WETHERSFIELD “CRUELTY” AND THE SHIRT SHOP A barbarous method of purish- ment in the Connecticut prison, which has become a subject of com- ment within recent days, is not new. It was in 1929 that the National Society of Penal Information of New York city issued its last “Handbook of American Prisons,” which included reports on all state and federal prisons and reforma- tories in the United States based on personal inspection by the society’s representatives, Paul W. Garrett and Austin H. MacCormick. Their reports have been verified and cor- rected by the officlals of the insti- | tutions in question. This handbook shows that the most severe punishments were found | in six states—Connecticut, Illinois, Kentucky, Minnesota, Rhode Island and West Virginia, where prisoners were found handcuffed to a ring in the wall or to the doors of their cells during working hours. Nothing was more piquant in the account of the Rev. Dr. William H. Smith, former chaplain of Weth- ersfield prison, than his suggestion that the mainspring of the authori- ties in running the Connecticut State prison is the operation of the shirt shop. The shirt shop is efficient from the standpoint of production, it appears, and it must show u profit. This is an inevitable concomitant of the pay-as-you-go principle. The Wethersfield prison, we presume, is a paying institution. The shirt shop is running every day, its machinery is'operated by prisoners who cannot | "complain of conditions and have no recourse but to work as they are told, and the product goes into the | channels of trade, competing with similar products made by free labor. A few years ago, when it as real- ized by the state government that | the federal Hawes-Cooper law, sign- ed by Mr. Coolidge, to prevent prison-made goods from entering| into interstate commerce, would go into effect in 1934, there was a loud outery among state politicians. | Wetherstield prison but ruined, it was said, and the pris- oners would “have nothing to do with their time.” | What & terrible outlook. The former prison chaplain has quite well shown that this fear is a myth, that there is plenty to do if the prison authorities, or the state gov- ernment, know enough to manage the prison along different lines. Some acrid discussion has been caused by the state's failure to pro-| vide adequately for the tubercular of the state. This criticism, is justi- fied. The Democrats and critics generally might well add the man- | agement of Wethersfield prison to| thefr list of issues. Mr. Paonessa, | we notics, has already done so. | BRAZIL FACES ITS GREATEST CRISIS Now that it has been possible to obtain uncensored news from Brazii | it 13 more than ever evident that| the federzl g of that| great South American nation is at grips with the gravest of emergen- vernment cies, and if unsuccessful in erasing the revolt faces the possibility of secession by some of the states. It m though the Brazil modeled on southern e Mumbiied that | itution is United | States, it allows a far greater meas- | ure of states’ rights, so that each of the 20 states is almost independent, | accepting the interference the ‘ federal government in I matters. This rather loose con ation has always stimulated the im- | portance of the of which today are attempting to erase | all further tra that of th of ve states, some s of federal inter- | ference in their affairs. The revolu- tion in Brazil, many observers thi i is basically a test of states' rights | against what some of the states term federal usurpation. The crux of the revolt now hinges upon the attempted penetration of Sao Paulo, and if this is not success- fully accomplished by the rebels a long drawn out revolution is in pros- | pect. It would be an admittedly hard task by the federals to capture im- would be all | possible time. the state of Rio Grande do Sul, where the inhabitants have always been aloof from northern Brazilians, holding them as inferior. It must be remembered that Bra- zil covers a larger territory than the United States or Canada. From its northeast tip—which is considerab- ly closer to Europe than any point in North America—to the scuth- ern tip is as far as the dis- tance from New York to Vera Cruz, Mexico. The width of the country is as far as from New York to north- ern California at the Pacific ocaan. Of course, all this land is not oc- cupied. Enormous areas of the west- ern proportion are unexplored, ex- cept for airplanes which have flown over it. The seacoast, how- ever, is well populated, and Rio de Janeiro is one of the finest cities in the world. Failure of the rebels to take over all the government would still leave them with control of the states where the revolt spirit is strong. How the federal government would conquer such states if they should persist in their spirit of revolt is difficult to contemplate at this time. The difficulty in Brazil is that in the states where the revolt centers it is practically an unanimous uprising by the population; and as the dis- tances are vast and the populations in the more important states con- siderable, the South American im- broglio is in truth a major develop- ment on the map of the western hemisphere. THE WICKED BEARS 1t is not surprising that