Patterson:
It is hardly to be expected
that a Patterson from Illinois
would want to see a memorial
to Thomas Jefferson in the same
vicinity and of comparable pro
portions and dignity to the me
mortal to Abraham Lincoln.
But this is a united country.
The President was right in
calling your campaign a film
flam. That is what it was.
Since you have raised the is
sue, a fitting answer from the
American people would be to
start a movement to do away
with the cherry trees altogether
and plant pink dogwcods
around the two memorials.
They are prettier, the blossoms
last longer, the red berries and
foliage are lovely in the au-
tumn. and they are good old
American stock, like the two
men whom we memorabilia. =,
If you are not just a film
flam, you will print this on the
front page Of your newspaper
and let the public choose be-
tween American dogwoods and
japanese cherries (minus the
cherries).

fast for supper. And lunch was
breakfast for all those who did
an afternoon-evening spell of
work.
At that time Baldwin'S was
paying 10 cents an hour for
unskilled labor and 80 cents for
craftsmen. Thus, the wage ran
from SO to SIS per week. It
doesn't sound like much but it
went as far in those days as
twice that much does now
probably further. A StetSon
hat cost $3.50. a fairly good
suit SIS, excellent shoes $3.50
and shirts so cents apiece.

DUT the boys wanted more
ID money. And, unlike the
boys of these Rooseveltian days,
they were willing to work
harder to get it. A committee
from the shops went to the
bosses and requested that the
working shifts be made 10 hours
per day instead of eight. This
order Of things had been in ef-
feet a few years previous and
the workers, instead of hunting
a siX-hour day and getting two
more free hours, were willing
to work longer-provided. Of
course, they were paid.
The company refused and
the workers made plans to go on
strike. There were great confabs
in all the Irish boarding houses
on Callowhill, Brandywine and
Buttonwood Streets and on Fair
mount Avenue. The Irish land
ladies were in favor of the move
for wouldn't it mean that the
boys would be getting more
money and that therefore. the
board could be hitched up a
quarter a week-maybe fifty
cents?
DUT then of a sudden. the
- smart thinking Margaret
Ann got to doing a little figur-
ing. If men could use a bed in
three shifts of eight hours
apiece, that meant three board
erS to half a bed or six weekly
boarders to a whole bed. But if
the work-day became ten hours
instead of eight the whole Sleep
ing system would be shot to hell
and there would be a loss Of
about a fourth of a boarder to
half q bed per week-which,
with Margaret AIMS sixteen
beds, would mean loss of eight
boarderS per week!
Disaster!
Margaret Ann called q meet
ing Of the landladieS and
showed them how it worked out.
And as all of them slept their
men as systematically and as
rhythmically as she did-though
not in as great proportions
they saw the point. So they
talked the boys out of the strike.

After the Storm the Clearing

U. s. Attorney General Homer S. Cummings from far-away Washington, D. C., sends word to his native State of Connecticut that all is well on the Po- tomac and it is safe for U. s. Senator Augustine Lonergan to proceed with his campaign for renomination and reelec- t1on. There is apparently no New Deal opposition to the veteran Connecticut legislator, if we are to take the word of Cummings for it. And there is no rea- son to believe that MT. Cummings does not speak officially when he extends his hands in blessing over the senior senator
 Benison having been bestowed we don't know what will happen to all the opposi- tion that was forming against Senator LOnergan. What, for example, will those labor leaders up in Hartford do now with the administration obviously on the side of the candidate against whom they leveled their weapons of attack? What will John L. Lewis labor league do with its blacklist if members, such as Senator Lonergan, continue to receive semi-offi- cial approval from Washington? Having perched themselves far out on a rather slender limb, they may find themselves in the unfortunate position of not being able to budge in either direction, until the limb breaks under their weight
 Our own reaction to the endorsement of Attorney General Cummings is that it was decided some time before Senator Lonergan gave his radio speech in which he claimed that he was not anti-Roose- welt. We stated earlier that had MT Cummings intended to oppose the Loner- gan candidacy he certainly would have come right out with it before leaving Connecticut week or so ago. It was fairly obvious when he went back to Washington after number of confer ences with Democratic leaders and off cials that he must have found sentiment for Lonergan in the ascendancy
 The renomination of Senator Lonergan has been such a foregone conclusion to The Democrat that we were astonished when the first signs of opposition ap- peared. Why the party should endanger itself by throwing overheard a stalwart who has worked for it over long period of years and only achieved the senatorship after hard work is more than we could understand. Senator Lonergan's inde- pendence of thought in his first term in the Senate should make him doubly assured of renomination. Com..lcn sense is a Democratic attribute We are glad that it is asserting itself so strongly as convention time hears.

