privilege. They have their own ideas about temperance; we still stick to ours But certainly they made fine spectacle of Gov ernor Murray after advertising him as therr champion. Of course. it was dseouraging to find that he had at last sueeumbed to the spirit of the times, but better men than Governor Murray have done the same thing. How much better 1t would have been had the governor been permitted to speak first. Then the league defenders could have at tackled his statements and nobody would have given a minutes thought to the affair.
 As it is now their cause is only injured. If those who are interested in securing tenn perance in the United States would heed the examples of nations. far older and wiser in the ways of mankind than ours how much better off all of us would be. From time immemorial men have tried 10 impose just such personal restrictions as the liquor laws of the United States. And every time they have failed to secure complete aequlescenee. Even if there was a clear majority in the United States in favor of national prohlbl- ton it could not be enforced. A lively mi nority is entitled to its rights And in this particular instance that minority if 1t ever actually was that has grown to be maJor- ity of peoples, perhaps not majority of states. Hence any progress that the Anti Saloon League or similar organizations male in educating the peoples of the United States in temperance must be done in some fashion than browbeating or manifestations of faith in our principles, whether they are right or wrong.

A SINGER GETS RID OF HER TONSILS

Young woman studying for operatic career had tonss markedly unequal in size and con sistency, the left being ten times the size of tho right and peculiarly indurated. That means
 hardened. You see. the doctor didn't just look at her tonsils He felt of them. He is q good doctor. I've never met him. but plenty of his patients have told me about his work.
 At first he feared he was confronted with some such condition as Sarcoma, carcinoma or possibly lymphatic leukema, for he had seen such cases occasionally So he kept the patient
 under observation for time and checked up on the blood picture, with negative results.
 Having satisfied himself that there was no such grave condition the doctor gave his na- tent the electro -coag ulation treatment (dia-
 thcrmy) and after the fourth sitting she re-
 ported definite improvement in her voice.
 This same happy result might have been ob-
 ained from the old fashioned surgical removal
 of the tonsil, though at greater actual risk to
 the patients life and to her voice, believe. According to the actual pathological exam

 Unsklled doctors throat specialists may do buncling work with diathermy of course. But given an intelligent patient, l think the chances arc the patient will discontinue the treatment if the doctor is d bungling sort, be- fore serious damage is done when diathermy is used: whereas the patient has little chance to escape if the old Spanish method is used
 The more 1 SC of the results of diathermy treatment of infected tonsils and of the bloody method, the more l regret that the modern
 bloodess method is not suitable for children under five or six years of age. Such young patients cannot give the doctor the coopera- ton he must have from the patient. The old fashioned guillotine and snare or dissection method is still the method of choice for young children. Happily the present trend is away from the practice of removing childrens ton sils The observations made by Dr. Kaiser of Rochester, N. r., have caused most good phy- sicians to take more conservative view of this question, for as Kaisers investigation has proved it is doubtful whether young child benefits from the operation, even when the tonss are definitely infected Certainly good doctors no longer countenance the removal of merely large tonsils in early childhood.

GANDHI ANOTHER WASH
 INGTON

Editor of The Democrat:
 If the truth were known, Gandhi and his associates in India have more friends in the United States than one would be led to believe by what he hears from many of our public speakers, some of them Americans by birth but not in sem timent. How can anybody who makes his living on the lecture platform give expression to honest conviction when he knows that such a course would curtail his income. According to press dis patches from India, an American missionary in India got a broad hint to get out because he said something in favor of the right of India to self
 But the United States is not without men possessed of sufficient courage to say a good word for h. dia. In an address delivered in Hartford this week, Dr Henry w. Lawrence of the Connecticut Col lege for Women at New London, compared the character and work of George Washington and Mahat- ma Gandhi in way which was no discredit to the aims of Gandhi. Dr Lawrence said in part:
 "In the year 1882, nearly half q billion people are turning their at- tention reverently toward two of the greatest men of all time: George Washington and Mahatmn Gandhi. These two leaders of world movements, past and pres ent, offer striking contrasts. In appearance, for instance, of Wash ington it was said, His. person was fine, his stature exactly what one would wish, his deportment easy, erect and noble.' Along this picture, Gandhi shows almost a

More Structural Honors

Opening of the Arlington Memorial bridge this week was the event of the week for Washington. Coming as it did just about month before the start of the Wash ington Bicentennial it ushers in a year of general observance in which this entire na- ton, not to mention many other countries, will pay their poets to George Washington whom we proudly hail as the Father of Our Country. It is our purpose in this short article to talk more of the beautiful span that the engineers have thrown across the Potomac river It is part of noble plan that will eventually link in one chain the historical grandeur of this section of the nation.
 When President Hoover crossed the bridge in its official opening, he remarked upon its great beauty and mechanical perfection. He viewed it through the eyes of an engineer and found it satisfactory. The majority of us will view it as ordinary laymen and will also vouch for its ma estc proportions and symmetry. It is 2 l63 feet long and 90 feet wide It was started in 1926, although con eeived full century ago It IS constructed of reinforced concrete and faced with cut granite masonry, Nowhere could bridge be placed more advantageously. It is well worth the S7,500,000 that was spent upon it.
 It links directly the Lincoln Memorial and the Arlington National Cemetery where in are contained the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and the famous Custis Lee mansion. On the Washington side are the famous buildings included in the Capitol group. not to mention the Washington Monument. On the Virginia side the bridge exudes traffic directly on d road that will soon connect the nations Capitol with Mount Vernon; some miles below on the Potomac. This road will be in readiness this year for the millions of people who will throng to Washington and Virginia for the bi-eenten- na celebrations. What tribute to Wash- ington,

Well, it looks as if the desperate efforts to prevent transfer of Fitch's Home for Sol diers from Noroton Heights to Rocky Hill have utterly failed. The first patients from the old home arrived at the former Hartford Retreat Monday of this week. They will start preparing the new home for arrival of 50 more veterans within a week. Of course, new buildings are to be constructed, but many of those now standing are available for diverse purposes. A herd of 62 Holstein COWS will furnish the home with milk.

