Claiming everything in sight is an old stunt in politics and asser- tions by both Seymour and Fenn factions that they are assured of a majority of convention votes may be digested with ax grain of salt. Beating the old bass drum is a trick familiar to candidates for of- fice. Just now they seem to be do ing this thing tith gusto and verve. Mayor Quigley's remark to the reporters that he was seriously thinking of running for the nomina- tion was simply a notice to the convention that he was to be con- sidered as a dark horse. It is also generally accepted as a warning that he will be in the front rank as a candidate in 1934. If Quigley continues to bé a political power and holds sway then as he does to- day among the republicans in New Britain, it may not be such an empty warning.

Weighing the results of the re- publican probate court primary Thursday, political seers are at- tempting to draw aside the curtain of the future to see whether Prose- cutor Woods' position is threaten- ed by his defeat by Attorney Gen- | eral Alling. | The prosecutor's term of office | expires in April. He is elected by | the common council which seems | to enjoy being led around by the | nose by the powers that be. By his | opposition to the organization, | which supported Alling, he left his position open to members of the council who have not enthused over him in the past. Flying in the face of the organiza- tion—unless your name happens to be Quigley—is less majeste and the penalty is thumbs down. For several years an anti-Woods faction has existed in the common council. The prosecutor was elect- ed for his present term by a nar- row margin and it is not unlikely | that his enemies may attempt to elimate that margin entirely next spring. None has spoken publicly in criticism of Mr. Woods but pol- itics is politics and the desire to re- place him is based chiefly on the | hope of elevating some special fav- i orite who wants the job. | Getting a political post, accord- |ing to those whose experience has | given them wisdom, is not as dif- | ficult as holding it. From the time a man takes the oath of office, there are forces at work trying to undermine him for the sole purpose of promoting the candidacy of someone who is on the outside | looking in. The office of prosecutor |is no exception to this general | rule. No doubt Mr. Woods' oppo- | nents will try to cash in on his op- position to Mr. Alling at the pri- mary when his term expires. 1\'. M. C. A. Camp in Litchfield Should be Named for Secretary. Name it Camp Barnes. The idea of calling the new Y. M. C. A. summer camp at Bantam Lake for the general secretary of the Y is hereby suggested. When Clarence F. Barnes ob- tained the site for camping, it had possibilities which he appreciated. It was in a rough state but he could envision it several years hence fully developed and ready to accommodate hundreds of boysand young men who sought mental and physical recreation in the bracing air of the Litchfield Hills. Barnes has gone a great way to make-something out of the material at hand. Although the camp is far from the its future is bright because its de- velopment is powered by a man of determination and tenacious will. During the past summer, its first season, the camp has been refur- bished and made more suitable for human habitation and enjoyment. This was not accomplished without great effort. Barnes has a knack of directing his efforts effectively to- ward a certain goal. He has worked hard and has been faithful to his task. That's why the Observer suggests —Name it Camp Barnes. Enforced Inspecticn of All Autemobiles Desirable The Save-a-Life-Campaign re- cently conducted in Connecticut had for its purpose the praiseworthy object of protecting pedestrians from motor drivers and motor dri ers from each other. Brakes, horns, lights and other safety devices were inspected but that system was so loose that many drivers escaped go- ing through the grilling. Tests were made at certain points in the city. It motorists avoided these points, their machines were not subject to examination. No plan devised by the mind of man is perfect and it would be un- fair to expect 100 per cent resulte from the campaign in Connecticut But improvement, a striving for pcrfection, is possible. The stata ceuld adopt the policy of Massa- chusetts making it compulsory for every motorist to have his safety equipment inspected by the police or motor vehicle department agents at least once a year. In the Bay State, where they secem to be one leap ahead of everyone else in re- gard to progressive legislation, stickers indicating that automobiles have been examined and-have been approved are pasted ¢cn each car which satisfactorily answers re- quirements. The stigker serves as a passport along the h¥ghway but cars which fail to carry stickers are looked upon as “outlaws' and drivers | never know when they are going to be thumbed over to the side of the road by a policeman. By following this policy, Massa- chusetts officials believe they have taken a step toward the elimination | of rolling junk traps which are a | menace to all who venture beyond the thresholds of their homes. Faulty equipment is not responsi- ble for all accidents. Reckless, care- lessness and failure on the part of drivers to remain mentally alert are partly to blame for the large casualty lists which appear in the newspapers daily. By forcing auto- mobile owners to maintain safety devices at a high standard is helpful to everyonme concerned. | The man who keeps his brakes | and lights in good condition has |nothing to fear. Connecticut should | set behind him and force the others to improve their safety devices or keep off the road. Telephone gyste;; Put Into Vatican’s Domain Vatican City, Sept. 6 (UP)—The | Vatican City's new telephone sys- | tem, with six hundred numbers and a telephone instrument in the top of the cupola of St. Peters cathed- ral, will be opened officially early in October. Thirty thousand meters of wire have been used in the in- stallation. Futher modernization of the Va- tican city is seen in the | ment that the old Napoleonic style uniform of the papal gendarmes on duty outside the palaces is about to be abandoned for simpler and more up to date dress.

