WINNING WITH BUCKEYES

w HEN Martin Van Buren,,
w bosom friend and successor to
fiery Andrew Jackson, undertook
to succeed himself in the White
House in the race of 1910 some
thing new in political history was
the result.
Van Buren, not only was defeat
: ed. He insured the election of
Gen. William Henry Harrison
of Ohio and he endowed Ohio with
the name of the Buckeye state,
which fiourishes today.
It all came about when the crv
was taken up by Van Buren's cam
paigners that Harrison was more
perfectly fitted to live in a log
cabin and drink hard cider than to
60 to Washington as the nations
head.
What boomerang that proved
to be!
The only background for the at
tack was that when the hero of
Tippecanoe retired from battle he
selected a site overlooking the
Ohio river in the southwestern part
of the state, built a double log
house and finished it with shining
white clapboards.
Ohioans naturally resented the
slur on their habits of living, in
Guiding the charge of tipping. Min
iature log cabins, symbolic of pio-
neer life and the vigor which
pushed civilization westward from
the more effete east, made their
appearance throughout the state.
These cabins were reproduced
from buckeye logs. So were the
canes carried by thousands of
marchers who participated in pa
rades to advance the candidacy of
Harrison. The cabins were mount
ed on wagons and within each was
a horny handed frontiersman,
quaffing hard cider.
Van Buren, was not neglected
while this was going on. He was
attacked by the Ohioans as a snob
with a penchant for European Gus
toms.
BY the time the Buckeye pa
rades popularized and spread east
of the Alleghenies, Van Buren's
managers realized their mistake
and tried in vain to stem the tide.
It was too late. Gen. Harrison
won the election, hands down, and
Ohio has been known ever since
as the Buckeye State.

Clear-Cut Issue

Voters of Connecticut are pretty much
resolved by this time whom they will vote
for on next Tuesday. Therefore what the
campaignerS may say over the weekend
isn't going to sway opinions very much
one way or the other. And most OF the
speakers will more or less summarize the
issues of the campaign as presented by
the parties contending for control OF the
state government Faced with the task
of breaking down public respect for and
confidence in a form of government
which Connecticut did not begin to real
ize until it had elected Wilbur L. Cross
to the governorship, Republicans have
resorted to the worst type OF tongue
lashing they could devise.
Fortunately for the peace of mind OF
the voters there were no Democrats who
submitted to this verbal lambaSting to
which they were subjected. From State
Chairman J. Francis Smith down to the
last man on the ticket all have replied
vigorously to the charges brought by
their opponents We think that the DEM
ocrats Jared best at this, for they showed
to the voting public that they were con-
tent to wage a good, clean campaign ana
resorted only to use Of epithets when they,
themselves, had been literally belabored
with mplimentary terms.
All Republican candidates did not
resort to this type of campaign Some
endeavored to appeal to reason or to emo
ton. We were surprised to find the COP
candidate for u. s. Senator, John Dana
her, proposing mild form of old-age
pension for Connecticut people. 1t would
have been just as well for him to come
out openly, as did candidate down the
valley and pledge himself to pension,
guaranteeing SO much every month, than
to say that the persent old age tax of So
should be earmarked for certain pur-
poses. This appeal for votes through
the medium of weekly or monthly PEN
sions won't go far in state which has
such sound-sense as Connecticut.
We can conceive no progress being
made in Connecticut by changing control
of our state government from Democratic
to Republican. We can see no good &C
complished by changing the complexion
of our congressional delegation, COM
pletely Democratic, to Republican. II
voters have concern for the future, they
will see to it that men who have made
liberal strides in recent years are re-
turned to continue their battle against
reactionary forces.

That Dream Castle

Why haven't we had this housing boom
that everybody has been looking for dur
ing the last half dozen years? If we
could talk ourselves into it, we would
have had it, long since. The subject has
been given enough columns of type to
reach from here to the moon. We have
discussed pre-fabricated houses, mass
production building methods, reSettle-
nent projects, slum clearance schemes,
and cheaper financing until everyone
concerned ought to be blue in the face.
We have been told times without number
how a building boom would get us out OF
the depression.
Yet somehow the boom has not been
forthcoming You probably could figure
out good many different reasons for
this. One of them, undoubtedly, Is the
fact that the average citizen who needs
q new house and who, conceivably, could
find the money to buy one, does not real
ize just what he can get for his money
nowadays.
There is no use denying that Mr.. Aver
age Citizen is just wee bit gun-Shy on
this matter of home building. He has lived
through home building booms in the past,
and he has confused but lively memories
OF high financing costs, high building
COnto, d11O COlIlP1ct6u pIOuuCb WHICH
sometimes didn't quite seem to be worth
all the expense. What he needs to realize
IS that things are quite a bit different
now
Life Magazine performed an excellent
service recently by devoting some % pages
to the job of bringing the average citizen
to this realization. The magazine re-
marks that financing home is both
easier and cheaper now than ever before.
Secondly, it points out that for all our
talk Of high building COSTS those costs
today average good 10 per cent below
the costs for 1926 an average" year,
any way you look at it. And lastly, it
emphasizes a fact that hardly any Of us
have realized: that the business of designs
ing and building homes has made, rela-
lively, as great strides in the last IL years
as has the business of designing and
building automobiles
BY way Of demonstration, the magazine
prints pictures and plans for the homes
that men ii different income groups can
buy. This display is abundantly worth
studying It attacks what looks like the
key log Of this building jam the ordin-
ary family mans failure to realize just

