Curly haired Huey Long, the !, arm waving orator, the fiIibus- terer, the uncrowned king of Louisiana How did he get that way? How much power dces he hold in those nervous fingers?

A Thought for Today
Where the Cleavage Comes

!. State papers have been making much of recent weeks, particularly since the close of the legislative session, of the rupture in democratic circles, as eXemplified by those who adhere to the Cross and Hayes banners respectively. There seems to be a general belief that this distinct cleavage will manifest itself right down to the day of the 1886 state convention. It is rather odd when you stop to think of the fuss and and stir that democratic leaders made over the inclusion of the name of Water bury's mayor on the 1884 ticket.
 Of course the situation sinners down to nothing more nor less than a question of democratic patronage. It is possible for democrats to, differ on the subject of ap- pointaes, where they are of the same po- litical faith. That is often done. On the other hand it has been clearly demonstrat- ed right here in Connecticut, and in recent months, too, that good democrats are SUD- posed to be encouraged by appointment of prominent republicans to prominent po- sitions of trust in the state government.
 When the republican party ruled Con- necticut they did so with an iron hand and with no regard for the feelings of the minority party on the subject of appoint ments. The latter were theirs by virtue of their control of every branch of the state government. Unfortunately they carried this winner-take-all policy into circles where politics should not enter. For years we were quick to point out that the courts ofthe state should not be regarded as part of the spells system.
 With the election of democratic gov- erner we welcomed the change in this pol icy. But we had no idea that the pendu- lum would swing quite so far in the other direction as it seemed to do this year. Re- tention of republicans in commissioner ships they have held for years means that the democratic party does not contain men with sufficient training and ability to fill such position. The same must be true of new commissionerships for which only a republican, and he an ex-senator, was judged competent. That's terrible indict- ment of the democratic party, particularly by it's leader.

Glorious Comeback

The victory of Mrs. Helen Wills Moody over her old rival, Helen Jacobs, at Vim bledon, Saturday. was one of those things that you read about. In real life they say the "champ" never comes back. That hap pens only in the story books. We'll, here's one instance where the story came true. It was glorious day for the former cham pion of all the tennis worlds in the women's division. And a splendid victory it was, too, that she achieved over the ' American champion, Miss Jacobs.
 i There is bit of sadness in the story for the latter. Thrice now she has gone into the finals at Wimbledon and thrice has she been defeated. Surely there could have been no premonition of defeat Sat- urday when she stroked her way so bravely into tie after two sets of the match had been completed. But Helen Jacobs to this writer's way of thinking never was the x equal of Helen Wills. And the Mrs. Moody who battled to win from 2-5 standing in that eventful third set was the same player of old.
 The magic touch that was hers, the same sureness of stroke, the pace, the dis tance, the power, the fleetness of foot - they all returned in one smashing blaze of glory when victory was but one game way from Miss Jacobs. And with their return went Miss Jacobs game It was as nothing before the fury of the former champions attack. We are glad to well come Mrs. Moody back to the tennis heights on which she once reigned su- preme. We sincerely hope that Miss Jacobs will key her game to even higher pitches than it has reached so that she may continue to shine with the more famous Helen.

Facing Trouble In China

Foreign intervention to restore order in North China has been suggested. Various
 Chinese factions have been fighting in
 and about Peiping, and Japanese military
 authorities are reported to be preparing
 to consult other foreign military con- nands on united international action, as provided in the Boxer protocols. The United States has the 18th regiment of regular infantry garrisoned at Tientsin-. hes had it there since the Boxer uprising of 1900--and this would be one of the for 'eign units to go into action if the Japanese plan were carried out.
 Tientsin is long way from home, and iit is hard for the average American to get very excited about what happens there. But it is 100 to one that American senti- ment. favors keeping the 18th regiment
 strictly in hs own barracks. If tho pow

heap of disuse, such institutions
 revered and worshipped as divini- ties, and institute his own practi- cal innovations to suit his needs.
 Such government based on no old world isms, but rooted on a
 screed of truth, liberty and equal- ity of opportunity, not founded in falsehood, but in actual truth and application, a government which will provide that each individual shall so far as possible get into the
 right class and stay there, and his
 children after him, and free and
 liberal education for all.
 Based upon such theory of
 world evolution, whose ultimate
 goal must be social justice for all
 races under the sun, if life is ever
 to be worth living in its higher possibilities, it would be an inter- esting study for schools, public for
 ums, and debating clubs to take up the sturdy of evolution in forms of governments, which have advanced
 or retarded world progress and hu-
 man institutions+as for example if a presidential form of government
 or parliamentary form, would
 have better suited our social growth
 or if our form of government
 would have been more beneficial to
 Italy than it's present dictatorship.
 Under such methods of study would
 be born healthy interest amongst the masses of governmental func- tions and politics, of which the great masses are now ignorant, and
 pave the way for all citizens to
 criticize the system under which they live.
 Anyway it would answer the challenge of F. Ramanathan, solici- tor-general of Ceylon, made some years ago, in relation to the causes of efficiency in civilization, who said that western science in that rela- tion, twas ignorant knowledge. As far as criticism of the leader of "The League for Social Justice !" and if he is or is not sincere, such an assumption savers of ignorant prejudice. bigotry. state of mind of an illiberal individuality, obsti- ance, and like Thomas, unbelief, lack of faith in spiritual attributes of gifted individuality. whose sole incentive is love of truth and de- sire to sacrifice self for the future of the human race. Whatever judgment posterity may pass upon Father Coughlin will matter little, but one fact stands out in his public ministry, that hA has mt forward by laanN and bounds the cause of social 1us- tice for the forgotten man.

