Brother Joseph

One of the great humanitarians of this century and the last one passed in the death of Brother Joseph at Honolulu this week. This eighty-seven year old Trappist monk had spent forty years among the lepers of Molokai Islands. Hawaii. Away back in 1886 he first came to Molokai to take the place of the revered Father Damien. From that day until last year he remained on Mo- lokai, not recluse by any means but an earnest and devoted worker among the lepers. A cataract developed on one of his eyes and he was finally forced to seek medical aid at Honolulu hospital. He fully expected to re- turn to his chosen work at Molokai. but evil dently his life work had been achieved.
 New England should take special interest in Brother Joseph for he was born at Stowe. Vermont, in l843. He remained in this sec tion of the country only four years. though, his parents moving to Wisconsin where he was reared and schooed. As d youth of he enlisted in the Wisconsin infantry at the outbreak of the Civil war and served with distinction throughout it. attaining the rank of captain Even at that time he was solicit ous for the welfare of his comrades. When the war ended Ira Dutton Chat was Brother Joseph's name) was actively engaged in col leetng the fallen bodies of soldiers and aiding in their identification. Those soldiers who were unable to secure work were given material assistance by the young soldier
 For almost twenty years Brother Joseph led quiet and exemplary life in Memphis, Tennessee. where he had settled. In 1883, however, he became convert to the Roman Catholic faith and entered the famous Trappist monastery at Gethsmane. Kentucky. If a man wished to suddenly withdraw himself from worldly contacts and experience the most rigid cloistered life he would have to do as Brother Joseph did enter the Trappist monks order. However. Brother Joseph did not remain long in Kentucky. In 1885 he went to the Redemptorist Fathers in Louis iana and the same year sailed for Molokai where Father Damien was then doing such marvellous work among the lepers. He had read and heard of Father Damien while in Louisiana.
 The rest of his life is more or less known to most of us. From time to time word would come from Molokai that Brother Joseph was carrying on the work that Father Damien started. The latter died three years after Brother Josephs arrival and upon the latters shoulders fell the task of preserving health and order among the afflicted. Brother Joseph never contracted leprosy through his forty and more years at eMolokai, In fact he remained remarkably healthy and robust. until his sight was impaired by the cataract.

We Subjugate A People

The visit of President Hoover to Porto Rico and the Virgin Islands has brought one fact home to Americans. And that is the pur- chase of these latter islands from Denmark in 1917 for S25.000,000 was not the wisest land investment that Uncle Sam has made in his many years of acquisition. Mir Hoover himself says. Viewed from every point ex- cept remote naval contingencies. it was un- fortunate that we ever acquired these islands. Nevertheless. having assumed the re- sponsblity. we must do our best to assist the inhabitants. :"
 One way in which we could restore to the islanders the ability to make an honest living would be to permit the manufacture of the celebrated St Crolx and bay-rum for which the Virgin Islands were famous at one time When one nation acquires possessions. includ- think that it has the right to deprive these people of an industry that has been theirs for generations. The quality of St Croix rum was known around the world at one time.
 
 gin Islands could not be made.
 But that is finished as far as the islanders are concerned. It will avail them little to engage in bootleggng for the islands aren't near enough to the United States to permit rum boats to make trips back. and forth. And anyway there are more convenient islands in the West Indies which the rum-runners patronize for their stock in trade. There even isn't much use for the islanders growing sugar. Just at present the islands are total loss save for the fact that St Thomas affords an exceptionally fine harbor. The. president recognizes this. But he does not explain that the effect of prohibition in this nation has wiped out the natural industry and sole means of living for the islands.
 We contend that no nation has the right to do that to any people. And we think that it would only be fair for he, government to permit the islanders to manufacture St Crox and bay-ru for exportation to foreign lands where it could be sold profitably. We believe that such permission would revitalize the Virgin Islands and give their inhabitants new lease on life. The proposal isn't original It came first from the islanders themselves in the form of petition to which. as far as we know. little or no attention yves paid We hope that plans for the Virgin Islands include the above proposal. the simplest and most logical.

