The Waterbury Democrat., 1932-08-25

Danbury has been ordered to make an engineering survey of its sewage system with the intention of establishing one that would eliminate all pollution of Stillriver. The State Water Commission issued the order this week. All of which will probably be sad news to the city fathers of Danbury, as any such survey entails some expense. But the burden will fall later when the city de- cides to install bigger disposal plant than the one it now has. From the report it is evident that the present system cannot care for either domestic sewage or industrial wastage. It will be interesting to see how Danbury deals with such problem as this faced as it is with relief demands, such as are common in Connecticut. Waterbury has not done much work on its new sewage system of recent months, although the new sewers now being installed in Watervlle will all be part of the mammoth disposal system planned to- eliminate pollution of the Naugatuck and Mad rivers in our city limits. We have our trunk line up the Naugatuck river to Waterville. All that remains to be done is hook up laterals with this. But first there must be an exit on the lower end of the trunk lines where the sewage may be treated and. if we are not mistaken. another trunk line must be built up the Mad river. It will be some years before our system is ready for use.

Best Laid Plans

! Republicans of Connecticut are dreaming and mammoth dimensions these days Hav- ing been interrupted in their administration of state affairs two years ago by democratic infusion in the person of Wilbur L. Cross lhey are scheming to regain their laurels this fall and thus restore their state of equilibrl- um. Whether they do this or not it is en- tcrtaining to read and hear of the many things they will do in the next few months. 1 For example. we just learned that if Presl- dent Hoover goes back to office next March. . he will make Senator Frederick C. Walcott . of Norfolk member of his cabinet. Just what department he will take over hasn't yet been announced.
 In the event of this special senatorial election would result and for the republican nomination former Governor John H. Trumbull would be offered. He would be elected and republicans in Connecticut would feel more comfortable. Incidentally Ex-Governor Trumbull is scheduled to ad- vance in the same manner as did Senator Bingham. That involves the nomination of Trumbul for governor next month. although he has forcibly informed g.o.p. leaders that he will not accept it. Second place on the ticket seems assured to Cliff ford B. Wilson of Bridgeport who held that office once upon a time but lost favor with the state organization and was dropped.
 In the event that Trumbul was nomI. hated and elected governor his election to the senate would necesstate his resignation as governor and result in the elevation of Wilson That would duplicate the situa- ton in 1924 when Bingham was elected governor, then senator at a special election, whereupon Trumbull stepped into the gov ernor's office and remained there for six years or three full terms. lacking one day And that dear readers is the faneiful tale that republicans are actually telling when good fellows get together. It's fanciful and to us the only incident that seems tinged with reality is the mention of Walcott for Cabinet post.
 We would not be at all surprised to find him offered Cabinet portfolio if President Hoover is reelected. As for the rest of the imaginative rumor it just is unlikely. There
 is more than an even chance that Governor Cross will sweep the entire democratic ticket into office this fall. There is almost as good chance of Governor Roosevelt carry
 ing this state for the first time since Wood row Wilson did so in 1912. However. the above makes good reading. But until our republican brethren hit upon more concrete
 ideas the democrats won't feel much con eern for their chances in November.

History Repeats

We don't know why anyobdy ever said that history never repeats. It has been proved the opposite is true SC, many times. The conservation of Bishop Joseph E. Mccarthy at Portland. Maine. yesterday. was fitting example of our assertion. Ills elevation to the bishopric yesterday was parallel to that of Archbishop John c. Murray. who preceded him as head of the Diocese of Maine and who now presdes over the archdiocese of St Paul, Minnesota. Like Archbishop Murray Bishop Mccarthy is native of Waterbury. Like Archbishop Murray, he furthered his education at Holy Cross College in Worcester.
 No doubt we could draw the parallel much finer than this but the above is suf- fiecnt And today Waterbury rejoiees in the elevation of Bishop Mccarthy as it did when Archbishop Murray went to Maine and when earlier this year he left the East to become Archbishop in the Middle West There were many Waterburians present at the ceremonies in Portland yesterday. Their very presence was evidence of desire to pay their compliments to the new bishop. There are many more people here in Waterbury 2 who might have liked to be present. but were unable. whose felicitations we know wceonvey to Bishop Mccarthy through this column.
 Waterbury enjoys an enviable reputation as cradle of the ministry Three native sons stand high in the hierachy of their : respective churches. How many others ;, also rebound to the city's credit in their 7 dsily cndeavors to preach the gospel and al,:d us to everlasting salvation' We know that Bishop McCartny's conservation We'd ncsday will but serve to endear to him all that binds him to this his native city. We offer him our felicitations and wish him well in his new work for which we, as well a. all Waterburians. know he IS SO well equipped.

The postoffiee department claims that it has saved this nation two or three billion dollars in the last few years Foreign lot teries were making such an appeal to this nation as the day of the big stock pools waned that everybody was leaping at the opportunity to make little easy money. although the odds might be million to one against you. It is difficult now to smuggle in lottery tickets And since U. s. laws forbid them. we presume the coin hitherto spent on tickets is going to some other pur- pose. But what? We'll admit that we go in pretty heavy for gambling. but just think of the illegitimate forms of gambling em- ployed so successfully by our businessmen under the guise of speculation and invest ment.

