A Thought for Today


Endorsement OF Governor Wilbur l..
Cross and Senator Augustine Lonergan
BY the Democratic Town Committee this
week may have been just bit premature.
At the meeting Of the town committee II
was also stated that additional members
would probably be added 10 the group In
a week or 50. These will be representa-
tive OF the new voting districts that have
been created in the city. Instead OF
twenty, we now have thirty-two, a fact
which all voters should keep in mind this
fall, for practically every voter may find
the number OF mis- voting district differ
cnt from that Of last fall
+. We don't claim that the voices, or
votes If necessary, OF the additional town
committee membership would change the
sentiment OF the local Democratic organ
ization on the candidates. OF the governor
and senator. We hope that the same
feeling would and will prevail when there
is a meeting OF the full committee. But
we wonder II the idea may not remain In
voters minds that the present Democratic
organization is 10 continue along the
lines that proved 50 very successful in
! past campaigns, but which, by virtue OF
. present unpleasant happenings In our
midst have more or less been regarded

Upon several occasions in recent weeks
and also much earlier in the year when
no scathing indictments Of local officials
had been published we yentured the opin-
i0n that 1t might be necessary for the
Democratic party in this city 10 DO some
.reyamping We still think that public
1Opinion demands it. A primary fight
isn't the solution; it doesn't end fac
atlOnaIism. Equal representation is,
Enough, and will wipe out many difficult

see the need Of united party now when

Where Man Failed

Human ingenuity has reached high
point In this year OF 1888. Science has
given LIS many maryels. There are few
things, though, that modern civilization
hasn't been able 10 overcome One Of
them is war. Nations still enter into
them with all the fury Of their less~ciyil-
lied ancestors Of centuries ago who
fought for their very existence. Another
OF them Is human nature. IL still works
in unezplainable fashion al times. One
such time cropped up In New York City
Tuesday afternoon.
John Ward, an unemployed youth OF
20, described by the press as psyc0path,
leaped 10 his death from hotel window,
200 feet above the ground He had
perched on narrow ledge outside his
room for eleven hours before he com
mitted suicide, During all the time he
spent on the ledge authorities we're con
irving ways and means Of getting him
back 10 safety or preventing his fatal
leap, They failed 10 produce an idea
during all that time which could change
the course OF events.
Every sort Ut persuasion Was brought
TO bear on the youth, too. But he was
convinced that life no longer held any
thing for him, 50 he chose 10 end II.
Tragic7 OF course IL Was. Dramatic2 Very
much so. And what We are seeking 10

For years the commentators have been

thousand dollar car of yesterycar. II is
smoother and easier TO drive easier to
ride In and requires fewer and less ex-
penslve repairs Houses, however, remain
much as they were.
The fruit Of all this demand for better
and cheaper houses now begins 10 be seen
Take, for instance a house built in 1925
at q cost OF $9,970. 1t contained 81 900
cubic feet, costing At IL cents per cubic
foot. Compare with this house built in
1898 at q total cost OF $4,000. II has
1873 cubic feet, at a cost of 43 cnts per
cubic feet. Here is slight gain 10 begin
with.
But the 1888 house has gas-fired air.

sanitas on kitchen walls and bathroom
ceilings, pastered basement ceiling,

come 10 about 81, 900. In other words,
