The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-11-14
A Question Of Fees

The press of the state is beginning to comment on the size of the fees in the Waterbury conspiracy case. Almost i'm mediately after Judge Ernest L. 1nglls had approved the $70,000 bill of States Attorney Acorn, his two assistants and former County Detective Edward Hickey speculation on the size, on the justice ot the charges, and on related matters started to appear. It is of much interest here, since the city was the focal point of the now-famous trial and may con- tinue to be until appeals of some Of the accused have been properly disposed or.
 If everyone is satisfied with the out come of the trial, then therell be no fault found whatsoever with the fees. II there is any dissatisfaction this will be expressed in complaint about exor- bitant fees. But there may be a school of thought that might take an in-be- tween stand. Members of this group would admit that the public officials earned their fees in this case, but they might protest against the establishment of a precedent which would result in similarly high fees when other public prosecutors were called upon to act in what was defined as "big and lmpor- tant" case.
 The Bridgeport Times-Star believes that the Waterbury trial should have convinced the state of the need of mak- ing the office of States Attorney full time job with the incumbent sacrificing his entire private practice and law-firm affiliations, but being recompensed, as are judges of the higher courts. It looks to legislation along these lines in 1941. The Hartford Times incllneS to the viewpoint that the public might agree that the job done by the prosecution in Waterbury was well worth the price charged, but fees on what they were accustomed to receive as employees of the state and not what might be O. k in private practice.
 A satisfied customer is the best proof in this case. And how many customers go away satisfied every time?

Shorter Campaigns

Republicans next fall will take a leaf from local and state election contests by shortening the length of time in which spielers will enumerate the virtues ot the COP presidential candidate. cam paign of about one month in length IS planned by the national party, all or which is in keeping with the modern trend in electioneering. Waterbury re- cently had taste of it in the campaign that ended today at the polls with three political parties battling for control of the local city government.
 A good many people might think that the present campaign was long one, but they would be confusing the city campaign with the previous one to put across a new form of city charter. we have had long dose of campaigning to be sure, but not one sustained drive. There were actually two and each one served definite purpose. Had they come at two entirely different times ot the year, the actual campaigning would have been very short indeed.
 Time was when six weeks was regarded as necessary in which to carry on suc- cessful local campaign. Half that time is really enough today and some believe that whirlwind campaign of two weeks does more good than a prolonged one. Rallies and hall gatherings are rapidly giving way before radio talks and dis cussionS. The wise political director runs streamlined campaign to satisfy the man who pulls the lever.

sixteen years old and be possessor of a hunting license. Then you must hold a permit to be issued by the State Board of Fisheries and Game.
 That's where the catch comes in. Just because you're hunter does not entitle you to hunt deer You must be an owner or lessee of agricultural land and citi- zen of the U. S. A. After you've shot a deer you have to file report within 24 hours of the killing on special form fur nished you by the state board. And you can't hunt deer during the period from one-half hour after sunset to one-half hour before sunrise. In short there won't be any such war on deer as have occurred in states where an open season was pro- claimed for brief periods, in order to de- crease the number of animals and thus eliminate destruction.

War Drives Out Liberties

Wartime dictatorship, in otherwise Democratic nations, is not confined to the machinations of the central govern ment. It spreads its tentacles into every county and hamlet; it touches every local official. Its decrees are almost as string ent, if not quite as brutal, as those of peace-time Fascist power
 England is learning all that over again. The people and their local officials in small communities far from London and comparatively safe from the ravages of air-raiders are no longer self-governing. If the Crown was apathetic about their small affairs before the war, it is vitally interested in them now. England has been divided into 10 regions, with an additional region each for Scotland and Wales. Each region is governed strictly by commissioner sent out from London. The entire system is closely co-ordinated with Whitehall.
 War always brings on those things. The little liberties that people once knew and hardly ever thought about are cur tailed. Freedom of press, speech and assembly are privileges to be used dis creetly, not openly as before. No nation, not the most Democratic among them, can escape martial dictatorship when war strikes, and that's a point for all Americans to remember

Deer Season To Open

Hunting of deer in this state, in modi- fled form, will stand on November 16 and will continue until February 29, 1940. The State Board of Fisheries and Game has just issued it's regulations governing the hunting of these animals, many of whom are said to be making permanent residence in our state today. At the last session of the Legislature Litchfield County legislators made strong plea for an open season on deer, because they claimed the deer were so plentiful as to be menace on Litchfield County highways.
 And toktheir pleas were added those of farmery and orchardists who maintain that deA are eating their crops in the fields ld nibbling the tender apple blossoms in the spring. All of which probably broke the Legislature down bit for 1t did put through bill which allows hunting deer, after fashion. In the first place you have to be at least

Several hum dred persons must be examined, and when the carrier, who may be entirely free from the disease and unaware that he, or she, carries the bacillus, is found, he or she must be isolated and, If possible made harm less in future.
 An outbreak of disease that causes i2 deaths and strikes down 47 additional patients is serious visitation, and 1t is all the more pitiful that its victims should be aged women. The fact that the out break has been limited to the wo- mems infirmary is regarded as proof that 1t is due to some attendant or other person not working in any other part of the institution, and by patient and thorough work the cause will be found.
 There is in this outbreak another warning to the public to be ex- tremely careful in personal habits. The form of dysentery at Norwich apparently is spread in much the same way as typhoid formerly was distributed, through the bacillus get- ting into the food or drink of the patients from the hands of e carrier who is not of cleanly habits. It is to be hoped that the authorities will be successful in quickly ending the menace that seemingly exists at the institution.

