Alwaxs With us v the Needx

As a people, Americans are embarrass- ingly rich today. We are earning so much money that the government, which used to try to make taxation rest lightly on our shoulders, now is trying deliber- ately and frankly to get our money before we can spend it all.
 As individuals, never before have we been so burdened with weekly income. And yet, just around the corner, there are men and women and children who can not pay for food, for clothing, for passably decent shelter, for medicines and medical and dental services, for the barest essentials of existence
 There is work today for almost every body who is mentally and physically competent to work. But still there are men and women who have lost, If they ever possessed, the capacity to render useful services by which they can pro vide for their own simplest needs ana those of their children.
 The problem of the temporarily des- titue, the depression victims who are down but not out, has almost vanished with war unemployment. For hundreds of thousands, unfortunately, the depreS- sion never will end. That is why we nave GIlG NOllll1luI1AUy NA4CoU G uAAU' AAAesV is why the Fund appeals to you now to give, and give freely, in order that our local institutions may care for the un- fortunates of this community.
 During the depression years, when all most nobody had much money, we were generous in aid of those less fortunate than ourselves. Now, when most of us are better off than ever before, we must not forget those who have not been per- mitted to share in our good fortune. Yes, we know. The government is push ing the tax bill up into the sky. The Treasury, and patriotism, demand that you buy war bonds in ever increasing quantities. The cost of food is mount ing.
 But with all that, there still are few dollars that can be spared to help those So poor that they have no incomes on which to pay taxes, no wages, out of which to buy bonds, so little money that they couldn't buy enough food even when it was cheap. Once a year we are asked to chip in for the Community Chest. This is the once. We mustn't fail those who are depending upon our thoughtfulness.

The residents of Waterbury ought to be keenly interested in the Diocesan Labor Institute being established in this city with the Rev. Joseph F. Donnelly as its director. No more capable person could have been obtained for the responsibili- ties that go with job than Father Don- nelly. Those who have followed his weekly current comment column in The Democrat know him as zealouS ad- vocate of solid, Christian front for labor in the American industrial picture. lis has been trenchant pen when force and vigor were necessary to defend labor and its rights in the economic world. But just as eager has he been to point out where it may have erred or gone too far. How ever, Waterbury, always an industrial city, should take to this new labor in- stitute which offers to the working men and women the opportunity to educate themselves so that they may become spokesmen for, representatives of or ganized labor. It is splendid oppor- tunity and the scope of the school is such as to encourage participation in it by those interested and certainly encour- agement of it by all who want clearer picture of social justice.

Still Not Enough

The Aeronautical Chamber of Com merce's report on the magnitude of this country's unpublished air cargo pro oran is very pleasing. But let's not for 8et that we're still behind the eight-oall. Two things about the report should be ssoted. in view of the fact that, necessarily, k deals only in generalities.
 one is that the Chamber represents fhe old line plane builders who do not Unnk to see Henry Kaiser get a tootnoia |S fheir business. The other is that the
 rort came right on the heels of Donald <IsOn's experimental cargo plane oroer 6 Kaiser, and would seem to minimize ENs importance of Kaiser's potentialities:: 1|here may be more cargo planes built ana u,laine than the public knows. But /oerfs outside the industry concede that
 Nze aren't nearly enough.

But Vote

We don't know how many people of Connecticut, registered voters, heard the radio speech given by Mrs. Chase Going WoodhouSe, our Secretary of State, one night last week. It was very good speech and one that should have made an impression on the men and women who support good, representative forms of government. Mrs. Woodhouse is seek ing reelection this fall, but her remarks were not the type that too often are credited to the political candidate. In other words Mrs. Woodhouse, member of the Democratic Party because she be- lieveS its principles offer more advantages to the people, didn't wave the flag or de- nounce her opponents,
 She did, though, give a great many reasons why it is the duty of every regis tered voter to participate in the NoVen- Der election. She even went so far as to say that defeat was preferable in her own instance to victory achieved through participation of a very small minority of the registered electorate in the ballot ing. There are many candidates who take more selfish viewpoint of the election. It's good to listen to some now and then who believe and preach a gov- ernment of, by, and for men. As Mrs. WoOdhouse remarked: For law is only as good as the men and women who ad- minister it and the men and women ad- miniStering the laws are only as good as the level of interest in government on the part of the citizens ....
 Naturally Mrs. Woodhouse is urging tho election of the Democratic ticket here in Connecticut. She is a member of an administration which has done a con- structive job and which has never placed single stymie in the way of our all-out war effort If ever there was Victory Party in Connecticut it is that now in office. But it's endorsement at the polls on November 3, its return to public office matter little when compared to the duty that is ours as American citizen to get out and vote. Free men with privileges of voting any way they please. are ln duty-bound to exercise them.

