past the city of Pittsburgh.
 Several months ago the health authorities of Pennsylvania or- dered the Curtis mill to cease dumping waste into the river on the ground that 1t injured Pitts. burgh's water supply. A law passed in 1905 against tho pollus ton of streams was cited as au- thority.
 However, the Curtis mill did not cease. Several tanneries To- cated along the same river stopped, but the Curtis plant did not.
 Finally, Pennsylvanla's AttOr. ney General Margi0tti moved to entoin Che paper mill. The in- Junction was denied. Then MargiotM brought suit.
 Shortly afterward the, company called Q meeting of ell It's eIl1- ployes in Q local theater, and Frank schott, superintendent of the mill, warned them that the policy of the democratic admin istration in Pennsylvania was about to wreck the plant. Since then Attorney General Margiotu has stated that, if tho Curtis company puts in experimental machinery to abate the waste, he will drop the suit.

A Crucial Test

Tomorrow night millions of American voters will have the supreme satisfaction of seeing the candidates of their choice returned victorious at the polls. We sin cerely hope and trust that more than good majority of them will be of the democratic faith. The old saw of not stopping to change horses in midstream applies right at this present moment as 1t has never applied before. We need a continuation of Rooseveltian policies all over the nation. They have relieved the sick and weary. We expect them to place the United States in the very pink of condition.
 Here in Connecticut and Waterbury the issues have been clearly outlined to the voters. There need be no fear or hesi- tation in endorsing the democratic ticket from top to bottom. We might point out an object lesson by citing little story that was told to us last week. A factory employe dropped into local shoe store and purchased two pairs of shoes and paid for them on the spot. As he received his change from the clerk, personal friend, he said, "What difference this is from three years ago."
 When the clerk pressed him for the req son of this remark, he continued, "Three years ago could barely purchase and nay for a pair of shoe-laces. Today, can buy and pay promptly for two pairs Of shoes. Isn't that something to talk and wonder about? And what's more three years ago out when work there were only four autos in the parking space at 9 o'clock. Yesterday morning at 9 O. clock there were close to 300 cars there. What do you make of those things?"
 You can make anything you want of them, but the sensible person can only 'deduce that from chaos some sort of order has been produced. Some of 1t may Just have happened, as republicans are quick to claim, but great deal of 1t was brought about through the efforts Of President Franklin D. Roosevelt and democratic officials all through the na- tion working in harmony and coopera- ton with him. We can certainly be thankful that the White House was in- habited by Mir. Roosevelt during the last three years. We cannot in fairness and justice to ourselves and to the President do anything but return him and his democratic colleagues to office.
 We could array in orderly sequence ar- sguments for his return, for the return of ,democratic congressman, including our own Rep. Joseph Smith, for the election of the democratic state ticket and democratic Legislature in Connecticut, for the election of our several local can didates, but they should be apparent to all. To disrupt the progress of good gov lernment as now being given by demo- crats would be to return us to state from which we were glad to emerge not lso many years ago. We solicit your Esarnest support of the democratic party. Pull the top lever all the way across.

Cut The Grabbing

Both democrats and republicans should ibe agreed on one thing even though this
 is the eve of election. That is, that Con- snecticut needs an unemployment insur- Bance law. There are many reasons why such agreement should be forthcoming
 at this time In the first place 1t is an
 essential piece of social security legisla- ton, demanded not merely by the times and by .he depression through which I've have just come, but by the very nature rof our economic existence. In the second splace Connecticut should not be so ob- .stinate that she will forego federal grants by failure to have on her statute books -suitable unemployment insurance law. ' It has been unfortynate that the pro- sposed law has become a political football. I've don't know if this is the fault of the s..goyernor's special commission which was s,supposed to bring in recommendations and suggestions for the Legislature to consider and act upon. Maybe it was z merely an enterprising newspaperman lswho saw a chance to scoop the state and < flashed the information that both employees and employers would be ex- ( 'pected to contribute to the unemploy- ment insurance fund. At any rate 1t was like bombshell and the chances are now that the special legislative session late this week will degenerate into a hectic
 few days.
 Z We even doubt that good law will be z eEawn up and passed. It is more than :. hkely that all the special session will
 produce will be law conforming Con-
 nacticut statutes to federal with regard

