Col. Shanahan's Merit

No hands or wet eyes were noticed Monday at the departure from the clty comptroller's office of the well KnoWu and popular William J. Shanahan, WHO for a period of 30 years or over, except Ill the service of his country, has marked the record of this good living citizen m tne service of the city of his birth. But It was different years ago when the call to arms was received, when hundreos oi our young men were called to the 1ront to fight for their country. Bill Shananan was among the number. The puollG shook his hand, tearfully bade nm gooo bye, and wished and prayed TOT ms ie, turn when the war ended. And ne olo return, after brilliant record across, war hero, one who spent his lie III the military of Connecticut, and who was we'll qualified to lead his forces III the office of captain he enjoyed while Ill Ihe lines.
 There was not then, nor is there now, anv cowardice with Bill Shanahan. He marched off at time when the present city comptroller and others looked on, and waved fond goodbye to him.
 For OUT part we cannot understand It; where is the legislation that keeps veter- ans of the Shanahan type in of1ce, JusC so long as they are competent. It IS III effect in New York and other states. But Connecticut apparently forgets it's sol diers of the World War, and worse yeo, the leaders of the various military unlts have been slow and derelict in not pre- senting and forcing the adoption Of laws that would prevent just what happened to Lieut.. Col. Shanahan this week.
 No one questions the ability of Col Shanahan. We could go back and inter- view the we'll known M. J. Russell, under whom he served in the comptrollers office for the first time MT. Russell would gladly tell of his ability as an attachee: So could all of the others who followed him.
 Merit, however, the same kind Of merit we hear so much about in the newspapers these days, cut no figure in the case or this Captain of the Military sources or the World War The change that brought about MT. Shanahan's dismissal, we understand, met with the approval or the Waterbury merit system. Yes, MT. Shanahan is a Democrat, and ordinarily should go; still, we think one who has sacrificed time and money to fight TOT his country as this faithful city employe has done, should be excepted.

Once again the subject of buying Lower California from Mexico comes to the fore. Efforts are being made to have Uncle Sam put some of his money to this purpose in the near future, if and when President Cardenas of Mexico lends listening ear. Judging by recent events in Mexico, though, it's nationaliza- tion program wouldn't encompass any such proposal as taking rich slice off the nation and handing it over to the "big brother" above the Rio Grande. Legislation has already or will be shortly introduced in Congress calling upon this nation to buy Lower California. One pro- ponent of the plan even goes so far as to urge also the purchase of Sonora in addition to Lower California. One of the claims of those in favor of the purchase is that Millions of our unemployed could go to this vast territory, which has millions of acres of tillable land, tropical forests of fine lumber, hydro-electric power resources, the richest fisheries on the coast, and great stands of beautiful beaches . :" And Mexico is going to sell all this? Hardly!

Planned Spending

While tempest rages throughout the nation over President Franklin D. Roosevelt's plan to have the nation em- bark on new spending spree ln Wnlcn billions. not millions, will be placed m channels destined to carry these tundS into the pockets of the average man ana woman not keeping pace with the world right now. the wise community is that ore which plans for the day when these funds will be released. Many city or town will have no part Of borrowed funds even if Uncle Sam is most gener- ous in his terms of borrowing But others realize that necessity changes the con- plexion of everything.
 An average American community like Waterbury might go over it's physicai makeup and discover, for example, that since the Roosevelt regime took control of the nation, it had secured so-many miles of new sewers; it might have three new parks and playgrounds; it might have a school swimming pool or even an athletic field. The projects that PWA and WPA funds made possible are many ana varied. But in our own instance there is still much to be done that might possibly come to pass in the event the spending spree' becomes reality.
 We are still moving slowly towards the dav when pollution of the Naugatuck river will cease. We need a sewage plant before this is possible; we need ample trunk sewers to care for the existing and needed laterals. It can be condensed into a few sentences, but the work is both expensive and time-consuming. Still other communities have been progressive enough to push the entire job to comple- tion. Waterbury surely is bound to reach the completed stage some day, but if some kind fortune enabled the job to be completed year or two earlier, we'll, the opportunity should not be overlooked.

Sciences Ignored

It is strange fact that new discoveries and inventions in medicine and the more mechanical sciences are accepted by the public without question and are promptly used. New ideas from the social sciences, on the other hand, are generally received coldly, with superstition and prejudice. Their application is resisted so strongly that social progress lags far behind prog reSs in other fields.
 We have the knowledge to correct most of our social ills, but we lack what an authority calls Social acceptance. He adds that man "gives the impression of heading blindly toward the destruction of what he has created. What is the cause of this reluctance to make social and economic discoveries useful? Is edu- cation at fault? Is it natural human selfishness and greed? Or merely slow mindedness in field where we have long accepted old ways as natural and permanent?

