Support Is Needed

It IS too bad that there isn't more support locally for two bills sponsored by Senator Joseph H. Lawlor of this city. We refer to the measures now before the legislative committee on roads. rivers, and bridges that would include sections of Thomaston and Hamilton avenues in the trunk line system of the state. It isn't the first time that an effort has been made to have the state take over maintenance of the so-called lower" Watervlle road in this city. Once upon a time it was a part of the state highway system. but was wiled to the city and has remained in our custody ever since.
 To repave this two or three mile stretch would cost in the neighborhood of $l00,- 900. To maintain it properly is task be- yond the limits of our street department It is probably the most heavily travelled route in or out of the city, excepting per haps the Naugatuck road. Yet compare the difference in the surface of the roads. The Watervlle route was one of the original ones laid to concrete in this part of the state. That was close to 20 years ago. We think that some of the original road can still be found, although it has been mended thousand times
 Two years ago Highway Commissioner Macdonald succeeded in having an unfav- orable report returned on similar bill to this years. He contended that the city had taken maintenance of the road from the state and shouldn't try now to hand it back. We admit perhaps it looks like passing the buck" but MT Macdonald should remem- Der that he has vast funds at his command for such work as repairing roads in condl- ton like Thomaston avenue. And some part of those funds is derived from the mo- torists who use this route every day in the year. They are certainly entitled to drive over smooth thoroughfare, instead of the present dangerous one.
 We think that the city officials ought to make determined effort this year to get Thomaston avenue back in the trunk line system. Some one of these days the city may find itself liable for a heavy damage suit solely as result of the poor condition of the roadway. Why pay out dollars for claims and filings for holes and cracks when all that is needed is new road which the highway department could provide for much easier than can Waterbury.

 Mir Schuette is prophet of doom, but your correspondent spent a day between the two com mittee rooms and came away all mixed up. Perhaps Owen D. Young was, mixed up, too. First, you'd see him at one place and then the other, always the hand- somest gent in either place, tall and spare in double-breasted blue suit, his large. soulful eyes full Of interest.
 Of course, no one would think of leaving MT Young out when men are called in to tell the Senate how to save the country, but it ap- peared that MT Young-along with Charles G. Dawes and Melvin Tray Tor, two other experts on saving the country-had also been called to help explain the affairs of the Insult companies.
 But Mir Young wasn't testifying anywhere that day and he spent more time listening raptly to Presf- dent Jackson Reynolds of the New York First National Bank and Chairman Myron Taylor of U. s. Steel help save the country than to young HIr Insults explanations of the Insult stock deals. Mir Young had been one of the Famous Insull ''preferred customers" and had approved late loan to the Insult interests.

These Dicks
 Are Genuine

Detectives, crooks and innocent bystanders who act, talk and think the way such people do in real lie are not too common in mystery stories. It is a pleasure, therefore, to report that Hot Ice," by Rob- ert J. Casey, is simply full of them. It is, in fact, detective story written by man who has actually seen real detectives and real mur- derers and who knows how to describe what he has seen. As a result, it is a first-rate yarn.
 Hot Ice" begins with the mur- der of a well-known Chicago jewel thief. There follows in rapid sue cession the murders of q barber, an inoffensive milkman, a kindly old lady, a young woman or dupl- ous morals, cop-and I'm not certain but what there are two or three more.
 Anyway, the gore flows freely, and it develops in the end that a row over the disposition of several hundred thousand dollars worth Of stolen jewels is largely responsible. And because MT. Casey has been places and seen things, the book IS one which ought to delight all mystery story fans.
 It is published, by the way. by Bobbs- Merrill, and it costs $2.

