Hamilton Of Saltwater, sonetime:
called Wildcat Bill, was a UniteC

finally Bill got after the guilty parties

When Bill arrived in town with his
Indian he called on Howey and me
to help take care Of him. But you
see we had no jail here then. Well
on the night of the day Bill and his
prisoner arrived there was some kind
of show going on. We all wanted
to go but we didn't know what to do
with the Indian.
Finally Bill said, We win take him
along with u.s. which we agreed to
do Neither Bill nor the Indian had
ever seen a show before.
We'll, we went up to the han and
got seats in the gallery, the Indian

whole company was killed off before
the show was over.

Suddenly he made a Jump from
the seat, and before Bill and could
stop him THAT Indian had jumped
clean through window nearby and
out onto a sort of platform. He got
down to the ground, stole q horse
somewhere and rode Is miles bare
back down the valley. There he stole a
saddle and went home again to his
friends in the tribe.
bill never caught him, but we
heard afterward that the Indian said
the reason he left was because he was
afraid Of being killed. He said the
white folks down in Helena were kill

end of a room, and the rest of the
people were sitting around laughing
at the performance.

When he got back to Chouteau county

The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-05-20

At the New York East Annual Con- ference of the Methodist Episcopal church this week resolution was passed con- demning among other things liquor advertisements in our newspapers and magazines. Part of the condemnation read. "Not only have the liquor dealers had little respect for truth in advertising, but also for the sensibili- ties of religious groups Whether it be Christmas, Lent or Easter, they have not hesitated to use these sacred sea- sons for the promotion of greater indul- gence in drinking. There is something unspeakably shocking about business which does not stop at making Christ's birth, passion and resurrection an occas- ion for the selling of that which debauches and destroys human personality. :" That's very fine sentiment, but we're Skeptical. Liquor manufacturers and dealers have been conscious of the need of tempering their advertisements by the pull on the purse-strings and also public opinion. In the last year or so liquor ads have certainly been among the most colorful in our periodicals and certainly restrained in our newspapers

SEWAGE DISPOSAL PLANT (New Haven Journal-C Courier)

Doubtless conciliation win be found between the special views of residents affected by the new sew age disposal plans and the general welfare. Clearly that welfare is the paramount interest involved. We have waited long time for this plant-long enough, indeed, so that the state had to command us to go forward before we went. But now, having gone, we want the best and the most efficient sewage plant that modern science and 8 generous ap- propriation can provide. The com- munity as whole will naturally demand such steps as seem to guar antee that at reasonable cost.
 We are talking much of harbor improvement these days, and this is an aspect of 1t we should not oyer- look. Cleaning the harbor up is not to build warehouses or to dredge channels sufficing for deep-water traffic, sure enough; but the with drawal of the harbor from use as 8 kind of large scale open sewer is 8 step in civic advance whose i'm portance cannot for a moment be minimized. Whats more, this part of the general work of reclamat ton and rehabilitation is not now wait ing on federal officers and their sur- veys. It is in process, at hand, im- mediate-clear sign of communal forward march.

From the Jury to the Judge

Devastating in it's charges, so lar as rep,Jtations are concerned, bitter in it's language where city officials of Water bury. those who dealt with the city, are involved, the report of the Waterbury Grand Jury has been issued in it's first phases for public consideration.
 From the highest to the least, from mayor to city hall janitor, officials have been excoriated, condemned branded with the accusations of dishonesty. So much for the findings of the lnvestl- gating body which does not constitute the final findings in any of the matters reported.
 That the Waterbury Grand Jury, super vised by such a notable prosecutor as MT. Acorn, would make such a report was known at the inception of the proceed ings That it would include the mayor and other high officials could not be sur missed, nor can it quite be believed, even now.
 Astounding as the charges most cer- tainly are, elaborate as are the arraign- ments of those named in the allegations, it must remain a matter for proof in the last analysis In other words, one should not lose sight of the fact that the Extra ordinary Grand Jury, picked carefully from a list of citizens whose eligibility was the consideration of those most con- cerned with finding financial and politi- cal transactions irregular, does not pre- sent the last word in many of the matters to be elaborated in the court.
 The matter of either indictments or, as in the present situation, bench war rants, is possibly one phase of the pat tern which will be pieced into tangible form before the courts. Certainly, it is not the right of any to judge whether this report is accurate in all detail before those accused have had their day in court, as the saying goes.
 If, then, it appears some of the num- Der against whom charges have been made. should not so have been branded by the initial indictments of the investi- gating body, it will be enough for most citizens to feel that they withheld judg- nent until such proof or absolution was made This will be test of tolerance in the face of the accusations, indubitably. But it will be proper test for those who would rather believe the best, not the worst, of any of their associates and neighbors who are entitled to the Ameri- can prerogative of being adjudged inno- cent until they are proved otherwise.

