There are millions Of men and
women in this country who still
believe in the principles OF Jeffer-
son, jackson. Cleveland and Will
son and who will not follow any
fantastic, socialistic schemes fabri-
Gated by some who claim to belong
to the party but who never were
members of il, and some Of whom
were found in the other political
parties"
Sen. Elmer Thomas, D., Okla,
commented:
Il said some time ago. in advo-
eating Mr.. Roosevelt for a third
term. that there is room in this
country for only two parties
conservative and liberal The Re-
publicans have pre-empted the con-
sentative party, and there is only
one place for the Democrats TO go.
1t will have to be Roosevelt in
1910, or someone who will carry
on his liberal policies. We've
made mistakes, but they've been
on the liberal side. II we turn
back, we face defeat"

Roosevelt's announcement Thurs
day night to Young Democrats
that he would not support a con-

A third-term note was seen In
the demonstration that followed
the reading of Roosevelt's an
nouncement to the Young Demo-

in the keynote address of Sen.
Claude Pepper. D.. Fla, who said:
Irrespective of a third term

Young Democrats OF America
demanded q third term for
Roosevelt ideas. A third term
for Roosevelt ideas-that Ia
the keynote of this convention"
Rosevelt's letter brought bitter
criticism from conservatives who
fought his policies in the last ses-
sion of congress, and enthusiasm
from New Dealers.
Garner, in Uvalde, Texas, had
nothing to say. His friends here
reiterated their recent announce
ment that his campaign would
continue. regardless of whether
President Roosevelt decides to run
for third term.
Senators still in Washington
were wary when asked to COM

Roosevelt had brought into the open

Proper Manner of
Displaying the Flag

There are certain fundamental
rules of heraldry which, if under
stood generally, would indicate the
proper method of displaying the flag
of the United States of America.
The matter becomes a very simple
one if it is kept in mind that the
Flag represents the living country
and is itself considered as living
thing. The union of the Flag is
the honor point; the right arm is
the sword arm and therefore the
point of danger and hence the place
of honor.
The Flag should be displayed only
from sunrise to sunset, or between
such hours as may be designated by
proper authority. It should be
hoisted briskly, but should be low
cred slowly and tremendously. The
Flag should be displayed on all ma
tional and state holidays and ON
and special occasions. (How-
ever, being the emblem of our coun-
try, it ought to fly from every flag
pole every day throughout the year,
weather permitting.)

Movies Supply Materials
For Real World Language

The patriot may object to calling
the American language English, and
not without justice; yet the diver
gence of these two descendants of
a common ancestor, which has been
going on ever since this country
was settled, seems to be slowing
down. Not that our language is be-.
coming Anglicized, but that the Ian
guage of England is becoming
Americanized. To be sure the agen-
cy of that Americanization is the
movies, SO perhaps the English are
not taking on the best of Ameri-
can vocabulary and diction; but of
the fact there can be no doubt, not
only in England but on the CONT
nent. In some of the smaller coun-
tries of Europe, as late as Is years
ago, most people who spoke Eng
lish Except returned immigrants,
of course) spoke It with something
approximating the accent Of Ok
ford; now they are more likely to
employ the accent, and the Ian
guage, Of Hollywood. Which means
that here for the first time, we
have the materials for real world
language, which people in every
country can hear spoken, every
night, by those to whom it is the
native tongue.-New York Times.

German Mechanic Credited
With Making First Watch

Peter Henlein, a mechanic and
locksmith of Nuremberg. Germany,
is generally credited with being the
first man to make watches. About
1900, shortly after Columbus dis
covered America, he set himself to
produce small pocket clock. For
motive power he introduced the
main spring, and with this as a
basis produced little clocks
watches" as they came to be
moWn--Which would fit in the peck
ct or the purse.
We call an old-fashioned watch a
"turnip" because it is so thick; but
that is nothing compared to Peter
Henlein's products. They were al
most round, and when they were
sold throughout Europe they be-
came known as Nuremberg eggs"
Soon expert mechanicians in other
countries were making them
strengthening devices, round or
drum-shaped, with no crystal on the
face and no minute-hand, and a
Ginning apparatus to strike the
hours. They became the fashion
for the wealthy. They were not very
accurate; people still relied on sun
dials for really correct time; but
they were valued as jeWelry-and
watch has remained a jewel to this
day.
Kings and queens owned them.
Queen Elizabeth and her court Sc
lected watches as modern women
do their hats-to match their vari-
GUS costumes.

