Passing the Buck.
(Brid geport Post.)

Senator Johnson in laying the blame president and the administration hinges his accusation upon mighty
 big If"
 '1f' the blame can re laid to any 1 one man, says Hiram Johnson, then the president is the man. Of course. If any human or divine catastrophe the Boston riots, the meanness of 2.75 beer, the rainy sum- mer, can be laid to any one man,
 why lay it to the probable opposi- tion candidate for president. Who else could be responsible for all the terrible vhings that have hap
 pened save Mr Wilson? Certainly the republican party in the fifty years and more of the administration gave us a perfect country. Only since the terrible democrats were shunted by Fate to a commanding position at the very greatest crisis in American
 affairs, have we had any troubles.
 The high cost of living, however, cannot be laid at the door of any one man. If the president and the dem- ocrats did not care hoot about the
 cost of living last January when as
 Johnson says, they had Q chance to
 control things, it is because such
 action is not in the book of partisan politics
 The republicans were in control. Why didn't they do better? It was not until the people Of the country through the newspapers their editorial columns and cartoons, made the esteemed senate and house un- derstard what was troubling them
 most, that anything was heard about the high cost of living.
 Long ago the press of this nation was pointing out the thing upon which Bolshevism was feeding and
 growing fat. While con gress fddled and fumed over MT. Wilson's absence, over the treaty, over a thousand and one little things, the people were fuming over the cost of making both ends meet.
 Then it was that both democrat and republican woke up. Then it was they smelled a campaign issue. Then and only then did they exhibit any interest in what was q most com polling topic of conversation the na- ton over.
 Why blame it on the president? II is the system of party politics, and the G. O. P. is as much in the mire as the democrats.

Bond Thefts in New York.

Waterbury RepUblican) ,-$a
 New Workers" were amused last week when their papers carried the funny story of the Long Island sher-. if who had been given a warning. that the banks of his town might beS' robbed and who consequently Spent5 sleepless days and nights guarding laugh really is on New York. The banks in the little Long Island town were not robbed, but New York has been subjected to a series of theftss that its police should be ashamed tox have entered in it's criminal annals.
 Since January 1 thieves have got. ten away with $766,125 in securities that were being sent by messen gers f from one firm to another. Hardly day goes by that does not turn ups. the story of a theft of this sort int the big city. '. @
 The trouble is rot due to a wave of crime. Liberty bonds are respor1- sible. These bonds are virtually as liquid IS money and are heirs bought and sold in large numbers Boys who have in the past carried satcheisa with railroad and industrial stocks and bonds of high Ealue have been safely entrusted because such secur- ities could not be readily turned into cash by anyone other than the right ful owner and the temptation to way lay the messenger was not great. y Liberty bonds, however, are readllya convertible and cffer tempting spoilss. to thieves who know that m essentH gers carry such bonds to the value of $1O0,O0O and even up to $500,000 as was the case with one fboyli la%ts week. What is needed is live policy ing of the "dead-ine" district. Po- lice work that keeps crooks out. of this rich field is better than detec4 tive work that in some cases cap tured the thieves after they have put through a job. . ., <.

carried along for future production is 6,1O9,O0o tons, which compares with 4,2s2,31o tons at the end ofsMay, 1919, which was the lowest figure since May,s 1915. Recently the United States Railroad Administra- : tion placed an order for 200, ,OOO tons of steel rails, divided equally between the United States, Bethlehem,> and LackaWanna companies Charles M SchWab, of the. Bethlehem Steel Company, has estimated that during the next twelve months the roads Of the country will need about 5,0OOO 900 tons of steel rails. It has been ascer- tained that the average annual pro- duction of rails in this country from 1914 to 1918 was 764,898 tons less than that for the period of 1909 to 1913. It may readily be seen that it will take enormous production to catch up with the Aestimated orders that are to be placed for rails.

An Outside View.
Waterbury American.

