to deal with him. He Is . tough Gus
toner, cruel, cunning and malicious.
and 1t is not wise to underestimate
his power. .
But developments Of the last year
have improved society's chances Of
coping successfully with the age-old
evils OF intemperance. poverty caused
by drink, and the long train OF at
tendant Ills which may rightfully be
charged to insobriety.
The fight for q better order Is in
the open now. Because Of it, place
in the limelight It will command the
attention and interest OF many good
citizens who. because We had a pro-
hibition law, assumed that we also
had prohibition. .
Repeal OF the prohibition amend
ment cannot reasonably be inter-
prcted as representing q desire. on
the part Of tho average citizen. for
more freedom in drinking than he
heretofore has had. He has had all
the liberty anyone could wish. For
those who like . little nip now and
then it may represent q longing for
higher quality. however. Some Of the
stuff that has been sold for liquor
these past years would do credit to

But even this had very little to do
with repeal, for the people who voted
prohibition out were tho same ones
who voted It inland for the very
same reasons.
In pre-prohibition times they were
looking for ways to improve the So
cial order. Prohibition seemed to
offer . way and they adopted 1t.
After fair trial It was apparent that
tho noble experiment" had failed.
There was nothing to do but to turn
back and start over.
Unfortunately. we shall have to be-
gin 1t the beginning. A good deal

rush to debauchery by way Of cele-

sample the new legalized whiskey,
just as they were curious to try the
new beer. But If society gets little

A TONIC Laxative

CONSTIPATION, with the annoy.

with it, cuts down organic force
and disturbs normal health and
well-being. A thorough cleansing
of the digestive tract is of great
assistance in the removal Of sick
ening constipation symptoms.
When excessive accumulated
waste matter disturbs and strains

rendering them temporarily un-
able to perform their wave-like

Of the TONIC laxatives, tending,

HOarded Money For Use

Senator Robert J. Bulkley, prominent member of the Senate banking commit tee, estimates that the inauguration of bank deposit insurance the first of the year will bring $1,250, 100000 of cash out of hiding and back into the banks. That will happen, he says, because thousands of hoarders who have lost faith in banks will trust them again. It looks like reason able expectation.
 When the people. trust the banks again, will not the banks trust the people again? That returned money will be only lia- bility unless they lend it out at interest. A good deal of it might well go out in the form of short-time commercial loans to finance business as it struggles up from the bottom. A good deal of it, too, might go to help finance the construction in- dustry, which has been starving for credit these last four years, and which could do more for general business than any other industry.

HISTORY

Next to providing the meeting house the most important thing In Waterbury as in other Connecticut and New England settlements was what was called seating the meet g-house." Our historian remarks here that each town adopted its own rules as to the order of pre- cedence. It was decided that men should be sixteen years of age or over, and a committee was ap- pointed to do the ''seating."
 Here was how the committee de- cided: "The first member was one of the rich men of the town; the second represented fairly the pros- porous, well-to-do element, al- though himself young man, while the third owned at that time but an OK, a horse, and i've acres of up- land. Next to the pew of the minis ter's choice (the pulpit between) was the pew considered next in dig nity. It has been the general con- sensus that the committee did their work wisely and well in this re- spect to seating" for voted to the seat "next in dignity" was that was the man called Goodman Andrews. a footnote in Anderson's history stating that Goodman" referred to his venerable age; also his wife, Lieutenant Hopkins and his wife, Goodman Barnes, Sergeant Upson. and the "widow Porter" {

Abolish The Counties

Our own congressman, Representative Edward w. Goss, is the latest legislator to come out in support of the movement to get rid of existing county lines. lie makes the suggestionsin the name of econ ony. In this day and age no better req son could be advanced. Personally we are convinced that the time is coming when we won't have any more counties. Strictly speaking they are not a neces- sary political subdivision. County offices to-day are few and need not necessarily be limited to county. County lnstltu- lions right here in Connecticut are few, our jails being the most important If we eliminate court houses.
 The elimination of the county jail could be accomplished very readily in state as small as Connecticut. We don't know, though. how it would work out In Texas with it's 254 counties. However, the move, mert to get rid of our county jails is well started. In few more years it may be- come reality. When legislators get de- nnands to build five or six county jails all at once they are apt to figure it cheaper to eliminate them altogether. In their place would be substituted jail farms for men and probably detention centers in the larger cities. No doubt there would also be an effort to speed up trial cases, where participants often are kept in jail months before the actual trial begins.
 It is on the score of additional taxation that Representative Goss demands the abolition and consolidation of counties. Tn Texas, for example, county taxes
 must constitute a considerable sum. No doubt citizens are paying double taxes there in more ways than one. We may even do this ourselves if our county jail and court expenses mount any higher. And there is no reason to think that they will decrease. With jail-manufactured goods now limited it is reasonable to ex- pect higher per capita costs for prison CTS. However, the county taxation prob lem is slight in New England compared

