A Run For Your MoHey

Motorists shouldn't overlook the fact this year that the State Motor Vehicle Department is giving them fine run for their money. Instead of the customary twelve months usage of their current license plates, they'll get fourteen months if they bought them at the beginning of 1885. That is due to change in the Connecticut statutes, made at the recent session of the Legislature, changing the motor year from March to March, instead Of from January to January. This makes it coincide with the date of issuance of operators licenses.
 The new plates will be issued as of February %, 1886. All car owners have besl warned not to submit requests or 61dsss for plates even for reserved nun

 Tn the office of the chief gard- ener is @ complete plot of the Executive Mansion grounds. It shows every tree and shrub in detail. However, each tree is it. self marked with 8 small bronze plate on the trunk, giving the common and Latin name.
 IN ALL, there are 34s arbor- cal specimens, of ninety-one species. There are eleven vari- cities of oak alone more than many professional foresters ever heard of. There's . chest- mt oak, Daimyo oak, golden English oak, M0ssycup oak, Turkey oak, shingIe oak, and swamp white oak. In addition there are the usual varieties: pink, red, scarlet and white oak.
 THERE'S . Japanese witch hazel, and three forms of yew: English, golden. English, and Irish. There are two hair CIhi- nese chestnut trees, an Amur cork, and an epauIette tree.
 THE OLDEST specimen is . white ash, at least 175 years old. Most numerous are the American eIlns (which are used to edge the min driveway. Films number thirty-five. The rarest tree is probably a fern- 1eafed beech, or a cut-leafed weeping birch!
 Past presidents have helped the arboreal display considerably. John Quincy Adams planted an American elm in 1925 and Ruth erford B. Hayes planted another in 1878. Benjamin Harrison, Will liam Mckinley, Andrew Jackson, Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson all made additions.

 For guidance when that time comes, the decision of 8 New York supreme court justice might well be preserved. Litigation had come before the court respecting the use of the Bible in the schools and per- mitting school use by racial and religious organizations. He pointed out in the first place that reading the Bible in the public schools does not constitute the foisting of the scriptures upon pupils and suggested that whether accepted or not as an historical document, it might well merit respect forits rare and sub- lime literary qualities" And the attitude suggested for courts was contained in several rhetorical ques- tionS:
 Are the courts to dictate what shall and what shall not be read in the public schools? Is the cur- riculum of the public schools to be subject to judicial supervision and review? Ahe the courts to usury the educational functions vested in the Board of Education?
 'It would be treading on explo- sive grounds" he maintained, flor the courts to essay 8 regimen for the public schools" The same seems to apply to legislatures. Those would keep out of hot water, and educa- tion would probably proceed as ef- fectively, if legislators would confine themselves to seeing that adequate funds are raised and that no more is spent, leaving the details of cur ricula and conduct to able educa- tional authorities and leaving those authorities to bear the full respon- abilities which they are engaged to shoulder

There is some pressure in republican ranks to make Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., the candid-.5e for the presidency in 1886. All of which, we think, would please dem ocrats very much. In fact, when Charlie Nicholson, the democratic publicity major-domo, gets ahold of this piece of information, he'll probably capitalize on it as he did on ex-President Hoover, who had no intention of seeking any nomina- tion until astute Charlie threw him into the race. The same could easily be done with Teddy Junior.

Selected Poem

MEN David P. Berenberg in the New York Sun) Most men see nothing; To them a street Is narrow path For idle feet. One man in thousands Sees that which walls hide, The rich dreams of men, Their tall pride, Their mean ways Their dark fears, Their stark awe Of the passing years Their grim failures, Their panting breath As they wage war On the hosts of death. One man in thousands Has the grace to see What great thing Man can be.

