MUCH OPPOSITION
TO ANOTHER COUNTY

The first meeting of the committee
on new counties and county seats was
held yesterday in Hartford when the
measure calling for the formation Of
a new county was discussed. Repre-
sentative Thomas of Waterbury adj
dressed the committee in behalf of his
bill which would make an additional
county. The towns to be included
therein are Waterbury. Wolcott. Pros
pect Naugatuck, Middlebury. Beacon
Falls. Seymour, Oxford and South
bury of New Haven county and Wood
bury, Bethlehem, WATERFOWL, Thorn
aston and Plymouth of Litchfield
county. Representative Thomas said
that the towns named are naturally
inclined towards the city of Water
bury Trade and traffic conditions are
such that Waterbury is the center. 1t
would make an ideal county seat. NO
heavy county taxes would follow as
Litchfeld. Eventually new county
must come and Waterbury seems to
be the logical seat for such division.
A large list of prominent men APP
peared in opposition to the new coun-
ty including Speaker Fred A. Scott
whose town is Plymouth C. J. At
water of Seymour. DR.. Sedgwick of
Litchfield. who said his county was
out Of debt and wanted to stay that
way, s. Hart Culver of Seymour. Rep
resentative Tiff of Beacon Falls. and
a score of others 1t was shown that
Seymour Naugatuck and Beacon
Falls had unanimously voted in town
meetings against the new county and
with the exception of Representative
Thomas no one favored the bill.

Bartholdt, of Missouri. member of the
Inter-Parliamentary Peace Union, and

Copyright, 1911, by the United Press

(By Representative Richard Bartholdt)
Fearful lest the worldwide move
nnent for peace shall put an end to
militarisn and war. the jingoes of the
entire world are clamoring for con-
flicts for the clank and clatter of the
dread machinery which. if put in mo-
ton. will mean the slaughter of thou
sands of the flower of mankind.
All over the world and particularly
in America, the proponents of war are
agitating, calling upon patriotism,
self-interest, passion and all the emo
lions that lead men to kill. From the
sun-baked deserts of the Mexican
border to the palm clad isles of the
East, Americas jingoes shout the
need for war.
They wish to involve the world in
the last great armagedon when the
powers, great and small shall engage
in chaotic conflict for the last time,
TO go down clutching each others
threats in the wild, unreasoning man
ner OF worldwide war. They see
that peace, enduring worldwide peace,
bound by strong compact of all ma
lions, is bound to come and they
fear less the Wanted machinery of
war be consigned to the refuse heap
Behind this persistent clamor for
war, war, in our country, as well as
throughout the world, can be seen the
growing Influence of the machinery
of war that we have already built up
Army and navy, ever growing strong
err in their social political and eco
nornic influence, fear the time when
their profession of war shall become
obsolete, replaced by an international,
law-bound peace. And the widespread
influence is at work. seeking to plunge
the nations into a devastating war to
justify their existence and to popular
iZe their occupa ton.
Man has still the faint of the ami
NAL and the joy of conflict looms
large within him. So long as it is
there wars will come, unless the strong

fly at each others throats on the
slightest provocation. The real peace
will come when we succeed in instf-
tuting a world peace law. with the law
of every nation behind it and the
power of all the nations pledged to
police the world
And the peace movement is pro-
crossing slowly, steadily, irresistibly,
because it Is important Nor shall all