WRITER POINTS TO SHADOW OF COMING EVENTS THAT HERALD ADVENT OF
 SOCIAL JUSTICE

Waterbury. Conn. July 6. 1885. Editor of The Democrat:
 To a cursory observer of the trend of world politics at this epoch, the thought is evolved that those entrusted with the training of the youth of today-with the minds of tomorrow-aref faced with responsibilities not appreciated by the ordinary layman, who has no vision of the past. understanding of the present, or thought of the tre- mendous undercurrents that are sweeping away the old order, and replacing 1t with an entirely new era of social evolution.
 It may be said that the nature of the coming change is scarcely un- dertsood, or recognized, but it can | be seen by those who have any kind of social consciousness, that the change is dawning over the world horizon, drawing nearer and nearer with every setting sun, and incoming tide, and it's keynote can be heard in the new rallying cry of social justice for the masses.
 It might be interpreted as the gathering clouds of the world revo- lution that will make world history for the next thousand years.
 In 1913 the Bishop of Winches- ter, reviewing the outlook in civiliz- ation emphasized the meaning of the movement which produced western civilization-the two main principles of which were, first: Gradual assertion in the history of the world, of the value of every hu- man life, second: The gradual rise to supremacy of the principle of sacrifice and service over force.
 Two movements which distin- guish the vitality and permanence of every current social and political development in civilization = and may be said to be an accurate sum- mary in the law of evolution at the base of our western civilization such as 1t Is.
 Under the banner of social jus tice can be sensed the spirit of the awakening of the forgotten giant of. industry, the Forgotten Man." of Professor William A. Sumner of Yale, which has become classic in American political economy.
 The sleeping giant once awak- ened, may naturally be expected to take stock Of his environments and question all forms of world gov- ernments that have retarded his development.

ROOSEVELT HAS ONE AGE YET UP HIS SLEEVE
 TO WIN IN '36

Waterbury, Conn.
 July 9th, 1885. Editor, the Democrat:
 President Roosevelt is running into increasing difficulties in his attempt to swing back to the lib- erals. His Public Utility Holding Co., Banking Wagner Bill-Security Commission and other legislative bills both past and pending, in- cluding the new Tax the Wealth program are meeting snags that will either render the legislation useless or to be toothless as to be practically useless.
 It was predicted two years ago that the more the President tried to compromise with the powerful money interests the more time he would be giving them to even tually undermine. his whole re- covery program. The U. S. Cham Der of Commerce, The American Liberty League and other mouth- pieces for the vested wealthy class while giving lip service were con- tinually boring from within. Noth- ing will suit them better than to see the President lose his popular ity.
 The President has one ace left and it is a big ace. The nearly s billion dollars of relief money to be expended practically as he di- rects. Without a doubt, this fund will play an important part towards his reelection. Very little of this fund is yet being expended but before the 1888 campaign gets under way we will see everyone without job working for the gov- ernment. Directly, this huge fund is for purposes Of relief but, inc directly, 1t will be timed to be spent during an election campaign and will so where the votes are most needed.

France is bit sad these days. The American tourist of former years is no more. Where Paris and other French cities and towns would play host to 30O,- 900 visitors annually that number has steadily decreased until in 1884 it reached 100000. It's even smaller than that now. And these. Americans who visit France today are not the spendthrifts as were those of the boom days. They spend spar ingly and with good knowledge of the value of the franc in American currency. 1t rather pleases this writer to learn such facts as these. Fancy 300,000 French men coming to the United States annually to spend thousands of dollars! Yes, just fancy it

It was pleasure to read the appoint ment of E. Vincent Maloney, publisher of the Waterbury Democrat, to the Con- mission designated by Governor Cross to have charge of advertising Connecticut to the world. For good many years the Democrat has espoused this cause in news and editorial. Now that the state is act ually going to interest itself in something that other states, particularly those in New England, have been doing for years it is gratifying to note that the Democrat will play some part in the development of whatever plans may be made for the ven- ture There is no doubt but what the ter centenary has made us conscious of the fact that many thousands of Americans are just waiting to learn the grandeurs of this little state of ours before coming into our midst for day, week or per haps even a month. Why should we dis appoint them or turn them in other directions?