Our Side Of It

Before entering any denials or prefer ring any charges we must say right at the beginning that it is not the intention of the Waterbury Democrat to create dis cord or start trouble for the men who are directing the various emergency rehet organizations in this city. By the rellet groups we mean our own Mutual Aid Un- employed, the Public Works Administra- tion, and the Civil Works Administration. No paper has sponsored their cause more warmly than has the Democrat. We'll continue to do so, because we think they are entitled to the support of the press.
 However, we feel that we are free to criticize the actions of any officials or employees at all connected with the above groups. If we are denied this right, then we can only believe that there must be much to criticise If the Waterbury Dem- ocrat wanted to attack the Mutual Aid the federal administrations 1t could ind plenty of stories and rumors floating around this city. If we gave ear to all the complaints that poured into this office by letter, phone, and word of mouth we would be until doomsday checking them up We have been content in the past to rely on the good judgment of the relief aides. We still believe they are doing good job of it.
 Nobody appreciates the headaches that are MT Harris more than we do. He IS in a difficult position. He must satisfy the Whims of every unemployed man and woman in Waterbury. And until per son has actually come into contact with the variety of people that constitute the great army of the unemployed he or she has not really met up with human nature. But we still insist the facts of the case as presented by the Waterbury Democrat last Friday and Saturday were true Ill every detail. MT Harris did tell the Dem- ocrat reporter that CWA ruling pre- vented men over 60 being employed. lie may have meant to modify this with the statement that they could be given light employment, but he certainly did not do it Friday when interviewed. Since then he has denied himself to representatives of this paper.
 The Hartford headquarters of the CWA on Friday last informed the same representative of this paper that there was no CWA ruling busting men over 6O wears from jobs That they had been re- moved in Waterbury investigation proved conclusively. And that they weren't all to be classed in the pick and shovel class was also established. Many were paint CTS. One was an expert carpenter. Those are the facts. The Democrat does not throw them before the public as bomb. We aren't trying to disturb the efficiency of any relief group. We're simply trying to substantiate story. If we were wrong we would gladly admit it. Being accused of stirring up tempest in an otherwise calm CD sea is not our way ot retorting to the story in question. The CWA was supposed to rid Waterbury.s relief lists of unemployed. If 1t doesn't then we want to know why. The public is entitled to know, too.

What Seven People Did On Christmas

Christmas Tree" by Lady Eleanor Smith, is fluffy and somewhat empty Christmas story, which a great many people proba- ably will read once, but which hardly anybody-unless I'm badly mistaken-will care to read twice.
 The setting is London, and the author gives us a glimpse of seven people who are buying Christmas trees at big department store. Our glimpse comes through the eyes of a salesgirl who waits on them; and after she gets home that night, she speculates on the kind of Christmas parties these seven customers are likely to have. There was a young couple who seemed to be quarreling; well, their party will be a flop. There was 8 pleasant nobleman-ah, his wife is lucky; they'll have an elab- crate party, expensive presents, lots of jollity.
 There was a rich financier, who bought the biggest tree in the place "a party for a flock of happy grandchildren, no doubt. There
 
 her party on the theater stage, late Christmas eve; 8 glamorous gathering of actors and actresses, unquestionably.
 So the girl muses, with all seven customers. Then the seven cele- brations are described and the girls guess is wrong in each case.
 The quarrelsome couple are deeply in love and have a swell party. The nobleman hates his wife and bought the tree for his mistress. The financier, childless, sends his tree to a children's hos pital. The actresses glamorous party Hops miserably. And so on.
 And there you are. It's drawn pretty thin, but there's a fair amount of entertainment in it.
