turned to work since March.
Labor made its demands yes

its advisory committee, attended
by Secretary Of Labor Frances
Perkins. This was exclusively

Give The Blue Eagle a Chance

Those who expected to see the heavens open and to hear a chorus of trumpetS an nouneing the millennium as soon as the last blue eagle emblem was floatcd over an American factory are going about these days acting as if they had been deceived cruelty Codes beyond number have been signed, and you couldn't throw stone without break ing a blue -eagled window; but still the depression continues men remain out of work. strikes break out across the industrial belt like rash, and the prestidigitators down at Washington prepare to pull new rabbits out of the hat, So you hear some people asking plantively, What is the mat ter with the NRA?" And others less plain tive, assert bluntly that the whole program is a flop
 It is easy 10 point out that we expected hours. setting minimum pay scales, and grouping whole industries under fair compe tirion agreements could not possibly restore prosperity unaided. All these things simply provide the channel through which the re- covery current is to flow. Raising that cur rent to flood strength is something else again. And because flood strength has not been reached, it would be easy for us to assume that the blue eagle is d less potent bird than we thought it was. We could not make greater mistake in judgment Through one device or another, we event ually shall set all the wheels spinning again. and when that time comes, then the value of the blue eagle agreements will be fully apparent We shall find, then. that We have leaped ahead to universal acceptance of the theory that the nation cannot prosper unless its lowliest wage-earner is also pros- pering; that we have given the common man new independence. fairer share of indus try's earnings, a more certain protection in his lob: that We have given ourselves the reins by which we seriously can attempt to control the mysterious economic processes that govern our national life.
 Tn fact, we shall find that we have pu. something very like revolution q peaceful. classless revolution that gives our trsG:tionsl democracy splendid new sig nifiesnee. The blue eagle hasn't flopPed vsf. Jt hardly has begun to fly.

McKee's Candidacy

The voters of New York city will have q chance to vote for any one of the three candidates for mayor in the coming Novem- her election. The democratic nominee will be Mayor O'Brien, the Tammany candi- date: the fusion candidate will be F. II. LaGuardia, republican. The independ- ent candidate is Joseph V. Mckee, demo- erat who succeeded Mayor Walker. and who received many written-in votes at the time Mayor OBrien was elected for the balance of the Walker term.
 The candidacy of Mir Mckee has com pletely unnerved the leaders of both Tam many and the fusion forces Tammany has said nothing except to threaten the Bronx leaders who have gone over to Mckee while Samuel Seabury, the so-called leader of the fusion forces, has denounced Mckee for entering the race. But Mckee has gone ahead and prepared a complete slate of in- dependent democrats for the various offices on the ticket His latest act in the noml- nation of Ferdinand Pecora for district at- torney is considered ono of the eevereSt moves of the campaign. Pecora is high grade lawyer and just now is conducting the senate inquiry into stock market prae- tiecs.
 Then, too, Mckee, has reached out and I who conducted the campaign for Mayor O'Brien when he was first elected. Hoey has been named for borough president of Man haitian. And in addition, Edward J. Flynn, Bronx leader, and democratic secretary of state. has come out flatly for Mckee These are unusual times, explained Flynn, when questioned for his act, Mckee is a democrat, so am not desertng the party when l work for him
 All of which means that very interesting times are ahead for all three nominees Sea- bury certainly has plenty of nerve in his first campaign of years. He hates Tammany be. cause when he ran for governor in l9l6 the claim was made that New York city de- serted him. His prominence in the Hof- stadcr investigation brought him before the public again. and he is driving on for off cial recognition Yet he was fearful to run for mayor but he wanted say in the fusion nomination. He has three of his own staff on the city ticket, To us Sea- bury evidently thinks the Hofstader com mittec is still in power, Everybody in the campaign is wrong except Seabury, it would seem from Seabury's speeches Mayor O'Bricn says nothing to the attacks made upon him. Mckee answers Scabury, and does it in d very diplomatic manner MeKee's entry will surely swing thousands of votes from the two other candidates, Many per sons predict his election.

