1.-TWO months ago the
country was dying by inches
To-day we have reason to be-
Ieve that things are little better
than they were two months ago."
Industry has picked up. rail-
roads are carrying more freight,
farm prices are better, but I am
not going to indulge in issuing
proclamations of over enthusiastic
assurance"
1--WE cannot bally-hoo ourselves
back to prosperity
II have no expectation of max
ing hit every time come to bat"
What I seek is the highest pos
sible batting average. not only for
myself but for the team"
Gold, and to a partial extent
silver, are perfectly good bases for
currency and that is why decided
not to let any of the gold now in
the country go out of it,"
1T is wholly wrong to call the
measures we have taken govern
ment control of farming, control
Of industry and control of trans
portation."
1T is rather a partnership be-
tween government and farming
and industry and TRANSFORMATION.

The End Of The Campaign

As the municipal campaign approaches its end, there seems to be no change Tn the issues or in the outlook for its final result. The universal impression among democrats and republicans alike is that it can have but one result, the reelection of Mayor Hayes and the entire democratic ticket. No an swer is made, nor can thete be any to the facts that the present administration has re- dueed the rate of taxation by nearly ten mills, has met all its payrols and man- tsined the credit of the City of Waterbury. No city has done any better in these troub- lous times and few have done anywhere nearly as well. It is by the achievements and accomplishments of an administration that it must be judged and no one could have done any better under the eircum- stances. Such criticism as has been made has been of small and petty things, largely un- true and, in any event highly exaggerated. Laying any and all political considerations aside, it certainly is for the best interest of the citizens and taxpayers of Waterbury to keep Mayor Hayes in office and to re-eleet his associates on the democratic ticket. Very few would really doubt it. as d matter of good business policy. Of course we do not blame the republican office seekers for wanting the jobs, but their interest is not always the interest of the average citizen and taxpayer.
 So be sure to vote at the election and urge your family and friends to do so. It is of the very highest importance to the city at this time that its good standing be main tained and its present sound business policy be kept up, and to do this the entire demo- cratic ticket must be reelected. Slanderng of the eity's standing and credit have not helped us any in the past and cannot help us in the future. Good results have been had in spite of it, not because of it.
 And don't take the election for granted Many elections have been lost by over- confidence. The Democratic Town Com- nittee will do its best to get the vote out, but every citizen who has the welfare of Waterbury at heart must do his part. Be sure that you do yours

Justice For Men

Judge P. B. O'Sullivan has attracted con- siderable attention due recent ruling of his in superior court He was confronted with such a puzzler in Middletown as gave Solomon a chance to make name for him. self in the matter of wisdom. A wife sued for divorce. Her husband brought eoun- ter-sut and won it. They had one child, nine-year- old boy. Judge OSullivan, in trying to decide how best to solve the youngsters home problem, asked the mother whether she would rather have her son put in an institution or turned over to the fath- er She said she preferred the institution.
 The father was then asked whether he would choose to have the boy go to an in- stitution or to the mother He chose the mother Just as Solomon did so did Judge OSullvan. He figured from these two de- eisions that the father really had his sons welfare more unselhshly at heart than the mother and that therefore he would prob- ably make the better companion and guar dian. So he gave the child to the father. Whether or not the decision will be uni- versally approved. at least it is one more
 link in the chain of evidence that men are beginning to be regarded in divorce actions not always as the brutes and the wives as the oppressed.

 Liko these others he had the ob- servant eye and ear. It Is not quite correct to speak of Lardner as u master of American slang. His Ian guage was not ",Broadway" or any other of the artificial and super carbondted vernaeulars that pass for slang. His strength was not h vocabulary but in phonetics. ft consisted primarily in marvellous rendition of the English language as pronounced by uneducated peo- pie. He discovered "of" as an aux Hilary verb. After him 1t became incumbent oh writers of the pop ular tongue to say, "I could of told you" and "Who would of thought it?"
 With the externals of the Am. erican common speech went . knowledge of tho plain mans world of ideas and behavior pat terms. But Ring Lardners reputa- ton will not depend on the "blt- ter" realist and the biting satirist that he was discovered to be Ut the peak of our late great wave. of disillusionment. It was the fashion to satirize and debunk and dissect, and the established practice was to seize upon a humorist and discover that he was really nothing of the kind. He was at bottom a merct- less realist, or at least he should have been. The other view was in- fiuenced by Van Wyc1s Brooks with his discovery that Mark Twain was essentially a frustrated being. Na- ture had intended Twain to be in low spirits about the human race but he insisted on being most of the time in high spirits. So in the case of Lardner it became the GUS tom to speak of him as the satirist of morons and illiterates. He Is supposed to have "mercilessly satirized" baseball players and chorus girls who, as is well known, have always been legitimate ob- jects of satire. It is like pillory- ing MT.

OLD MASTER

(New Haven Journal.Courier)
 Whenever one begins to prattle of the good old days in sportdom, he Is immediately labelled a nostal- gic dreamer who has failed to Keep pace with modernity. But the first three-quarters of the twenties decade undoubtedly constituted the good old days of American tennis when William T. Tilden, 2nd, ruled the undisputed king of the tennis world. And Monday of this week, this same Tilden, how near ly twenty years older than tho front rank American amateurs of to-day, provided justification for tho backward glance of the old timer. For he presented Henri Cochet, still rated the finest French tennis ace and world champion from 1927 to 1881, with his most decisive defeat of the past six years. An historical balance Is struck; for Henri Cochet Is the French wizard who dethroned Til- den and had beaten him regular ly since 1927.
 Let the enthusiasts of the pres- ent proclaim that Cochet was easy after long series of setbacks by the oncoming youngsters who soft ened him fo rthe slaughter. The argument should apply with double strength to Tilden himself. Let them make insinuating remarks that this macth merits little atten- ton because 1t was played in a pro tourney. The American Lawn Tennis association with its strange rulings and interminable squab- bles with players has long since robbed the distinction between pro- fessional and amateur of all mean ing. William T. Tilden. End, was once one of the worlds greatest players. And observers Monday suggest that he is still a great plyaer. What he has lost in speed he has gained in strategy. Dur ing his long reign as amateur mon arch he did more than any other individual to make tennis a justly popular sport. His performance this week will be hailed by all who re- member him in the years of his su- premacy and will do much to re- flute charges that American play CTS can not stand the strain of sus- tained playing.

Temperance

The liquor situation grows more rational in various ways For instance: In Kansas City, Kansas, the school administration has decided to offer temperance courses in all the grade schools this year. The Eigh- teenth Amendment came as result of many years teaching" says the head of the curriculum department, and then we let down. This move is an answer to the ifn- pending repeal crisis"
 It is the general view in this country to- day as shown by the overwhelming votes for prohibition repeal that prohibition has failed. It failed because it went too far. sought to accomplish too much, used law and punishment in place of persuasion. A return to. intelligent persuasion is the policy of practical common sense. Experience shows that liquor is going to be drunk, whether with prohibition laws or without them. Whatever theoretical virtue there may be in absolute prohibition, obviously the practical thing to do is to teach temperance.
 Temperance is what we need most in America. Temperance means moderation. If anyone wants to interpret temperance for himself as total abstinence, very well. But let us not forget the intrinsic meaning of the word. A truly civilized person will be temperate in all things - even in teaching temperance.
