\ CIVIL SERVICE LAW
 AND POLITICS

After having once had civi service law, Connecticut discarded It, The state has the unenyiable Spntation of being tho only one in the Union which, once having had such q law, first drew Its teeth and then threw it upon the Junk pile.
 People who prefer a civil service law to political patronage are mak- ing another effort to get & civil service law upon the statute books The effort is hopeless. So long as politicians have such extraordinary
 influence in the state there VII be no chance for a civil service law being passed,
 The late lamented civil service law was enacted in 1913, during the administration of Simeon F.. Bald win. When the Republicans were restored to power in 1915 they be- gan 10 change over the law, turning It into a trayesty Of Its original ef- ficiency But even the law In this paralyzed condition became oner- ous, and In 1921 1t was entirely re- pealed, Spells politics has prevailed in the state since that time. This system will continue until the state Tt%- srself Of its political machine.

ANOTHER CITY LOADED
 WITH GRAFT

Heretofore it was thought that the Philadelphia police had been most delinquent in the enforcement of the law, connivance with the criminal element, and lnefficiency generally, resulting in the "loaning' Of Major-General Butler of the marines to that city to clean 1t up and incidentally inject honesty into the police department.
 But it appears that Philadelphia now has companion city in mis- cry - Cincinnati. When police of- fcers and prohibition agents can exact more than a million dollars in graft, as was charged by investi- gators in that city, it is high time that there is another civic cleanup on the map.
 The government investigation in Cincinnati began three years ago, dispatches indicate. It would ap- pear from this that the wheels of the government grind slowly, but, like the mills of the gods, they grind extraordinarily fine.
 One is forced to wonder if there are other large cities as bad as Philadelphia or Cincinnati. Most bets will be in the affirmative.

DAWES HARD 1ASk REFORMING SENATE

 However. it will take the Senate itself 10 change tho Senate rules The peorle will have no chance to vote upon it. MT.

BRYAN TAKES UP A

William Jennings Bryan has given up the business of enunciating for ! ensics about the doctrine of evolu- ton; 1t appears that there is more money In real estate, so the com moncr has entered the employ of the Coral Gables Miami Riviera company to deliver daily lectures about the never-failing sunshine of Florida in general and the advan- tages of Miami in particular.

 Bryan started his career with don't cruelty mankind on a cross of gold" He made 16 to l taste palatablc to millions, but not enough of them to put 1t over. He talked granger politics for a decade. He knocked Champ Clark galley west at the Baltimore convention, there by started the ball rolling that nominated Woodrow Wilson. He got "olose to the people" by featuring at chautauquas, and boosted prohi- bition.

 The Democratic party, or what remains of it, ought to hope that the great commoner will be kept busy in the real estate business when the next national convention rolls around. It would be a pity to cause the gentleman to lose some of the velvet of Floridian prosper ity by wasting valuable time in meddling with politics any more. He should be kept in the real es- tate business where he cant harm the Democratic party and can do much for his own good. And 1t is to be hoped that he himself has been investing heavily in the ex- pensive acres under the dome or Floridas sky.

SUMMER CONGESTION AND THE ROADS

All signs point to congestion upon the roads in the state this summer such as has never before been ex- perienced. Every year sees an in- crease in the number of automo- piles using the highways, and upon week ends the state receives the "benef1t" of thousands of visiting autoists from New York and Massa- chusetts. These transients, coming from populated districts yielding more autoists than the entire state of Connecticut, help to wear out the roads, and all the state gets from them is the gasoline tax, which amounts to comparatively little compared with the probable damage they do to the roads.
 But the depredations of transient autoists cannot be prevented with out getting on distinctly bad terms with our neighbors. And so it will have to continue. All states lying contiguous to metropolitan centers are faced with the same problem they furnish the roads and the ma chimes from the big cities help to grind them up.
 Meanwhile new state roads are needed; some of those we have re- quire widening The Legislature np- parently has not yet reached the point where the road proposition is to be tackled in earnest. This is one of the most important matters be- fore the Legislature, and vitaliy concerns that great proportion Of the public which depends upon the automobile for their source Of pleasure during the summer time. The action expected of the Lcgisla- ture is to have that body keep road resources up to the demands of the times. In such matter standing still really is tagging behind.

UNITED COMMUNITY CORP.
 ASKS FOR FUNDS

The time Of year has again rolled around when the people of the city gre being asked to give to the ten different charitable and semi-chari- table Organizations that tend to the needs of various elements of our community, The sick-by the Well fare association and the Visiting Nurses: the inpoverished-by the same, as we'll as the Salvation Army; work among boys and girls in order that their moral and physical na- lures may be strengthcned-by the Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts. Junior Achievement, Boys Club and Fresh Air camp. The functions of the Day Nursery and the Tuberculosis Relief society are well understood, These various organizations, which depend upon the funds collected annually through one central clearing house, take care Of practically all the be- nign and protective work necessary to a city the size of New Britain.
 Figuring the population of the city at 10000, in round numbers Ca re- cent unofficial survey by the Census Bureau placed us there), the di- rectors of the corporation are ask ing for less than s1.00 apiece from every man. woman and child in the city, too much, perhaps, to ask from small amount to ask from those who can. Some there will have to be who make up for those who cannot give even the dollar. There will be larger contributions undoubtedly from the purses of those who can afford more and who take the city's prob- lems to heart. None of these givers care 10 evade what they consider their duty and probably their pleas ure, they may be counted upon to help.
 But it will be a fine commentary on the public spirit of the city gen. orally if the chest this year is filled by a larger number of contributions nan ever before. It will indicate that the man of small means is will ing to contribute his mite toward the swelling of mighty whole in order that the coming generation may be benefited bodily and physically, the sick be given the attention they de- serve and often cannot pay for, and the impoverished aided in obtaining some of the necessities Of life.
