Permanent Relief

We don't blame residents Of those areas
which border on the Naugatuck River
and which are regularly damaged by
flood waters to seek relief from the city
fathers. The condition has existed for
SO many years now that it's hard for
those who suffer from the flood waters
to command any attention. But events OF
the last two years, we think, have conferred
all eyes on the dangers of flood waters
and as a consequence we believe that the
city will probably now take steps to
remedy conditions along. North Riverside
Street and such other thoroughfares as
may be affected.
A plan was submitted by the City Engi-
neer which calls for expenditure OF half
q million dollars to remedy the situation.
This cost seems excessive and, IN fact,
was ridiculed by those who appeared to
protest the conditions, but did not seek
q remedy at so high a price as this. 1t
may be high and it may be excessive, but
certainly the city's engineering depart
ment ought to know what it's talking
about, particularly so in this instance.
However, If the Job can be done satisfac-
torily for far less than this there will be
no kick coming from the taxpayers.
We can see eye to eye, though, with
CITY Engineer Root that merely to dredge
ont q deeper channel in the river and
remove such distractions as now cause
the stream to back up and overflow at
many points won't answer the purpose.
That Job would have to be repeated at
regular intervals and in no time the cost
would have mounted far beyond the orig
inal estimate for permanent job. A
thorough discussion of the problem and
continued study of the situation may
reveal some means of combating the river
at flood stages with more reasonable
cost attached.

This is a fall of discomfort for many
individuals in our talr
sstate Sfalwart after stalWart has tallen
in preliminary skirmishes for place on
local tickets or else for party control. we
recited a list of Republican Leaders VINO
failed of denomination to the Leglslasuts
recently. That list is still oelng aooeo
TO bv both parties. Democrats, 100, can
take stock of many casualties, Letne
snents defaults, etc. The very iaCesC
occurred this week when the veteran
State Senator, Judge william HagealCy
III New Britain was defeated Tor renon-
ination by School Commlssioner John L.
Sullivan. c..
And last week in Hartford State Sen
ator Joseph P. Cooney proved satlsfac-
torilv that he now controls, together Win
others, the party machinery in that city:
II was hailed variously by the press OF
the state, all naturally concluding that
il was a remarkable victory for the cru
sading Senator, but many regarding the
Situation, too, as the political death OF
Mavor Thomas ]. Spellacy. We recalled
on reading this that some years ago the
political death of Mr.. Spellacy was an
bounced, Somehow or other he contln-
ned to live and not only that but came
back to his greatest political triumphss
probably in his selection as Mayor OF
Hartford by the city council and his cleo
ton two years later in his own right.
The veteran legislator, Julius G. Strem-
lau of Meriden will not be back IN the
Senate. AS State Liquor Commissioner
he did not choose to run for renomlna-
ton. Neither did Senator Matthew A.
Dalv of New Haven, but he did designate
q successor and the successor was de-
feated for the nomination. And so II
goes down the lengthy list of senator's
and representatives. Even the dean OF
the Senate, our own "Joe" Lawlor will be
among the missing, unballoted upon
this fall. Whatever party gains ascen-
dancy in the legislative elections, new
faces will be prominent in the assem-
blage next January

Laynen's Faith

The most important of President
RooSevelt's recent utterances perhaps, is
not state paper or political speech,
but just a little sermon 1t appeared in
his letter to Archbishop Joseph Francis
Rumn1el of New Orleans on the occasion
OF the Eighth National Eucharistic Con-
greSs. It was simple expression of his
belief that there is probably no problem
in the world today - social, political or
economic - that would not find a happy
solution If approached in the spirit Of the
Sermon on the Mount"
1t is by no means an unfamiliar idea.
Business and professional men have
joined the ministers in expressing such
views. Many insist that the principles
set forth in. that great Sermon are eco
nomic and political truths just as much
as religious truths Some Of our leading
economists and editors are inclined to
think that, for practical modern living,
you can boil the whole thing down to the
Golden Rule, or that the simple principle
Good win, If generally practiced, would
solve these economic, political and inter-
national problems that are now tearing
the world apart.

