Aims Sarcasm at Relief

Nobody is suggesting giving Mir. Sl1ouse that "30 or 40 million, :" but it is felt that considerable re- sentiment can be stirred up against him--even among the employed.
 Another item in New Deal files scout of speech in which MT. SlIouse quoted and commented on a press dispatch which told of a Kansas woman who called at a re- lief headquarters and announced:.
 i've just can't get along on what we're getting. My husband and have talked it over and he said if we didn't get more, he was going out and try to find job"
 1T am sure everyone here to- night" MT. Shouse-whose salary is $36,000 year-told his audi ence, must have the deepest sym pathy for the plight of this couple. TO think that an able-bodied man might face the necessity of having to look for job Is truly appall- ing"
 Recitation of such isolated in- stances, true of otherwise, among millions of relief case histories. &C., companied by sarcastic comment as If to indicate widespread situa- tion, is the sort of thing that makes Harry Hopkins and other humanitarians in the New Deal boil with rage.
 Survey Riddles Charges
 Such yarns led to recent EZRA survey in Baltimore, where it had been charged that many persons on relief rolls were refusing jobs. THE EZRA found "a very few in- cidents magnified by loose talk"
 Of 1s5 cases where job refusals were charged in a two-month pe- riod, only four were found to have been clear cases of unjustified fe- fusal. Tn those four cases relief had been cut off immediately.
 Meanwhile. PIT persons had been moved from relief rolls to private Employment in that period. Of the 195, 65 persons accused were not on relief rolls at all. 65 failed to accept offers because they had tenn porary employment or were unem- pIoyable. IS hadn't been notified or eauldn't ind the employer, and others couldn't leave invalids or fi1ildren alone at home, lacked t8oIs. or refused to accept sub standard wages.
 Such figures, the administration believes, adequately answer vague eharges that the army of unem- &Ioyed is developing into a lazy Eroup determined to be supported 66 public expense.

BEHIND THE SCENES
 IN WASHINGTON
Both Parties Turn Suspicious Eyes on Liberty League =. Biting Remarks Come Back to Bite Mir. Shouse |. Survey Riddles Relief Charges.
BY RODNEY BUTCHER Democrat Washington
 Correspondent

Washington, July 15-It would Do. most extraordinary if politicians of all stripes did not have varying suspicious as to the intentions of JCuett Shouse and his American campaign of 1896.
 They have. Many regular re- publicans. for instance, suspect that MT. Shouse would like to place one of his favorite conserv- Rtive democrats at the h of either Q republican ticket or q coalition conservative ticket next year. Lew Douglas or Al Smith or Owen D. Young, maybe.
 The regulars are bit sarcastic about the idea, because they insist on nominating a republican.
 Similarly, the Roosevelt demo- crats and the progressives whis- per that the Liberty League, if it can't effect such coalition, is like ly to try to organize a conserva- tive democratic political move ment which would draw a lot of votes from the Roosevelt ticket.
 No one can imagine that the league, after its career to date, will fold up for the period of the campaign and take no sides. It has issued a series of pamphlets blast ing every important legislative pro- pQsal supported by the adminis- tration in this session of congress.
 The United Press reported ear T4Kts th4u fhof fhA InoOnn c under control of a group repre- senting financial and industrial organizations possessing assets of mbre than 37,000,000, ,000--which means a large section of the inter- ests, including utilities, which now oppose Roosevelt with almost hysterical venom.
 Boomerang for Shouse
 sCertain New Dealers, believing that the able MT. Shouse will be ode of their most dangerous en- ernies in the campaign, are accu- mllating little items of Shousiana which they hope to be able to hurl back at him with some effect.
 Among the millions of voters on relief and the millions of others who sympathize with them, 1t Is believed the support of Mir. Shouse can be made liability for whom ever Mir. Shouse and the league decide to support.
 They cite. for instance, quota tion from MT. Shouse as follows:
 "There are still in this country 30 or 40 million people who have jobs or refused to go on the dole. I alill have faith in the American people. You can give me that 30 or 40 million people and you can take the rest and be damned"

player with a notice to appear for
questioning just before the first game
of a double-header with Chicago.
If Vosmiks counsel wishes to ar

all right" Sacharow added.
Miss Bahr, a stenographer, asserted
in the suit filed yesterday in Common
Pleas Court, that as result of the
refusal she had suffered physical and
mental humiliation, disgrace and dis
tress and that her mental and physi-

Greenkeepers Relieved.


