The Farmer has now, and ever has had faith in the intelligence, the good judgment and the honesty of the American people. It has never approved the various schemes put forward to take power from the peo- pie, upon the argument that they are, as a whole, incompetent to self-gov- ernment As a rule, with not more than enough exceptions to prove the rule, they decide alright.
 And so, when we review conditions in the pending city campaign, and find upon the one side@a ticket ob- viously tarred with the corporate stick, and upon the other, ticket headed by man of unblemished ed record who has approved himself un- der official tests, we feel confident that the unerring judgment of the people will decide in favor of the lat tero. Therefore wAeh asked to pre- dict the result on Tuesday next, ii is without hesitation that we name John M. Donnelly as the next Mayor of Bridgeport.

DO THE PEOPLE OF BRIDGEPORT WANT
 THEIR SCHOOL SYSTEM RECONSTRUCTED" BY MESSRS. KING, WARNER AND LAVERY

pose to expend more money. or less: What is wrong?
 Either they do not know what is wrong, or they are unwilling to take the voters into their confidence, or nothing is wrong.
 There is defect. Bridgeport ranks second in Connecticut in popu- lation, in enumeration, in registra- tion, in municipal revenues and value of grand list, but it sends fewer chil- dren into the advanced grades than most other cities of its size.
 But the defect Is not in the school system. It is in the, economic sys- tenn.
 If the eminent educators, Warner and King, will turn to the census re- ports, giving statistics of manufac- ture for Connecticut, their attention will be attracted by the low wage scale in Bridgeport, and by the large number of boys and girls employed in industrial pursuits.
 The struggle for bread rests heav1- ly upon the children of Bridgeport.
 The remedy is not in the recon struction of the school system, or in making the financial burden of that system heavier to be borne. The remedy should be sought by MT. War ner, the owner of public services, by MT. Warner the employer. Cheaper water, electric light, gas transportation and higher wages for men and women industrially employ ed would help cure this most griev- ous defect.
 There is absolutely no cure in mak- | ing John T. King vizier of the schools, under the benevolent despotism of 3 royal master.

QUESTIONS EASY
 ldIIYFlAANYswER Y

If any one is in doubt as to the real head and front of the local Re- publican campaign, let him read tha recently published statement of De Yer H. Warner! He speaks as one in authority, as one who knows with accuracy the unrevealed purposes of the party, and as the one who. when the party programme winces under attack, rushed to its defence. It IS ever the hit bird that f1utters.
 When there was indecision as be- tween rival aspirants, who abated the contest and "sat down hard" upon all of them save one? Was it not the King who is accredited with having been a public service lobbyist at Hartford?
 Why was Wilson the choice, after having been once stood aside, and why did this once rejected piece be- come "the cornerstone of the tenn piaENspoegHM1EyncEyutsidethe the War ner-King-Lavery -clique-do the Re- publican masses-know why this quick change was made?
 Was there a "deaI" and if so what pledges were exacted from Wilson, and were they, if any, in the interest of the city or of the public service corpofations. psssS
 Divers and sundrys high-sounding phrases were incorporated in the platform evidently to deceive the Re- publican masses and upon the" theory that "the noblest natures are most credulous.'' Can such phrases with those included in the Warner state ment, be accepted at par value:
 No; as soon
 Seek roses in December, ice in June, Hope constancy in wind, or corn in
 chaff,
 Believe a woman, or an epitaph.

Among the policies which have been approved by De Yer H. War ner' is one calling for a reconstruc- ton of the school system. This is not the first time that gentlemen close to MT. Warner have attempted to tinker the schools
 Two years ago the eminent educa- tor, John T. King, appeared for a charter amendment, which would have destroyed the existing govern ment of the schools, replacing it with a plan untried, and pleasing 2only to its promoters.t
 It would appear that so serious an assault upon an institution to which a very large portion of the municipal revenues are devoted ought to be ac- companied with some discussion, some offering of evidence, some proof showing that the system is defective and that it needs reconstruction.
 Is the money of the citizens vast ed? Are too many teachers employ ed? What IS the matter with the schools?
 The last report of the State Board of Education shows that the annual cost of tsaehing ssrh rpil in the public schools, per pupil enumerated. w,as in 1909. as follows:

 Wireless messages from the foreign ships at Hankow reported the city burning in several places and street fighting in progress between rebels and imperialists.
 Dispatches were received from Foe Chow declaring the disorders there se- rious and asking for warships to pro- tect them. The American torpedo boat destroyer Bainbridge left in re- spOnse to the appeal.

Our Dress Materials

'I do not know" said woman, "as T
 ever stopped to think just how variouS
 dress materials got their names, but last
 night I had occasion to learn a good deal
 on the subject
 "One of fathers friends dined with us.
 He is interested in a large department store and some way the conversation drifted shopwards. They were discussing tariff, imports and exports and soon I began to get more than passngly inter- ested. In some unaccountable way our guest was telling how different articles got their name.
 Had I stopped to think, I suppose I
 might have guessed that calico was in some way connected with Calcutta: in
 this, however I would have been mis-
 taken, for the name of this cotton fabric
 was taken from another town in British India Calicut. China is responsible for satin, which was likely first made in Fay | town. Cambria gave our word cambric. while the much used material serge is | named after the Spanish city, Xergia. Damask. as we might Imagine is named l for Damascus, while Mosul gives us inc word muslin. It was in part of Bagdad | called Taffeta, it is said, that this silk wa g | first sold. From the wool of a Peruvian | animal is alpaca made, while cashmere | was first woven in Cashmere, in Tibet. There is just one other fact I recall | and that is how our bed covering, the blanket. got it's name The man who in- troduced wool into England long before the discovery of America, was one Thom- as Blanket, and it seems only right that
 his name should be perpetuated In some way, doesn't it?"
