LAFOLLETTE BEGINS HIS
 PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN

Senator LaFollette opened his tour of speechmaking today in his cam paign for the Republican presidential nomination. He will deliver series of speeches, explaining the meaning and purpose of the progressive move ment, and outlining the progressive policy for the future. It has been said for the able Republican Senator from Wisconsin, that he is the first Republican politician since the time of Lincoln who has measured into the sstatesman's class in the interest of the rank and file of his party. in thought and speech LaFollette is the coIdly analytical scientist, rather than the orator. He differs as much as may be from Roosevelt, the latter being fervant utterer of time worn platitudes.s while the former seeks re- suits in the light of the most advanced knowledge and expert testimony.
 LaFollette is a product of the old

THE MONEY TRUST
Greatest Potential Evil of the Times, Says Samuel
 Untermyer

(By Clyde H. Tavenner, Special Cor
 respondent of The Farmer.)
 Washington, Dec 27-Samuel Unter- myer, the New York lawyer who won fame and fortune through his ability to organize trusts. and who, because of his extensive knowledge of how the big monopolies operate, may be re- tained by the Rules committee of the House to handle the forthcoming in vestigation of the money trust, is out with the statement that thss latest trust outranks them all in it's possibili- ties for evil.
 In letter to Congressman Lind bergh, of Minnesota, Mr. Untermyer makes the assertion that it never will be possible to solve the tariff or cur rency issues until it is realized that the greatest problem confronting the country today is to break up the money trust.
 All the investigations now pending combined are not of an importance to the country that begins to compare with this.,' he writes The money trust peril is not only the greatest one the people now face. but it also is the most underestimated. By reason of the power of this trust no new en- terprise is possible which threatens to compete with any of the enterprises now controlled by the big nlouop- Olies.
 Those who suppose that the danger threatened by the. money trust is a figment of the imagination, created or encouraged by the demagogue, know nothing of the dangers of the situa- tion. Until this question is under stood nothing ever will be accomplish homie problems
 This opinion, coming from one of MT. Untermyer's knowledge of real conditions. has had the effect of stir- ring new opposition to the Aldrich currency scheme, the passage of sought by the special privilege inter- ests. Presidents Taft, in his mes- sage to Congress, strongly endorsed the Aldrich plan. although admitting that he did not fully understand just how it would work out Democratic the Presidents language, were deeply interested in what he had to say, and this interest was heightened when, following on the heels of the meg sage, came the Untermyer statement. Some of them asked questions like this:
 If Mr. Untermyer, who. has been been a trust lawyer for years, and who knows the ins and outs of. corpo- ration practice as perhaps no other lawyer In America knows them, de- clares that the money trust consti- tutes the greatest potential evil tn the country. why does President Taft while admitting that he doesn't fully understand the question. urge Con- gress to pass a law which nine out of ten members of Congress believe will strengthen this very trust which MT Untermyer condemns?"
 A determined effort will be made [ the House leaders say. to prevent any investigation of the Money trust The argument will be used that the Demo crats already have many investiga- tions on hand, and that they will not have time to take up another. The foes of the money trust. however, are prepared to do their utmost to bring the investigation about. and in the event they are successful it is very likely that Mir. Untermyer will be engaged to examine witnesses for the investigation committee.

HAVE NATIONS OUTGROWN THE NECESSITY .a. OF SETTLING DIFFERENCES BY SLAUGHTER?

Dean Henry Wade Rogers, of faie Law School, in a recent address, speaking against war, treats as pop uIar delusions" such manifestations of former society as chattel slavery and duelling. He believes war Is such a delusion.
 with the conclusion of this learned gentleman that nations should turn themselves to the pursuits of peace and unload their vast armaments there is no dispute.
 All his argument to this end is eX- cellently put, and casculated to make the sober think. &
 Would 1t not be more scientific. however, to treat deep seated and widespread institutions as rather a stage in a necessary process :f growth, than as mere phantasms?
 Admitting that the general assault upon the institution of war indicates that war is no longer a necessary condition of progress, it does not show that war was unnecessary in the past.
 Nations have arrived by process of growth, somewhat analogous to
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1911-12-27

the process by which babies become men.
 7 Suppose that a coctrine of non resistance had been received while men existed for the most part in a tribal state. Would it not follow that the advocates of the new doctrine would have been extinguished by those who adhered to the battle ax?
 Duelling will be found to have had it's origin, in utility. As duelling was not suspended until society haf reached a high state, so war will not be until the ethical status of nations is upon a yet higher level. N
 The universality of the assault up- on Mars indicates that the period of disarmament may not be distant, for which we should be thankful. Dean Rogers is doing more than his share to hasten the moment of glorious clj- max, when another piece of scaffold- ing will be pushed away from the world structure, permitting a better view of the finished outline. of that vast temple.