House Is in Order

The report of the city's financial posi- tion for the first nine months of 1922 would seem to indicate that once again the regime of Mayor Vincent A. Scully has succeeded in adhering to its policy of living within it's budget. That has been characteristic of his efforts ever since he went into office. It is pretty good char acteriStic and one that indicates on his part and that of his official family de- sire to conduct our civic affairs for the best interest of all.
 On the basis of figures now obtalnable at the Controllers office it would seem as if another large surplus would nave resulted at the end of the fiscal year. To our way of thinking this, as much as anything else, would tend to urge city officials to consider seriously the advls- ability of general pay raises for all city employees. For year or more efforts have been made by various groups of employees to obtain salary increases. We doubt if such requests can be denied any longer
 The high cost of living is factor right now in most families, where none ot the bread Learners are caught up in the lnduS- trial swirl. There are still great many businesses which have not picked up as result of these boom days. You might really class the city government as one or these. But the classes of wage-earners III the city government are such as to require at this time a higher level than they presently enjoy. We believe the mayor and other city officials are aware of this and will do everything in their power 4o make the necessary changes. They certainly are encouraged to do so by the sitv's financial picture.

Bureau of Mines, recom- mended that sponge iron was feas- ible, whereas now that he is with the Battelle Institute, financed by the steel companies, he advises against sponge iron.
 FOOT DOCTORS
 Though the Army travels on Its feet much more than the Navy, it is giving much less attention to the question of foot doctors.
 The Navy's Surgeon General has commissioned a dozen foot doctors-but they're podiatrists. You mustn't make the mistake of calling Navy podiatrists chiropo- dists.
 Meanwhile the Army's Surgeon General, Major General J. c. Ma gee, won't take either. The name means nothing. They're all foot doctors to him. Quoting Shakes peare, he declares, "A rose by any other name would smell as sweet!"
 Meantime, the chiropodists arc trying to force Magee's hand by getting Congress to pass bill re- quiring that they be commission ed. They claim 600 chiropodists are already serving in the Army as non-coms. taking care of the feet of officers and their wives.
 Champion chiropodist William J. Stickel declares, 'If we are to be privateS, we should not be asked to practice chirOpOdy. If our spe- cial training is not to be recog- nized, we want to be put in the tank cOrps!"

Employment officials claim that crock bottom" has been struck in industrial Connecticut. It's hard to believe that when only few years ago relief rolls were bulging and communities were hard put to take care of the many needy cases being referred to them every day. It would be foolish for the average layman with only a scant conception of en- ployment problem to differ with the of- ficials If we are at the bottom of our list of employables then it's serious matter. It means that drafting of men and women for labor is just around the corner It means that great many of us will have to leave our present form of employment for the duration, SO that the war effort won't bog down.

Selected Poem
FROST FLOWERS

(By Avis Turner French in the Boston PosD The hardest frost of autumn came last night, The gardens bloom is over for year It fourished bravely, such gorgeous sight Of coorful array, now brown and sere. It seemed my heart for beauty dying cried. I thought why must this be, all things are so heeting hour and all of life denied,
 Like flowers, like youth like love, all things must
 go"
 The hardest frost of autumn, yet there
 Were just few wild asters by the gate. They seemed frail yet they had strength to dare Increasing frosts, to bloom so very late I would be like these sturdy flowers when old, Grown strong with faith to brave the deepning cold

Press Comment
POTATO CEILING

(Boston PoSt)
 Maine's Aroostook county is fac- ing 8 crisis that can well have devastating future effects on the food markets of large areas of the nation. Within the next 30 days Maine potato growers must move tens upon tons of their valuable crop to market or sec them freeze.
 Under the recent order of the OPA. the price ceiling on potatoes Is now established on the price prevailing on the Sept. 28-Oct. 2 period. normally the low price of potatoes in Maine.
 That sets the price below the cost of production. Maine's plea for equitable treatment in a readiust- ment here is certainly one to which oPA officials must give due consid- eration.

 How much the Japs know about this route is problematical. But unquestionably they know that you can't hop off from Chungking and arrive in Alaska without stop ping at & few intermediate air. ports. And since Willkie didn't stop at any Jap airports, the only others he could have used were Siberian.
 Disclosure of this new air route is more important than at first meets the eye. It indicates that the Russians may be preparing to listen to the argument U. s. of ficials long have given them. that the best means of beating Japan is by striking right at her heart, not at he rtoes in the South Pa cific.
 The Russians, however, have leaned over backwards against getting embroiled with the Japs, even interned one of Jimmy Doolittle's bOmbers after it raid- ed Tokyo. The Russians have not wanted U. S. planes to use Siberian bases, fearing that if we launched 8 bombing cam paign against Tokyo, we might get discouraged and "pull g Crete,' leaving the Russians to hold the bag.
 Now, however, 1t appears that the Russians have Siberian bases ready for use-when the time comes.
 But most significant possibility regarding this new Willkie route is its use for sending supplies quickly to China and Russia. At present 1t is no secret that planes to China go by a circuitous globe straddling route via Brazil, Africa, India, then over the Himalayas, highest mountains in the world,
