The Opening Gun

Somehow or other we don't anticipate ihe heated struggle or the sharp differences of opinion that so many imagine will char acterize the democratic state convention to elect delegates to the national convention. When Jouet. Shouse delivers his keynote address this evening in Hartford. we imagine that the hundreds of democrats gathered there will be in receptive mood For de- spite the fact that Mir Shouse is said to be opposed to the nomination of Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt he is the man who proved SO big factor in dispelling the gloom that enveloped democratic ranks four years ago and which changed to glad ness two years back.
 It was this same Jouett Shouse who wiped out the sting of the Smith defeat of 1928 by the splendid congressional and state victories of l930. Mainly through his efforts the democratic party launched such campaign of pitiless publicity that Presi- dent Hoover came to be regarded as the man in the wrong position. Even under the whitening fire of the Shouse indictments re- publieans wilted in their support of their chief. And 1t was no idle talk or slander in which the democratic publicity bureau indulged. It was sound fact calculated to make men think and weight pros and cons.
 Connecticut will have sixteen votes in the national convention in June The delega- ton that will represent these votes will be in excess of that figure, though. Democratic party rules permit fractional votes As result the state central committee has de- eided to apportion the sixteen votes among thirty -four delegates. There will be ten delegates from the five congressional districts with one full vote apiece. There will be lwenty-four delegates with one-fourth of aYvotc apiece. And, of course, every dele gate will have an alternate. Setting fourth these figures shows that there need be no arguments among the state delegates as to choice of presidential candidate.
 h delegation of thirty-four two or more major candidates can be well represented. This states demoeratie delegation will be unpledged, save to Governor Cross we hope. No doubt it will be voted to give Governor Cross complimentary vote on the first bal- lots. It is the proper thing to do under the circumstances attending his election in this normally republican state. After that we presume that both Governor Roosevelt and cx-Governor Smith will be honored with votes with the delegation willing at any time to swing to the candidate who seems assured of the nomination. We anticipate Harmonious state convention. more so than would appear from reading the news papers.

engineers and safety men want to know how anything can be done about eliminating traf- fife dangsrs when motorists do not know anything at all about their cars. Instead of owners brasging about being able to ''take the old motor down and put CT together again without losing nut" we have race of drivers who brag about never having looked under the hood. They are ignorant of their cars mechanism. and proud of it. Thus when something breaks or comes loose or otherwise fails to function. they are helpless.
 Why this change? It is fatal effect of automobile improvement. Motorists form erly learned about cars because they had to. Millions got from the medel T Ford pretty complete mechanical education. Ford has given owners less and less to do Cars in general are SO much better that drivers no longer expect anything to go wrong. and may not carry even so much as a pair of pliers. A similar story might be told about radio. Who brass today of making his own radio set, or repairing it'

Governor Wilbur L. Cross is quite right in his statement that our state government IS overstaffed and should be reduced if we want taxes to drop. Speaking at Wilton last week he declared that T believe the people could have just as efficient government at half the price. Reduce the cost of govern ment and you can reduce the taxes. :" He also stated that the next Legislature would change the present system of taxation in this state. Judging by the governors re- marks he does not expect special legis- lative session to be called. It is in his power to do this. but to date the governor has not shown much sympathy for such a proposal. He probably fears as do so many of us that such a session would result in only more expense and little practical good. Perhaps our attitude toward the special session is unsel- fish. but we honestly believe that it could not hope to accomplish the immense amount of relief work that SO many believe it would do. Certainly there was ample op- portunity for the Legislature to do some- thing about our tax system last year. This same Legislature probably hasn't changed its mind since then. so why look for the i'm possible from it.

One More Bishop

Waterbury is acquiring quite reputation as producer of ecclesiasts of note. For some years now we have pointed with pride to two native sons occupying bishop rics. Just recently one of these was raised to the rank of Archbishop in St. Paul, Minne- sota. Bishop Dallas is still at the head of the Episcopal diocese of Vermont. Today we are proud to pay our respects to the Rev. Joseph E. Mccarthy, rector of St. Thomas Seminary at Bloomfield. who upon his conservation will become bishop of the dio- ccse of Portland, Maine which Archbishop Murray left this year for St. Paul.
 Father McCarthy's career as priest close ly parallels that of Archbishop Murray. Both were born and brought up in this city, attended the same school and left for Holy Cross College in Worcester, Mass. on the same day. Father Mccarthy entered the prparatory school at Holy Cross, while Archbishop Murray went directly into the college graduating in 1897 and the new bishop in 1899. He furthered his studies at Catholic University and at the St. Sulpiee Seminary in lssy France, where he was or- dained in 1903.
 His connections with St. Thomas Sem mary at Bloomfield started almost imme- diatey after bis return to this country. Again he was united with his boyhood companion, Archbishop Murray. who had become an instructor in the classical lan- gulges at the seminary. Thirty years of parish work and instruction at the seminary followed during which period Father Me Carthy became one of the most beloved priests in the diocese. He never in all this time forgot his native home and is still frequent visitor here, where two sisters. one h:sd of the Notre Dame Congregation at the Catholic High School, still reside. Waterbury can truly be proud of the honors that are pouring forth on her native sons of recent years.

