The Adaptable Washington

The more one learns of early American
history and of the part played in it by
George Washington, the more one realizes
how truly great man he was, He had
many talents and used them all we'll in what
ever private work or public service he was
performing. As youth he was reliable.
observant and keen. Those traits helped TO
win him the advancement and opporthnl-
ties which came to him as young man.
Other fine characteristics developed as the
man grew.
Considering bis true capabilities and &C
complshments, it is strange that Americans
have so generally made him more of a statue
than man. This tendency has made 1t
almost necessary for modern historians to
dwell upon his faults and weaknesses in
order to restore him to humanity.
The lesson contemporary Americans
should learn from Washington life is to
meet conditions as they arise. to face facts
squarely and TO act upon them, to continue
pioneering as he did. If he had not been
able to do that, he would never have got
his revolutionary army through to victory
and never consolidated the victory in bold
governmental experiment. He said some
thing against entanglng alliances, but he
knew when it was wise to accept foreign CO.
operation. The military skill of the Ger
man Won Steuben and the support of France
helped him in the war for American indie
pendence.
Washington himself probably would be
shocked to learn that his Farewell Address.
so we'll fitting the situation then existing,
has been taken almost literally by some
Americans as a guide to national conduct
forever. The principles he set forth there
are sound and wise. but they should be APP
piled according to the need of the times.
That is how, he himself would have made
use of them.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1932-02-19

law enforcement in this country. But what
effect has its finding had on actual conduct
of the government business. None at all.
Even MIR Hoover intsrposed when the COM
mission was going to advise for outright
repeal of modification of the prohibition
laws
True, there are many bureaus not merely
in our federal government but in the state.
They should be eliminated or united with
others TO do away with expense and need
less doubling up of work. President Hoover
said in the course of his remarks that there
are from $50 to 200 separate units in the
federal government. When the task for
which they are created ends the individual
unit finds something else to do, even if IT
is in the sphere of another unit. Winding
up his rather sensible arraignment of these
expensive bureaus the president proposes
four new ones, although he does maintain
that in time they might save as much as
$4,000 annually.
AS far as we can see Uncle Sam is busy
ing himself too much in matters in which he
should not be concerned The free and un-
encountered action of the individual states
has suffered as a result. The height of in
reference was when the nation permitted
itself to sanction the Is 9th amendment to the
constitution. thus transferring to the federal
government privilege that is distinctly each
states. If Mr. Hoover is sincere in his en-
deavor to rid this country of bureaucratic
government he ought to insist upon the
preservation of states rights and home rule.
1t has only been since their downfall that
government by federal bureaus has increased.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1932-02-19

Representative John Q. Tilson of New
Haven has always been devout Hoover
apostle. He proves it oonclusively by his
latest conference with the president in the
course of which he stated that there was
definite Hoover movement in Connecticut.
What Mr. Tilson meant to convey was that
the hostility towards MIR Hoover was not as
marked as it was last summer and fall. That.
of course. is due to attempts at financial
rehabilitation in which both democrats and
republicans should share alike. neither side
claiming the honor of ending the depres-
sion. But we don't think Mr. Hoover will
poll as many votes in Connecticut in 1882
as he did in 1928.

Hawks and Owls

a naturalist calls attention again to the
unwise warfare waged against hawks and
owls. None of the owls are harmful, he
says, and most of them are highly beneficial
to farmers. All but two of our American
hawks do more good than harm, and even
the harm dorc by the sharp Skinned hawk
and Cooper hawk is negligible. The most
common hawks be insists are very valu
able to agriculture because of the harmful
rodents they Kill.
These facts. are supported by the United
States Department Of Agriculture. Yet in
some state bountes are offered for killing
these birds, and in some. the game wardens
are setting traps for them The traps
catch not only the supposedly destructive
birds, but others against which no charges
have ever been made. A growth in real
knowledge of orthodoxy and love for bird
life and other harmless forms Of wild life
should overcome these old-fashioned pre-
JUDGES and practices.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1932-02-19
Here, There And Everywhere

Since the last session, the situa-
ton in the house has significantly
changed. The democrats, not the
republicans, are in control, and in
asmuch as they have usually IA
vored the proposed amendment, its
chances, of adoption seem consider
ably better. Indeed, the question Is
less whether or not the house will
adopt the resolution than whether
or not they will modify the amend
ment. AS now proposed. 1t provides
that congress shall convene on jan
uary 2 of each year and that the
presidential inauguration shall be
held ON January 5 Of every fourth
year. While the house Last year
agreed to abolish the lame duck"
amendment Is chiefly aimed, 1t add
ed the provision that in every Sec
ond year the congressional session
should expire on June a. provis-
ion intended to eliminate the pos
sibility that congress might sit
continuously which Is now pre-
vented by the provision that the
short term. so called. shall end
| on March 4. Frs Ella. ,
Much is to be said for providing
n rest from congressional sessions.
On the other haid, the objection
may be made to the proposal to
set fixed date for the adjourn
ment that It would tend to encour-
age filibusters Of the sort that now
mark the close Of virtually every
short session. When a date for ad-
journment Is fixed. the opportunity
Ia created for any member of con-
gress, notably the senate. where the
are more lax, to hold the floor al
m st continuously. thereby making
the enactment of business almost
impossible. The weather of Wash
ington in summer may be in itself
sufficient safeguard against con-
tinuous sessions. for the occasions
upon, which congress has sat after
the first Of July. save when re-
| quired to do so by such extraor-
binary circumstances as war. are
not many. In the long run, the
humidity may be as surea safe
guard against congress as the con-
stitution. @

Will Ii Work Out?