Animal Wisdom

Domestic animals seldom suffer or die of heart disease. Dr. H. H. Dukes, pro lessor of veterinary physiology at Cor nell University, has found that because they live more naturally than humans,' such disorders are far more rare among animals than among men. The animal heart, Dr. Dukes notes, lis not subjected to the unnatural stresses and strains that man has built up for himself through civilization"
 It looks as though Dr. Dukes has got something there. Most dogs, for example, can lie down, relax completely, and even sleep at the smallest opportunity. They do it, too. But there is something about modern life that demands that men keep at a piano-wire tension all the time, whether they are doing anything or not. As we learn to conquer the diseases that conquered our grandfathers, we create new tensions, strains, worries complica- tions, that will in turn kill us And if there is any sense to that, clans grow on jacaranda trees.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-03-06
Pittsburgh Innkeeper

The city of Pittsburgh is going into the hotel business. A 22-story hotel there which owed the city $5O0,O00 in back taxes is to be taken over and managed by the city. It is only the second time that the city has applied it's Sequestra- ton Act, passed in 1885, by which it can take over, manage and operate, delin- quent properties, diverting to the city all income above operating expenses until back taxes are paid
 Thus it is that government as the ulti- mate landlord of all of us shows that his patience may be exhausted just like the patience of any other landlord. The rights of the people of the city in gen. eral to receive tax payments have here apparently been placed ahead of even those of bondholderS and owners. It is an interesting dabble at the socialist con- ception that ultimate ownership of every thing is in the people The peoples claims are usually not so f0rcibly asserted, but they are there, underlying all owner ship Pittsburgh, in turning innkeeper, . starting something that will bear .s2.rhjng.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-03-06
Dancing, Crazy and Sane

The public is edified, or perhaps we should say popped up, by the announce ment of new dances. Notable among them is 'The Injun," said to be sweeping down from Canada. It is described as Quilt around the idea of an Indian buy" ing a radio, tuning in on Harlem and getting swing" Obviously something can be done about that. A New York expert pronounces it "a very gay dance and much fun to do."
 Another dance dawning on the hori- zon is the Black Pool Walk" a British importation and said to be "peppier and cutter than the Lambeth" The lat ter, by the way, was danced lately in Rome at the ball given by Mussolini to Prime Minister Chamberlain, and par ticipated in, to his own perplexity and horror, by the solemn head of the official Fascist Party. But the Lambeth is con- sidered not poppy enough now for our young people, and the Black Pool is adapted to a younger, more spirited generation of walkers"
 Along with this spirited walking, how ever, more staid dancers will be treasured by the announcement that there is a remarkable revival of interest in old time dances such as the plain quadrille, the waltz quadrille and the waltz minuet. Then for more lively groups there are the Dutch hop and the barn dance. Thus If dance patterns represent public psy- chology, we're probably getting back to a period of comparative sanity.

Workmen's Hours for Bankers

The long weekend seems to be getting around at last even to bankers. Bills are pending in the New York and New Jersey legislatures to make Saturday a bankers holiday, and they are expected to pass. The people affected are said to view the matter philosophically, and even brokerage clerks believe they can endure the longer weekend
 If this comment happens to puzzle an occasional reader, it is only necessary to add that bankers have never had the easy life popularly attributed to them. Or at least the clerks and many officials haven't. Bank hours have been short only to the public. There is always work to do before the doors open, and still more after they close. It is Workmen, rather than bankers, who have short hours nowadays.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-03-06
Preparedness for Delaware

The legislature of the state of Delaware raises question of sovereignty and de- fense which will puzzle lot of Ameri- cans. The state senate the other day passed a bill to extend the three-mile limit at sea to twenty-seven miles. It be- lieves the states rights should be pro- tected that far
 The three-mile limit, says the senator who introduced the measure, was set originally because the old-time cannons had only three-mile range. Guns to- day shoot much farther. The Delaware Senate doubtless does not fear attack by sea or expect to start shooting up vessels that come too close. It may be that fishing rights are threatened, or smuggling is reviving, or other perils Turk. Many other states face the same problem
