Next To Panama Canal

What has been described as the greatest waterway project of the United States government since the opening of the Pan- anna Canal was launched this week when President Franklin D. Roosevelt set aside $5 100000 from the $4,000,000000 work relief fund for construction of a 3O-foot channel across Florida linking the Atlantic Ocean with the Gulf of Mexico. And his tory repeats itself, for it was another Roosevelt who was largely responsible for construction of the Panama Canal, the late Theodore Roosevelt.
 The $5,0O0,000 that President Roosevelt authorized will not, however, pay for this project. It's much bigger than that. It's going to cost Uncle Sam almost three times that amount before the job is finished. At least that's the way U. s. Army engineers figure it out. Proposed two years ago the job has long been central point of con- troversy, particularly in the state which it will divide. Northern Florida wants it; southern Florida is opposed. The main point in it's favor seems to be the facts that it win cut sailing time between gulf ports and Atlantic Coast seaports two to three days; also it lessens the dangers of round- ing the states southern coast
 The opponents chief point lay in the fact that the plan is to dredge the channel down deep enough so that it will be at sea 1evel and hence would allow salt water to flow through from one side of the state to the other. This is said to endanger the entire citrus fruit crop of Florida, as well as the states fresh water supply. Evident ly this charge was not proved as the gov ernment would not undertake any project that contemplated such sweeping destruc- ton as this. As an engineering project the canal should attract the eyes of the world.

A Thought for Today
The Cost May Jump

Although the last time that state and county officials held get-together on the Merritt Parkway it was decided that the estimated cost of the project would be $20,000,000, it now appears likely that the cost is going to be more than that. Con- necticut officialdom evidently was count ing on Washington officialdom jumping at the chance to finance part of the park way cost with open arms. And that's just what didn't happen. In fact there is a lot of pickering back and forth to be done to get even the best part of the S9,000,000 grant that Uncle Sam was to send up here.
 Here's where the PWA or the WPA officials picked up on us. In the estimates presented by the state $3,200,000 was stip- ulated for purchases of remaining rights of way in Fairfield county. There are six teen of the 36 miles of highway yet to be bought. However, down in Washington only $1,500,000 was approved for the purchase of rights of way. Any more money expended for this purpose will have to be provided by Connecticut And Washington suggests that this be done by utilizing some of the remaining :$4,D00,0OO in bonds that the state can issue.
 The explanation is simple. The state plans to issue Fairfield county bonds to'the extent of $11,000000 with the federal grant of $9,000,000 bringing the total highway cost up to $20,000,000. But the state has the right to issue bonds to the amount of $15,000,000 because the Legs- lature gave such authorization at it's ses- sion this spring. Therefore, it looks as if Washington might insist that if the fed eral government was going to donate $9,000,0OO, the state or county can afford to go in for $15,O00,00O. We hope the state and federal governments won't come to blows over these extra few millions.

Clean Chimneys

One of the nations largest newspapers is starting a department to be called Friend of the Coal User." It is for the benefit of householders, flat owners, and industrial plants. A daily column will dis cuss economical firing, proper insulation and general, heating problems. Readers inquiries about home furnace problems will be answered in the column.
 It will be surprising if this service does not find immediate popularity. One of the many inefficiencies of the industrial era has been the improper use of coal Far too much valuable material has gone up industrial and domestic chimneys, black ening the sky, damaging buildings and vegetation and impairing human health. There have been movements in recent years in many communities aimed directly at smoke elimination through efficient coal consumption. They have made consider able progress, but much more remains to be done. The individual householder has not realized his responsibility to the public or his opportunity to reduce fuel bills by proper firing of his own furnace.

Hear ye, all you Connecticut shore va cationers and act accordingly. Warren J.. Scott, engineer of the State Department of Health, has just declared that the Sound waters from New Haven down to Bridge port are the worst contaminated along our entire coastline. A study of pollution of waters of Long Island Sound over con- siderable number of years resulted in such a finding. The strip of shore between Guiford and New London gets the best rating of the department. Greenwich and Norwalk are also given good ratings. And the only solution for the situation, so Mr.. Scott says, is establishment of more sew age disposal plants by those communi- ties responsible for the sad condition of the waters. And this should also apply to inland waters which also are in deplorable condition in many places.