PUERTO RICO
(New York Heraid-Trlbunc)


 Graciously and correctly the sen- ate and the house at length have passed the joint restitution that tho United States shall observe ofii- clally tho Spanish spelling of Puerto Rico. By inadvertepce, perhaps, rather than intent the form Porto Rico" was adopted on the islands change of sovereignty. 1t has no historical justification, and 1t is a llngual error. "Porot'' is not Spanish; 1t is Portuguese and Italian. A regard for tradition and proprlety of speech remands Puerto Rico. The hybrid Porto Rico" really wounds the. sensibility of the islanders. MT Pesquera, Resident Commissioner from Puerto Rico, said to the house that the true spelling "is of immense significance to the high feelings and patriotic sentiment of one and half million of American citisens in the island of Puerto Rico."
 Many foreign names hard for any but n native tongue are angli- clzed in 0 rough-and-ready way That, too, is a defensible tradition. But Puerto Rico is not. difficult. In general, tho proper spelling of Spanish names of places in the United States Is followed. Both In courtesy to the Puerto Ricans and for the sake of consistent accuracy Puerto Rico is good usage. The action of congress should help to make 1t current.

Perhaps the greatest shock that the House of Representatives has experienced at this session (and the session has produced good many) was last week when Rep. Edgar Howard, democrat. of Nebraska, signed petition to force record vote on the Hull O'Connor bill to legalize and tax beer. Rep. Howard was at one time secretary to the late William Jennings Bryan and shared all the Great Commoner's" beliefs in the evils of drink. His signature was affixed because as he declared. he believes firmly in the prin- ciples of initiative and referendum. The sit- uation today is such that public referendum on the 18th amendment is imperative.

News Then and Now

Critics of newspapers today accuse them of being sensational. forgetting that after all, news is news and some of it is bound to be sensational because that is the way human life is. A suggestion that news 300 years ago was not so very different from news today is found in quotation from Burton's Anatomy of Melancholy" pub- lished in 1921. New news every day." wrote that observer. Those ordinary rumors of war. plaques fires. nundations, thefts. murders. massacres, meteors, comets. spectrums, prodigies. apparitions, shipwrecks. vast confusion of vows. wishes, actions, ediets. petitions lawsuits. pleas. laws. proelamations. complaints, grievances. Then come tidings of weddings, entertainments. embassies trophies. sports plays. treasons, robberies, enormous villainies of all kinds. funerals. death of princes new discoveries
 and expeditions
 With that list in mind, the weeks news will be found to run pretty true to ancient form. There are other ways in which we have changed little. Of law and lawyers. Burton wrote: ITO see SO many law yers yet so little justice; so many laws. yet never more disorders" Did he refer to rackets! The world has changed greatly in physical equipment. but the human race finds its joys and sorrows and general ac- tivities little altered. These glmpses of the past and comparisons with the present are cheering or the opposite purely accord ing to individual viewpoint and tempera- ment.

Politics For College Folk

Mayor Walker of New York. in an n- terview published recently in the Yale Daily News was quoted as saying No finer career of usefulness is open to the uni- versity graduate today than service in the administration of public affairs" It is an interesting comment. all things considered. The Yale News seems to be seriously con- eerned with this matter of the college man in opiities. In an editorial not long ago. it remarked that the best men" would stay out of politics because fits just too dirty" That moved New York newspaper to ask the editors of number of prominent eol- lege dailies to express opinions on the same subject.
 A few of the college editors protested. but most of them agreed that the decent man could not get very far in politics as career. and stay decent. The daily Prince tonian said college men feel the futility of trying to achieve fundamental improvement against thoroughly and extensively organ ized forces which support the existing
 evils No one came forward with any other assumption than that decent man in politics would be something of phenome. non.
 All this is diseouragng. It conveys an impression that college undergraduates are not merely awake to the faults of our po- litieal life today. but are calmly resigned to them, hopeless of making any change or of bettering conditions. apparently not inter- ested in going into the game with the clear purpose of cleaning it up. Yet if the pres. ent generation of college men and women took up political careers as they came of age. with the true meaning of politics" in mind and with as much idealism and persst- ence as are put into social service and other respected careers. would they not be able to accomplish fine things?, One cannot help wishing they would try it in large enough numbers to make their presence felt in local state and federal governments.

very short space of time. Since the fsll of l93l Commissioner Macdonald reports that l9.377 square yards of pavement have been raised Often when roadways are built through swsmpy regions they sink in places. As a rule the road at these points is simply macadam or some such treated surface. When a sink occurs series of holes are drilled through the pavement into the subsurfaees. Mud is fed into these under heavy pressure. Slowly the highway returns to position and with just enough cement in it soon -hafdens. It's easy once it is explained isn't 1t!

