A Victory
For Political Honesty...
j NDICATIONS that the once vigor-
ous dislike and distrust of anything
labeled "Socialist" is fast disappearing in many
parts of the country have again appeared with
the recent re-election of Jasper McLevy as mayor
of the industrial city of Bridgeport, Conn. Mr.
McLevy was elected along with the entire Socialist
ticket in a part of the nation where a decade ago
a Socialist mayor was almost unthinkable.
Mr. McLevy, it is true, is not a left wing Socialist
and his antipathy toward Communists is almost as
intense as that of Mr. William Randolph Hearst.
In his first term as mayor of Bridgeport, he did
not introduce any radical changes in city govern-
ment and it must be said that his honesty and
ability to keep taxes at a minimum were probably
as much a cause of his re-election as his position
in the Socialist party.
However, there is much of significance in his
election to the post for a second time. The fact

that he and the others elected are Socialists,
whether of the right or left, is plainly indicative
that the people of Bridgeport, at least, are no
longer aroused to a kind of hysterical irrational-
ism by the mere mention of the word "Socialist."
It indicates that some people are crawling out of
the narrow shell of "rugged individualism" and
the old-time party lines to back the group that
has the most to offer regardless of moss-covered
traditions. It shows also that candidates who
are Socialists in reality need no longer parade
under the skirts of Progressives or New Dealers.
Mr. McLevy, apparently, has done little in the
way of socializing the Connecticut city or up-
setting its established system, but he made a
beginning in erasing the old American phobia to-
ward Socialism and in resurrecting political hon-
esty.
A College Education
A _i £(W. 1 T __. A__ 1 r -__-

lumbia School of Journalism was quoted as saying
that "the face value of a college degree is neglig-
ible." Both of these learned gentlemen seem to
be very much in agreement with James Russell
Lowell, but it is certain that most college students
would find they have much more in common with
the ideas of former Lieutenant-Governor of Mass-
achusetts Gasper Bacon, who said, at a recent
Phi Beta Kappa convention, "Colleges are trying
to teach young men and women to think for them-
selves, to discover and assimilate knowledge and'
to apply it, to discriminate between the essential
and the non-essential in any given problem, and to
arrive at independent judgments."
None of us claims that "a scrap of paper" is
proof that a person is educated, for numerous
men and women somehow sneak through college,
fulfilling the requirements for a degree,bbut not
assimilating a college education. It is to be hoped
and expected that the largest number of students
certainly hopes that four years spent in college
will signify they have gained more than a "life-
long sweetener" of what they may accomplish in
later days.
Even a liberal education has vocational value,
and the great development in professional chools
in the last two decades has made it possible for
college to have a very definite "dollars and cents"
value.
Although it is irrefutably true that an education
as conceived by James Russell Lowell is necessary
for a completely happy and successful life, it is
even more conspicuously true that the world which
the college graduate must face is a completely
practical one, and expects more of him than a
smattering of learning to light the dark days after
college.
Humanitarianism Versus
Zoning Restrictions ..
AN INTERESTING PROBLEM in
city planning presented itself at
the public hearing before the City Council Tues-
day night. Indignant property owners gathered
to protest the proposed amendment of a zoning
ordinance designed to allow the Michigan Chil-
dren's Institute to establish a new residence in a
previously prohibited zone.
It was particularly interesting because human-
itarian motives were in conflict with a concern
for values of a more mundane sort. The amend-
ment contested was introduced at the last meeting
of the Common Council to allow "state owned
buildings, except penal and corrective institutions"
to locate in Class A residential districts. The
Children's Institute, it was planned, would take
the old Hoover home, one-time fraternity house.
Protests by home-owners that it is detrimental
to real estate values to lower restrictions are valid.
Not only will the homes in the vicinity suffer
an inevitable depreciation, but the city will face
a reduced tax income.
But, humanitarians protest, should not the in-
terests of the children be given precedence to those
material interests in real estate and city income?
It is proposed that the bondholders of the Hoo-
ver estate sell the property to the State Welfare
Commission and leave the decision of legality to
the Supreme Court of the State.
Such a settlement seems unnecessary, in view
of the limited possible interpretation of the zoning
ordinance.
A wiser solution to the problem was presented
before the Council when it was suggested that one
of the houses scheduled to be moved to make
room for the new Graduate School could be placed
near enough to the Hospital to be available for the
use of the Institute. If a suitable house can be
found for this purpose, this suggestion would be
the most satisfactory means of solving the problem.

