Family De.erters

Social workers report more cases than usual of men who desert their families. ''Non- supporters are disappearing into the un- known distance. It must always be so fol- lowing periods of business depression. Sup porting family calls for real work. Men of an indolent disposition should not attempt it. They would do better to avoid beguilng some good woman by their wheeling ways. to join their doubtful fates. They are not fitted to assume the cares of family life. and have neither earned its joys nor have they prepared themselves to carry its loads.
 After man of that type has worried along for some years with bills for food and cloth- ing and rent. life looks dark to him. Some women aggravate the situation by constant nagging and failure to do their share toward happy home. But whether or not the wife IS partly to blame, the man begins to regret the freedom of his single life. Then if hard luck comes. unemployment, illness etc, the joys of family life have turned to dust and ashes, and he dreams of making new start free of all encumbrances. Some fine day, his place is vacant. and the pathetic and shabby wife is left helpless with hungry children. clinging to her fral skirts.
 Marrying woman and having children and then not standing by these dependent ones is about the limit of meanness. If man has had hard luck. any good woman will make allowances. and either help earn money or at least refrain from reproaehing her husband for things he can't help. The man who drops out of sight and leaves woman to fight her battles alone. should be pursued and led back by the ear. and made to work if work can be had or else he would better go to jail.

Thy Will Be Done

T In an effort to assume an air of righteous {. ness the republican party took Governor Will bur l.. Cross, democrat. to task yesterday in sthe Legislature for making political capital of the New Haven city court judgeships. The lexcoriation came during vote on the gover- llncr's veto of bill returning the appointment fof these judges to the General Assembly
 from whom it was taken by legislative action l back in 1917. Strange as it may seem the
 brunt of the attack was carried by Senator Jacob Caplan of New Haven. the eity's sole Irepublican legislator at this session.
 < We might not have stopped to comment Eupon the overriding of the governors veto Eff Senator Caplan had not chosen to make his accusation. This action by the Legsla- ture was expected by all. But Senator Cap
 Ian served as judge of the New Haven city fcourt by gubernatorial appointment and if as he says the present method of naming the judges is unconstitutional his appointment is just as void as those of other republican judges who were named by republican governors without one sign of protest from republ- can legislatures. As the Hartford Courant says the republican party can twist and turn las much as it likes but it can't get away from the fact that the state regards this action of edeprivng a democratic governor of naming the city court judges of New Haven as desire to retain political patronage in New ! Haven.
 Just as we have preached for many years continuous power is bad for any political party. It begins to look in mirror and finds the reflection pleasing. It swells with pride every time its name is mentioned. It never for minute countenances any plan or proposal that might rebound credit to any .other political faction. Its will must be done regardless of the consequences. We have seen how the republican party has swelled out { of all proportions of late years. It becomes more evident when the minority party assumes "a belligerent attitude and forces the issue talk ing away the principal stake-the governor ship. Now that the democrats want to play ball with the republicans they are trying to collect the bat. the gloves, and the ball and go home. They won't play
 To our way of thinking Governor Cross ' has been more than fair in his legislative dealings with the republican party. He has tried to maintain balance in his appointments at the same time looking with keen eye at the merit of the candidate. Where the judi eiary is concerned he seeks to make the courts bipartisan with neither party superseding the other. Heretofore 1t has been next to impos- sible to have republican governor name a democratic judge, let alone commissioner. Of course republican control of the state was maintained in this way by excluding demo- lcrats from every branch of the state govern ment. But those days are gone forever. And Senator Caplan is just fourteen years too late with his charge of unconsttutionality against the New Haven judgeships. He should have thought of that in 1917 which was about the time when he was on the New Haven city court bench

 If the. courts uphold Smith, they will be giving the senate a sound spank; if not. the president will be on the receiving end. y

Mrs William Hilton. of Cambridge, Mass ought to get in touch with William M. For grave. former superintendent of the Massa- ehusetts Anti-Saloon League. Mrs Tilton is chairman of the newly organized group of women fighting for retention of the 18th amendment and its eoncomtant liquor laws Early this week she challenged the statement that Senator David I. Walsh, also of Massa- ehusetts, made anent returning liquor control to the states. Mir Forgrave has turned his back on his former comrades and wonders if prohibition can be enforced in this nation He declares that it is useless to spend SO much time and money on such an experiment and proposes state liquor control in the follow ing statement: "A system which would pro- vide for the sale of alcoholic beverages in re- strieted quantities, at cost through govern ment agencies to licensed citizens would. no doubt. be next best to prohibition enforced and better than prohibition not enforced. Conditions in general have improved under prohibition but certain evils have accom- panied this new national policy and should these evils continue to grow and finally war; rant change. it would be we'll for the seri- ous-minded citizens to have a well-thought- out plan to be adopted as substitute and not leave the directing of this movement to those who have no program except the return of booze.

Still Going Strong.

One by one the great fairs Of Eu-
rope have passed away, but Leipzig is
greater than ever it has been. 1t Is
the worlds one annual international
fair. 1t has been held since before
the twelfth century, and when there,
Leipzig always provides more than a
fair, for it is a city Of unusual in
tereSt, and every tourist seeks out
Auerbach's Keller on Grimmaische-
strasse, to do honor to the episode SO
famous in Goethe's Faust"
This years fair took place during
the first week Of March. The city has
one exhibition hall twice the size of
the old Madison Square Garden and
there are 80 other halls. During the
fair week the whole city is given over
to suitable festivities, chiefly of the
nature Of pageants.
The Nepoleonic wars and the World
War failed to interfere with the Leip-
zig fair.
