The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-01-29

for . quarter of e century Senator Wagner, Franklin Roosevelt, MisG Perkins, Senator Norris and thoee other c0liiFAdes of your earlier and better days. The glamour of your presence and the brillianee Of your personality 60 completely dOinInat- cd that gathering on last Saturday night that in the half-slaadows were concealed the lurking figures Of men who fought for twenty-five years against the principles Of gov- erntnent you espOused. Within q few feet of the table ct which you sat were members of the power trust, some of whom you denounced by name fin 1928.
 I'm sure Mfr. Hoover was with you in spirit, his chertibic face aeleana and his chubby hands applaudiiag ecstaticaliy as you repeated against MT. Roosevelt the very speech which he himself delivered against you in 1928.
 Yes, Governor smith, 1t was as difIlcult to conceive you ct that Liberty League banquet as 1t would be to imagine George Washington waving a cherry goodbye to the ragged and bleeding band at Valley Forge while he rode forth to dine in sumptuous luxury with srlug and saf1ctifnonioiis tories in nearby Philadelphia.
 Perhaps in the heat of battle sometimes our commanding 0fi1cer, President Roosevelt, has employed the wrong tactics. Perhaps there has been confusion and loss of efi- ergy. Those things always happen when human beings attempt mass operations in hurried formation under the pressure of adverse fate. But those things never yet have justified 6 change of allegiance in the face of the enemy.
 Unhappy Warrior
 It rests with no soldier who ape breaches the battlefield under the flag of his leader to retire while the war continues. Above all things he must never go over to the enemy.
 Yes, l agree with you, Governor Smith, that the democratic party belongs to no individual and no group. It cannot be purchased by the American Liberty League" !" The financial angels of the League will discover they cannot buy g monopoly over the name of free- dom ira the same way they have purchased rnonopolies over oil, coal and water power.
 Governor Smith, I've read you the record. You approved N. R. A., you approved farm relief, you urged Federal spending and public works, you urged Congress to cut red tape and confer power on the executive, you urged autocratic power for the President, and you exposed with yinerciless logic the false cry of Corl,- yinunisfn and Socialism. The New Deal was the platform of the Happy Warrior. The policies of the Liberty League have become the platform of the unhappy warrior.

Worth Attending
: EDWOOD FALLS business m

~ EDWOOD FALLS business men, their
employees and others vitally interested
in the general welfare of the city will
have an opportunity at the Civic and Com
merce association dinner Tuesday evening
to hear two men who are well versed in the
problems of the small city and will bring
very interesting and helpful messages.
John H. DeWild of the Minneapolis
Civic and Commerce association and Allen
E. MCGOWAN of the Minnesota Editorial as
sociation have visited most of the towns and
cities of Minnesota in recent years, talking
to large audiences on developments in mer-
chandising with suggestions and practical
helps. Many will remember general talks
and courses in show card writing and similar
work which they gave at the city hall here
two or three years ago.
In their wide experience and travels
they have undoubtedly seen other cities fac
ed with the same problem which the re-
vamped Civic and Commerce association is
attempting to solve, that of giving the city
an active, able, well organized and repre-
sentative civic group that can make CO.
ordinated effort to boost the city.
Persons who attend the meeting are as
sured Of good dinner and some very help
full and encouraging talks. No doubt the
strong organization needed and wanted will
get further inspiration from the meeting.

Fire Hazards

4 DISASTROUS fire such as New Ulm
~ suffered last week and the more seri-
Gus consequences which might have
resulted had not firemen braved the bitter
cold to prevent the flames from spreading

citation and respect for our firemen and the
campaigns which they wage to get rid of
fire hazards.
An innocent appearing pile Of rubbish,
an exposed pipe, old and worn out electric
wiring and dozens of similar conditions are
called to the attention of owners of proper
ty during inspections. Such warnings should
be strictly needed. A serious fire is a de-
finite setback to city, not to mention the
danger of loss of life which New Ulm fort
unately escaped.
