What Must Be, Must

In view of the fact that it has been decided that the trials of the local city officials and others accused of conspir- acy should be held elsewhere than Water bury we are glad to see that the transfer is made to New Haven, keeping the cases, thus, in the county. Had the transfer been made to Hartford, which is the Special Prosecutors own bailiwick, we don't see why the defendants could not have complained lustily that if 1t was unfair to hold the trials in Waterbury because it was the home town of many of the defendants, certainly the reverse was true for the states side.
 However, perusal of Judge Simpsons decision in which he grants change of venue to New Haven it is seen that he gave due consideration to every one of the points alleged by Prosecutor Hugh M. Acorn in his motion to remove the trial elsewhere. Lack of facilities in the local courthouse formed the basis for the off cial sanction to removal to New Haven. In view of such an opinion we do not see how either side in the case can be dis satisfied.
 On the other hand a decision that would have brought the trial to Hartford would have resulted in vociferous pro- tests from the defense, which would be natural. We are inclined to think that Judge Simpson showed much wisdom in his decision and very likely the change of venue, since it had to come, will not result in endless pickering back and forth over advantages gained by either the state or defense by virtue of courthouse location

town officials. All rehabilitation pro grams must be completed before private building can proceed And then 1t may be directed along lines at variance with those proposed by the individual owner.
 A year from now the Connecticut and Rhode Island shore line will present Q vastly different appearance than 1t did this past summer. 1t will still bear many scars of September 21's storm. But It will also be entirely changed in appear ance. Old landmarks will be few and lar between. Where Westerly cottages once hugged the shore, now none can be nearer than a half-mile. Sea-walls will soon thrust their heads above the waves. Men will pit their skill and their energies against the encroaching winds and tides in an effort to prevent recurrence of the 1888 disaster.

Expensive Econmoy

It begins to look as if Controller Sher- wood Rowland hurled a boomerang few weeks ago when he cracked" down on the lawyers in an effort to clear up their accounts with the city court over period of years. In startling charge, contained chiefly in long list of names of lawyers from Waterbury and throughout the state, the Republican incumbent found that the city was being cheated of its due and he was determined that all acc counts should be squared. There were some who questioned the purpose of the Controller in his sweeping end-run; others praised him for his efforts.
 But it may be that he didn't check up carefully enough on his facts and figures before he opened his campaign to collect monies due the city. If the lawyers can now prove their claim that the reverse is true and the city is indebted to them for considerable sums, well, we don't know whether MT. Rowland will be regarded as a crusader or something else. The lawyers think this attempt to prove them delin- quent in their payment of fees will re- bound so hard that 1t will knock nearly $20,000 out of the city treasury.
 All of which is an expensive means of showing up the legal talent of our fair city and it's environs. But the controller having precipitated this bit of business should now endeavor to get the city out of its difficulties as best he can. If the city was in error in collecting as much as it obviously did from lawyers in court fees, then officials like the Controller shouldn't take advantage and try to collect something that may not have been legally incurred as debt. That's the worst of the boomerang. Thrown into flock of birds, it often returns and jolts the thrower.

Recovery

For taxpayers who have feared limit less increase of our national debt there is a new ray of hope. The President has ordered the WPA to hold expenditures up to next March 1 within the $700, ,000, 900 of emergency funds now available. Even that will mean spending lot more money, but the retarding of the spend ing rate is important, and the reason given is reassurlng. Employment is in- creasing everywhere" says Deputy Ad- ministrator Aubrey Williams, land the outlook is brighter than at any time in year. look for a steady increase in employment. all over the United States and in all lines"
 Many of us hesitate to yield to such optimism, because there have been so many disappointments. But recent im- provement seems to be the real thing, and is so regarded by many economists. There was good pickup in midsummer, when business usually lags, and lately the flow of labor back to work seems to be growing into great, steady stream. This Unemployment is what the country needs most, and 1t seems to be based now on sound principles. There is a widespread shortage of goods in many lines, grow ing demand for them, and a growing feel ing that the time is ripe for real re- covery.

Selected Poem
OLD CRoNIEs OF MINE

By Herbert Durrell Smart In the Boston post) old cronies of mine are passing on,
 silently they depart; And, being in a receptive mood.
 Emotions grip my heart like to recall those good old times,
 For which today sigh; Spinning yarns and playing jokes
 On each other in days gone by. Somewhere in the boundless sky, far away Beyond where I can see, In fancy today old cronies of mine
 Are waiting there for me. Although their spirits hover near.
 It is lonely here below: And more and more is their absence felt As the passing years come and go. old friends are best by every test.
 Tn spirit they are near; Their friendship was valued in bygone days, And their memory Is dear .. trust we may sometime, somewhere meet, As in days of ould lang syne And drink 6 toast to every ghost
 Of those old cronies of mine. still slowly ticking the time away
 Is the clock upon the wall, While In reverie I've been sitting here Thinking of the old days-that's all. Nashua, N. H., le9e.

