Is It Socialism?

One day early this week William M. Harris called on the people of Waterbury, in a speech before the Rotary Club, to support the housing project that Mayor Frank Hayes recently launched when he sent MT. Harris to Washington as his emissary. MT. Harris is firm believer in better housing conditions for this city ' and was not loath to point out sections of the town where he believed slum- clearance projects should be launched. We stated editorially night or two later that we felt the public of the city would aid any such campaign designed to better housing conditions, Eff they were shown what to do and how to do it. ..."
 There may be many local residents who don't believe that we should have any part of federal aid or Subsidization in behalf of slum clearance or better hous- ing. In fact criticism has been leveled at Mayor Hayes for his actions in making a start towards putting Waterbury in line for a grant or loan for this purpose. And there may be others who like the writer in the September issue of American Builder" finds that the Wagner Housing Act is an "indefensible experiment in
 Socialism.
 The writer regards the situation in this light. People i've m sum or poorly housed districts because they are unable to pay rent for better homes. Uncle Sam decides to give them homes where mod ern conveniences are furnished, yet Ee will charge them low rent such as they can pay. However, this rent will not cover upkeep, so the difference will be borne by the taxpayers. In short American Builder" finds that "The widespread eX- pertinent contemplated in providing some of the people with homes largely or main ly at the expense of the rest of the people raises some important questions. ..."
 American Builder planes lack of homes and slum homes on several items, such as small incomes, high costs of construction, etc. The first it answers by suggesting increased private construction and pro- duction; the second by recommending less insistence on shorter hours and more pay and more insistence on lower hourly wages and longer hours, thus eliminating the h!"h cost of labor.
 The problem is thus going to be com plicated one. On the one hand is ar- rayed an honest group of workers striv- ing to better the living conditions of cross-section of our population. On the other is group, just as honestly con- vinced that by such largess an injustice is being done still another cross section of our peoples. The two must be brought together,

It Can Be Done

Two state departments proved the old adage this week that anything is posSi- ble give a man the chance to work out the problem. Several weeks ago the state was startled when State Welfare Com missioner Frederic c. Walcott announced that after November 1 all old age pen Sions would be reduced $1 a week. This resulted in considerable criticism being passed back and forth among various state officials for short time. And there was nothing that seemed could be done about the whole matter except accept &nce of the plan.
 However, the officials got together and after an official opinion from Attorney General Edward J. Daly it developed that sufficient money to cover the eX- penSes of running the Department of Public Welfare could be met with money from the states general fund This will allow the department to devote all the money that is derived from the old age pension tax of $3 annually to the pen sions now being paid out every week. And it will carry the department through until new funds are available
 Just about the same time Motor Vehicle Commissioner Michael A. Connor was in- forming the public that lack of fundS would compel him to close three branch offices throughout the state - those at Willimantic, Norwalk, and Danbury. There was talk of curtailment of staffs in other towns, too, where there are branch offices. A solution was found, however, after a consultation of officials. It is understood that maintenance of the Highway Safety Commission, which amounts to $l4,000 year, will not be a Motor Vehicle Department problem any longer, but will be put under the State Highway Department.
 Thus by putting heads together and puzzling things out our officials worked their way out of difficulties that made much concern for a time. It is the soIv- ing of such difficulties as these, in manner as satisfactory, that makes the lowly voter at home have regard for the s1en he helped elect.

Mexican Horse Trading

One danger in dishing out new deal at home is that a good neighbor may come calling for his borrowed pots and pans before the feast is over. At least that is the impression given by Mexico's threatened retaliation after Boulder dam blocked water hitherto received by Mex ico. Mexican officials say that soon they will be in position to cut off two lower tributaries of the Rio Grande river, thus drying up the Texas water supply for 100 miles in the region southeast of Browns vile.
 So far, Mexico hasn't definitely decided to take this action. It is being held back as bargaining point, somewhat after the David Harum barter fashion. It's probable that Mexico would withdraw the threat in exchange for some of the Colorado river water withheld by Boulder dam. Texas, for one, could hardly appre- ciate 100 miles of dry border. It seems that Mexico has whittled Uncle Sam down to some pretty sharp horse trading.

