Under Dark Skies

z Experts working for the Federal Emer- gency Relief Administration sat down not aong ago to try, to find out just who this Morgotten man we have been hearing so much about really is. Examining their Tecords, they came to the surface at last with the following descriptions: He is between 45 and 65 years of age. He makes up about 27 per cent of the ''employable" yelief population; but there's catch in 9he use of that adjective, because his Finances of re-entering private industry are almost nil, 45 being accounted sere $nd yellow old age in employment offices these days.
 . The forgotten man, further, has little hope of cashing in under any unemploy- ment insurance scheme, and unless he is 9etting very close to 65 no old-age pen gions will do him much good. If the ad- ministration's $4,800,00O,OOO work relief Scheme goes through, it may mean a job for him, but the job will be only tempor- ary and it won't pay him any very prince 1y sum.
 . All in all, he is plodding along under pretty dark sky, and there is little ndi- Gation that his sky is going to get much lighter And his existence under such cir Gumstances is one of the most telling in- Iictments imaginable against our whole Social system. The man who has passed 45 ought to be just entering the age in @vhich he can enjoy the fruits of the society ln which he lives. The experience he has :8ained in his work ought to make him valuable man in his job; his years of liv- lng ought to have ripened his wisdom so ,@hatshe could get more human values out pf his life than ever before
 . Instead, in all too many cases, passing son into middle age is apt to take him over zhe deadline beyond which there is no se- 5ure place for him. We seem to have ar Tanged things so that we have no use for him. If he has job, he must worry about losing it; if he loses it. he is pitched <nto asituation from which it is constant ly becoming more difficult for hi into ex- fricate himself by his own exertions. There is something both heartless and Silly about such state of affairs. One of 1he prime features of any proper thew 1ieal" ought to be the discovery of some workable way to remedy it.

sponsible for this startling innovation. They will build large plant to transform the syrup into a drinkable product by the usual process of double distillation.. The distinctive color, lost in distilling, wall be restored by sherry casks or caramel.
 It would be crime to deprive the coun- try of it's favorite pancake dope. No such offense, however, is intended. There are plenty of maple trees in Vermont. This IS the states third most valuable crop. Maple syrup and sugar surpluses have been inc creasing. Only the excess would be dis titled. In that enterprise Vermont farm- CTS forsee new prosperity.
 So it seems to be one of those ways the business advisers have been recommend ing to work ourselves out of the depres- sion--new industries tapping new markets. The alcoholic beverage market still seems to offer pioneer opportunities.

Slap at Roosevelt

V It being extremely popular to take
 good old-fashioned whack at President Franklin D. Roosevelt these days, the republicans of the Connecticut General Assembly decided to be in style. In lam- basting the rehabilitation program which Governor Wilbur L. Cross had forwarded to the General Assembly as the work of the federal government the republicans took time out to criticize the New Deal and those administering it in Washing ton. It is still moot question whether the New Deal should be condemned as such or simply the weak points picked out and the incompetent officials dropped. Both exist.
 i.s It is hard to say whether or not the re- ,habilitation program would work put well in, Connecticut with it's highly industrial ized population. It is not our purpose to drag it down any deeper than the Legisla- were quite sold on the idea, not so much :thinking of it's application to Connecticut as to other states where such an experl- 1nent might prove its worth. It looked like fine idea to offer to the man of coun- try birth, but city upbringing gives a chance to recover his equilibrium far from the bright lights and whirling throngs, yet close enough not to feel too lonesome \ This was back to the soil movement that had no agrarian foundation. It was designed to provide foothold for those slipping slowly into oblivion. It was means to an end. In Connecticut we evil dently do not believe that the end justifies the means We hope, though, that rejec- Mon of the rehabilitation program was not .based on general opposition to the New .Deal, to President Roosevelt, to the demo- Sratic party,N but on certain well-defined ideas on this program that was laid out for this state. There's difference, you .know.

No Boom Wanted

Florida, like the burnt child, has learned it's lesson. It has been doing lively tour ist business this season, as it did last, and it's real estate market shows signs of in- creasing activity. Yet the people of Flor ida are expressing the hope that this activ- ity may remain normal and not go into boom. As one Miami business leader told newspaper man:
 "We don't want another boom. Every body is afraid of it and anxious to prevent it. We don't want any more organizing. The majority of new transactions are for cash. Homes are being bought by peo- pie who expect to live in them. We won't begin to worry about the advance as long as it looks healthy. But it will be time to worry if it comes too fast"
 Perhaps it seems foolish to fight shy of quickly restored prosperity, even when 1t appears riding on boom. Yet false boom, following prices that would be too high under any circumstances, would do no one any good and might do a great many persons, or the whole nation, real harm.

