Trial Balloons

Governor Wilbur L. Cross is just about right when he calls the stories clrculat- ing around the state now of the candl- dacies of various public officials trial balloons" With rumors very strong that changes will be made in the lineup or the Democratic ticket as presented to the voters this year it is obvious that ambi- tious individuals seek to ascertain pub lie reaction to the linking of their names with various offices. That accounts for the multitude of them in the last week or so, all following in the wake of an an- nouncement that Senator Augustine Lon- ergan will be opposed for renomination.
 The latter event is more to be doubted than that other changes might be made in the Democratic ticket AS to the joc- keying back and forth for favorable posi- tions in the race for nominations, it's what happens, so the governor commented this week, when a state hasn't got direct prl- maries He may not have meant his com ment to be boost for the direct primary in contrast to present political methods of party conventions in this state, but it's apt to be picked up by those who are cfamoring for the change in rules.
 If both Governor Cross and Democratic State Central Committee Chairman J. Francis Smith throw their support to the direct primary it will have won powerful backing at the very outset. There's no question it will be thoroughly discussed when the committee meets next prior to launching the 1888 conventions. In the meantime we can expect to see and hear about lot more of political candidates. The season is on and it's good healthy sign for a party to have ambitious members

A Thought for Today
Widely Travelled

One record that President Franklin D. Roosevelt will hold for many years to come when he retires from the White House will be that of long-distance traveller. We don't recall any previous occupant having established record for covering so much ground as has Frank lin D. The trip on which he IS now embarked is one of the longest and most far-flung that he has yet attempted. Oddly enough few if any of us have any fears for the Presidents health or safety on such long jaunts as these.
 President Roosevelt, to all appear ances, has maintained throughout his administration singularly remarkable health. The demands made upon him for public appearances have not taken their toll of his strength and vigor. His voice still possesses the same magic it had back in the fall of 1882 and the spring of 1883 when he was calming terrified nation. His physical appearance is, if anything, even better than it was. Give him a few days on the deck of a boat and his face loses the indoors pallor common to the lot of desk-tied executive.
 Some biographer might jot down one of these days the journeys of President Roosevelt. They would comprise good fat volume and be interesting reading. We don't think that even his illustrious pre- dscessor, Theodore Roosevelt, covered more ground during his presidential years, as has his cousin, Franklin D. Teddy" was notorious for the ground he covered. He was essentially sportsman and loved t:ae outdoors for the thrills and encount- eys it provided him. Franklin D. Roose- velt seems to have the same unsuitable desire to go places, but obviously differ ent purpose motivates.
 Many observers regard the present enterprise as the greatest political barn storming trip ever attempted. Maybe so, but we'll wager that the head-man will thoroughly enjoy every section of the country he visits, get to see many sights, meet many people, gain impressions, make few of his own. The Roosevelts seem to have the happy faculty of getting around this great country of ours, of which they have been rather faithful servants for many, many years.

Frozen Debts

"The United States should come as near cancellation of European war debts as public opinion will permit" declares Dr. Irving Fisher, distinguished econ- onist of Yale University. The proposal shocks some citizens, but it may be worth discussing, and the qualification, "as near as public opinion will permit" is a guarantee against rashness.
 It is clear that we shall never collect those foreign war debts in total, whether With or without interest. Nothing has been paid on them for years now by the major powers whose indebtedness is greatest. Even the little fellows have been suspending payment one after another. What Uncle Sam is up against is general sitdown strike of debtor-gov- ernments, which may last indefinitely.
 If there is any hope of repayment of any considerable part of those obligations. it probably lies in restoration of interna- tional peace and security. The debtors say they can't pay because self-preserva- ton in shaky world comes first, and their armament costs are too great. At present it is hard to foresee any change in the situation. Meanwhile the debts lie like dead hand upon trade and business revival, as do our huge domestic debts If frozen debt could be thawed out recovery would have better chance.

have been previous trips, including one to New England.
 It has long been customary for Ameri- can teachers to travel abroad, to the benefit of themselves and their pupils. Such extensive and intensive trips in their own country, particularly in these times, should be of equal or greater inl- portance than foreign travel. Americans need to know their own country better, its scenic wonders, its variety, its pro- ducts, it's customs, it's people. In such understanding lies greater appreciation of our government and our precious heri- tage of human liberty.

They had fire-fire in their bellies. " By cookie" it is presumed that the former Republican nominee did not mean the round, flat, crisp edible, preferably favored with caraway seeds, which used to occur in stone crooks on pantry shelves. He refer red to the two-fisted male, some- times round and always crisp, who presided over the chuck wagon in the days when men were men and cattle were cattle. He brought up perhaps unintentionally, the possi- bility of what may be called the culinary interpretation of history or, following the Marxian analogy culinary determinism.
 The cooking that put fire into the vitals of Americas pioneers, cowboys railroad builders, prairie breakers city founders, river tanners and mountain movers was robust. The first stones of our national edifice were laid in Indian corn, salt fish wildfowl and venison. The humble bean and the salted hog followed the course of empire. The New Eng land pies and doughnuts made the inhabitants of that region work furiously all day and dream of he'll fire al night. The hoecake sat like a lump inside the dreaming South erner. The frying-pan became al- most a national emblem. Hog and hominy, pork and beans, Indian buildings, salt this and salt that, dried fruits, root vegetables on these, calling for the most heroic exertions of the gastric juices, we built our national greatness. French food-indeed, foreign food of any Sort-we long manfully resisted. We craved vittles that would stick to our ribs. All typicaiiy American foods, from succotash up or down, were solid. Clarence Days immortal father got up from a four-course dinner, went into the library with his cigar and moaned that he was starved" We eat more sparingly to- day. That may be what is the mat ter with us.
 Some day some candidate for the doctors degree at Columbia, Har- yard, Yale, Princeton or the Univer- sity of Chicago will write a book proving that the greatness of this nation rests firmly on foundation of dyspepsia. Over-eating, he will argue, produced sense of inward discomfort which could be overcome only by the most prodigious exer- tion. He will trace more than chronological linkage between pie and pioneer. Who knows? He may be right.

