A Thought for Today
About Time To Build Up

A remarkable feature of this political campaign in Waterbury is the fact that the Fusion ticket candidates, at least .he ones who have been making public addresses, have been devoting all their time and energies to beating their op- ponents as unmercifully as possible. Every word they utter is in chiticism Of A word uttered by an administration spokesman or directed against some ac- tion of theirs during the Hayes regime. All of which is customary in Waterbury. Seldom has there been a campaign con- ducted by a party opposing the Demo- crats that didn't resort to the same tac- tics.
 Now if MT. Culhane, MT. Rowland and others on the Republican-1ndepend Democrat ticket would start to tell the city just what they themselves would have done had they been placed Tn po- sition similar to that of Mayor Hayes, Controller Leary, ct al, the voters would know how to conduct themselves on elec- ton day. Why doesn't some speaker for the Fusian party try this line of tactics? Surely some sort of platform must nave been evolved by this time. Controller Leary tried to get some sort Of declara- along this line, but failed to produce any thing but cry of "falsehood."
 We think a campaign, waged by the opposing party, of course, along these these lines would be educational, as well as novel. The administration has cer- tainly tried to parade It's accomplish nents and its aims before the public. But somehow or other the "outs" call them by another name. You know the old say Ing about rose, though. Call them what you may, boys, they still remain achieve ments. And If the Hayes administration is proud of them, boasts about them, you've got to do more than merely hurl stones. You've got to show that you could do as good So far we don't see that you have offered anything to the voting public but an ability to rave and roar.

Why County?

In the course of his remarks last week to the Waterbury League of Women VoC- CTS J. Francis Smith, chairman of the Democratic State Central Committee, re- marked that ". a county is moro important political unit in other states than 1t is in Connecticut. ." MT. Smith was discussing political organizations and how they build up from small district groups to national committees. The gist of his remarks was that more active par ticipation should be taken by voters !n political parties and organizations.
 The giSt of our remarks will be the county as form of government On sev- eral occasions we have touched on this subject. We will wonder If perhaps the day isn't far distant when the county will banish entirely from our midst. Perhaps it's farther away than we imagine, but on the basis of real need we think that counties could be eliminated tomorrow and the people never know the difference.
 In state as small as Connecticut and with the form of government that we now maintain the use and need of county gov- ernment decreases with the passage Of time Thus we still have our county sys- tenn of jails, but they are definitely on the way out and only strenuous efforts in the last few years have prevented establish ment of the jail farm. The county home is bound to be the object of much atten- ton, due to unpleaSantneSs in Windham county. About the only county institu- tions withStanding assault are the su- perior and common pleas courts. Outside of this and making people geography conscious we can't quite see that the county accomplisheS anything.

Real Americanism

It is not often that so much good sense is crowded into one speech as Commander Harry w. Colmery uttered in his annual report to the American Legion. Lest it be forgotten, here are few memorable extracts: America is still "a melting pot of citizenship" and there should there fore be no alien-baiting. But, "reserving proper courtesy and hospitality for for eigners within our gates, it is time in America to quit making appeals to Ger mans, Irish, Italians, Polish, Jews, etc., and make our appeals to people as Americans"
 Legionnaires should help to maintain law and order without taking the law into their own hands" The Legion must be neutral in industrial disputes. When deputized as citizens to help law officers, Legion members should not wear uni forms. They need not intrude to pro- tect civic rights, because there are reg nEar law enforcement agencies for that.
 Supporting e reasonable and adequate national defense, the Legion does not

Inconsistency of Guild Strike

Were it not pathetic, the inconsistency of the Newspaper Guild strike here Tn Waterbury with The Democrat would be ludicrous Tn one breath we find the Guild strikers asking for increased wages, shorter hours, etc. while in the next you witness them daily exhorting the public not to READ, not to BUY nor PATRON1zE The Democrat. If this is not biting the hand they expect later on to feed them, we certainly do not know inconsistency when we see 1t.
 For the sake of argument, what do these EIGHT members of The Democrats edi- torial staff expect to gain if they succeed in influencing the public not to BUY or not to READ The Democrat? News paper jobs are not growing on bushes these days of keen competition and mass production even in the newspaper busi- ness. The woods are full of unemployed newspapermen, which if you don't know can be furnished to the tune of nearly an application day In person, or writing.
 However, that is neither here nor there in the present impasse, which the mem- bers of the Waterbury Newspaper Guild and The Democrat finds themselves. Ger tain demands have been made which The Democrat honestly knows 1t cannot meet under present conditions. We have met Guild wage demands more than half way; hours and overtime similarly There arc other demands beyond reason which we cannot consider. So what? That we think is for you, the public to decide. If you like The Democrat continue READ ING and BUYING 1t. Let its personal troubles be ironed out among ourselves and the proper authorities, which is ask ing no more or no less if you were in similar circumstances, namely privacy n negotiating private affairs.

