THE WATERBURY RIPPER AND HOME RULE

Just as, during the 1925 session of the Legislature the Bridgeport ripper bill was the chief battering ram against civic independence en- acted. so in 1927 the Waterbury ripper bill was the most indefensible act performed.
 The difference in principle. be- tween the two ripper bills was slight. although the objects varied. The 1927 Waterbury ripper was purely a political measure, one call culated to enable the embatted minority of Republicans in Water bury to put over something in the Legislature relative to their city which they could not attain in Waterbury.
 The Waterbury ripper. in short. is one whereby the Waterbury po-
 lice department Is managed from Hartford, instead, of from Water bury. The harassed grand old party clique in Waterbury, unable to get its way in that Democratic city, traded upon its allegiance to the state machine to get what 1t wanted in Waterbury.
 What can the result be? Judging by the universal anger in Water bury, Senator Goss, the Republican sub-boss in Waterbury. will have a much more difficult. time show ing results in the next campaign. Citizens of Waterbury have rightly denied the whip-hand to this disci-
 pie of political machinery and will continue to place tacks on his chair The state machine may have a
 firmer grip upon the Waterbury police department, but 1t will have lesser chance if inducing the angered citizenry to worship at the
 shrine of Rorabackism.
 The Waterbury newspapers. al of them, have been accused bS Representative Peasely of Chesh. ire. of being "un- Republican" This
 in the mind of the Cheshire oracle may be the next thing to calling them erican." Representa- | tive Peasley was once a stalwar | kicker against the machinations O 1 the state machine, but has floppet 1 to the bosom of the powers-that-b in order to do things. for himsel particularly. He is now a first-clas organization man.
 The Waterbury newspapers giv'
 every indication of continuing to re main loyal to the real interests O l their readers: and in doing so, the! necessarily must oppose what ha! transpired. Moreover, they hay, given notice that they will continue 1 to oppose what is wrong in politics ] regardless of the indignation O Representative Peasley and Senator Goss Who ever heard of a news paper worth its salt which coult swallow all that is handed dowr ! from the organization.

PROSPECTIVE LIFE OF
 STATE HIGHWAYS


 The last 1926 report of the state highway commissioner contains a map purporting to show how long the state roads, and some other roads. are expected to last before reconstruction is necessary. They are listed all the way from O.l years of life to '10 or more" with those in between the extremes ap- parently well represented. The diff ference, of course. is due to the time they were, built, some having been constructed comparatively re- gently, others years ago.
 The state roads around New Brit ain seem to have better prospects than some others elsewhere. the road to Plainville being listed as g. "10 or more" thoroughfare, as is the road between Pennington to southington and beyond-all the way to Hamden. in fact. From there to New Haven, this road descends to the 6.s years of prospective life.
 The route to New Haven and the shore" most travelled by New Brit ainites, however. is not 50 well placed. This highway, the state road from Hartford to New Haven. through Berlin and Meriden, can be said to have a checkered future. From Hartford to north of Meri- den 1t has future of 6.9 years; from there to Wallingford it has a future of 2.3 years; from there to New Haven 1t has a future of 4.5 years. It may be easy for those us- ing the highway frequently to note this difference in longevity pros- poets.
 The roads between New Britain and Hartford also differ in their outlooks. Part of the routes are in the 4.5-year class; . considerable stretch, along the West Hartford route, .is in the "10 or more" class. A smaN stretch, on the east high way between Newington and Hart ford, is in the "0.1" class, which means it is very poor. but is not used much, perhaps for this reason.
 Some points about the commits sioner's map are hard to under stand. For instance: The road from New Britain to Maple Hill is given as having a. life of 4.5 years. But it is being reconstructed at present. The road from Newington to West Hartford. passing at the Newington depot, is also listed as having life of 4.5 years; but at present is be- ing reconstructed. Evidently the 4.5 year designation in these cases didn't exactly, mean that.
 The road from Plainville to Bris- tol is another 4.5-year prospect. but from Bristol to Thomaston the go- ing gets worse. and the highway is given only 8 e.3-year rating.
 The road which seems to hold up best in the state is that between Hartford and New London, which though built by the government during the war, Is still rated as a "1o or more" prospect. Uncle Sam knows how to build roads; con- tractors who peck away at this business can we'll learn something from the federal government system of building roads.
 This being a weekend, the fore going may be hot reading for those who discuss highways with the fluency of motor-car experts.

Inat IS the GlSt or contempt
 of court, not contempt of the judge or anything of that kind,
 but interference with the pro- per administration of justice.
 "Of course, after a trial. when everything is over. judges and juries and courts are sub
 ject to the freest criticism and
 that is part of our system. If,
 after trial, any newspaper thinks there has been a miscar-
 riage of justice 1t is perfectly
 free to say so, but only because
 it does not prejudice the man
 on his trial. You see the point?
 That is all I require of you,
 gentlemen. I hope you will look
 after your subordinates so that
 for the rest of this trial state
 ments are not published which can prejudice these two men,"
 That is one reason why Judge rhayer of Massachusetts is not 'contempting" any of his legion of critics. The trial is over: most of us are convinced there will be a of justice unless Sacco and Vanzetti are given another trial to make certain that all the evidence has been properly heard. Judge Thayer has nothing to com- plain about. The newspapers de- a new trial are endeavor- ing to do a public service.

editors" began the judge. After thia beginning, the judge gave the following sterling advice which all editors and court omcials, e we'll as the public generally. can read with an eye toward being in- structed about what really consti- tutes contempt of court"
 Tt is only in very extreme cases that the extraordinary jurisdiction of the court to fine or commit . newspaper editor for contempt is resorted to. Here in the Globes case think the heading. Brooks Flippant After Ruth's Death. is perhaps 2 statement. as 1t is in the headlines. which should not have been made. It Is true a witness said that. but to make a head line of it is probably . mistake.
 And as to the Mail and En- pire the publication of the ante mortem statement of Ruth Dembner and the fact that it would be contested. as the mat ter has not been in court, is quite improper. because 1t might prejudice fair trial. ] do not think either of those statements has in fact prejudic- ed this trial. I do not think they arc extreme cases which should be dealt with in a puni- tive way by this court, but l trust. gentlemen, knowing the high standard with which both of you conduct your papers that perhaps some additional super vision will be had over your re- porters. so that the complaint may not arise that a fair trial has not been had by these two men,"
 So much for the stage scenery; now for the milk in the cocoanut about contempt of court"
