A Thought for Today
What Every Democrat Should Know

It remained for the energetic Senator, Francis T. Maloney, of Meriden, to lay down a primer of Democratic principles for the average party member to mem- orize last night when he delivered the keynote address at the biennial state convention in Eastern Point. Just as he had two years before stirred up the huge Democratic gathering to the point where it went out and made Roosevelt land slide possible in this state, so last nlgnC did the Meriden legislator set forth Tn uncompromising language the facts that every Democrat in this state faces today.
 Senator Maloney can always be counted upon for a good talk. Last nights was no exception. He pointed out that Connec- ticut and it's chosen representatives have been loyal to President Franklin D. Roosevelt. He also pointed out that Con necticut representatives in Congress, ooth houses, have been thinkers and while standing behind the New Deal have exer- cised the great prerogative that is every Americans, freedom of speech and thought. If this was blessing in dis guise for any departure that our Sena- tors and Representatives may have made from blind adherence, it was needed solely to call attention to the fact that our office-holders are worthy of the trust placed in them.
 A really fine explanation and defini- ton of liberal Democrat was included in Senator Maloney's discourse. Somebody should take the trouble to clip it and see that the voters of this state are acquaint- ed with the calibre of men the Democra- tic convention expects to offer for sup port this fall. There was no attempt by the speakers to sway the minds of dele gates where contests for office loomed today. He spoke high praise for our governor and well he might; he showed pride in the party he represents and which has signally honored him. As a guiding influence in forming program for the 1888 campaign his words were both significant and refreshing.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-09-14

States Attorney Hugh M. Alcorn is well advised, we think, in foregoing any political ambitions this fall in favor of his task of acting as prosecutor in the local city conspiracy cases. It would have meant sacrifice of either of the two and had he accepted nomination from the Republican party he would have been duty-bound to resign as special prosecu- tor in the local trials. The two could in no conceivable manner been recon ciled. It would have been decidedly un- fair to the voters to offer as candidate a man who was engaged in what really amounts to a political vendetta, although it actually has passed beyond that stage right at the moment. We wonder, too, if MT. Alcorn's chances would have been any better this year than they were in 1884. That was a good test of his vote getting ability and he fell short of his objective, defeating Governor Wilbur |. Cross. If he was a gubernatorial candi- date this fall or senatorial he would have been obliged to bring new ammuni- tion to bear and it's hard to offer munich pal scandal trials as an allure to votes.

What Guides The Bird? Migration Period Always Brings Up Interesting Discussion of How Nature Fits Birds to
 Know Courses to Fly North
NEW YORK SUN
and South.

At this season, when the south- ward flights of migratory birds stimulate the always lively interest in the mystery of their guidance, discussion of the influences that keep them on the right path in- creases. How do birds select their destinations and lay down their routesp Are they gifted beyond menp Are they sensitive to ethereal vibrations to which man does not respondp If this is the case, what is the nature of the vibration9 Wherever there is boy with Q homing pigeon, wherever a hunter watches the wild geese above him, the problem is pondered and theory blooms abundantly.
 At present in France the effect of a new scrap iron dump at Le Pel- lerin, near Nantes, on homing pig cons is attracting much attention. The dump is 150 yards long by 60 yards wide; on @ number of occas- ions pigeons dazed and obviously at a loss on which way to proceed have been found on 1t. The watch man, Edmund Collier, himself Q pigeon fancier, has observed the birds carefully, and has found by experiment that their bewilderment continues until they have been car- ried good distance from the dump. His observations have led to reas- sertion of the theory that in flight

The farmer in 1880 had tractor, two- bottom gang blow, seven-foot tandem disk, four-section harrow and pulver- izer, two row planter and a two-row picker or harvester. Thus he could do in 69 hours what the farmer in 1855 did in 336 hours. Eight years later, with his four-row planters and cultivators and general-purpoSe tractors, he can produce an acre of corn with five labor-hours.
 And is the average farmer today six and half times as well off as his prede- cessor was in 1855? Is he prosperous, more solvent, happier, better satisfied on his farm? Ask him Tn agriculture, as in industry, there seems to be some sort of joker in the statistical works. The farmer seems better off today, on the average, than he was few years ago. The landslide from country to city seems to be slowed down lately. But the more farms are mechanized, the more the farmer becomes capitalist and indus trialist, borrowing the business mans troubles.

