Getting More Support

As the days slip by and the date of the 1887 Legislature draws nearer 1t becomes more and more apparent that the fight for a state jail farm will probably come to 8 successful finish in the coming year. More and more adherentS are being found who will publicly endorse the plan and who will work actively to cause the Legislature to make the proposed and suggested changes in our present method of dealing with county jails
 Both of Waterbury's judges of the city court have added their approval to the score of court officials lined up in favor of the jail farm. We did think that the battle was won at the 1885 Legislature, but sufficient political pressure was brought to bear by republican members of the House to defeat the measure, which had previously passed successfully through the Senate and was assured of the governors signature. We feel that by next year opposition will have melted before public opinion
 There are many reasons which could be cited in the defense of the plan. Judge Mascolo proved quite conclusively last week in imposing a series of sentences on men with comparatively no court or criminal records but unfortunate enough to transgress the law with regard to in- toxication that our present system of county jails does not satisfy. From a moral standpoint there is no argument that can be preferred against the idea of scrapping the jails for farm. From an economical standpoint the jail farm is it's own argument, when compared to the costs of maintaining county jails, only one or two of which are worthy of being termed jails.

their mules straight over alternate rows with the caltlvatlng blows, tearing out the unwanted plants.
 The mules have always been trained not to tramp on cotton plants, so tt is Q terrible mental strain for them. Some of them are said to be almost complete wrecks, as a result of the psychic conflict set up. A mule may not have much of Q mind, at best; but when what mind he has is made up in a certain way, it's hard for him to change, and efforts are some times catastrophe.
 Thousands of Georgia mules from now on throughout their lives will never get it clear in their heads again which line to follow, whether to keep of the cotton or step on it. It has sometimes been observed by discriminating judges of human nature that mules are quite a little like men. Anyone who wants to carry on this line of thought might make an interesting parable out of the Georgia story. In the matter of crop limitation, for instance.

Much to Be Done

As the national convention of the democratic party opens in Philadelphia, delegates and spectators are quick to no- tice the absence of former popular idol, the Honorable Alfred E. Smith. But, though MT. Smith may be far distant from the convention hall, his shadow will be over it. Just as delegates were gather ing up their belongings to catch train for the City of Brotherly Love, the ex- governor and democratic presidential candidate unloosed blast at the Roose- welt administration that made many democrats tremble.
 They trembled not so much for the fate of the Roosevelt administration, as for the man who let it loose. There can be no question but what President Roose- welt will be renominated and Splendidly so, too. But there is just bit of sorrow among many democrats that Alfred E. Smith will not be among those celebrat- ing this renomination and this start of another democratic victory in a national election. We have been accustomed for SO many years to seeing Al Smith "reg- ular" that it's hard now to see him other wise. But perhaps we err and will be criticized for insinuating that Al isn't regular.
 We recall well the days of 1912 when the late Theodore Roosevelt, president of whom the nation was long proud, pitt ted his political strength and strategy against that of national party'S. With four years in the White House behind President Taft ex-president Roosevelt, who gave Taft his chance at the presiden- cy, sought to unSeat him. Failing this, the Bull-MooSe movement was launched and later foundered The situation today is quite similar to that of 1912. It is not a happy beginning for the convention to some old admirers of Smith.
 Perhaps more will come of his efforts to prove Roosevelt and the New Deal un- democratic than we imagine. The world of politics is always giving us fresh sur prises. On the basis of form the Presi- dent is already renominated; we regard his reelection as more of certainty as the campaign grows older; we feel that Al Smith and his cohorts united in "Stop- Roosevelt" drive are ending their own fine political careers as ingloriously as "Ted- dy" ended his.

PerpIexed Mules

Hearts go out to Georgia mules. In the region of Sparta they are reported to be in pitiful state of mind, as result of a cruel trick played on them by nature. When the cottonSeed planted early in the spring failed to grow, because of drouth, the farmers planted need seed between the cid rows. Then along came heavy rains, and all of the seed came up, n1ak- ing two rows where there should have been only one. It wouldn't do to let all the rows grow; they would have choked each other, and they couldn't be culti- vated. So the farmers have had to drive

Returns to date and estimates made reveal that Connecticut municipalities will collect more taxes this year than they did in 1885. This is based on the theory that taxes due and payable in 1886 amount to $140o00 more than those in 1885. It is, therefore, safe to assume that the total collections undoubtedly will be greater this year. No doubt, too, better conditions among many property own CTS will result not merely in the payment of the current levies, but in many cases of payments on back bills. Waterbury has been enjoying considerable success in se- curing payments of back taxes It is gratifying to any city to find that taxpay- CTS are not deliberately trying to avoid payments, but are merely forced by con- ditions to forego their assessments in order that they may live from week to week.

 A. About ninety per cent are deaf. Tho same is true of other white cats which have been bred from white stock. Deafness and ale binism are associated in all animals. Albinism is the condition in which the dark pigment is absent and the yellow nearly so. The absence of these pigments, for some unknown reason, affects unfavorahly the vis- ion and hearing of animals.

Every day we hear more about conn- memorative coins and this despite the fact that some time back Congress took it upon itself to place a ban on these. This was at the request of the Treasury Department which found officials of the Mint struggling to meet the public de- mands in these special coins. The latest we read about is one commemorating the 150th anniversary of the city charter for Lynchburg, Va. Gracing this coin will be a likeness of Senator Carter Glass, the noted Virginia legislator. Lynchburg is, incidentally, his native city. Calvin Coolidge is the only other person to be Ionored in his lifetime with such coin.

