Holds His Own

So much is said about the trend toward standardization, toward bigger units, to- ward cooperative effort, that one is apt to exaggerate the drift toward these things We get the idea that the individ- ual merchant, the single-store independ- ent. is being crowded out of the business picture entirely. It isn't true, according to a survey just completed for the TWen- tieth Century Fund, which concludes that nearly two-thirds of the total volume of retail sales is still handled through such stores. Establishments of that type have held their own in numbers since 1929, the survey found, and up to 1885 they were still 86 per cent of all the stores in the United States.
 The survey indicates that there were in 1885 about 1,600,000 retail stores, employ ing some 100000 people outside their proprietors. That is a Sizable block ot people engaged in distribution ot goods = with their families, they would repre- sent probably more than 20,O0O,OOO peo- ple. The dues-paying membership of the American Federation of Labor, for ln- stance, was recently estimated at $780, 900, thus making it group comparable in size.
 It is pretty certain that no other coun- b1y III L1AC WOA1O SebAA RASoSAAo w A~A0S group of proprietors of small individual businesses. In Russia, of course, they have been officially wiped out, and though there have been evidences of sporadic efforts to resume share in the distribu- tive scheme, these are ruthlessly sup pressed In Germany and Italy, recent decrees of the dictatorial governments are regarded as having signed the death knell of the small enterpriSer.
 It is only in America that this tremend- GUS field for individual enterprise has been left open, and it is only here that it has been abolt to maintain itself in the face of adverse business conditions, com petition from chain and centrally stores, the rise of the cooperative move ment, and other competitive situations.
 When the individual store has been able to maintain its position not only in the face of competition from other individual stores, but in the face of competition from other methods of distribution, like chains and cooperatives, it must mean that it is meeting a need and filling place. And so long as any institution can successfully do this, it need have no great fears for the future. It is the useful, in the long run, that survives.

their candidates stood so firmly last Oc- tober and early November.
 Those promises have been violated be- cause the same system of filling the minor courts, of the state remains in vogue. The same necessity is placed on incumbent officials of rushing to Hartford to protect their jobs. The same necessity is present for judges and prosecutors and clerks to admit Subservience to legislators, where as the two should really form two distinct branches of our government. It isn't fair to prolong this intolerable system any longer. Where does minor court reform begin, so that the judiciary may be ele- vated above the level of ward politics.
 There are too many fine men holding office in our judiciary to have their status lowered to that of any person who aspires to political appointment and is forced to run in circles to be assured of it. You really can't blame incumbents for seeking to protect their jobs when they are forced to do so. But those who con- trol the appointments can take blame and should not duck it now if it is aimed at them. Minor court reform has come to be regarded as joke in Connecticut. Why shouldn't it be when candidates for office promise solemnly to correct the situation and few months later traffic in appointments?

Police Commissioner Valentine and Fire Commissioner McElligott of New York City united in an appeal this week which is very timely right here in Wa terbury. Both urged citizens to cooper ate in preventing false fire alarms being registered The same thing applies to Waterbury or any large city where regu- larly we seem to go through siege of this funny" business. Some people get the idea that to send fire company on a wildgoose chase is lots of fun and just provides exercise for the men. As mat ter of fact it's an expensiveS bit of fun and in addition to costing the city and taxpayers money every time false alarm is registered, there is always the danger of an accident in which firemen or some body else may be injured or killed. Every citizen should consider it duty to turn in" false-alarm bugs.

Dr. Stephen J. Maher

Mourning for Dr. Stephen J. Maher, who died so suddenly yesterday morning, will not be confined to his native city nor to the State of Connecticut; it will be be universal. Dr. Maher was an inter- nationally known figure It was with deep appreciation of his splendid efforts in the field of tuberculosis that the Uni veISity of Notre Dame awarded him its Laetare medal several years back. Here in this state where he headed the State Tuberculosis Commission for many years we were always proud of pr. Maher.
 The average layman is ignorant of what Dr. Maher contributed to the field of medicine in it's treatment of the disease of tuberculosis. Nevertheless everyone of us realized that his entire life for great many years had been spent in seeking out ways and means whereby such treat ment might be given tuberculosis suf- ferers guaranteeing them return to normal lives. Several times he announced discoveries in his experiments that he believed should revolutionize tuberculosis treatment. No doubt he was disappointed when the profession failed to enthuSe as much as he did.
 Of recent years his work was con ducted as enthusiastically as his age and his interest in the State Tuberculosis Commission would permit. But of his laboratory work and continued experi- ments into prevention and treatment of the disease against which he fought so long and earnestly, the world has learned little. He did not die a martyr to the great. He lived to be 79 years old and a vast amount of good was accomplished in this life-Span. Proper recognition of his passing should be taken everywhere.