And still we read and read about the rejection

And still we read and read about the rejection of Richard Joyce Smith as public utilities commissioner. The New Britain Herald re- gards the legislative action as follows: Not even the prize strategists could stand any at tempt to tamper with the sacrosanct Public Utilities Commission. however. A move to . replace Commissioner Afsop with Professor Smith. the latter an acknowledged expert just about broke the republican elephants back. And so the republicans rose and killed the other progressive plans of Governor Cross also. It's the same old story, of course. J. Henry rules the power companies and the Public Utilities Commission could make things very embarrassing for his concerns if it had the courage to protect the consumers instead of the owners. Therefore nothing must hap pen to the commission r" Some one Of these days the legislature, at least the repub lican end of it, is going to wake up and realize that it may have bitten off more than it can chew. Certainly if the voters could only have such men as the rejected Profes- sor Smith tell us just how antiquated are the laws under which the public utilities com mission labors we would be more apt to de- mand that the legislature not be so nasty in casting aside bills aimed to increase the eff cency of the commission.

TO-DAY'S SELECTED POEM
EASTER GARDENS
(By Violet Alleyn Storey In the

(By Violet Alleyn Storey In the
 New York Times) In every Easter garden seek the Christ! He will be there. even though your gar- den be But one small potted plant upon a sill Or brief glimpse of one dwarfed city tree He will be there; Light of the World He is: And every tiny bud knows now Ills Power. He Is the Resurrection and the Life, And without these could bloom no bulb sealed flower. So, where one bud has formed one blos- som blown,
 There He is also, though at break of day You cried, as Mary cried. "I know not where To find Him; they have taken my Lord away!' When dawn shines silver rcund one daffodil, The Lord Christ too will stand in Aprips sun, While every lily. every hyacinth. In petaled silence cries, 'Lo, death Is J done" When dawn reveals young leaves on an old branch,
 Flung down pearl-turquoise of a morn in spring Rejoice and look upon the symbol of That once dead Trees eternal blossoming! In every Easter garden seek the Christ! They laid Him in garden; there He'll rlse Even though your garden be one flower one branch,
 Christ will be risen there; go lift your eyes!

Just A Family Gathering

< The public hearing called by Mayor Frank Hayes yesterday proved to be just an old fashioned family gathering after all. Every body who could possibly squeeze his or her way into the aldermanic chamber was there ready and willing to voice an opinion on the management of our civic affairs Those who couldn't get into. the room remained in the corridor where much of what was said was relayed from mouth to mouth. All in all it was an orderly meeting. Mayor Hayes de- serves to be complimented upon the manner in which he presided and kept the various speakers to the topic for which they were there.
 Political parties were on trial yesterday and we think they came out of the fray unscathed. If the public hearing is any criterion there will be no change in our form of municipal govern ment for many years to come The mayor and council system may cover multitude of evils. but no more so than any other, com mission. city manager or what have you The main thing for any municipality is to select for its officials men who have the ability to rule wisely and who will use this ability for sthe best interests of their old home town. The merits of the city manager form of government have been expounded on too many occasions to discuss them here today. They would never induce this writer to vote for change in administration. The peo- pie like to feel some sense of power at election time. And what would Waterbury be with .out its biennial city elections? What l ask iyou? A lot of us derive some inward pleas use from the knowledge that our votes may or may not spell success for the candidates It is that sense of power that We are asked to drop for cut-and-dried affair in which personalities play no part whatsoever
 The hesitation expressed by many speak CTS yesterday was natural, They don't want to commit Waterbury to an experiment in government that may set the city back. finan- icially. industrially, and politically. No man ,who has been success in his chosen field wants his position threatened bys new fangled notions in city government that may prove SO revolutionary that the whole city will be upset. Waterbury will do well to pay attention, to Mayor Hayes suggested changes in the city charter before embarking upon more radical ones Secure copy of both the charter commissions report and the mayors recommendations Compare them. We think you'll side with the mayor. At least we do.

And while on this subject suppose we men ton an incident that occurred in the legislature Thursday Minority Leader Citron objected to the presence of Clarence c. Willard, secre- ,ary of the republican state central eommt- tee. standing alongside of the clerks desk in the house while vote was being taken on the public utilities bills. It recalled an historic event in Connecticut politics. We refer to the legislative session when the present public utilities commission replaced the old railroad commission. There was plenty of opposition to the measure from public utility interests. But as voting in the legislature progressed it became evident that the new commission would be approved. While the clerks were checking up ro vote lobbyists for the public utility interests circulated among the legs- lators and caused enough of them to change their vote which was permissible under the rules, if the result had not been announced. The bill was thus defeated. but enough senti- ment was aroused to put it through later on in the same session. There was no need for such tactics Thursday but evidently a close count was kept on the way the votes were going.