Selected Poem
THE HUNTERS MOON

(By Charles L. H. Wagner In the Boston POST
I watched the silver monarch of the night
Full-orbed and gorgeous slowly mount and climb
And with It's cold, chaste cleaning yellow light
The earth, transformed, seemed clothed In gstehng
rime. tt4ftbs
The liquid softness OF fair Lunas beams
A halo spread on every object kissed,
And diamonds flashed above the wales and streams
Where rose the flmy and transparent mist.
The Hunters Moon, full round and glowing soft,
It's silver radiance painting gorse and wood,
Bold Nimrod gazes from his blind aloft
with grateful heart for Natures brotherhood.
October's suns are rich with kindly glow,
They warm the heart, but yellow moonlight cold
Awakes the soul and its blanched rays bestow
A calm that settles like a shroud Of gold.
NO poets rhymes can picture such delight
AS hallowed trees kissed BY such silver lips
Possessed by the slow moving queen Of night
AS down the arched armament 1t dips.
This Hunters Moon brings thoughts Of mystic Joy
To all who revel In Its dazzling power,
DAVIS FURNISHED brass 1t softens with alloy
And tranquil peace descends each passing hour.
To me this orb is more than guide or friend,
It proves the love that fashioned moon and star,
Its cons with the present merge apd blend
And God directs its movement from afar.

There was meeting of the Caribou
Maine, Chamber of Commerce, the other
evening at which the momentous topic
OF having Aroostook County secede from
Maine and become separate state was
discussed. We don't know how seriously
this was discussed, but there was enough
said to bring newspaper comment all over
New England A goodly portion of the
county is timberland, much of it never
touched. It is upon this land that the
proponents Of the new state would have
settlers descend and gamble their chances
Of making an existence. It is reported
that Aroostook County has population
as large as Nevada's and that its area is
greater thap three states, although we
don't know which three states are meant
II would be test, though, If the rest of
Maine would let It's famous potato grow
ing section cut itself off. Texas has con-
sidered slicing off section for a new
state and can do that, according to its
constitution. Wonder If Maine has such
constitutional provision?

the country have duplicated. In this
church Mrs. Trumbull sold her scar
let cloak (said to be the gift Of
Rochambeau) for the benefit Of the
sick soldiers encamped on the green.
During the past year, one thou
sand dollars has been spent on re-
pairs on the interior and exterior

walls.

on this same site. John Trumbull,

es that had more associations with
the Revolutionary period than the
Lebanon meeting house. The Rev.
Solomon williams, D. D., for 50
years pastor OF the church, was q
powerful influence In preparing the
way for the American Revolution
through the preaching Of election"
sermons, many Of which were pub
lished and distributed throughout
out the colony.
The Lebanon Church Is uniting
with the Church at Liberty Hill for
public worship during the month Of
October, after which time the serv-
Ices will probably be held at the
high school auditorium. Many are
very anxious to restore the church
In Its original state, but II this Is
done, substantial gifts will have to
come from outside the town.
Unfortunately, at this present time
the residents Of Lebanon are In o
quandary as to Just where financial
aid will originate to rebuild this
historical monument. Anyone inter-
ested In giving financial aid to this
cause will please get In touch with
the Congregational Headquarters on

Up in Fitchburg, Mass, city officials
have put ban on planting any more
shade trees along streets or on public
property. So many trees were felled in
the recent storm and damaged utility
company wires and poles that the officials
think they should be eliminated. Future
planting Of trees can only be on private
property, so the city fathers have ruled.
That's bit drastic, we think, because
nothing adds to property values like beau

throughout the other parts Of the

destruction Of the church at Le-

was designed by John Trumbull and
built In 1907, and the bricks were
made Of native clay. The steeple
had the one and only Sir Christie
