Thomas Kelly

It seems only few days ago that we were commenting upon the passing of time hon. cred institution in Waterbury - Kellys Bakery. Today we mourn for the man who created it, Thomas Kelly. His death today ends cafeer that any man might envy. It could well serve as a model to the youth of today who complains of the lack of oppor- tunity. Tom" Kelly showed what man can do if he is willing to buckle down to hard work, if he has the courage to carry on when being buffeted by life's adversities. That he prospered is indication of the true caliber of the man.
 Tom" Kelly was more than successful business man of Waterbury. He was inter- ested in the city and took keen interest in participating in its civic affairs. He was in- tensely devoted to his family. He was good churchman. He was above all sincere in his dealings with his fellow man. The vast amount of charity that he dispensed in Water bury will never be known, for Mir Kelly was an unostentatious man and summed such pub licity. Of recent years his presence on our streets was missed and many inquired for him. In years gone by it was nothing to find him in any of numerous bakeries throughout the city.
 Poor health and the toll of many years of hard work may have grizzled his head, slackened his step. dimmed his eye but they did not kill the flame that burned strong within his heart the flame that dwells within the breast of every honest man who can look his. Creator in the face and smile with the knowledge of an earthly job well done. The death of his son few short years ago was naturally a great shock to him. coming as it did when he might expect the cares and worries of his business affairs to be borne by younger shoulders than his.
 Yet through his days of sorrow Tom Kelly continued to gaze with kindly eyes up- on this world His illness this past winter occasioned many expressions of regard for his recovery. such as man of his type is bound to evoke insthat hour. His death today will bring tear to the eyes of those who knew him and his acquaintanceship was wide Kelly the baker is gone.-. May his spirit abide with God for evermore as his memory will with us.

The New Judge

In naming P: B. O'Sullivan to the newly created superior court judgeship last week various motives probably actuatcd Governor Gross It is not for us to defend the governor against the many criticisms that are now be- ihg heaped upon him for naming the state chairman of the democratic party and his own campaign manager in the gubernatoral cleo ton of I93O What should concern the people of Connecticut is the ability of Mir CSullivan to assume his place on the super for court bench That can hardly be ques- toned. His standing in the legal profession is of the highest. He will be a worthy addl- ton to the bench. we feel sure.
 There is precedent in his advancement to the superior court bench. In 1926 Edward M Yeomans became judge of the superior court Previous to that he had been state chairman of the democratic party. It IS tairly obvious that the governor did not trans gress the bounds of good taste In following the example of his republican predecessor, Governor Trumbull Outstanding among the possibilities mentioned for the judgeshp when it was fairly certain that the Legislature would create an additional one and approve dem ocratic selection were the governor choice, Mir OSullivan his secretary Kenneth Wynne and State Senator Frank Bergin, oddly enough all three of New Haven.
 Had the governor appointed Mir Wynne to the position again precedent would have supported him, for it is me-honored tra- diton in Connecticut that the office of ex- ccutve secretary of the governor is the step ping stone to the superior court. Had the governor named Senator Bergin he would have subscribed to sentiment in the Legisa- ture where both democratic and republican members were supporting the popular minor ity leader It is not for us to say what motivated Governor Cross 10 pick MT OSul- lfvan in preference to Senator Bergin. Why dwell at length upon subject that will only cause hard feelings' It is enough to know that any one of the three would have eapably satisfied.
 The governor is now faced by the task Of reorqaniZing the state central committee. Ills chairman and secretary are both named to offices the former. of course to the Judgeshlp. and Joe Tone to the important position of state labor commissioner. We hardly think that such successful combination as they proved to be last fall in securing demo- cratic victory in the state would be broken up if the governor did not feel that their special qualifications entitled them to advance ment Ascribe any motives you desire, but it must be admitted that the new judge meets the requirements.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-05-18

Legislature or have such strong minority in the House that favorable report by any old age pension commission will pass with flying colors and the state will find itself committed to costly experiment.
 Two years ago a stronger republican Legs lature than the present defeated the democratic request for a commission to study old age pensions. Minority Leader Citron brought this out in his comment upon the bill pre- sented last week. If no commission was needed two years ago why the sudden desire of the republican party to create one! And since the Legislature had killed the Cheney commissions exhaustive study of state pen sions with their contributory features. not to mention unemployment insurance and the like, there was something odd about this last minute solicitude.
 As to the merits of old age pensions there can be no question. In this modern age the worker of 65 finds little place in our busting scheme of things. Almshouses are poor sub- stitute for what the old age pension would provide. In this day of changing social eus- toms the state must play leading part It becomes the duty of the state to interest itself in the welfare of the aged and the de- pendent In the past it has used the aims house or the poorhouse for such purposes. The time has probably come, though, when they must be scrapped for system in which the independence and self respect of the pen sioner is not destroyed.
 Many legislators brought out the enormous cost of such an undertaking. New York state is cited as an example. That's quite true Governor Roosevelt has already pointed out th,t tho ctato will not ho ahlp to meet the demands in the first year of its old age pension fund He advises contributory feature Howell Cheney and his associates did the same with regard to pensions for state employees Study is needed not of the theories of old age pensions, but of actual working experiments, such as New York has. Massachusetts is com mitted to a similar policy. Connecticut should not fall too far behind.