During the school year hundreds of students in~ vade the reference room in search of material for essays and debates, The reading of required books ' in English courses also helps to in- crease the number of library pat- rons. Added to this. the cooler | weather always result¢ in an in- crease of circulation because people feel more inclited to remain in. doors. During the summer library workers have prepared a huge number of juvenile books which will prove ‘popular with school chil- dren of the lower grades. Many of these books are old favorites and classics done in large type, bound attractively and illustrated in fetch- ing colors by Tony Sarg and other masters of the craft. staff “The Two T's—Teacher and Taught,” is the title of the special shelf which is attracting consider= able interest at the library this week. For those who desire an ex- | cellent treatise on education that 1§ different A. S. Neill's “A Dominie’s Leg,” “O Dominie in Doubt,” and “A Dominie Dismissed,” will pro- vide interesting reading. No ordi- nary school teacher is Neill and the ideas for which he was dismissed vears ago are now being adopted by leading educators. The books are informally written and are of inter- est to students as well as te teachers. Begininng with an article in 1852 on The Metaphysical Assumptions of Materialism, which appeared in | the Journal of Speculative Philoso- rhy, John Dewey has been a pros lific writer—one whose every write | ten statement has an interest for | educators. Many of his books are | to be found on the shelves of the { local library and would furnish ap- | propriate reading for thos: ahout ta renew the daily grind of classes. Clergymen and religious workers are chiet among the borrowers of “The Agony. of Christianity.” by Miguel de Unamuno. somefime rec- tor of the University of Salamanca. In his preface he says, “What I propose to lay bare here is my own agony, my Christian struggle, the agony of Christianity in me: its death and resurrection at every sin- gle moment of my inner life.” Bryon. Blake, Shelley, Elizabeth Erowning. Gladstone and Shaw are among the Britishers quoted in, “The Voice of Freedom." compiled by H. W. Nevinson. It starts with King Ethelbert, England's first democrat, and traces the growth of freedom in England down to the last utterance by Rupert Brooke, the soldier-poet. Playgoers invariably enjoy read- ing plays and there are few collec- ticns more charming than the thres in “Shall We Join the Ladies?" by Sir James Barrie, that strange mix- ture of delightful fancies and Scotch common sense. Recently | Barrie was made a freeman of his rative town of Kirriemuir, an honor which never before in the history of that ancient burgh has been be- stowed on anyone. Kirriemuir is cnly another word for Thrums and to Barrie readers that explains everything. The library's collection of Barrie is in almost continual cir- culation. New Britain vacationists whn toured England during the summer will be interested in ‘*“America's England,” one of the new library volumes. M. V. Hughes, the author, has presented the mellowness of England in its quintessence. Recent events in Poland have been of unusual interest to Polish residents of New Britain. Although most of the Polish patrons of the library borrow books written in their own tongue, not a few take English books dealing with their native land. Among these one of the most popular is, “Pilcudski and Po- lznd,” by Rom Landau. MAINE CAMPAIGN NEARING ITS END State May Lose Seat in House After Reapportionment Portland.