A Mechanical Slump

A decade or two ago it looked as if Americans were developing into a nation of mechanics. As they began driving motor cars they naturally picked up great deal of mechanical knowledge. Often starting with parliamentary mastery of the motor mechan- ism. they proceeded to learn considerable obout mechanics in general. Mechanical terms were banded about familiarly. New words entered the language Half the men. and few women. were plainly mechanical minded.
 Now the trend is the other way. Traffic

the strange and tragic mosaic of human experience has a meaning; faith that there is to be, in a life that is better than this one. recom- pcnse for all suffering, healing for all wounds; faith that no life is ever really lost, than nothing fine and lovely and good is ever really wasted, that no agony of heart or loneliness of spirit ever goes un- noticed. e rt
 That is the faith that gets Us through life. We ioso sight of 1t, very often, and once in Q while we get the notion that we are 50 strong and so wise that we do not need 1t.

CATARACT IS OPACITY OF THE LENS

There are many popular rnisapprehensons would be dispcled were the health education of the public not so difficult. It was c. Ber- nard Shaw who told q medical convention in London that the family physician dare not tell his patients the truth lest they change doctors We'll, it's ticklish business telling the aity the truth, for a majority of aymen are still customers or prospects of all sorts of char latans and nostrum mongers and these bunk merchants can change teachers just as readily as wisecre layman can change doctors. The ancients imagined that the cloudng of vision in cases of cataract was caused by an opaque substance which poured down over the front of the crystalline lens, and hence the name cataract. The truth is that the opacity is in the lens itself, and not, as many imagine. a skin or membrane which grows upon the sur- face of the eyebal There are comparatively simple opacties which appear on the surface of the eyebalk such as tho scar left after the healing of corneal ulcer, and the peculiar little yellowish elevation which forms between the lids near the inner corner of the eye (called pterygilum). but these have nothing to do with cataract.
 Tn its early stage of development cataract is not perceptible to the casual observer, and of course 1t does not greatly impair the patients spells blindness but in fact never causes total blindness and exists for years in many in. stances before the patients sight becomes too poor for reading.
 Cataract is not hereditary. Some cases arc congental-the infant is born with the condi- tion-but these. cataracts of childhood rarely
 
 ualy amenable to operation, only 0 few such children going blind.
 The common form of cataract is that which occurs in persons of advanced age When one of sixty or older finds that no reading glasses give satisfactory clearness and reading or other close work brings headache and watery eyes, and especially when images of bright objects such as lamps are seen doubled and bright sunlight razzles, examination by the eye physi- clan (oculist) will not unlikely disclose catar- acts. srt @
 Not few persons have cataracts and never know 1t. Of course they do realize their eye- sight is not as good as 1t should be, but they may retain fairly useful vision for many years and never require any treatment. Good ocul- fists often note slight cataracts when examining the eyes and make no mention of 1t to the pa tIent. Why bring up an unpleasant subject?
 Diabetes Brights disease and cardlovascular degeneration are among the causes of cataract. Flashes of electric light of great brilliancy from short circuits are notorious cause, as Is exposure to the intense light of electric welding. Probably 1t Is the light, not the heat of furnace fires that produces cataract in men attending blast furnaces Cataract often results from injury of the eye. Prolonged uncorrected eyestrain is recognized cause and the de- creasing prevalence of cataract in this country may be ascribed to better lighting of work and better fitting of glasses nowadays

ALLIED AIR VICTORY
So we cling to Faith.

Oh May 16, 1918, flushed with victory fin the, air the day before. the British and French went 'aloft in Picardy and Flanders and ac- counted for 46 more German ma chimes. On May 15, bb were brought down.
 Italy and Austria were having 1t hot and heavy on the Italian front TO make up for gains made by Austrians the previous day. Ital. ian troops, aided by a whitening artillery fire, swept through Aus. trian lines at two points and on. tered Monte Asolone.
 British planes journeyed over saarbrucken and bombed the. city. causing much property damage and tying up troops and munition trains. During tho battle in the air five German planes were shot down.
