New Directory Wanted.

One directory that New York needs
but has not got is the names and ad-
dresses of former celebrities who are
now running rooming and boarding
houses.
Such a volume would be highly ap-
preciated by our nomadic population.
Many singer, actress, or writer who
formerly held place in the public
eye has now settled down to the
prosaic occupation of housing and
feeding small portion of that same
public.
Their houses are magnet for
young persons with the artistic tenn
permanent. One woman who once en-
joyed fair reputation as a violinist
has five furnished apartments which
she subjects, room by room, to aspir-
ants for dramatic, operatic, and liter
airy honors. Reflected glory rather
than physical comfort is the portion
of most of these satellites, but the
privilege Of hobnobbing with yester-
days greatness compensates for ma
terial discomfort.-New York Times.

The Farmer knows nothing about

Senator Spellacy DID vote for the

EX-GOV. ODELL COMES BACK
AS "SOIIDIER IN THE RANKS

When Benjamin Barker Odell, Jr..
recently. announced that he had
come back. politically, and intended
to take an active part In the Repub-
lican affairs of the Empire State as a
solder in the ranks ;, there was a
considerable commotion among the
politicians. That a man who was
chairman of the Republican State
Committee. Congressman and Cover
nor for two terms should be willing
to remain a mere private seemed pre-
posterous. What does he want?
Whose scalp is he after? These were
the questions the politicians asked
each other, and time may tell them,
time being a real nifty teller.
At the present moment the former
Governor and Republican leader of
New York State wants to be State
committeeman from his district, the
Twenty-sixth, and will probably get
his wish as the result of the primary
to be held tomorrow. He is opposed

THE CoURANr LETS THE COLONEL" OUT

The next time our esteemed friend,
The Hartford Courant, comes to
Bridgeport for instructions as to :;s
course in a Hartford city election, it
will think twice and perhaps-not do

Its unusual, not to say reckless.
course in borrowing local policies. has
resulted SO far in such disaster to
Col. Louis r. Cheney, that The Cour-
ant feels obliged to exonerate him
from all knowledge of, or participa-
lion in, the unwarrantable character

It INDUCED because a Bridgeport
newspaper had said it.
The Courant's effort to repair its
injury to Col. Cheney's candidacy, in
its issue of Saturday, took this form:

as mayor we wish to make perfectly
clear That anyone should connect
him with its preparation is almost
beyond belief, but as long as the ques-
ton has been raised We hasten to
clear Colonel Cheney of all respon-
sibility. The first knowledge he had
Of the article was when he saw 1t IN
print.
This lets the colonel out of a dis
agreeable place, but it leaves him
open to the charge of stupidity in Be-
Iecting his political friends. Two, or
three more plumbers of this kind will
certainly kill all his chances of cleo
don. If he has any.
We regret that our contemporary
has not the honesty, nor the courage
to apologize in set terms to Senator
Speilacy, both for diScourteously and
1ispara gingly referring to him as
Tim" Spellacy and for accusations
that amounted to an indictment of
his honesty.
But nothing of the kind happens

by arnatters utterly irrelevant to the
original charges. 1t says that Spell

Roosevelt Progressive wing.
William Barnes, Jr., publisher of the
Albany Journal and chairman of the
Republican State Committee, who also
goes before the voters in tomorrow 8

twas said the frigidity was such as
to cause a Peary or an Amundsen to

in agreement in their advocacy of the

perhaps that will bring about thaW.
Many political prophets. however, be

was elected Governor Of New York In
