UONVIL.LE Manager Dictators There was a time when we used to hear what this coun- try was doing or that country was going to do. It might be Germany, or Italy, or Russia, or Turkey. But the name of the country is no longer important. The name that stands out is that of Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin or Mustapha Kemal Pasha, all nice little dictators each with the country in the palm of his hand. And, speaking of dictators, what has become of all that talked about the dictatorship of President Roosevelt we used to hear so much about during the late campaign ? As near as we can make out the President and Congress are very much in accord, quite like newlyweds on a honeymoon. The President is down in Buenos Ayres and if he is wise he will stay there a while if the weather in Washington is anything like that of Essex county. The Democrats have topheavy majorities in both houses of congress. In fact, there is such a thing as having too big a major- ity. The President, if he steps lively, is likely to have con- gress approve much of his contemplated legislation. Too much delay makes fertile ground for the planting of the seeds of blocs and groups. We have seen this before, with blocs in parties causing more trouble than the regular op- ponents of the administration. Some of them may begin to look toward their fences and begin to groom their can- didates for 1940 and there is nothing to stop them. Least of all Roosevelt, for he has no thought of being a candidate and has already let it be known. Not much dictatorship in all that. On the other hand, if you have noticed some of those dictated countries, you will find that everyone sings very small. No one would dare to lay pipes for his own ad- vantage and if they begin to get too strenuous, a blood- purge after the manner of Hitler-Roehm, et al, is a most pursuasive way of restoring harmony, with the newspapers not daring to print a word that has not been censored. How long would that kind of dictatorship last in this country ? As far as Mr. Roosevelt is concerned, it may be that he may have to contend with a few Democrats of the Huey Long type who will spend all their time trying to split the party. All tins might make trouble for a lesser man. Admitting that the President holds great power, he holds it only as long as the people or their representatives choose. The soldier bonus was an example of that, not that there were not plenty who did not side with the President. He can keep his power just as long as he proves himself capable of leadership, as he has in the past. So, all this talk we heard about dictatorship really turns out to be part of a well-laid campaign which failed to work. When all is said and done, we are living in the United States of America. We may do our best to elect the man we want and defeat the man we don't want, but when it comes to dictatorship, the only dictatorship in this country is the dictatorship of the people themselves, as they proved to us on election day. We speak of this because we hear so much of dictators in foreign lands and because we had so much of this talk in our own country a few weeks ago, but it doesn't seem to worry us much now. The Last Farm Perhaps we hadn't though about it much. Nevertheless, we were a little sui-prised a day or two ago when we learned that the last farm on Manhattan Island was doomed. It never occurred to us that there was still a farm right on Uroadway. True, it was pretty well up—213th street to 211th street, but in New York City just the same. The Italian farmer who has raised a family on this plot, to- gether with an assortment of corn, cabbage, potatoes and M> forth, but now he is through. There may still be a few farms in The Uronx, Brooklyn has some, Queens and Staten Island have quite a number, but Little Old New York is through farming. And what do you think is going to become of this last farm? It is going to be turned into a parking place for auto trailers. It seems to us that the auto trailer has crept up on us to a point that real estate men are becom- ing- worried. They seem to think that people are not going to confine themselves to permanent homes any longer, but aiv going to ixj like the gypsies and camp wherever night fwrtakes them. Perhaps we shall become a nation pat- ii'rnefl after the snail which carries its home on its back •is it wanders hither and yon. -Ju.~t the same, we have to make up our minds that the trailer is making a wonderful impression upon impression- able people. At the last auto show in New York City, the trailers on exhibition attracted as much attention as the ' • latest model automobiles. A whole lot can happen when there is a trailer in the family. Supposing there are floods such a.s happen quie frequently. Instead of fighting the water and watching our homes float down some river, we fill the \old bus\ with gasoline and take our homes to higher ground. We can dodge the dust storms and the drought. We can go where we please, when we please, with plenty of good roads from the Atlantic to the Pacific coast. The trailer is an idea which just strikes the average American, for he was never one of those who could \stay put.\ We still have the blood of the pioneers in our veins. When we want to travel we travel. We may have advanced a long way from the covered wagon idea, but in the trailer we have a covered wagon that has all the comforts of home —and more than some homes. FATHER AND SON MEET IN PRISON AT DANNEMORA Son Believed Father Dead Until Recently—Parent Dying in Prison Ward A dying father and the son he had not seen in twenty years were re- united last Sunday in a ho&pltal ward I at the Dannemora state hospital after j the son had made the trip from his home near Syracuse when he learned that the parent whom he had 'been led to believe was dead was still alive but was on his death bed in the Dan- nemora institution. Joseph Gabriel, 27, of Walkill, Uls- ter county, arrived in Syracuse short- ly after noon last Saturday, spent an hour conferring with Gerson Ruben- stein, an attorney, and then drove away .bound for Dannemora to see his father, Nicholas Gabriel, 77, whose life is slowly ebbing away. Gabriel was seven years old when he was taken from the House of Providence in Syracuse by his mother, the late Mrs. Rose Gabriel, shortly after her husband placed the boy in the institution after the couple sep- arated. Many years ago, Gabriel was told his father was dead. He was never told that his father was sentenced to Auburn prison early in 1917 for a term with a minimum of seven years and 11 months for assault for firing two shots at Waldo E. Gilbert, an at- torney. The elder Gabriel was trans- ferred a few years later to Dannemora ] because of a mental breakdown. few years ago that I lived in Syracuse when I was a youngster.\ \1 telegraphed the next morning to officials at Dannemora and received a reply saying my father's condition is critical,\ he continued, \and while there appears no chance for recovery he may live a few weeks. \I thought that possibly Mr. Ru- benstein might have more informa- tion about my father than what was given in the news story and that is why I drove to Syracuse first before going to Dannemora. \My mother died some years ago. had been told my father was dead and it was quite a shock to me to learn that he had been alive all these years. If I had only known the truth, I would have seen him many times in past years. 'As I understand it now, all my father's worries and troubles must have made him irresponsible on that day when he fired the shots at the lawyer. Gabriel said he had no recollection of his father. : \Do I look like him?\ he asked Mr. \You look very much like\ him, as I recall him,\ Mr. Hubenstein replied. W. N.
