TOOTHPICK TOPICS

(By c. C. FLINT)


l am not superstitious and do
not place any significance IN the
loss of a crown ornament from
the bier of George V, during the
funeral mach. Nor can / feel that
there is anything supernatural IN
the incident mentioned by Preston
Grover, relative to the Punishment
of Lincoln's portrait from the
White House cabinet room.
1t may have been entirely acci-
dental that a canvas of Thomas
jefferson has replaced that of the
Great Emancipation. 1t is even
possible that the Lincoln picture
is being restored and furnished
up for its old place on the wall.
At the same time, it has been
the custom at the White House to,
''leave things lie" 1t is not likely
that the pictures position would
have been changed without spe-
cial orders. However, as the gold
piano has been replaced, as being
too ornate, it is possible that the
decorators decided against having
two great emancipators' in one
room.
There is an awesome and in
spring aspect in the rugged face
of Honest Abe" He looks at you,
from his portrait, with searching
glance, as if to say: 81 died trying
to save and preserve my country's
immortal heritage, of unity; fight
ing, alone, the factions that would
have split her. The Union, both
physical and moral, of our Unit
ed States must be preserved as
our wise forefathers intended it. "
If that is my reading of Lin
coins portrait, as he looks down
on the present cabinet, l feel it
to be quite natural, and in keep
ing with a nice respect for the
dead, that his picture should be
removed to the attic.

Where Is Our Wandering Boy?

Remember few years ago when first mention was made of the district court plan for Connecticut? There was a stricken silence when the full purport of the plan struck legislators and other in- tereSted persons. But the reaction has been quite different It was fairly easy to knock down the district court plan in the beginning All we had to go by was the Say-So of few prominent cit izens and the records of those states where the district courts had been estab- lished and proved successful.
 Gradually, however, there came to be a pretty definite organization working for the district court. If ever it's supreme effort was to be made, it seemed as If 1887 was the opportune moment. And when legislators actually seemed recep- tive towards the outlined change in court setup the golden day was believed to be at hand. We should have been suspicious of the peace and serenity of the scene. We should have realized that the mere fact that democrats were wing for state power with republicans did not alter the fact that in setting up district courts many minor courts were upset.
 So last week So-called district court bill was passed in one branch of the
 
 Of the two actions we think that of the House in defeating the bill was the more commendable. The measure as it faced the legislators for their vote in the clos ing days was not what might be termed real district court bill. It was not what was originally proposed and what was supposed to be taking the minor courts of the state entirely out of politics as well as eliminate almost completely justice of the peace courts, roadside courts for erring motorists, and the like.
 Maybe some day Connecticut legisla- tors will get together and put across a district court bill such as Supreme Court Chief Justice William M Maltbie and other staunch advocates of the reform have urged from the very beginning. But before they do that they'll have to elim- mate the personal equation. The one we mean is that one legislative job equals one appointment.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-06-01
s. z. Poli

Waterbury always had a warm feeling for the late s. Z Poli. His death at Woodmont over the holiday weekend brings back the olden golden memories when he was the prince of theater owners in the East Waterbury was always in- cluded in the chain of cities in which Poli houses played to capacity audiences. As long back as we can remember, there was Poli therater here. Of course many can remember before that time, but Polls was about as familiar an expression Tn connection with the theater as any we know of. '''..''.
 His was truly Algerian life. He was the immigrant boy who came to this country a mere modeler in wax and clay. With this talent between him and the world he rose to the heights in the thea ter. From the first time that he decided to show his wax figures right down to the day that he opened his most magnificent theater he was the same immigrant boy who had come to America full of hope and courage. These attributes never left him; he remained the same right down to the last few years of his retirement from public life.
