Tribute to Grace Marie COnlOng INGREDERE IN TEMPLUM DEI

To your side of the Christmas star, To that blest bourne, wherein you
 are, Bright, sweet new-dead, on blue
 prayer wings Our love ascends! Dear tender
 things You said1gay, brave solacing
 words Return as clouds of white ghost
 birds To fill again with melody Heart-nests. with springs that used
 to be. Dear tender things you did! Swee:
 good, The crushed and broken under
 stood: Your lovely hands like lily-fowers Outstretched to soothe, in life's
 dark hours, Seemed ever to anticipate The great worlds pain and gently
 wait, And at each anguish call unfold The tears of all the world to hold. Brave sweet new dead! While with us chime The bells of blessed Christmas time, Our love is yours-w where on high blows Heavens plumy-pinioned white winged rose, Whose heart is Colour Hope our Light! Within it's feathery petals white, Your pure sweet spirit has its place. Gods sweetest benison--His Grace! At this years sweet nativity. Our gift, with memory prayers shall be Cur shining Grace-Wee Christ to bless. Surcease for our hearts emptiness: Ringed with bright wheeling an- gels fair, still clinging to His Baby-Hair May still you find wee sweet dried flowers. That bloomed in earthly meads of ours. What time He In the manager lay May still you find gold wisps of
 hay And through their mundane fra sgFance know The deathless love of ours--below May every prayer we breathe, fall
 sweet. A Eiss-through Grace on christ's

section of the bill, which declares that the
wage. worker shall have full freedom of
association. self-organization. and designa-
ton of representatives of his own choosing,
to negotiate the terms and conditions of his
employment and that he shall be free from
the interference. restraint or coercion of emf
ployers of labor. or their agents, in the des-
ignation of such representatives or in self
organization or other concerted activities for
the purpose of collective bargaining or other
mutual aid or protection. -
In short it is now declared that Labor
has the same right as Capital to organize
and bargain collectively. The two branches
of industry are made equal before the law,
with the guarantee that the rights of each
group shall be respected and upheld as long
as they are not abused. Such democratic
equality should mark new era in American
industry Labor and Capitol can meet on
mutual basis of self-respeet. Indeed the
era is already here, else the statement of
equality could not be written upon the ma
tional statute books.
Incidentally passage of the bill by both
houses of Congress and sure of approval at
the White House constitutes another feather
in the hat of Senator George w. Norris of
Nebraska. When Congress approved the
lame-duck amendment to the Constitution
recently Senator Norris ended a deeade-long
fight in its behalf. Already one state, Vir
ginia. has ratified the amendment and New
York is acting upon it this week. Now
Senator Norris is victorious again, this time
after eight years of lacking back and forth
in his effort to secure for labor its apparent
rights. Of course, the measure as it passed
the two houses is known as the Norris
Laguarda bill, but without taking one iota
of praise from the New York representa-
tive we magazine that even he would not
detraet from Senator Norris victory. Truly
this is Norris session.

Honor City Today

Although stated this week that Water
bury's members Of the democratic state cen
trail committee will not attend the meeting
in Hartford today it is hard to believe that
they would deliberately absent themselves
from a session at which undoubtedly the
groundwork for the 1882 campaign will be
started. The election of the new chair
man, viee-ehairman, and secretary today
should be Of sufficient interest to attract
every member of the committee. That one
of the new officers is to be Waterbury
man should certainly result in full attend
anee from this city if no more than to ind-
cate support of j.. Francis Smith whom
Governor Cross has singled out for the Sec
retaryship.
Opposition TO MIR Smith and Attorney
David A. Wilson of Hartford for chairman
will not be found at today's meeting, ae-
cording to reports from every section of
the state. Most of the central committee
men feel that Governor Cross in designating
the above two men to carry on the state
compaign this fall knew what he was doing,
just as he did two years ago when nomi-
mated for the office he now holds. On that
occasion the governor insisted that the state
central committee be entrusted to officials OF
his own choosing. That he chose wisely and
we'll was indicated by the returns on election
night. May we not conclude that, since his
committee heads Of two years are no longer
available for political campaigning, he Is
fully capable of replacing them.
Town Chairman Crary has been quoted
as saying that absence Of the Waterbury
committeeman from today's meeting must
not be construed as antagonsm towards the
election of Mr. Smith for secretary. We
don't see why it should be so construed.
Waterbury has been angling for recognition
from the democratic party for years. The
election of.Mr Smith may be but the be-
ginning of a series of such happenings in
which this city will be participant. How.
ever. we are wondering what other state
central committee men will say if there is
no Waterbury delegation present at Hart
ford today to witness the selection of one
of their own townsmen and member OF
the present Hayes administration. We con-
slider MIR Smiths election today distinct
honor to the city, one in which all local
democrats especially the younger generation,
should take great pride.

Theater owners of Connecticut are unit
ing to protest against the proposed tax on
amusements contained in the bill recon-
mended to Congress last Saturday by the
Ways and Means Committee. The bill
provides for ten per cent tax on the gross
receipts of theaters and only reduces the tax
exempt admission price to twenty
cents. DIR Jacob p. Fishman. president OF
the Motion Picture Theater Owners of
America. says. Il feel that the proposed ex-
emption of IS cents inadequate and that it
should be raised to higher bracket. Most
of the independent theaters in Connecticut
charge adult admissions of from IS to 40
cents and exemptions along those lines would
be satisfactory to the greater portion of in
dependent theater owners. | am hopeful that
as result of today's meeting our Represen-
tatives and Senators in Washington will
realize the hardship which will fall on us
in the event the tax is passed without the
exemption being increased so that the smaller
theater owners who are the life blood of
the motion picture industry can survive. :"
And if the thater owners are complaining
about the proposed tax bill what are other
industries which are also hard hit thinking
and saying. To date tax that doesn't
invite criticism hasn't been proposed. Where
are our smart legisators Let them dis
up something to tax that won't arouse in.

All the eastern states are recalling the
memorable blizzard of forty-four years
ago today. We suppose the tales that the
old-tmers will tell will bring mingled gasps
of astonishment and awe. AS matter of
fact the 1888 blizzard produced an actual
snowfall of something less than two feet.
but drifts were as high as twenty feet in
many sections of the East The storm
started on March | | and continued until
the morning Of March l3. BY way Of con-
trast weather recorders state that the storm
of February Al, 1920, contained greater
water content than the great blizzard
The difference was in the texture Of the
snow. However. texture or no texture, we
want no repetitions.
