Toy With Imitation

Congress is getting ready to make a bluff at tackling the problem of avoiding imitation. Bluff" is used with full knoWl- edge of the purport of the word. It is justified by what has already happened in Washington and what is probably go- ing to happen, unless the American peo- pie make themselves more vocal. Con- greSS certainly recognizes the dangers of imitation, but seemingly lacks the cour- age to meet the problem n the only way it can be met. Next year is election year when all the representatives and one-third of the senators come up for re- election. CongreSsmen from the cities fear the labor vote, and congressman from the country fear the farmer vote. Senators fear both blocs. That is why there is slim chance of any real anti-in- flation action.
 Let's explain. To prevent imitation, it is necessary to place a ceiling on prices goods on rents and on wages. Omit one of these, and the result is failure. The vicious circle begins. If farm products are allowed to soar in price, the cost ot living automatically goes up. City work CTS find their dollar buys less, so they ask and through their unions usually get higher wages. Manufacturers of shoes, clothing, hats, furniture and everything else boost the selling prices of their goods because of the higher wages they have to pay. The farmer now finds every manu- factured article he needs cost much more. His remedy is to demand price increases for his farm products. Then the wage earners seek more wages to meet this and so things go spiraling ever upward until the worth of dollar becomes tragic joke.
 What is here depicted is not guess work. It happened in Germany in the 1920's. It ruined the middle class closed factories, threw workmen out of jobs, and largely paved the way for the rise of Adolf Hit Ter. The bill the House Banking Com nlittee has conceded is not even weak stab at preventing imitation. It does not deal with the question of wages. When it comes to farm products, it not only per nnitS no per cent of so-called parity prices, but in many cases allows 20 per cent above that figure. It should be called bill to hasten imitation. The time is now 10 minutes to 12 for pressure by a mightier group than either the farm or labor lobbies-the great mass of Ameri- can people. For once imitation starts, 1t will hit the farmer and the workingman as viciouSly as any group.

William Sulzer

A great many people took notice of the death last week of William Sulzer of New York. Most of them were people who could go back in memory to the days pre- ceding the World War when William Sulzer ended promising public career by being removed from the office of governor of the State of New York. He had been impeached after serving ten months of his 2-year term. A career of great promise was blasted and there were many who always held that Sulzer was victim of politics and not of his own miSdeeds.
 At any rate the Sulzer impeachment was front page news throughout the East for long time. As tempers cooled and other events came along to fill the news paper columns the story of what actu- ally happened started to be revealed. MT. Sulzer was never fully eXonerated of the charges by which he was impeached, but he was certainly shown to be the victim of Tammany Hall wrath. When he went into office one of MT. SulZer's first actions was to sever any ties he might have had with Tammany Hall and to declare war on this political organization.
 Tammany Hall was in its prime in those days with the late Charles Murphy it's very active head. The fate of the opponent was pretty we'll determined in advance. Certainly for MT. Sulzer it'was a terrible and perhaps unjust fate, if he wasn't as guilty of the misdemeanors with which he was charged. At any rate no sentence of excommunication was ever more binding, perhaps, than that which Tan1many affixed to William Sulzer. His name long remained byword for all that was supposed to be reprehensible in politics.
 Was he victim of circumstances or simply man caught up in the tolls of his 3wn mistakes?

Career to Watch

There was no doubt about the identity of New York City's District Attorney in last Tuesdays election. The Waterbury born candidate, Frank s. Hogan, had the distinct advantage of being candidate on all tickets in the field. He couldn't lose. The mere fact that his first endorsement by the Democratic Party was followed in quick succession by other party approval is a good indication of the respect and admiration in which he is held in our big gest city.
 Waterbury can well afford to be proud of Frank Hogan and to glory in his ad- vancement to the office of New York's District Attorney. We feel sure that he will acquit himself with honor in his office, one with which he is not unfa- miliar by virtue of his work as District Attorney Thomas E. Dewey's assistant. Henceforth, many of us home here in Waterbury will watch the conduct of the District Attorneys office with more at tention and certainly with the pride that one always has for native son who is doing things ill big way.

in the nation which does not set Up as is fist requirement. the dis- avowal of self. Men can only serve others when they are free, and they cannot be free so long as there hangs about their necks like great millstone, an allegiance to selfish inter ests. The greater responsibil- ity we have to bear, the less are we free. If we would have freedom that is freedom indeed, we must reconcile ourselves to the fact that such freedom comes from the will ingness to cfface self in the ln- terest of higher things.
 The world says that freedom is the opportunity to follow ones own desires. The Bible is the charter of man'sI freedom, but on every page 1t denies such a conception of free- dom. It maintains that Q man is only free when he has made a set- clement with life's duties and when with complete abandon he has de- cided to follow his conscience. no matter where it may lead.

Murder Under the Big Top might we'll be the title of the mystery confront ing officials of the Ringing Brothers, Barnum and Bailey circus down in Alt lanta where the show is now playing. Seven elephants have died from arsenic poisoning. Whether it was accidental or deliberate remains to be proved. But the catastrophe, for it is all that in any circus, has caused confusion, sorrow and anger. Included among the animals that died was the African Pigmy which at tracted considerable attention when the show played in Waterbury last June. The Ringing show herd of elephants IS prob ably the largest with any circus today, but wholesale poisonings like those occur ring might we'll cut down the forty or more members. Requirements would be difficult because there aren't many ele- plants on the market today and it's hard to get animals out of the jungles on account of the war. Who'd want to murder an elephant anyway?

NegIecting Civilians

The federal government has set up civilian defense machinery in the United States with the object of having every state, city and town join in this all-im- portant work. So far, however, one very serious matter seems to have been over looked. Little has been said about sup plying the mass of the American people with gas masks in case this country be- comes involved in war.
 The War Department has ordered gas masks only for the Army and for civilian employees in government arsenals. The British government did something the United States might well emulate. When the present war was imminent, gas masks were promptly supplied free of charge to all the 45,0000O0 people in the island.

Nature displays nothing more beautiful than forest with its green canopy, it's shadowy aisles, its songs Of bird and drowsy hum of insects, followed by sil- ences cities seldom know. For all it's vast, flat plains, Russia also has its great for ests, and Russians always felt these forest were their friend.
 So 1t is with no surprise we find Rus sian author writing recently: "The forest has changed since the war invaded 1t. Formerly, there was one man to a hun dred thousand trees. Now it often hap psiza taat there iy one manAtC Q tree.

Selected Poem
FOR REMEMBERING ON COLD WINTER
 NIGHTS

FOR REMEMBERING ON COLD WANAEN
 NIGHTS
 (Evcning Walk In the Country The sky was spread on pudd!cs in the lane, Pieces of pink, and far-of floating blue; The muddy way was fragrant after ratn r And smelled as fresh and damp as gardens do On summer evenings. r' The roadside hedge Climbed where the roses climbed, their thorny stems Entangled in wall.
 Beyond the ledge, Hidden, yet briefly seen, like lowered gems, Wild orchids waited, lovely and alone, Each spike aloof from neighbors, and from kin' Guarded about by grass and weeds and stone, Imperial and shy, There was din Of noisy color by the pasture ditch, Thistle and mallow, mustard, meadow-sweet, In loud discordant clamor, bright and rich The simple-minded daisies cool and neat, Were leaned upon and joStled by their tall And bold-eyed cousin susans .. Near the mill Stood yellow cones of loosestrife.
 Best of all, Were bluebels chiming softly on the hill.
 Martha Banning Thomas in the Christian
 Science Monitor.
