A Thought for Today
What Have We Gained?

When the Legislature gets around to 1t this year it will proably consider mak- ing some changes in our state liquor laws. A number of changes have been proposed and will be argued within reasonable time. We do not intend to enter a discussion of these changes, be- cause that would absolutely necessitate a knowledge of every proposed altera- tion and we admit we don't know just how many there actually are. But we are wondering if the average man Is as satisfied with conditions today as he was ten years ago.
 We are not speaking of economic sit nations, for at the beginning of 1929 they were pretty good. From stand point of drinking what is the present day status of the nation as compared to ths.>> in 1929? Temperance advocates and others are convinced that as na- tion we are slowly drinking ourselves back to prohibition. Personally we doubt if the trend is as much in that direction today as it might have been a few years ago. There seems to be just a bit more sanity now where drinking is concerned.
 We never liked prohibition nor the Vol stead Act. We never liked the "Sneaky" businesses that thrived throughout the entire nation as a result of this unfor- tunate encroachment upon a personal liberty We campalgned for prohibitions Iepeal with the best of them, but merely 10 restore to the people certain rights tha; had been denied them. We could be proved wrong, perhaps, by saying that people are better off with legalized man. ufacture and sale of liquor. But we con less we can't see the idea of returning to l topsy-turvcy condition that created more lawlessness than any other factor in the U. s. A.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-02-06
Remember Those Pledges

Strictly speaking the Republican men1- bers of the Legislature are not bound down by the pledges made by Governor Raymond E. Baldwin and other COP state officials during the 1888 campaign. Of course some ot them participated actively in the campaign and rode along with the successful candidates. But most of the Republican members were ready and willing to pledge all sorts of obedience when the governor had concluded his in- augural address. They liked the ring of it. So did lot of other people.
 But after the legislators had studied it cut and talked with the governor they realized that he meant business with re- spect to some of their treasured plans. This went hard with the boys who re- membered the days when Republicans were in clover and no faithful member of the party went unrewarded. Some got two or three jobs But Gov. Baldwin doesn't want any more of that for his legislators He wants them to remain free of all dual jobs in the state or county governments
 He wants other things, too, such as an economical government during his two years in office This he decided to achieve by squeezing the state departments un- til all surplus had been wrung out. Among the services designated to go were the normal schools at Willimantic and New Haven. AS a matter of fact they were placed on the block years ago during the Cross regime. But legis- tive activity and local demands won the day then. They look as if they might win again.
 So on two points the governors pro- gram is rebuffed with only a month of his administration by. And with those controversial Bridgeport bills looming as a spectre in the background to threaten COP domination of the State Senate, is it any wonder that the Re- publicans are beginning to wonder If they really won an election or head ache.

Busy Free Port

The nations first free port, established on Staten Island last May, has been do- ing very we'll It received 240 shipments from g countries in December. The month before only 18 countries had been represented. The first six months of 1889 are expected to surpass the last six months of 1888. Officials of the com pany operating the free port = which IS a place where goods from one country may be repacked and shipped to other countries without going through GUS toms-are very optimistic.
 In a recent public statement they say: "It takes a long while for project ot this kind to become known throughout the world, but manufacturers and ship pers from everywhere are beginning to realize that the nations first foreign trade zone is in operation, and the num- Der of inquiries as well as definite com mitments is very heartening."
 A great variety of goods is handled. A recent list includes fine clay brick, linens and art work, silver fox furs, watch parts, musical instruments and leather prod ucts. They come from many lands and 20 to many lands. The watch parts, for example, come from England and Swltz- erland. They are to be placed in Amerl- can-made cases in the zone and then ex- ported. If there were enough of such trade all over the world, would there be so much misery, poverty and fear ot war?

Back to Religion?

These are "times that try mems souls" |" They also seem to be times reminding men that they have souls. The great depression, with its confusion and hardship, brought loss or self-confi- dence. It also came near wiping out, for many millions, the last vestiges of religious faith. The world was reverting to chaos. There seemed to be no method or reason or providence in it, human or divine.
 An outward expression of this attitude was the great loss of church attendance and religious interest, especially among young people. It was very evident in the colleges. But all at once there comes I change. pr. Charles w. Gilkey, dean Of the University of Chicago chapel, who throughout i the country, says s there has been an astonishing turn in the last year.
 This is change not SO much in grown ups as in young people. College students

Walt Disney probably will be widely commended for his plan to remove "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" from the aters of the nation after April 29. This has never been done before, so far as tycoons of the film industry can recall. When they have money-maker, it is left in circulation until the film itself rots away. But Disney has the right idea: Snow White" is his own creation and production. He isn't going to let it fall into the class of those productions ot other years which are allowed to bang around until they end up in every dinky little theater in the last town in the state. Within year Disney will reissue the picture on the same scale as the pre- mier and we don't doubt but what it will continue to be as successful.

usually are not required to attend re- ligious services in chapel, and for many years they have mostly ignored such services But lately, says Dr. Gilkey, he finds them in college after college, big and little colleges alike, crowding the chapels and standing up behind the seats around the doors.
 There are not more professors attend ing; they seem still indifferent. But there are more boys and girls than he has seen at such services in career of forty years. He doesn't profess to un- derstand it, but it certainly means something.

