30,0O0 Pupils Will
 Cheer Mgr. Farley
Children of Parochial Schools to Take Part in Farewell When Pre'ate Departs For
 Rome

New York. Nov. 6.-When Arch bishop Farley departs for Rome on Tuesday, November fl, he will re- ceive an ovation such as was never accorded clergyman in this city be- fore. Last night directions went to every parochial school in the city to have all the older pupils in front of the Archbishop's house at eight o'clock that morning. There will be more than thirty thousand children on hand. Fifty thousand Papal and American flags have been ordered.
 The girls and boys will march down to the East River, accompanying the carriage which will take the Arch bishop to the steamboat that will convey him and his party to the Hamburg-American line pier in Ho- boken. Every priest of the diocese who can leave his duties will be on board the steamship, which probably will be the Rosedale. This will fol- low the Kronprinzessin Cecilie down to Sandy Hook. There will be a band on board.
 A civic celebration will take place when Cardinal Farley returns. It is planned to ask Mayor Gaynor to take part. The Catholic Club will give him reception.

Memorial Chapel for
 Oxford from Heirs of
 Late Judge Conan

Through the generosity of the heirs and friends of the late Judge Thomas Conan, of New York, a me- morial chapel is being erected in the town of Oxford, this state, which will prove a much appreciated place of worship for the people of that town. The edifice is to be of frame construction on a field stone founda- tion. Its exterior is to be covered with brown stained shingles, the me- mortal windows to be of imported glass of religious design. The com plete set of vestments are being made by the nuns of Mt. St. Vincent's on the Hudson, and the interior fittings are likewise given, the generous do- nation of the friends and heirs of the deceased. The interest of the people in this act of generosity on the part of Judge Coman's heirs is shown by the free giving of the land for a site for the chapel by MT. and Mrs. Au- gust Pelletien, who likewise promise with their children to attend to all the details of keeping the chapel in a tidy condition.

 WHEN MAYOR TO STAND BY PEOPLE

terests He has ever dared to men, tion the name of Warner and for that he is threatened by Boss King. Think of it, MT. Voter!
 Fortunately for himself John M. Donnelly has a record of public ser- vice that is without a blemish. He has been tried as alderman, senator and tax collector and has never been found wanting. If his record in pub- lie office in the past is not a guaran- tee of what he will do when he is chosen mayor, by what standard is he to be measured. Surely no intelli- gent honest elector will be deceived into voting against him because of anger with forces that are said to control him when in reality they do not and will not when he is mayor.
 The Farmer has spoken its mind in this campaign. It is neither own ed or. bossed by any clique, political or otherwise. It has given MT. Don nelly its support because it knows him and believes in him. If The Farmer did not know that Dr. Don- nelly was straightforward, honest, capable and above trucking to agen- cies that are opposed to the best in- terests of the city it would not ask it's readers to vote for him.
 The Farmer is for Donnelly be- cause Donnelly is for the people. Let every Democrat do his duty tomor- row and John M. Donnelly will be the next mayor of Bridgeport.

WHAT THEY OMIT

In their consideration of the ''poli-
 cies which have received the approV-
 al of De Yer H. Warner" the War
 ner- er-King-Lavery candidates have practically omitted to discuss those
 most fraught with danger to the pockets of the citizens.
 A few words about consolidating
 the offices of director of public works and city engineer, little talk about creating a board to purchase all SUD- plies, represent the substance of the
 average discussion by Coroner Wilson
 and the others.
 No explanation is vouchsafed of the proposed reconstruction of the
 school system, ala King.
 No defense is made of the coron- er's proposition to bond for all per
 manent improvements, which would mean, for example. that the one mill tax for new school house would be suspended, and all school buildings hereafter built from the proceeds of fifty year bonds, at double the cost to the tax payers
 There is an utter failure to point out and explain that the Warner policies define and mark plan oi Warner aggrandizement, under which the credit of the city, would be ex- hausted to prevent it purchasing pub- lie utilities, the streets put into con trol of the public service corporations more absolutely than ever, the school system made a political asset to the Warner -King-Lavery machine, and the city given a government by Cor oner Wilson and the Warner King Lavery machine for gas, water, cleo. trio, trolley and railroad monopoly.

Monster RemonStrance Against 100 Saloon
 Men in New Haver

New Haven Nov. ,6.-That the campaign of the City Missionary as- sociatio against what it regards as the saloon evils of the city is to be pressed with even greater vigor this year than ever before and that the fire of battle is undimmed by any re- buffs or defeats in the past would seem to be the meaning back of the filing just now of notice of protest against the renewal of the licenses of nearly 100 cafe proprietors in this city.
 This is said to be the longest list the association has ever presented. It includes the names of a large num- Der of saloon men who have been more or less prominent and are quite we'll known about the city. The list was filed at the offices of the county commissioners by the Rev. William D. MossInan, city missionary. Objec- tions are alleged to be made on ac- count of unsuitabflity or past record
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1911-11-06

John M. Donnelly, Democratic can didate for mayonv cAornises to be as good as his record. Such a promise ought to be worth something from a man who has served the people as an alderman, a state senator and a tax collector. giving efficient, faith full and progressive service in each capacity.
 In the closing hours of the cam- paign Donnelly looms stronger than at the beginning, despite the adverse circumstances that marked his en- trance into the field. His strength could not be more brilliantly shown than by the way in which he has seized. "a difficult situation, and made it his own. The accusation that he will be the tool of bosses he meets with the statement, "If a boss comes into my office if I am elected mayor and attempts to tell me what to do, I will kick him out"