HOW THE VOTES OF WOMEN CLEANED UP
 SEATTLE AND JAILED A BRIBE TAKER

wise known. as. ''wappy," whom he accused of crime.
 Mayor Gill returned post haste to meet a recall election. as the result of which he was discharged and re- placed by George w. Dilling, the re- suit being attributable largely to the votes of women. An effort, made later, to recall Dilling, failed for lack of signers to the petition.
 In the meantime Seattle has been taken out of the graft column, and the chief of police has been sentenced to not more than three years imprIs- onment for taking a bribe.
 Thus have the women of Seattle entered the politics of the queenly Pa cinc city, much to its moral and ma : terial improvement.

THE PENSIONING OF NEW HAVEN TEACHERS E. AND PUBLIC OPINION AS FORCE BEHIND LAW

After all, is it not the function of somebody takes enough interest to de- mand one? Where is the man who will ask the court to deprive the veteran teachers of their pension? If there. is not one such in New Haven, then no wrong has been done.
 Public opinion alone gives force 10 law. Proof is that most of the worlds heroes are so because they broke un- popular laws-statutes not sustained by public opinion
 The signers of the Declaration of Independence were law breakers. So was John Brown, who was hung, as the signers would, or might, have been, had the arbitrament of arms gone against them. The early Chris. tians outraged many Roman statutes. But why cite precedent? The able argument of the editor of the Jour nal-Courier is enough.
 But let him think carefully who breaks law. There is a strong pre- sumption that a law is sustained by public opinion. The number of laws the infringement of which is a high way to the fame of hero are al- ways strictly limited, and the break ing will ever be at the peril of the breaker.
 We judge that the action of New Haven's Board of Education has sound public opinion behind il. Should any fanatical person sue for judgment and obtain it, special acr to cover these four cases will be easy to get.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1911-12-27

| NAw Haven has a statute permit Sing the pensioning of superannuated uohool teachers. In applying the statute the Board of Education found -four teachers of long service who had retired . little before the law became operative In the interest of justice, and despite an opinion by the cor poration counsel that the law did not cover these teachers, the board grant ed pensions to them. This action was defended by the esteemed editor Of the Journal-Courier. who thereupon became object of accusation that he was defying the sacred law, and Tn danger of becoming an anarchist, or something worse. 2
 To this awful charge the editor re- plies as follows:
 The constitution, the common law and the statute law are useful only in SO far as they are, supported by popular opinion. All three are sus- pended without protest when pub lie opinion gives the word. The Con- necticut-i Sunday law IS suspended fifty-two Sundays in the year, and yet no ono gets excited. Since, then, the strict interpretation of the copstitu- tior. in the case of the teachers pen sion law, meant an act of injustice to . four deserving veteran teachers. the board of education did we'll to decline to accept MT. -Kleiner's opinion as a ruling of the supreme court, and nroceed upon its own hook. We shall await with some interest the appear ance of the man who is now ready to invoke the constitution in behalf of its Tnajestya Disd gl.asf5e7
 The ciaim is we'll taken. The opin- ion of a city attorney is not conclu- sive upon publis board. which may see the law as they see it and not as he sees it.

THOMAS ARNOLD JR.

The death of Thomas Arnold. IT.. removes one who, at an early age had attained no small measure of distinc- tion in business and public service, career untimely cut short by disease and the limitations of modern sur gery. In private and public life MT. Arnold was model citizen. Repub- llcan in politics, his aspirations were modelled upon the best ideals of Jef- ferson and Lincoln. As a member of the Common Council he served the people faithfully, being With one ex- ceptlon the only member of that body upon his side of the house who voted against the twenty-year water con tract. He also favored municipal ownership of public utilities, contrib uting more than his share to the growth of public ownership doctrine in Bridgeport. His term in the Com- mon Council so commended him to the citizenship that he was elected to the Senate in 1907, although the com plexion of his district, the Twenty second, was strongly Democratic fin the Senate he showed the same devo- ton to the public interest that he had displayed in the Common Coun. Gil. Steadfastly resisting the demands of the Lobby, he urged the passage of public utilities laws and favored other progressive legislation. As Il member of the finance committeee he reported the personal tax bill, buy did so under protest, as chairman of the committee ,as he himself recently explained, having opposed the bill in committee. 4. s3E
 He was man of broad humanity, member of fraternities, a devout Catholic, a kind-heurted, charitable and generous man. In illustration of his leading traits of sympathy and generosity may be mentioned his course during the coal famine of a decade ago, when, although dealers were taking advantage of the situa- tion to increase the price of this com modity, he brought coal to Bridgeport and sold it at cost, bringing comfort to many families, and increasing faith in human nature.
 His death in the full flower of use- fulness will be generally regretted He was such citizen as can ill be spared.

Instead of having some form of entertainment for members as in the past the young men made up fund and invited a number of children who for some unfortunate circumstances were not going to have so much of the joys of Christmas time and gave them a Christmas tree with a live Santa Claus at the building Monday night. There was no question of children s hearts made happy as they took from Santa's hands the coveted toys but the men present seemed to enjoy even more the scene and enthusiastically voted that it was the best Christmas program.
