DOBENY. Till-3 PATRIOT
(Hartford Times)
Mr. Dohcny's claim. in the trial
now under way at Washington. that
he was inspired only by motives of
patriotism in undertaking to con-
struct storage tanks at Pearl harbor
in exchange for the iiai‘y's oil re-
serves. involves nothing new. Nor
is it an impressive defense. Doheny
offered the same claim before the
senate investigating committee. He
described his rcluohanco to under-
take the project and told how he
was talked into it byeoAdmlral Bob-
lhon. who represented that Japan
was getting ready to go to war with
the United States and intended to
seize the Philippines and Hawaii.
or course. the story is preposter-
ous. if one is to accept Dohcny as a
keen business man and not a mental
lightweight. It never seems to have
occurred to him to wonder why Ad-
n‘.iral Itobison should be the one to
make these representations. Appar-
ently he did not think it worth while
to consult with the secretary of war
or navy. who ought to be informed
about the prospects of war. He
might have gone to the secrbtary of
state to ascertain whether the Unit-
rd'States was on the eve of being at-
tacked and indeed would have been
warranted. in a matter involving ex-
penditures running into nine figures.

sustained. they should be drummed
out or political life. regardless of
partisan advantage.
On these two propositions I stand
pat.
But my Bridgeport critic govs on:
"To seek honesty and Justice in gov.
ernment is not enough. It also re-
quires intelligence." to which 1
heartily agree. and would add it ro-
quircs s. knowledge of the facts on
which one may use his intelligence.
The most dangerous people in the
world are those who have inn-ill-
gcnt. clover minds. but who use
their ability ignorantly or linu'lsq-ly
or venally. ‘
The sage of the Telegram must
bava forgotten the constitution
the United States. when he says lhc
duty of the senate is confined to in-
vestigating the election alone. that
the type of the man elected by a
state is a matter of concern to that
state alone.
Cites Constitution.
Article 1. section 5. Paragraph 1,
of the constitution makes each
how e of Congress the judge of "the
ol on. returns AND QUALIFICA-
TIONS" of its members.
I remember the contest against
seating Representative Roberts of
Utah. on the ground that he was a
Mormon 'and practised polygzuny.
Someone in Congress made the same
assertion the editor of the Telegram
makes. that as long as ho was legally
elected and duly certified to the Con-
gress as elected by the voters of
Utah. no other state could challenge
his right to sit in Congress. One
congressman put it this way:
“Under the constitution of the
United States this house is the solo
judge of the qualifications of mem-
bers. If a man wears a red necktie
and the majority of the members of
the house don't waste man here
with a rod necktie we have the right
to refuse his admission. No power
can contest our right to say who
shall sit here."
Of course. neither the House nor
Senate would ever dare to establish
a frivolous "qualification" for admis-
sion. but the power to preserve dc-
ceucy and dignity in national legis-
lation. outside of strict legality. was
definitely placed in the absolute
power of each house of Congress.
It is a matter of common knowl-
edge serious consideration was giv-
en. in a recent session of Congress.
to using this power to eject from the
house a member found by the courts
to be guilty of charges ooncernins
his personal character.
Shelters Another Point
The editor of the Telegram is not
accurate when he says these con-
tests, always have been and always
will be settled on a partisan basis.
"which automatically preci es a
wise, Just or intelligent decision on
the part of Senate."
He eviden forgets the malodor-
one Newber case. exactly similar
to the present lllinoll cale. When the
vote was far from being a strict
party vote. Many senators cast
their votes on the moral and ethical
issues invoked. not on party lines.
, And the Republican party learned a
reel touch when several of its candi-
dates. who ignored their rights and
duty to pan on the "qualifications"
of members 0! the donate. were de-
feated for reebotion because they
did not vote for party advantages.
nor for honest government in that
case.

There is a certain military acade-
my in the United States noted for
an iron discipline that rides pretty
hard the cadet who has violated any
of its laws.
Here. as in most schools. there is
the written law of the school and tho
unwritten law or the student. “'00 to
the one who breaks either. He not
only has to suffer the punishment
meted out by the school authorities
for lapse of discipline but he must

besides.

cion attach list-if to him and he is
shunned by the oihr‘rs.
This school turns out iron men and
fine soldiers. The uuthoritius have
probably encourugml a code. of ho-
havlor toward a culprit that puts lit.
ilo premium on law breaking. It
serves its purpose.
But why should a home be turned
into a military school? Why should
a child be kept in eternal disgrace
because it has broken disoipllnn?
Punishment! believe iii—prompt
and swift. Not retaliation. but a. re-
minder that laws cannot be broken
uith lmpunlty. It is unfair to the
child not to punish him. and to let
llllll grow up with the idea that he
run mukc his own laws to suit him-
self.
nut punishment is not persecution.
Tho punishment over. with a full up.
dcrsiandiug on the child's part of
why he has received it. let it go at
that. Parents and sisters and broth-
r~rs who keep on nagging at a boy
or girl after he has paid the price
of his fouv are making immc a place
to be. avoided and deep sod. Another
thing-in time he will be inioiurant

only injustice. ‘
A girl was sent home from college
for an offense that was serious but
not unforgivenble. After all. nothing
is uniorgiveabio but motive. Her
parents instituted a sort of inquisi-
iion that was intolerable. The girl
was actually driven from homo.
Now her mother cries and all the
neighbors shake their heads. ‘ t

December Light
Bill Higher Due
To Early Dusk
Connecticut electrical companies
like Connecticut's department stores
have their biggest job of the year in
December sue. the customers of
those companies are also likely to
have their largest electrical bill of
the year. according to the Conecticut
Committeo on Public Service Infor-
mation which states that the amount
of electric current used for lighting
purposes is greater in December
than in any other month due to the
feet that the operations of the solar
system shuts daylight oi! earlier
than in any other month and re‘d
quires a longer use of artificial light.
In December. electric lights are
turned on as early as 4 o'clock in the
afternoon whereas in the summer
months when the ‘daylight saving
system is in vogue the lighting but.
ton is not snapped on until after 8
o'clock in the evening. In other
words. the lights are used about four
hours longer in December than they
are in June. Moreover. people stay
at home more in the winter than in
the summer and this tends to produce
larger electric bills.’ The use or light
in Connecticut's numerous depart.
ment stores eadsift shops during
the two weeks preceding Christmas
also throws an extra nieht burden
on the genomting stations.
