JUDGE and STAFF
SWORN IN TODAY
IN CITY COURT

AS announced in the Farmer last
evening, Judge Foster made the ap-
pointments of his staff in the city
court today. The only hitch in the
proceedings was the delay in Judge
Wilder's reappointment: Judge Will
der's commission will date from May
1, while Judge Fosters dates from
April T. This was through an over
sight on the part of the Judiciary COM
mittee, both resolutions having ordin-
arily read May 1, and Judge Fosters
being changed to that Of his former
appointment, April z.
After the usual formalities of swear
ing in the officials had been observed,
Judge Foster delivered a brief speech
expressing his confidence that the good
will that had existed for the last two
years will continHe, and voicing his
appreciation of the kindly relations ex-
listing between the police department
and the city court.
The formalities over, City Court Of
ficer F'innegan opened court for the
day, and the usual grist of petty Of
tenders was disposed of.

Mrs. Thompson Raps
Woman Suffragists

Greenwich, Conn.,, April 7-"Speaking
generally, women suffragists divide
naturally into two classes-frst, those
who have had trouble with their hus-
bands, and, second, those who are
looking for trouble"
These are the words of Mrs. Flora
Mcdonald Thompson of Greenwich In
a lengthy letter which she wrote to
the Woman's Suffrage committee of
the Connecticut General Assembly, pro-
testing against favorable report on
the Unlimited Suffrage bill, now be-
fore that legislative body.
Mrs. Thompson is now to be taken
to task by the Greenwich Equal Fran
chise League.
The two days session of the suffrag-
lists closed in the House at Hartford
yesterday afternoon. Mrs. Arthur
Dodge, president of the New York
State Association Opposed to Woman
suffrage, and Miss Alice Chittenden OF
Brooklyn. of the same association, told
why women should not have the bal
lot. They said that intelligent men
and suffragists did, but they halt
ed at the rights and would get them
before the suffragists did, but they
halted at the vote for women.
Two men spoke for the ants, John j.
SpIain and Robert ]. Woodruff OF New
Haven Mr. Splain said the suffrage
movement was but a fad, like a dog or
cat show or a Reno divorce. Kisses
interrupted his speech.

LABOR'S VOICE AT
CAPITOL HAS been
HEARD THIS YEAR
fsnecial from United Press,


Hartford, April 1.-The voice of Ia
Dor has been heard louder on Capt.
toll Hill, this legislative session, than
ever before in the States history. To-
day, the workers who attended the
yesterday hearing on bills legalizing
boycotts and picketing expressed sat
isfaction with the work of the labor
lobby. Besides the bills agitated yes
terday, workmen's compensation and
employers liability, the abolition of
contract prison labor and the $4,000
death limit have been among the mea-
sures advocated.
At every public hearing the labor
lobby has been large but not always
has it been able to make itself heard,
according to Samuel E. Beardsley, Of
Shelton Discussing labor's fight in
the General Assembly, today, Mr..
Beardsley, who is unionist of State
wide prominence, said:
1.-The opposition to labor on many
occasions has tricked the labor lobby
at public hearings by using up all the
time allowance. This has been so ap-
parent in the long winded time killing
speeches of the opposition that we
have afterwards accused the legisla-
tors of conspiring to defeat labor. Yes
terday, we adopted other tactics and
complained in open against this ruse
with the result that our side got it's
first real inning"
Final hearing will be held on the
boycott and picketing bills in the near
future. The judiciary committee is
struggling with the problem of a con-
stitutionaI workmen's compensation Or
employers liability bill. The abolition
of the $1,000 death limit in Industrial
accidents has been favorably report
ed to the General Assembly.

Men $ new
good shirts.

Really good soft shirts for
men; lots and lots of them.
Best of all are those from
the Yorke folks. Men in
this Yorke factory know
how to make shirts that suit
men.
When colors are used, they
are good colors. Patterns
Of black or blue or any other
color are tasteful. Stripes
are nice width. And each
shirt is finished carefully
and well.
Yorke shirts are comforta
BILE, too. They fit well about

ROSES, BIRDS AND SOME MEN.

The world is full of roses blooming
red for me and you.
They smile a morning welcome and
are wet with heavenly dew,
And every oak and maple, and every
apple thorn
Has a song bird on it's branches sing
ing gayly in the morn.
But you never see a red rose waiting
in a cloud of gloom
For some one who will coax it and
persuade 1t into bloom,
And you never see a song bird sitting
idly in a tree
In solemn sullen manner till one
begs for melody.
No, the red rose blooms in sweetness
and it gives it's charms to all,
And the bees may sip its honey, and
the honey's never gall;
Fen a little child may pluck it, or a
mother old and gray
For the roses special mission is to
glad some heart each day.
And the song bird in the branches
just as sweetly thrills and sings
For the ploughboys in the burrows as
he would>for mighty kings.
o, there never was a red rose or a
song bird up above,
That you had to beg for favors or you
had to know to love.
But with men it's O, so different.
there are some who smile and sing
And scatter love and sunshine, like
the song birds on the wing,
But we find too oft mortal who
could make his brothers glad,
Sitting solemnly and grimly, with a
visage long and sad,
Waiting some one who will coax him,
who will f1atter for his smile.
Ere he'll sing a song of gladness or
do anything worth while,
Give me men with gifts who use
them, and who let their spirits flow
One is worth dozen mortals, whom
to like you have to know.