Senators Abroad

One of the latest efforts of Senator Robert M. La Toilette of Wisconsin may look, to his colleagues little like treason against the Senate. He is trying to pre- vent senators from representing the United States government abroad, or rpe- resenting the Senate itself, or giving any impression that they are doing so. He wants senators when touring in other countries to conduct themselves merely as individual citizens
 This is a difficult reform to accomplish. Irreverent newspapermen at Washington have saying that "a senator sits next to God" Our senators have often given that impression abroad. Foreign statesmen and journalists are all the more likely to take their visits and utterances seriously because the Senate has so much to do with controlling the foreign policy of this country.
 The unfortunate thing about it is that foreigners too often exaggerate this func- tion, and touring senators encourage them in it. The Senate has, constitutionally, veto on foreign policy measures, but the Constitution gives the President the initia-

No More Dole

Abandonment of the federal dole by November l, announced early in August by Relief Administrator Hopkins, is an ad- mirable slogan but may be an impossible ideal. Even so, it deserves the fullest possible support. The federal govern ment, with it's $4,O00,O00, ,00O work relief fund, is trying to take over all the employ able workers now idle, leaving the state and local governments, supplemented by private charity, to care for the rest. The wages paid, as rule, are rather low, but the beneficiaries can probably live on them. The pouring of so vast sum of money into circulation means a watering of the economic grass-roots that should help nightly to revive business.
 Here is the greatest priming of the en- ployment motor in history. The federal prming is to continue until the end of next June. By that time the government relief funds will be exhausted, and the ad- ministration assumes that the country can carry on thereafter from the impetus given, without it's direct help.
 We shall know more about that next summer. Meanwhile attention will be cen- tered on these next two crucial months. If the combined effort fails, then the fed eral government as usual will have to take up the slacks. For every reason it is irl- portant for minor political units, and for private philanthropy and business enter prise, to help along the big push. If it fails we shall be in the dole business indefinitely

Those who like to travel over routes that are highly historic should keep in mind trip over Braddock's Trail. Call ing on your history you recall that Brad dock made rather famous trip across Pennsylvania. It was a one-way trip for him. He didn't return. But Cumberland Road, Braddock's Trail or plain U. $. Route 40 is supposed to follow Braddock's route to defeat, an ignominous one, too. The road was first authorized by the U. $. government in 1906 and work started in 1911. It was long time in the making, but ultimately served to good purpose in
 bringing into the unsettled West many pioneers.

Larkin and Palomba Entente at Q secret meeting is no asset for Major Burrall, nor can he expect the vote of the laboring class, when he is endorsed by the Manufacturing Association. Nor the vote of the large Catholic population after his religious antagonism of Al Smith in 1928.
 However, MT. Pape and Chair man Palomba have an ace in the hole Git is in the cards) a Roger Connor 70 threaten the democrats chances, and the Pape papers laud him highly for his opening speech before 150 children in the North End. If elected, (and he himself knows the futility of such a possi- bility) he will bend his efforts to- wards playgrounds. No doubt he will have a flying trapeze for Luddy Burke in Library park, and three ring circus for himself and the rest of the town clowns to romp around in their ridiculous roles.
 MT. Palomba has returned with a bag of tricks from New York in- cluding the block system. He is having a great laugh on John Crary for making fifteen hundred new voters for his party. but re- member: He who laughs last, laughs, and laughs some more. Go see MT. Crary Fred and ask him to let you take his little book How to be happy though chairman" You will ind him a very congenial man. and a good sport win or lose. .,
 Well, 1t won't be long now. when the voters of Waterbury will show MT. Palomba that his weak efforts and Pape'sf dirty press do. not change the 4colors of loyal red blooded citizens of this renowned democratic city.

