Frederick Snyder, s4. of % Bea-
 con street. a former employe of the
 Waterbury Manufacturing com pany, collapsed and died suddenly on a North Main street trolley shortly after 10 o'clock this morn ing. The deceased was on his way to spend the day fishing at Lake wood when he was stricken with a heart attack. Motorman William Scully in an effort to obtain med ical aid made fast trip down North Main street, from Lake wood to the office of pr J. J. Mc- Linden. The latter pronounced the man dead and word was tele- phoned to police headquarters and to pr Harold F. Merrill, assistant medical examiner. The trolley car containing the body was side- tracked on switch on upper North Main street to await the in- spection of the medical examiner.
 Motorman Scully reported that MT Snyder boarded the car at Spark street. He carried an as- sortment of fishing tackle with him. As the car drew near to the ter. minus at Lakewood Mir Snyder en- gagged Motorman Scully in a con- versation. Whife speaking he slid from his seat to the floor. Realiz- ing the seriousness of the case Mo- torman Scully immediately start ed the car on fast trip down North Main street, but from all in- dications MT Snyder died almost instantly.
 The deceased was a native of New York. He came to Waterbury about 15 years ago and found em- ployment with the Waterbury Manufacturing company. He was

GREAT BATTLE
 IN HARTFORD
Move Started to Erase Doubtful Democrats
 Off Party List
MUST HAVE HEARING

Over two hundred democrats at Milford have been cited before the registrars to answer why their names should not be removed from the list of democratic voters. The charge against them Is that they have not supported party nominees and therefore have no right to ex- pect to parade under false colors.
 Chairman Gallagher contends the 200 names can be omitted from the list according to law, for failure to support party and candidates. [. Section 700 of the Revised Statutes of 1880, regarding erasure from party lists, provides method of erasure of names from the list, 'if. in the opinion of the registrars or party leaders these names should be taken off the list for failure to support party and candidates"
 If the charges stand. there Is talk of instituting similar proceed ings in different towns in the state. According to the law. the accused are entitled to a hearing. and after that 1t seems the de- cision rests with the registrars. It ia difficuit if not impossible to prove such charges beyond a req eonable doubt, but 1t Is said that in Milford 1t has not been unusual to find 50 called democrats out against their party on election and coming forward as leaders of demo- cratic clubs the following year. If this can be shown there is no rea- son why Chairman Gallagher and those associated with him should not be ahle to prove their charge and rid the party of men who are not with 1t any longer than they be at the helm. Anyway. 1t is an interesting case and democrats all over the state as well as in Mil- ford are interested in the outcome.

 | A large delegation of Waterville baseball fans. supporters of the Watervile Oilers are expected to attend the baseball game at Ham, ilton Park at 5:15 o'clock this eve- ming, when the Waterville team and the Thomas club will re-play the tie City Amateur league con- test of few weeks ago.

 matters look now WaterviIle should
 be favored to win both games and
 to select Waterbury at the nation. al tournament at Pittsburgh next

 Some of the boys in the police department had a few wisecracks about Sthe guest of the afternoon. If any stories break in the near future refecting on the police there will be no question but what the bird was a stool pigeon. at least that's one of the many remarks passed about 1t.
 Years ago 1t was a little brown bug, which used to parade across the room of former Superintendent George M. Beach's office and pick up some interesting bits of gossip that made splendid reading for everyone-save MT Beach.

THE FAIR

The harvest moon, yellow as a new
cheese rides high in the heavens. The sun
sinks in shrouded majesty, lighting cam
opy of clouds banked in the west. haunt
ing mist softens the lines of the high board
fence, the grand stand and the buildings.
The twin lights of hundreds of automobiles
are gently blurred like stars beneath filmy
oud. The reflection of the lights of Pasco
Pickering on the ripples of the mighty Col
umbia add a touch of the eerie to the scene.
The evening breeze watts the scent of new
cut corn across the country.
All is in readiness for the fair. For
weeks the children and their parents have
been looking forward to the event. The wo-
men folk have been canning fruit and max
ing pickles for the exhibit. The men have
fed and groomed the colt, the calf and the
shorthorn In the households and in the
fields and barns careful preparations have
been made for the scheduled competitive
events
Here, also, will be great open forum
for the discussion of the issues which in
terest the farmer folks. The astute cam
paigner for office will be bustling about with
the proverbial box of cigars under one arm,
the other free to lift little Johnny Jones and
his sister to his knee the while he praises
them to their parents. Properly done this
means two votes and maybe more.
The fair is great institution. Long
may it live.

1T SEEMS TO WORK

We are frank to admit that we looked
with scorn upon the idea of a citizens school
budget reviewing committee which was pro-
vided for by the last legislature. After sit
ting in at many budget hearings and noting
the intense lack of interest displayed by cit
liens and taxpayers generally and always
noting that if taxpayer did appear at a
hearing his lack of knowledge of conditions
was so appalling that his protests made him
out ridiculous we could take no other slant
at the new proposal. Always if there was an
audience at budget hearing, each person
present invariably came with a selfish mo-
tive He had some pet scheme to save him
self some money or he wasn't interested. 1t
was merely matter of cutting the other
fellow.
The attitude taken by the local school
budget committee proved welcome excep-
ton. They, while all for economy, felt that
there was point beyond which cuts meant
anything but economy. They argued, and
we think rightly, that salaries for instance,
can be ESQ low that efficient teachers can
not be obtained And what loss of time,
money and effort can be made thru inef-
ficiency! No other extravaganza can be
quite so expensivei

THE ELECTION.

There seems now to be no question but
that the world famous Eighteenth Amend
ment will be repealed. Washington, with the
voting handicap and the naturally dry atti-
tude of the majority of it's citizens, seems
to have been the last hope of the dries.
Twenty-four states which have submitted
the question have without exception voted
against continuing the experiment.
Vets, those who really want to see the
country back on the old basis, should not
take too much hope from the above record.
We feel that the vote is simply desire to
see definite end to the domineering in gov
ornamental affairs by the liquor interests
exactly the same problem as caused the
country to try the now famous prohibition
experiment The difference is slight.
We look to see some laws governing the
liquor traffic passed which will control it.
The huge profits from the illicit traffic are
doomed and along with it much of the pres.
ent day racketeering will also fall by the
board The new laws which are being draft
ed will combine, no doubt, the best features
of the many laws which have already been
tried out.
In the meantime, lest anyone misunder-
stand, the same old laws will govern until
the required number of states hxs voted up
on the question and congress has had it's
fling. The country, the state, county and
town are still in exactly the same situation
as before Tuesdays election.

ENTERING HIGH SCHOOL

Thousands of young men and young
women (they aren't boys and girls after
they get out of the grades) will enter high
school this year, and if they are the right
kind of young people they will get the right
kind of a thrill from this experience.
Entering high school is an epochal event
in the life of anyone who is blessed with the
opportunity. Most students never get be-
yond the graduation period in the h g h
schools. After that they either go to work
<sor loaf or do little of each.
A great many young people who enter
high school never graduate, and that is a
very sad mistake for them to make, and a
still graver mistake on the part of the par
ents, providing the latter deliberately gave
their consent to child leaving high school
without graduating, when it is not neces-
s.sary.
The first day in high school maks the
beginning of an important event in the life
sof the young man or young woman who en-
Joys the privilege of acquiring this import
ant education.
There will come time in the history
of this country land it is approaching rap
idly noWadays) when young person with
out high school diploma is going to find
things pretty hard in this life. For educa-
ltion is the stepping stone to success and in
