Police Work For Jobless

Mayor Cermak of Chicago has an inter time increasing police efficiency. He sug- esting plan for making jobs and at the same gests that an appropriation be made from the local joint emergency relief fund and used for the employment of jobless men with families on police department work of a clerical or other routine nature Guiding school children across streets hospital detail duty and other services. he believes, could be assigned to such an auxiliary force This might release as many as 600 regular patrol men for the important work of fighting crime and preserving order.
 Nearly every city needs an augmented po- lice department, and nearly every city finds it impossible just now. for lack of funds, to add the needed patrolmen. Whether such scheme as Mayor Cermak's could be made practical without overthrowing civil service requirements or getting into political diff culties remains to be seen. At least it de- serves consideration.

Wellesley Mas! War is dumb di- plomasy." This Is handing t to the states men red hoti And it's the plain truth. What diplomats are supposed to be for is to keep their countries out of war, and yet look how they have bunsled the job. If diplomats were as good diplomats al, soldiers usually are soldiers, the nations wouldn't be where they are now.
 War is dumb diplomacy. Have that wisecraek framed and hang it up on the wall alongside of God Bless Our Home to look at every day. If it once soaked into the public mind, and then by telepsthy or eompuision into the diplomatic mind homes would be truly blest. War is dumb d- plomacy.' Tell it to your friends.

aoUNDLEss CAPE COD.
lHartford Times)

Ont Boston way some discussion has sprung up as to what are the geographical boundaries of Cape Cod. Be 1t noted that the .ques- 'tion arises, not for the sake or drawing a new line in a textbook but rather from the increasing de- sire of many to claim themselves to be Cape Codders. although they may have lived many miles inland. but perhaps not wholly beyond the reach of the sea tang that gives the Cape its flavor.
 The Boston Transcript, always faithful custodian of traditions held sacred in the land or the cod, believes the debate is unneces-. sary and that the fame of the Cape Is its true dimension. As a matter of fact the Cape may be said to end where the canal cuts across the peninsula at Bourne. But that would place such a "strict con- struction'' on the facts as to starye, the imagination of the hosts who think or feel they bear some resi- dential relation to that historic strip of land. The Transcript fondly applies a statement, said to; have been oratorically uttered in regard to the constitution. that it is bounded on the north by the aurora borealis, on the east by the procession of the equinoxes, on the south by primeval chaos, and on the west by the Day of Judg- ment." For the present, we think that leaves the question of Cape Cod area sufficiently flexible. When more room is needed the natives will take it without asking and outsiders will not object. Pre- rumably North Adams, at least. is' not on the Cape.

There are no bidders for Muscle Shoals
 the governments expensive fertilizer and potential electric power plant. down in Ala bama. And unless something happens pretty soon the American people are apt to step in and take the matter right out of President Hoover's hands. Both he and Calvin Cool idge have kept the matter dragging for long years. while the cost to the government mounts We actually wonder how some pub
 lie officials can talk about higher taxes, in- creased expenditures when they are deliber- ately adding to them by stubborness or poli- ties. Muscle Shoals should have been sold
 leased or placed under government operation years ago. The. available water power should have been put to work creating cleo trie energy. Yet every sensible effort is turned aside just because it isn't the policy of the administration to do it that way. The American Farm Bureau Federation is the latest to consider acquiring the Shoals We don't imagine the offer will amount to any, thing. Perhaps no more than Henry Ford's quite few years ago.

crisis in Great Britain has become more acute and the Wiggin com mittee of bankers has advised that German reparations must be scaled down if not forgiven entirely.
 The moratorium was regarded as & breathing spell after which Germany would be able to resume reparations payments to the Allies and the Allies would be able to re- sume debt payments. If there had been no moratorium, 1t was ex- plained, Germany would have gone to pot and perhaps the rest of Europe as well, leaving this coun- try worse off than ever. Now the same spectre. temporarily averted, again is dangled before Hoover's eyes, for there is no bright pros- pect that Europe will be any bet ter off at the end of the Hoover Year."The presidents course would be far easier if he could turn from that spectre without confronting a wild-eyed congress. an election year and the realization that the longer the moratorium Is extended the more 1t will seem to presage ultimate complete cancellation.

LAW IN THE GROWING.
(Hartford Times.)

NAA0Ak kAOAo
 September 90. public hearings are to begin on the tri-state anti pollution treaty to which Connecti- cut, New York and New Jersey may be parties. Unlike most legisla- ton this proposed law Is not being first handed down" by the legis- latures. but will be handed up" to legislative bodies for enactment. This proposal grows out of hear ings and will come before the en- acting bodies in virtually complete and perhaps final form.
 This is logically the case In refer ence to a problem which is techni- cal and as complicated as s the pollution of tidewater coastline and inter state streams. The legisla- tion sought involves far-reaching significance for each of the three states and for many communities within each commonwealth. Much more will be heard of 1t in the course of time.
 At the outset of the hearings en- gineers on sewage disposal. stream pollution and tidal action will be heard at length. Their Information will form the factual basis for the treaty provisions which will then be drafted. Once this proposed treaty has received approval by the three states each will enact laws making it's terms operative.
 This enterprise is not to be con- fused with the anti-pollution task which Connecticut has undertaken within it's own borders. but the two are nevertheless related in that coastal waters and the streams emptying into them form com- mon problem for the three states cooperating in the proposed treaty. It is a matter in which Connecticut, with it's extended shore line, has a very. large inter est. A wise solution will yield fm- portant results for the comfort and happiness of future generations.