Rep. Herman P. Kopplemann of Hart ford is going to condemn the telegraph lobby" in remarks that he will make next Sunday during broadcast from WTIC. The Hartford legislator has already come out in opposition to this type of tactics, no doubt influenced by the avalanche of tele- grams that flooded Congress during de- bate and voting on the reorganization bill. We wonder if the Congressman recalls signing a letter of protest about the Spanish civil war. It caused consider able furore, as did all the signatures. This, too, is form of lobby or propa- ganda, perhaps as inimical to some peo- pie as the telegraph lobby" is to Rep. Kopplemann.

 New England Flavor
New England Flavor
HARTFORD COURANT

paw of maritime trade to boast about, this exhibit, comprising a 150-foot vessel of the clipper type tied between two buildings of the Bulfinch style of architecture, seems as representative as the New Eng land white church steeple. Many people still remember New England for its commerce and picturesque Waterfronts, and few visitors to the Fair will have to guess twice about the subject when they see the tall masts of the ship poking above the modernistic buildings of the Fair.
 The question has probably already been raised as to the suitability of an exhibit which is essentially characteristic of New England in the days when oceanic trade was heavy in harbors like Salem and Portsmouth and up and down rivers such as the Connecticut. Undoubt- edly the state Fair commissions have already decided that the waterfront scene is as good as an exhibit of the looking-ahead variety although not precisely typical of a group of states known today for machine and textile industries, winter and summer sport facilities and for a climate which, although the subject of many jokes, is still generally considered ideal. Whether an acceptable exhibit could be devised that adequately conveyed the spirit of the New Eng land of the future is certainly de- batable.
 The exhibit under consideration, however, should certainly stand out in setting of imaginative but at times uninteresting modernism. It should convey to visitors a vision of a group of states, among the oldest in the country, changing and prog ressing. Always these states have been active and optimistic, adapt ing themselves with ingenuity to changes when necessary, fighting for growth with Yankee shrewdness. Proud old New England deserves an exhibit at the New York Worlds Fair that does justice to her past, present and future.

Thus Great Britain, which long stood aloof from the Asiatic war and was apparently resigning China to Japanese conquest, now prepares to come to the rescue. There may have been some secret cooperation before, but the present help full attitude, while avoiding active partici- patton in the war, is open.
 It not only shows friendly interest in Chinese success, but suggests that the long-headed statesmen who guide the destinies of the British Empire have decided that the Chinese, after all, have a chance to win. The better chance they seem to have, the more Britain will help them America too, perhaps.

announced that he was going to solve the grass problem of the three-shaded White House lawns. He said that he had 8 special shade grass which grows at his home in Uvalde. So the other day a friend inquired if he had sent the White House the prom ised grass seed.
 "Oh, I don't want to presume to tell them how to run the place." Garner replied.
 'T don't think you would be presuming," his friend replied. "The White House lawns cer- tainly could use some durable grass"
 "Humph," snorted Garner acidly, "that isn't the only thing they could use around there." Big Business Move
 w. Averell Hartman, one-time mogul of the MIRA, and chief power in the Union Pacific Rail- road, has been in Washintgon re- gently conferring on how big business and the New Deal can get together for the mutual pur- pose of hoisting the country out of the recession.
 The idea evolved jointly by Har- rison and some of the practical minded New Dealers is to get definite pledges from some of the big companies regarding how much they woulud be willing to spend on new equipment, new i'm provements and on other moves
 that would put men to work.
 In return is proposed sort of moratorium on reform" until business picks up.
 It is too early yet to say what will come of the discus siOns, but Hartman is doing his best to persuade some of his big business colleagues that now is the time to get busy and all money of their own to the government spending program.
 NOTE-W. A. Hartman is the son of the great railroad financier who got control of the Union Pacific during the last century and engaged in the famous race with Jim Hill for control of the Northern Pacific. Harrison, ST., was bitterly denounced by Presi- dent Theodore Roosevelt, but young Hartman has been CO., operating with Franklin Roosevelt.
 Young Hartman is also power in Western Union, the Illinois Central Railway, the Guaranty Trust, and Brown Brothers Harri- man & Go.

In other places the skies wept copiously long before the last well-dressed man and woman had left the streets.

Selected Poem
BALLAD FOR BINGO
(W. D. Morse, West Haven, in the New Haven Journal Courier)


 7 P. M. Saturday Oh, let's go down to Bingo, down to Savin Rock, And see if we can win lot of dough. To be sure the rent is due next Monday, And we have no clothes for Sunday, But come on wife and grille, down we'll go. It may only cost three dollars, So why all these frantic hollers? Tonight may be lucky time to win Yes know we haven't paid the bread man. The milk man, coal man, egg man, And the butchers always trying to get in.
 Midnight, Saturday Well come on baby come on mother, This nights been just like any other, We threw away a lot of needed cash Some other folks were lucky Come on dear, smile be plucky. Now if we'd only copped the door prize Or the sweepstakes, like those fat guys Who didn't need the money half so bad. We could pay the taxes oil and water, Get some clothes for wife and daughter, And pipe that didn't clog for good old Dad. So kindly stop your crying, That we're slowly, surely dying, Do you want to make our baby hate her pappy? Some day we'll be big winners, And have lot of turkey dinners. Now slip me the baby's bank book; make it snappy.