 George Washington was one of the wealthies, men of his time. Gandhi practices and urges volun- tary and complete poverty. He says, I tell you that 1t Is beyond description, the bliss. the happi 4 ness, and the ability that this vo untary poverty gives one.'
 ''In Washington's day the world was very large. Rebels were harder to subdue then at three thousand miles away than would be to-day at thirty thousand. On the other hand, the number of rebels to be subdued then was only about ono per cent of the number to-day; but they were not wofth 8 very costly war. Their share in supporting the prosperity of the British em- pire was not nearly so great as that of India to-day.
 "Washington believed in the use of war as an instrument of na- tional policy. Gandhi prefers non- violent obstruction going into prison instead of going into battle; boycotts instead of bombardments.
 "Washington's fame is securely established. He had the leading part In building nation. which 'sold' democracy to the modern world, and which by several stand ards of measurement, ranks high among the great states of history. Gandhi's fame awaits completion.

 I he governor acquainted these directors with the facts of his speech through copy. Without advising him in any way these self same directors placed his name at the end of the list of speakers and proceeded to instruct, or at least acquant. the previous speakers with the contents of the Murray address.

CONNECTICUT FOR ROOSE-
 WELT?
(New Haven Times.)


 Connecticut's members of the democratic national committee Homer S. Cummings, Archibald McNeil, Jr, and Mrs Lillian Abbott have aligned themselves definitely with the Roosevelt faction of the party. Since the three represent q fair cross section of Connecticut democracy, presumably we caa take their statement to mean deles gates from this state will go to the national convention pledged to support the New York governor.
 If the statement of the three na- tional committee members IS true indication of general demo- cratic sentiment in Connecticut. what can have happened to the in- cipient movement in behalf of Newton D. Baker of which there were rumors few weeks ago? What can have happened to have brought about this decision to back Roosevelt?
 There have been reports power full interests" were supporting have received the endorsement Of powers which command great wealth and influence. Although no good reason has been advanced as to why the interests should back a man of known and avowed liberal leanings, the fact he Is sus- pected of affiliation with Big Busi- ness apparently is enough to damn him in the eyes of Connecticut democrats.
 If this be the real situation. wee regard 1t as an indication of a healthy viewpoint. The Hoover ad has done little to convince voters Big Business was a helpful participant in national pol. itics. Dut such rumors should noe lie allowed, unsubstantiated. 10 block the candidacy of n man rf- garded by many persons as 'he most earnestly liberal and consci.. entious of the whole presidential candidate crop.

You can't blame residents of Bunker Hill for seeking public park or playground for that district One has been needed for many years. The Democrat has from time to time seconded such suggestions. One time it looked as if the city was about to acquire property on Bunker Hill avenue for just. such purposes. However, the plan failed to ma terialize and now the city, of course, has no money for purchasing land, whether it be for parks or playgrounds. Fortunately Waterbury has not had to spend great deal of money in securing such public lands Philanthropic citizens have always expressed themselves in gifts that have brought joy to countless of fellow citizens. True the city has spent thousands in de- veloping these tracts, but look at our parks today. They compare favorably with any in the state We want more and probably will secure them in the due course of time. We think Bunker Hill is entitled to its park or playground when land is available.

CUMMINGS FOR SENATOR?
( Bridgeport Telegraph

Indication that Homer S. Cum mings of Stamford is willing to become the democratic party's can didate for U. $. senator from Connecticut to run against Hiram Bingham this fall, is interesting and important. Interesting, be- cause MT Cummings is one of his partys most brilliant men, for- mer chairman of the democratic national committee, and force ful campaigner. Important, be- cause it means that Senator Bing- ham may have the fight of his life to retain the seat which he first obtained SO easily and gracefully by stepping out of the governors chair right after taking the oath.
 In any event it will be a con- test between two vets, for Senator Bingham in recent months has taken the leadership in Washing ton in fighting for an immediate modification of the Volstead act to permit the sale of four per cent beer. MT Cummings is a consti- tutional wet, and indeed it is hard to conceive of the Connecticut democratic nominating dry.
 Homer Cummings ran for the U. s. senate in 1916 but in spite of a vigorous campaign he was unable to overcome the normal republican majority in Connecti- cut at that time. A great deal of water has gone over the dam in sixteen years. We have a demo- cratic governor in Connecticut; a democratic house in congress-: democratic victories in the by-elec- tions everywhere, and the shadow of an impending tidal wave of po- liticaI reversal in the nation.
 Things are so evenly balanced in Connecticut that either party might win--r.. added inducement for the democrats to offer their best timber instead of their weak est, as is too often the party cus- tom when victory looks easy.