The Cause Is Lost

The much heralded and long threatened desertion of their party by democratic sen ators came to the fore yesterday when the State Senate took from the calendar the first of the minor court judgeships starred for action. This followed close after the eigh- teen democratic members had stood firm on the proposed district court bill which Gov ernor Cross had made a party pledge. Although it won the Senate vote, it was defeated by the House and consequently will fall by the wayslde so far as the 1893 session of the Legislature is concerned.
 Evidently certain democratic senators con- sidered their duty done once the district court bill was disposed of. It had previously been decided that all action on judgeships should be held up until the district court matter had been transacted. When the first of the minor court judgeships was brought up three democratic senators - Cooney and Shea of Hartford. Hagearty of New Britain, were voting with the republicans and con- sequently defeating the democrats. The ensuing votes revealed further defectlons among the ranks, but that was to be ex- peeted
 lle elSuteeH ueIioAIdtlS ators were not expected to oppose every judgeship resolution brought before them. But it is customary for majority party to carry out certain program. Where the majority is but one vote, as is the present case, that can only be accomplished in one way. We cannot help but feel that the democrats of the state have lost more ground than they gained in the last two years by the past few legislative days. We make this statement without trying to ex- plain or understand all that is probably behind the so-eaed deals which resulted in the democrats swinging their support to the republican side.
 But we can join Senators Bergn and others of the democratic majority in critl- cizing outside interference with legislators. If control of the democratic vote rests in the hands of Thomas J. Spellaey, 1t is sorry day for the democratic party of the state. Not that we think Mir Spellacy isn't capable of guiding the desines of the party He has many fine qualifications for such job. However. at the present moment he IS not member of the Legislature nor even an offi- eer of the democratic state central committee Therefore for him to dictate terms to demo- cratic legislators is presumptious.

To the Editor of the Democrat: A local paper, a few days ago,
 reported that Thursday, March the
 End has been designated as Water
 bury Day by the finance commit tee of the General Assembly, when
 hearings will be held on bills that
 concern the city's finances.
 It is doubtful if the term Water-
 bury Day is appropriate for the occasion as the bills that will be
 heard cannot possibly benefit the city. More appropriate terms
 would be either city hall day or democratic machine day being that
 both mean the same thing. They are the only ones who would bene- fit by the passage of those bills. The word "concern" can be in- terpreted two ways. In it's milder sense 1t can be interpreted to re- fer to ordinary matters that affect a person in a casual way. Its
 other interpretation is more seri-
 ous. It refers to matters that | will cause a person apprehension. In this case, the word "concern" should be given the latter mean. ing. For the people of the city can
 only consider these, bills with ap- prehension. Their general pur- pose is to assure the present ad-
 ministration with reelection next
 October and their passage will re-
 suit in the city's sinking still deep- CT in the financial mire that 1t is in now.
 The very presentation of these bills should convince those who are still sold on the idea that the present administration is "doing a
 good job' in the handling of the
 city's affairs that it is failure
 and that all the propaganda that it has been spreading for some time about the city's good finan- cial position" is pure bunk. The character of the bills themselves is an admission of failure. Represen- tative Thoms has introduced a bill providing for the use of "unex- pended balances" in bridge bond | funds, for the maintainance- of bridges.
 As a matter of fact there are no "unexpended balances of bridge bond funds in existence. The
 bridge bond funds have been
 "borrowed" long ago. The bonds
 were sold for the purpose of build
 ing new bridges in Platts Mills and | Waterville. The bridges were never 1 built and the bill was introduced to merely get the ok. of the legis-
 lature for the diversion of the
 funds for other purposes as the
 cost of maintaining the bridges is
 a small item.

 troduced a bill to permit the city to petition the Reconstruction
 Finance Corporation to lend the

lectable. The tax collecting report shows that the uncollected taxes in 1892 amounted to a little less than $1,200,000. The report, how ever, was based on a grand list of over $170,000,000. Anyone who is at all informed in this matter knows that the grand list is not worth over $150,00O, 1000, if it is worth that much and the actual value of the uncollected taxes of 1892 will not exceed $800,000. To offset this item, the tax collectors report shows that over $800,000 was collected in back taxes and penalties in 1882, and approx innate the same amount was col lected in prior years.
 Representative Thoms has intro- duced another bill that will allow the city to borrow an additional $1,000,000 in funding bonds. and Representative Mahaney also in- troduced another bill that would give the city an additional ten days to pay up its temporary loans. This last bill shows clearly finances. For it discloses that the
 
