BOOM FOR SMITH
AIDED BY LEADERS
Copeland and Pomerene
Statements Help, but Fight
in South Is Growing.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

The Al Smith boom for President
is sent merrily on its ways by former
Senator Atlee Pomerene of Ohio AMI
York. The one is from the Middle
West and the other has just returned
from the West and intermediate e
points. Both Senator Pomerene and
Senator Copeland are anti,prohibi.
tionists.
Mr.. Pomerene. writing in the North
American Review, praises Gov. Smiths 5

State He likens him to great Demo.
Gratis of the past. He predicts Gov.
Smith will be an enforcer of the pro-
hibition law, if he becomes President.
and finally he attacks those opponents
of Gov, Smith who are against the
New Yorker because he is Catholic.
The Senator from New York, after
2 swing through the West and Middle
West, predicts the delegations sent
by the Democrats in most Of the States
of those sections will favor Gov.
Smiths nomination in the Democratic
national convention.

Gov. Smith will have a majority in
the convention before we come to con-
slider the vote from the solid south. F."
At the same time that these boosts
for the Smith candidacy are put forth
by two Protestant Democrats, there
are further signs of gathering anti
Smith storm. The storm has its cen
ter in the South. but takes in some of
the border States. including West Vir'
ginia, the home of the chairman of the
Democratic national committee. Espe.
cially are the storm signals flying in
North Carolina. where it appears that
Senator Simmons, recognized political
leader of the State. is bent upon pre-.
venting the nomination of the New
York governor.
There are signs, too. that the anti
Smith forces are disturbed over the

deal with flood control In the Missis-

Speaking at a luncheon attended by
officials of the Tri-State Fair Associa
tion and the National Dairy Show and
railroad executives. Mr.. Lowden
said the time has come for the formu-
lation of cOmprehensi policy which
recognizes that the problem is COM
plex one, involving not only the pro-
lection of the lower Ia nds from over
flow but transportation, reforestation,
waterpower and soil erosion as we'll.
Urges Mixed Board.
My idea as 10 how this can best he
done is to create a mixed commission.
And such commission should not be
composed exclusively of the Engineer
Corps. Able as that body it does
not contain all the talent in the land.
Nor is engineering ability alone re-
quired. Upon that commission should
be experts in agriculture, in reforesta-
tion, in transportation and in water
power development.
The ahlest men In these several
fields, with the freshness Of the re-
cent flood disa ster upon us, could
be drafted to serve. That commits
sion would be charged with most
impressive responsibility 1t would
be it's duty TO tame the waters in
the richest portions OF the North
American Continent to. the uses OF
man."
Matter of National Scope.
The problem Of flood control is a
national problem of the first magni-
tude, Mr. Lowden said. IT is no
longer matter which concerns the
farmers OF Missouri. Mississippi. Ar.
kansas and Louisiana alone. but is
row being seei1 to be matter Of ma
tional concern.
; There are elsewhere greater and
longer rivers than the Mississippi.

257H ANNIVERSARY
 OF POLISH CHURCH
Cornerstone Laying Ceremony Quarter Century Ago Today

Today marks the anniversary Of the laying Of the cornerstone of the Sacred Heart on Broad street, the house of worship of one of the larg- est parishes of Polish Catholics in the United States. The ceremony in connection with the laying of the cornerstone in 1902. was held with the late Bishop Michael Tierncy, q former pastor of St Marys church, officiating and thousands attending, including delegations of Polish people from every point in the state. A huge parade was staged through the principal streets with societies from Worcester, Middletown, Hart ford, Terryville, Union City and New Haven in line.
 The parish of inc Sacred Heart is 33 years old. The people formerly were a part of st. Mary's parish and in 1894, they formed a parish of their own.
 Rev Lucyan BoinoWski, the pres cnt pastor, was assigned to the work Of organizing the parish and he started to work in the Northeastern section of the city. lie first elected to build q church on Orange street. It was a wooden structure Of spa cious dimensions built in 1896.
 The parish grew until it became necessary to take steps to enlarge the place for worship, Father Boj- nowski called the leading members Of his flock into conference and told them of his plans. Work was started in making the news generally known and the people of the parish 4hoWcd their usual cooperation in helping the pastor to swing the great burden lc had assumed.
 The spot where the church now stands was selected as inc most aC- c,ssible for the erection of the new building. Tho work of laying the foundation was started in the spring or 1902 and all summer long the Worl-mcn haStcued with the work. iembcr - of the same year.

 Since the erection Of the church, the parish has expanded until 1t is one of the largest in the United States. r now numbers well over coco communicants, and includes many other buildings besides the original wooden church and the new one.
 The church of the Sacred Heart Is an imposing structure in the heart Of the Polish district It is built Of marble with two prominent spires and is situated on Broad street.
 After the erection Of the church Father BojnoWsli turned his atten- chial school. This was built in 1908 on Gold street and is said to be enc of the finest parochial school buildings in the state.
 As the years passed by, Father Eojnowski further increased tho holdings of the parish. He erected an orphan asylum on Burritt street which was later replaced by moro recent structure of stone. He also built a home for the aged and thcr erected a printing plant in whicl the Polish Catholic Weekly is print ed every week.
 Besides these, Father Boinowsk las purchased from time to time hundreds of acres of land in the northwest section of the city foi farms, apple and peach orchards Tho parish also owns its own ceme- trry on Burritt street and is one 0! the most prosperous Polish par, ishos in the country.
