His Word, His Bond Not True of These
To the Editor Of the Lvening Star;
We have elected three Assemblymen,
Boettner, Mylod and Balentine, to rep
resent our county and keep the pledges
they made to us before election. The
trio made a start by requesting the
foremost Democrat In Essex to be-
come a candidate for the United States
senatorship, pledged him their loyal
support, and after both had boen ac-
copied, deserted the Essex man to sup
port what Governor Wilson called a
Joke"
When a person gives his word and
breaks 1t to get where the llmelight Is
brightest, he is open to all criticism.
Boettner remarked to an acquaintance
a short time after the controversy had
started, we seem to be between two
fires on this thing. 1 wish they'd let
us alone and let us vote for a senator

when all that goes with it Is the sign

sacredly keeps his word while under

thought we elected eleven men worth
while.

No less a person than Mr.. Carnegie
who has proved beyond the ~peradven-
ture of a doubt that he is intensely In
terested In International peace n
everything which might tend to further
It, has almost become converted to the
Presidents way of thinking about the
fertilization OF the Panam canal He
Is about ready to admit that 1t would
make for peace. In an interview with a
representative of a London news agency
the other day, Mr.. Carnegie said:
Many friends of peace are urging
that standardization Of the canal
would be a great message of peace to
the whole world, a splendid proof that
the world is really advancing toward
the abolition of war and proof that the
United States republic can trust other
nations to respect neutrality.
IT have no doubt that this would have
been the case and that the effect of
identification would have been pro-
found; but since 1t is otherwise de-
cided, for reasons satisfactory TO our
President, who is foremost in the great
peace movement now upon us. we must
realize thai sound reason exists for his
decision"

When a government shows its graft

the International fiavor to such an

Thus we read with pleasure that the
italian government has bestowed a
pension of 8 1900 a year on Captain
John Adolf Nilsson, a native OF Sweden,

Captain Charles Barr, who died the

since he could do this one thing better

FIVE HUNDRED HENS IN
EGG LAYING CONTEST

Storrs, Conn, Nov. 1.-The five hun
dred hens entered in the international
Egg Laying Competition started today
on the long contest, which will con-
tinue one year. There are one hun
dred teams of five hens each. Each
team is housed by itself in a separate
pen. One substitute is held in reserve
for each pen.
The competition is staged at the ex-
pertinent station of the Connecticut
Agricultural College, where a hundred
small frame houses have been erected
to house the competing hens during
the year of their egg-laying trial.
Armed guards and savage dogs will
guard the pens day and night, as the
hens are the pick of the world and
immensely valuable. The entries are