TOILETTE MOVE

On September 24, 1917. the ex- pulsion of Senator Robert M. La Toilette, of Wisconsin, from the United States Senate, was de- manded in a petition addressed to the United States Senate by the Minnesota Public Safety Com- mission.
 The commission made this move upon the false basis of the report of a speech LaFollette made at St Paul. He was quoted as saving: "We had no griev- ances at the hands of Germany" But what he really said was that we had grievances"
 Formal charges against La Toilette were introduced by Sen ator Kellogg, of Minnesota. but the Senate committee which con- sidered them, by q vote of to ?, recommended the adoption of a resolution that the charges be 'dismissed for the reason that the speech in question doesn't justify any action by the Senate.
 This resolution was adopted by a vote of 50 to Fl. with Senator Kellogg, who brought the charges. voting to dismiss them.

Shopping Day Successful

A tremendous success is the report from Hartford on Hartford Day which was held Tuesday. It is estimated that the event, the first of its kind held in Connecticut, at- traeted 100000 people into the city. Ap- proximately S750.000 was spent between the hours of 9 a. m. and p. m. While that seems like large sum, it doesn't mean anything until some comparison can be made with average daily sales. However. when one department store head declares that there was 300 per cent increase over . normal days business, a person gets food idea of just what took place in Hart ford Tuesday.
 : Today is New Haven Day and we have treat hopes that a Waterbury Day will be announced in the immediate future. What an impetus to trade it would be in the Naugatuek valley. And what an immense amount of money would be circulated here. Money spent right here in Waterbury will do more good than money hoarded at home. In addition to values being exceptionally low there will be fresh stock of fall and winter goods to choose from and not end of the season remnants. We are heartily in favor of the idea and hope that Waterbury merchants will regard it as worth trying
 { Just reading about the event in Hartford is enough to enthuse anybody.

Matinee rates prevailed at all theaters until p. m. Bus and trolley traf- fic was doubled. neeessitating extra cars on suburban runs.

Governor John Garland Pollard of Vir- ginia is pleading with President Hoover to extend the duck hunting season in that state more than the 30 days. which has been generally prescribed this year. We hope the plea falls on deaf ears although it may keep some men out of employment. The Vir- ginia executive maintains that many natives of his state earn years living as guides and caretakers along the waterways They want a ten week season in Virginia. Wonder what the ducks say about this! Too bad they can't speak. 4

Legalized Beer

There has been so much said one way or she other about lega1iZed beer and wines .,ahis summer that neutral person doesn't actually know which direction to turn. He 2cr she should realize. though, that the man. pfacture of beers and wines would mean employment for many thousands as well as increased taxes for state and federal govern snents an item that has puzzled our most sastute statesmen of late. However we should not pay too much heed to the ex- ,trSvapant remarks of both prohibltionists sand vets on this subject.
 z Dr Daniel A. Polling, chairman of the Allied Force for Prohibition. for instance. points out this slight error in recent remarks sof well-intentioned antis. He says, in talk sing about legalzed beer and the unemploy- yrnent it would relieve, This is the worst blunder our friends, the vets. have made. Mir Busch talks about putting 100000 linen to work with the return of beer. MT MeDonough reduced the number by 50O,- 900. But in 19lz, the total number em- .ployed in the manufacture and sale ot in- 'toxieating liquorts was 498,90l. 409.465 of these were bartenders. Since the vets Are dead set against the return of the saloon. they must have in mind a tremendous in- crease in the whole beer enterprise.
 : Dr Polling is probably right in his figures For the time being we won't question them. But we do think that when Mir Busch and Mr McDonough said millions would go back to work with the legaization of beer they didn't mean exactly in breweries. Open- ing of breweries would employ thousands, But not millions. However. there are other avenues of employment going to be opened when breweries start running. There will bs kegs and bottles aplenty to be made and shipped. Then there might be an increase in the output of bottle tops. eappers. and other appurtenanees. And what about the additional acres of land that farmers could plant to hops, barley. etc.
 There are good many avenues of em- ployment to be opened by the legalization of beer and we are sure that the good Dr Polling is as aware of them as the next man. If he should choose deliberately to miseon- strue statements and support them with fig ures that are accurate all well and good. But his plea is just as extravagant as were those of the -prohibitionists. We wouldn't make personal estimate of the Aumber of jobs legalized manufacture of beer would create. We believe it would be large. We also believe the state and federal govern ments would find many of their financial worries at an end by dint of liquor taxes. never objectionable to anybody as far as we can remember.
