MIR. JUSTICE FRANK MUIR
AVA PLY is not alone among
our prominent politicians in
itching to get into the combat
services.
Presumably, the Supre m e
Court jurist is merely to be on
inactive duty during the vaca-
ton of the court. Presumably,
also. if the war situation should
require him to remain in the
army, he will resign and permit
the President to fill the vacancy
thus created.
There is no precedent in our
history for a member OF the
Supreme Court to take vaca-
ton from the court, even for
the laudable and patriotic pur-
pose of fighting for his country.
Who would have authority to
grant an unlimited. leave of alb
sence to a justice Of the Su-
preme Court? How could he
possibly grant 1t to himself?
Out in Minnesota, Governor
Harold E. Stassen has gone and
got himself a "quickie" commits
sion as a lieutenant commander
in the navy. but he hasn't let
that interfere with his candi-
dacy for the Republican guber-
material nomination. nor will he
permit il TO hinder him from
running for a third term in
November. in the event he wins
the nomination.
DUT In Governor Stasscn's
- case. something new has
been added. The governor has
announced that in the event of
his reelection he will resign
after serving 90 days.
Hence. the real contest in
Minnesota. so far as the Re-
publicans are concerned. will be
for the lieutenant governorship,
since the successful candidate
for that office will become gov
ernor when Lieutenant Com
mander Stassen (assuming he
wins the nomination and cleo
ton for governor) walks the
quarterback along about the first
of next April.
AS the first day for filing in
the Minnesota primaries has just
occurred as this is written. it
, is impossible as yet to indicate
VIII rat the lineup in the state
will be.
The present lieutenant gov
ernor of Minnesota. Elmer An
derson. who was elected along
with Stassen four years ago. and
again two years ago, is some
thing of a political accident in
Minnesota politics.
He Is not part OF the Stassen
!. organization, and the informa-

him he may yet be president.
He is personable, vigorous, act
i've. aggressive, progressive and
a brilliant speaker.
With war record to supple
ment these attributes, Stassen
might be a hard man to be
beaten by a presidential aspir-
ant without military service in
this war.
Ten million or more men and
women will have been in the
armed services of this country
by 1914. There will be enough
of them TO take over the United
States politically and run il.
From now on young men-and
women, too--who don't get into
this war are going to be polit-
ically impotent.

A Two-FoId Tribute

n ETROTTERS will join with the rest of the nation
- tomorrow in a two-fod patriotic ceremony. They
will pledge anew their allegiance to their flag and give
enthusiastic salute to General Macarthur. a.
This citys official Joint tribute will be expressed at
gigantic and spectacular meeting on Belle Isle.
THERE is especial fitness in the circumstance that

Flag Day.
BY salutng the flag we honor its defenders by pay
ing honor to the valiant and leaders of our armed
forces, obesance to the flag.
AS the flag is the symbol of our national unity, of
national institutions and of national aspirations,
does General Macarthur stand forth in this hour
great representative of those who carrying to
enemies beneath the folds of the flag battle to pre-
these priceless heritages.
Whether Douglas Macarthur Day be celebrated in
communities this Saturday. whether it be
bned in other communities with the customary Flag Day
exercises tomorrow. it is appropriate either way
GONE may have wondered why Douglas Macarthur
- Day should have been desired, since Flag Day
at hand.
The reason is really plain enough.
Flag Day is a well-estabshed ceremonial which
Americans observe regularly in peace well as in

Whereas the members of the United States land
and naval forces who participated in the defense of the

A Time of War

1.-TWO everything" wrote the wise old
Preacher in the Book of Ecclesiastes,
there is season, and a time to every
purpose under the heaven: time to be
born and time to die; time to plant,
and a time to pluck up that which is
planted; time to kill and a time to
heal; time to break down and
time to build up; time to
mourn and time to dance -. time to
love and time to hate; time of war
and time of peace -

our lives in time of war. At this mo-

hood registering for service, of whom per-
haps two more millions will be called this
year in addition to two millions now serv-
ing, it is time of goodby. It is a hard
time for everyone; but it is hardest for
those who must part, and who must say
goodby. If there were no more than
that, it would be insupportable. But the
same old Preacher in his wisdom knew
that the time to kill is followed by the
time to heal. That, too will come
Perhaps all America is saying goodby

yet not OF it. Goodby to the old tendency

made material life so much better than
it needs to be for a comparative few, SO
much less good than it ought to be for
SO many.
Goodby to false social standards and
cancerous envy. Goodby to arbitrary and
artificial class distinctions, existing in
America without shadow of an excuse
for being, conjured up sometimes even
where they do not exist. Goodby to de-

trouble, to cringing submission to eco
nomic misery for which there is no longer
any reason except the inelastic workings
of the mind of man. Goodby to fear and

