Since the States Attorney himself
is involved in Captain Spencer's af-

Spencer, said to the mob leaders:

Warden Brady, fully realizing the
intense interest in the Fuel Lee case,

cement bags from the newly pur-

Foreign Recovery

This isn't the only country where there are signs of business improvement. Great Britain has had moderate but progressive gains in employment for several months, with the price index risen to 65 in June. from 59 year ago. There has been more employment in France during the last three months Germany shows a drop of 5,000,O00 in unemployed with slight gains in prices and freight traffic, There is more activity lately in Italy. Trade is better in Canada, starting in the western provinces and Ontario. with boom in textiles Wheat copper and other commodities are doing better in Latin America. The Orient is buying American automobiles again.
 Thus. though no other country registers such sudden and violent upturn as the United States. it begins to look as if the long world depression has come to close and gradual. natural revival has begun. If this is the case. it makes the struggle easier for us. We are not fighting, then, a lone campaign. faced on all sides with inertia and gloom, but merely leading and speeding up movement already under way
The Waterbury Democrat., 1933-07-20

in l933 seems less and less far-fetched- Ia fact. it IS forgons conclusion now that the l8sh amendment is as dead as the proverbisl doornail
 Even the most ardent dry supporter now is willing to accept the inevitable. We don't see why prohibitionists shouldn't rally around the cause of one of their leaders who has stated that it will be the best thing in the world for their cause to scrap the amendment. He says that then the real pur- pose of temperance may once more be ex- pounded and rally around 1t converts in ever increasing numbers. We think he's on the right track. In fact it's one the Democrat has always cspoused. We think that tem- peranee can prevail in the United States, but never prohibition.
 Tennessee and Oregon are going to follow in the footsteps of the other states when they vote this week. So will every other state which has an election and convention set for this year. We certainly think that all states that can hurry up this procedure should do so. SO that the Constitution can be re- written and an episode in American history forgotten. Repeal means more than mere liquor consumption to the nation. It spells such things as prosperity. happiness. and outlawry of organized rackets.

The Halfway Mark

With the acquisition of Alabama and Arkansas to the list of wet states the half way mark has been reached. There are now eighteen states definitely committed to re- peal of the 18th amendment, although the two named above have not done anything more than elect slate of wet delegates to cast the state vote on the repealer amend ment. Today Tennessee is voting and to- morrow Oregon will follow suit. In no way can we see anything but similar results.
 This week has long been regarded as the climax in the wet and dry fight. It seems eonelusively proved, to our way of thinking, that Tuesdays voting elinched the matter. Mad either Alabama or Arkansas gone dry
 he cause of the repealists would have been lost for this year Now the Jouett Shouse claim that the amendment would be repealed

Protests Increase

When the Legislature decided to approve of general wage reduction for all state employees. it plunged its head into beehive. Ever since the contemplated sliding scale of slashes was mentioned there was evidence of dissatisfaction in the ranks. Of recent days the protests have increased and are now at the point where the state board of finance and control may have to make concessions. It was beseged last week It is again this week. What can be the result. we ask you? Last week the board of shell fisheries showed that by its operation it was going to save the state annually enough to restore the former allowances that were taken away by legislative vote. At the same time the state tuberculosis commission was making fight for restoration of its former privileges. As yet the finance and control board has not seen fit to hand down a decision. What then can be expected when the heads of various state institutions clamor for better wages for their help than allowed under the reduction plan?
 From the Connecticut State Hospital and Long Lane Farm. both in Middletown are issuing complaints about the wages that cer- tain employees are receiving now that the
 
 cuts are effective. It can be proved. say the officials, that in some instances these reduc- tions are even more than 20 per cent In such eases as this. certainly some remedy is in order, for there was no disposition on the part of the Legislature to compel as drastic a slash as all this. In fact, it was only the high salaried officials of the state who were to bear the heaviest cuts by actual percentage. The reductions were graded according to annual salaries.
 Before the Assembly meets again in 1895 we predict that the board of finance and control will have resigned itself to the hope less task of satisfying all interested parties in this matter But if the board can only sat- isfy the ones from whom complaints are now emanating it will have accomplished something. We wish it luck.

