Sacred Fox Hunting

Grey Owl, Ojibway nature expert from Saskatchewan, Canada, got into trouble when he went to England featuring. The British public welcomed him until he proposed a broadcast to the children of England including this passage: "Will you promise never to take advantage of the weakness of another human being or animal? Never take the life of weak and defenseless animal for your own amusement? Never join in a chase where foxes, stags, otters or hares are driven for miles and miles by crowds of dogs and men and sometimes, l am afraid, by women and children? Is this fair play? Is this sport?"
 The British Broadcasting Company, controlled by the government, insisted on the omission of this passage on the ground that it was anti-social and op- posed to British customs and institutions. Its particular offense was that it opposed fox-hunting. The Indian naturalist was so indignant that he dropped his whole talk and strode out of the broadcaSting station
 Americans are often surprised at the hold fox-hunting still has on the British public, in spite of it's obvious cruelty. It is curious combination of sport and social pastime Even Kipling, with all his kindly interest in animals, would prob ably have turned thumbs down on Grey Owls appeal. One of the incidents in his "Stalky and Company tells, with obvious approval, of the indignation of a young English lad in prep school when he learned that a neighboring farmer was actually shooting the foxes that stole his chickens, instead of hunting them to death with horses and hounds.

Should Settle Matter

Summoninf of an extraordinary grand jury to investigate financial conditions and practices of the City of Waterbury over a period of years should prove the most satisfactory solution of our present difficulties It should, too, put an end to persecution" of innocent or diSinter- ested persons whose business dealings with this city have been subjected to the closest scrutiny and publicized in such fashion that they surely had to be re- garded as suspicious if not actually criminal. Just as The Democrat ap- proved of the plan for an impartial audit by properly ly-deSignated officials, so it feels that the grand jury, despite attendant attention of state and even beyond it on our city, may settle the present issue.
 There will be much gloating in the city by those who have been waiting for long Hayes and other members of his admin iStration. There will be just as much regret among those who hold these off, cialS in high regard and respect. We wonder, though, if such proceedings as are now planned for this city will have the effect of cementing party lines or rather presenting more definite cleav- age in the voters of this city than has previously existed. There is danger that this cleavage may be built around other things than differences in politics.
 We have already delivered the opinion that now is the time for democrats to get together and patch up their differences. We don't know if this advice will be ac cepted, but it should be for the best inter- ests of both the party and the city. So far as the Republican party of the city is concerned, it remains to be seen whether it can come forth next fall in any stronger or better guise than it has previ- ously. It has profited by others mistakes but not by it's own endeavors. Its first test comes in the fall. It may or may not be influnced by the findings of the grand jury.

in the court You are nasty man. will ask the officer over there."
 The second officer agreed with the first. The duchess finally gave in and went where she was told to go, but true to her threat she fought it in court. She com plained that the officers were unfair and unreasonable" ESQ very unhelpful and uncivil," and so on But the magis- trate didn't seem to get her point. He fined her IS Shlilings for her infraction of the traffic rules.
 This all happened to the Duchess of Rutland, whose ancestor, the seventh Duke of Rutland, about hundred years ago, wrote: "Let wealth and commerce, laws and learning die, but leave us still our old nobility" Laws haven't died yet in England, least of all traffic laws.

Macdonald Has a Department

sThe courts have finally settled it. Com- missioner John A. Macdonald Will con tinue to build the highways of Connecti- cut. His department will not be run by the newly-created Public Works Depart ment. Thus the Sever-monthS' reign ot this latter board over state roads con struction and maintenance ends. But the story doesn't end with this note or finality. We're afraid it's only beginning. For while Commissioner Macdonald gets his department back he also gets With 1t the necessity of accounting for many things of which the department IS accused
 The night court decision this week may have settled Commissioner Macdonald's status in the eyes of the law and as an integral part of the state government, but it does not decide his status as the head of a department which faces numer- ous charges brought by the department official who took over highway con struction and maintenance last July and who in that brief time has made state mentS which may revolutlon1ze the future of Connecticut highway expan- sion. So MT. Macdonald merely steps from one fire into another.
 The grand jury probe of Merritt High way expenditures in Fairfield County has little or nothing to do with the charges alleged by Commissioner Robert A. Hur- ley and which Governor Wilbur L. Cross says commissioner Macdonald must now answer. His position assured there would seem nothing left to be done but to have 8 showdown on the charges that MT. Hurley has preferred about incompetence, nismanagement, etc.
 This should have more far-reaching effects than the court decision this week, for the majority of people probably believe that if the Legislature had allowed meas ure to go through virtually transferring complete state department to the juris- diction of another without openly saying so more would have been said about crea- tion of the new State Works Bureau. The opinion seems to be that the two depart ments can both perform noteworthy services for the state as separate and dis tinct bodies

