Now that tbc New York unemployment situation has been helped by the Block Aid'' scheme in which stamps are sold anti prohibitionists are seizing upon the idea with avidity. It is their intention to sell stickers with appropriate slogans to all those inter- ested in securing election of wet" eandi- dates to Congress this fall. The stickers will be sold for one cent apiece and all pro- eceds will go into the campaign fund. Head- quarters have been established in New York city with Clarence H. Low, retired rubber merchant the generalissimo. There will be no expense contracted by the organiza- ton. save that of printing and mailing No salaries are 10 be paid all services being donated gratis. If couple of thousand stamp collectors should get interested in this private issue it surely would be financial success. And even so the motive is a wor- thy one.

Come up from the damp of the valley lands For here the winters done" Whistles the high hole ont of the grove Ills sumnoning loud and clear: Chilly II may be down your way, But the high south field has cheer.

Time To Get Together

The overthrow of the democratic forces of Warden Frank Green of Naugatuek by former Warden, Harris Whlttemore, Jr, should serve notice on the democratic party of the state that it actually has to light to hold the ground it has won in this state or 10 advance any further into republican strongholds. We should not lose sight of the fact that Connecticut IS normally re- publican state. True. we are living in sub normal times, but if the democratic party fails to take advantage of the opportunities at head we are afraid it is doomed 10 dlsap- bointment at the November ballotng.
 We don't believe that Naugatucks cleo ton of yesterday is any criterion of what will happen this fall We are optimistic enough to believe that the democratic party will carry Connecticut more glorousy than ii did in 1850. Still we have not lost sight ! of the fact that l930 was, what the poIlti- clans refer to as an off-year. Strange things happen in oif-years But when the national election IS over. 1t IS too often found that the successful candidate has swept many of his party into office. On the strength of his record in tbe White House President
 
 but stranger things have happened.
 The democratic party is faced with task that is not as difficult as some it has faced. First off it has gubernatorial candidate now in office and quite capable of succeed ing himself If Governor Cross is given the leeway he had in 1850 there is no reason in the world why he shouldn't carry the en- tire democratic ticket into office this fall. But if he is 10 be hedsed around and bad sered by cries of old guard and new guard" which to date he has wisely avoided mentioning. then the outlook for democratic svcccss may change. As far as Governor Gross and the state organization IS con ecrned, there is but one guard and that neither new nor "old''.
 The new secretary of the state central committee pointed out this fact some weeks back in his maiden address 10 state leaders. Ii: declared that he recognized in the demo- cratic party no one particular faction. but regarded all alike and equal I hat IS the proper attitude for any sane man intent upon putting his party in power 10 adopt. We trust that there arc as many more of the same mind who enjoy the same belief and who will do all thcy~ean 10 put it in power. Election isn't going to be d bed of roses for either the democrats or republicans in Con necticut It is going 10 be long hard pull with the party that puts its shoulders side by side in the traces the ultimate victor. There should be no time like the coming state convention to decide 10 get together.

Some Sound Advice

When it came time for Governor Wilbur l.. Cross to address the annual governors conference in Richmond. Va. last week he touched upon subject that seemed to be the keynote of the entire gathering namely. government needs to be thoroughly over hauled to rid it of unWieldy and expensive branches If we recall correctly Governor Q. Max Gardner of North Carolina related that his state had eliminated heavy county expenses by placing the county highways under state supervision Our governor pad more attention 10 the duplication of effort with consequent heavy expense of our numerous political sub b-divisons,
 For example, he stated that Tt should be remembered that reduction in the cost oi government does not have 10 come out oi curtaiIed public functions. We all know that government need not cost SO much. In New England and elsewhere there exists a network of counties, cites. towns, bor- oughs. school districts assessment districts, which is productive of confusion. dssipaed responsibility, waste and extravaganza. By simplifying the mechanism, we could have all our present government services and still reduce the tax burden. had we the courage and the will to attack effectively the prob lcn,s of political organization. budget mak- ing, and control of public spending without reference 10 ,hc imaginary interests of any political party.
 That is sound advice for any state or for any town or city in this nation. It strikes home at all of us Unfortunately we are 50 bound round by political ramifieatlons that we are unable to pursue tbe course that Governor Gross points out as the right one We'd like 10 see just what reforms in gov ernment he would make right here in this state If he had democratic Legislature be- hind him. Would such body support him as majority as it did when but minority We know many republicans who have nodded approval of the governors counsel along the lines of government revision However. they were in no position to guide those responsible for legislative actions. Per l,aps next year will be Cross's year.

Incidentally the Crusaders, national or ganization opposed to prohibition. issued pertinent statement recently in which it was said that Surely it will give the govern ment clerks thrill 10 know they are work ing overtime without pay so the merry pro- hibition farce may continue its run. It seems pity the proposed salary cuts have to be made to save sufficient amount to carry on the sacred work of prohibition enforcement The operating costs of the coast guard. border patrol, customs inspec- ton, extra judges extra attorneys. food and lodging for liquor law violatiors is estimated at $50,000.000. This is very close 10 the amount Congress hopes to save by slashing the wages of government employees. .'

not necessary to set aside a particular period of the year for the stressing of these traits in the life of a boy. Week after week. month after month. the normal boy has the privi- lege and opportunity of engaging in many of the activities that make up the program for Boys Week. This week will be no different from any that preeede or follow it unless it affords an opportunity for the boy to establish a closer relationship with the adults of the community in way that will serve as an inspiration to both in the weeks to come.
 Boys are essentially the same as they were generation ago: They like the men who like them; they respond to the men who demonstrate an active interest in their welfare. Many of the great men of today are frank in acknowledging that large share of their success has been due to the friendly interest of some man during some period of their early development
 Every boy should be encouraged to par tieipate in the activities of Boys Week, but the men of the community will overlook an opportunity to do vast amount of good if they do not supplement the regu- lar program with an increased personal in- terest in the boys with whom they come in contact. There should not be single boy in this community next week whose life has not been enriched by more inti- mate contact with men and their world

Canadian Coal

One of the curious things contemplated by Congress in it's frenzed quest for revenue. is new broadside of tariff rates, and per haps the most curious of the proposed rates is the one on soft coal. A little further con sideration will probably show the unwis- dom of such step. as regards the national welfare and the welfare of the coal industry itself
 A prohibitive rate of S2 ton is said to be aimed at Canada from which most of our imported coal comes. It appears, how ever. that our soft soal imports for the last recorded year. l930. were only 24l .000 tons whereas our own production was 630,000,000 tons. It also appears that of the l6.000,000 tons we exported, 85 per cent went to Canada. We sold Canada about 56 tons for every ton she sold us.
 Now, Canada is sensitive and quick in tariff retaliation. as American manufacturers have learned to their sorrow. To risk the loss of foreign market for 56 tons of coal in order to keep out one ton certainly does not look like good sense. Besides, every time we do thing like this to Canada she elaps on higher tariff rates on general principles. to pull our industrial capital over tbc border
