Cheney Won His Fame
In Prosperous Litchfield

Certain New England towns, more pros
porous than others, naturally attracted
skilled craftsmen, since they offered a
clientele able to buy the finer household
appointments. Such was Litchfield, Conn.,,
first settled in 1920, writes Thomas H.
Ormsbee in American Collector To Litch-
field, before 1899, came a well-trained
CABINET maker and in the following %
years made wide variety of furniture.
He was Silas E. Cheney, who was born in
East Hartford (now Manchester) February
IL, 1776, and who died in Litchf1eld Sep
tember II, 1921.
How, why and where this young man
learned the trade of furniture making we
do not know. His two uncles, BENJAMIN
and Timothy Cheney, were master clock
makers and the former, at least, trained
MS sons IN his trade. Nor could young
Silas nave learned cabinet making from
his father, Silas B. Cheney, for his call
ing. the records indicate, was that of
operator Of the sawmill which his father,
Benjamin Cheney Oborn Newbury, Mass,
l689), established at East Hartford early
in the 18th century and continued to own
until his death in 1761.
Silas E. Cheney may have learned his
trade in his native town or he may have
served his apprenticeship under Aaron
Chaplin or other master craftsmen of
Hartford. Once established in Ltchfield,
however, information regarding his work
becomes definite. Although he did not
label his pieces, it is possible to identify a
number Of them from exact records in his
own handwriting. This has been done
through Cheneys first account books, which

Naturally our sympathies are with an as
saulted people and naturally We resent any
attack upon even one or two of our own
people. But We must not forget that the
people Of Japan are not themselves re-
sponsible for the invasion of China They
are mostly peaceful farmers and workers
and they do not understand the causes
Of their war any more than We understood
the World War in 1917.
Let us try to persuade the rest of the
world for peace-but let us not be deluded
again into taking up arms to procure peace
for the rest of the world. That way lies
heartbreak. Our main duty to ourselves
is to safeguard peace for ourselves. Let
us not be mass murderers.

To tho Editor of The Star.


To the Editor of The Star:
QUOTING David Lawrence: VERY little
has been made public about the
extraordinary drive that has been insti-
tuted by the administration against the
biggest automobile manufacturers in the
country General Motors, Chrysler Corp
and Ford Motor Coz, which, if not aban-
doned, will merely add to the unemploy-
ment in Americas largest industry, forcing
layoffs Of workmen in production plants
far and wide. Nor has much been dis
closed either about the methods -amount-
ing in some respects to blackmail-which
have been practiced by Federal officials to
compel automobile manufacturers to agree
to plan sponsored by the administration. :"
Laying aside the real controversy be-
tween the Department of Justice and the
manufacturers. more important issue has
been raised, viz: The attempt of the admin
istration to control the decision of a Fed
eral judge, and failing, to ask CONGRESS to
impeach him. This is persecution. The
judge exercised his own judgment in dis
missing grand jury that had not returned
indictments against the manufacturers.
Who can have any faith in the attempts
Of the administration to induce co-oper-
alton Of business to end the depression2 ,

Coming Year to Answer Riddle
OF Democratic Party Control
1888 Primaries to Reveal Whether Old Traditions
or Roosevelt's Centralized Authority
Sit in Saddle
Sit in Saddle.
BY MARK SULLIVAN.

4 MONG questions that New Year
~ speculations deal with, one, Of
n course, stands out above all Others
Because it is intricate, it will re-
quire paragraph to state it:
Throughout the world there is ten
dency away from democracy, and In the
direction of centralized and authoritarian
government. From this tendency, America
is not free. The most important thing to
know this new year is the direction in
which We are moving at this phase. Are We
moving toward the authoritarian type of
government? Or are We, at this phase,
moving back toward our own traditions?
In the tendency to take America toward
authoritarian government, the longest at
tempted step SO far was President Roose-
velt's proposal to change the Supreme
Court and to change the entire nature of
the American judicial system. That step
failed-and it may be the defeat of the
Presidents court proposal was by far the
most important event in the United States
during 1887.
The date on which Mr.. Roosevelt sent
that proposal to Congress-written out in
the form Of bill with every comma in
place-was last February S. That date
may have been high tide Five months
later. early in July. Mr. Roosevelt and the
world knew he could not have the change
in the courts that he asked for. 1t is
hardly conceivable, at this time, that Mr..
Roosevelt would renew his attempt to
change the court. 1t is certain that If he
should attempt it, he would be defeated
more conclusively than before.
Split Democratic Party.
From the conflict over the court measure
and the ultimate defeat Of it arose what
may turn out to be the most important
event of 1888. The struggle over the court
bill in the Senate divided the President S
party in that body, and in the House,
squarely in two. There were those who
favored the Presidents measure there were
those who opposed it. The numbers of the
for the group that opposed the Presidents
proposal was only enabled to defeat it by
having with them the little group of 16
Republicans in the Senate
THE solidarity of the Republican Sena-
tors on the Presidents court measure was
another outstanding political event of 1887
Without looking up the records, one might
justifiably estimate that that was the first
time in 80 years when every person in the
Senate bearing the Republican label voted
the same way on an important question)

Condemns "Mass Murder"
As . Way to Peace.
To the Editor OF The Star:


Mass murder is as unforgivable as single
murder but 1t does not receive the same
punishment Instead 1t is termed war and
the people who participate in 1t are called
heroes. There is nothing heroic about
killing even when necessary, and the men
who fought in the last great war know it.
It is a nasty, unpleasant business and it
is not truly necessary even when it
seems so. We are not animals, we are not
even primitive men. We have had CEN
turies Of experience in human relations
behind us, and there is no point in our
getting worked up about any single situation
or group Of situations to the point Of dis
carding our knowledge Of the ways Of
getting along with other people. Some Of
us may go out and punch somebody's
nose when we are annoyed, but the ma
jority of US know that there are better
and more decent ways Of getting along

Blames Secretary Perkins
For MutinOus Seamen.

