1ERY RELATED CONTAMINATION.

So far as the Farmer knows. no one has ever attacked the personal char Hcter of Mayor Lee. but his official Judgment and action upon certain pub lic questions have been censured by many persons. and by this paper. Mayor Lees personal character does not need any endorsement from the Manufacturers' or any other associa- lion but no number of endorsements will suffice to vindicate his official record: that point was conclusively settled by the recent city election. The people voted upon that issue which was distinctly raised. and was even emphasized by the Mayor himself in his speech of acceptance And there . is high authority for adding, 'sThe peo- pie. when thoroughly awakened. are always right
 And now while divers and sundry organizations are batting Mayor Lees shoulders and commenting his able and honorable management Of city af- fairs. it may be in order to consider in what degree these identical organi- nations are responsible for his down fall in popularity. It was upon their judgment in probably large part that he perpetrated the ''harbor grab" and carn-barn blunders. and he naturally expected their support at the recent election Did they "meet and resolve previous to the election when such ac- ton might have influenced votes? Did they contribute. heavily or other wise. to his campaign fund? Did their members labor for his success on cleo ton day? Finally. did they unitedly vote for him?
 Or. did they, after having effected their purposes. drop his candidacy like the traditional 'shot potato" and remain quiescent until after his defeat and then come forward with condolences and with commendation of his able end honorable management of city affafrsv Is it not a fact that not all of the public service corporations contributed to his campaign fund and that when they realized the adverse trend of public sentiment they meas ureably .7afd down on" him as having survived alt usefulness to their cause; that none of the now-condoling organi- zations labored for his success at the polls. and that more or less of their members voted against him?
 And the lesson-what is it? It is that when their temporary purposes are accomplished. the corporate bene- ficfaries generally abandon the agency which has been used. and do so often with a showy show. of regret.

TO STYLE ALL
 (. N. G. CRITICISM
Adlutant Generals Office Issues Order
 That Creates Strict Gag Law.

That public discussions by local and other members of the Connecticut Ma tional Guard criticising the conduct of oihcers and general conditions during the agitation after last summers meuvers in the war game at Massa- chusetts have not gone by unnoticed oy the state military authorities. but those in command are determined to prevent such criticism of military mat ters or persons by men in the service. Is evident by an amendment to para graph No. 2O9 of the Regulations Con- necticut National Guard
 This amendment. which is announced 1utant generals office, dated November D, reads as follows:
 Deliberatio1s or discussions among military men conveying praise or cen sure or any mark of approbltion. tow ara others in the military service. and all publications relating to private or personal transactions between officers. are prohibited"
 This amen lment is considered by military men as direct outcome of the agitation after last summers man euvers which put in appearance first Tn local papers. and also extended to magazines. for most of which members Of the National Guard themselves were responsible. An article published in a New Haven newspaper criticising the officers of the Second regiment as well as the general management of the maneuvers as regarded food supply and the comforts of the men. which was written by a member of the reEi- rnent. was followed by the dismissal by the author of the article from the service.
 The same amendment also prohibits any suggestion for or influence of leg islations pertaining to military matters by members of the National Guard ex- cepting through "the regular" which later are defined as military chan nels-" This part of the amendment of paragraph 209 reads as follows:
 ITO prevent confusion in legislation and the conflict of interests within the service. which are prejudicial to ad- ministrative efficiency. such recom- mendations or suggestion for legisla- tion eS may seem desirable shall be uniformly presented to the adjutant his consideration.
 No person belonging to the Nation al Guard shall attempt to influence legislation in respect to the National Guard. without the express authority and endorsement of the adjutant gen. eral
 'AlI officers or enlisted men of the National Guard shall refrain from any attempt to influence legislation by sub hitting drafts or proposed bills. or by any arguments. recommendations. or otherwise except through military channels This prohibition shall be con- strued as applying to all bills whose import tends in any way to affect the administration. status or strength of the National Guard. or of any bureau
 '3The adoption of any other method by any officer or enlisted man will be considered a breach of military dis cipline.'"

"W0RST ELEMENT
 AND DEMAGOGUE''