Seeing America

Here is summer college course which may sound like a vacation, but which should be of real educational value. Four teen normal school students and two pro- fessors will travel for sixty-two days, cov- ering 12,50O miles, going from coast to coast and visiting twenty-six states. The special subjects to be studied will include national parks, dam and power projects, university compusses, laboratories, ob- servatories, industrial centers and Holly wood movie lots.
 One of the professors describes the course as an effort ito train intelligent teachers who will have a first-hand knowledge of American life as 1t is today" Students fees of $500 to $500 will meet only part of the actual cost The deficit will be met by an educational foundation. There

According to official figures at Hart ford there are still 500OO cars in this state which haven't been inspected at the current tests. That's a lot of auto- mobiles. It imposes terrific task on offi- cial testers to get the job finished by July 16 6when the period ends However, it's typi- cal of the American motorlst. We wait to the last minute to get licenses; we don't change one bit when it comes to having our car tested. We wonder, though, what percentage of the 5O,OOO motorists will fail to present their automobiles for testing? There are always a large num- Der of recalcitrants who ignore this law. Some don't think they are obliged to have their cars tested; others positively re- fuse to have theirs given the official ok. Still others simply are careless and for get about it. Suspension of licenses is in order when test requirements are not fulfilled. And suspensions are now being handed out, instead of just warnings.

A Book a Day
A Writer Trails the Explorers

LIle EXplOIeTS
 There isn't much of this old world that discoverers haven't penetrated in the last 40 years-Amundsen Hedin, Byrd, Fawcett, Peary, and handful of other adventurous souls. Literally they have swept from pole to pole and from the densest swamps to the highest points on earth.
 We have had all this, of course, in scattered documents, but now comes decidedly worthwhile book to sum 1t all up, Charles E. Keys "The Story of 20th Century Exploration" (Knopf: $3.50).
 MT. Key, very obviously, chose a staggering task in the preparation of this volume for the 20th ccn- tury has been . great epoch in the story of exploration. But he has hit the high spots-and what high spots: exploring the miasmic Anna zon with Col. Fawcett; the incom- parable adventures of Sven Hedin. the last great explorer of storied Tibet: the conquest of the poles; among the head-hunters of New Guinea: climbing Africa's Nanda Devi, and trying to climb Mt. Ever est, to mention only few more sig nificant treks.
 It would be hard, indeed, to place ones finger on the best of these ac- counts. But for that matter the es- sence of MT. Keys book lies in its very sweep. To read 1t is better to appreciate this vast old globe. And. incidentally, MT. Key tells us that this business of exploration is far from ended. We have better maps today of some parts of the moon than of certain blank" portions of the Polar regions. So the expedi- tions continue.
 Meantime, this interesting volume is a very good armchair expedition in itself.-P. c. F.

Experiments along Connecticut high ways this summer and fall will add to the Highway Departments budget by at least $500, 900, but the additional expense will ultimately be saved, it is expected. State Highway Commissioner William J. Cox is trying to find permanent substitute for the oil and sand treatment that is given so many of our state roads. A new surface, consisting of crushed stone and tar or asphaltic oils, is being used. Not only is this surfacing regarded as cheaper in the long run, but it will wear better, and it is safer, as the chances of skidding on such surface are lessened

In New York
By GEORGE ROSS

New York, July 9-Detective John- ny Broderick is Broadway's main police force. A bulky Irishman, with pair of blue eyes that are alter nately twinkling and cold as steel, Johnny has been the gay white ways favorite night-life sentinel for more than twenty years.
 It may be a glittering first night performance at the Henry Miller theater, with the patrician pew holders fairly dripping with emer- olds and ermines, or raucous leather-pushing contest over at Madison Square Garden-but Brod- erick will be somewhere on the premises grinning good-naturedly at the celebrities and keeping a Weather-eye open on the more du- bious characters present.

Selected Poem
HARBORAGE


 (Maurice English in the New York Times) When half the swinging tide came in raiding low, half-league of land, and the moon with evening light and shade made silver tunnels on the sand, when green sea -yerging forest trees changed to a quivering cliff of black, crawling with ribboend windless sails and oars that swung from taut to slack, ship with shattered hull and mast came slowly through the writhen way, veered from the west, the rocks slid past and beached with leap and fling of spray. The seamen walked with weary motion, dazed by the waters tyranny, lay down alone by the silent ocean in caverns emptied of the sea, Slept; and the nerveless waters covered the shrouded vessel helm and spar. Bright in the vault of evening hovered One frail, serene and lonely star.