officiale of the stock exchange went to the White House to confer with the President to enlist his aid in pre- venting bear raids. These have been altogether too sugcessful of late and it the President has it within his power to do something about it he will please many a stock owner by exerting his influence. Neither the President nor government have any facilities for curbing the bears, however. If false information could be shown to have been spread across states through the telegraph or by mail the gov- ernment could step in and prose- cute. But the intent of such inform- atlon would have to be shown as being designed to deprese the stock market, and this would have to be proven. There is small chance of success in this direction Incidentally most such information, If it is spread, probably is done through the telephone, which leaves no trace of the conversations. 1t is the fundamental that makes bear raids possible. When stocks are on the upgrade the bears have no chance to exert 4 bad influence. Merely because the bulls have had the worst of the tussle on exchange is no reason for soreness at the bears. Let the pow- | ers-that-be, including the admin-) istration, do more to change the| fundamental conditions which g.ve“ the bears their opportunity and| there will be no necessity to wax, wroth over what the bears are like- 1y to do to line their pockets. condition FROM BAD TO WORSE Another change in the parking ystem around the center is contem- plated in an endeavor to clarify what | remains an unattractive situation, No matter what is done it is doubtful whether much good will be attained until there are fewer buses and trolley cars permitted to utilize the Center as a terminal, ter- minal warchouse, nal, passenger termi- or a municipal parking as place. A week or so ago. on a_certain | Saturday night, we strolled to the Center and counted the number of | trolleys and automobiles standing still at one time. There vere six trolley cars and eleven buses with. in eyeshot. Some of the buses were s0 crowded for room that they could not gain the vicinity of the curbs and jutted out into the right of way. No cfiort seemed the to be: made by department to bring any of these space occupiers to terms with the This situation police traffic clty ordinances. lasted for minuies and though here several and there a bus or troiley left to go on its trip, others took their place. Yet cach time an effort has been made to spread the terminal situa- tion further to other points in the downtown area there have becn pro- by the companies, part of the v hi inclined regard suc as d tests and by a public 10 able h a change The situation be is growing worse, and just as cantankerous possible, we hope and trust it grows very worse in the much shortest Only in this way, are convinced, will it ever be pos ble to bring about a i necessary re- form. When conditions become ex- traordinarily bad is done something variabl to improve them At present they are not quite enough to force the city dads whoever is running the ( tempt what eventually will have to e done OLD DESKS AND NEW When there is the mood to criti- cize nothing is left undone to fol- low the urge. It having en shown to everyone's that the school de: tisfaction portant revolting states, especially the | | without any publicity worth men- ; h scems dis- | as in- hudl' or | enter to at- | cents each were sold by the state and not by the city, it still is being claimed by the censoriously inclined that the desks should not have been sold for that price but should have been used somewhere or other, thus giving someone—perhaps coun- try school authorities—the chance of avoiding the purchase of newer desks or tables. Every person who has been in a modern school knows fully that the styles in seating pupils have radi- cally changed; that more modern ideas are in effect; and that they are better ideas than the old. Of course, a bright pupil can learn his lessons at any kind of a desk; but he may as well be comfortable and happy in school. The old-style desks ,would at least not aid him. If there are old:fashioned country schools here and there which can make use of antiquated desks let them have them. We doubt whether this is likely, ho.-ever. Even coun- try schools have progressed a little during the past 30 years. We assume that all the critics of the school desk sale for ten cents each are riding around in 1910 models of automobiles. CITY NEED NOT FEAR A FEW IMPOSTORS It has been said at City Hall that it some sectlons of the public wero to become aware that the city had a large fund at its disposal to succor those in hard luck the city would be fooled into paying .t money to undeserving people who would impose upon its charitable impulses. It is just as well, goes the reasoning, to let it be known posi- tively at this time that the money in the hands of the welfare depart- | ment will be exhausted by February. We sce no reason to feel bad over this. Somebody is going to fool the city regardiess of all the city can do about it or it may be half a dozen somebodies who will per- petrate their hosxes upon the well- meaning city dads, and the city in- cvitably is going to lose a few dollars through their chicanery. That should