Bosses to Battle

According to the Hartford Times the election of 1894 in Connecticut will witness battle of 'bosses." The Times speeifieal- ly refers to 'bis" and little" bosses in the democratic ranks. We thought all the bosses were in the g,o.p. But probably since they have come into some power in the state the democrats have decided to take leaf out of the republican manual. At any rate the Times conjecture adds refreshing note to the situation.
 Here is what was said 1t can be seen that the next battle of the democrats will be waged by the little bosses who want to be big bosses" And the democratic party next year will be asked to choose between Governor Cross and the old type of leader ship which went out when he went in. AL ready his leadership has been challenged openly. A definite move is on to place Sem ator Augustine Lonergan at the head of the party. It appears that one more old guard strategist will use him to drive wedge into the new guard and the governors forces
 
 .."
 All we'll and good. But supposing that Governor Cross decides to drop out of the running as governor and seek the place that Senator Frederic C. Waleott now holds. That isn't a far-fetehed prediction. It IS as safe to predict that he will do this as to say he will run for third term. In fact many people think that he is counting on making Connectieuts representation in the upper house of Congress unanimously democratic. Undoubtedly term or two in the Senate would be glorious close to political career that has begun at a time when good many men are retiring from active participation in politics.
 It will be interesting to note how many Small bosses so-ealled, there are in the democratic ranks. Personally we prefer to believe that any fight for state leadership will be confined to republican ranks. There are unmistakable signs there of internal war- fare They have been Haunted right along, but never more openly than a week or so ago when Judge Raymond Baldwin of Stratford was hailed as the next governor of Connecticut. We could just hear some of the republican leaders in other sections of the state commenting upon this and why should the republicans drop Lieutenant governor Roy C. Wilcox of Meriden so abruptly. No, there may be bosses, big and little, but we'll wager that the republican party will have distinct option on them.

Straight From The Shoulder

We don't know how many people read the speech that President Franklin D. Roose- welt delivered in Washington Saturday morning but all those who didn't ought to try to secure copy and read it. The oeeas- ion was the dedication of monument to the memory of the late Samuel Gompers, beloved labor chief for many years. Among other things Rooseyct recalled how at one session of the New York Legislature about 20 years ago he. Mir Gompers Alfred E. Smith. and Senator Robert F. Wagner fought long battle to push across legis. lation securing 54-hour week for women. It was in just such frame of mind that he must have been back in 1911 that on Saturday. October 7, in Washington, D. C.. the President told capital and labor to cut out all the foolish pickering that is now sadly disruptng the nation. It was no mild statement that was issued but a straight from the shoulder one. President Roosevelt did not mnee words. He said, |" .. there are hotheads who think that results can be obtained by noise or violence; there are ir5,dious voices seeking to instil methods or principles which are wholly foreign to the American form of democratic govern ment.
 The President is right in speaking as harshly as he did. And no one would have seconded his remarks more promptly than the man in whose honor President Roosevelt was speaking Saturday. Just as he told the veterans at their convention last week that they should not look for special privileges nor consider themselves in class above the ordinary citizen, so he warned employer and cmploye alike to remember that in time of depression whole-hearted cooperation is required to push the wheels out of the morass Personal gain must be sacrificed for national welfare. Let us heed these words of counsel. so that we may all the sooner enjoy the fruits of united assault on dis. turbed modes of living.

How would you like to become gentle man farmer and harvest crop of weeds1 Whats that? You thought that weeds were about the only things that gentleman farmers harvested. Not if. you examine any of these model farms about which So much is writ ten. But seriously speaking this business of raising weeds is now professionalzed. Missouri farmers now find it profitable to raise weeds. However, they pick their weeds with care. For example, they get 6 cents pound for skull-eap, weed common to Missouri. in the St Louis market. Mandrake also brings. 6 cents. Slippery elm is worth cents in 4-foot slabs These are all weeds, mind you. yet in St -Louis's herb market they fetch nice profits so don't sputter about weeds any more.

The seating of Sid Lynch as member of the board of New Haven county eommis- soners marks the first time that democrat has held this position in more years than we can remember Tn fact, we doubt if there are many familiar with the political history of the state who can recall the last democratic county commissioner in New Haven. Once upon time the county commissioners were ex- tremcly active officials, but with the gradual absorption of county offices with those of the town and state these decreased. In time counties may be entirely eliminated.