 being able to collect enough taxes during the greater part of the month of May to pay up the tenn porary loans and seeks an exten- sion of ten days to enable 1t to make the entire collection. As another temporary loan of $1.000,- 900 will be necessary to carry the city until May, it can be seen that the May collection of taxes will hardly be enough to pay up the temporary loans and other floating debts of the city.
 The city is in the position of the small business man who is always hard put to make ends meet and who to ward off his creditors, gives them post-dated checks, hoping to be able to borrow the money if he will be short when the check Is presented for payment. He usual ly is short, and generally dcvotes the greatest part of his time trying to borrow enough so that the checks will not turn into rubber.
 The Property Owners League is opposed to such loose and shiftless methods in the handling of the city's finances and will send a delc- gation of it's members to oppose the passage of the bills at the hearing. Other citizens who wish to join the league in opposing the passage of the bills can do so by attending either of two meetings which will be held within the next few days. The first of these will be held in Venta Hall, 103 Green street tomorrow (Friday) night The other meeting will be held next Monday night, the 27th. in Grange hall, Mill Plain. Both meetings will start at D. m. EDWARD UDELOWITZ. -.

Connecticut Must Act

Several interesting reports should issue from the legislative judiciary committee as a result of this afternoons hearings on the controversial question of prohibition. We trust that the committee will remember that it has serious task in passing on legis- '. lation that may be used to set up conven- ton in Connecticut for ratification or re- jeetion of the proposed 2lst amendment to the Constitution. How that will be done can best be worked out by disnterested egis- lators who are more familiar with the machinery of elections and conventions than the average layman. We can certainly trust ]. the judiciary committee to be disinterested in this one issue.
 As Governor Cross himself said in send ing the official copy of the resolution to the Legislature whatever Connecticut does must represent. the will of the people. Keeping that in mind We trust that no group will be allowed to sway the committee. Two years ago dry organizations succeeded in convey ing the impression that Connecticut was dry state. They did this by a simple pro- cess. They crowded the room where the Judiciary committee was holding hearings on prohibition bills. They organized skill fully enough to give the idea of great Strength and wide representation. As matter of fact they did not represent the peo- pie any more than did the Crusaders who opposed them.
 The best picture of wet and dry strength in Connecticut was taken last November when by an overwhelming vote this state went on record to memorialize Congress for repeal of the 9th Amendment We have heard dry agitators claim that this wasn't a real expression of opinion. If it wasn't we d. certainly like to know what it was. It was the first chance in many year that the voters of Connecticut could vote di- rectly. yes or no. upon the wet and dry question. And their vote was decidedly wet. Let the judiciary committee keep that in mind. Let the Legislature keep that in mind. Let all the dry organizations of the state keep it in mind. Connecticut's eec- torate has spoken,
 We don't know how Connecticut will meet the problem of calling state conven- ton nor where it will find the funds to finance one. But we have confidence in the ability of those legislators now at Hartford to meet the test. Naturally we would pre- fer to have the convention called for this year. even though such an action does en- tail special election with its consequent expense and trouble. We can't we'll ignore the task Congress has set before us. We can't well ignore the fact that prohibition IS costing us far more than the mere dollars and cents that it will take to remove it from tbo statute hooks As to DrohibitiOn leQs- lation dealing with repeal of the state en- forcement act etc. it is incidental to the prime necessity of calling state convention

A former American eonsul-general adds his confirmation to the spreading rumors that Germany will witness in a short time the return of the Hohenzollerns to national power. Some weeks ago the New York Mirror disclosed confidential reports that royalists were planning quick seizure of power away from Hitler just about the same time that Roosevelt is being inaugurated in this country. The coup has been well planned, according to all reports, and the ex-kaiser is prepared to speed from his exile in Holland to Berlin. T. St John -Gaffney. the former consul-general at Munich and Dresden. doesn't lend credence to the seizure idea, but does confirm the story that the HohenzolIerns will rule again. He believes the Crown Prince will be called upon by coalition of political parties to rule the coun- try. However the March elections in Ger many are being eagerly awaited. They may change the course of the world again.

 He'll lead us out of the depression, And stop this line of foolish guessin, He'll put the country on its feet.

He'll bring back jobs to many men, And start the factories up again, He knows the trouble, hear him say,
 Prosperity's not far away. And now 1 hope you'll print this line,