Labor paY

Labor Day, 1887, finds labor little more settled than Labor Day, 1936. There have been strikes, there are strikes and doubtless there will be more strikes before any millennium arrives. But many of the big ones have been settled in ways which will hold both sides for time. And labor itself is beginning to see that it must take on responsibility along with its rights. It has begun to clean house, to throw out corruption within its own forces.
 Only with responsibility and clean hands can Labor advance to the high place in national life, in the respect ot fellowmen, to which it aims. Gains have been made in this past year. Further gains will be made in the future. For the present, production is the great need Here's to steady jobs and steady work at them

The question of obtaining water for stores or buildings where air conditioning prevails hasn't yet reached a high point In Waterbury, Frank Cassin, assistant superintendent of the Water Department, asserts. He brought out something, too, that recalled sidelight to us. He men, toned that ones local firm utilizes an old well in its basement for air-conditioning purposes. They are doing this in New Haven, only down there several companies had artesian wells drilled in their cellars. This was due to the fact that their water bills had scared when air conditioning units were installed New Haven is sup piled water by private company.

Intyre, his secretary:
 "Mr. Mcintyre, have you sn- swered that letter to MT. Sat- terIee yet2"
 And then without waiting for an answer, she continued:S
 "You know it's . very lni- pOrtant letter. It's much more important than most Of these other letters you angweF, and I don't want you tO forget it. want you to tell Mir. Sat- terlee how much Franklin ap. preclated his letter." Z.
 Then, turning to Miss Mar- guerite Le Hand, the Presidents private secretary, she continued: l:
 "You'll see that its answered, won't you, Mlssy?"
 At this point Mcintyre sought to divert Mrs. Roosevelt'e atten. ton by having her peek through a camera lens to sec how her son looked in the picture for which he was posing. However, she was not to be diverted. She took one look, then left the room saying: G..fs,
 "Now don't forget that lct- ter to Mir. Satteriee."

That Waterbury's water system will stand the test of all the new-fangled de- vices that modern living has provided for mans comfort is attested by all our officials. We have plenty of water to spare and not even drought can cause any concern. When we speak of drought we naturally speak of 1t in terms of days, not weeks or months, because Waterbury and environs has never ex- perienced a severe drought in recent years. We have gone many days without rainfall, but never so long that human lives were endangered. We are fortunate in this respect. We are also fortunate in possessing a water system that so capa- ply meets all our demands and can stand still more if necessary. Most people fail to take into consideration the fact that water is playing so important part in our lives. Without 1t in natural form man would have to manufacture water by capturing it from the air.

POLITICAL CLUBS WILL REVERT TO ORIGINAL PURPOSE
 UNDER MERIT SYSTEM
Waterbury, Conn, Sept. 3, 1887.