be no reason, how- ever, why the city should adopt a niggardly policy and deny to per- fectly honest but poor people their means of sustenance this winter. If the city is going to clamp down the | lid upon the honestly deserving merely because a few dishonest per- sons are likely to defraud the city then every private organization at- tempting to alleviate the poor and distressed would be justified in doing the same, When the private organizations | do thelr charity work—usually without the blasting of trumpets and tioning—their members do not lie | awake at nights wondering whether some of the funds or a part of the garments and food distributed has | gone to people who really could | have gotten along without such aid. They take the chance of dropping | a few crumbs where they may not | be necessary in the wholesome be- lief that the majority of the aid ex- tended has gone to the right people. THE HARTFORD BRIDGE AND THE STATE Up in Hartford, where the lordly Connecticut unobtrusively tlows past the city, plans are being made to have the state construct a great new bridge across the river, south of the present structure and much higher, so that vessels from the Sound can pass under it. The state, not the city, is expect- ed to construct the bridge provid- ing a new artery of traffic across the river south of the present bridge. Incidentally it will aid the development of real estate and this and that. Everybody in the town firmly believes in this form of state aid. Down in Bridgeport, where news of this “raid on the treasury” has percolated indignation is wide- spread. Wasn't it only a few years back, the indignant Bridgeporters recall, that the Park City was com- pelled to construct two bridges in order to assist traffic conditions along the state’s Boston Post road? | And didn't the city, not the state, pay for the bridges? Why Hartford do the same? is asked. Why isn't Hartford forced to pay for its bridge at least partly, in- stead of relying upon state funds? These are and Bridgeport is asking We, too, should like to know how it is that the state is going to foot the entire bill. Is Hartford too poor to pay for a part of it? Or perhaps a mist cannot fair questions justified in them. was made | when Bridgeport was allowed to pay | | for the bridges along the Post road, d the statc the isn't expected to make same mistake twice.

Administration | Hartford, Oct. 17—Republican policies, both in the state and na- tion, were attacked last night by democratic candidates and politi- cians in Bushnell Memorial hall'at the first major- political rally held in this city for the 1930 campaign. Accusations were made that depres- sion has been caused, not by eco- nomic laws, as republicars cl®m, but by republican laws, particularly the “Grundy tariffr* Concerning state politics the speakers said that election of a democratic administration would de- liver Connecticut from ‘boss rule” and place in power a party which places the interests of personal rights above materfal rights. The speakers included: Dean Wilbur L. Cross, Thomas Hewes of Farmington, Mrs. E. Hatheway Turnbull of Greenwich, David A. Wilson, candidate for attorney gen- eal and Augustine Lonergan, candi- date for congress. PARTY UNITY PLEA MADE TO ITALIANS \Candidate Christ Asks That “Slights to Race” Be Ignored The best interests of the party as a whole must be placed above those of an ‘individual in practical politics, Senator Ernest W. Christ, candidate for reelection on the re- publican ticket, told a gathering at Sons of Italy hall last night under auspices of the Columbus Republi- can club in reply to a question ask- ed by a man in the audience who sought information as to the man- ner in which Italian republicans could best meet the charge that the republican party “slaughtered” Judge Francis Pallotti of Hartford when he sought the nomination for governor a few years ago. Senator Christ faid it was an old practice in politics to stir up dis- content by sympathizing with and consoling defeated candidates for nominations for office. The voters should look beyond personalities by studying the history of political par- ties and making an effort to learn what they stand for rather than al- lowing themselves to be led into sup- porting candidates for whom votes are sought by such claims as demo- | cratic speakers are putting forth, he | satd. Senator Christ described to the audience the pay-as-you-go policy [of the state of Connecticut adopted and carried out by the republican administrftion during the past sev- |eral years. and he also dwelt cn | Judge B. W. Alling's candidacy for | probate judge, urging that he be supported as a competent and ca- pable lawyer and judge. Representatives Thure Bengtson and William F. Lange, who are seek- ing reelection, spoke on the issues of the campaign, the former predicting that a system of caring for aged peo- ple by pension will be effected even- tually and he would favor it provid- ed a practical means for carrying it out is proposed. Representative Bengtson went into details about the taxation system in Connecticut and stressed the claim that the welfare of the public can be better assured through the services of experienced men in important offices.
