Our Count Is Different

When the new issue of regular postage
stamps comes off the presses next year. the
public will find an entirely new set of char
acters depicted. Of course there will be a
few repeats as we have honored at various
times most of our dead Presidents. But an
announcement from the PoStoffice Depart
ment at Washington is to the effect that the
new postage issue will honor all of our dead
presidents. lnasmueh as President RooSe-
welt is our thirty-second president, we pre-
sumo that only thirty presidents will be
honored, as Herbert Hoover is still living
and living persons don't get their pictures on
Uncle Sans stamps if he can help it,
But if we count up our list of dead pres
idents very carefully we will learn that there
actually are only twenty-nine. This is due
to the fact that Grover Cleveland served two
terms with Harrson's intervening. Conse-
quently he ranks as both the twenty second
and twenty-fourth presidents of the United
States. Still the New York Sun press bureau
at Washington, which some months ago
chronicled the fact that we were to have
new regular issue of postage stamps claims
that thirty deceased presidents will be hon.
ored. Well have to look into that.
The models for the new stamps are now
being prepared at the Bureau of Printing and
Engraving. They would be all ready now
and perhaps the stamps issued were it not for
the fact that the bureau has been overworked
trying to prapare stamps for the internal
Revenue Department. Legalization of the sale
of beer and the anticipation of prohibitions
repeal have made it necessary to prepare and
print an unusually large number of stamps
for the Internal Revenue Department and as
a result the regular postage issue was showed
into the background. 1t now occupies the
attention of all concerned from President
Roosevelt down to the lowliest employe in
the Postoffice department.
On our present issue we have but seven
teen deceased presidents portraits. We have
IS stamps in this issue of various denomi-
nations. Then there are five air mails.
three special deliveries, and three special
landings. There has never been stamp
to honor Calvin Coolidge and we might dis
cover that few other deceased presidents had
been overlooked. With the advice and con-
sent of President Roosevelt, an ardent phila-
telist, Postmaster General Farley is going to
see to it that every past president, now dead
(Hoover is the sole living ex-president right
now. is honored by stamp of some de-
nomination.

Multiplication OF Gold

1t is pretty well accepted that in recent
times long depressions have been ended by
new gold discoveries, and prolonged pros
perity periods have been accompanied by in
creased gold production. If this theory is
true, some economists say. revaluation of
the gold dollar, making existing supplies of
gold go farther as money will have the
same boom effect as an actual increase in gold
production. To an amateur it looks plaus-
ible. With devaluation, the existing metal
will be divisible into more gold dollars
which hard dollars will be represented in
circulation by multiplied paper dollars bank
checks and other substitutes for specie.
1t may be, too, that higher prices for gold
will bring into public treasury vaults large
amount of commercial gold. People may sell
gold plate and jewelry. There might be a
considerable addition from spectacle frames
and gold teeth. There are people today
who sell their gold filings for cash. And
by the way, what happens ordinarily to the
gold in extracted teeth' The patient hardly
ever thinks to ask about it. Is there genteel
racket there?

There is not so much hiking for pleasure
in the United States as in some Old World
Countries, although it is on the increase in
the states. There have been hiking and sport
clubs organized to take advantage of the
many miles of splendid trails that outdoo:
clubs built or sponsoued through our state
parks and forests and also across private land.
That is all the stronger reason for doing
something about the situation by providing
safe and convenient places to walk parallel
with the roads, which today are notably the
shortest distance between two places of habi-
tation and business

One of the most eommendable relief plans
for the coming winter is the establishment
of shelter camps for the transient unem-
ployed. The government expects to pro-
vide 200 to 800 of these. with five or six
in every state and at least one in every
metropolitan community.
Railroad police. municipal officers and
local relief authorities will refer needy tran
sients to the camps. but there will be no
sompulsion. There the homeless can get
food. shelter. and perhaps clothing. Thus
necessary work of mercy will be done, and
local charities and householders overwhelmed
with demands for relief will themselves OBJ
tain some relief.
This is a new field for federal action, but
m inevitable one. Abnormal methods
have to be used for abnormal situations.
When local resources fail, the government
with Its larger credit has to step in. As
prosperity revives. it will be expected to
retire from the field.
1t is to be hoped that these refugees will
not be dubbed hobo camps. Many shift
less wanderers. who would be homeless in
better times. may take advantage of them;
but there will be also thousands of honest
seekers for work who are homeless through
no fault of their own. This winter, the
dark before the dawn. will be good time
to treat every wanderer kindly and give him
The benefit of the doubt.

Dry statce will not be obliged to read the

which prevents the use of the mails to send
any advertising of Intoxicating liquors into

will, too, since number of large importers
and liquor dealers are beginning to drum up
business through newspaper advertising.
However, we expect that very shortly the
federal government will end all confusion
about the end of prohibition by issuing some
very definite statements. That should be
forthcoming about December when the last

the 18th amendment is automatically re-

lead the battle in defense of silver when Con-

President Roosevelt allowing the government
to buy gold and set its price per fine ounce
the silver advocates feel that it will be nee
essary to come to the defense of one of the
natural resources of their states. To re-
establish the silver standard will, of course,
necessitate winning the support of both
houses of Congress. And this is mighty
task even with the democrats we'll in control

Uncle Sam Approves Them

Nothing has given the editors of the
Waterbury Democrat more satisfaction of re-
cent days than the announcement that the
federal public works administration is going
to include in its roadside improvement pro-
gram walks for pedestrians along highways.
Of course. they will be built only where
practicable. 1t isn't physically possible to
build such paths along every road in the
United States. But the work will be done
on a national scale and it is this feature which
pleases us.
1t is some years now since the Democrat
first advocated the construction of paths
along our state roads. We venture to say
that Martin Scully. City Editor of the Wa
terbury Democrat. was the first to breach
this improvement. Others who have been
great boosters of the scheme are Coroner
John j. Phelan of Bridgeport. Findings
that he issues from time to time have given
him ample opportunity to point out the fact
that the presence of walks along highways
would have saved many pedestrians life.
The desirability of such walks or paths
seems 50 obvious to many persons that they
have wondered why roads are ever planned
without them. AS long as residences. farms.
villages schools. and churches are strung
along main highways between big cities It
will be necessary occasionally for pedestrians
to traverse the same routes. There were
footpaths often in the horse-and-buggy days,
but when roads were widened and paved TOR

:The solution of the small home owners
problem is at hand. We refer to his long
ing for an orchard such as his ancestors had
in the days when back-yards usually extended
for miles. Modern dwellings are too close
together to permit extensive planting of fruit

BILE to raise all sorts of native fruit in very
small area. Dwarf apple trees have given
fine results at the Connecticut Agricultural
Experiment Station. They have planted
trees that produced fruit three years later.
Grating produced the dwarf stock. The

trees give the owner chance to care for them
properly.