BIRTH OF. CoMENIUs

BIRTH OF. COIENIUS
 On March 28, 1892, Johann Amos Comenius., leading figure in the history of education, was born in Moravia.
 Though Inc did important work in the Moravian church, and was a prominent figure in the, Baconian attempt to organize all human knowledge in the encyclopaedia movement. Comenius exerted his most permanent influence in prac- tical educational work.
 Comenius was the first organizer and teacher of schools, not only arnong his own people, but later in Sweden and Holland. In his great Didactic" he outlines a system of schools that is the exact counterpart of the existing American system of education, from kindergarten to uni- versity. S
 Comenius also was the first to for mulate, the idea of education ae- cording to nature," theory 50 in- fiuential in later generations. An other aspect of his educational in- fluence was that on the subject mat ter and method of education. exerted through a series of textbooks of an entirely new nature. He composed the first picture book successfully adapted to the teaching of children.

A new calendar reform is being suggested now in competition with the l3-month scheme of George Eastman of kodak fame. Under the proposed arrangement we would retain the present 2 months. but would di- vide them into four squal quarters of 9l days each. Each year would begin on the same day and so would each week. The same day would fall on the same date every year. We don't think this plan will appeal to as many people as do the thirteen months year which is much more uniform. However there will have to be lot of talking before good many of US will give up the old for new regime. And by the way. if the new scheme doesn't start in 1893 it will be quite some time before January falls on Sunday again.

 Washington.-Cons of the old guard school are always shooting at the direct primary system and the progressivesg continue to defend it as warmly as ever. This battle, in which both sides appear to feel deeply and keenly, has been going on for years, 50 it's recent Skirm- | ishes are not any new story except l as they have developed new incl | dents of especial interest. For in- stance: iii .t~
 l. Al Smith. who as governor and presidential candidate dis played several of the unmistak able earmarks of progressive, scandalized nearly all the other progressives by asserting that he ! tenn was failure.
 2. The legislatures of Minne- sota and Montana considered measures which would have done away with their statewide pri- | maries.
 8. Progressive republicans. fol- lowing the recent progressive con- ference here, considered the sug- gestion to enter an opponent to President Hoover in most or all of the 17 states which have presi- | uentlai primaries III l33Z.
 Voters Take Little Interest. Arguments against the direct primaries are, briefly: Voters take little interest in political contests until election time. Party respon- sibility is essential and the pri- mary system enables parties to shirk responsibility although po- litical leaders are nevertheless still able to control the system m. Small minorities can dominate nominations through the primary Often the best available men for office refuse to enter such q hurly- burly free-for-all as primary The system results in election of incompetents. It requires large | expenditures of money.
 The principal answers to that sort of thing are: Primaries are the only means the people have the express their preference; with 1 out them they must choose be- tween two boss picked candidates between whom there Is often little choice. The system has often en- abled the voters to oust reaction ary men who have "sold out" to the selfish interests which domi- nate party organizations. Il brought an end to the good old l party COHVeHtlOn WHICH WaS CIidi acterized by corruption, bribery
 vote buying and promises of pat ronage. The political bosses can always control convention, but ,hcy can't always control q pri-
 mary. Poor men whom the peo-
 pie really want in office don't have to spend much money and wealthy crooks who spend large sums to be nominated in primaries have to spend them more honestly than they used to on conventions.
 | Smith Draws Fire.
 Al Smith deeply pained many oi his progressive friends by declar- ing against the primaries. Al said that he had originally thought the primaries a grahd thing. but that IS years of experience had con- vinced him otherwise. He soon learned. however, that 1t was talk ing more than IS years to con- vince most of the other old friends of primaries. They felt that Smith had lined himself up with aii the political bosses in the coun- try and the wealthy boys who stood behind them.
 His was the first widely pub lished attack on the primary sys- tenn eince that of Congressman

most important republican 1ead- CTS. It was the same sort of attack previously uttered by such conserva- tives as Senator Dave Reed of Penn sylvania and Charles c. Dawes. Among those who hastened to pan Al for his new views were Sena : tors Capper of Kansas. LaFollettc of Wisconsin and Walsh of Massa- chusetts. The progressive confer- encc also endorsed the primary sys-
 tenn.
 The proposal to, kill off the pri- maries in Montana--primarie which
 have produced Senators Tom Walsh and Burt Wheeler--has been defin- itely killed in the state legislature. The bill to abolish primaries in
 Minnesota, strongly opposed by Sem ator Shipstead, appears reasonably certain to meet similar fate. About 40 states now have nomi-
 mating primaries for statewide election contests and figures show that voters have taken an increas- ing interest in them. New York.
