Crime on Increase

DUT the collapse of prosperity
I'D does not complete the record
of this country's decline under Re-
publican rule. Crime has gone
hand in hand with unemployment
Indeed, crime was on the increase
before the depression began, and
every one knows the reason.
Volsteadism was as much of a
Republican doctrine during this I'M
happy decade as splendid isola-
ton"
Since 1921, we have gone through
one of the worst periods of racket
eering in modern history. Neither
was racketeering confined to liquor.
If Democrats hadn't forced a Re-
publican administration to act,
racketeerS would have gotten away
with a large part of the countrys
oil reserve.
i Take it from any angle you like
international standing, domestic
trade, law enforcement, or general
living conditions-and the United
States has taken a grand slide down
hill under twelve years of Repub-
lcan control.

MAKING due allowance for the
WI slight depression W h i { h
occurred in 1921, the United States
occupied first place among the ma
lions. Her people were at work, her
farmers bad markets, her factories
were busy and her foreign trade
was large.
A beWildered civilization looked
to her statesmen, financiers, and
captains of industry for guidance.
Now turn over the pages of history
until you come to 1882 and see how
the picture changes. Nearly forced
off the gold standard, according to
President Hoover, afflicted with de-
preston because of what other ma
tions did, though most of them APP
pear to be getting along all right,
with income and production down
by SO per cent, and unable to
balance the budget in spite of great
ly increased taxes.
So Why Fear a Change?

l. in 1921, when the Republican
party took charge, and as they are
today, what great nation has failed
to make better progress than the
United States?
This country is not as well off as
it was eleven years ago by a wide
margin but is that true of France,
Germany, England or even Russia?
Regardless of depression, paper
money, or abandonment of the gold
standard, other countries have been
able to improve conditions. Each
and every one of them is in bet
ter shape than it was in 1921.
Each and every one of them has
shown an ability to recoup, while
this government has shown lack of
ability to hold its own.
The only way the Republican
party can clear itself of responsible
ity for such a depressing contrast is
by claiming that governmental
policy has little or no effect on
business conditions in this country,
and If that is true, why fear a
change?

The Need of More
Intelligent Dogs
Their Presence Would
Keep Providers Away
From the Home

If there were more reliable
house dogs and fewer stray ours,
providers would find It difficult to
enter homes at night without be-
ing detected and forced to beat O
hasty retreat. In the good old days
when dogs kept an eye on their
masters home robberies such as
have been reported in Waterbury
recently were of rare occurrence.
It Is not necessary that a dog
should be one of these savage
brutes or vicious ours whose con-
duct has got well behaved CANNES

trained to remain about the house
and make a racket In case

family was alseep.
When a man can go through q
house in the night time, take things
that strike his fancy and leave
without being heard, 1t Is pretty
good proof that no home ID SAFE

Of this sort. Such thing would be
impossible with a small dog on

1t isn't always the difficult plays

Der of the National Contract Chal-

played tournament bridge only a
few years, but to-day ranks az one
Of the great players of the coun-
try.
The Kidding
Mr. Karn sat South and opened
the contracting with one club.
He and his partner, Mr. Jacoby,
were using the one over one bid.
Mr. Jacoby in the North now bid
one diamond. This one over one
bid requires partner to keep the
bidding open at least once. East
passed and Mr. Karn in the South
now bid one no trump. Mr. Jacoby
went to two no trump and Mr.
Karn, who Is a strong believer In
the fact that in tournament play
a favorable opening, a squeeze
play or an end play may produce
that extra trick needed for game,
went to three no trump.
The Play
West had the opening lead and
led the seven of spades, his fourth
best spade The trick was won
in dummy with the king. Mr. Karn
could count only seven tricks IL
the clubs break. Nine tricks might
be made II both aces lay right. At

Zeke was right. Just about The time that
this bitter fact wac fully daWning on him,
he observed that he had inadvertently
set FIRE to some clothing and that the
Webster residence would soon be thing
of the past unless some one did some
thing in a hurry. His alert father sub
dued Daniel and the confiagration stimuli
taneously.
Young Webster was the only one of
this group who had regular education.
He was sent to Exeter and later to Dart
mouth, becoming famous at both of these
institutions as an orator. After complet-
ing his education, he set out on horse
back for Maine where he began, at 10,
to teach school.
So five boys became five great leaders
in the development of Nation. Their
boyhoods are interesting if for that rea-
son only. They were just boys-no diff
ferent from the average boy of today.
They were not super beings who realized
from the moment their existence began
that they were destined to live in history
and who governed themselves according
ly. Rather were they simply young mas
culine humanity-vibrant with life and
avid for taste of it.
| JOWEVER, there is one fact that
stands out in each instance. They
all developed an interest, an enthusiasm,
which either led directly to the positions
which they later came to occupy or
showed their energetic adjustment to life