BYGEoRGE ROSS

New York, Nov. fixing Of the song g-pluggers, Rocco Vocco (not a gag; it's his real narne) is being honored by Tin Pan Alley with a
 testimonial dinner. This is news of man. -bites-dog nature since it is the first time bandleaders have clipped in to feast tune peddler.
 But Rocco Vocco, who has plugged songs for 31 years, be- tween the Battery and Frisco. is no ordinary song salesman. From Paul Whiteman and Abe Lyman down the line, Rock" as he, is known along the music market, has friends and acquaintances in any orchestral aggregation around the United States.
 Song-plugging, Rock" Vocco was sadly telling me, isn't what it was in the old days before talk ing pictures and the radio, when a melody could click after con- stant repetitions by the late Nora Bayes, or Eddie Cantor, and sell a million sheet-music copies. Vocco is the man who once bought a catchy tune Fred Menken sub- mitted as Wabash Blues" for $50 and didn't hear the end of its popularity until the profits came to $300,000. He is also the fel- low who spread a million copies of Gus Kahn's "Toot-Toot- Tootsy" around the country. And other Tin Pan Alley products he's successfully peddled include "No, No, Norah," Goodbye Broadway, Hello France" which you must have heard, sometime or other, on tinny nickelodeon. It was in 1904 that Vocco start ed in this good -time-charlie voca- tion at a first ward democratic ball in Chicago. Harry von Tilzer, the famous composer, asked Vocco to climb up to the platform and sing a ditty called, "Bedelia, I Wanna Stealya." Vocco sang this piece so well it became Chi cago's anthem during the ensuing month and other cities took to whistling it afterward. And Vocco was installed by Won Tilzer in the song plugging business. Now, he is the most popular man in the pro- fesSion.

There's Sidney Kingsley, 29-year-old drama tist who wrote the seasons first dramatic smash hit, Dead End, :" which describes the squalid lives of the beggarly residents of our East River front. At 27, Kingsley was Pulitzer prize winner for his Men in White" and at 24, when I made his acquaintance, Kingsley was al- ready immersed in plot and charac- ter for the dramas swirling in his mind.

which was as unfounded on fact as
was most of the testimony in the
MoOney-Billings case. The jury found
the men guilty and they were SEN
fenced to hang. One of them escaped
execution by suicide in the Cook
County Jail. The others died on the
gallows, November II, 1887.
The next day the broken bodies OF
the five victims of judicial murder
were buried in Waldheim cemetery,
and as they were lowered into their
graves their chief counsel declared:
For the love of truth they died.
They fought for a cause believing
themselves in the right, and in the
years to come they will be loved and
revered."
That prophecy has been redeemed,
and each year a great crowd gathers
at their monument in Waldheim Gem
etery on the anniversary of their
deaths, where eloquent speakers give
voice to a sentiment that has mellow
ed with the passing of time.
They did not die in vain. For the
love of the truth they gave their all
in all, and the fight for social justice
goes on and on.

ANOTHER SCHALL NIGHTMARE
THE State NeWS)

"Bureaucrats of Washington" de-
clared Senator Tom Schall, ARE cir
culating a story to the effect that if
the sentiment against Roosevelt con-
tinues to grow from now until election
there will be no election A
prominent New Deal senator is al'eg-
ed to have made this statement and
to have later retracted it. A major
ity of us will remember that after as
Stunning office, Mr.. Roosevelt intimated
that he would be the last president of
the United States
The above statement is character
istic of the junior Minnesota senator
whose regard for facts and truth is
well known to the people of Mime
sofa. No man in his right mind would
make such n statement, let alone ex-
pect any American citizen to believe
it. We in Minnesota who know Schall
are not at all surprised at this latest
hallucination; we may expect almost
anything from the senator who is now
making his last stand for public favor
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1935-11-28

What he was really doing was at
tempting to use the courts to protect
| armed thugs imported by employers
to shoot workers down. There is un-
contradicted testimony that the first
shots in the fatal riot came from the
plant where the Pinkertons were
lodged.
So in effect we find a court giving
its efforts to the whiteWashing of
those who the evidence points were
guilty of deadly assaults.
There is even more than this to the
decision. 1t is an attempt to tie the
worker to his job as in the days of
chattel slavery
In one of the novels of Sir Walter
Scott there appears pitiful figure.
1t is that of Girth, the. Swineherd.
There were no factories for workers
to sleep in in the period or place
where Girth lived. Neither was there
any house for Girth to find protection.
Scott pictures this forlorn figure as
being taken to his work in the day
and at night chained to a stake out
side the door of his feudal master
1t is toward this condition, the con-
dition which the Citizens Alliance
would bring to all workers, that the
Judge is reaching with his decision
Anatole France, revered French
writer, orce penned the following
lines:
1.-The law in it's majestic equality
forbids the rich as we'll as the poor
to sleep under bridges, to beg in the
streets, and to steal bread"
1t is such decisions as that of Judge
Montgomery that constantly decrease
the respect workers can have for
courts. Such decisions make it plain
to workers that the best protection
in time of strike is a strong picket
line
In effect the decision of the Court
says to the Citizens Alliance you were
right when you imported Pinkerton
finks to incite riots that resulted in
the Staying of two youthful workers
who were simply bystanders.