Back to Romance

The public IS beginning to get weary of hard boiled stuff and is showing more interest in romantic and biographical subjects, according to Will Hays, so-called 'czar' Of the moving picture industry. If so. this IS a welcome change. It seems inherently prob- able. since there is something lneurably TO- mantle in human nature. The great motives of love and achievement and struggle against difficulties have always held the human imag- ination spellbound The World war was succeeded by period of cynicism, when peo- pie seemed to enjoy revelations of the mean and crooked sides of human nature. Many of them took pleasure in the idea that ''Everybody's doing it. as applied to this or that wrong conduct.
 But there is in human nature an ineurable aspiration for higher forms of life. People like to read stories of men who have risen, of boys who have worked their way up from nothing to high eminence of girls who have come out of humble surroundings to high position Something in such stories gives people courage. It gives them the feeling that they, too, could do something more than they had done, could rise above the humdrum and commonplace. Somehow stories and pictures of that kind trace rainbow edge of hope along the drab surface of every day prosaic life.
 The great novel writers of the past appealed to this love of romance. They were not so much interested to show up the mean and sordid sides of human nature as to tell stories of heroic and noble action that aroused the admiration of their readers. Probably the world is getting ready for new revival of romance. The sordid side of life has been fulsomely presented for the past de- cade. It is time for wholesome change of thought which shall blow the fogs of doubt and despair out of peoples minds like fresh cool wind from the skies.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-05-18

In commenting upon the sale of the Litchfeld county jail last week We deliberately refrained from mentioning one important point in connection with it. An appropria- tion of S2OO,00O was voted by the county legislators. This money will be obtained by borrowing on short term notes. These will be retired at the rate of $4O.OOO year. this money coming annually from the county tax. Of course that's perfectly legal and above board, but it strikes us as rather funny that counties can do what the state hesitates to do. Connecticut refuses to abandon the pay as-you-go policy, although it permits eoun- ties, cities, towns and boroughs to issue bonds or short term notes. Certainly this is far from consistent attitude Yet the very legislators who vote down bonds for state improvements are the first to vote for them where the coun- ties or cities are concerned. Whats behind it all?

THE POPE ON WEALTH


 Whatever the Pope says is heard with respect by large number, bui when, In such times as now prevail he discusses economic matters, hi. audience virtually embraces ths world. His utterance has import ance less because of the views ex, pressed than because of the influ ence behind them. What he say, with regard to wealth and to wage has been said many times before, but his declaration carries a weigh which the statements of few lay men could have. The summary 0 the encyclical soon to be nssued has significance not be underesti- mated.
 .Of great interest is the reiterated statement of the Pope that wealth has in recent years become concen. trated in too few hands for the good of the world. His concern over the negotiable distribution of mate rial goods is unmistakable. The immediate remedy he recommends is one which accords with the pre- vailing economic thought of the time. the payment of wages suffi- ciently large to enable the mass of people to share the privileges of the few. While the economist views such an adjustment as good bus iness, in that 1t looks to the main tenance of consumption, the Pope views it as matter of simple jus tice.
 While the Pope speaks of the ab- solute necessity of reconstructing the whole economic system "by bringing it back to the requirements of social justice." he by no means gives his sanction to revolutionary adjustment. Of communism, he speaks in the severest terms, while even socialism remains anathema. As in the past, he remains a cham pion of conservatism; yet his insist ence upon order in no wise dimin- ishes the effect of his plea for re- adjustments. To the growing insist ance of conservatives everywhere for regeneration of the economic system in the interest of greater stability and greater justice the Pope has now added his powerful voice. It Is not t.a least significan;

TODAY IS THEA' ANNIVERSARY s sghKA,
CALL TO ARMS.

On May IS, 1917. President Will son issued a proclamation of the conscription law creating a national army of the United States.
 The document explained in detail the machinery of conscription and the procedure by which it would be carried out. He said in the proc- lamation:
 "The whole nation must be 2 team, in which each man shall play the part for which he is best fitted To this end, congress has provided that the nation shall be organized for war by selection; that each man shall be classified for service in tho place to which it shall best serve the general good to call him.
 "The significance of this cannot be overstated. It is a new thing in our history and g. landmark in our progress. It is a new manner of accepting and vitalizing our duty to give ourselves with thoughtful devotion to the common purpose of tion of the unwilling; 1t is, rather a selection from a nation which has us all. It is in no sense a conscrip- volunteered in mass"
