Forest Fire Vandals

Forest fires are bad enough in any
case - hard enough to put out with the
best of equipment and the BEST hardest
and most determined of men. Forest
fires set deliberately are even worse to
handle The fire-setters choose favorable
wind and weather conditions for their
destruction. The slashing of fire hose
with knives, the disabling of fire-fighting
pumps admits of no excuse.
Incendiarism has been repeatedly re-
ported by authorities of the state of
Washington. This year officials of British
Columbia found 1000 feet of fire hose
slit, sugar poured into the gasoline from
which the pumps drew their fuel. The
motive for setting the fires is said to be
the desire of men out of work to get jobs
fighting fires. Surely this is the last
word in irony.
Some action must be taken, and that
promptly. 1t must be made plain that
Setting fires is not the way to get jobs
except jobs at hard labor in Jail. And
those forlorn and desperate men who
would set out to destroy the wealth of a
generation in order that they may eat
tomorrow must be taken care of in some
other way,
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-08-01

Americans revel in the fact that this
is q free country and that they are pretty
much at liberty to do as they please,
despite the terrific number of laws that
are created every year by all forms OF
government Running for political office
today has come to be an accepted fact.
Anybody who takes the notion he or she
is qualified to hold public office can
get some sort of support. 1t may not be
winning support, but it's enough to win
the individual his or her day in the sun.
That's all that some want; others are
more ambitious and usually achieve the
goal they set out for.
All of which gets us around to the fact
that for some years here in Connecticut
there has been tendency to center pub
lie Offices in a few individuals. 1t has
been nothing for one man to hold down
two and even three public Offices at one
and the same time They might be cleo
tive and appointive but they involved,
what seems to this writer, very fine
and delicate point-that of not taking too
much for granted. There was classic in
stance several years ago of man hold
ing jobs in the elective, judicial, and ex-
ecutive branches of our state government.
None of them clashed; none of them
prevented very efficient performance in
each and every office Still we think that
the voting public is coming to the point
where it would like to see more people
getting the jobs, instead of people get
ting more jobs. In other words why not
scatter appointments among those not
holding down official positions. Why CEN
ter them all in the select coterie of office
holders who by their official status are
more readily apprised of the opportuni-
ties at hand than the average voter.
We could single out individuals who
hold such Offices and who reach out for
more on the assumption that their past
training and performances entities them
to the Announcements. Fine and dandy!
But when the advancement is achieved,
we wish that there would be release on
the job that acted as stepping stone. Or
better still having achieved official dis
tinction hold on to it or resign to make
the test for higher honors. It's fair ges-
ture and removes the gradually-growing
feeling in our midst that politics makes
one bit "hoggy."
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-08-01

The Welfare Commissioner of the
Town of Ramapo, which is near Suffern,
N. Y, has "cracked down" on relief
recipients by forcing them to store auto
mobiles they have been driving. He had
demanded the license plates of their cars
in several instances and will retain them
so long as the owners remain on the
town relief lists. For this he will prob
ably be both praised and criticized. The
point made, though, is that many per-
sons on relief rolls, perhaps bare mini
mum, are enjoying themselves thor
oughly at the expense of Woodworking
felloWmen. There are loads of legitimate
relief cases, many of them escaping the
official eye. But there are also many cases
that are distinctly question of the town
becoming father to the man and supplying
his every want Whether or not depriving
relief recipients of their right to drive
automobiles can be termed dictatorial, the
idea behind the seizure is that there are
more pressing needs ahead of buying
gasoline and oil for their cars, unless used
for purely business purposes.

Where Were Plaudits?