thne Conning Tower
TO DOROTHY
When down the valley of the years I fare,
And from the glass my sands of life have run,
And all the prides and passions that I wear
No longer ride the chariots of the sun;
When I have sheathed the sword and ceased the
fight,
And doffed the mantle of my worldly lust,
And when at last I fade into the night,
And this proud flesh sinks humbly down to dust:
Then shall that bit of dust that once was I
Be richer dust, and nourish lovelier flowers
To weave rhapsodic silence to the sky,
And by their beauty hold more joyous hours
Forever to the world that once it knew -
Because it loved you, and was loved by you.
KENDALL BANNING.
Governor Hoffman of New Jersey has scarle-
tina; he fears the Red menace. He warns against
socialist and communist doctrines. "They are,"
he said, "insinuating themselves into the warp
and woof of the body politic." It seems to us that
the body politic has a lot of warp, but virtually
no woof.
Our guess is that what will make the socialists
angry is not to be called a menace, but to be
grouped with the communists. And nothing will
make a Communist so red as to be grouped with
anybody else.
By the way, the Times pays Communism a
subtle compliment. It speaks of communism and
communists. Abolishing even capital letters.
TREATIES
(With Apologies)
The tree is made by God, my sweetie,
But man it is who makes the treaty.
Treaties whose hungry claims are pressed
Against that earth where oil flows best;
Treaties that look the other way
When greedy armies seek to prey;'
Treaties that let who will prepare
Slaughter of innocents from the air;
Treaties of peace betrayed. The slain
Know that they gave their lives in vain;
Treaties my child in which you see
Why God can only make a tree!
-M.R.G.

A Washington
BYSTA NDE R
By KIRKE SIMPSON
WASHINGTON, Nov. 13. - Unless
final analysis of the scattering
off-year election results by the Roose-
velt political staff changes the pic-
ture, general "new deal" counter at-t
tack, opening the campaign of 1936,
may be delayed until next March.
That, at least, is whispered in
Washington. It is more or less con-
firmed by such reports as sift out
from time to time through White
House reporters concerning what Mr.
Roosevelt has in mind.
At least one Roosevelt political ad-
viser of exceptionally high standing
is understood to have favored open-
ing the '36 program right away. Just
what form of campaign activity he
urged, whether by the President him-
self in radio talks or through step-
ping up national committee machin-
ery toward full campaign pitch, is not
indicated. For immediate purposes,
however, the decision looks to have
been otherwise. There is no prospect
of intensified Democratic counter ac-
tion until the next session of Con-
gress is over, now vaguely timed for
late March.
* * * *
WHAT is in line with Roosevelt
"breathing spell" assurances. If
Congress is to get away at any such
early date as that next year, obvi-
ously no important new legislation
of a controversial nature could be
proposed by the White House. Budg-
etary work, the scope of which will
be held off until the last minute by
presidential policy, and routine busi-
ness, would take up all the time.
Since the President voiced his be-
lief that the time for translating the
farm program from an emergency to
a permanent national policy status
had about arrived, there has been
speculation whether this was to be
construed as a definite advance an-
nouncement of the end of the 'breath-
ing spell.' A permanent AAA bill,
thrown into the next session, with a
presidential campaign impending,
would complicate plans seriously for
a short, routine session to make way
for the primaries.
** * *
LATER White House word indicates
that Mr. Roosevelt expects to
stand in '36 on the "New Deal" record
as made. He is represented as de-
ferring his own campaign plans until
the Republican nominee has been se-
lected. His own renomination is
taken for granted. And the type of
reelection campaign he would wage,
it is asserted, would be decided large-
ly on the basis of who his opponent
was and what faction of the Republi-
can party he represented.
All of this ishighly tentative. What
the Supreme Court does about con-
stitutionality of AAA could alter it
out of recognition. If the farm act
goes down, it is to be expected, cer-
tainly, that immediate efforts to re-
write it to meet legal objections must
follow. If that is undertaken in the
next session, rewriting it as a perma-
nent rather than an emergency farm
adjustment mechanism would seem
to be the logical sequence to the
President's declaration on the eve of
corn-hog voting.