Editor of the Farmer. Sir:-
 The statement appeared in a local paper as post-election comment by a local business man. ostensibly Re publican. to the effect that Ut seems that the demagogue who chooses de- iiberately to ally himself with the worst element in the community is more popular than the honest man."
 It seems to the writer that the in reviewers concepts of worst ele- ment'', honest man., and "dema- gogue", need revision,-indeed inver- sion.
 The WORST ELEMENT in the community is not the dark brown chaps, the poor unfortunates in the race of life. who are at least honest enough not to attempt concealment of their true nature who wrong them selves most and society least, but the apitalistic-robbers and their hirelings who pretend responsibility and enjoy the protection of the law and, sorry to say. society. These are in the bus iness of organized robbery. They dfc- tate the government. play with court judgments. and outrage and oppress about as they please, and hold them selves honest so long as they keep within the strict letter perhaps of a man-made code. imperfect at the best. a parody on divine government. They rob you and they rob me. they. rob us all, and would deny us the right under the constitution or equal opportunity to make the most of ourselves and to enjoy freely life. liberty and the pur- suit of happiness. They are the WORST ELEMENT in the commun- ity. The Other poor devils are com paratively harmless and at the most only scrape a bare existence. while the opposite class revel in filthy luxury.
 IAN HONEST MANI is one who conforms strictly to the golden rule. and is willing at all times to sacrifice himself that humanity at large may benefit. An honest man. in short. is one whor never compromises with him self. who is governed in every thought and word and deed by principle, not personal ambition or greed for gain. More briefly yet. one who fol- lows only and always the dictation Of conscience. No other in the strict sense can call himself. even in the eyes of the world. an honest man. It is one thing to be honest in ones own heart: quite a different thing to be honest only within the narrow margin of the law or convention
 "A DEMAGOGUE" is one who uses his powers of suasion to mislead and mfsguide the masses. He is not such if he merely tells them the truth fear lessly, without regard to effect on his own personal. immediate interests. or the opinion of his neighbors who may entertain different views Privilege, greed and graft ever and anon shriek 'demagoguel" at him who has cour- age enough to tell the plain truth about them. Let them rave.

SENATOR AnDR1oH,s SPEECH

Serator Aldrfch. chairman Of the National Monetary Commission, deliv- cred an address at Chicago. Saturday night. upon the problems before that body He stated that it would not be ready to report a revised currency system at the coming session of Con- gress. but would probably do so at it's third session.
 He had found that the matter was divided into two branches-first, with reference to obte issues and. second. with reference to thsH~tzation of credit or the requirements Of our banking system" He believes the latter to be the much more import ant"
 With regard to the former, he states that in other countries, with one ex- ception. it Is held that bank note issues should always be made under governmental control or at least sub ject to strict governmental restric- tions and limitations and that this can only be successfully done through one central and exclusive bank of issue"
 With regard to a credit system, he declares that 'ft would be impossible to establish any credit organization
 
 existing banks or whose resources or credit could be used for speculative purposes or that could possibly be dominated by the financial men or in stitutions in one section of the coun- try: and that 'it is of equal if not greater importance that any plan agreed upon should not have or be likely to acquire any partisan or polit- ical character or bias"; that it is not possible to adapt the branch bankin. systems of other countries to existing conditions here
 The speech seems to have been de- signed to abate the growing hostility of the national banks to the creation of a great central bank. which was foreshadowed in one of President Taft's recent addresses. Undoubtedly. they will be able. to read between the lines of the, Aidrich speech much of interest to them..

The plan of constructing a concrete house which can be cast in one oper- ation irside a set of molds to be used over and over again. at a cost of about one-third of the present figure, to which MT. Edison Is giving consider able attention. does not meet with the entire approval of Engineering News which says:
 Even granting that the main struc- tural clements of a house can be pour ed from a few openings in one opera tion-and that Is something few engi- neers with experience in concrete con- struction will concede-there is every reason now to believe that 1t will be practically Impossible to construct forms which can be placed and remov- ed at small labor and expense and which, at the same time can stand the hardships of usage long enough to re duce the first cost per house to the desired minimum.
 This authority does not. however deny that there are possibilities in cheap concrete dwelling construction but it does contend that possibilities are not yet actualities'' and that "the proposition is not yet beyond the ex- perimental. stage.

Residents of miserable seaport on the Persian gulf called their town Bu- shire (Boosheer). It has narrow. dirty. i'll paved streets. The city is visited by earthquakes and simooms and stints its children of wholesome air and fresh water. It appears, however. to have enjoyed high repute among the ancient Elamites, who have left buried about under moldering heaps bricks with cuneiform inscriptions In summer the citizens of Bushire live in heat that is almost unbearable.

According to American standards Mime. Steinheil who Is on trial for murder in Paris. is not as reputable woman. however her mode of life may conform to Parisian habits. but also according to American standards. the court procedure in her case is more than irregular-it is outrageous. For instance. on Friday, the prosecutor who had been virtually abusing the prisoner for days. answered one of her statements with a plain, You lie" One cannot imagine such an occur renee in an American court. It would seem that such procedure as has oc- cured in this case. does not tend to promote the cause of justice.

THE STOCK MARKET
Cwatson, AIpers & Co.)

We are not able to see any alarming or disturbing factor in the monetary future. Our local speculation is not active enough to put any strain on the banks. It holds a firm undertone and bullish sentiment Is kept up by special bull diversions in particular stocks. Perhaps we shall have to wait until the return of currency from the interior affords fuller bank reserves before broad operations in Wall Street become practicable. In the absence of accident it is reasonable to suppose that we shall gravitate toward that condition as the logical consequence of expanding industrial prosperity and in creasing railway earnings. the sequel of which is larger dividend payments and enhanced intrinsic. worth of prop erty- Having this prospect in view, there seems to be growing safety in purchases made on normal reactions and conducted conservatiyeiy with watchfulness regarding a possible ad- verse change in money matters.
