Local Befogging

Last week the Republican and
American took the occasion to
print some comment on the re-
spective financial conditions Of
Waterbury and Hartford. the
purpose Of course being to put
the city administration here in
the worst light possible. There
was an aggregation of figures
which no one but an experienced
analyst Of money matters could
understand. The average citizen
is easily befogged by set-ups of
this sort and more easily fooled
by unwarranted conclusions
drawn from them by interested
parties.
I doubt II there is q single
member of the staff OF either
Republican or American who
could tell what the whole thing
was about. furthermore doubt
II anyone regularly employed
on either paper made the al.
legged analysis. MY counsel to
anyone foolish enough to read
Sucn Stuf1, moro Oh winch -
sure to be published as the city
election draws near, is to read
their own tax bills and let the
statisticians juggle their own
figures.
For the truthful position Of
Waterbury's standing among the
cities Of the United States fair
minded people are referred to
the statement printed In last
Thursdays WATERBURY DEM
OCRAT. The Municipal Research
Bureau which prepared the ma
tionwide analysis of Municipal
aties has neither any connection
with the city administration nor
any political party.

Hope Deferred

Old fashioned democrats looked
on the Heating appointment as
an indication that the governor
had mended his political ways.
The wish was father to the
thought. Failure to rename Mr..
Hendrick to his former post was
based upon something else be-
sides the fact he was a Republic
can. In addition to his job as
member of the board of finance
and control at an annual salary
of $1,000-less the customary
cut-Mr. Hendrick ran a publ
cation with the slightly mislead-
ing title of 1.-THE Connecticut
State Journal" which journal sold
for twenty cents per copy. Sim
pie Connecticut folk, and they
are innumerable, imagined that
the publication was sponsored
and paid for by the state. In q
sense the impression was justi-
fed. Connecticut is in the ac-
tual possession of J. Henry Rora-
backs party and The Connecti-
cut State Journal was a propa-
ganda sheet for Republican poll
teal interests. Governor Cross in
his early campaign utterances
last fall made all this perfectly
clear. In return Mr.. Hendrick
put the governor on the editorial
griddle several times and turned
him over until there remained
not an inch of the chief execu-
tive's skin which had not been
basted to a luscious brown.

AS might have been expected the duck
hunting season in 1885 will be limited to
but 80 days. This may be bitterly assailed
by many hunters, but the truth of the
matter is that more ducks have been killed
every year for the past 35 years than have
been Matched. And that's too heavy toll
in wild life. We must do something to pre-
serve many species now almost extinct.
Fewer hunting days is one sure method
of conservation.

Editor, Waterbury Democrat:
Settlers Village mentioned in
your paper or over the radio, Is
always designed by someone, but
the right person-iet us get this
straight--the entire village, with
cooperation OF each individual ma
tionality, was designed by Gerard
Sitters. who has drawn all the
plans and detailed every part,
from information and thumb
sketches furnished 10 him. Why
not give the credit that IL due

lob than Mr.. Hendrick? 1t
seems as IL Governor Cross has
overlooked q good bet In refus-
ing to re-appoint him.
Puzzle
What rouses my interest Ii not
Mr.. Hendricks loss Of job. In
his journalistic adventures dur
ing the last state campaign he
tackled my unworthy hide on the
barn door beside Governor Cross,
a position Of distinction I never
hoped for. Personally I do not
cherish the remotest feeling OF
resentment for what he pub
lished about me. Especially in
view of the fact that the very
things I said about his party's
candidates should have never
been permitted to reach the ears
and eyes Of Republican voters.
Mr.. Hendricks Connecticut
State Journal helped me to
reach people would never have
been able to touch otherwise. 1t
was bad journalism and worse
politics. Fate has punished Mr..
Hendrick for his folly and am
the last person alive to find fault
with the operations of Justice.
What really stirs my curiosity Is
this:
Why should Mr.. Hendrick
hire an expensive lawyer, and
involve himself in litigation
which cannot be cheap, just to
hang onto q Job which pays
$1,000 q year, less the CUSTOM
AIRY cut? What is there in the
position of appointed member
of the state board Of finance
and control which makes its
retention O matter OF such vi.
tai importance?
I have always been under the
impression that the only reward
besides the paltry pittance re-
ferred to was the bore Of attend
ing the weekly meetings Of the
board and the headache which
they created. However, there are
SO many things which Wheel
horse Republican politicians un-
derstand and Of which the rank
and file of the party remain ig-
norant, that my own lack Of
knowledge is not strange.
haven't the least doubt that what
impels Mr.. Hendrick in his de-
sire to keep the job from which
Governor Cross has ousted him
is not the pennies involved but
the principle. There are people
like that.