MAYOR HAYES ENDORSEMENT UNANIMOUS BUT FOR THE
 PAPE PAPERS

Waterbury, Conn.,,
 September 6. 1885. Editor of The Democrat: Running the city of Waterbury. is a mans job.
 The voting public of Waterbury includes some very fine citizens who appreciate the fact that their af- fairs are in the hands of very cap able and proven business men, and who will welcome the opportunity of showing Mayor Hayes and his colleagues that they greatly appre- ciate the untiring efforts of the ad" ministration in pulling them through this depression in such a manner that 1t has set an example to the entire country. Neighboring cities have been obliged to resort to paying in script and the unfortun- ate poor have suffered until hard ship.
 The burden of carrying the charity department for the last six years is the only reason the tax rate of this city has not been re- duced more than 1t has, and Frank Hayes is not the man to neglect the poor. .e
 This is no time for creating a position for Major Burrall simply because the Ring Company closed it's doors, no more than 1t was time to do the same for George Tracy and for Andy Cooney. We need stronghearted, tried and proven, successful business men. Mayor Hayes has in his posses sion letters from prominent re- publicans assuring him that they are with him 100 per cent. Know ing that he has an unbelfish pur- pose in seeking for the fourth time the mayoralty, and that is civic pride.
 He also has the assurance of four families of the so-calied third party candidates, that because the black sheep has deserted and betrayed is no reason to expect disloyaity from | them.
 Candidly I believe Mayor Hayes would have the endorsement of both major parties were 1t not for the two Pape papers who have re- sorted to every method be 1t fair or foul to aiscreAit the adminlstra- ton and disrupt the democratic party.
 Being endorsed by the Pape,

Occasionally you open what you fear will be dry drawn-out trea- tise on some complicated scientific subject, only to discover a mint of highly interesting and little- known facts buried within 1t.
 Such is rthe category in which you may put "Anecdotal History of the Science of Sound" by Professor c. Miller, of the Case School of Ap- piled Science in Cleveland. He
 You might think this little book would be of interest only to those who are devoting themselves to this particular subject, but you'd be sur prised at the way Dr. Miller has ben able to inject much of the humanly interesting into his work For instance: he tells of con- versation he had with Mrs. Alex ander Graham Bell, wife of the fla nous inventor of the telephone only to discover later that she was deaf and had ben deaf since the age of 4! And we marvel to- day at Helen Keller!
 As for the unusual. the 100-page history is filled with 1t. Such as that Pythagoras had an idea of the science of harmonics as early af $50 B. C.; that !Vitruvius, in 60 B. C., studied acoustics in thea ters, which was not fully developed until the time of Joseph Henry, less than 100 years ago; that Calico was first to esta blish the principles of sound; that Sir Isaac Newton related color to sound, an idea that is just being tried out to-day; that the flute the simplest of wind in- struments and the first used by man. is difficult to measure up for a given note. and that other wind Instruments are even more difii- cult; that Edisons phonograph was anticipated by 20 years. by one Leon Scott; and so on.

Selected Poem
THE SNAKE.

THE SNAKE. Eleanor Alletta Chaffee in The New York Sun The grass blades, stirred by what went past, Trembed a moment. then stood fast; And from the miniature wood there rose A slender head, and eyes that chose To look me as nothing Than fern stone or sycamore. He looked at me and at him: His jeweled glances seemed to swim With score of heavy footed man. Then suddenly, within the span Of one brief instant, he was gone Unmoved, uncrushed, the grass blades shone And gave sign of what went through Their stalks as swift shadows do.

Waterbury, Conn. Sept. 5. 1895. Editor of The Democrat:

Il the Waterbury American wants tt toss its political mudpies this way and that it might better get thu facts before so doing" My neigh. bors think Ed. that the preceding statement is a little masterpiece oi logic and common sense. We'll 1t has been the cause of our con. version from Independent Democ. racy to regular Democracy. We mean locally.
 We think MT. Connor ought to give this editorial second glance IL ID n BoOu hIVHtdt SAhAt0t @As Also 1t Is an excellent mental food as a remedy for unsound thought. A month ago we were staunch In- dependent Democrats. but Roger now has us in a state of political confusion. The next thing we know the Ind. Dems will be singing Let Me Call You Sweetheart"

 If you don't hop on our po- ,

 In conclusion, The Democrat has persuaded us that the Isolation hospital as 8 political issue against Hayes was a nonentity. We also believe . that pr. Godfrey will kayo the T.
