FEWER J0BLESS PASS
THROUGH D. c. IN APRIL
Transient Service Bureau Attrib.
utes Decreases to Open Weather
Season.

Only half as many unemployed men
passed through Washington last month
as in March, due to the seasonal i'm
provement Of employment, according
to the monthly report of the Districts
Transient Service Bureau.
This improvement can be attributed
to the open weather season rather than
any general economic improvement"
the report read.
There has been a gathering of men
around the Lake ports preparing for
the opening of the season in Nav.
State roads and other construction Jobs
in the North are opening up and at
least are drawing men away from
vicinities where there is a dearth Of
large construction jobs.
1.-The decreasing number OF men
stopping at the Municipal Lodging
House and other missions here as well
as the smaller amount of relief neces-
sary for the individual shows that the
homeless man Is spending less time
in the city and is moving toward the
sections which may offer employment.
I'VE have been able to increase the
number Of cases with which construc-
tive work has been done"

FISH AND ITuITIES

It seems that public utility con- cerns, having obtained charters to the waters of certain lakes in the state. have been thinking they also control the fish therein.
 At at rate, the Norfolk Water company, which has charter rights in Lake Wangum, had an idea it owned more than rights to the water and sought to prevent folks from fishing in the lake.
 IL may he irritating to water com panies to have fishermen trying their luck in lakes used to furnish water for human consumption, but the law is the law. The Norfolk com pany. according to a rather import ant announcement from the attorney generals office. does not own the fish: which leaves the fish to the regulatory powers of the state board Of fisheries and game.
 How much that means 10 fisher men depends altogether upon the state board.

MIR. PApE AND MR. RORABACk


 William J. Pape Of Waterbury l. q good Republican, Indeed he is entirely too good for the Repuo- ljcan organization in the state. The newspaper publisher is intent upon purifying the party. He is boring from within" and his gimlct is no toy
 He is a candidate for the Republi- can nomination for state comptrol- Ter on the independent Republican ticket beng built up by. Professor Albert Levitt. These two Siamcse twins in Connecticut politics are pro- viding the best cducationa cam paign-politically speahing-that the state has experienced for many years.
 The latest item put out by Mir. Pape is a letter addressed 10 all Re pubicans in Waterbury, which letter urges them to assist in e'ecting delegates to the Republican state convention pledged 10 unsoat John Henry Roraback.
 The letter should be addressed 10 all Republicans throughout the en- tire state. The Papc-Levitt combina- lion should see that it gets in all the papers, even if it IS necessary 10 pay straight advertising rates.
 Mr. Pape in his letter says that J, Henry Roraback, has no right to be chairman Of the Republican state central committee; that this dual connection is discreditable to the Republicans of Connecticut
 Which is not highly original but Republicans need to realize it more, What follows, however. has the ring Of battle:
 He must retire or he forced out, and when lie goes he must not bt allowed to name his successor and thus retain control of the party for the benefit of his lighting and gas interests"
 That is a wholesome thought, Mir, Roraback perhaps as yet has not selected his successor. and the attack upon him is taking on such momen- tum that he may not have time.
 One of the prettiest paragraphs ir the letter is this one:
 We have no adequate regulation of public utilities in Connecticut because MT. Roraback does not want liis companies adequately regulated
 For their own ultimate good, the electric light and gas interests should get out of politics and stay out, submit willingly to proper super vision of their affairs and trust tc Connecticut common sense to sec that .AeT ,Is treated fairly"

STATE ENFORCEMENT REPEAL

Repeal ot the state prohibition en- forcement act at the 1881 Legisla- turc is considerable of a probability. The fight already has begun where politicians gather. Most politicians, by the way, are wet regardless Of their parties.
 One Of the questions which should be settled before that time is the ar- titude of representatives and sena- tors on the question of prohibition when the caucuses are held through out the state 70 nominate the candi- dates.
 That the question Of ditching the state enforcement act will he a major issue in the 1851 Legislature is indi- catod from the opposition that is cropping up against the nomination 0, Lieutenant Governor Ernest E. Rogers as candidate for governor.
 Mir. Rogers, even before prohibi- lion became a fact. was dry. He is still dry although he has let it be known that if nominated he will support whatever platform the Re publican party adopts regardless O. his personal preferences. Which IS good enough as far as it goes; but there will remain a feeling among the anti-prohibition Republicans that it is better 10 have man who sympathizes with their motives a. the head of the ticket. That IS why they do not take kindly 10 the se- lection Of Mir. Rogers as the Eepub- lican candidate.
 Rather than have that happen they prefer that Governor TrumbuIl run again at the head Of the Repu- lican party. Republican vets have confidence in Governor Trumbull he cause of his previous activity while in the Lcgislature against ratlflca- ton of the 18th amendment by Con- nccticut in 1919. MT.