THOROUGHLY dried out after more
than month of blazing sun,
the local golf courses will be in bet
ter shape after the rain which fell
a few hours ago. Greenkeepers had
begun to worry over the condition
of their courses, for fairways were
burning up, the grass was turning
brown and the hottest month of the
year was ahead.
They predict now that the grass
will come back quickly and with a
little more rain no damage will be
done. More rain is needed, however,
to soak thoroughly the fairways and
greens. Meanwhile, tremendous tee
shots of 800 yards and more have
been common. For normally we'll
hit ball will run almost 100 yards
on the adamant fairways of Mid
summer.
Take the tenth at Columbia, for
example. Tommy Ryan, Belle Haven
pro, drove a ball from the back tee,
which wound up level with the bunk
ers across the fairway $40 yards from
the tee. But Tommy is a long hitter.
Roland Mackenzie hit one so far on
the eighteenth at Indian Spring the
other day that he played his second
shot to the green with a No. 8 iron.
The hole measures around 420 yards
in length. Driving a golf ball long
distance on hard fairways is no trick
at all.

Pooling Old Folks

Continued activity in behalf of the Townsend plan may possibly serve good purpose in a general way, by keeping alive the demand for old age security un- til something definite is accomplished along that line. Otherwise the further spread of Townsend clubs and propaganda is hard to justify, because it cruelty raises so many hopes that cannot be fulfilled.
 Heartbreaking stories are heard on all sides about old people visiting stores and ordering expensive furniture, clothing, and so on, to be delivered and paid for when the government starts paying them $200 a month Many of them are planning to take long travel trips, to buy automo- piles, to help their children or grandchil. dren, when the good fairy starts pouring all this money int to their laps. Millions expect their golden age to arrive soon perhaps next fall or next January
 Surely rational people everywhere must realize, or least suspect, by this time, that no such lavish pensions are possible. There is going to be bitter disappointment in many home Except for the indirect benefit mentioned above, it is a cruel farce, however good may be the intentions of the propagandists And even a possible pension of $40 to $50 month, by joint action of state and federal governments. is going to be come-down and heart break to many an old man and woman.

tion. Soon cable car will make it possi- ble to visit the mountain top, but so in- genious are the engineers that not one mechanical trace will scar the scene.
 Speaking of the famous cliff the editor of the New London Day recently said, 'It is not simply the startling lifelike outline of the profile that makes the visitors to the Old Man gasp; the picturesque natural setting for the face adds immeasurably to the attraction. Jutting out from the top of precipitous cliff of granite, the Old Man looks out upon wild and beau tiful panorama. His nobly proportioned brow, aquiline nose and firmly moulded jaw are sharply outlined against the sky. Particularly in late afternoon when the sun is setting on a bank of clouds behind him, he appears to be some wise patriarch guarding the destinies of the state. In rainy or cloudy weather wisps of cloud often partly obscure him or form like a misty halo above him. But, whatever is said of him, it is true that his outline does more than somewhat resemble human profile. It is that of a rugged, strong featured man. ."

Parents Are Neglectful

For a good many months there has been an apparent wave of juvenile crime, de- linouency or call it whatever you like in Waterbury. One month it rushes over the city; the next it subsidies. But it re- turns again and again. It is not due to any fault on the part of our enforcement officials. No, the blame is much nearer home In fact it goes right to the home. The boy or girl who takes to crime may come sometimes from home where the best of training has been given, but that is a rare case and one requiring special treatment. The majority of cases go back to homes where the culprit was not sub- jected to proper training.
 We have here in Waterbury boys who think nothing of breaking and entering stores or homes. There are youths who gang together and make practice of raiding cars parked along various streets. Their loot will consist of articles left in cars, ornaments on the car and even gaso- line and tires. A few years back there was series of armed hold-ups, would-be thugs brandishing guns at storkeepers and pedestrians. That epidemic seems to have died out fortunately, but the petty thefts continue as can be judged by the regularity of complaints and arrests.
 It is the moral duty of every father and mother to point out to offspring the right and wrong way of developing character It is their duty to provide for the young such opportunities as will enable them to see more clearly the difference between right and wrong. These are difficult times for many people to keep their fami- lies together let along preach or teach misunderstanding, but the youth of this nation must be saved even at the tremend- ous cost that may be exacted. Too many parents don't know what company their children are keeping; what their daily habits are. They should so conduct their own lives that the youngsters will seek to initiate.