1880 the democratic convention at Charleston split into two fac- tons and Dauglas received a worthless I1ominatoin by Q two. thirds vote for his faction.
 Champ Clark
 The most vigorous effort to change the two-thirds rule--prior to that now made by Senator Bennett Clark-was made by his father Champ Clark famous speaker of the House of Repre- Sentativeg.
 Clark began as early in 1904, when he was chairman of the St. Louis convention which notn- mated Alton B. Parker. Irmmedi- ately after the nomination a tele- gram was presented-1ot unlike the one recently received from Governor Landon-which quoted Parker aS saying:
 "The gold standard is estab- llshed by law, and ! cannot ace Cept the nomination unless that plank is contained in the plat. eOrm.'
 The Free SiIverltes were furi. Ous, and Champ Clark and his Missouri delegates immediately saw Q way to take advantage of lt to Oust Parker from the nom- inatiOn.
 It was planned that Q delegate would rise to ask how the nom- ination could be rescinded. Chair. man Clark was to reply that the convention would have to suspend the two-thirds rule, which could be done by o majority vote. After suspending the two-third rule, Parker could be busted by Q majority vote.
 However, the matter was
 champ Clark later became Q victim of the two-thirds rule during the famous Baltimore con- vention of 1912. On the first bal- lot he got 0 majority and con- tinued his lead for thirty bal- lots. It was not until the 4eth ballot that Woodrow Wilson final ly won the nomination.
 Chicago In 1882
 One of the major objectives of Franklin Roosevelt at the Chi- cago convention in 1882 was to erase for all time the two-thirds rule. So much opposition de- voloped, however, that Q conn promise was proposed by Rich. ard Metcalfe of Nebraska, a Roose- velt supporter, providing for sus- pension of the two-thirds rule if nomination was not made during the first six ballots.
 This was approved by tho Rules Committee, 30 to 20, but only after strenuous lobbying by Jim Farley, Bruce Kremer oe Montana, and other RoOse- welt stalwarts. u
 Tho storm of protest cOn- tlaued, however, on the ground thats the delegates had been elected to the convention before the issue of the two-thirds rule was raised. Roosevelt finally sent Q nasty telegram to Farley to drop the fight.
 Philadelphia now sees the af- termath of this battle. If the two- thirds rule is not rescinded now, with no fight over the nornina- ton pending, 1t probably will re- main pinned around the neck of the democratic party forever.

see in this cofn-
 bination of this Wild West and John Harvard a sure defeat for President Roosevelt. Just what miracle of organization the Third Party can perform in the short span of four months which will be able to accomplish something the age-old g.o.p. has practically ad- mitted to be 8 certainty, the re- election of MT. Roosevelt, no one can envisage. At least I cannot. The result of the Schmeling- Louis brawl should serve as bucket of ice water on the pro- phetic propensities of all and sundry who are given to the very bad habit of making surc-fire pre- dictions. To me the idea of mak- ing any man who could be hit an eight-to-one favorite over another man who could hit has always seemed to be altogether silly. Nevertheless and despite the blow administered to the prestige of sporting event forecasters by the right fist of Herr schmeling, I still cannot see the probability of 9 Democratic rout at the November polls 50 far as MT. Roosevelt is concerned. To this department the introduction of the Third Ticket will serve only one pur- pose, to add interest to Q presider- tial race which up to last Friday night had all the thrilling possi- bilities of a contest between OmaA ha and a rheumatic mule. So bee cause 1t promises some addition to the gaiety of the nation I welcome to the electoral scene the newest presidential song-and-dance team, Lemke and O'Brien. Go to 1t, boys, and whatever you do be sure to include in your campaign rou- tine your own version of my fa- vorite song, "The Wedding of The Prairie Lily and the Cambridge ROse."

Does Not Jell

Some political commentators, Republican and Democratic, seem to have grown acutely jittery be- cause the nominees on the Third Ticket were introduced by Father Coughlin. A little further along in these columns I hope to consider this feature of It's presentation. That there are Q number of mal- contents in the Democratic and the Republican party is undeniable but the reasons for their malcotl- tent are as far apart as the poles. Some erstwhile Democrats, la belled conservative when in truth they should be identified as plead- CTS for their own and their friends special interests, are displeased with the national administration over what they fat-headedly de- scribe as it's socialistic c-communis- tic tendencies. Others who might ordinarily be listed as Democrats are out of sorts with President Roosevelt because he has not fol- lowed out the program and applied the theories of Father Coughlin. The residue of the political estate of the late Huey Long has been given over to Reverend Smith and might, were 1t not for Senator Longs feud with the administra- ton, be appraised as an intact ele. ment of the Democratic Solid South. But how the followers of the Rev. Smith are going to swal- low the leadership of a Catholic priest is beyond my comprehen- sion. They may hate MT. Roose- welt but the ingrained bigotry which prompted them to vote the Republican ticket because Al Smith headed the Democratic bal- lot in 1928 1t seems to me, is not going to be wiped out simply be- cause the name of Lemke Is ex- pected to take the curse off Q ticket which is sponsored by Q Coughlin. and ornamented by an O'Brien, even of the Harvard species.