Ii may become necessary for Hartford TO
dim one-third Of its street lights to meet
reduction in the appropriation for this pur-
pose The Finance Board in working on
the budget has slashed $4,000 from the
street lighting appropriation. The Street
Board believes that the only way that it can
comply with this drastic cut is to eliminate
one third of the street lights. But it doesn
know whether or not it can proceed to do
so without running into legal difficulties.
I The Common Council has the right to au-
thorize installation of street lights. 1t stands
J to reason that it might also be the only
!. body allowed to do away with any in such
drastic fashion as proposed.
! At any rate every community in the state
+, will watch Hartford tackle this problem. 1t
j, is seldom that city or town eliminates
street lights. Usually there is demand for.
more and brighter ones. although there does
come an occasional request for removal of a
light or shielding to prevent glare on 'front.'

J Hartford Electric Company nor its parent,
! the Connecticut Light and Power Company.
! Nor for that matter would any concern like
. 10 see $4,000 worth of business taken
away from it.
At present Hartford has a monthly light
ing bill of Sl7,27l for street lighting. The
$4,000 cut means over 5000 a month,
/ which the street department estimates, will
necessarily eliminate every third light now
Illuminated. The number of street lights in
Hartford is at present 1896. 1t would be
cut to | .264. Offhand this may sound like
a good plan There are several butts
however. If there should be an increase in
the number of pedestrians injured or killed,
I, il might justly be proved that the city was
a: fault in not providing sufficient light.
There might also be an increase in the
number of falls on slippery or defective
pavements due to poor lighting not to
mention an increase in holdups, We have
TO see the plan in action before advising SIM
liar retrenchment in Waterbury.

Rich In Brilliance

We agree with John w. Davis democratic
presidential candidate in 1924, that the
democratic party this year is richer in presl-
Dental talent than it has been for many
year. Mr. Davis who himself is in line for
The nomination among many Others, be
leves that the democrats have the best chance
Of winning the national election than they
have since the r oosevelt-T aft schism in 9l2.
We echo his sentiments. In fact we pointed
out many months ago that there was such
! a wealth Of talent in the democratic ranks
that there would be much discussion before
the strongest man had been chosen.
!. The republican party is committed TO
1.-THE nomination of President Hoover.
Although there was steadily rising sentl-
nent in 1881 towards shelving of the man
who had been hailed as a worker Of miracles
. this feeling has been replaced by the knoWl-
edge that to do that would be to admit
defeat. And the republican party has be-
fore it constantly the precedent Of never deny
ing its president the chance to be renom-
mated. Any effort to replace Mr. Hoover at
this late date would be followed by devas-
tating rout. Any political observer will

exaggeration to say that more than one Of
the above could defeat Mr. Hoover in a test
at the polls. but that is just what we believe
We think the democratic party is top
heavy with strength. That may be its rulna-
ton. but certainly history will record the
4. illustrious democrats who aspired for the
nomination in 1882. And the chances are
that the distinct democratic tinge that has
touched the entire nation will be at It's
deepest hue by next November. We like
to quote these figures that Mr. Davis used in
a radio speech this week. He said that In
the 1880 election. twenty states which gave
pluralities totaIing 2,798,630 votes to the
republican candidate in 1923 swung over

WashinEton.-Un the roof
falls in on q party caucus or ia
tai epidemic breaks out, 1t Is rea-
sonably certain that the democrats
will retain their control of the
house in this congress.
Recent deaths Of two veteran
southern members - Percy Quinn
of Mississippi and '5amuel Ruther-
ford of Georgia-cut the demo-
cratic majority from six to four
and recalled the uncertain year
after the congressional election of
1880 In which no one could be
sure which party would organic
sure which party would organize
Of the present session.
Naturally, there has been some
speculation as to whether further
deaths might not yet bring the
house to an absurd, chaotic con-
dition in which, while in sessions,
1t couldn't ever tell whether the
succeeding day would find 1t re-
publican or democratic.
But 1t seems more likely that
the democratic majority will climb
back to six and even increase be-
yond that number. After a con-
gresham dies the governor OF his
state soon sets date for a special
election to be held within q very
few weeks of the death. Qutn's
successor from the seventh Mis-.
sIssippi district, for instance, Will
be. chosen March Is. IT,.
2 IL two or three other democrats
die in the meantime, without any
republican losses, a remarkable, VI
olation of the law of averages Will
have occurred.
From the standpoint of party
control, the important thing Is
that the deaths of southern con-
grcssmen only briefly, affect the
size of the democratic majority.
Democrats are sure to be elect
ed to take their places. And In
this year of 1882, II the political
trend Is anything like that OF
1881, no deceased democratic
member from any section Of the
country is likely to be succeeded
by republican.
Consequently, it is almost un-
thinkablc that a half dozen demo-
Gratis might disappear before OF
least some Of their seats would
be filed by other democrats.
Republican deaths are some
thing else again. There are still
many rock-ribbcd 6. 0. p. districts
but what changed the house dem
ocrats from minority to a ma
jority in 1881 was the fact that
they elected successors to men
whose seats had been republicans
for years. In IA special elections
they held the seven democratic
districts at stake and captured four
of the seven republican districts
involved.
The chances are that they may
win one or two more republican
seats, vacated by death, before the
session is over, thereby increas
ing their majority to eight or ten.
After the 1880 elections the
republicans had a bare. plurality
of two in the present congress