 The ssT. R." Parade The republicans are parading the surviving members of the famous Teddy Roosevelt family to convince voters that Franklin D Roosevelt is neither the son of T. R. or T. R. himself.
 They doubtless will succeed, but 1t reminds me of my fond hopes last spring that the g. o. D. would nominate Theodore Roosevelt and the democrats Franklin D. Roose- welt and Senator Marcus Coolidge of Massachusetts. Let's all plug for those tickets in 1898 and then dare the politicians to keep us from get- ting all mixed up!
 The Terry Roosevelt relatives in this campaign seem to be better known--Alice, young Ted and Mrs T. R.-but judging from the pic- lures in the paper, there are more active members of Franklin's tribe including the missus, two lovely daughters and Q grandchild. The democrats would seem to have a fair chance of out -Roosevelting the republicans in the long run.

Members of Grove Circle No. SO
met at the lodge hall on Thursday,
August II. 1t has been three years
and two months since June Grove was
organized here. A brief history con-
corning the Woodmen Circle is given
below:
The Supreme Forest Woodmen Cir
Gle was organized in Omaha, Neb.,
in 1891 by the officers of the Wood
men of the World, and was composed
Of members of the Woodmen of the
World, their mothers, wives, sisters
and daughters. The first beneficiary
certificates were issued in 1898. In
1895 the society was Incorporated; an
Office separate from the Woodmen of
the World was established; the first
Monthly Tidings, a magazine for its
members, was published and is still
published.
The Woodmen Circle affiliated with
the National Fraternal Congress in
1902. In 1907 women replaced men
in all national offices. Effective jan
uary 1, 1920, the society was placed
on a legal reserve basis. A juvenile
auxiliary was established in 1922.
The Society has erected and main
tains home for aged members and
orphan children at Sherman, Tex, and
recently completed a second unit for
orphan children, the Pennsylvania
Cottage. A national headquarters
building at Omaha, will be ready for
occupancy the first of next year.
April 1, 1882, the society's assets
had reached the $26,000,000 mark.
More than $25,0O0,OO0 of this is in
vested in municipal, county and school
bonds. There are more than 10000
adult members and more than $4,000
junior members of the society.

THE MARYLAND BIBLE SOCIETYS CORNER
'"The Word of Our God Shall Stand Forever

was chosen on the Republican ticket
to the second branch of the City
Council. Mr.. Kelso esteemed the hon.
or conferred on him highly, saying:
~ would rather be member of the
Board of the Bible Society and the
Tract Society than a member of the
United States Senate" Mr.. Kelso
lived only a year to enjoy this honor,
when he was succeeded, in 1895, by
Mr.. German H. Hunt.
Mr.. Hunt was a Methodist and was
prominent in the organization of the
Baltimore Trust Company. He was
born in 1929, and, learning the trade
of a machinist, associated himself
with Robert Poole in 1851, in the
firm of Poole and Hunt, which carried
on very successful business in
Woodbury., from which Mr.. Hunt re-
tired in 1889. He served as President
of the Merchants and Manufacturers
Association and of the board of d.
rectors of the Maryland Institute.
During the later years of his presi=
dency he was often absent from the
meetings of the board of managers,
at which times the chair was taken by
one of the vice-presidents, Mr.. John
P. Ammidon or Mr. Benjamin F. Ben
nett.
In 1902 Richard X. Cross, Esq, be-
came president of the Society. He
was strikingly handsome man, of
rare charm, a graduate of Princeton,
an ardent yachtsman, an elder in the
Presbyterian Church, a lawyer of
good ability, who gave much time to
the Society's interests.

We have come now to the contem-
porary period of Maryland Bible So
ciety history. From 1885 to 1894 the
affairs of the Society were guided by
Mr.. Charles Markell, who as president
brought a ripeness of judgment and
experience which eminently fitted him
for his task.
Mr.. Charles j. Baker gave but one
year of leadership to the Society, but
added much to its progress and devel-
opment during that time. Mr.. Baker
was born in 1921. He was graduate
of Dickinson College, and was a de-
voted member of the Methodist Epis-
copal Church. He was a manufacturer
of window glass, bottles and paints;
was president of the City Council in
1860-62; was editor of the Baltimore
Exchange newspaper; was president
of the Canton Company and of the
Franklin Bank. He was largely in
strumental in building the Union rail-
road with it's tunnel under the city.
During these two presidencies the av-
erage number of volumes distributed
was $1,000 a year.
Eighteen hundred and ninety one
was a good year for the Maryland
Bible Society. We learn that in that
year three colporteurs were employed
in Baltimore in the winter and six in
the summer in the counties. Nearly
$4,000 was received in gifts, and
$1,000 given to the American Bible
Society, which, however, received
nothing in 1892.
In 1894 Mr.. John R. Kelso was
chosen president. He was promi
nent hardware merchant, and in 1892,
