MR. vINCENT'S
 FINE SHOWING

The completed returns from the Fourth Congressional District show that S. E. Vincent made a strong run His struggle for the election was charaeterized by open and honorable methods. and his propaganda, was of great value to his party.
 He need not feel humiliated or de- pressed by reason of his failure to get a plurality of votes Senator Donovan, who was victorial, had be- hind him a united party. MT. Vim cent suffered somewhat by the tre- nnendous efforts Of Republicans to save Ei1i. Some of these methods were not above criticism, but they were effective in transposing ballots that properly belonged to MT. Vim cent
 MT. Vincent, though not victorious, may well contemplate with sstisfac- taon the results that have been ac- cornplished. He is among those fear less men who in go days built up Q great party, febuking the aggressions of wealth within an organization that had eossiiized out of any sem mblance of usefulness.
 when MT. Vincent contempiates the circumstances that if he had. not been n candidate Ebenezer J. Hill might again have been returned to Con- zress. he may well feel pleased with the result He did patriots duty. and if he has not received the ma xexiaI reward of duty well performed he may be sure that the majority of ais fellow citizens are grateful to him.

THE TAX ON SUGAR

!
 Instead of taxing sugar nearly two cents pound. place tax on wealths
 The Democratic House of Repre- sentatives announced this as a part Of it's program to reduce the cost of living.
 Then came the old cry of: You can't do it; it's nconstitution Whenever it is proposed to tax wealth instead of poverty. wealth raises the question of constitutionality. accom- panied with the charge of radical iszn's The income tax is not radical Every first class nation on the face of the earth-except the United States raises a part of its revenue to run the government by taxing incomes, among such nations being Great Britain, France. Germany. Holland, Switzerland, New Zealand. Australia and Denmark.
 Under our present fiscal policy, the expense of maintaining the army and navy, building public buildings. and running the government, is met by taxing the things the people must have in order to live. Practically all revenue is raised through the tariff and internal revenue taxes. While the hats, coats and shirts of the mass es are taxed almost II per cent, Rockefeller, Morgan and the other nillionaires are not asked nor do single cent of taxation on their swol- len fortunes Since the tariff is levied only on things eaten, worn or used, a poor man with a family of five chil- dren actually contributes more toward running the national government than a rich bachelor too proud to marry and raise family.
 The Democratic plan was to place sugar on the free list, thus repeating an annual 53.OoO.ooo tax on the breakfast table, now borne by the American people. Then the present corporation tax was to be extended to include individuals and co-partner- ships having an income of over $5,o0o which exceeds s5.000 would have been taxed 1 per cent. bringing into the treasury between $50.ooo.ooO and $60,O00,000 a year, which would have made up for the s5s,OOO,000 now de- rived annually from the sugar tariff. The reduction in the price of sugar to the consumer, it is estimated, would have amounted to about 1 A cents a pound.
 The plan was defeated. But some day 1t will come to pass and that day is nigh at hand for the people are really coming in control in Washing rrtar

TELLS HOW TO GUARD
 AGAINST TUBERCULOSIS

The Swedish .Anti-Tuberculosis As- soeia+ion' held it's meeting at ae the night, despite the disagreeab1e Eyeath- CT, and Fred R. Johnson, Super1nten- dent of the Charities department gave his talk on what is being done to nghr the white plague in this city. There was a musical program and an enjoy able time was had by those present in English He said that tuberculosis was no longer looked upon as hered1- tary disease, but. has been found to be more a, disease of environment, ana a preventable disease. He believed that the disease could be cured in Con necticut just as well as in Colorado in the very front ranks of those states that are successfully fighting the white plague.
 Its methods and efforts were setting ttenfs are being cared for in the san atoria Of this state and in the most Communicable disease he contended and segregation Is necessary. Bresn ar, pure, wholesome food ana Qu1et anu rest are necessary to effect cure. ae ateIy to a eanatorium where proper treatment can be received, thus ehm1- mating the chance of spreading the dis ease.
 MT. Johnson's talk was an interesting one. He figured that there are ap- proximately 1,2oe cases in this city; The deaths from tuberculosis averaged between 150 and 200 year, a decrease from former years For each oeatn studies have shown that there are to be found at least six eases of more or less advanced stage and on this basis MT. Johnson concluded that there were about 200 cases in the city

result of conference between w. III.
Langshaw, president of the Dartmouth
mill and committee of his fixers, the
fxers' strike against that mill is to be
declared off. Formal action by the un-
ion has not been taken but assurances
that the union will call the strike off
are given. The ending of the Dart
mouth loomfxers' strike sinplifies the
strike situation in this city, eliminating
as it has one of the causes of difference
which caused the closing of the Dart
mouth mill. The general weavers'
strike still continues, however, and SC
cordingly the mill will not be opened
Immediately. Mr.. Langshaw has ae-
ceded to his fixers on most of their COM
