The BOOMING Of TIE Booms.

! y good many years ago the late Eu-
gene Field. who viewed the great
4: American game of politics with a
/ quizzical. albeit kindly humor. wrote
of presidential aspirations which were
destined never TO be realized:
l am booming. brother, booming;
See the tempest toss my plume;
See the friends about me grooming,
Grooming lovingly my boom.
In this year of the great quadren
, NAL contest, the booming of the
; booms fills the land with hullabaloo
that is heard from Maine to Califor-
MIA and from the British Dominion S
border to the gulf and the Rio
Grande. Around legion of candi-
dates friends are gathered. grooming
lovingly their booms.' and dreams are
dreamed more ravishing than those Of
Odysseus' lotus eaters.
To some, like Mr.. Bryan. the SEN
sation is not new, but never will il
lose its charm. For others. tasting
for the first time the nectar sweet, the
flowers are blooming and the birds
are singing, despite the ice and chill
of January. They are transported on
purple clouds to immeasurahle heights
of splendor. All days to them are
summer days, and life flows on with
soothing number. Tomorrow 2
Why, tomorrow they may be them
selves with Yesterdays sewn thou
sand years.
So On with the dance, and let joy
be uneonfned. The piper's price is
not an excessive one. and the candi-
dates are not the only ones who are
getting entertainment out of it. The
American people have a happy way of
not taking their politics too seriously.
Always they are ready to be amused,
and in this pre-eonyention campaign
now raging round about us amuse-
ment is to be had to satisfy the most
exactlng tastes.
What eorking good time such a
lot of men are having, without any
serious consequences to the public
veal! To be mentioned as presi-
Dental possibility is one Of the in
alienable rights guaranteed American
citizens. They have before them yet
lorg months in which to drain the
cup of joy. And then, when it ends
in what most presidential booms be-
gin and end in, may they find con-
ISOLATION in the philosophy of the an
cient Omar:

Women at the Conventions.

There will he women among the
delegates both at Chicago and at San
Francisco. The number is. of course,
tui a guess. But safe guess is that
The number will not be inconsider-
able. In many states discussion is
showing favorable leaning toward
jhe suggestion that men divide with
Mqmen now this feature OF political
Work.
1t is recognized fact that in every
state are to be found women capable
of performing this work well. They
have been students of politics for
years. In some of the states they
have been voters for years. They
have had part in many forms of pc
ltical activity Why. then, it is
asked, should they not be assigned to
duties for which they possess every
qualifications
Take. then. their work in conven-
ton. Why should they not be among
the speakers' What mans candidacy
FOR either first or second place on his
party's national ticket would not be
helped by the nominating speech OF an
Eloquent woman Or is the seeonder
VI nomination woman should be
success.
Would not woman preside well
over a convention at some stage OF the
proceedings not turbulent, Many
women have successfully welded the
gavel at public meetings.
Committee service is in womans
line. She should easily grasp the dis
putes over contested delegations, and
bear a hand in the building of plat
form.
These are new times, and this years
conventions will show new features
TO meet the times. Hence We shall
probably see both Chicago and San
Francisco crowded in June, with Wis
itors not filled solely with curiosity,
iqt with a serious desire as well to
observe the new order of things in
artion--to observe men and women,
equal now in political opportunity
aud obligation, busy side by side with
tasks that touch the topmost inter
ests of our national life.
There have been national conven-
tfpns where records were made for
excitement, for eloquence, and for
igfuenee on the country's destiny.
But not one of them met under cir
fumstanees more promising for all
those things than the circumstances
tlfat now exist, and that will surround
the two conventions scheduled for this
wear. Restlessness is universal. Our
il situations are under a great strain
the greatest IN over half century.
THAT we shall come through all right
IS not widely doubted, but that the
utmost care must be taken in all that
Is done is widely believed.

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

Wayside Blooming.
The jonquil and the daffodil
Withhold their golden smile.
But we shall greet their joyous thrill
In just little while.
And in the meantime, as we gaze
On winters mood malign,
We may behold from forty ways
The little yellow sign.
1t always brings a thought of cheer
Unto its chosen spot.
1t says, "Car Stop in words so clear.
Yet oft the car does not.
The zone Way" signal Boreas spurns
With sarcastic whine.
He nips with frost and ovcrturns
The little yellow sign.
No stalk that grows meath April
skies,
Amid the rainbow shown,
Brings radiance to our mortal eyes
More welcome than this flow'r.
Though nurtured in a hardware store
And rigid in each line,
We learn to love you more and more,
Oh, little yellow sign.

TEACHERS SUNDAY

Sunday, June 27th, has been set aside by the Governor in a proclama- tion as Teachers Sunday. This is made necessary because of the great shortage of teachers throughout the state and the small number of young men and women who are entering the normal schools to prepare them selves as teachers. Following is the Governors proclamation:
 ''Whereas the perpetuity of our free institutions and of our repre- sentative government rests upon an enlightened public conscience and an intelligent body-politic; whereas the maintenance of our : public school system has, hitherto been of inestimable value to this Commonw c h n g the youth the English language, the principles of democracy, and the arts of peace; whereas, at the present time, the supply of trained teachers n this state is made quate for securing the best re- suits in our schools; and whereas only few of Connecticut's young men and women are entering our normal schools to prepare for teaching in the immediate future:
 Now, Therefore, l, Marcus H. Holcomb, Governor of the State of Connecticut, do hereby set apart Sunday, June 27. 1920, as Teachers Sunday, and I recom- mend that the clergy throughout the state take that occasion to call the attention of their con gregations to the educational situ- ation in this Commonwealth to em- phasize the necessity of civic, mental and moral training for the youth in democracy, and to ask for a generous support of our public schools, so that every child in the state can have an opportun- ity to attend a school in charge of a competent teacher, and so that school service may be made so attractive that more young men and women of good native ability may enter our normal schools to prepare for the teaching profes- sion."
 Given under my hand and the seal of the State this eleventh day of June, 1920.
 M. H. Holcomb.
 The lack of teachers in publi schools can be traced to no othe source than to the low wages paid Since the war and resulting heav, demand for men and women il every branch of business; wage