Postmaster General Farley has sent let- ter of thanks to l3-year-old Thomas A. CaIlsghy of Lawrence. Mass. for his recov- cry of 7l money orders stolen from Law renee postal station. The orders in a strong box were thrown into the Shaw sheen river by the robbers and the boy dved in after them. requiring B dives to locate the box and bring it to the surface. Mir Far ley wrote him as follows: T want you to know that the postmaster general appre- eiates what you have done and it gives me a great deal of pleasure to give you this ex- pression of our satisfaction. ..." No doubt the letter will always be keepsake for the boy. but why not some other reminder. such as an official citation or a sheet of stamps with the postmaster generals autograph.

If We Fail It Will Be Our Own Fault

Among the minor interesting news items of the day is the report that the tomb of Attila. famous many centuries ago as the 'scourge of God" has been found in river bed in Czechoslovakia. Whether the report is correct or not. the story al least performs the useful function of setting one thinking about the contrasting ways in which civll- ized society can be threatened with destruc- ton.
 In Attlas day. when the Huns came roll ing up out of the eastern darkness. the crumbing society of the time lived in fear of invasion by barbarians. Wave after wave of savage destroyers came in over the east ern borders, each one more destructive than the one before. Attla was the last and worst. The whole framework of cviliZa- ton seemed to be collapsing before him. It took society many centuries to pick up the pieces.
 When the Historian Gibbons wrote his Decline and Fall, he remarked that society no longer faced that kind of danger. The framework. he said, could never crumble again There were no more barbaric hosts to menace the frontiers. And few years after he had written that came the French revolution. just to prove that society could be threatened with destruction even when it's frontiers were completely peaceful De- struction that time came from the bottom instead of from the outside, and it left reverbcratons quite as profound as those that Attlas host put in motion. Today we haze no barbarc hordes on the borders, and in spite of the shivers of the tlmid-- we are not in any real danger of an up- rising from below The threat that our so :iety faces is entirely new, and because it is so new it is all the more insidious. It comes from the top.
 Our danger, that is to say, is not that we shall be overwhelmed by external enemies or turned over by the downtrodden masses It is that our order of things may collapse of it's own weight because the men at the top have set up an establishment that they cant quite master. What is going on at Wash ington now is simply an attempt to rear range things so as to make intelligent d- reetion of our society more easy. It may look radical at first glance but it is essentially deepy> conservative We have neither an Attila nor d Robespierre to fear: if trouble comes, it will be entirely our own fault.

Insurance Authority

Some kind of unemployment insurance is necessary believes Secretary of Labor Per kins Addressing the Institute of Public Af- fairs at the University of Virginia, she told how she thought it might be achieved with out the handicap of political influence. She would have a group of industrial states unite in the establishment of an insurance authority along the lines of the Port Author ity of New York and New Jersey. The group would have the power to underwrite insur- ance in the cooperating states saving over head by having one authority in control of a large area.
 The system she proposes would set up compulsory reserves against industrial un- employment It would make it easier to overcome the competition among rival in- dustres in the different states. Premiums might be paid entirely by the employer. or by the empoye and employe contrbut- ing. or by government participation where the states wanted it. The cost should be assessed on the industry itself as one of it's natural hazards.
 Employers built up reserves for pay ment of dividends to tide industry over lean years. said Miss Perkins. They should provide for supplemental compensation to be paid workers out of jobs through no fault of their own" That argument has oc- cured to many unemployed workers in re- cent years. They are going to go into this problem thoroughly. Their legislative rep resentatjves, employers and labor leaders will have to go into 1t, too.

When the bells of St Andrews Protest ant Episcopal church in Staten Island started tolling in the wee small hours of the morn ing one day this week police became suspi- cious. It was an hour when all honest men should be homo in bed. Upon investigation it was found that a sexton from St Patrick,s Roman Catholic church with two compan- ions had gone on a rampage after indulging in beverages evidently too strong for their constitutions. Ringing the bells of some church other than the one in which the sex ton worked was novel way of celebrating. But not after the police completed their counts against the trio.