WHtSAVNAyI 0VhAAp
 Sept. 3, 1887.
 Editor, Waterbury Democrat:
 A matter of great interest for the tax payers and for the public In general IS periodically discussed in the Waterbury newspapers: 1t Is the so-called Merit system.
 Tn the past, we had the oppor- tunity of stressing the necessity of rendering the various branches of the city administration more ef1i- ciently operated and completely in. dependent from the political ma. chimes, therefore we can express our sincere corlmendatlon for the com. rnlttee that iS advocating the adop- ton of c system possessing the power for reaching those objectives and in the same time ask your per- mission for explaining an important probable result of the Merit System enactment.
 Some of our trends, in soliciting our viewpoint in the matter are ask- ing if, after the Merit System adop- ton, the political clubs will have reason for continuing their exist- ence. The question contains an inc direct allusion to the principal mos tive that influences many citizens In tho choosing of their political align- ment; the probable opportunity of obtaining . public paid occupation.
 My dear friends, the Merit System will extirp from the roots the tum- orous corruption which Is always the consequence of "jobs" distribution. It will be the major moral aceomp- lishment of the Merit System adop. ton. But not the only. 'f
 It will assure to every public paid city position . personnel capable, efficient, honest and always inter. ested in improving the cognitiona necessary for the progressive efnca. cious fuihllment of their work, be- cause they will depend only on their ability and competence and no more on the capricious and unscrupuloua decisions of politicians. aFn Tbe Merit System" will, also, of. fer the opportunity to everyone, res gardless of his political afiiliation or racial extraction, to serve the pub- lie in his chosen field. With the ending the politicians domination will, also, come the end of the racial discrimination in favor of some groups, tribes or families. And, above all, the elective positions, deprivated of the patronage assignation, and of the relative concurrent corruption, may attract the desire of citizens of high character and of adamantine reputability, interested in giving to the city an administration of high efaciency and of conscientious cor. rectness. As . consequence, the political clubs will continue to exist. but their activities will be restored to their fundamental reason of being: merely, the formation of the mem. ber's political mind: the strengthen ing of the party principles and the cultivation of the spirit of duty which inspires every citizen at serv- ing with the best of their energy and ability. in the government qf the City, of the State and Of the Nation.

"Old Chester Days"
 Quiet and Charming

Quiet and Charming
 In collecting and reprinting some of the favorite Old Chester tales by Margaret Deland in the volume "Old Chester Days" (Harper & Brothers, $250), the publishers have granted a request of Miss Deland's many admirers and provided @ new pleasure for those to whom Old Chester is unknown.
 A quiet little town on the Ohio river, Old Chester is the home of John Gordon and his limit daugh- ter, Mary, who married pomade salesman; of bustling little Miss Lydia, who couldn't understand that she was poor and insisted on giving presents: of Capt. Alfred Price. who still swaggered at 70 and swore strange oaths about his grandmother's nightcap; and of Dr. Lavender, who said: There is nothing more constantly aston ishing to me than the goodness of the bad unless 1t is badness of the good" < ! eeee s@ASSS ENORAS 0AAA eAAO 'AAA0AAy others in the stories lived in old Chester in the era when men drove fast trotters and women rustied in hoopskirts. But their stories will never be oid-fash- toned. The fashions of time do not affect the problem of human suffering in "At the Stuffed Anil maj House." or the jealousy a wife feels over the love of her hus- band cherlshes for a woman long dead in "An Exceeding High Mountain" Or the grief of an old sin that shadows the love of a husbands and wife in Good for the Soul" For human nature doesn't change and fear and hate and love are permanent passions. With so much of modern fiction cluttered up with neurotic woui- en and ganEsters. 1t ls delightful to find . collection like "Old Chester Days" which fairly beams wsth charm and goodness. -H. N.

It would take more than two hands to count up the number of warm weekends we have had this summer. In one way that's a blessing because it encouraged a lot of people to take trips and thus break up the monotony of the week. It also aided the summer resorts and amusement centers. AS for those Of us who remained at home all the time, well, we can think back of the days when we didn't care how hot it got so long as we could romp and run in the sunshine and never have worry about what was to come next.

Selected Poem
SMILE

SMILE Author not known, Boston Post Reprint Like bread without the spreadin', Like a puddin' without sauce, Like a mattress without beddin', Like a cart without a hoss, Like door without latchstring, Like a fence without stile. Like dry an barren creek bed Is the face without smile. Like a house without a dooryard, Like yard without flower, Like a clock without handspring, That will never tell the hour; A thing that sort O makes you feel A hunger all the while Oh, the Saddest sight that ever was Is the face without smile! The face of man was built for smiles An thereby he is blest Above the critters of the field, The birds an all the rest; He's just little lower
 Than the angels in the skies, An the reason is that he can smile; Therein his glory liesI So smile an don't forgit to smile, An smile, an smile ag'in; Twill help you all along the way, An cheer you mile by mile; An so, whatever is your lot. Jes' smile, an smile, an smile.
