sBoneheads" or Mothers?

A new significance may be given to the old slang term, ''bonehead", by the re- ported discovery of St. Louis physician. Dr. Sherwood Moore reported to medical gathering the other day new disease observed by him, which he calls "hyster- osis", peculiar to women. The patients affected, he says become fat and lethar- gic. A common symptom among them is "a considerable thickening of front and rear bone structure of the skull, the bone tissue sometimes growing to thickness of half to three-quarters of an inch"
 The cause of such growth, if pr. Moore is right, is no less remarkable than the growth itself. He thinks it may come from women, in this age of small families, not having enough children to use up the normal amount of calcium that nature has stored in their bodies for the pur- post of providing babies with strong bones and teeth. That seems to offer women ai1 interesting dilemma. Which shall it be -boneheadedness and obesity, or more children?

Are There Other Factors?

Taxes, high interest. rates, and short amortization were cited as the main req sons for no widespread building construc- tion operations in the United States at the second regional conference of the National Association of Real Estate Boards in Hartford this week. For many years now we have been listening to a steady protest against real estate being made the goat for all tax programs It forms the main source of local income for towns and cities. If it didn't, we pre- sume that officials would be obliged to shift this burden to some other revenue producing source. What, we don't know.
 It probably is true that the three req sons cited above contribute to conspic- uous lack of building activity throughout the entire country. But in many per haps isolated, instances there are exam p,es that contradict the facts Occasion ally a community will mushroom over- night into flourishing city despite taxes, high interest rates, and short amortiza- tion Incidentally more attention has been certainly paid to this latter feature of home construction of recent years than in long time.
 Through various agencies home builder may not spread his costs over twenty years which is ten short of what one realtor at the Hartford session urged, but is, nevertheless, quie a long time for man to complete the financing of his own home and often represents the lifetime of home. We often have thought that other factors entered into this never ending dispute over home ownership. Modern modes of living have great deal to do with it. Too many young people are being educated to the belief that q home is temporary and simply where the immediate inclination causes you to stop.

Law And Order

vigilante organizations (usually re- ferred to euphoniously as Flaw and order groups') have won considerable ap- proval in various localities lately. But Americans in general are inclined to think too high price may be paid for law and order of this kind.
 This conclusion is implied in the result of recent national poll on the subject. More. than three-fourths of the citizens questioned, representing all sorts of Americans, declared against that kind of government. It may have been neces- sary and justifiable in early days, on the frontier, they seemed to say, but is always regrettable, and should never be resorted to except as last resort, to prevent utter lawleSsneSs.
 This is the verdict as regards violence on the part of labor, or employers, or any other groups inclined to seize police func- tions arbitrarily even though the usurpers believe they are. using their power for public benefit.

Much is heard in song and story of Kentucky bluegrass. In fact the state is nicknaned that. Why, we don't know, because Kentucky bluegrass is not native to Kentucky, but is an European impor- tation. So is Canadian bluegrass. And both Kentucky and Canadian bluegrass are fast driving out inferior grasses in the eastern United States. Which is good thing, when you come right down to it. Ordinarily it's. the inferior that drives out the superior. Whensfthe opposite occurs there is always cause for rejoicing. However, in this battle for the supremacy of good grasses, over weeds and in ferior brands, we have arrayed all the forces of state and federal government on the one side. Pasture grasses may seem hap hazard to the city fellow, but they are the result of much thought, more experi- mentation, and careful attention.

Who Fits The Description?

The Hartford Courant is taking cog nizance of the furore in Republican ranks at the moment as the party pre- pares to fill several places in its official organization. Election of a successor to J. Henry Roraback, who successfully held three offices for many years, isn't as simple as it might seem, as we have stated on several occasions. And cer- tainly the plan to find three men for the three positions that MT. Roraback held isn't as simple either.
 The Courant believes and says, "1n revitalizing the party no better first step could be taken than for the State Com mittee to part company with the past and vest it's leadership in hands not too closely associated with the old regime. Someone surely can be found for chalr- man who has new outlook and a new sense of direction, who is forceful but not domineering who has no embarraSs- ing entanglements, who recognizes that each member of the committee has an equal voice in it's affairs, who values the free expression of party opinion and who is responsive to well-meant suggestions, who understands that delegates to party convention are free moral agents, and as such are entitled to make their own de cisions, who believes that it is the func- tion of the committee not to dictate choices but to leave nothing undone to elect the ticket nominated, who does not regard himself or the committee as CO., ordinate branch of the Legislature, and who, of course, possesses high character, resolute purpose and good will towards his associates. ..."
 That may be regarded as rebuke towards the control that MT. Roraback exercised over the party reins for the past 25 years It may also be regarded as warning to those who planned to con- tinue the Roraback rule to abandon their quest for authority. It may also be a bid for particular candidate mentioned for the state chairmanship, the office of national committee man and the party treasureship, but if so, then, Republicans will have to name this paragon of political virtue. It's tough standard that these officers to be must approach. l.

 He will also emphasize the
 issues of Democracy versus Fas-j cism, and the importance of making Democracy a living,

 In this connection. one sentence taken from his Constitution Day address may serve as the keynote on this trip. It is: Nothing would so surely destroy the sub4 stance of what the Bill of Rights protects than its perversion to prevent social progress."<

AN HONEST MAI. IS OUR MAYOR, BUT ISN'T HE
 WINKING. SAYS -s
Waterbury Conn. September ,,23, 1887.

Editor, Waterbury, Democrat:
 It is refreshing to read the de- cision of the court in regard to the Merit System question. The posi- tion of the mayor, and the political machine of which he is the head, is easy to understand. Mayor Hayes is an honest man and if he were talking in private, no doubt he would wink at you when, he says that he believes in a merit system. Every politician when up against 1t says that he believes in the merit system, but not the merit system. in question, It Is always some, other merit system. {, i p<<.. .4l '
 The Merit System is intended to accomplish three things:
 FIRST, efficiency and economy in the public service; s.
 SECOND, g fair and democratic plan by which any man can attain an office if he can prove, that he is the best man for 1t, regardless ot his politcical opinions or activities;
 AND THIRD, the destruction oi political machines by making 1t im- possible to use the offices as bribes.
 Of these three the important one in the eyes of the politicians is the third, and they are right. If the Merit System is- honestly enforced 1t would make 1t impossible to run such g machine as Is in control oi Waterbury, and the economic and eficient administration of the city would follow, as a matter of course As Mayor McLevy explained, the matter, is very simple. If you run the city as 8 business proposition, regardless of politics you get ef- flciency and economy. If you run 1t for the purpose of rewarding your political friends, efAciency and ecOn- olny are impossible.

There is money in turkeys after all Many raisers consider the turkey risk, but out in western states they proved to be life-saver this past summer. They waged warfare on grasshoppers that were ravaging the countryside. Tests showed that grown turkey would account for 1000 young or 800, to 300 old grasshop- pers in one day. Set flock loose and the inroads would surely cut down grass hopper destruction. <':, -,

Another Impression

Another impression I got from Cousin Georges" speech was that all the honest citizens of Water- bury and a'l the unpurchasable citizens of Waterbury were en- listed in his ranks. Perhaps l drew the wrong inference from his statement but 1t struck me as being unacceptable. I hope I am wrong and that Cousin George" had no such intenton. I do not think that everyone interested in Cousin Georges" success is dis honest or has a price. think his followers are misguided but in view of the common frailty of hu- man nature and the realization Of my own shortcomings I refuse to suspect them of moral obliquity. Mayor Hayes has been elected to office not only by the votes of the members of the Democratic party but also by the votes of members