all that.
Out of the fiery trial of this war, with
all it's goodbys and heartbreaks, all its
pain and suffering, all it's destruction and
hatred, can come the America of which
our fathers dreamed land of free
dom for all. To everything there is sea-

also come after the guns are silent. Any
one who does not dedicate himself to this,

himself, has failed America, has failed

No Backing Down

The Board OF Police Commissioners is
not going to back down on its stand with
regard to all-night parking. In a way
that's a good thing. However, majority
of people, particularly The property
owners never wanted the board to change
its mind about banning all night parking
on all streets of the city. The majority
of property owners, whether or not they
own garages, are convinced that present
day conditions demand some strict regu-
lationS about allowing cars TO be parked
all night long throughout the residential
districts.
There remains naturally a detail or
two to be taken care of by the authorities
and it was noticeable that the Police
Board stressed the point that it intended
to see to it that there were sufficient
garages or parking facilities in every
neighborhood that is now hard put to
accommodate the cars that nightly are run
off the streets into back yards, up alleys,
onto front yards, and between buildings.
Every effort will be made by the authorl-
ties to provide safe parking place IN the
immediate neighborhood of the car
owner.
The Democrat contended long before
the city enforced a downtown parking
ban that something would have to be
done eventually about an evil that correc-
ton of another evil was bound to create.
City officials say that from the very out
set of their campaign to rid the streets
of the all-night parkers they contem-
plated finding facilities for all forced
from their customary curb-Slde Derths.
If they can succeed in SO doing, and We
think their job will become easier the
longer the war is prolonged with it's tire
and gas rationing, not to mention rising
taxes, the city will be a vastly-improyed
community in which to live

A newspaper editorialist writes as
follows: "The British have an irritating
habit of doing things too late. But they
are pretty likely to do the right thing IN
the long run, which is more than can
be hoped from Germany Italy and Japan.
Ireland is fair example. 1t should have
been free long ago, one may say. Yet it
is free today and in the face of tremen-
dous pressure from the military and naval
situation, Britain has not moved to
threaten Irish freedom, though Fires
neutrality is a tremendous disadvantage
to her. !" The writer then goes on to
compare this situation with the one in
India. We don't want to discuss that.
We want to discuss Fire. If this nation
was given the freedom that was righttully
hers by virtue OF race, geography, etc,
then why was the country partltloned
and six counties kept under the British
flag? If the answer is because these six
ounties-Northern Ireland-preferred 1t,
then the answer is wrong and the person
saying it closes his eyes to the truth that
the will of a majority of Irish people
were ignored with regard to the partition
and the will of a minority allowed 10

Almost Incredible

To lend weight to the recent arguments
OF local officials that state agencies err
in claiming that Waterbury's population
is still just about what it was when the
decennial census was taken in 1910 there
is the very reliable information from
Bridgeport that modest estimates now
set this city's population at $4,000. Some
estimates go even higher than that, put
ting the city's size at 100000 which,
offhand, would seem to put Bridgeport
up at the top of our Connecticut .communi-
ties.
We doubt if Hartford and New Haven
approach this total, although both are
admittedly much larger today than they
were two years ago. And by the same
token Waterbury can also claim a swollen
population. And if you don't think so
then try to find rent that suits both
your pocketbook and your taste. It's next
to impossible and the only explanation is
that there are more people living here
now and coming in all the time as defense
manufacturing touches new heights.
A glance at the employment figures for
Waterbury is proof enough of our abnor-
NAL growth in the last year. The city
probably won't retain this size and per-
haps by the next federal census in 1850
We'll have dropped down below the 100, 900
figure once again, but if the count were
made today there'd be no doubt about
being in the class of 100000 cities.

Light That Paled

Liberty Enlightening the World, colos

to have been fitted with three brilliant
3,000-watt mercury lamps to throw its
light defiantly for out to sea, must now
be satisfied with two tiny 100-watt bulbs.

We yield a pretty piece of symbolism to
the necessities of war. The essential
reality we do not yield It is that Lib
erty's light may shine out as never before
that we buckle down to our task of de-
feating her enemies. She still stands as a
symbol of Liberty darkened by the shad-
ow of war throughout the world 1t is
our task to bring into being the day when
her actual physical light. as we'll as her
even now undimmed spiritual light, may

There is food for thought in the action
of a Meriden police court judge. He has
been filming motorists who leave their
cars in front of private homes for long
periods, as we'll as obstruct private drive
ways. Complaint was made by property
owner that he often was unable to go In
or out of his garage during the evening
because patrons at nearby theaters
parked, bumper to bumper, in front OF
his home and obstructed his driveway.

steps many undoubtedly can 90 the

is difficult at best, but this does not grant
