How About Bearing Down?

We know that this is the season of glad tidings. Everyones cup of cheer is sup posed to be overflowing. Kindly thought for ones neighbors and ones worst ene- mics should be entertained. The spirit of give and receive is in the air. But how about those motor vehicle tests which are ending in number of Connecticut cities tomorrow. Judging by the figures that have been revealed to date, there are number of delinquents, just as there have been on the two previous occasions that the State Motor Vehicle Department conducted the tests.
 Probably some of the delinquents this time will be the same ones who didn't take their cars through the inspection lane earlier this year or in 1885. All of which sort of grinds on the sensitive feelings of the car owner who was prompt to have bis car checked and approved. Even the feeling that he has been a good citizen and cooperated with the authorities in promoting highway safety won't convince this man that he may not be regarded as sucker" in the eyes of the "gent" who successfully skipped and intends to keep on skipping all the tests.
 As We say little is heard after the h. spections end about those who were de hnquent. Six months ago 1t was said that

Real Recovery

Evidence that the industrial recovery now under way is really substantial is contained in a recent report by the U. s. Chamber of Commerce.
 Noting the gains that have been made since May, 1885, the chambers report re- marks that "it is necessary to go back g. decade to find another period in which business momentum had within itself equal clements of strength"
 Furthermore, the improvement is bal anced. The relation of capital goods pro- duction to consumer goods production is now approximately 90 to 100; and, as the yeport points out, "an advance which permits such improvements in balance Smong fields of enterprise obviously pro- suces an increasingly strong basis for lhe future"
 Apparently we can face the future with | good deal of confidence. Unless some Nning unforeseen turns up, we should have some years of better and better times ahead of us.

Show The Way

The testimonial dinner to Governor Wilbur L. Cross in New Haven WedneS- day night gave democratic notables chance to go over the recent election and to discuss just what steps should be taken to keep the party in power and at the same time render to the citizens of Connecticut the proper service that democrats, as minority party, have been demanding for years. Prominently men, tioned at the victory celebration was reorganization of the state governors. We expect much of the democrats in this field of activity, one that has long been neglected; demands thorough and imme- diate attention.
 We can recall that it was Governor Cross himself who first voiced the need for departmental reorganization. It fell on deaf ears, for when Governor Cross was elected in 1880 there were few repub- licans who didn't regard it as mistake that would speedily be rectified. Even his reelection two years later failed to con- vince republicans of the need of regard ing events as casting long and dark shadows. However, two years ago there was begrudging acceptance of the gov ernor's continued insistence on reforms in government.
  now studying the situation in our state departments. It is expected to report it's findings to the incoming Legislature. Who knows but what Governor Crosss remarks in New Haven were but taste O, what is to come from the commission itself. When republican members of the 1885 General Assembly pressed Governor Cross for specific changes he would make m our present departmental set-up, he Abstained from any lengthy discussion of the same. That was right in view of the fact that such comment would have been made political football of by the Legislature. f
 It was with some reluctance that the commission to study the need of reor- gnnization finally was named. But that it's report will be urged upon the 1887 Legislature we cannot doubt after reading what Governor Cross had to say down in New Haven. Who knows but what this may be a partial means towards accom- plishing the tremendous building pro- gram that Connecticut is expected to launch next year. Where money can be saved in government, Connecticut needs to save it.

 New Try
 Irked by the legal loopholes and official procrastination, A. P. of L. leaders are planning to storm the new Congress with de- 1nands for more explicit language in the law.
 They will ask that the clause ! prevailing wages in the locality" be eliminated and the wording union wages" or prevailing wag- G in the industry" be sustituted.
 Such revision, they believe, would put an end to the condi- tions that are turning their pct into a prize gold brick.

It remained, however, for our own mayor and lieutenant-governor, Frank Hayes, to offer as sound advice to the as- senbled democrats as any we heard all evening. He pointed out the fact that the democrats owed it to their constitu- ents to provide them with real service and not lip service. Only by such tactics as this will the democratic party, as it is now constituted, continue to retain con- trol of our state government. An auto cratic form of government will prove disastrous What the people now want is forward-looking government with em- phasis laid on giving the taxpayers a break"

Impetus to the movement to return Senator Augustine Lonergan of Hartford to Washington in 1888 when his term will expire was lent at the democratic victory celebration in New Haven Wednesday night. Speaking of his colleague in Washington Senator Francis T. Maloney of Meriden said, we look eagerly to the election of 1888 when we return his asso- ciates with him Gov. Cross) to lasting victory and with Gus" Lonergan to make it complete. ." Several weeks back Senator Lonergan announced from his offices in Connecticut that he expect ed to be candidate to succeed himself when his present term expires. It was regarded in democratic circles as check on the senatorial embitions of some democrats of this state who figured that the sensational victory just achieved gave them the right to expect that any present incumbents might withdraw in their behalf at the proper moment. It's good to see democratic leaders seeing eye to eye on the future.

Regarding the weather we have been enjoying the past week, just think what it would have been like had the rain been snow. Fortunate, indeed, we are that the precipitations came in the form it did. And may we point out that some of the portents for this month, so far as weather is concerned, have failed. We're not too pessimistic for the coming winter months, but if the percentage of wrong guesses in January and February ranks with that of December, we don't have to worry.