It was Governor Frank Hayes yester- day. And strange to relate. the world did not come to an end. Connecticut events transpired as they would have happened had the governorship been held by Wilbur L. Cross or any other person. This despite the dire predictions which were made few short weeks ago by the press of the state over just such an event as came to pass. It was necessary for Governor, Gross to be out of the state He had to go to Buffalo and during his absence the acting governor of the state was Frank Hayes, mayor of Waterbury. We well recall commenting when the press was moaning and groaning that in the event if Governor Cross left our midst even for overnight, the same procedure would be followed as it had in the past when Lieutenant Governor Hayes became the official head of the state government for brief moments Nothing happened, nothing could or would Fears didn't materialize. The dire predictions sound bit ridiculous now. They were to us then. The lieutenant-governor followed his customary procedure Tuesday; the added burdens of the governorship failed to produce machiavellian pursuits.

Watch It Boomerang

A misinterpreted remark of Governor Wilbur L. Cross over the weekend con- tinues to be misinterpreted by some re- publican newspapers of the state. Only the stubbornly-oppos journals have continued to make political capital of what the governor was purported to have said in reference to scandals within our midst Now if the same newspapers would only suddenly remember that what the governor referred to was the shake-up in the board of trustees who had charge of building the state hospital at Newtown the situation would be well in hand.
 The governor has called to the atten- ton of the state at large that it required the assistance of a Democratic Attorney General (present Superior Court Judge, Edward J. Daly) to put stop to scandals involving sale of materials to state institutions Oddly enough we remem- Der quite we'll that in Fairfield County again such scandal was unearthed some few years ago. When the State Hospital was being built, it was brought to light that trustee had profited by sale of materials which sales he might possibly have not secured save for his official position.
 While this brief furry failed to attract the attention of the public like the latter scandals, involving the Merritt Parkway and the Waterbury city government, still it had it's day in the sun and must be recalled It was to such events as this that the governor had reference in his remarks last weekend. He has clarified his statement by two explanations Per- haps he will come forward with a third one, after returning home from Buffalo, in which names, places, and dates will be mentioned After that there should be no need of anything more being said.

The filing of the proposed plan for reorganization of the Connecti- cut Company, in connection with the New Haven Railroads bank ruptcy proceedings, adds belated last chapter to the orgy of railroad spending that began in the days of the late Charles S.. Mellen.
 The capital stock of the company now stands at substantially twenty millions of dollars. Under the reor- ganization proposal it would be re- duced to $2,100,000, or almost 90 percent. Debt of $20,000,000 owed largely to the New Haven Road would be cut 75 percent.
 The reduction in capital does not entirely represent taking out the water that was poured into the or ganization during the Mellen days, but it does to very large extent.
 The New Haven was out to estab- fish transportation monopoly and the result was believed to be worth attaining, whatever the cost. Ii bought the Boston & Maine and bought steamship lines. Street rail- ways were being built and were flourishing. The owners had no de- sire to sell and would do SO only upon terms that enabled their stock

Governmental immunity for commun- ities and states was roundly assailed in New Haven this week by U. S. Commis- sioner Robert Alcorn. He called for change in the present laws which exempt forms of government from damage claims where public vehicles have been involved in accidents. In towns this in- wolves, chiefly, fire apparatus. A city is liable when it creates nuisance, claimed the commissioner in his attack on the immunity clause. Many times it does seem as if such immunity works a hard ship on a person whose car has been in- Jured by fire truck, but the claim of immunity lies in the performance of governmental function.
