Take this straight from Governor Trumbull, who ex- pressed this view this week at New Haven. The day Is past, in the opinion of the governor, when a man without means can serve in office, Such tasks must be taken care of by moneyed men, who look upon the honorium not as a means of support but as an incidental something which is acceptable. When hemade his Governor Trumbull was discussing polities as a career. He sald that “politics for the young celliege grad- uate should be viewed not as a vo- cation but simply as an opportunity to serve.” Then he made the start- ling statement that *no one without an independent income should think of following a political carcer. A man forced to rely entirely on his salary cannot, jn general, serve the state and country to the best of his Classified Mildred: “That girl is a regular talking-machine."” Marjorfe: “Worse than that, She's as two-faced as a record.” -B.

It is just possible that the gov- crnor has forgotten recent events in Washington when men entered office poor but honest and came were thrown out, rich and without consciences, Perhaps the poor man may decide that the way to become independently wealthy is to get a political job first, Tt amuses us to hear of men in high offices paternally patting the and making such statements as “If the politician go into ofce with a view of serving his fellow men, well and good. Otherwise it would be inad- visable both from his own and his country's standpoint.”” The truth, so far as Connecticut is concerned, is that ‘“politiclans go into office” hecause the machine puts them there and the machine has never heen accused of keeping public weal In fts mind. 1f a man wants to go into office in this state he must first genuflect to J.
