Why Vote?

In the recent presidential election in
Chile, it is said, about half million citi-
zens voted The report does not state
what proportion this is of all eligible
voters, but it probably is high. At any
rate, Chile imposes penalties for not vot-
ing, including publication of the names
of dodgers of this civic duty, and fines OF
100 pesos or about S.
Perhaps this is the way to get out the
electorate We haven't tried anything
like it here, but have conducted strenu-
Gus educational campaigns in recent years
to persuade citizens that exercise of this
right and duty is essential to good govern
ment. The total number of voters has
increased greatly since the World War,
rising from more than 10000 in 1915
to more than 100000 in 1885. Only
a part of this increase is accounted for
by the REIMBURSEMENT of women.
In many sections this year unusually
heavy registration of voters has occurred,
indicating greater interest in various
local election issues than appears on the
surface. A large vote does not neceSsar-
lily guarantee wise one, but 1t ap-
proaches true expression of the will of
the majority. Participation of all citi-
zens in their government is the ideal of
democracy, which can work only when
the electorate is alert, interested and
prompt to do its part on election day.

Minor Courts Again

One shining light in the crown over
Governor Wilbur l.. Cross head Is the
fact that he has steadfastly throughout
his public career endorsed the theory
that minor courts should be removed
completely from politics. From the very
beginning he was believer in this change
in judicial court reform for Connecticut
and did all that he possibly could, with his
limited powers, to bring about such a
change. Legislative opposition, how
ever. was the stumbling block and still
remains so, what with political leaders
of all parties agreed changes should be
made.
The trouble really began when Re
publican Legislature tossed out the olS-
trict court bill with the frank explana-
tion that party patronage would be dls-
rupted if the minor courts were removed
from politics. 1t is unfortunate that the
Democrats were never able to gain con-
troll of the Legislature, for the issue would
have been put up squarely before them,
too. AS it was, divided Assembly was
lust as bad as one controlled by the
Republicans, so far as producing results
in the nature of minor court reform.
buC we Ie WAllAS w WoSCA CAA~U AAo
matter how lines are drawn in the Cen
eral Assembly next January when it con-
venes there will be more than strenu-
GUS effort made to bring about ultimate
solution of the minor court problem. 1t
may not resolve itself into the district
court measure, as was originally proposed.
But we don't think it will be either the
substitute that nearly won through in
the last session of the Legislature and
which was but weak substitute for the
original bill. In fact, 1899 should be a
good wear for passage of bills of con-
troversial nature which have failed in
the last few years.

nents in order to arr -e for his own civic
virtue, which Is yet untried.
He has done more harm to the Repub-
lican cause, generally, than a score of
intelligent speeches can undo. People in
Connecticut are proud of their UNIVERSE
ties and schools and assume that their
presidents and educational leaders are
dignifed and self-controlled. It is a
shock to be disillusioned in the manner
that DR.. McConaughy has pictured and
conducted himself.
Not only his own prestige, but that Of
his fine school has suffered for his blat-
ancy and undignified political decorum.
It was unnecessary and unavailing.

Judge of Probate

That was a scholarly and understand
ing description of the Probate Court, its
functions and it's Importance, which At
torney Patrick Healey, the Democratic
candidate, gave in recent radio talk.
It prompts us to issue a warning that
here is probably as important an office
as Waterbury voters will be called upon
to fill in the election and its Importance
to all of us must not be allowed to be
overshadowed by those who are cam
paigning on state and national issues.
The Probate Court touches all of us at
one time or another in times of trouble
and anxiety. It demands the maturity,
sympathy, experience, ability, and char
acter of just such a man as Attorney
Healey whose fifty-one years of life in his
native city are an open book with story
of character, industry, and reliability.
Such a dignified campaign as he has
conducted, explaining this important
court and frankly and humbly listing his
qualifications, Which, are all and more than
he sets forth, is in keeping with the dig
nifty of this high office.
We feel certain that, like Judge Slavin
before him, he will be the natural choice,
regardless of party, of an overwhelming
majority of the people of this district who
can well be proud of local self-made
man Of his attainmentS.

It is entirely fitting, we think, that the
one tree to be dedicated tomorrow at
Constitution Grove at the Boy Scout
Camp in Plymouth should be in memory
of the late Arthur D. Marston, former
Scout executive in this city. Not too much
has been heard by the general public of
the progress being made at this new
Scout camp site and the occasion, refer
ences to it which we note are welcome
indeed. Constitution Grove will ulti-
mately include some 100 trees, all of them
dedicated to the memory of some per-
son or organization. The public is going
to find the new Scout camp much to its
liking when it has finally been put into
shape for occupancy and use by the
Scouts of this district. It is ideally
located and the development of the camp
is being made along such lines as are
best suited to make it suitable for every
type Of activity in which the Scouting
program is apt to engage. We sincerely
trust that Waterbury will keep interested
in it's Boy Scouts, their programs, and
certainly their dandy new camp site.

The school situation in Dayton, Ohio,
needs considerable studying before it can
really be applied to the situation here
in Waterbury, where drastic economies
have been ordered in the school depart
ment by Griffenhagen and Associates.
Even the fact that Dayton has the City
does not explain everything, although it
does indicate clearly that in instances
this system is not proof against condi-
tions. Hard times seem to be blamed
for Dayton's serious situation. Even so,
it would seem, from brief study of the
situation, that the schools could be kept
open. we read that funds will be avail
able ultimately to defray costs. If so,
there is no need for any concern save
financing over lean period.

SENATOR LONERGAN ON I'M.
PORTANT CONGRESSIONAL
COMMITTEES
Editor, waterbury Democrat:

Editor, Waterbury Democrat:
Before voting next Tuesday
every citizen of Connecticut should
consider the important committee
assignments held by Senator Lon
ergan. The work of congress is done
by committees. This state Is signally
honored by having its senior SEN
ator on the committee on finance,
the most important committee
in the whole congress. Senator
Lonergan's position on this COM
mittee enables him to be Of great
assistance to business men, large and
small, as well as to taxpayers gen.
orally.
Senator Lonergan ranks high on
the committee on interstate COM
merce, which handles all railway,
radio and airline legislation.
Upon his return to the senate, Mr..
L,onergan will become chairman of
the important pensions committee
Veterans of all wars, their widows
and dependents are vitality inter-
ested in the work Of this committee
on which Senator zonergan has
ably served both in the senate and
the house.
Mr.. Lonergan is one of five men,
bers of the important steering COM
n1ittee, which confers with the pres
ident on all pen6ing measures,
places them on the calendar for
voting and attends to their passage.
It would be impossible for any
new member Of the senate to get
such committee assignments. 1t is
to the advantage Of every citizen of
this state to return Mr.. Lonergan to
the senate next Tuesday.