Views of The Press

That Is the measure which pro- vides for river and harbor improve ments, and, specifically for the flood control dikes along the Connecticut as well as the reservoirs on the northern tributaries of the river.
 It did not, however, require this amendment to permit construction of those works to proceed. They have been held up for other rea- sons, not because the. money was not available.
 The bill as reported by the Com- mittee provided for all the work the War Department contemplates at present. That covered by amend ments added to the measure would have been included in future War Department recommendations. It was unnecessary to vote the money now.
 It was particularly unfortunate to do 1t at a time when the nation is pleading for economy and when, supposedly in response to that plea, the Congress Is haggling with the President over amounts to be spent for relief.

Opinions Vary

In his weekly radio address Monday night Governor Raymond E. Bald win spoke about the number of new bus mess houses that were coming into Con- necticut. No one could fail to get the inn pression that all of these industries had decided to come to this state to operate after learning that Republicans had taken over the state government last January. Personally we'd like to have poll made of each and every one of these new business houses to ascertain, If poSSl- ble, just what reasons brought them to us. We think the causes would be many and varied.
 We don't think that businesses estab- fish branch plants or move from one state to another simply because there is a change in administration. That seems just a bit far-fetched, particularly in these hectic days when all business firms are more concerned with national legis- lation affecting their existence than with state laws. Still we're glad to see new business is coming to Connecticut and If it does prove consolation to Republicans after their rather miserable showing dur ing the legislative session, then we've no objections to their boaSting.
 Only one OCner pOlnC III the goVernOrS speech caught our attention. It was the part where he referred to the balanced budget. We sincerely hope he is right and that Connecticut's budget for the coming biennium is actually balanced and will remain so for another two years. How ever, there are doubts about it and good ones, too. Then, too, we might point out that to say the budget was balanced without "new taxes" isn't quite true. The liquor taxes were raised, but admittedly this isn't new tax. Tolls on highways were approved and this is new form of taxation which is going to help us build tremendous roads and bridges.

every problem that has arisen in connection with the royal visit: Do it the American way"
 In one respect, however, the President has departed from his own way of doing things. When he is on shipboard, he takes the seat of honor, which in the Navy code is the midway seat (not the. end), located on the side of the table which faces the door. He never sits with his back to the door. At the White House, how. ever, he will sit with his back to the door (on the oblique; the door is not directly behind hirn), the reason beeing that this gives him a short walk to his place. @

 Democracy
 MasterfuI accounting of the last
 decade in the United States IS
 America in Midpassage" by
 Charles A. and Mary R. Beard
 Macmillan: $3.50). While com
 plete in itself, the book is really
 a third volume to the "Rise of
 American Civilization" A portion
 of the Boards examination of
 democracy is given here.
 For at no time, at no place, in solemn convention assembled, through no chosen agents, had the American people officially proclaim ed the United States to be democ- racy. The Constitution did not con- tain the word or any word lending countenance to it, except possibly the mention of i've, the people" in the preamble. Nor, indeed, did the Constitution ever proclaim a re- public. It did guarantee a repub- lican form of government in the states, but as John Adams wrote to Mercy Warren, during their heated controversy over political aims. mo- body knew just what that meant :.
 Not until the United States en- tered the World War was the con- ception of the nation as democ- racy given something that looked like official sanction and general approval, if often in the form of lip-service only. Whatever may have been the real reason for opening the war on the German govern ment, President Wilson declared 1t to be a war for democracy, to make the world safe for democracy as against autocratic power. Could George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, and James Madi- son have witnessed the scene and heard the chorus they certainly would have been surprised to find their representative republic uni- versally and .vociferously hailed as a democracy.
 After the war was over objec- tions became more articulate and doubts were entertained. It took the great economic depres- sion. the domestic conflict. the rise of Hitler, and the consolidation of fascist force abroad, to arouse what appeared to be a fierce affec- tion for democracy. Yet few if any of the contemporary disputants took pains to define the term, democracy. in any comprehensive manner.
