SEES A POLITICAL BOOMERANG

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: The leaders of Tammany Hall have
seen ut 10 start bigoted campaign against
those who voted against Mr.. Sheehan and
accepted Mr. O'Gorman for United States
Senator. There were 10000 or 1000 indie
pendents who helped to elect Mr.. Dix. and
the Governor knows II. These men do not
care who Is the Tammany boss. although
they control elections and very often elect
Mr.. Murphy's ticket.
Does he want that ticket elected next
month? Does he want those votes? They
Will not be especially attracted by such
methods Democrats elected Garfield and
Republicans elected Cleveland. Bosses
grow. but can he easily overthrown. Sup
pose the independents. disguised with this
higoted persecution of good men, stay away
from the polls Where will Mr.. Murphy's
ticket be- And where will Mr.. Murphy be?

TEN as intended TO be in earnest and TO
be taken seriously. In that light. 1t Is
q fair question whether it should con-
tribute the more to the gayety or the
sadness of nations. Nothing could easily
be more humorous-it is almost GLIDER
tian in its favor-than the suggestion
that policemen and librarians should be
subjected to precisely uniform tests; and
yet nothing could be much more depress-
ing than such n revelation Of ignorance
of the very fundamental principles OF the
civil service system. Certainly TO the
minds of intelligent and thoughtful men
the merit system could wish no stronger
vindication than that which is implied
in such attacks.

the metropolis an unsurpassed outlook

We take a certain special pleasure in
this result. for the reason that both or
these projects have been strongly and
persistently commended in our columns.
A short time ago it was feared that
rivalry between the two sites might

Sir: | agree with Mr.. McGnnis. He sim
ply stated that certain persons mentioned
by Mr. MoIineaux as being OF ancient Irish
lineage were OF Scotch-Irish extraction and
had no part in Irish history prior TO the
Ulster plantation. Mr.. Molineaux thinks
he answers by going into long dlsserta-
ton on the ancient glories Of Ireland. and
casts a doubt on his historical accuracy
by the assertion that Ireland had a hun
dred kings before any modern great nation
had one This statement shows that his
enthusiasm runs away with him. He, al
though an American, I presume, is so thor
oughly Irish that he should not blame
those people Of the North OF Ireland who
have not forgotten that their forbears
came from Bonnie Scotland"
Mr.. Sweeney. who writes that President
Jackson stated that his parents were Irish.
speaks truly as President Jacksons pa
rents. grandparents. and possibly great
grandparents, were born in Ireland, as the
Scotch settled In Ulster about the time the
Dutch settled In New York. but he. as well
as John Caldwell Calhoun, were OF Scotch
Irish descent. Moreover. II Mr.. Sweeney
viii consult the Americanized "Encyclo-
paedia Britannica" and look up the record
Of the greatest soldier of the Jackson fami-
~ Thomas J. C'StonewallO Jackson, he
will find the following: Born in Harri-
son County, Virginia, January 81, 1924. and
came Of that Scotch-Irish stock to whose
hardy virtues the Middle States Of Amer
lea arc largely indebted for the pure and
resolute virtues of their people"
In New York City we hear Of many who
boast of their descent from the early Dutch
and English settlers. so why should not
the scotch-Irish be proud OF their Scottish
ancestry? AMERICAN.

with it is that it will lead to various

of Estimate and Apportionment from
making another little addition to the tax

taxpayers are mot nlggardly'' and that
the city can save elsewhere the addi-

direction, is full Of promise Of large tax
bills for the public. The Mayor recently

AT POLLS THEATER.
The Great Divide.

Loaned to Norwich for week is
the Meriden company of s. 2. Poll,
playing The Great Divide, and from
the impression created by their work
at Polls. theater, here, at the perform
ances on Monday. they should have
week of big business. 1t is probable
that this week will end the local sea
son, Manager Rusk having heard moth
ing to the contrary.
The Great Divide is a western play,
dealing with the western and eastern
characters in a most interesting way,
which excites the interest and holds 1t
throughout the three acts all of which
are well staged.
A delightful impression was made
by Miss Caroline Locke in the role of
Ruth Jordan, the girl who was caught
alone by a bunch of drunken cowboys
and ratified off to the strongest and
highest bidder. AS the girl at the
ranch and later as the wife, her work
was admirably done and won general
favor. AS Stephen Client. the lucky
man, Elwood Bostwick gave a finished
INTERPRETATION of the role of the west
ern man and his ideals which so quick
" responded to the influence from the
east and he was given a big hand in
the closing act.
Miss Gloria Gallup plays most in
terestingly the part of Polly Jordan,
while the nervous and impetuous Phil
10 was the role which Carroll DAILY
handled so well. Miss Nellie Battele
as the mother was charming and the
remainder of the company give the
necessary support to make the pay a
success.
