He has been doing some dig ging in New Haven for the past few days and he has what he thinks is pretty good evidence that the corrupt practices act was trampled on in this university town Fox isn't giving away his hand by long shot He is after some of the big political game in the town and some of the small ones too He would like very much, though, to bag the big lads, and he believes to-day that he has evidence sufficient to warrant 8 judge of the superior court to order the session of an election court. The evidence which Fox has in his possession doesn't altogether concern recent elec- ton incidents that may or may not be suggestive of political corruption, some of t goes back to the republican state convention, and involves cX- penditures for drinks. and cigars prior to and during the sessions of that convention.
 Afraid of the Politicians.
 Two or three prominent New Haven 1 lawyers have been consulted about looking after the prosecution of al- legged yiolators of the corrupt prac- tices act should an election court be granted one lawyer, recognizing the fact that he might have a pretty hard time getting law business in New Haven after he had once started in to prosecute alleged yiolators of the cor- rupt practices act, political leaders as well as the small fry politicians, told l FoN it is said, that if he Nhe laWyer) had $50.000 in his wifc's name in the bank, he would take off his coat and start to prosecute all polltl- cal offenders, He realized that he 1 would forever afterwards enjoy the ! political cnmity of every prominent | party man, once he started to prose cute mon guilty of violating the cor rupt practices act.

Lookin' blue is mighty mean,
Though somebody's got lien

To be afflicted with your grOan,
They have troubles of their own.
Lookin' blue keeps sunshine out,
Dwarfs your life from inside out,
Never helped mankind a bit,
Don't you think you better quit?
Give your better self place,
Show the world a smilin' face;
Then you soon will feel it too,
That the world has smiles for you.
LoOkin' blue won't help you higher,
Lookin' blue will not inspire,