REV. MIR. BEARDS VIEWS ON BONDING
 THE CITY AND ON BONDING THE CHURCH

Rev. Gerald H. Beard, is the pas tor of one of Bridgeport's leading congregations.~ He is a man of force and impetuous determination. He has the fault of men of his tempera- ment, that he makes up his mind on insufficient evidence, or >too superfi- ciaI Knowledge. This good pastors latest secular advice relates to bond inc. o4Ie isays:sicsa Te2n1oy
 sssTfie question is not now, shall we bond for a High School Building or raise the money in some other way? It is, shall we have a first class high school, or go without it?
 Let us see about this. The pro- position is not merely ito build high scfsoof,t but to createuaS debt of $4o0.- 00O. to build it. Si
 This debt cannot be extinguished at the will of the city. It is com manded to run for 50 years. During that half century the people of Bridgeport will pay. not $400.000 for high schoohrbse more than sS00,- coo ncv ch .ymnGoT - Tat.s
 The editor of this newspaper has some vivid recollection that once a year, or so, some. pastor enters the editorial place, his face aglow with enthusiasm, his mind alight with joy.
 He has come to say: Great item. MT. Editor, last night we BURNED the mortgage on the church. <
 That debt of the church had been for years burden. It had skimped the music, decreased the pastors sal ary, laid innumerable parsimonies and grinding economies upon the should CTS of the parsons wife. It had hampered the work of the church The interest account was so much no, available for the real work of the church.
 Not often, once or twice in life time, the editors have known clergy men who actually owned their owr homes. There is even remembered a vivid description by one good pastor of the joy that filled his own bosom and thereafter the mind of his faith. full wife, when that mortgage on the home was finally discharged.
 Now, good Pastor Beard, let u: suppose that some improvement wa: contemplated on your church, ant that it is proposed to mortgage the property to get the money.
 Before that debt was burdened up on the free property, or the partl, free property, wouldn't there b, solemn discussion, and wouldn't it b, necessary to show that the improve ment was absolutely necessary.
 But suppose the proposition was tt

raise the money on a mortgage to run for 50 years on a mortgage that | could not be paid according to the financial ability of the congregation, on mortgage that must run until ! the last minute of the last hour of period longer than the average life | time of man.
 What would happen to such a pro- position made to Mir. Beard, the exc cutive of his congregation? What would happen to such fin- ancial proposition made to Mr%Beard. | holder of the title in home? Would he not say, "even though we need this thing badly we cannot afford to get it on those terms?'' So Brother Beard, the question now before us does relate to HOW we shall pay for the new High School. The present plan proposing to es- tablish debt inextinguishable for a half century, is based upon the whis. kered- and fallacious theory that | Po9SGAAtS CdA DG I1dQG 10 DaV the bill to the relief of living men.
 These bonds so issued are just as much mortgage upon the home, as though they were directly against the home. The homes of Bridgeport are security for the debt. The homes of Bridgeport must pay the debt.
 Some men believe that there should be new High School.
 Some others believe that the pres. ent High School should be remodeled
 But no one who has given a mo- ment's consideration to the matter believes that either. kind of a high school ought to be built from the proceeds of 50 year mortgage which the debtor cannot pay until the full pound of flesh is stripped from his bones
 | Occasionally it will happen thai cities must build what cannot be paid for from single years tax levy. I Then debt must be created. II should be created for the shortes possible period consistent with an an. nual tax rate that is not exorbitant.
 If city must be bonded, bond i for productive things, as gas, water electric light and trolleys. Ther operate those things to pay the run ming expenses of the city, and to ex
 tinguish the debt occasioned by thei
 purchase.

GETTING READY TO
 SHEAR THE SHEEP

De Yer HI. Warner, who is an officer in, or heavily 1nterested in gas, water, trolleys anu rai- make public his control Of his latest acquisition, the local Re- publican organization.
 He now says that his object In politics is to confer upon the people of Bridgeport ''the com- mission form of government, presumably whether they want it or not, since his ''pOlicies" do not mention the referendum.
 MT. Warmers policies" had previously been reduced to writing, and to the deeciaraflon that s'the Republican party is not now in a position to declare for a complete commission form of government"
 But the "policies' do declare strongly for consolidated con- trol of the streets of the city, unler circumstances that would make them as much a part Of Mir. Warmers system as his gas or water company is.
 The 'pOlicics' use no unl1esf- tating language when they treat of mortgaging the city, which, with exhausted credit, could not engage in productive enterprises, like the sale of gas, water, elcc- tric light and transportation.
 And finally, lest there should be some doubt about it, MT. Warner's ''policies'' put large, long and sharp spike into muni- cipal ownership.
 If the commission form o< government will delay municipal ownership of public utilities, un- doubtedly it will sometiHnC nave a stronger position in the pOli- cies.
 In the meantime electors have a little common sense, and will have no difficulty in understand ing NIT. Warmers motives as the controlling factor in an Organiza- ton which has produced Messrs. King, Laycry and Coroner Will son as bell wethers to lead the ; fleecy flock up to the shears of ; monopoly.
