The Ralph “dine-Smith Dispute.
(Waterbury Republican-ii)
No doubt. there has been an in-
crease in the number of insane pa~
ticnts the department of ‘ charities
has to handle but we doubt if this
increase is much out of proportion
to the increase in the population.

fact that Waterbury is wide open.

are much fewer here than they used
to be.

Saloon league points out. that loss

insanity patients are admitted now
as were admitted before prohibition.
A Snner Bill “'nnted.
(Meriden Journal.)
The Wheeler“ bill is dead and will
not probably come up in another
form at this session. which may or
may not be a good thing. If an in-
forcement measure is produ’ced‘that
is as drastic as the one that has
just been killed then it would be
eliminated as quickly as was the
original measure. It on the other
hand a. senor bill could be enacted
it might help bring Connecticut to
a. stronger effort at enforcement.
even though there is little hope of
complete enforcement ever being ac-
complished under the present con-
ditions. An act that produced bet-
ter co-operatlon between federal‘and
haps more drastic punishment for
violators. might aid. but certainly
nothing as harsh as that Wheeler
bill would accomplish anlhing but

here.
It. Was on Saturday. July 10. 1779
that the land again saw stirring
times. With his force of Tories.
General William Tryon brought the
torch to Norwalk . Born in Ireland
in 1725. this mm. whose action is
so often spoken of in Norwalk's
histories. had been Governor of
North Carolina from 176541. Fol-
lowing this he spent 7 years as
Governor of New York State, dur-
ing which time he prmly suppress-
ed what was known as the "Regul-
ator's Revolt."
Firm. and loyal to his own cause,
one authority says of this man: g7
“Like litany other pro-Reveill-
tionory times brought tragedy to
lured by American writers as a law
rant. In reality, however. he seems
to have been tactful. and consider-
ate. gnd on articlent administrator."
However, “lat-ital and consider-
ato" his nature may have been. his
soldiers were less so. Ills force oc~
cupicrl Norwalk. and after several
slight skirmishes, the torch was ap-
plied to many of the buildings.
The Mathews estate did not cs-
capo inc» tramp of feet of the rod-
coat and tory. fl‘he red house of
the revolutionary conspirators es-
caped. but". as in so many cases. the
innocent suffered. and the Benedict
homestead was set to the torch.
When morning come. what is now
a neat. driveway. was '0. patch of
smoking ashes. with only an erect
stoncchim‘ney to mark the site.
The "considerate“ general is re-
puted to have watched the burning
from the'hiil near Morgan arcnue
on East avenue. _ ‘ ‘
As was the spirit of these hardy
times. though; the Benedict family
were soon at work, and around the

Germany is practically what llap‘
pened when the Labor government
in England was overwhelminglysle-
tested when the LaFoilette insur-
rection was snowed under here. and
what is apparently happening in
France with the demise of the Her-
riot government. The mic influence
has been seen at Geneva. in the.
councils or‘the League of Nations.
It is toierably wellfimown that
much German corporation financing
has been awaiting here the re t of
the German presidential election.
Some people have been rash enough
to any that these proposals‘would be
abandoned with the election of Hin—

men of 78. who will be 85 before his
term of ofllce expires. to bring back
the kaiser or to rc-cstablisb Prus-

states of Germany. There will be a
natural disposition to regard Presi-
dent Hindenburg as being still
something in the way of a. wooden
image with silver nailsidriven in_ it.
Those who see a little deeper may
well feel that. the evidence of sta-
bility in Germany makes the new
president an asset rather than a
liability.
