Line Up The Program

Governor Wilbur L. Cross is going to be just as firm about special session of the Legislature in 1885 as he was in 1883 and 1884 when efforts were being made to have him call one. Speaking before the 6Oth annual convention of the State Fed eration of Labor in Danbury last week the governor not merely intimated, but plain ly stated that there'd be no such special session as was being demanded until some sort of program had been presented. We don't know whether the legislators would have to make this program or the pro- ponents of the special session.
 It's safe to assume though, that any legislative program to be enacted at spe- cial session that fails to win the support of democratic and republican leaders in the Senate and House would be of little use. And we aren't so sure that the best program possible could be put through by the Connecticut Legislature. As we have contended right from the beginning what is asked now is not something that has cropped up since the regular session of the Legislature adjourned.
 Our legislative needs are actually no different today than they were six months ago when the General Assembly was meet ing up in Hartford. If relief for the cit iss and towns laboring under an excessive burden of providing for unemployed could not be provided then, what right have we to expect any different treatment at the hands of the same legislators when the situations are practically the same. We personally view the special session with some scepticism, born of mere contempla- tion of previous legislative efforts.
 The governor is right in insisting that the program be mapped out before the Legislature convenes. If the several de- mands that are so pressing are presented before the lawmakers gather, perhaps the lines will be drawn sufficiently far in ad- vance so that public opinion may have some weight in deciding the issues. Upon our present state officials, representatives of the ailing communities, oppressed groups, and legislative leaders of all par ties should fall the burden of outlining the program of procedure. If they want to do this and guarantee satisfactory treat ment of the same, therell hardly be murmur against a special session.

L., Jacksonville Fla. - The government agency in charge of examining safety facil- ities of sea-going vessels is the bureau of navigation and steam boat inspection. During 1884 fiscal year, inspectors referred to the bureau 1,2O3 cases of viola tions. Of these, $50 were dis- missed. E. Y.

N., Washington, D. C.-The fact that there are more cases of suicide than of homicide in the District of Co- lumbia cannot be taken to ipdi- cate that Washington is a city of despair. In the country as whole in 1894 there were 9.5 homicides per 100000 population compared with 14.9 suicides.

According to reports from New Bri- tain rents in that city are going to under go ten per cent increase this fall, prob- ably around October 1, which is generally accepted now in good many places be- sides New York city as Moving Day. Early in the summer we heard local real estate man declare that real estate values were shortly to bound upward. Maybe this ac- tualfy is the beginning of the long-awaited property renaissance. It's about time, if it really is. There's no doubt but what property owners have suffered during the depression. It's been hard row to hoe for them and many succumbed and lost their property. Others managed to stick it out and are now hopeful that the corner has been rounded. We don't know whether the rent increase will appeal to many peo- pie, but the thought of better values will.

As matter of strict fact rents are few and far between around the town now. That condition is also true down in Nau- gatuck and we understand Bristol is in fair way of being crowded to the limit of it's housing capacity. That's encouraging, because it means there are jobs to go around. Two or three years ago anybody driving up and down certain streets in our residential section could count rents on every side as they slowly progressed up or down the thoroughfare. Not to-day, though. Go over the same street and you'll find the To Rent signs replaced by cur tains

MIR. PAPE APPARENTLY HAS CONFUSED 'ADESTE FIDELIS'
 WITH 'SEMPER ADESTE'
Waterbury, Conn.
 Sept. 6,1935.

