The plan to place the shoeshine bri- gade of this city under some form of reg iilation may seem like interference, but actually 1t is step in the right direction. There are a great many little fellows who spend the summer months and winter ones, too, after school-hours helping out the family by bringing in a few dollars. With such honest endeavor no one can surely find fault. It is with the hope of benefitting those who are engaged in the trade for such purpose that Miss Kath- leen Crowley, juvenile probation officer, has proposed to the Board of Alderman a form of licensing and is now procuring data on boys engaged in the business.
 Some time back we commented favor. ably on the idea. We think it will also work out well. It should rid the city of good many objectionable youngsters

Whether or not 1t was a campaign gesture the average man will be glad to read that administration and congress sional leaders are convinced that the tops in taxes has been reached. In fact, py the time that Congress gets together next January Jar @ 1t may be possible to eliminate some of the so-called nuisance levles. This, we presume, is dependent on the election of Q democratic Congress Progress towards balanced budget means that the country has just about weathered the storm. But it's funny how one problem presents itself just a soon as another leaves. We've been worrying about jobs; now we've got to worry about food supplies, Jobs are becoming more plentiful, meaning greater purchasing bower. But if there arc no food supplies to buy, what good is increased earning power? It leaves something for Uncle Sam to do in the farm belts in the way Of providing for drouth and erosion.

CAPITALISM HAS DESERTED DEMOCRACY IN SPAIN

August la, lVSV' Editor, Waterbury Democrat:
 The lesson to Do drawn form cur. rent events in Spain is extremely important to the American people.
 When the powers of finance capl. tal are no longer demoeraticRlly supported by Q majority then cap- itallBm has no longer any uso for democracy.
 Capitalism b determined to rule with or without democracy.
 Tn actuaIIty democracy does not exist but for the ruling class. Onee the people come to power through democratic channels, aB in Spain, then their self.appointed masters proceed to destroy democracy in favor of the military dictatorship neces.. Bary to maintain their rule against the will of the majority.
 The modern trend toward facism, the destruction of progTeBS and civil liberties is the formula by which Q decayIng and parasitic ruling class retains It's gtrangie hold on the dc. termined and revolutionary forces of progress.
 Tn the last year facism has clear. Iy defined itself by It's actions. There can no longer be any doubt Rs to the character of fascism as menace in civilization.
 Tn Spain you have Q crystal clear alignment of forces. on the side of the people is Q coalition of the forces of progress who if they wish to survive must of necessity struggle for democracy. Without democracy they will be destroyed ana witn them will go the hopes and aspira" tons of Q great race of people.
 Nobody knows this better that the Spanish people. That is why they are heroically defending themselves against the blackest and most 70" actionary conspiracy to destroy their human rights.
 It is this knowledge that hes brought them to sec the need oE unity against the common enemy.
 The issue today in Spain, aS in many other countries, ours included is democracy or fagcisni and not as the enemies of the popular front would have 1t, bolshevisn or fasc" ism.
 Those who formulate the issue iii such words do 50 to defeat dem- ocracy and promote fascism. They advocate the rule of th1 parasitic minority over the overwhelming majority. They are the agents Of Wall street, of the industrial barons, of the monopolies, who are eollec- lively driving toward the eStap- Ilshment of fascism in our country The strugRia aeainst reliRion 10

If nothing else the convention of the Catholic Total Abstinence Union Of America, held this week at Hartford, has created plenty of talk. Perhaps that's what it's leaders wanted to do. They have leveled attention on the question of liquors in rather startling fashion by rather startling statements. We don't doubt but what the effects will be an increased interest in abstinence and temperance movements. To our way of thinking they have far more reason be- hind them than the efforts to cause gov- ernments to impose non-drinking laws on a nation of polyglot peoples.

Selected Poem

THE MOVING (Charles Madam in the Christian Science Monitor) The green plant grass Lies to the ground, Like the smell of nightfall, Brooding, mysterious Gently goes over With signing sound. High at the rump The great brown horses Haul at the cutter, Their long heads nodding At the tall cool rows Where the unmarked course is. The mind of the man Is the path they follow The mind of the man And the smell of nightfall Low in the grass, And the flight of a swallow.
