A Dream Come True

When Superintendent of Parks Irving w. Harrison referred to the opening of Water bury's municipal golf course on East Noun tain today as The dream of the Waterbury aolfer at last come true he spoke both truthfully and poetieally. We don remember exactly how many years ago that the idea of public golf course was preached in this city. but we are happy to recall that through these columns as much praise and encouragement for the project as could be given was freely dispensed Whether the idea for municipal course originated with one mar, or with several simultaneously, may be long disputed. but let it be said that its culfnination in the splendid links that are now available for play may be laid directly at the door of the Park Department the Park Board and other city officials.
 Nr Harrison was most modest in his statement issued last Thursday. He heaped much praise on the shoulders of others. all of whom naturally are deserving of it. But we think that Mir Harrison himself deserves great share of the credit for the success ful completion of marvellous nine-hole rovsse on what was once a wilderness tract. Tn the years to come when the course has been recognized for the sporty little one it IS we feel sure that proper credit will be given him for untiring devotion and work in making it what it is Surely some response from the general public. not merely the eolfers but those interested in landscape work such as the building of golf course involves, will be forthcoming after the municipal links are better known to all of iis.
 Waterbury has opened its public course in time when even the best of the private golf clubs are finding it difficult to make both ends meet. The financial operation of q public course is no less than that of pri- .vsse one. Due to the very nature of the East Mountain course and the admirable tex ture of the greens the city will be forced to spend considerable annually in keeping them in fit condition. A golf course must be kept up no matter whether 1t is played by ten or hundred people. We sincerely hope that the course will be well pssronized. lt <sftsiniy deserves to be.

Health For Two-to-Sixers

The Cleveland Child Health Association, a continuity fund agency. is trying some thing this summer which is new in that city. It has opened four clinics for chil- dren between two and six years old. It is explained that there is already generous provision for looking after the health cf infants through dispensaries and baby clinics. School children. too. are given medical ex- aminations and provided with lunches when they are under weight. The children be- tween infancy and school. age, however, have been neglected in such programs in many communities.
 The health clinics for the two-to six youngsters sound most attractive. Childrsn may be brought to the station and left for an entire morning or afternoon. They will be given physical examinations and any nee- essary medical care. Milk and whole wheat biscuits. supervised games and rest periods will be part of each session. The stations will be open every day except Sunday. This is welfare work which ought to mean good deal in the lives of those hitherto underpriv- ileged youngsters. When they finally enter the public schools. their health needs should be we'll known. many defects will have been taken care of. and they will be all set to get the most out of the prescribed school work.

Here, There And Everywhere

smoking, which took care of the matter nicely, but smoking Is sure ly as informal as pocketing ones hands. Portrait painters of fifty years ago, like the photographers of the same period, frequently painted their subjects in a nnpo- 1eonic pose, with one hand clasped behind and the other thrust into the bosom of the coat. But where is the difference artistically/ be- tween putting ones hand inside ones jacket and putting it care lessly into pocket?
 The painter of a hundred and fifty years ago could pose his sub- ject with one hand on his sword and the other clasping a document, but apparently the modern paint CT must show the hands of tho great man dangling aimlessly at the bottom of his sleeves, as sig nificant and characteristic as an onion hung by its stalk. But hands, in life, do not merely dangle, as a moments observation will demon state. Occasionally, as in Whist ler's portrait of his mother, they may lie resting on ones lap. but
 more often they are holding some- thing, emphasizing a word with a gesture. or are damned into the owners pockets. What they do is
 characteristic of the individual and, catching that characteristic is as important to a complete like- ness as is catching the shape of the nose or the position of the eye. A volume could easily be writ ten about the treatment various are lists have given hands, or of the in- genuous lengths they have gone to avoid the trouble of painting them. A treatise on the subject is not, however. necessary, to show how wrong Is the Massachusetts art commission in barring Governor Aliens portrait because his hands are in his pockets. As soon forbid Rembrandt's Jan Six. because 1t shows the subject pulling on his gloves as H. l.. Wolffs portrait of Governor Allen merely because his hands are thrust jauntiiy in his jeans.

New Jerseys democrat Mussolini, was field marshal of the anti Roosevelt forces.
 And a fascinating figure he was as he parked his commands, di- rected strategy, surveying his strength with an unerring eye and always realizing exactly where he stood and the desperate nature of his light.
 Ordinarily, in public, Hague Is a good-natured, affable boss. But this time, unaccustomed to the prObabil- ity of defeat at these national shows, his face was grim and set. his whole demeanor devoid of hue mor. His desperate rnid-convention assault on Roosevelt as a source of party disaster was fruitless - and i Hague left Chicago with the virtual certainty that someone else would be getting all the patronage in any Roosevelt administration.

Now, in all probability, democrat ic victory will mean that they can't get federal job for a follow CT unless they first see Jim. Another who came out on top was Ed Flynn, New York's secre- tary of state and boss of the Bronx, who worked hand in hand with Manager Jim Farley for Roosevelt through the convention. And there's Joe Guffey of Pitts- burgh, whose old political power seemed about gone until he declar- ed for Roosevelt early in the season and took a last chance of regainins his influence on the hope that Roosevelt would be nonin- afad

With congressional action upon the desig- nation of October l l as Pulaski Day favor able Polish organizations throughout the nation are starting to pay their respects to Representative Augustine Lonergan of Hart ford for the yeoman service he did in secur- ing passage of the resolution to the same effect. No doubt the congressman was moved to action by the failure of Conneeti- cut legislators to take similar action last year when requested to do so in measure introduced by Representative Lueien Maciora of New Britain. Polish societies through out Connecticut were very much ineensed when the General Assembly frowned on the movement to make October 1 l Pulaski Day with gubernatorial proclamation and use of American and Polish flags for commemor ative purposes. It mattered little to our legislators that fifteen or more states had recognized the day. Now the federal gov tionary War hero who died in the siege of Savannah. President Hoover has approved of the plan. Representative Lonergan has been asked to address the gathering at Wash ington on next October 9 in commemora- ton of General Washington and General Pulaski. Inasmuch as Poland was the first nation to issue commemorative stamp honoring Washington some reeiproeation IS demanded We wonder. though. in the midst of such plans that Pulaski's nationality is not questioned more often. As we under stand it. he was in reality of Lithuanian birth and not Polish.