A Book a Day
Hero Of West Gets All But Thanks
By BRUCE CAPTION

Before the covered wagons could get under way for Oregon, to give the growing Yankee nation toehold on the west coast, and pro vide material for the subsequent novelists and movie directors, the United States and England had to figure out just who owned oregon, and why--a process which almost brought the two nations to war.
 One of the leading figures in de- velopment of that situation was e remarkable man named pr John Mclaughlin. He was boss of the Hudson Bay Company's Pacihc coast territory, czar of q vast will derness empire, and, without ex- actly meaning to, he paved the Way for American occupation of the re- zion and made the great covered wagon epoch possible.
 He gets his dues, at last, in The White Headed Eagle," q biography by Richard c. Montgomery, and the book is an interesting sidelight on a comparatively little-known portion of American history.
 Dr Mclaughlin went to oregon in the 1820's to establish fur trad ing posts. For years his word was law throughout that vast region. The first American visitors depend- ed on his bounty; the first Amer ican missions stationed there were esta ablished with his help; the first emigrant train would have starved but for him.
 Indeed, he was so helpful that he got himself in bad with his em- ployers. He seems to have fallen in love with the Oregon country until finally he saw its develop ment as q moro important thing than the collection of furs for tho Hudson Bay Company.
 Finally, he gave up his job, be- came an American citizen and did more, probably, than any other one man to put the new American ter- ritory on its feet. Tn return, his new fellow citizens gypped him out of his land, so that he died disillu- stoned and embittered.
 This book is 6 good account of an interesting and useful llfc. Pub- lished by Macmillan, it sells, for S3.h0.

France would vote against her. This, perhaps was to be expected in view of the Layal-Mussolini concord.
 But i'm addition to this, 1t was made known that Great Britain would vote against her.
 In other words the French and British had agreed that since there were no more colonies to be doled out to Italy-except at their expense--Mussolini was to expand at the expense of the only independent country in Africa.
 So, knowing the dice were loaded, Abyssinia did not place her dispute before the Council.

 Father Coughlin is reported to be planning another barrage or telcgrams on congress.
 This time the radio priests influence will be excrted in be- half of two farm relief bills now gathering dust in committee pigeonhoies.
 The measures are: the Fra zier-Lemke farm mortgage re- financing bill; and the Thomas Massingale agricultural cost of production guarantee bill.
 The administration is opposed to both on the ground that they are inflationary. If the White House has its way they will never emerge from the senate and House agricultural commit tees to which they were referred.
 But 1t is possible that the ad- ministration will not have Its way.
 The reason is the Farmers Union, plus Father COughIin.
 The farm organization is spon- soring both measures and has an aggressive lobby at>work behind the scenes trying to force action. To aid it in blasting open the legislative doors, the Union has

IF TRIED IN ENGLAND THE TAX DODGERS
 WOULD PAY
Waterbury, Conn.

Waterbury, Conn.
 Feb 2S, 1885. Editor, Waterbury Democrat:
 The power of money to defeat the law has been demonstrated time after time in the American courts. Investigations over ths past two years have disclosed the trickery and plain dishonesty of the rich and powerful whom the rest of us were wont to look up to as great leaders. It has long been suspected that these so-called big shots did not accumulate their wealth honestly. In this they were aided and abetted by shrewd law yers who, above all others, should uphold and protect the interests of society at large.
 England from whence we de- rived most of laws does not toler-' ate legal subterfuges which defeat the spirit and intent of the law. In England there is no distinction, in law, between the rich and poor. Neither Is royalty favored. The lowliest peasant and the Prince of Wales are alike in the eyes of the law. The present King of England when he was the Prince of Wales was issued q summons to appear tn court as witness. He was going to disregard the summons but when advised that he would be cited for contempt of court and given fine and jail sentence he decided to obey the summons.
 If Mellon, Morgan, Mitchell, Wiggins and other such tax dodg- CTS were tried. in English courts not only would they pay the tax plus fines but would be liable to jail sentences as well. Insult skipped the United States because as he said, he was afraid of being persecuted. If Insult was afraid Of American law he must have felt very guilty indeed. Where else on the face of the globe could he stand trial and go free? In France the people rioted when they were swindled out of a few thousand francs. People in the United States have been swindled out of millions. Many have lost their entire life's savings through no fault of their own.
 It Is to be hoped that the gov- ernment collects every last cent from these tax manipulators who, in many instances, have already collected taxes from the people through the corporations under their control. Not only do they at. tempt to dodge their own taxes. they cheat the government out of the taxes which they collected from others.
 One hears and reads a lot of propaganda. about the so.called radicals, commonly classified as the Longs, the Coughlins, the Wheel. CTS. the Sinclairs. the LaFollettes, etc. If 1t were not for these rad. icals the so-called conservatives would ruin this nation beyond all chance of recovery.