Restoration Plans

Snug in the Naugatuck Valley Water bury and surrounding towns are apt to give scant heed to the needs of our east ern shore communities which bore the brunt of the September hurricane. Few of us still suffer any privation as result of this dreadful disaster But along the shore line, where permanent habitation' was maintained, all is still disorder. It's 6 slow process to rebuild towns from the wreckage left by devastating hurricane and an even more destructive tidal wave. Until you have gone through just such an experience you fail to realize what can and does happen.
 Many small communities in eastern Connecticut, as well as Rhode Island, have started to rebuild so that when win. ter's chill blasts grip the land people will be prepared for 1t. But In other places the task is bit different. Fear of another such disaster is still apparent back to the old familiar haunts. They are afraid that If they rebuild on the ruins of their former homes another hur- ricane or another tidal wave will visit them some day and wreck its vengeance once more. So they are looking around for more protection from the forces of nature.
 Judging by this many familiar shore line resorts and villages will be changed permanently. In fact, many may move miles from their former locations. This is particularly true in Rhode Island which bore the brunt of the terrible wind, rain, and tide. Where normal building oper- ations may proceed in New London, Gro- ton, and Stonington, Connecticut con- munities among the worst afflicted, just adjacent in Westerly, R. T., no building operations are permitted per order of the

According to meteorologists the hurri- cane that visited this state on September q is due to play return engagement some time during November. And only the other day this same hurricane was reported battling around over in Siberia or some such distant place. At least 1t was on the other side of the North Pole and still going strong. If it returns, say the weathermen 1t won't be as destructive as 1t was on autumnal equinox day. We shouldn't think 1t would be after battling around the globe couple of times. It's interesting now to follow the course of this disturbance. According to reports 1t began on August 26 off the coast of Africa. Leaving the U. s. A., 1t went to Greenland and the British isles, then around to Iceland and up into the Arctic wastes. Around Thanksgiving 1t should be back in the shape of a gale.

PARNAssUs ON WHEELS TO SPONSOR MASS MEETING IN
 BEHALF or JAIL SYSTEMS
Wethersileld, Conn,

wethersfield, Conn,
 Oct. 26, 1o3e. Editor of The Democrat:
 On October 2lst the society of Parnassus on Wheels, Inc, held its annual meeting ct Dwight hall, Yale campus, New Haven. The election of officers took place. Owing to the fact that the headquarters of Par- nassus have been moved to Wethers- field and Hartford, c number of the officers who carried on the work in New Haven have resigned. We wish to express our most sincere thanks to Judge Chambers, our president since 1884, Harold Welch. treasurer of New Haven bank, and Mrs. Nixon, our recording secretary.
 We have elected c new president and vice president who have offices in Hartford, and the remaining slate of officers who will function es- pecialiy in Hartford, will be named later. The society rejoices in re- taining our honorary president, Gov ernor Wilbur L. Cross, also Chief Justice Maltbie, honorary president of our board of councillors, justices and judges of the supreme and su- perior courts. They have ell been reelected with the exception of Judge Wolfe, our faithful friend, who passed away last summer. It will be necessary to find another counsellor in his place. Our vice presidents, Father Lawrason Riggs and Fleming James, Jr, will happily continue in ofiice. The permanent address of our executive secretary, Miss denevieve Cowies, is and will be No. 2 Meggat park. Wethersfield. Telephone Hartford o,i423-W.
 The chief speaker ct the meeting of the Parnasstis on Wheels, Inc, october 2iat, was Sheriff Hlavin Of New Haven county, who gave 6 graphic description Of the complex and serious criminal situation now confronting the state of Connecti- cut. He agreed with the position of Parnassus on Wheels, Inc, that our present county jail system Is out of date, is not properly equipped as to buildings, and does not meet the, present emergencies.
 The aim of Parnassus on Wheels, Inc, Is to arouse public interest in this jail question. The Howard league has provided . noted speaker, Harold Iaali. of Lofld0n iifliVergitV. who is to address mass meeting under the auspices of Parnassus on Wheels. Inc, together with the Connecticut Prison association, ct the West-Middle school auditorium, 027 Asylum avenue, Hartford, De- cember 9th at 6 ?. m. Professor Laski will speak on the handling of prisoners in England. Ali those iri- terested in our cause are urged to attend.

Incidentally one fact that has been revealed since the dreadful event is that the tidal wave occurred at low tide time, which was fortunate if the word is per missible. Had high tide occurred simul- taneously with the tidal wave the path of destruction along the shore and at the mouths of rivers would have been far greater than 1t actually was. It may be what has really taken place along the shore resorts, particularly in eastern Con- necticut and Rhode Island, but just pie ture how tidal wave would have rushed in on the flank of high tide.