Tit for Tat

Under. ordinary circumstances
Governor Cross does not exhibit
abnormal traces of super-sensi-
tiveness. He would be much less
than human, however, II he
failed to display some slight dis
taste for the literary stencil
bombs tossed in his lap by Mr..
Hendricks pamphlet and II,
when the happy day arrived, he
should seize the chance. to get
hunk with the bomb singer. The
day arrived and Mr.. Hendrick,
as related above, ceased to be q
member of the board which la
dies out the states money. The
governors actioO, nevertheless,
has served to shake Connecti-
cuts confidence in his lofty ideal
of public service. There are con-
siderations Of state which should
have stayed his hand and out
weighed his perfectly UNDER
standable desire to square things
with a political foe.

ANTI-RADICAL
LEGISLATION
AID PLEDGED

SACRAMENTO Calf, Jan. ID.
W.P)-Opposition to permanent reg
istration of voters, and support OF
anti-Communistic legislation were
expressed in resolutions adopted by
the northern unit of the California
Republican assembly. -----4
: Republican leaders, gathered from
all sections of northern California,
also approved Governor Frank F..
Merriam's decision to call an anti
crime conference.
Assemblyman Frank G.. Martin of
Altadena, leader in anti-Commun-
istic activity in the legislature, told
the Republicans there was need
"for immediate action against the
Communist party or any political
group advocating the overthrow of
government by violence"
The resolution, urging the legis-
lature to take action against sub
yersive activities declared the Com
munist party to be illegal, uncon-
stitutional, unethical and immoral
in its intent and purpose toward
the government of the United States
and OF the various states"

PRINCESS Of
SPAIN WEDS
Former Queen Victoria Fails
To Attend Marriage Of
Daughter To Duke.
By THOMAS b. MORGAN
Imted Press Staff CORRESPONDENT


United Press Staff Correspondent
ROME. Jan. 14.-Princess Beat
rice of Spain, elder daughter of for
mer King Alfonso, was married to-
day to Duke Alessandro Torlonia, a
son of the former Mary Elsie Moore
OF New York and Bridgeport, Conn.
Former Queen Victoria, the prin-
cess mother, remained in England,
refusing to attend the ceremony be-
cause, it was understood, she en-
phatically disapproved of the mar
riage of another member of the
royal family to non-royal person.
Princess Beatrice and Alessandro
VIII leave late today for Naples, TO
emt ark for honeymoon in the
United States.
The brilliant marriage ceremony
at the Church of Jesus, with Car
dinal Seguray Saens, archbishop of
Toledo, officiating, was the result of
a love match which probably de-
TERED the princess from entering a
convent.
Less than year ago she was re-
ported ready to become nun. She
is deeply religious. Her insistence
on taking her cousin Prince Alvaro
to church at 7 a. m. each day was
reported to have been the cause of
the breaking of their engagement
to marry three years ago.
Oondon newspapers reported
that the princess insisted that the
lingerie for her wedding today
should be made by Spanish nuns)
Beatrice is the second child of
the Spanish royal couple to marry
non-royally. Her elder brother, AL
fonso, married Edelmira Sampeer-
oon, daughter of a Cuban planta-
ton owner. Her younger brother,
jaime, this spring is to marry Coun-
tess Manuela Dampierre, daughter
of the counsellor of the French en-
bassy here.
Queen Victoria's refusal to at
tend Beatrice's wedding was said
to have been due, directly to her
disapproval of Alfonso's democratic
attitude toward his children's mar
riageS. Reports that an annulment
of the marriage of Alfonso and Vic
toria might be attempted were de-
MED.
