Quigley, | Followers who threatens to become new politi- cal boss of the city, assert that he is out to remove the town the thumb of J. Henry Roraback, of | New Canaan, whose sway in state re- supreme from under publican ecircles has been for some time. His method of pro- cedure will be through the elimina- tlon of Judge George Klett central committeeman unless that in- dividual against J. Henry for chairman of the state com- | mittee, it is sald, and it looks as if the ex-Mayor has the power over the New Britaln delegation to have his way as as the city is concerned, at least John T. King, of Bridge- port, will be the choice of the local delegation, and it will be seen to, at the price of the local state commit- as state consents to vote far teeman’s job, that King is voted for. Estrangement between Quigley and town committee It is felt in pro- com- the local republican has been no secret.

Quigley as far cle here he might have cast with the Roraback faction in the belief that no power on earth could upset the rgpublican majority here, the local officials have felt that there was in attempting to pacify Quigley or to listen his Mr. Quigley not easily pacified, however, he is ambitious to & marked degree and a man with great ambition has no place in the| orderly routine of politics here. Judge Klett will find himself in a pecullar predicament if all that is| sald is true. He has been, it is be- | lleved, a devout heliever in Mr. Rora- back and his loyalty to his leader will no use to wishes. is make it difficult for him to obey thp; edicts of the local delegates to the convention and vote for another can- didate for the leadership of the state committee. He has an obligation to fulfill, we suppose, even though it is merely the obligation of lovalty.

Foster| alleged radical, president of the Trades Union Indus- _trial League, leader of the steel strike “of 1919, and thought to be one of those who would seize industry and make the United States into another Russia has at last been taken into custody by the very forces of law and . erder which he presumably condemns. * He denies having had any part in the “eonvention of radicals which was held yecently, it is supposed that authori- fles have the proof that gives the lie to his denials. Washington secret serv- “fce authorities assert the convention was one of a number destined to eventually bring about the downfall of eapital and industry through a num- . ber of radical organizations, extend- . ng even into the Army and Navy. i Foster had evidently given up his g{q rposé of working for destruction ough the misleading of labor or. 3 nizations. The chances are that | unionism has seen his purpose and ejected him from fts midst, This, of it does not have 18 conjecture but that labor would course seem union be within its ranks, He would be un- gained as soon as his true colors were evident, or our impression of the vast body o# unionism s Incorrect Temporarily an extreme radical might galn semeé power in union bediea but his authority would be limited as soon as {t was felt hy the federation, un- doubtedly, The greater part of union labor, naturally striving for the ad- | vaneement of unionism, Is patriotic enough not to wish radical ideas put into effect What will eventually be proven against Foster remains to be seén | Judging from semi-official utterances from Washington and Chicago, where a raid headquarters was made, there is enough to suspect him with | reason of disloyalty and possibly trea- It is impossible to conceive of being suspected of these of- fenses unless there is good grounda for the bellef, If there are grounds the United States is no place for Foster, he belongs in Russia where he may practice his self-expression doc- trine to his heart's content, and get his head cut off if he does not comply with the ideas of self-expression prac- tised by those in power, If the charges hinted at are proven Foster will join some of his contempor- aries in the land of free thought, free love and confusion in all probability. If he has a large number of followers as radical as himself they should be carefully weeded out and sent along to aid him in the fight “over there.” If Russia debars the gifts from our shores as undesirable aliens then it might prove a profitable venture for the United States to purchase a nice little island, somewhere and establish a colony of free-thinkers to set up a kingdom, beg pardon, a gang organi- zation, of their own. Then we should see whether fruit would come of the thoughts of these pioneers of humani- ty, whether they could build up a rich and powerful country to live in, rather than destroying one which others have built. on son a man REDUCING THE CHARITY FORCE The implication of the mending of the times that is carried in the sug- gestion by the board of charities that | the services of an assistant investiga- tor and a clerk in the department may be dispensed with within a short time is welcome news to most people. The work of the individuals that are to be let go was acceptable while gt was necessary, undoubtedly, but there is no further reason for carrying an extra clerk and an extra person to in- | vestigate cases of those who apply for | help, so much lessened is the number of those applications. At a time when money is hard to get and employment is scarce the Charity Board expense must mount up. Assistants must be hired to take care of the applicants for aid, clerks must help in the mak- | ing of records of stuff taken from the | stockrooms and of money given, As depression increases charity costs in- crease. The reverse i{s obviously true, As soon as people may money to put bread in their mouths and food on their backs, they spend it willingly and allow the board to rest. All of us anxiously await a time there will be jobs for all who have the ability to work, when there will be less financial gloom in the atmosphere and anxiofisly scan the signs of the ditions. We have been told that good times are coming in this city. We now | of that fact 2,500 FOR RAISING THE DEAD We can sympathize with the be- reaved ones that will go to every ex- treme to get life of some dear one, departed, but it is beyond our conception how a per- son who claims that he can inject breath and spirit into a lifeless body can earn a living by such a practice, And yet there is at least one person who has done just that, if allegations “Dr.” Al- bert J.

The accident to a machine being driven, it is alleged, at a high rate of speed by W. M. Wood, Jr, recently, Wood and his companion being killed, was a spectacular one. Other mishaps of a like nature cause us to stop for a moment and wonder what will be the accident list when there are double the number of machines. It is stated that one person was | killed in a motor accident every forty- two minutes, day and night, during the past year, 12,500 being the total number. The injured ran well toward second to two Thundred thousand, more than the wounded of the United States in the World War. The hazard is growing, there were 4 more crashes in 1921 than in 1020, despite a greater number of laws to safeguard life and an attempt to see these laws lived up to. Laws will not accomplish the re- sult toward which we are all work- ing, the minimizing of accidents, use of the brain, thoughtful driving will Even though we have no regard for our own lives, we are willing to take a chance with our lives in a speeding machine we should have some consid- eration for the other users of the road.