Oddly enough Kilmer's home in New Brunswick, N. J., was recently the scene of an interesting ceremony. It's now the headquarters of Joyce Kilmer Post, 25, American Legion. The lawn in front of the home is treeless, so fellow member of the post donated pair of oak trees and there was quite a ceremony when the trees were set out on the lawn. The attend ing ceremonies were quite elaborate with a radio broadcast and nationally-known radio commentator, Ted Malone, who has o poetry symposium hour, in charge. All of which might not mean thing, had We become interested in what the poets widow said about his best-loved poem, "TreeS".

WHAT! NO KILTs?
(New London Day)

The decision of the British war office to ban the kilt in battle, among the Scottish troops in France has brought a prolonged howl Of anger and dismay. So vigorous has been the protest been, in fact, that mass meetings have been held to "talk up" the possible means of get- ting a revision of the rule. Lieut.. Col. Norman Mcleod, for instance, says that all Scots who wore kits in the World War can testify that they were an entirely suitable dress. Scotsmen, he says, fused to hold their kits over their heads and wade through the mud. We could dry our legs and the kilt was warm and dry when we let 1t down." Prac- tical enough, except that 1t would still seem that kilt must be a little drafty around the knees on winters day.
 The old time kilt, of course, was more than just & skirt. It was more of a wrap-around. Hanging from the shoulders, it could be used to wrap the body and thus keep out the wind, much as 9 blanket is now. But the modernization of the kilt has changed all that, until the accepted kilt is more of a skirt than a garment falling nearly to the ankles. But as a symbol of Scottish national spirit, pride os clan and nationality, 1t wolsd seem that 1t has far more value to the Scottish troops than any substituted costume possibly could have. The stories still are told, for instance, of the fierce fighting men that went to war in the days between 1914 and 1918 wearing the kilt, and of the consternation among the Germans when the ''ladies from hell" ap- peared over the top of a trench.
 For the sake of euphony 1t would seem more appropriate to call them the "ladies from hades," and for the sake of peace and quiet among the Scottish regiments it would be bet ter to leave them their beloved kits. Just how utilitarian they really are it remains for British high officials to figure out, but as d means of inspiring troops from the Scottish area it would seem that they have no equal in pep talks and other means commonly adopted to arouse enthusiasm.

A short time ago the widow of Joyce Kilmer attracted some attention when she was quoted in the press as stating that "Trees," the well-known poem con- posed by her late husband, was not one of his best writings, but was one of his poorest. In Mrs. Kilmer's opinion this might be so, but millions of Americans regard it as typically Kilmer and always identify it with the famous poet soldier who was killed in the last World War. Some might question it's literary style or quality, but few would argue about it's popularity. It isn't always mans best work that attracts the most attention. We've heard all sorts of literary criti- cisms of the late Zane Grey's writings but who can dispute the fact that he was so popular as writer that his books often sold in the millions.

Harding Epoch
 Examined Again

Harding Epoch
 Examined Again
 You can put down Samuel Hopkins
 Adams Incredible Era" (H0ugh-
 ton, Mifflin: S3) as swift, sure
 picture of a swift but not so sure
 period of American history. This
 is the story of the life and times
 of Warren G. Harding. It offers
 nothing particularly new, but it
 is an important portrait of the
 weather President who got
 caught in a twister. It seems dis
 passionate, gives you winning,
 futile, tragic Harding. The "mys-
 tery" of his death is examined in
 this brief excerpt:
 Scandal, as it had clouded War ren G. Harding's life, haunted his death. Today there are many peo- pie in Ohio, contemporaries and in some cases friends of the Hardings, who are immovably convinced that Mrs. Harding made away with her husband by poison, a mercy killing to save him from impending dis grace. They argue that she must have known how hopelessly he was compromised by the malfeasances of his friends and appointees.
 Harding himself was in state of nervous dread, aggravated by portentous news W h h had reached him in the course of his itinerary. He could hardly have failed to foresee that the oil leases, if proven fraudulent Gas they were proven) would react upon him with the probable result of his impeachment.
 Much if not all of this was known to Mrs. Harding. Add to her perturbation a jealousy which had so grown upon her as often to be an embarrassment to those about her, and additional motive is adducible. Jealousy, com- bined with her dread of an im- pending catastrophe which might drive them both from the White House, would logically impel her to a solution natural to her strong willed and violent temperament.
 (BuD there was no mystery. other than that conjured up by excited minds. or concocted and commercialized by Gaston B. Means. Categoricaly it cannot be proven that Harding was not poisoned because no autopsy was performed. But giving all req sonable weight to the motives and opportunities. there is absolutely no valid evidence for poison: nothing more than suspicion and coincidence.

 The Agricultural Experiment Sta- ton reports that the Japanese beetle is extending Its ravages throughout the state, gradually spreading rom urban areas into suburban and rural districts. Att tacking lawns, shade trees and even fruit crops, the pest has already in- vaded eighty Connecticut towns - nearly half the state total. Last summer public and private lawns in Hartford and Bridgeport were ser- iously mutilated by the voracious beetle grubs and twenty acres right here in East Rock park are "infest- ed to a dangerous degree"
 Cold weather will soon curb tem- porarily these insect saboteurs' &C., tivity, but property owners are urged to make use of whatever lead arsenate they have on hand and lay in ample supplies for the spring of- fensive. Although parasites which prey on the Japanese beetle sup- piled by the United States Division of Agriculture have been loosed in those parts of the state where dam- age threatens to hearch serious pro- portions. artificial controls applied by individual property owners re- main the most widespread and effi- cient defense.
 Dust or spray then. plenty of 1t. and spread on thick. Better a white residue on the lawn than no lawn ct all.