We expected the metropolitan papers to
be filled with accounts of the death of
Bert E. Collyer last week, but oddly there
was little but the bare fact that he had
died in Chicago Thursday night contain
ed in their obituary columns Surely this
event did not fail to attract attention in
the sports world. The name of Bert E.
Collyer is known where devotees of the
turf and the pastime that accompanies it
get together. Bert Collyer was, strictly
speaking, a booster for race-track gam
bling. 1t was he who for twenty-five years
provided cross-section of American life
with "tips" on the races
Collyer racing publications and Collyer
race information furnished the press
sports establishments via the unrolling
ticker tape are famous from coast to
coast. Yet not tear apparently is shed
for the genius who built up small VEN
ture into tremendous business or
racket if you prefer to call it that Coll
yer's stock in trade was based on a great
American curse or failing-love of gam
bling, the desire to take chance on a
long-shot, the hope of hitting it right for
heavy stakes some day.
Never by word of mouth or print did he
urge anyone to bet on horses, grey
hounds, etc. It was merely by showing
how the Collyer selections were faring
that he attracted the millions of Ameri-
cans who today are race conscious. An
odd profession Collyer's, one on which
vested authority frowns. Lectures are
read on the evils of race-track gambling;
sermons are preached on the harm done
and the bad influences produced Collyer,
however, f1ourished nightly from the
first time ne selected nag and apologize

Too bad the papers didn't give him a
few more lines, inasmuch as his name
is legendary. He must have been born
somewhere; left relatives; had friends.

mistakes. Her trip to America was poorly
managed and hampered by the worst sort
of publicity.
There were other events in her life,
however, which entirely offset these mis-
takes. Her service during the World
War as hospital nurse was of high
order. Most queens would merely have
passed through the least offensive wards
and spoken kind and encouraging words
to the wounded and dying men, Marie
actually worked, like any other nurse, and
performed whatever mental or disagree
able tasks we're to be DONE Although she
was only the queen of small country
she became a world figure, laughed at
sometimes, but increasingly admired and
respected.

Texas from Fort Worth to ANA
rillo.
Worse Than Pulling Teeth
During that day, White House
Secretaries Marvin Mcintyre ana
Steve Early gave Maverick one OF
the baldest run arounds seen IN a
long time.
Mcintyre allowed Maverick to
see the President for about five
minutes and thereafter kept the
private car door closed to him.
Then Early fatty refused to is
sue press statement that the
President told Maverick to tell
Early to hand out declaring that
the President had conferred with
Maverick and had expressed the
hope he would be reelected. Early
first passed the buck to Mcintyre
and when he passed 1t back,
Early belligerently washed his
hands of the matter.
The weirdest episode Of all
was the sudden discovery, sew
eraI hours after the President
left Fort Worth, that the CAM
paign manager of Mavericks
rival was comfortably ensconced
in the lounge car of the presi-
Dental special.
How he got on the train Is still
mystery.
The managers story was that
he had Elliott Roosevelt's per-
mission to join the train. Elliott
said that the manager had repre-
sented himself as San Antonio
newspaperman and that he had
referred him to Henry Kannee,
McIntyre's assistant. Kannee cor
roborated this and said he had
allowed the stranger to board the
train without showing his press
credentials because he explained
they were in his grip which had
been put on the train.
At first, Mavericks indignant
demand that the interloper be
thrown off got nowhere. But after
several hours Of rowing with Nc
Intyre, Early and Elliott, Maverick
finally induced them to crack
down on his foe to the extent OF
warning him that if he made the
claim he was invited on the train
a public statement would be is
sued denouncing him as gate
crasher.
No Loss
There is no doubt that the
President personally was for
Maverick and was sincere in his
promises Of fullsome support.
But certain Of Roosevelt's lieu-
tenants were not for the truculent
Texan and made 1t their business
to see that the President did not
ring the welkin for him. Maverick
is too militant and outspoken to
suit the conservative tastes Of
these Old Guard Administration
ties and as far as they were con-
cerned they didn't care If he was
licked.
One Of these, In a major party
position, frankly voiced this view
the day after Maverick was
counted out.
"He's no loss" the leader re-
marked, Mavericks an extrem-
list. Why he even voted for the
anti-lynching bill"
NOTE: Both the President and
Mrs. Roosevelt publicly declared
themselves for Federal legislation
against lynching.