Waterbury, Conn. Sept. 6,1935. Editor of The Democrat:
 In the mornings issue of The Republican dated Aug. 29th, MT. Pape retaliated editorially saying that he knows the real identity of the Hamilton Ave. "Adeste". He said that this "Adeste" isn't the "Semper Adeste" of Bunker Hill He said that the "Sempere" is a staunch republican. suppose that makes me a strong democrat ? We'll, his guess is radically wrong. In my defense, I wish to reveal that l am a peevish Socialist. MT. Pape has driven the confession from my good old Yankee heart Whatta man! Whatta man!
 Also, he gives me credit for my fertile imagination. Bully for you! MT. Pape, and accept the nomin- ation! l don't mean on your po- litical ticket, mean on your ed itorial flattery ticket. What ever that is? MT. Pape, your editorial criticiZing my sent Democrat ar- ticle is just the aperture I've been looking for. We mortals are fools after all.
 PsychologIcaIly speaking, 1t was easy to analyZe your mental con- dition the night you answered my article rebrtting me. That night you felt irritable, mean, waspish, irascible, touchy, snappish, testy and choleric. You could see in your minds eye that if this civic parade materialized on the night before election day that it would be the cause of sending you to your political, potential doom. Now MT. Pape, snap out of it, am l not revealing the truth? Your theology tells you that God loves the truth. I'm not a literary lady like you are, but l can plainly see your po- litical psychology is boomerang. It helps the opposition more than it hurts. Mir. Pape, this statement is indisputable, you have already elected the democratic party. Your Independent Democrat party is inr- material. That's that and the po- iitiCdl CdtS dIc HleoWlHB HI lIle open. We nave them out of the trenches. Election night you'll find yourself just another passe would be political municipal dictator. Your political psychology is old and gray,
 Send it back to the cupboard,
 With old Mother Hubbard,

J. V. WALKER TAKES EXCEP. TION TO MALICIOUS AND
 PERSONAL EPITHETS
Waterbury, Conn. Sept. z, 1885.

Waterbury, Conn.
 Sept. z, 1885. Editor of the Democrat:
 Kindly allow me to state for the benefit of a person or several per- sons who are attempting to write malicious and personal epithets during this period, prior to the city election, that an editorial presents the thoughtful views of the editor of a newspaper upon certain topics of the day. A Eood editorial is marked by the presence of keen intelligence and observation, a knowledge of men and of books, good judgment and considerable amount of feeling. Editorials may concern themselves with politics or any other subject of current inter- est.
 The writer of editorials reaches a large audience and has unusual power in influencing public opin- ion. In our local newspapers, edi- torials appear each day, on politi- cal subjects, and are read carefully by men and women who are alive to the problems of the times. The editorials, or letters, or cartoons published in some of our local newspapers are not effectively writ ten and do not bring about the de- sired result because the writer, or writers. or student artists resort to petty prattle and ignorantly forget to advocate appealing, constructive r ry.ft rta yHfn a . fairs. These persons who err, so plainly should endeavor to check themselves and try to free them- selves from the tendency of think ing that destructive criticisms are penetrating and result-getting.
 It is with regret that call to their attention the above related facts. but I see no other way to bring about change. Possibly, these people have never read the following excerpt from Ogres (Adapted) by William Makepeace Thackeray, however 1t might have the punch to affect a decided re- versal of their picayune style:
 Quote-Ogres in our days. need not be giants at all. Tn former times, and in children's books, where 1t is necessary to paint your moral in such large letters that there can be no mistake about 1t, ogres are made with that enormous nouth--with which they can swal- low down a baby, almost without using that great knife which they always carry. They are too cun- ming nowadays. They go about in society slim, small, quietly dressed, and showing no especially great appetite. In the company assem- bled in your genteel drawing-room, who bow here and there and smile in white neckcloths. you receive men who elbow through life suc- cessfully enough, but who are ogres in private: men wicked, false, ra- pacious. fiattering; cruel hectors al home, smiling courtiers abroad; causing wives, children, servants parents to tremble before them. and smiling and lowing as they bid strangers welcome to their castles. I say those are men who have crunched the bones of victim after victim, in whose closets lie skeletons picked frightfully clean l-Unquote.
 Yours sincerely, J. v. WALKER

SONGS IN THE AIR

(Charles Malam in the New York sun) Songs in the air not as new as their maker Not more new than the barytone roll of the
 breaker Beating the silence down on a broken shore Not more new than the audible hush of a meadow As the hot climbs and bob-o'-Iink wooes no
 more. And when weary of all preoccupaton And the marvellous toys of man. and the varia-
 ton Of faces and voices is duller than dust and as dry For comfort turn again to the ancient wood- land And the still songs the winds of evening die

It was enlarged to include a cen- sus of youth, and became the census of population occupation and youth.
 A schedule of questions was prepared, to be put to every household in the country by 15O,0O0 enumerators. All the machinery was set up ready to go.
 Suddenly the president was persuaded to throw the project into the discard. Advisers point ed out that:
 1. The figure would be embarrassingly large.
 2. Though the ce su would employ 150,O0O now on relief rolls, the work would last only three weeks. Then these thousands would be dumped back on relief again.