To the Editor Of The Star:
Now that the shock Of the conviction OF
the Algic crew for INSTRUMENTATION has
eased off, thoughtful men are asking what
is to be the attitude Of the President on
this grave subject. It is well understood
that 1t was the injudicious action OF Mrs
Perkins in the San Francisco strike Of sea-
men which developed the strike on the
Algic. 1t was only natural that labor
agitators should claim the Presidents sup
port and when one Of his cabinet openly
fouted mutiny, as merely labor dispute,
Of course that theory found favor in the
heads of those who would break down all
discipline in favor of anarchy The
stewards departments on the American
ships is in filthy condition, order and dis
cipline being no longer known. At least
two lines have been punished by the court
for stewards assault on female passengers.
A couple Of months ago correspondent of
The Star invited attention to the fact that
q number Of high-priced Government Of
ficials were going to Europe, not, however,
travelling on an American ship, but paying
good American money into the pockets of
foreign ship owners. If there is to be
such q factor in life as an American
merchant marine greater power than the
labor union must control. The President
should take the matter up with his cab
met. He should let the world under
stand that the law Of the seas still prevails
and must be respected on board of Amer
lean ships, that Mrs. Perkins does not
speak for the Executive when she writes
letter to the House chairman considering
the matter of seamen's labor, advocating
the rights Of the alien agitator. The ques-
ton has become acute. Is the President to
direct the policy Of the American merchant
marine or has this duty been assigned to
Mrs. Perkins? If Mrs. Perkins is to con-
troll, then we are guilty Of waste Of money,
as her experiment Is bound to be a mis-
erable failure

referred to in the bill represent the parity
that existed 20 years ago as to the relative
purchasing power Of industrial and agri-
cultural products. They do not mean the
parity of prices that should exist at present.
OF this fact the Senators are fully aware.
The Senators also know that the parity
price bill will not and cannot give the
farmers any sort of parity, either of 20
years ago or OF today. The Senators know
that the bill Is framed on the theory Of
world supply and world demand returning
world prices to the farmers for their prod
ucts, plus cash benefit payments sufficient
to make up the difference between world
prices and parity prices The Senators also
know that there will be no money avail
able for this purpose beyond the $500, ,00O,-
600 previously appropriated under the
terms OF the existing Soil Conservation
Act. They know also that the President
will veto any bill that appropriates any
additional sum without providing means
OF payment. They know that they are
merely asking the farmers to call their
soil conservation payments by the name Of
parity price payments, taking money al
ready appropriated to them out of one
pocket and putting it into another pocket.
And they know further that s50OO0O, 900
will not begin to make up the difference
between world prices and parity prices.
The farmers want, and their farm or
ganizations have repeatedly said that they
want, cost Of production prices The Sen
ators have deliberately chosen to deny
this very reasonable request. The Senators
seem to think that world prices are ap-
proximately what the farmers should have
Such prices are far below those required
for American producers to enable them
to maintain an American standard of
living. The Senator's seem to have over
looked the fact that the world supply Of
farm products cannot be balanced with
world demand by legislative enactment
OF the Congress OF the United States 1t
would require an international congress to
do that. Even If the Congress OF the United
States could find an effective way to bal
ance domestic supply with domestic de-
mand, do the Senator's think that that ac-
complishment would have any appreciable
effect upon world supply and world de-
mand?
Do not our Senators know that, under
our present marketing system, the prices
quoted by our ticker tapes are not Amer
ican prices, but world prices? I wonder

C0mmends Efficiency Of
Committee Members.
To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor OF The Star:
A T A TIME when critics are harping on
the loose way in which the political
situation is being handled wish to draw
attention to something that may show
there are some members of Congress who
are trying to handle their job in an in
telligent and businesslike manner.
1t was my good fortune to attend the
hearings of a subcommittee held recently
in regard to the automobile industry
The interest shown by Messrs. Crosser,
the handling of this inquiry was something
that the average person little realizes.
They repeatedly asked questions of the
persons testifying which illustrated their
keenness in following the salient points as
presented by both the dealers and manu-
facturer's representatives who were pres
ent, showing very sincere determination
to get at the bottom of the trade COM
plants.
The impartial effort to bring out the
facts was evident on the part Of all men,
bers Of the committee, no matter Of what
political creed, who plainly emphasized
the fact they realized an industry that en-
ployed one-tenth OF the people In its allied
field is an important matter.
As one with over a dozen years Of experi-
ence in this business could not help but
feel that the work Of this committee will
result in recommendations Of q nature that
will be for the good Of the industry If the
enormous amount of evidence submitted
should show the need for corrective action.
Often people remark on the small number
Of members on the floor Of the Senate or
House, but if more people would visit the
committee rooms where the hearings are
being held they would probably get q
different idea of things.

efficient manner in which this subcommit-

On Farm Legislation.
To the Editor Of The Star:
ON December II, 1887, the Senators con-
sidered and made choice between the
two very different types Of farm legislation,
namely, the parity price bill Of Senators
Pope and McGill and the cost Of production
bill of Senator McAdoo. They chose the
former.
Those Senators who voted against the
cost Of production bill and in favor Of
the paTfsg price bill now ind themselves