Colonel John O. Tilson is among the Republican StalWarts who commands considerable pre-convention attention from his party This is interesting and at the same time an indication that past service is not altogether being overlooked In this present-day attempt to sever the COP. of 1888 from the COP. of bygone years when successes were frequent and usually uninterrupted. Colonel Tilson shared in most of these successes. It is a bit strange to find him today on the outside of the political scene for in his hey-day at Washington he commanded attention and respect.
 We don't know if he will come out of the pending Republican convention with any nomination His name has been mentioned practically every year that nominations were in order, but since his retirement from Congress in 1888 we do not recall that he has been nominated for any political office by his party. And this despite the fact that when he was running for office he ranked among the topnotch vote-getters. He was never de- feated, as we recall 1t, although he may have been a victim of the late Congress- man Thomas L. Reilly of Meriden during his several successful jousts for office.
 What Colonel Tilson's chances against such willy campaigner as Governor Will bur L. Cross would be we don't know. Much would depend upon the support given by the remainder of the ticket. After ali one man cannot make ticket. Even the Democrats realize this. But in Colonel Tilson the Republicans could send out stalking horse who knows Connec- ticut politics backwards and forwards. The unfortunate part of sending an old and tried campaigner after an almost hopeless quest is the fact that 1t amounts to political death where failure is encountered

the pigeons are led to their lofts by some manifestation of electric energy and that, the iron dunn disturbed this so violently as to render them helpless.
 To one student of the subject this recalled another incident in Nantes where several years ago 200 carrier pigeons loosed in the field of a powerful wireless station were un- able to proceed while 1t was in operation, but immediately on It's suspension went of without diffl- culty. A similar effect is said to have been produced in Austria by operating wireless transmitter across the route of pigeons in flight While the transmitter was active the birds circled until they got be- yond it's field and then flew on un. hesitatingly toward the spots to which they should have gone. An- suggested that each pigeon IS "tun- cd in" to magnetic wave length of It's own loft, and loses the ray when Q powerful counterforce Is set dpi uS " tAiS auifiP hV AtS EtileEHt and wireless transmitters. Tn Eng land 1t is asserted that the radio transmitter ct Coventry dazes birds Tn the war when the buses used as cotes by the British Army were un- expectedly moved from Poperinghe to Arras, the pigeous released from them flew immediately to the old site of their homes and roasted on the exact spots where the busses had stood.
 Debate has brought out several collateral facts of interest. The Bhils of India are said to be able to spot hares e thousand feet away hidden from their eyes in the bush The magnetic white ants of Aus. tralia build their underground nests with the principal axes unerringly north and south. It has been argu. ed that dogs detect game not by the sense of smell but by magnetic waves. Perhaps the fanciers whe manage the homing pigeons used te send news matter and photographs from ships, stadiums and similar structures embodying great quanti- ties of iron may have noticed some agitation among their messages; to the uninformed the birds seem tc take of with confidence and with- out marked delay.

