A number Of Republican campaigners
in this present election contest have gone
into the FRAY with little or no regard for
their past records. Having been desig-
mated to run for public office, they must
presume that the very acceptance o! TINS
responsibility has washed away their past
lives. It's bit unfortunate but the past
has habit Of rising up and shifting them
right In the face. This has happened IN
particular to the COP. candidate for
governor, Raymond E. Baldwin.
He has been persistent In his attack
ON state officials and has announced
himself for various forms OF liberal leg
islation. One OF his earliest declarations
was that he would fight to prevent legis-
lators securing state appointments we
agree with him that this should be done.
Legislators should not have corner on
state appointments, even though tney may
be more familiar with the Workings OF
our state government and many times are
better qualified to hold down the jog
than the average layman. The primer
pie Of reserving appointments for legisla-
tors only Is bad.
However. Candidate Baldwin profiteo
bv such ideas under Republican govern
r1ient. He was both legislator ana a
tlidge. When he was a legislator ne
mould have at least voiced some ooJec-
ton to dual offices in government, ior
the practice was just as notorious when
Republicans ruled the roost as 1t Is now
that the Democrats are In ascendancy.
on other questions, too, Mr.. Baldwin lays
himself open to question. particularly
when his record In the Legislature Is
revealed and he Is shown as q steaay
opponent Of legislation OF liberal nature
ana which has since been effected, mainly
through Democratic insistence and
leadership.
We can understand change Of mind
ant Mr., Baldwin has never admitted that
he was wrong nor that his legislative
career was marked by mistakes. HIS Is
campaign would be all the stronger II
he had. But his demands for the very
things that he countenanced, IN TACT en-
dorsed, proves conclusiyely that c he Goes

solicits,

Dr.. Alonzo G. Grace, Connecticuts new
Commissioner OF Education, may call for
q startling change In our school system
that will, we feel pretty sure, rumble for
many years to come. DR.. Grace Is OPP
posed to homework for children. Now
as we recall It homework Is as time
honored as most institutions whose roots
60 back to the pioneer days Of the nation.
We rather imagine that all grown-ups
from the age Of 80 on down the line were
educated along the same line of home
work every night of the school year, so
that lessons might be recited with prompt
ness and knowledge the following day.
However, all that Is not In accord with
modern methods Of educating the child
and we don't doubt but our fair state may
keep In line with the trend. But II home
work Is abandoned completely in our
schools 1t will be accompanied by paren-
tai objections, in many cases, loud pro.
tests, faint praise, and complexity OF
opinions. Dr. Grace sees harm In home
work and sees a need for education today
to produce quality not quantity.

sixth of the population Of Italy will be IN
uniform. That will mean about one per-
son per family. The total number of uni

DR.. Howard Fablng Of the physiological
laboratory OF the University OF Cincln-
natl thinks that the green and red trafiic
light, with It's sudden changes, gives driv-
,ers the filters and so increases tratiic
danger. He would replace these signals
with q new type already In use in Zurich,
Switzerland, and the Red Square IN
Moscow.
It is q dial face divided into three sec
tons, red, green and amber. A hand.
large enough to be readily seen, moves
across these sections as the hands move
on a clocks face. The driver, or pedeS.
trian, Is able to watch the progress OF
the hand and knows exactly how soon
the green will change to amber and the
amber to red. Adjustments of speed can
then be made promptly and safely with
out fraying human nerves,
1t sounds sensible yet it should be re-
membered that temperament as much as
the lights themselves causes traffic trou-
BILE. The driver who Is impatient on the
caution" light now may be just as i'm
patient with the dial. It Is well to improve
the signals and devices which direct
drivers along the streets, but such Inn
provement should not lull anyone into
the belief that the Job Is then done. The
human factor In safe or unsafe traffic
needs training and testing and persist
ent education In good driving habits. It
must be admitted, however, that the red
and-green combination without the IN
termediate caution light Is dangerous and
unfair to drivers.

that should have been done two years
ago. 1t will make survey of the state
to find out how many dams we have.
Pertinent facts about these dams will be
ascertained, such as when they were built,
material used, and present condition.
This was recommended after the 1886
flood, but was never done. AS result
many earthen and small wooden dams
went out in September, endangering
lives and property. The state should
exercise more control over dams built

(By Sylvia Tyron in Berlin, N. H., Reporter)
Boston Post ReprinD
From lilac-time to pumpkin-time,
The old gray farmhouse thrills
The children gaily tread once more
The worn-down granite stills.
When the purple blooms by the old cracked door
Are drenched by spring-time rain.
The old house longs to feel the stress
OF the children's feet again.
When the mellow golden pumpkin piles
Heap round the sunny door.
The gray house sghs-the winter-time
Brings silent SHOWS once more
From pumpkin-time 10 lilac-time
The farmhouse waits TO hear
The golden note Of the oriole.
When the Hlac-blooms appear.

Editor, Waterbury Democrat:
The Independent Democrats who

were elected as delegates were neg.
iigent as citizens and disloyal 70
their duty and 10 the Independents
they were supposed TO represent.
They could also use q little school,

and conventions and until they get
It they should not accept iiofnina-
ton on any political set-up or

For my part I think the IndepM-
dents got o pretty good deal from
the local Democratic harmony com"
mittee when you consider that the
total Independent vote was ABOUT
5000 in the first election, 5000 N
the second OF about one-eighth and
one-fifth Of the total Democratic
vote In Waterbury. They certainly
got bigger representations on con-
vention tickets and got one senator
and one representative out Of TWO
or SO per cent. Both sides, the reg
ulars and independents, must make
concessions. II they are going TO get
together for real harmony and 70
rebuild O strong party dedicated to
good government.
Neither side can hope to have
everything and the present $3.50
set-up seems very fair. Those who
won't 60 along on such fair basis
must have their own axes to grind
and are not very reasonable. They
also lay themselves open to suspi-
cion that they are playing ball with
