Looks Like No Interest

It should be apparent from the results of the summonscs that the registrars have been issuing to voters that there IS no real interest in whether one mans name ig on the democratic or republican pri- mary list. There have been great nun" Der of voters summoned to appear before the registrars but how many of them have responded? The number is quite negli- gible when compared to the actual num- Der of Implications. All of which goes to prove that there is actually no interest taken in primary elections by the average voter.
 This must have been apparent some time ago. It leads to but one conclusion. There should be change in our methods of registering voters on party lists. It should not be as easy as in the past. ln other words no political ward leader should be allowed to go into the regis trar's office and ask that fifty or one hun dred names be placed on the democratic or republican list. And if there should be changes from one list to the other it should be done by the applicant in person or in writing attested by reliable wit nesses.
 The situation is the same in every city or large town where primary lists are maintained for the purpose of settling differences over nominations for local offices. You won't find Waterbury any different from hundred other cities it's same size. The trouble lies in making some people believe that such state of affairs doesn't constitute heinous of. fense. It happens in the best of regulated families. But when the average voter isn't interested in his party affiliations It seems hard to believe that others should wax indignant over it for purely civic Yeasons.

Dillinger Bait

Is it respectful to our master-bandit to off mere $10,000 reward for John Dil- finger? Or is 1t dignified for 50 great and rich an institution as the United States government? Facetiousness about this matter, perhaps, is in bad taste.
 In view of the widespread fear caused by this marauder, the harm he does to legitimate business, the expense he causes to local, state and federal authorities, and the way he makes a monkey of the gov- ernment itself, couldn't Uncle Sam afford to raise the price on his head to $50,000 or so?
 That would be more in keeping with the magnitude of this man-hunt and would be far more likely to catch the criminal There must be people who know where he is, if he is living. Adequate pay should overcome their scruples or their fear.

You don't have to take our word for it, but it's now being claimed that poor old Adam died of the gout. Isn't that too bad? We don't suppose that Eve knew what to do for the poor old fellow when the pain started to make him holler. The proof lies in an ancient manuscript in London's College of Arms It's in the pedigree of a Saxon king who traced his ancestry back to Adam.

Thomaston avenue may not be opened officially, but it is being used by motor- ists and nobody appreciates 1t more than the residents of this particular thorough fare, particularly up in Waterville. They have had to undergo considerable hard- ship for the last six or seven months. Work on the street, you may remember, started last fall. First the car tracks had to be taken up, disrupting traffic to the northend of the 'vlle. Then the sewers and drains had to be installed This was quite a job in itself because digging ben- heath Thomaston avenue isn't like exca- vating in your backyard. There were plenty of things to hold up even progress. The actual paving of the street from West Main all the way up to Fort Hill has actu. ally consumed far less time than any of the other projects attempted In connec- tion with the work. The city can be thankful, though, that 1t did not have to foot the cost of paving the road. That is now the states privilege, thank goodness.
 And we should doff our hats to Senator Joseph II. Lawlor who stuck to the job of forcing Thomaston avenue back on the state highway department. It was orig finally under this departments supervision anu HIuIIteHaIce, as It bIouIu Dc III VieW of the fact that it's actually the main trunk line up the Naugatuck valley. In some way or other 1t came under city su- pervision and the original cement road, one of the first laid in Connecticut soon disappeared. Only semblance of the original was visible before being torn up this spring, but 1t dated back to about 1914 or 1915. Senator Lawlor refused to take mo" from the highway department when they refused several requests to put the avenue into the highway system. In way.