It's an Old, Old Story

The report just furnished to Governor
Wilbur L. Cross by the Legislative Conn
mission on JailS contains nothing new
In the line of recommends that we
haven't heard in the last few years. But
the report does add more weight to the
contention that Connecticut's county jail
system is inadequate and could not be
put on morally sound basis without the
expenditure Of millions of dollars. This
may seem like tremendous sum; it is.
But to make the county jails institutions
in which men and women might properly
be placed it would be necessary to rebuild
nearly every one Of them.
We have lectured about the poor facil-
tiles afforded by the county jails for a
good many years now. The Democrat
was among the first of the state news
papers to join the crusade for the elimi-
nation OF the county jail system and sub
Stitution of a jail farm. We watched the
progress of legislation tending to bring
about this change through several legis-
lative sessions. We quoted the words of
eminent jurists, such as Chief Justice
William M. Maltbie. We reported the
findings of commissions who investigated
conditions in the jails. But nothing has
yet been done to remedy these conditions.
The jailS remain much as they have been
now for many years.
Nothing should be clearer to Connec-
ticut citizens than the facts which DR..
Jerome Davis committee now brings in,
headed by such startling statement as
this: "The reports of the commission
have shown that the present jail build
ings have not only outlived their useful
ness, but are the foundation of a more
completely discredited system that has
aided materially in enlarging the so-called
criminal class !"
1t should be one important duty of the
Democratic party, if continued in power
in Connecticut, to insist on the changes
recommended in our county Jail system.
We see no longer any need for any political
group to recognize the continuation of the
county system of jails as means of being
perpetuated in power. There is only one
roadroad clear, If we are to recognize the
changes in genealogical work. It lies ahead
of us. Why change our course?

DESTROYED CHURCH AT
LEBANON HAD HIS
TORfC EXISTENCE
November 2, 1888.

November 2, 1888.
Editor, Waterbury Democrat:
The recently destroyed Lebanon
church was the last building stand
ing in the country which had been
designed by John Trumbull. Among
the parishioners were Jonathan
Trumbull, colonial governor and first
governor Of the state Of Connect
cut, the Brother Jonathan" Of
Washington's cabinet; John Truln-
bull, famous for his paintings Of
scenes depicting the early history
Of our country and his portraits Of
noted men: Jonathan Irumbull. Jr.,
NTH governor Of the state and Uni
ted States Senator; and william
williams, member Of the Continent
tai Congress and signer of the Dec
laFatioA OF Independence.
The Rev, solomon williams, DID,,
was the father not only Of william
Williams. but also Of Eliphalet, who
was pastor Of the church in East
Hartford for flfty-five years, and
E1ekial, for thirty years high sheriff
Of the Hartford county and father
Of one Of the chief Justices OF the
supreme court of Connecticut.
The Civil War governor Of the
state, Honorable William A. Buck
ingham, was born In Lebanon and
was liberal contributor to the
church. Five governors Of this state
came from Lebanon, and they
served in that capacity q total Of
thirty-seven years. No wonder the
people Of the town were accustomed
to boast, I'VE supply Norwich with
butter and cheese and the state with
governors, especially when they
want good ones"
Rev. Charnpe. the minister of the
Lebanon church today, is an ener-
getic man striving night and day to
make it possible for this historic
monument to be restored for the
town. I know if anyone outside Of
Lebanon is interested In donating
to help in the restoration of this
church, he may send his contribu-
tons direct to Rev. Howard Champe
or Clarence Geer Of Lebanon, Con-
necticut.
Very truly yours,

All dams built in the future in this state
would be compelled to be provided with
f1Shways, if the State League of Sports
mems clubs can put through law to this
effect. At a recent session in Hartford all
members agreed to support such legisla-
ton when the General Assembly conVenes
next year. 1t certainly would be big boon
to the fishermen of the state, but how
about the builders of the dam. Compelling
them to install extensive fishways (or
wouldn't they be expensive) might not
meet with their approval. And after all if
they are damming a watercourse to which
they have complete right, there may be
serious objection to conforming to a plan
which won't be of any value TO them as
property We do think, though,
that the state or local authorities ought
to have more control over dams. This was
proved by the recent hurricane which
showed many dams of faulty or flimsy
nature. Perhaps if there was state control
over such structures, it would be up to the
state to provide the fish-runs through
them.

It was good news to read that the tur-
key population of Connecticut is on the
increase. We can remember once upon
time when every farm in the state would
have it's own flock of turkeys But turkeys
were always considered hard to raise and
when embarrassing came into more pop
ularity the turkeys were relegated to the
background. But there were raiserS who
stuck to the bigger bird. Today the State
Department of Agriculture estimates 92,-
600 turkeys on Connecticut farms. Itch
field County leads with 10000. Modern
methods of raising make the chances of
rearing the poults less problematical.

Now the sun has removed delicate lens of Ice from

And once more the unmoving water reflects the

Rose haws are stained deeper red that speaks the

And slender ferns are filaments OF sheerest gold.

Only the chrysanthemums lift their tawny heads
Perennial roots, preparing for a season of Sleep