A Bit of Scrimping

Governor Wilbur L. Cross has asked all state departments to cut expenses to minimum during the first quarter of the coming fiscal year. Everything will be pared save salaries. Not to be pessimis- tic it's possible that salaries, too, may eventually be included in the slashes that will be required to keep the states budget for the next fiscal year in balance. Gov ernor Cross was in conference with departmental heads this week and evil dently all agreed that the savings could be put into effect.
 The announcement a few days ago by Budget Director Benjamin P. Whitaker that a possible $5,00O,0OO deficit faced the state in 1938-39 is the worst thing that could happen to us and is reckoned on the worst attitude towards business in the coming months. AS we recently said the state has been agreeably sur prised on many occasions by having tax estimates considerably over-subscribed. We wouldn't be bit surprised to find this happening right here in Connecticut next fall and next winter when state income can be reckoned at the close of quarter and half years business.
 One thing that hasn't yet been taken into consideration is the fact that the Legislature conveneS next January. It may be able to play an important part in shaping the states destiny through the next fiscal year. And then again it could do a lot of damage. Much will depend to be sure on the outcome of the now-muddled political situation here in Connecticut. No one in either major political party knows quite where to turn, but by the end of summer when, possibly, the three-month trial period in economies is about over, the fall campaign will be on. We expect the state to see clearing ahead by election time.

Looked Bad in 1857, Too

It is pretty cold comfort, when you are feeling blue, to be told that other people have felt blue before and have got over it. But if you can be shown that these other people felt blue in exactly the same way you do, had the same reasons you have for thinking they would never feel any better, and yet somehow did win through to sunny optimism once more well, maybe that would help little.
 The publishing house of Harper and Brothers the other day dug up an editor ial from Harper's Weekly printed on October 10, 1857; and for one reason and another the thing makes especially in- teresting reading right now. Tt is a gloomy moment in history" lamented the editor in 1857 "Not for many years not in the lifetime of most men who read this has there been so much grave and deep apprehension; never has the future seemed so incalculable as at this time.
 "In our own country there is universal commercial proStration and panic, and thousands of our poorest fellOW-citizens are turned out against the approaching winter without employment and without the prospect of it.
 "In France the political cauldron seethes and bubbles with uncertainty; Russia hangs as usual, like cloud, dark and silent upon the horizon of Europe; while all the energies, resources and in- fluences of the British Empire are sorely tried, and are yet to be tried more sorely, in coping with the vast and deadly dis turbed relations in China"
 The editor went on at consider able length in this vein, and his conclu- sion was that times were parlous and that there was little hope in this world; but if he lived long enough he assuredly saw the storm clouds of 1857 dissipated. and came out into world wherein a man could be fairly satisfied with the present and decently hopeful about the future. The interesting thing about it, of course, is the fact that you would need to change only half dozen words or so in order to make that old Harper's Weekly screed perfectly timely for use today.
 Once again we live amid "grave and deep apprehension" Once again the future has "seemed incalculable." Once again we suffer from commercial pros- tration and panic" The French political cauldron is seething and bubbling again, Russia is still dark cloud, the British

NEW LONDON DAY

many years 1t owed no money on bonds and prided itself on its pay as you go" policy. The bond money is going for expansions in state in stitutionS, many of which are, be- yond all possible doubt, urgently needed. Even so, some of the cash to be spent at Connecticut State col- lege, the one time Storrs Agricul- tural school, probably need not have been spent. Money put into that in- stitution is primarily intended to build the school up as 8 general college, whereas confining 1t to an agricultural school would probably have served the purpose since there are 50 many private colleges here- abouts. %t
 It begins to appear that the state may be forced into the adoption of a state income tax, in other words, despite all its former boasts that 1t possessed no such thing, or a sales tax. The only alternative is to re- duce the amount spent on state de- partments drastically. Meanwhile, like most states, the requests for funds are likely to increase rather than shrink. It will take some mea- sure of courage and boldness to chop the allotments to state departments and attempt to balance the budget in that way. It could be done and 1t ought to be done, however, in view of the times. Connecticut, otherwise, will be well on the road to becoming just another state that consistently spends more than 1t can afford to, increases the burden of taxes to the intolerable point. and then wonders why it continues to face more and more demands that 1t cannot meet.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-05-20

The report of Dr. Benjamin P. Whitaker, state budget director, on the prospect of taxes and expendi- lures in the year 1889 for the state government, presents an alarming picture. The budget director has in- formed Governor Cross that it now looks as though the state would be asked to appropriate $27,50O,000 for 1899, but that it may be able to col lect in revenue only about $22,000,- 900. Obviously if balanced budget is to be attained the state must cut down on its expenditures or increase its revenue. The prospect of in- creased revenue under present taxes is uncertain unless business im- proves considerably. Increasing the revenue through new taxes would probably mean renewed drive for a state income tax, a state sales tax or a diversion of part of the motor vehicle tax money.
 Connecticut, in other words, like most other states, is far beyond its resources in a financial sense. It has already added 8 bond issue to its obligations - the first instance of this sort of spending in years. For
