical sequel. The way the Czech crisis
was "solved" served notice on all Europe
that for the immediate future, at least
might makes right The inevitable
result is that the continents progress
toward a catastrophe war has been accel-
Grated.

Whether Roosevelt meant to

Is not known; because before he
came around to that point, MUIR

move.
He said that he was too young

went on to explain that too
many Of his public jobs had
been interrupted by promotion to
other posts, and this time he
wanted to stay on and finish what
he was doing.
He had resigned as Judge Of the
Recorders Court in Detroit to
become mayor Of that city. Again,
he had resigned as Mayor in order
to become encouragement OF
the Philippines, resigning from
that in turn to run for governor
Of Michigan.
Now, he told the President, he
wanted to finish his work as
governor of Michigan before he
went on to anything else.
BY an ironic twist Of fate, IL

New York, Oct. 20 A major
tragedy, it seems to us, is the case
of Elise winston. Elise is so pretty
that she was chosen Miss New
York" in a statewide contest prior
to the recent Atlantic City beauty
pageant. That she narrowly missed
being Miss America was due only TO
faulty vision of the judges, her
friends maintain.
Anyway, you'd think that Miss
New York would have no trouble
wedging q way into career in any
of the lavish girl shows that are on
view here. But two impresarios re-
jected her because she is two inches
shorter than q show-girls standard
height! And so the runner-up IN

Selected Poem
WAGON WEATHER
(Charles Malam in the New York Times

(Charles Malam in the New York Times)
This is wagon weather on the farm
The grumble Of the heavy wheels gives warning
Cold Is coming and the cold means harm.
In the meadow mist from early morning
Until the cold moon points the ridgepole vane
There's a sound Of cutters voices calling,
Baskets filing barrels loading, plain
AS sounded music, and the wagons hauling.
It almost seems the neighbors of the ground
Have human features and are human neighbors;
Potatoes boxed make a contented sound;
The embers OF cold apples warm our labors;
The corn shocks stand like soldiers in their places
The pumpkins grin and practice making faces.

Five states have already shown enthu-
siasm for the proposed Mississippi Park
way plan. They are Minnesota, Iowa,
Missouri, Arkansas, and Louisiana. The
road, as we mentioned before, would be
1000 miles long and would parallel the
river from Minnesota down to the Gulf
of Mexico. Our query as to what will be
done when that Old Man River goes on
rampage still goes unanswered. We note
that much of the route will lie close to
the river-banks. Where the river makes
some strange curves and bends, the high
way, however, will divert and cut across
country to save mileage. Every bridge
that crosses the stream will be linked
with the parkway and the route will be
diverted to cut through all the import
ant parks, reservations, forests, etc., that
may lie in its course. 1t will be four

It looked like gold rush for time
down there in Fairfield County the other
day. Only the prospectors were looking
for trees. And most of them who looked
for them got them and removed them.
Where the Merritt Parkway crosses an
estate in Fairfield some one passed out
the word that all the trees on the states
property could be had free of charge.
So there was a descent upon the scene by
hundreds who heard the story through
some channel. The trees were many :.nd
beautiful - blue spruce, red pine, arbor
vitae, Douglas fir, etc. No one gave per

DR.. Albert N. JorgenSon, president OF
Connecticut State College, was reported
by the press of the state as advocating
creation Of a subscription fund whereby
facilities at the college might be enlarged
and brought up to present-day demands
in a recent address in New Haven. IL
seems bit drastic when the. head OF our
only state institution of this nature IS
forced to seek the aid Of the citizens OF
Connecticut to finance public institu-
ton. Certainly this is a sad commentary
on the part that Connecticut has played
in the past in turning out well-educated
men and women.
And this crying need at Storrs is not
new one, either. It has existed for some
few years now, or ever since It's FACULTY
and its directors realized that their 1nStl-
tuition was no longer in the "cow-college"
class, as it often was referred to. Today
Connecticut State College is an 1nstltu-
ton of which each and every one OF us
can be proud. It is one to which any
man might send his son or daughter and
feel assured that they will receive thor
ought training in any number OF Spec1-
fed courses. It has outgrown the status
of an agricultural college and Is rapidly
nearing university classification in
everything save number of students, mag
nificence and extent of facilities.
Several years ago when the deficiencies
of Connecticut State College were enum-
Grated, we felt ashamed to think that our
legislators would permit such a situation
to occur. We thought at the time that
everything possible would be done to
change and remedy the situation. And
truthfully speaking something has been
done, but not enough. There will be a
new library at Storrs and there may be
additional dormitory facilities, but when
a boy outgrows short pants and goes into
long ones, you've got to change more
than merely the trousers. The same with
the college at. Storrs.
And when we think that its president
must go out on, the highways and byways
and seek financial aid, well, that doesn't
seem quite fair. 1t may be good way to
acquaint the public with the crying needs,
but certainly the State has moral obi
cation to do all in its power for its only
college, one whose reputation is growing
and whose confines should, too, spread.