The editor of the London Spectator was the personal friend of Col Roose-s welt He visited the colonel at tho White House when the colonel was president He was one of the coterie whom the colonel included among hts closer friends when visiting England. The London Spectator, also, has never. been favorable to the league of na-s itons. It has used over and over again the illustration of the Holy Al Hance to prove the futility of the league. The Spectator has. howeyer,s accepted the league as part of the treaty because America favored it. z
 For the reasons above given, the Spectators analysis of the present situation, as between the president and the senate, is interesting. Says the Spectators
 Any single textual alteration would probabl cause vast complications Take the Shantung arrangement, for example By votes to 2 the foreign relations committee have taken away 7 tke old German rights in Shantung from Japan, to whom the peace con ference gave them, and have conferred them on China. They have done this by the simple experiment of saying i'll effect: "Wherever the word Japan r occurs read China" Unfortunately Germany has signed and ratified theI treaty assigning Germany's, pre-warr right in Shantung to Japan. It would seem, therefore, that new treaty be- tween America and Germany would be 2 necessary. The Allies could not con- sent to this without tearing up their own treaty. Fancy taking on the bus mess of making the peace treaty all over again! Let us not deceive our selves-it would have to be a really fresh treaty for the present treaty is a structure of fine balances, and if one balance or check were removed the rest would not hold together. And meanwhile there would be no treaty butween America and Germany; that is to say, technically Germany and America would remain at war.
 This is an indorsement of President Wilson's position from an unexpected source, a source by no means friendly to the league of nations idea. Reser- vations that really reserve would con1- ! pei the negotiation of a new treaty. Such reservations could not be &C., cepted by the Allies. The work would all have to be done over. -t-

Bringing the Seashore Nearer.
Manchester HeraId)

The old railroad bridge across the Thames at New London, which has been reconstructed as highway bridge by the state, is to be opened to public travel about Oct. 1. It will be operated as a toll bridge. Auto ists from this part of the state going to points along the shore east of New London have this year been using the new state road between Norwich and Groton on the east side of the river. thereby avoiding the crossing at New London. This is a new piece of road and is in excellent condition. Next year there will be a riow state road connecting Norwich and Westerly, which will shorten the distance between Manchester and Watch Hill about 20 miles.
 For the past few years train serv- ice between this place and tho southeastern shore has been very in adequate but the new highways and the shortened routes are now bring ing the shore resorts within easy ac- cess by automobile. It will be q great advantage to our people to have these salt water breathing places so rear at hand.

LIFTING OF PROHIBITION.

It is said that when President Wilson returns from the West he is to issue a proclamation declarin g that the mobilization of the Army is now complete, with the result that the liquor interests in the States will ibe again able to resume business and the saloons will be open until January% 1, 1920. That is, it is expected by the saloon men that this will be the result, and their attorneys are preparing to fight their cases for them on the basis thet the Wartime Prohibition Act is invalid with the return of peace and the demobiliza- tion of the Army.
 Peace has not been declared, although the possibility of the ratif- cation of the Treaty by the three great Powers is here and trade has been resumed with the enemy. It is upon these grounds coupled with the dem mobilization of the Army, that
 
 opinion on the legality of the act.
 To all intents and purposes there IS no war, although peace has not been ratified, and the action of the President in demobilizing the Army, officially, will sweep away the last obstacle to the short time which the nt' i,fn their beverages until the right is swept away by the. force of the Dry Amendm ent. It is uuestiona ble whether the American public desires this short period of spree before the long drought. It will certainly prove upsetting. The fact that it will be impossible to obtain any liquor after January 1, that the dry spell is about due, will cause much more indulgence than would usually be the case. The saloonkeepers who have kept their places of business in shape, awaiting the lifting of the ban, will welcome the opportunity of getting rid of
 
 will be, the only ones to benefit, |. , Should there be any possibility of resuming the liquor trade in a normal way, without the threat of complete removal hanging upon the. horizon, it might be we'll to allow the saloons to reopen. Unfortunately, this may not be done, and the lifting of the ban will be the signal for an extended orgy such as We saw on the last days of the wet period before July 1.
 However, it has not yet been thor oughly decided what is to be done. Good judgment may act to control the situation before it. becomes acute. Let us stay dry. from now, on, or re- move all restrictions indefinitely. That is our impression of the need today.