The death of Nils J. Engelke last week made Waterbury conscious of the fact that it's Civil War veterans are slowly but surely responding to the last "taps". Once upon time this city could muster out fine array of vets of 65; no more, though. Of recent years there have only been few and those proud remnant of the staunch ranks we once boasted. It is sad to sec them go, but that's life and they realize that their lives have been well spent, including as they do, years given to their country in its defense. Soon the last Civil War veteran will be 8 marked man.

Old Game of Coercion.
By CHARLES MTCHELSoN

Hard outlined what he considered an honest party platform and curi- ously enough 1t advocated: "A bet- ter control of production for the processes of sale"
 MT. Hard's Ab0ut-Face
 Another of his paragraphs said that government "has been Q janitor and Q jailor. It must now become the architect of the social structure within which private capital may both profit and serve." He also iil- sisted on public works on behalf of employment and thereupon on be. half of consumption. If and when private credit cannot provide the spark for the re-ignition of the cy- cle of consumption, 1t is for tho pub- lie credit to do so." And he also deciared that relief through gov- ernmental employment enterprises Is vitally reconstructive, since 1t eventuates in new spending and in new producing on large scalc." He insisted that 'production controls, within flexible limits, and of speci. fled commodities. should be encour. aged by government and should be operated under governmental aus- pices." He also expressed the hope that American business, of It's own motion, and through its own collec- tive units," would effect the read- justinent desired, and he followed this with "in 50 far as this hope is not realized, we pledge the congress to proceed to a drastic use of the power of taxation"
 He demanded 0 federal law to maintain an unemployment com. pensation fund" and added "the placing of all appropriate social burdens upon capitalism is the hu- mani2ing of 1t and the perpetua ting of t." and in the same article is this paragraph:
 "Purpcse--Our design is to escape socialism by obliging private busi- ness to be social in it's ambitions and achievements"
 Betting ( to 1 on Roosevelt
 Some people might take this to be Q defense of the New Deal. It Is more than that, for it was pulp lished in June, le32, before the New Deal was ever put into operation.
 Of course, the views or previous views of any professional propa- gandist are not of great conse- quence in 6 presidential campaign. ss Is evidenced by the circumstance that the betting in Wall street is now { to that Roosevelt will win the election.
 Even the frenzied dash of Cover nor Landon back east hasn't changed those odds - or anything else.

The news that tavern owners in Con- necticut would seek revision of existing liquor laws at the special session of the Legislature next week will be the signal for many interests to prepare bills. How ever, they should be rejected promptly. This session is called for duo-fold pur- pose. Both arc clear and have been set forth. No other matter should come before the legislators. The 1887 session is scheduled for January.

 Monitor shy young thing-a slender moon In silver snood and silver .loon- Arose from out @ ring of light And ventured forth into the night. When all the world seemed sound Ssleep She played among the shadows deep; Then peeped and peered and saw around Silver forms on the silver ground, Here roof with silvery sheen And there a silver flowing stream. An owl that lived in tree near by Had silver claws and silver eye! From the top of the trees she saw Silver boats on silver shore. And do you know there seemed to be A silver bridge across the sea

late yesterday off Alexandria, Egypt,
the Admiralty said today.
Only Pilot C. CORY Wilson was

The crash apparently was due, the
Admiralty said, to failure of all

Absence of wreckage in the harbor
left little doubt that the ship had
sunk with the nine passengers and
three members of the crew aboard.
Destroyers, tugs and small boats
searched the waters outside the har-
Dor throughout the night for sur
vivors. Aircraft joined the search at
dawn.
Among the missing were an Amer
lean, an Italian, two British women
and two Greeks. Their names were