TWO HEALTHY BOYS!

s Bridgeport Telegraph
 The following classified adver- tisement appeared recently in the columns of Boston newspaper:
 s WANTED-A place to board
 two healthy boys, one age six
 and the other nine, until Labor
 day. Their mother needs a rest.
 If this isn't clear case of un- derstatement, we do not know one when we come upon 1t. Their mother needs a rest" A million mothers of six and nine year olds will sigh gentle amen to such sentiments. The picture is complete, the facts are all there.
 s Yet. we wonder if this mother will find the rest she craves when her two young stalwarts are safe on some friendly farm? Rest per- haps of body, but. what about the more essential tranquility of mind? :? If these tikes are what we think they are. she will be able to envis- ion a thousand perils and pitfalls for their adventurous minds. The mother away from her children can know thousand alarums never even thought of when they are under her feet.
 There is no rest for the mother of two healthy boys from the time they arrive in this world until the time they or she shuttle off this mortal coil. And the older they grow the more anxiety they cause.
 Yet with all q mothers anxiety and care-her voice worn with der to keep One jump ahead of one beautiful, perennial joy: N

A Book a Day
 by BRUCE CATION
Phil Stong Again Tells of His Iowa

"strangler's Return" finds Phil Stong writing once more of Iowa farm life; and 1t is delightful to have him doing this. if for no other reason than the confusion which covers the snooty eastern re- viewers when they find someone actually extolling Iowa as pleas ant place to live.
 The central character in this book Is Grandpa Storr. an old but extremely sprightly Civil War veteran who lives on his Iowa farm with two female dependents "a stepdaughter and a niece by marriage-and unique hired man named simon, who is profane and goddess but a sturdy rock to tie to in time of trouble.
 Into this home comes a long, lost granddaughter, who has been going 1t alone in New York and who Is forced by economic pres sure to find haven in the old homestead.
 The story has to do with her adjustment to farm life and with the efferts of the other two women to freeze her out SO that they can inherit Grandpa's farm. The gals lay some pretty deep plots to do this, but simon and Grandpa are too foxy for them, and in the end the granddaughter is firmly established.
 I'm not sure that this is as good book as "State Fair" The girl from New York isn't always convincing. and the neighboring farmer with whom she falls in love is more than little phony. But the book makes delightful reading just the. same; and can't help feeling that MT Stong is con- tributing something important to our literature by his sympathetic and zestful porrtait of Iowa farm life.
 Published by Harcourt. Brace & Go, this book is priced at $2.

Destroying Crops

It may be desirable conditions being as they are. for cotton growers to fall into line with Secretary Walaces demand for the destruction of l0.000.000 acres of growing cotton. It is considered necessary to reduce the potential surplus in order to insure prices that will give other growers a living return. The thing that hurts, and raises many questions, is the paying out of real money for the destruction of that grow ing cotton money that people have worked for and paid with difficulty.
 Moreover, it is not as if all the people in this country, or the world. had all the cot ton they want. Millions need that cotton. Surplus is deceptive word. There is seldom. if ever, true surplus. measured against human wants and needs. We simply lack ability to get the stuff where it is needed. It is well to get some of those otton-growers to raising other things that will serve them better and not clog the mar kets That is the constructive way. Maybe next season it can be done that way. Many such adjustments need to be made. But we should be intelligent enough to get away from actual destruction of useful products. at any stage of production.

, When Simon Lake built the Defender for the Russian government some 20 odd years ago, he wasn't allowed to make delivery. So the underseas craft served various pur- poses. Now it's just been sold for $500 and will probably be junked. Only few years ago it was planned to use it in search ing for sunken treasure. We'd never try a trip to the Pacific Coast in 1913 auto. so why go to the bottom of the ocean in submarine of the same vintage?