Selected Poem
AT THE END OF THE TRAIL (By Edwin Gordon Lawrence in the
 Boston PoSt)

The little home at the end of the trail
 Still beckons and calls unto me, Arousing longing within my heart
 Once more its fond inmate to be. But dimy its light through the darkness shines
 And faint feels its comforting ray For alas 1t stands at the end of the trail
 So many, many miles away have wandered far from that little home,
 Strayed away from my kindred dear And many the ties there born have since died
 Buried deep with each passing year. Until that home at the end of the trail
 Seems so distant, so far removed; Though dimly it shone and but faintly called
 It has always my spirit soothed Today that home at the end of the trail
 The end SO far distant from me Seems fanciful home much like mirage
 That is seen on the wide prairie. It has lost the force of its human touch,
 Has receded so far away, That it ne'er returned from the earlier years
 Unless called by Loves magic sway. So tonight sit in the gathering gloom
 Dreaming dreams of the bygone years While the little home at the end O the trail
 Come to light through veil of tears. I may never travel that trail again
 Except in such moments as these, When thoughts of the home at the end of the trail My fancy awakens and frees.

Massachusetts is about ready to em- bark upon seashore park development spree. Efforts are being made to have a number of areas along the Bay, State coast set up as state parks. One step to- wards this advocates believe would be creating new Department of Conserva- ton and Recreation in place of the pres ent Department of Conservation; Well, that may speed up the work, but call it by any other name and the same thing could be done, if the state is willing.

 RED TAPE SECURITY
 Even the President occasionally has to use club on the red tape boys to get what he wants.
 Roosevelt was anxious to get an early start on hberalizing amend ments to the Social Security Act, in order to head off the Town send and other funny money" pension schemes. But every time he asked the Social Security board for its amendments he was told they weren't ready.
 The Board had been working on them more than two years, but still was fiddling around. After repeated messages from the White House, however, the Board finally sent word to Roosevelt that the amendments would be ready about mid-January.
 That date came and went, and still no amendments were re- ceived. Irritated by the procrastin- ation, the President dictated letter to Congress and sent a copy of it to the Board, with a memo demanding that the long promised amendments be on his desk the next day so he could send them to Capitol Hill.
 The peremptory command
 threw the Board into a fearful
 dither. The amendments had

 Editor, Waterbury Democrat:
 Today,s issue of "Ths Brooklyn Tablet" contains its usual quota of live Christian news - page 3 stands out in particular-within two columns of each other there is clearly shown the present day trc"d in Americanism as related to Chris tianity.
 Column one relates the story of American Christian Society sound truck operating under legal permit being forced from the streets of New York because Communists attacked the operators who were disseminat- ing pure Christian Americanism- police of New York revoked license of truck operators because the Com munists' attack caused disorders" Column three of same issue details the activities of 8 horde of these same Reds Gin front of St. Patricks $ CathedraD who jostled, spat upon, hurled insulting epithets at and otherwise attacked worshippers com- ing from and entering the Catholic cathedral. New York police did not give the expected protection to the Catholic parishioners, again the ex- cuse was to "avoid disorders"
 These two events with the police reactions bear close resemblance to the stories from Spain of 1886.

A bill of considerable importance fac ing, the Legislature is that advocated by State Highway Commissioner William J. Cox. It sets up definitions for highways and pathways in Connecticut. It also provides legal justification for entrances and exits to such parkways. This is highly controversial subject right now due to all the wrangling that ensued over the construction of the Merritt Park way Everyone wanted an exit, but the department stuck to ts policy o1 building them where they served the best purpose and not providing any private entrances to big estates. The present bill Will clear up a number of legal difficulties in pres ent-day construction.

logic is followed its natural conclu- sion would 1t not be necessary to close St. Patrick,s Cathedral to "avoid disorders?
 Another item of interest to Chris tians by Anthony Ashley is the story telling of the suppressmg the great motion picture drama, "Golgotha, an authenticated Christian presen- tation of the Passion and death ot Jesus Christ from His. entrance into Jerusalem, the events Of the ensuing tragic week ending with His Resur- rection from the tomb.
 The suppression of "Golgotha" was due to being anti-Semitic-according to the opinion of that celebrated lib- eral minded Jewish leader, Rabbi Stephen s. Wise of New York.
 By the same token the greater part of the attackers before St. Patrick's s Cathedral were Jews, according to the story-so we have another reason for considering the closing of the Cathedral.
 And they say 1t can't happen here.