As Others See It
Missouri And Michigan: A Contrast
(From the St. Louis Post-Dispatch)
WHEN the states of the Union are listed alpha-
betically, Missouri and Michigan stand close
together, and they are not far apart when it comes
to population. On the important matter of atti-
tude toward public service personnel, as indicated
by the views of their governors, they are as far
apart as the poles.
Consider Michigan first. Its Republican Gover-
nor, Frank D. Fitzgerald, is wholeheartedly sup-
porting the development of a qualified public serv-
ice which will be secure from the periodic ravages
of the spoils system. He blames the failure of
the Michigan Legislature to enact his program
on the dissatisfaction of legislators who did not
obtain as many state jobs for their friends as they
wanted. Coming to the conclusion that good gov-
ernment and this clamor for places on the public
payroll do not go together, the governor has con-
vened a special commission to draw up civil service
legislation.
One of the matters to which the Michigan com-
mission has been asked to direct its attention is the
ability of present state employes. For Gov. Fitz-
gerald, according to his own declaration, has no
interest in perpetuating the present personnel in
office solely because those who hold the posts are
employed by the state at this time. It is his spe-
cific direction that the proposed legislation shall
provide for competitive examinations, which pres-
ent employes as well as applicants must be required
to take.
Contrast this with the attitude of Gov. Park and
his aids at Jefferson City toward governmental
personnel, as evidenced by the controversy with the
St. Louis Old Age Assistance Board over the ap-
pointment of investigators of applications for state
pension payments. The St. Louis board, supported
by the League of Women Voters and others in-
terested in the proper administration of the pen-

Yesterday is over, which is about as big a
news beat as we have had in our entire career.
But this is not Armistice Day, and we hereby'
declare war - war against the news-stands that
make walking in anything but single file past
them almost. impossible. The Mayor, now that
the anti-noise campaign has slid down the greased
ways, could eliminate these excrescences in his
stride.
Higher English from the Gothamite, published
by the University of Michigan! Club of New York:
"The speeches, cheering and singing was broad-
casted."
INDIGNATION, CAPACITY FOR
And it heartens me to think there is some-
body who still has the capacity for indigna-
tion and has not grown tired of getting angry,
like most of us weary cowards who say, dis-
couraged, "What is the use?"- The Conning
Tower, Oct. 26.
Well, Mr. Adams, I guess you are getting old
and you don't get around much any more. The
preferred and common stock of C.F.I., or Capacity
for Indignation has reached new high levels dur-
ing the past year. Ask the man who owns some.
Ask the Republican party leaders. They own
a lot of it.
With the foregoing introduction I will now
plunge into my subject. It was "Get away" day
at the Houston track. The sun was golden and
warm and I strolled around perspiring a bit with
the effort of picking a winner here and a loser
there - you know how it is - these things require
concentration - and just before the last race I
looked at what I had left and said cheerfully,
"Well, money isn't everything, after all" -and
then I plastered a ten spot "on the nose" of Lazy
Moon.
Greatly stimulated by this display of confidence,
Lazy Moon won by three lengths.
In company with fourteen or fifteen other smil-
ing gentlemen I lined up at the pay-off window
and we chatted amiably and complimented one
another on our perspicuity while waiting for the
official confirmation of the race from the judges'
stand. Then came the heartbreaking news - Lazy
Moon was disqualified for interference.
Well, Mr. Adams, you don't know nothing about
the capacity for indignation - you don't know to
what peaks, cloud caps, and stratospheres the
capacity for indignation can rise when it is really
called upon to do its stuff.
So when I read your aenemic comment on the
falling off of business in C.F.I. I thought "well,
the least I could do is set him straight and tell
him what's really going on in the world."

THEF.STAG E

"TWELFTH NIGHT"
By DOROTHY S. GIES
The opening last night of Play Pro-
duction's Twelfth Night testified once
again to the perennial youth of
Shakespeare and the timelessness of
his comedy that still rocks audiences
after 350 years. Although the vet-
eran core of its last year's staff is now
New Yorking and the majority of
names billed are comparative new-
comers, the group frolicked through a
truly artistic performance that de-
serves unstinted praise.
The choice of play was a wise one,
and the swift-shifting scenes and
kaleidoscopic action make a compact
and thoroughly entertaining drama.
Laurels go to Valentine B. Windt, for

Charlie Harrell outmalvolios the
excellent performance of Tom Pow-
ers of the Cowl production, and makes
of the enigmatic and much-debated
steward not only a caricature but also
a piece of pungent and unforgettable
comedy. He is easily top actor in
a cast that numbers several out-
standing characterizations.
Carl Nelson, as Sir Toby Belch,
shows a fine grasp of the sublimely
burlesque, and Grace Bartling in-
vests her role of Maria with a vigor
and sprightliness. Their companions
in tomfoolery, Karl Nelson, the flut-
tering pink-ribboned Aguecheek, and
Henry Austin, the delightful jester,
Feste, are both keenly conceived and
finished performances. With a fresh-
