Brief History Prepared.
Miss Coulson, member of the Ad-
visory Committee cooperating with
the Emergency Relief Division in
carrying on the gardens, has prepared
q brief history. which is being mimeo-
graphed for distribution among the
delegates. 1t follows, in part:
There is magic in the reclaiming
power of a garden, and there is a fine
demonstration of this power in the
subsistence gardens, particularly the
Kingman tract, which has been trans
formed from an unhealthy swamp
and dump into a lovely landscape.
1.-The subsistence gardens project OF
the District has continued for three
years. In the first project there were
68 gardens, both white and colored;
the second year there were 400, the
third year there were over 900 gar
dens located throughout the city, for
both white and colored people. : .
Estimated Production.
"The Agriculture Department has
estimated that each garden will grow
from $75 to $3.50 worth of produce
The gardeners are chosen from Sc
lected list, with view to reducing
the need OF relief and the desire to
keep the family off of relief.

Let's Get Started

Fresh reports of new alignment or
forces within the democratic party crop
forth each week. Life In the democratic
party of Connecticut would indeed be dull
il It couldn't be reported that new line
up would control the destinies OF the
party at the fall elections. Incidentally
those elections aren't as far away as they
were last week. And as the days pass
by they come even nearer. It's just about
time for the democrats to be up and
doing.
All cannot be left to state central
committee that apparently lacks pro-
gram and a leader. If there is to be any
change in the craftsmanship of the state
central committee it's time that it was
made. We have recommended the success
sion of j. Francis Smith of Waterbury,
the present secretary, to the position now
occupied by Attorney David A. Wilson OF
Hartford. No one finds. fault with Mr.
Wilson's management of the office, but 1t
does appear as if he is swayed between
two loves, the desire to secure federal
appointment and to retain control of the
central committee.
It is obvious that whatever early cam
paigning is done in Connecticut must
originate with the state central commit
tee. There have been sporadic efforts
throughout the state to interest the cleo
torate in the democratic party and its
candidates. Notable among those was the
appearance at Middletown gathering of
a new campaigner, Edward S. Wallace
resident of Washington, but employed in
Waterbury. Historically inclined Mr. Wal
lace gave US taste of something savory
in political fare. More of it would be ap-
preciated. A little backing from the
proper sources certainly could make this
available.
There is no gainsaying the fact that re-
publicans are working quietly but deter
minedly to regain the offices they have
lost in the last two elections. They real
ize full we'll that if the governorship is
lost in 1884 and If the democrats increase
their holdings the cop. in Connecticut
will be in about the same condition as the
national party. The only reason why the
republicans might succeed this fall is the
apparent failure of the democrats to CAPT.
talize their opportunities. They are gold
en-. If we toss them aside for personal
ACKNOWLEDGMENT or for purely selfish rea-
sons then we simply hand over what state
offices we now hold to the republicans.

Interest Il Revived

It remained for the State Federation
of Democratic Women Clubs to revive i'm
terest in the establishment of the district
court at a meeting held in Deep River
Saturday. Anybody who has followed
the course of the last two legislative ses-
sions must recall the interest that this is
sue created. Two years ago it was the re-
publican party that defeated it. Last
year, we'll with the two houses split in
control it was both parties that defeated
the measures.
Originally the idea of establishing dis
trict courts instead of the present set-up
of city, police, town, borough, and justice
of the peace tribunals came from the state
judicial council It was thus conclusively
proved that it wasn't of political origin.
However, il there was any doubt OF that
mere perusal of the bill itself would have
shown it could not have originated in po'
litical circles 1t hit at political patron
age.
It was on this score that the republi-
cans beat it in 1881. At that time the
democrats, being in the minority in both
the House and Senate, fought strenuous
" to get it passed. But naturally the ma
jority party had its way. There was mer-
It in the measure, said the republicans.
but to pass it would be to strike death
blow at party control. Evidently this
doctrine was passed along to the demo-
Gratis in 1888 when they lorded it over
the Senate by mere one vote.
If ever there was a glorious oppor-
tunity to put Connecticut on record as
opposed to the awarding of court offices
on the basis of political strength it was
in 1888. It's one of the weak points in
the democratic armor this year, but for
tunately the republicans cannot fire any
blasts at them for they are tarred with
the same brush. Some day we are going
to send group of legislators to Hartford
who will remove all the courts from the
roalm of politics. When that day comes
maybe we can also end our system of Dor.
ough representation, archaic if ever there
was one.

they did in the fan or '29.
That might be sound reason. Yet 4
per cent isn't so bad, after the starvation
period securities have been going through
for several years. At least, 1t isn't so
bad if the owner thinks it may go higher.
In stocks it's the direction of the curve
on the chart, rather than the particular
point, that counts. If you fear preci-
pice ahead, that's different.
Altogether. the comparison with 1929
isn't very convincing to a detached on
locker. Earning ratios alone don't tell
the story. Percentages of profit may
be the same, but there vast difference
in the elevation. Common stocks at the
boom peak were selling at prices far high
er than the recent top-many of them
three or four times as high. Many, too,
were earning only 2 or per cent on the
market price Buyers then, as few
calm observers told them without avail,
were stark crazy to pay such prices, be-
cause the securities could never pay fair
earnings on their cost. At low stock
prices to-day, it's very different, unless
private capitalism is done for-and few
of us think it is.

Helping Slaughter

Bolivia and Paraguay, like super-patri-
otto war-makers everywhere, and also like
our domestic criminals in this country,
continue to obtain arms and war ma
terials without difficulty" as a League of
Nations committee reports. The part
played by international arms vendors in
that suicidal struggle has become, as the
committee plainly regards it, an interna-
tional scandal. Instead of cain and friend
ly onlookers in other countries doing their
best to stop the slaughter which is making
the No Mans Land of the Gran Chaco a
vast graveyard, the industrial powers are
busily and profitably tossing gunpowder on
the flames. Machine guns, cartridges, dy
Mantle, war planes pour in from the United
States, England, France and elsewhere.
Bolivia and Paraguay are small, poor
countries. Their war dead last year alone
numbered $4,000, with twice as many
wounded The treasures are exhausted
Bled white, they still fight on until women
and children are in the trenches. Here is
patriotism, or patriotic compulsion, gone
crazy. The rest of us look on with SNUG
superiority and continue helping them kill
each other, when concerted refusal Of
weapons and ammunition would stop the
war within three months.

Washington, May 22 - The

securities act has not ab0ted

ward It's close, the fight has
taken IL more subtle turn.
The latest was q move made
through the unsuspccting and

Henry Morgenthau, who, while
heartily for the securities act,
doesn't want to see the flow OF
private capital curtailed.
So last week, Young Henry In

banking and currency commit
tee to lunch. At lunch also were
various New York bankers.
The strategy the bankers out
lined briefly was this:
TO relieve underwriting houses
from any liability under the sc.

This would mean that big

distributing houses would be
liable for losses under tho Becur.

The catch, however, Is that

diately would whisper: This is
underwritten by tho house OF
Morgan" which might carry
real weight.