Congressman Herman Koppleman of Hartford literally lied with his chin' when he joined sixty or seventy other members of the House Of Representatives in sending message of good will to the loyalist gov ernment of Spain. MT. Kopplemann represents the first congressional district which includes the City of Hartford, seat of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Connec- ticut. He should have realized that his action would be regarded as inimical to his thousands of Catholic constituents. And to make matters worse the congress man did this in an election year. He evidently must have considered we'll his action before affiXing his signature. If so, then we can only say that he seems to have stepped into something which may prove regrettable for him. The Catholic Transcript, organ of the Roman Catholic church in this diocese, landed on Repre- sentative Kopplemann; he'll find that Catholic organizations will follow this example, for when an American legislator goes on record as favoring a government that sanctions church-burning and other atrocities, some explanation must be made.

naught from a mud-scoW. A lew years after graduation from An napoiis he was stationed on the West Coast, where he met Louise Harrington of San Francisco, the sister-in-law of Admiral Niblack, who, after the war, commanded the U. s. fleet in Europe. Miss Harrington's family demured at the marriage, and it was not ur1- til Niblack put a word in for the gawky youngster from the mld- west that they consented.
 What Niblack told them was that Leahy would go far in the navy. That prediction was made 34 years ago, and the secret of the intervening success has been combination of gunnery and the ability to handle per- sOnnel-plus lot of hard work.
 These are combinations not al- ways found together in the navy. Most of the good technicianS are not good at handling men, and vice versa. Leahy is one of the best gunnery experts in the navy. Even while Roosevelt was still assistant secretary of the navy, Leahv was director of Gunnery Exercises and headed board to fix a new policy for fire control. Later he became Chief of the Bureau of Ordnance.
 Army vs. Navy
 In his present job as Chief of Naval Operations Leahy is the Navy's No. Admiral. Theoreti- cally, he does not have the power over his bureau chiefs that is ex- ercised by the chief of staff of the army. But actually he does.
 Not long ago, the navy was rowing with the army over the CO., ordinate of their air forces. Among other things the navy wanted more planes to train its reserve officers in advance of the completion of the present building program. The navy contended that with scarcity of active of- ficer personnel, the training of re- serve officers would have to begin now.
 In one of these conversations Admiral Leahy suggested to Gen eral Malin Craig, the army's chief of staff, that the reserve of- ficers of both army and navy be trained to fly both types of air. plane-amphibian and hand planes.
 After all," he pointed out. ''in time of war they will be fighting not particularly for the army or the navy but for the United States and they should be prepared for any type of fly ing"
 I'm not so sure what Gen eral Andrews, chief of the Air Corps would think of that" re- piled General Craig. There's a lot of independence among the army's bureau chiefs"
 Well if my bureau chiefs don't want to cooperate for the good of the service" shot back Leahy. 'T can always find 'em a nice quiet navy-yard where they can retire."

In an effort to see just how this gigantic enter prise is going to work the fair managers are holding tryout performance in April of this year. One million visitors will get special invitations to attend the exposi- tion, just year before the fair officially opens. While everything won't be ill readiness, still directors feel that this invitation will in some way show them just what they may have to contend with and will also give them chance to try out devices now in readiness for the grand opening in 1889.

PATHS AND ROADS
(New Britain Herald)

The old-time road builders i Connecticut-in the horse ana buggy age-Were more conSiderata of pedestrians than their modern prototypes in the state highway de partment. The old-timers always left paths on both sides of the roads usually between the gullys or gut ters or ditches and the fence posts of the farms. These paths, espe- cially near villages or towns, were quite walkable.
 It was when the state began talk ing over roads as the gasoline era began and modern" highways were constructed that the state thought of saving" the cost of the space fol pedestrians. The roads were wid. ened, usually to take in both the ditches and the pedestrian paths; and so we have them today, with very few exceptions.
 When the present highway de- partment ructions are over it should be fixed policy of the new public works department to see that all the state roads have adequate walks for pedestrians. This is being con- sidered an essential in modern road construction in many of the states. It should be an essential in Con. necticut.

A Book a Day
A Picture of Old Scotland
BY BRUCE CATION

The more one reads Bruce Lock- hart the nor, this canny Scots- man seems to fall ill the category of our own Gene Fowler-that is, a story teller extraordinary. Lockhart's fourth and newest book. "A Son of Scotland" (Putnam's: $3), strikingly bears out this point.
 The story is primarily that of Lockhart's early life in Scotland. At first glance this would not seem to be an exciting event. Ger tainly life moved along quietly, if not bit roughly, for this school masters son with 8 dash of the McGregor blood in his veins. But the book turns out to be exceedingly interesting.
 MT. Lockhart, in the happy Fowler style, begins to tell you about his relatives and the first thing you know he has switched you to a rare treat of Scottish anecdotes, entirely off the subject, but very pertinent of course to a picture of old Scotland.
 You will remember for a long time his story of the "procreation" club and the anecdotes of the long illegal distillers. There is not a word pie ture in the entire book that fails to splash the color of clannish old Scotland before you.
 Finally, MT. Lockhart ends on a wiStful note; he wonders if the national will power is declining. He points to the Scots, too, as having the poorest physique of any race in Europe today, and he yearns for the old days. At 30 he sees the days of his youth as per- haps the most fruitful of his varied life after all.
 You may not care about MT. Lockhart or Scotland either but assuredly you should enjoy his in- innate books.-P. G. F.
