is one of these. When he said that Waterbury has mo Republican newspapers" he of course meant the city has no newspapers which are so delinquent in public duty not to disa gree with the reigning powers occasionally. Judge Peasleys idea of Republican newspaper Is the kind which says in effect. May the bless ed party ever be right. but right or wrong, am with the party"
 Naturally there are few such Re- publican newspapers left. This is . distinct gain for the electorate. The time when every party" newspaper played second fiddle to the party managers is at least in the past; the present day is one of gain for the parties and the people. The parties nowadays are not above receiving biting criticism when the managers have the temerity to act like the children they so often desire to be.
 Waterbury, like the others of the first five cities in the state. in which New Britain of course in included, has progressed journalistically since the days when "partyitis" ruled the press. It's newspapers have given the Roraback adherents much bother, but this Is not the fault of the news papers, but is primarily the fault of the state machine, which has been running the state with a concentra- tion of power at its disposal such as the past history of Connecticut. or any other state. has rarely shown. The Tammany Hall in the heyday of its power, the Penrose ring in Penn sylvania a dozen years ago, the Ware institution in Philadelphia, the Bill Thompson crowd in Chicago. the Governor Small outfit in Illinois none of these have anything on' the Connecticut system so far as the concentration of power is concern ed. To the credit of the Roraback machine. however, it is agreed that there have been no evidences of downright fraud: the worst that is charged is the donation of water power rights and the alleged favor itism shown to various public utilities. These are not high grade examples of political virtuA; but the descent Is still far to the depths which some other machines reach- ed have reached in the past and present.
 It behooves any sdt-respecting newspaper ir Connecticut to point out the dangers that beset the com monwealth. Concentration of politi- cal power inevitably has led to grave abuses. The independent newspapers of which Judge Peasley complains form the preventive medicine which Is needed. Without the newspapers in the state, which have been casting critical and cen serious glances toward the political situation, there is no telling how quickly the state machine would descend to the level of the worst. The organization may not like this critical faculty, but 1t should be thankful for the aid rendered.

 Baseball stock of the Washington Senators started on the upgrade to- day with the word that Walter Johnson. veteran pitcher of 20 sea- sons, is almost recovered from an ankle injury received in training camp this spring and ready to re- turn to the slab.
 "Old Barney" reappears on the horizon at a moment when the big league sluggers are hitting them hard and far and the worth of good pitcher is appreciated as never be- fore. Down around the capital his return is seen as the added ounce of steam that will carry the Senators back into the first division after an unprecedented run Of early season injuries and general hard luck.
 Barney tried out his arm in an exhibition game against the Baltl- more Orioles Of the International league yesterday and showed his old form in the five innings he worked, although one enterprising Oriole dld lay on one of his slants for homer.
 When the veteran does start il1s regular turn on the mound, proba- bly soon. he will be opening his Fist major league season, and pitching his 7S5th game and 5.s17th inning all of them played in a Washing ton uniform.
 While this threat to the batting averages of American league heavy hitters was taking shape, the slug gers of both leagues were pounding other pitchers to far corners or the lots.
 The Pittsburgh Pirates led in the slugging, as they are forming the habit of doing, with 1s-hlt II to victory over the Cincinnati Reds. Lee Meadows was one pitcher who had things all his own way and he held the Reds to just three sate blows. As though to make up for their weakness at the bat the Reds played errorless ball afield and made the first triple play of the season.
