Helped Defeat Moses.

These leaders as group resisted
the efforts of the elder Theodore
Roosevelt to liberalize and modernize
the party quarter century ago. Many
of them have resisted all similar
efforts since that time.
Some helped to defeat Robert
Moses this year because they knew
him to be fearless and independent.
In the State Legislature the party
organization played the game in the
tradition of the Pennsylvania Repub-
licanism of Quay, Penrose and Ware.
Above all, the leaders clung to their
own personal power and patronage,
regardless of the interests of the
party as whole.
Then came Kingsland Macy. Lib

RE the homes of "gainfully en-
n ployed wives blighted and do
~ husbands resent their eco
4 \ nomic independence? Such
questions as these find answer
in a survey made public last week at
Columbia University. The facts were
gathered by Dr. Cecile T. La Toilette
of Teachers College. AS one married
woman engaged in work of her own
she addressed hundreds of letters to
married women throughout the coun-
try asking them scores Of questions
concerning their status as affected by
employment.
This inquiry Is especially In order
these days when, as a cure for de-
preston, it has been suggested that
all married women wage earners be
discharged. If the 652 who replied
to the questions of Mrs. La Toilette
we're compelled to stop working it
seems the unemployment situation
would not be helped much. Among
them they employ $40 persons in their
homes and most of them could not
afford such assistance if they were
not earning money to supplement the
family income The women answer
ing the questionnaires represent 9 Sec
tions of the country and l8 States
They reside in So cities which have a
population of from 5000 to 100000
each.
More than a hundred questions,
some most intimate, appear on the
inquiry forms sent out by Mrs. La Fol-
lette. Although the number of per-
sons so interviewed is not large, the
analysis of their answers Is thorough
cross-section of present-day American
married life.
Working Women Increasing.
Married women who work have been
steadily increasing in this country, as
shown by Government statistics. There
are now approximately 100000 of
them. In 1890 only / out of every %
working women was married, while
in 1880 the ratio was l married
woman to every gainfully employed.
There are 527 occupations in which
women are engaged, although the
great ma jority of them are to be found
in only 63. Those in the professions
have greatly increased. Many are in
law, medicine. theology. while there
are thousands of woman chemists,
metallurgists and engineers.
OF the group studied by Mrs. La
Toilette rs per cent are in professions
Of some kind, the balance being mostly
in the commercial field and only
few in the industrial or mechanical
occupations.
1t is generally accepted that pro-
fesSional women who work are mar
ried to men in the professions. Less
than third of the professional women
in this group. however. are so situated.
The indications are that husbands of
professional women are chiefly in
business or industry.
In the matter of education the
households covered by the inquiry
show that the wives have been more
Jealous in acquiring college degrees
than have been the husbands.
The study reveals the following sta
tistics on the educational qualification
of the surveyed families:

Federalization

Every intelligent observer knows how governmental authority in recent years has flowed from cities and states to the federal government. A business writer describes this process as "being toward the overthrow of state sovereignty and the undermining of local government" with gigantic centralization of govern mental authority in Washington, and de- plores 1t as un-American and destructive.
 He points out three manifestations of this trend: First, extension of the fed eral police power to pursuit of kidnapers and other criminals; second, increasing regulation of trade and commerce; third, federal encroachment on the taxation field of state and local units.
 One may deplore these tendencies, and yet perceive how naturally they have come about, and how much reason there is for some of them. When criminals with their own private transportation systems ignore state lines, the public is forced to do likewise to cope with them, and only the national government can do that Like- wise as commerce grows national in scope, federal control is inevitable. The most powerful cause of liberalization recently has been the inability of states and local governmental units to meet their budgets and provide relief Washington had to step in, to prevent widespread bankruptcy and starvation.
 All these things require larger federal revenue, of course. Government, like business, seems to follow resistless law of enlargement and centralization. The danger, with either is the growth of q great, unwieldy bureaucracy. But so far, 1t is not clear what can be done to stop concentration.

hands, we don't believe that Postmaster General Farley intends his department to Do ridiculed, ns lt certainly will be if the present postmaster Is busted
 We're inclined to think that no action of the democratic town committee of re- cent years will be 90 criticized as this one will be. Nothing will react to it's discredit serve better as foothold for the republi- cans now desperately searching for just such issues. Last, but not least, nothing will serve to convince some of us that Waterbury is being master-minded out of it's enviable position as the banner demo- cratic city of the state.

A Disregard For Opinion

If Town Chairman John H. Crary of the democratic party has been correctly quoted in our newspapers he intends 10 demand that the present acting post master, James T. Kelley, be busted. As spokesman of the democratic party in this city, we're inclined to think that MT Crary ough to weigh well his words before he takes such stand as this one. There will be no retracing this course once he has forwarded to Senator Augustine Lonergan at Washington his intentions and his sup port in the postmastership.
 As the situation stands right now. everybody in Waterbury, with possibly few exceptions, believes that the right man is occupying the position of postmas- ter. There was general satisfaction cx- pressed on all sides when his appointment as acting postmaster arrived here. The expregsiong of good will were spOntane- ous and not cngendered by political asgo- ciatiOns As 4 rule the American people are always ready to praise advancement that comes AS a result of hard work and merit. This was one typical example of it.
 For the democrats of Waterbury tO be pIaced on record as opposed tO the tempOr- ary appointment of MT Kelley is not true representation of facts Yet that is just what Mir crary's endorsement Of another candidate will amount tO in Wash ingt0n. Surely some regard must be had for the individuals themselves. Even re- RardinR postmastership AZ a political plum Co bc tossed this way or that AZ con fr0l of the federal Government changes

Hartford has just authorized $2,000- 900 bond issue to care for the sewage dis posal plans of the metropolitan district it embraces. This will end pollution of the Connecticut river and it's tributaries for quite some distance north and south of Hartford. Hartford and Middletown have long been accused of being the worst of lenders in the Connecticut river valley, just as Waterbury has been held up to criticism in the Naugatuck. It's partcu- larly unfortunate that such plans as are now being rapidly pushed to completion weren't visualized 50 years ago. That was the time when the modern sewage plant which would not utilize river or pond for disposal should have been conceived. Unfortunately we took the easiest course of action and to-day must retrace our steps if that is entirely possible.

New York's park department has taken the right attitude with regard to the city's many public parks. It has increased it's staff of park policemen and ordered all of them to enforce rigidly the law forbidding the strewing of litter on the grass or in any portion of the city's parks. There are designated containers for papers and they are going to be used, if it requires treb- ling the guardians of the public domain. The mandate is, "Order the litterers to pick up their litter. If they refuse or if they persist in littering, arrest them" It's stern measures, but really necessary.

Through federal funds New York city will probably be able to finish the sewage disposal plans t adopted some years ago at the behcst of various courts. Contin- ued pollution of the Jersey coastline by sewage and garbage washed up on the shore led to long series of court actions. Finally New York was ordered to desist polluting the waters by making use of disposal and incinerating plants. It can be imagined just what an outlay this would place upon city the size of New York. The work was started, however, and progressed slowly. Now special as- sessment bonds are to be sold to the fcd- eral government by the city, the proceeds defraying the cost of the city's disposal plants. Such an undertaking should make many other cities pause and con- slider the same problem. Most of them have hesitated to build sewage disposal plants because of the cost to the taxpay- ers Right at the present time no public official desires to impose heavier burdens, yet continued postponement of sewage plans will only run up the eventual cost.

Then he returned to America. but didn't play until after I,ockhart had introduced the game in the east.