A Book a Day
Wodehouse Writes New Rib-Tickler
BY BRUCE CATION

If you have been suspecting that the entire Simpson story was writ ten by that old maestro, P. G. Wode- house, I must inform you that you are wrong. MT. Wodehorse has been otherwise occupied, and the fruit of his labors is a new novel, Laughing Gas" (Doubleday-Doran $2), which is as richly humorous as you would care to laugh over.
 For a man who writes by formula and grinds out novels in never-end- ing progression, MT. Wodehouse manages to keep amazingly fresh and unspoiled. He never seems to grow stale, and his silly characters are just as funny as they ever were.
 If there is any prize available for people who cement better feelings between the republic and the empir, MT Wod house ought to win 1t hands down.
 Laughing Gas" tells about a muscular British earl who goes to Hollywood to rescue a highly born cousin from the tolls of a mivie- land charmer. Arriging, the earl im- mediately falls into the tolls him. self, and then-in a twist which MT. Wodehouse must have borrowed from the late Thorne Smith--suffers Ia psychic exchange of personalities and wakes up to find himself occu- pying the body of Q famous, and obnoxious, child movie star.
 What happens after that is quite impossible to relate in the confines of Q brief review. It should be enough to ramark that the situation gives MT. Wodehouse ample oppor- tunity to poke fun at Hollywood and that Hollywood is an ideal field s@ Ar. Wodehouse's talents. 1he rsssat ie an ueFsaxisusly funny book. Ecu might keep it in mind. incidentally. as . swelegant ! Chgistmas gift.

The People Know

Dr. George Gallup, who makes a busi- ness of polling public opinion, tells a lecture audience that in the recent cam paign there was one straw vote absolutely right. That was secret poll he had taken shortly before the election, which never published. The experts all guessed wrong, in varying degrees, on the per centage of votes that would go to Landop and Roosevelt But one fellow who has never pretended to be an expert hit the nail right on the head. He was John Q. Public.
 It was this way. The Gallup organiza- ton asked their usual crosS-section of the American people, in every state, not whom they wanted to win, but who they thought would win. The replies varied greatly from class to class, section to section, state to state. But when they were added up, they gave the two presi- dential candidates exactly the percent ages of the popular vote that the final election tally showed. An interesting detail was that only in Maine and Yer mont did majority of the straw voters think Landon would win.
 This revelation will start many reader to thinking, as it did Dr. Gallup himself How was it that, with such varied, con- flicting viewpoints and opinions, the public as a whole guessed with such uncanny accuracy? The public as whole, Gallup is inclined to think, gen. erally knows. People individually and in groups and classes may be wrong Every citizen by himself might be wrong. But taken together, they are likely to be right. The sum total of their conflicting view points and opinions gives the accurate view and the sound judgment.
 Thus the average opinion or person. what Walt Whitman called "the divine average" - is right. And this is the jus tification of democracy. As whole, we know better what is good for us than any party, class or statesman knows.

Strike Breakers

Strike Breakers
 The exposures already made by the United States Senate com- mittee, whose chairman is Sen" ator Bob LaFollette, of the rami- fications of the strike breaking business in this country and the confessions made to the National Labor Relations Board by pro fessional strike breakers have not received the publicity they de- serve. First the national election campaign crowded them of the front pages of the newspapers. After that the Windsor Simpson hullabaloo kept them in the back ground. The LaFollette commit tee has suspended its hearings until the next session of Congress appropriAtes more money to carry on but the Labor Board is still ac- cumulating evidence which makes interesting, = and shocking, = reading. There are any number of organizations hourishing in this broad land which make it . business to break strikes by fur- nishing thugs, criminals, and forty-minute eggs to take the places of striking workers. Some of them have grandiloquent titles like "The Railway Audit and In- spection Company" and "The Al- lied Corporation Service" etc. etc. Others disguise themselves as pri- vate detective agencies. The best known of the latter is the Pearl Louis Bergof Bureau, which de- spite its directors ladylike first name, is a very tough outfit in- deed. Pearl guarantees to break any kind of a strike, any size. any place, any time. And break 1t into pieces 50 small they cannot be swept up. There is not space to set forth the various ways the busting is done nor the weapons used, from tear and nausea gas to dynamite and machine guns. Nor is there room to print the list of the professional strike breakers. Some of them however, are too beautiful to go unmentioned: Chicken Dinner" Kuhl, Live Steam" McDade, and the prize of the herd, Samuel "Chowder- Head" Cohen, whose net weight after a bath is 260 pounds av- oirdupois.

Thereupon John Hanson of Mary land was elected president of the congress and was addressed as President of the United States. Hence, he is sometimes referred to as the first president of the United States.

Return Engagement

With the purport of a sitting down strike taking place during the opening weeks of the coming General Assembly and the mem ory of "Chowderhead's" recent visit to Middletown fresh in mind. the thought occurred to me that if such & situation does arise in Hartford in January there might be chance for Pearl Bergoh. Chicken Dinner" Kuhl, Live Steam" McDade, and Samuel "Chowderhead" Cohen to turn an honest dollar by breaking the strike. In one way I would like to sec the strike breakers move in. Because the only effective way to destroy forever an outgrowth of our present industrial system, Gan outgrowth for whose foulness, vi- ciousness, and deadly possibilities there is no adequate description). Is to let the "finks" and "nobles" of the labor underworld go to scabbing on the legislators. Then we will get some real action.