CYCLE
 Edward J. Fitzgerald in the New York Sun) Still in the quiet hoows white drifts keep A chill remembrance of earth's wintry sleep And brown stalks lift their brittle husks to show There was d time that antedated snow. There golden time when Queen Anne's lace Danced airily above this somber place. And there will be that time again. The wind Scatters bright assurance with each seed Of blood root, meadow-sweet and silverweed. The slow revolving seasons toward birth And Spring stirs restlessly beneath the earth.

 NAMES MORAN
 In Edward Carleton Moran, Jr, Maine has a political phe- nomenon-a democrat who has carried his rock ribbed republi- can district in two successive congressional elections.
 The reason Is understandable when you read the record.
 Long before repeal was po- litically safe Moran was de- nouncing prohibition. Along with former Governor Ralph O. Brewster, now republican rep. resentative, Moran was one of the leaders in the fight against the Insull power interest when that dethroned magnate was the mighty utility ruler of the state.

 Some years ago Frederick Lib- by, noted pacifist, was billed to make d speech in town near Moran's home.
 When Libby arrived, the owner of the hall where he was to ap- pear refused him entrance. There was no other place where he could talk. Libby was prepar- ing to leave town when he re- ceived a telephone can from Moran, whom he did not know.
 'I just heard what has hap pcned to you," Moran said. 'I don't agree with your views, hut I do believe i'm your right to ex- press them. If you want to come to my town and talk, our Legion post will give you a hearing"
 Libby accepted and addressed a large audience-presided over by Moran as Legion commander.

Washington, March IA neat plan has been worked out tC kick genial J. Crawford Biggs up- stairs and out of the all-import- ant job of solicitor general of the justice department.
 The plan is to make him judge of the Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia where he will no longer have to present delicate questions of New Deal constitutiOnality before the su- premc court.
 The difficulty is, however, that no vacancy now exists on the Court of Appeals bench. To rem duced creating another judge- ship.
 This, in turn, has run afoul of Texas Representative Tom Blan- ton, who says--with some jus. tice--that no new judges are needed, that making a place for Biggs is pure extravaganza, and that once a judseship is created 1t will never be abolished.
 So far Tom has been adarnant.
 But immediately after he ex- pressed his opposition, Mrs Elan ton was invited to lunch at the White House.
 PROOF
 S Commerce Secretary Dan Roper has indisputable evidence that his campaign to publicize himself Is necessary.
 He was an honor guest the other night at d banquet in the capital. A friend introduced him to Josh Lee, rookie democratic congressman and former head of the public speaking department of the University of Oklahoma.
 "Mr Roper is secretary of commerce." the friend explained.
 Fl am glad to meet you, Mir Roper" Lee said. You are sec rotary of the Washington Cham- Der of COmmcrcc?"
 No, mo-" corrected the friend. "Nir Hooper is secretary of com merce. You know, a member Of the presidents cabinet" ANOTHER MANCHURIA
 Behind Italy's present troop movements against Abyssinia is one of the worst diplomatic deals in recent European dickering.
 Many people have guessed at 1t, but substantiating evidence is contained in the secret files of the State Department.
 When the first skirmish .oc- cured between Italian and Abyss sinian troops, Mussolini roared that Italy was in the right. Wit nesses report, however, his troops fired first, and they were on Abyssinian soil.
 These were tho reports re- ccived at the League of Nations from neutral officers who were on the spot.
 However, when Abyssinia en- deavored to place her dispute be- fore the Council of the League, 1t was subtly made known that
