recommendation carefully the members should not be too captious or partisan in the matter as no could be proposed that would suit everybody or approach perfection except through subsequent amendments or additions It is a step in the right direction whatever imperfections may be revealed in the discussions to follow pro-gia- m short-sighte- piesent Almost every state in the union appalled by the number of deaths and permanent injuries resulting annually from the sale of explosives to children or caie-les- s adults is trying to secure enactment The of statutes to prevent such traffic Philadelphia Inquirer is making a gallant Tight for the passage of a bill now pending in the Pennsylvania legislature to accomplish this desirable end The measure is being smothered in a sifting committee exactly as was done with a similar measure in the Utah house of representatives last month “To sidestep this needed safeguard by delaying enactment would be inexcusable negligence” says that alert newspaper It is not reported that any of the “Keystone” lawmakers try to camouflage the real influence behind their opposition to the bill by quoting a protest of some infant prodigy against deprivation of a chance to buy or handle firecrackers or toy pistols at his own discretion since legislation is not admittedly influenced by babes in all states But the immediate physical danger to these little ones is really insignificant compared with the drift and demoralization that follow this indulgence in many cases The thrill that youngsters find in the popping of firecrackers the satisfaction they get from swaggering about in cowboy regalia with pistols dangling from beaded belts the impish hilarity wuth which they snap paper caps in the faces of adults the dawning conviction that deadly weapons enable the weak to cope successfully with the strong these aie primer lessons in war and crime that vendors and buyers of toy guns and explosives are teaching the rising generation Such impressions made on plastic minds may not often survive subsequent schooling but all children are not the same in this or in many particulars Some carry their likes and dislikes from the cradle to the grave The war spirit will never be subdued nor the trend toward use of ueypnns for enforcement of selfish demands discredited until parents and legislators cease catering to primitive passions of undeveloped characters by permitting manufacturers or salesmen to supply childien with dangerous or demoralizing forms of amusement Utah lost the fight in the last session but it is to be hoped intelligent promoters of juvenile welfaie will win the skirmish now in progress in Pennsylvania's legislature Reorganization Plan Presented by the President After many futile attempts by seveial presidents during the past 35 years to secure simplification of government business by a reorganization of executive departments President Franklin D Roosevelt has finally succeeded in gaining the attention of congress m outlining a plan for consolidation that seems to meet with the tacit approval of tho'-- who claim to have studied its provisions Many who aie reluclant to acknowledge the desirability of reforms in this particu-arv°- r who may try to defeat the general plan by vague obiecUons or insistence upon t'linor changes may be entirely sincere or uncompromisingly paitisan or committed - to the patronage that would be lost in any scheme of revision Instead of a hundred subdivisions of administrative authontv a dozen may cover the service with one supervisor fewer clerks or investigators and less duplication of wmik in order to attain the same results As everybody connected with the fedeial government mtist know as chief executives have been pointing out since the term of the first Roosevelt methods now followed in most departments aie the ones adopted in the beginning of the republic when the organization was new the originators were inexperienced the business was small and the duties were not conflicting No private or coipoiate business founded 160 years ago even though conducted in the most approved manner of that era would be able to cany on with the same organization and office regulations if the institution had kept pace with the growth of this government It was generally admitted 30 years ago that the need of ovei hauling the machinery of givernment was imperative but no plan presented that seemed to meet requirements or overcome the opposition of Such necessity is a dispensers dozen times greater today with a multiplicity of bureaus to meet emergencies in e s i' Connecticut Coincides Making the Union Unanimous The people of Connerheut are conservative not to say contumacious Nonconformists from England and dissatisfied colonists from Massachusetts settled the territory three centuries ago They hid the charter granted by the second Charles and refused to acknowledge a new governor-generin 1687 The first enterprise with whieh the state attracted attention of the world was the manufacture and marketing of wooden For a while it had two state nutmegs capitals Although the Connecticut legislature ratified the federal constitution January 9 1788 it deliberated a long time before indorsing the “bill of rights" Having rejected this important supplement to the original document in 1813 it refused to reverse this decision for 126 years but finally yielded last Wednesday By adoption of a resolution that originated in the house of representatives the senate completed the legislative ratification and further responsibility was shifted to the governor It is not believed that he will have the heart to veto a measuie that has received the careful consideration of four generations of his forebears and fellow citizens While Connecticut went on record as opposed to the war of 1812 it paiticipated in four subsequent conflicts and qualified to become a member of the sisterhood of states so there seems to be no valid objection to proclaiming her belated acceptance of the “bill of rights” That makes it practically unanimous at last al full-fledg- ed New York By Charles B Highlights NEW YORK— A painful wrench is in the news from Gallipolis that Nimble Odd Boston bulldog Is dead Mrs McIntyre took Nimble out to Gatewood nhout Christmas and left him there in care of Mrs Kenneth Leighton who cares for the house Mrs McIntyre was leaving on a world cruise She from which she has not yet returned suspected that Nimble growing infirm at the age of 11 years might not survive until her return She asked that she be not informed during the trip if the' dog should die I'm hoping that no misguided friend will send her news tendering the last part of her long tour -- unhappy Loyal Friend Nimble has been buried on the large lot at the rear of Gatewood whete Odd McIntyre used to give his amateur circuses in boyhood Nimble was given to the McIntyres by Ben All Haggin artist Billy the famous Boston was growing old then and could not As long as Btllv lived last much longer Nimble was kept In quarters at the other end of the apartment from him to avoid jealousy After Billy’s death Nimble inherited the older dog’s quarters and the McIntyres bestowed upon the younger dog much of the affection the older one had known The night Odd died Nimble stayed close by his master and at the moment of dissolution he was on the bed at his master's cold feet At the funeral in Gatewood Nimble was sith Mrs McIntyre and close relatives in an He cried and whimpered upstairs room piteously during the service and had to be hushed by his sorrowing mistress little more than a year after the death master and if I remember correctly ahout two years after Odd wrote his famous “Letter to Billy in Dog Heaven” Nimble passes from the scene Dogs do not long survive their masters for the lives of dogs are short at best Well If (jogs cavort as Odd so fondly and firmlv believed in some Klysian fields of joy two Bostons are

soot of conflicting propaganda In the coal strike predicament Is the clean fact that no question of wages hours or working conditions is involved If you can penetrate the publicity mlsta you will find it la true that John L Lewus reached an agreement with the operators on every point except one long before the federal government in WASHINGTON — Bureaucracy has been recent years one of the bugaboo words of But at the present mothe conservatives ment the gentleman In the White House can tell his political opponents that they don’t The know half the truth about bureaucracy hands of the bureaucrats may not be deadening but their postures are frozen The president Is about to try to exercise is power under the recent reorganization act His to shift various government agencies power is limited Congress can veto any shift which he orders by passing a concurrent resolution within 60 days By law many agencies specifically have been made “untouchable" under the president’s reorganization powers The authority to reorganize the administrative agencies of the federal government which congress grudgingly conceded to the individual who is alleged by the constitution to be the chief executive is extremely meager But whether he can use effectively this slen-d- r discretion Is doubtful For the bureaucrats are at work proclaiming both at the White House and in the halls of congress that they are immovable In 'I CIO boss The one thing the wanted that the operators would not give is elimination of the system providing fines for unauthorized strikes The miners proposed the system back In 1917 to assure the operators they would live up to contracts It authorized penalty fines of $1 to $2 per day per workep on unauthorized strikes If the operators locked out the miners the operators were required to pay it and if the miners broke their contracts they had to pay It So 340 000 miners have been Idle more have nearly a month been called out for May 4 Largest coal bins
