He's the Boss

Tomorrow Governor Wilbur L. Cross will become in every sense of the word the governor of the State of Connecticut. Most people will wonder that he has not been that in the many years he has occu- pied the office, but anyone who is familiar with the state government knows that the office of governor has been extremely limited in actual powers. For the tlrst time since he assumed office in 1881 he IS going to be able to wield many of the prerogatives that he sought and asked for at several legislative sessions.
 Among other things he will be "boss" virtually of the money that is to be spent in the next two years. The vast pubic works construction program, entalllng many public institutions will be dictated by the governor, and with the aid of the new Public Works Department head, Robert F. Hurley AS to expenditures ln the coming biennium, we can expect them to be kept at minimum. Judging by recent remarks of the governor he is pre- pared to cut departmental expenditures when he believes it necessary to keep them within the budget.
 There should be no addition to the out standing state deficit of $l6,OOO, ,OOO, which, incidentally, will be retired when the state floats it's $25, ,000,000 bond issue, the major portion of which is to be used to retire this deficit. Governor Cross policy during the coming two years is to be pay-as-you-go, which has familiar ring. It was created by the republicans a number of years ago and made pretty good campaign cry for number of years. Unfortunately it put us in the predica- nent in which we now find ourselves confronted by the $16,000,000 deficit and faced with heavy program of public building.
 Had republicans tempered their pay as-you go policy ten years ago with . little more attention to existing needs at our many institutions they now would not necessitate expenditure, actually, of twice the $11 1000, ,0OO that probably Will be available However, we feel sure that Governor Cross with his new powers, meaning, too, added duties, will guide the state safely through this very crucial period. Every three months he will go over departmental expenditures and we don't doubt but what if these checkups show any tendency towards exceeding the budget there will be prompt action by the chief executive.

American Dictatorship

A new division Mas been formed in the State Department of the national govern ment. It is the Division of American Re- publics, and in it are merged the former Latin American and Mexican Divisions. This change is more than a move for simplification and efficiency. It is a specific application of the "good neigh bor" policy of the United States govern ment
 The nations south of the Rio Grande have had many grievances against their powerful northern neighbor. Not least ot these was the fact that we Jumped them together as Spanish or Latin American, ignoring their existence as separate na- tions The only distinguishing feature we left them was that they were quite apart from us.
 The new term may seem to be only a graceful gesture, but it's significance IS not lost on the republics whose individ- uality and position it recognizes. It puts them and us on an equal footing. We are all American epublics-North, Gen. tral or South. Popular friendship and good will between peoples are increas- ingly important elements in foreign policy today. This honest recognition of our fellow Americans is evidence that our State Department is aware of that fact

Farm Income Up

If statistics mean anything, agricul- tural recovery must be pretty nearly here. Farm income right now is higher than 1t has been in years, according to figures compiled by the Alexander Hamilton In- stitute For the first quarter of 1887, to- tai farm cash income in the United States (including $2O60OO,OOO in government benefit payments) amounted to $1 ,945,- 000,000-an increase of 28 per cent over the figures for last year.
 The encouraging thing about it is that if this increase is maintained throughout the year, farm income for 1887 will go above 10R billions-which is not only more than twice as high as the figure for the depression low, in 1882, but which tops the figure for 1929.
 It was impressed on us pretty thor oughly, during the depression, that the nation as whole does not prosper unless agriculture prospers. These figures on current farm income, therefore, are an excellent augury for continued national Well-being during 1887.

Answers To Questions
By Frederick M. Kerby

@. How can a farmer eliminate garlic flavor in milk?
 A. According to the bureau of dairy industry, U. s. department of Agriculture, it is necessary to re- move COWS from garlic-infested pas lures four to seven hours before milking to eliminate entirely the garlic flavor and odor from milk. Milch COWS should not be turned into such pastures in the spring un- til suitable forage plants are large enough to furnish good grazing.

Selected Poem
AN AMERICAN IMMORTAL

(Arthur Guiterman in the New York Times) Elephants pace and ponies prance, F. T. Barnum brings Romance. Cymbals clash and tromboneS blow, The stalons ramp with the vans in tow The huge red vans with scrolls of gold And the Snarling beasts that the cages hold Lions, tigers leopards, bears, Barnum drags from jungle lairs; The tall giraffe of mottled hide And the cames march with slouching stride, Look at the zebra team of six! Look at the monkeys playing tricks! The big bass drum makes rousing din, The tents are up, the crowds roll in; Round and round goes the grand parade, The nets are stretched, the mats are laid For acrobats who risk their lives In breathless swings and daring dives; The chariots race, the vaulter vaults, The painted clowns throw somersaultS, The stern ringmasters whiplash cracks The ladies stand on the horses backs And gallop round and ever tire But leap through hoops of flaming fire, While, like prince in his palace hall, P. T. Barnum welcomes all, Lord of the Greatest Show on Earth Giving the world it's moneys worth. I see him still at his country place, That plump old man with the shreWd, kind face Silver-croWned with curling hair, Throned on the porch in his rocking chair, Watching the Sound till the sky grows dark Watching the gulls in Seaside Park, King of the Realm of Let's Pretend P. T. Barnum, boyhood's friend!

 "SO you are from New 0r- leans, eh," he remarked jOvially. Perhaps you know an old friend of mine down there, John JOnes?"
 For the first time the boys face lighted up. "Oh, sure," he replied with enthusiasm, He's the man who's drunk all the time."

Addresses just made to graduates of preparatory schools are always well worth reading. The speakers usually can be depended upon to give the youngsters some good horse-Sense. There was no exception to the rule this June, what with Governor Wilbur L. Cross and Professor Julian Coolidge, master of Lowell College at Harvard University doing the talking. The former urged graduates of Hill School at Pottstown Pa, to "do their own think ing". He pointed out that too many of us depend on others to do our own think ing or allow ourselves to be governed ex- clusively by others thoughts without formulating single one for ourselves. Professor Coolidge said, "The duty Of gentleman is to be peculiarly conscious that society will require more of him and to be particularly sensitive to the feel ings of others. Would that more people might read and profit by the words of wisdom uttered to the thousands of young graduates this spring.

The Way of VandaIs

We were interested to read some of the things that Superintendent of Parks James Curtin had to say Monday when the playgrounds and parks of the city were officially opened for the summer season with supervised schedules. He called attention to the expense that the city is forced to every year by unknown persons who take great delight in destroy ing park equipment. Waterbury is no different than other cities in this respect. Sometimes we think we may be better off than other communities, judging by what we read in the papers.
 But, nevertheless, we get our share of property damage throughout the year. If you don't believe so, just check with the authorities. Find out, for example, how many windows are broken in school buildings during the summer months when supervision over them has relaxed. Or consult the Park Department and find out how many times it often has to re- place plants and shrubs in certain spots around the city. And real estate men could give detailed story of how vacant houses are often subjected to unbeliev- able vandalism by youngsters and young men.
 Ask the propery owner about his vacant lot which often becomes dumping ground for the refuse of the neighbor- hood. One person may start it, others soon make it habit to get rid of their debris, usually under cover of nightfall, by dumping it there. Before the property owner can take steps or precautions to prevent any more damage it has cost him pretty sum to have the rubbish removed and the land cared for. There are other ways, too, in which damage is done to public and private property by thought less boys, grownups, and half-baked in- dividuals. Self-respecting citizens and property owners should aid the authori' ties in checking all such depradations.