Progress and Trouble

The farmer who grew five acres of corn a century ago, the Department of Agri- culture finds, could plant, cultivate and harvest 100 acres today. And the mod ern farmer spends no more time or labor in producing 5000 bushels of corn now than the farmer 100 years ago did in pro- ducing 250 bushels.
 Tn the middle of the last century the corn farmer used walking plow a single-section harrow and a shovel blow for marking off rows He planted by hand. covered the seed with a hoe, culti- vated with the same one-horse shovel blow. and harvested by hand. Thus he produced an acre of corn with 33.6 labor hours. Thirty years later the average farmer had a two-bottom gang blow, disk harrow and single-row cultivator, but still harvested by hand. He could produce with less than half the labor of his predecessor. '.
 Now We have the 'all-machine age"

But the reform attempts always come to naught.
 In 1884 ATTORNEY GEN. ERAL CUMMINGS tackled the job and after months of quiet proseIyting on Capitol Hill fln- ally succeeded in putting through . bill empowering the Supreme Court to draw up . new code of rules.
 To aid 1t in this work the court appointed an advisory corn- mittee, including among others former Attorney General William D. Mitchell, Dean Charles D. Clark of the Yale law school and the late George w. Wickersham, attorney general under President Taft and head of the Hoover Law Enforcement Commission. The committee made its recommenda- tions last spring and they were approved by the entire court with the exception of Justice Brandeis.
 The new rules substitute for the old system of 4S different sets of practices lone for each State) . simple code of SS rules that will be used In all federal courts.
 Among the most important reforms is one permitting Q presiding judge to call in opposing counsel before c trial, to agree on the issues and testimony to be considered. Another innovation eliminates the endless interrup- tions by attorneys to ask excep- tions to a judges rulings. Under the old system, exceptions had to be noted for each point if 1t was to be cited in a subsequent appeal. Under the new rules lawyer may take an exception without specifically asking for one.
 To familiarize themselves with the new rules lawyers all over the country have been attending special classes organized for this purpose. Tn Washington 800 at. torneys from the Capital, Mary. land and Virginia paid $6 each to listen to 0 series of lectures by members of the advisory com.' mittee that formulated the code.

The Connecticut Merit System Associa- tion of Connecticut was active at the Democratic State Convention in Eastern Point last night and expects to be equally as active tomorrow night in New Haven when Republicans gather. The Merit System boys are hopeful of having few planks in the platform of both parties which will aid their cause quite bit Three proposals were under considera- tion. By this time the Democrats may have rejected or approved all three, but it is safe to say that whatever concessions the Democrats make to the merit system, the Republicans will follow suit.

A Book a Day
A Runner-Away Ran Into Life
 Nv RRIICE CAPTION

Two little books which ought tc please Q good many people are cur. rently available. Each one is light physically, and also in content and each Is gracefully and pleasant ly done.
 One is stephen Vincent Benet's Johnny Pye and the Fool Killer (Farrar and Rinehart: Sl).
 This is Q folk-lorish sort of short story about Johnny Pye, the New England lad who set out to run away from the fool-killer, and who In the running managed to wander oil across American life, confront the eternal mystery of human exist- ence, and become Q symbol for questing and disappointed man MT. Benet tells the story with hu- nor and tenderness, and while 1t il Q sligt enough story, it is well worth reading.
 The other booklet is "The Rubi- vat of Omar Ki-Yi," by Burgel Johnson Putnam: ei.75). This ia compilation of doggish verse, and the principal Item in it-as you may guess from the title--is an extreme ly clever parody of the poem that made Edward Fitzgerald famous.
 One verse will give the flavor of this:
 Myself when young much eager
 leisure spent
 Watching rabblt-hole with
 grim intent,
 And never knew, through ail
 those patient hours,
 He had another door where out
 he went.

UNKIND WEATHER
Boston Post)

Boston Post)
 Reports gathered from resort centres in New England indicate that the summer season, now clos ing, has been Q poor one generally.
 No doubt much of the lack of patronage was due to the disagree able weather in July, The two weeks or more of chilly, rainy weather. coming just as the season was ap- preaching It's height, put Q damper Tor many vacation plans. The beach resorts look on Labor Day as the great day of the year, but this year Labor Day, while the weather was clear and sunny, was too cool to attract throngs to the beaches.
 Good resort business depends greatly on extra warm weather in the cities. There were too many cool days when bathing was not ex- actly comfortable this past season.