The discovery of 2 colony of H-year loeusts at several points in the state need cause no needless worry on the part of farmers. Unless the loensts issue in great swarms their depttdatiohs won't cover much ground.

 Washington.-The .old-fashioned d clutch on their local and state ma chimes. but few of them managed to establish a grip oh the recent democratic convention. Some of them, in fact, looked just a little bit funny.
 The more famous oSss, fellows from the east such as usually have been able to tie up convention or dictate nominations in hte past found themselves either taking a licking from the Roosevelt leaders who t'ere not supposed to be very bright by comparison--or sit. ting with eagle eye to see which way the cat would jump and then scrambling ludicrously in g. mad dash after the band wagon.
 Boss" Hucy Long
 There were various bosses from the west and south who supported Roosevelt from the start, but they were relatively small-time czar, with no great number of delegates under their control. The boss oi thatt ype who attracted most at. tention was none other than Sena. tor Huey Long of Louisiana. Huey organized his delegation oi 20 by banging his gavel on the ros. trum and announcing: T hereby nominate myself for chairman oi the delegation. Anyone opposed to that motion will say aye" A pause and silence. "The motion is car- ried and this meeting is ad- journed.'
 Governor Alfalfa Bill Murray was another small boss. He ad- mitted hsi 22 Oklahoma delegates were hand picked by him and that he was their absolute lord and master.
 Curry's Sad Performance
 But back to the big shots of boss ism-and consider the sad per formance of the Honorable John F. Curry, chief of Tamnany Hall, hat ing Al Smith but being forced to vote his delegates for Al just the same.
 Curry, who apparently is not made of the stuff that was in Charlie Murphy and other of his predecessors, came to Chicago un- certain az to what he would do and everyone agreed that he was in 8 hot spot. Weeks before he had an- nounced in Washington that he would vote New York5s 94 dele- gates en masse under the unit rule
 He learned later that the uni, dule didn't apply to New York which meant he could dominatt only about two-thirds of the delega. ton even with his alliance upstate and his working arrangements witf John H. McCooey, the old walrus 0. Brooklyn. He would have preferred to wait for signs of a band wagon but didn't dare oppose Smith be cause Smith might wreck him 1T New York city.
 If he incurred Smiths wrath and Governor Roosevelt later removed Mayor Jimmy Walker. Curry's name would. be mud in his own organi' zation.
 Iron Hand Missing
 So he stuck grlmly to the last iol Al, quite futile and even Q pi ridiculous when the first balio came and he asked an hour-ioni poll of his own delegation. confess ing that he couldn't give the fui poll. Instead of ruling the delega ton with an iron hand. as Crokel and Murphy were won't. he couidn' even tell just how the. deiesate were going to vote.

TOO MANY LAWYERS
 (TIartford Times)

The American Bar association has issued a pamphlet in which facts are adduced in favor of it's desire to curb the number of new admissions to the bar. During the last decade the numbers in the le- gal profession have increased by one-third, which is twice the per- centage of increase of the nations population during the same period. There were at the close of 1890 a total of 160,605 lawyers in the United States.
 The present over-crowded con- dition of the bar and the huge en- rollment in the law schools are viewed with concern. Says the bulletin:
 Upon the ethics. particularly of young practitioners. greater and greater strain is being laid. and there Is the crux of the entire problem of overcrowding. The pub- lie has a vital interest in having for the men with whom 1t deals as lawyers, individuals of unimpeach- able character, well trained in the particular skills which the lawyer must use. When they abuse the privilege which a license gives to them, when they fail to live up to the ethics of their profession, when they misuse their clients money or abuse their confidence, they are not only injuring their clients and their fellow lawyers but they are also undermining public conn., dence in the institutions of our government and in an even handed justices
 The prospects for regulation of new admissions to the bar are not particularly encouraging. There are 10000 law students preparing for the legal profession. To stop them after they are graduated from schools of learning will not Do easy. Some bar examiners are doing their best to raise the stand- ards for admission. hi recent ex- animation in California. 80 per cent of the applicants failed. In Massac chusetts last February s1 per cent failed. Yet 1t is not bee
 lieved that these examinations,
 however severe, will serve as an effective screen against too great influx of numbers. Certainly 1t is difficult to make them sift out the unfit In character while letting in the fit. Too often mental aleftness | goes with unfitness Of manhood
 persistence on the part of appli-
 cants will sooner or later mean
 their admission.
 Control is advocated at the
 source, namely in regulating on.
 roilment in approved law schools, That solution is gaining support
 and may soon Do asisated In evers state of the union.

Massachusetts is quite excited these days over the portrait of former Governor Frank G. Alien, which is to hang alongside his predecessors and successors in the State House. The portrait has failed to receive the approval of the Stuart Art Commission. which in the Bay State is quite an import ant body, judging by some of the disputes in whici, it has figured of recent years. At any rate this group doesn't like the idea of governor portrayed with his hands in his poekets. It shouldn't be much of a task for the artist to remedy that unconventional attitude.
