An Historic Occasion

Connecticut is one of the six states in
northeastern United States to sign the
pact assuring women and minors of fair
treatment in industry. The other sigma
lures were obtained from representatives
of Pennsylvania, Rhode Island Maine,
Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and New
York. Sheltered within the confines of
this territory is one-quarter of our ma
tons population. When they rise to pro-
tect women and children in industry they
do 80 after due elaboration, mature
thought, and a careful consideration of
the future.
May we hope that such pact, entered
into only after many years of consultation
among the states represented, will prove
far more acceptable than any constitu-
tional amendment prohibiting child labor.
It is the primary duty of the state and not
the nation to look out for the welfare of
the woman and the child in our shops. 1t
certainly is far more progressive move
for such group Of states, as above emu
merated, to take the step they did than
for Uncle Sam to calmly decide that he
shall be the arbiter
President Roosevelt himself set the ex.
ample for some such procedure when gov
ernor of New York. Apprised of the
pending ratification Of the interstate COM
pact he forwarded his congratulations to
Concord, N. H., where the signatures
were placed on the document. He praises
the effort to Improve industrial and la
Dor standards, as well he might. We
hope that the legislatures Of the several
states will see eye to eye on this matter
and oblige with the necessary ratification.

Il Is now stated that friends of Internal
Revenue Collector DR. Edward 6. Dolan
will persuade him to seek the democratic
nomination for u. S. Senator this fall.
This Is the outcome Of the expected re-
lection of his name by the Senate for his
present position. We wonder If everybody
realizes the irony OF such statement as
this. DR. Dolan is rejected, as apparently
he will be, he will seek to gain admittance
to the very body which is taking away
from him his federal appointment.
Still stranger things than that happen
In politics. There Is no more irony in this
feature of the case than in the adamant
stand taken by Senator Lonergan on the
Dolan appointment. II wasn't SO many
years ago that Senator Lonergan and DR.
Dolan were close personal friends and po-
litical allies. They may remain the
former today despite all reports to the
contrary, but they certainly are very far
apart politically speaking, although both
still claim allegiance TO the democratic
party of Connecticut.
There again we claim irony rears scaly
heads. The democratic party of Connecti-
cut Is quite unlike that of most states, For
two successive years we have elected a
democratic governor. Two years ago we
gained control of the State Senate (at
least on paper we appeared toy. This
year the outcome has been most encour-
aging, save for the hopelessness of ending
patronage disputes. This may be a
strange thing TO say, but il the republicans
had been kept In national power in 1882,
the democratic party of Connecticut today
would be far stronger than 1t is right now.
To return TO the first thought the
polan candidacy for the Senate - we are
rather anxious TO see such test brought
10 head. There arc varying claims heard
In the state right now. A year ago DR.
Dolan was reckoned one Of the few demo-
Gratis capable Of securing administration
support. He may still be able TO count
heavily on that, but within the boundaries
Of the state no democrats prestige has in
creased more than that of Senator Loner'
gan. Therefore, II may be that the demo
cratic senator will be drawn into the
coming nominations and elections.
II has been taken tor granted that
Representative Francis T. Maloney OF
Merden Of the third congressional dis
trict would be the senatorial nominee. But
even 40 we recall hearing mention of DR.
Dolan's name In connection with the
nomination early this year and even as
long ago as last fall convention fight
would certainly show where the real
strength In the state lies. II would be
hard TO predict the outcome of Dolan.
Maloney nomination fight right now, but
there would be lurking suspicion in this
writer's mind that while the former
might get the sentiment, the latter would
have the votes Of the delegates

There might well be more Of this sort
of historic exploring. Americans who are
wondering what sort of vacations they
will have In the United States this sum-

ground and relics in their own states. A
good many Americans who have gazed in
awe and pleasure at historic buildings and
scenic marvels abroad are astonishingly
ignorant of what their own country holds
Of such attractions. This is fine time to
get acquainted. For those who have little
time and little money, short excursions in
their own counties and states-with the
advice of museum or library authorities
will provide much of interest. For
others there is whole wide continent in
viting them.