Merit system classiAcations are raising ruck with the forest fire fighting system. Fighting fires in our forests has come to be quite regulated job of recent years. There are quite number of district and deputy distric fire wardens throughout Connecticut and a recent interpretation enoves e wog nroSst ap of these sese ployes taking part in local politics. You might say tEat this is only proper. But is 1t? These fire wardens get $10 year from the state In one instance and 60 cents an hour for actual fire fighting in the other. That's not a full time job. The majority of them are town off1cials-con- stables, selectmen, and the like. If forced to choose they will take the more lucra- tive town position and drop the state. Which will just naturally disrupt the fire fighting force of the State Park and For- est Department.

has separated Miss Egan from the Democratic ranks more seVerly than ono can imagine. She aligned with Culhane because he tried to secure a pension for her but all he could do was try. DOES DORA E0AN DESERVE A PENSION7 Tho voters don't think 50 and If this question were put before them they would get an emphatic NO for an answer. As business man, Mayor Hayes hes been more successful than his opponent, MT. Culhane. If ono cares to look at the records of the two candidates you can sec the differ enee with out using Q inagnifying glass. l do not wish to compare them myself because, in my opinion, that would Do back-handing MT. Culhane.
 The Democrats and Republicans know that the Italian vote b Q deciding factor in any campaign In this locality. On this topic I'd like to compare Mir. Barherl with any Of the true Democrats.
 Tho history Of Dominic Barberi Is An interesting one. He B a business man, well known to the Italians. But tho business he's en. gagged in today is quite different than his vocation Of years ago. He was c barber by trade and switched to his present business some time ago. Since then he's not only earn cd his bread and butter, he now has toasted bread with butter and extra ratjons to boot. MT. Barberi iS e smart businessman, in fact, think he's too smart. He doesn't need any political job unless he wants to join tho. classes of the Vanderbilts and Rockefollers. Angelo Nardona. the present city sheriff, Is well capable at his job and has more use for tho job than Barberi. who is run- ming for city sheriff on the Repub- lican ticket. Don't overlook the fact that the appointment Of Angelo Nardona aS city sheriff caused Dominic Barberi to join Culhane as c renegade. Compare Barberi with Charles eciullo7 I'd should say not There hasn't been another politician of Italian extraction who has been loyal to his party as well as his nationality. As for friends you can have your guess. It's not proper to bring Judge Edward MaScolo in this entangloment because he's 6 man of c few words and those few words are enough to keep him on top of the favorable list. Tho reason l mention Judge MaScolo is because le was instrumental in the appoint ment of City Sheriff Angelo Nar- dona. l need not praise him be- cause every noble American citizen so well as his fellow Italians know of his sincerity, honesty and cxcel- lent Judgement. Judge is well liked amongst Republicans as well as Democrats and in my opinion is the best liked Italian in City Hall and throughout the city. Compare him with Barberi? Take your pick.
 Just imagine what would happen if the Insurgents" were elected. We wouldn't have any sidewalk in- Spectors, as 1t is being charged, but we'd have cigar smokers chewing the ends of cigars while walking the corridors of the City Hall. spi- toons would have to be larger and cared for more often. Another thing I want to get of my mind is the fact that William Pape, a good Re- publican if there ever was one, didn't even put up fuss when the renegades invaded the Republican party. His fighting spirit now seems to be part of the past.

"Lone Wolf's" Career As 6 Nation.Builder

Out of the fabulous Forties rose William Walker, 0 sparse little Ten- neSSean who saw a destiny for his nation and set out to win 1t Single- handed. Lawrence Greene, who did 90 nobly with America Goes to Press" recreates the career of Wil- liam Walker in "The Filibuster'' (Bobbs Merrill $3.b0).
 Perhaps American history has produced no better copy of c little Napoleon than Walker, In his youth he was regarded as effen- mate. Later, in five crowded, dra- matic years he ordered the execu- ton of at least c dozen men. Walk CT possessed c magnetism that drew men to him. Yet hc had few friends, was physically weak, and weighed less than 100 pounds. 4e became, before he was 90, c doctor, lawyer, and journalist.

But failure, dis mai failure, invariably caught Up with this paradoxical soldier of for- tune and at last he went down be- fore e firing squad on Honduran beach one September day in 1860.
 Biographer Lawrence Greene has made the most of this chapter in American history: almost made too much of 1t, one feels. For despite the swift dramatic movement of this adventurer's life, MT.

Yet, in any event. here is a rnasterful biogra- phy and one of the saltiest offer. ings of the year.-P. c. F.. ,

SEES CIGAR SMOKERS LITTER ING CITY HALL WITH
 DEAD BUTTS"

Editor, Waterbury Democrat;
 It has been and always will be, as 1t was in the past, Q slang -sling- nig municipal campaign for the "honor" of being mayor of this great Brass City. First may call your attention to tho fact that George Culhane or Domenic Barberl are not expertly qualified, not poli- ticly but honestly in 6 citizens view point.
 The real Republicans, emitting Upson and his Side-kickS, know that Culhane'S chances of becoming mayor are very slim because he's not expertly qualified to Do mayor of this city. HIS record ct Hartford, aS State Senator, isn't anything for MT. Culhane to brag about. MT. Culhano tried in vain to secure Q pension for Miss Dora Egan and would have succeeded had 1t not been for our noble Mayor, Frank Hayes. This fact, without doubt,

seek "to plunge our nation into the armament race" It favors world peace because Legionnaires "know more about war and want less of it than any other body of our citizenry." It aims to avoid war by the rational method of getting at the social and economic causes of war, studying world resources and working out some rational plan to supply distress ed nations with the things they need There is more true patriotism in such talk than in much hag-waving.

We still like to argue. We haven't had Indian Summer over the weekend. The welcome warmth that the end of last week brought was merely seasonal. We should have had more of it this month by all the forecasts Maybe we'll get our warm weather in October and therell be no Indian Summer at all. In that case the forecast in last weeks Democrat for a long and hard winter might come true. We are sceptical, though.
