"An old hen walking the back
fence" is the smile applied to Moses
z. Clapp, junior senator from Mime
sofa, in the May issue of Hearst's
magazine. The article, which is
anonymous, is almost wholly an at
tack on the CIapp committees Of the
United States senate for it's conduct
OF the investigation into campaign
contributions. Senator Clapp himself
is condemned as selfish, timid and

Some unrestricted person." says
the magazine, thinking he saw a per-

Fire Department Of Paris.

Popular Mechanics: Much OF the
efficiency of the Partisan force is due
to drills in which various appliances
are used daily until the firemen be-
come thoroughly proficient. Drill tow
ers, with balconies and projections
similar to the six-story apartment
buildings of the city, are used with
scaling ladders, etc, and these appli-
ances are also employed for drilling
with extension ladders and the rescue
Of human beings by life lines.
The c~ourtyards OF some of the fire
stations have f%ireplaces with tall
chimneys for practice in putting out
chimney fires. Demonstrations are
given with a device by which ob~struc-
tions or disabled horses can be raised
and removed from the streets. The
same device is also used on dangerous
buildings, or in IN place where the
firemen are required to lift heavy
weights.

Failure of the Clapp committee to

chairman Clapp might have asked
those questions and forced a reply. He
might have called for Mr., Adbold's
telegraph files and letter-books, and in
that way uncovered the truth. But
Mr.. Clapp forebore. Never once did
he train his guns of inquiry in a way
to threaten Mr.. Archbold. . Mr..
Clapp, assisted to the weak bent of his
liabilities by the Intellectual Mr.. Oliv-

estly save upon what occasions he
sought to break the political back of
Mr.. Roosevelt, or went ross-question-
ing Mr.. Hearst as to how he got the

conduct of MI. Clapp, to say nothing
of the conduct Of the futile Mr.. Oliver

vanished Mr.. Painter. you might have
supposed that the one reason Of the

EVERY MAN HIS OWN ROAD MAKER

The rural method of repairing highway has alwas been to scrape turf from the side of the road to the center, to be washed out in the first rain
 No doubt much work like this will be done those twoays in August in Missouri when Gov Major of that state has called every able bodied male citizen in the raladistricts to work the highways.

The result commonly that every repaired the road his home If the appoint changed often enough, about every strip of highway would in few receive some work As a plan distributing favors, it worked eqtaby enough repairs of the most amateurish and tran sient character.

Some tolerable is now being written about the New Haven road Mr. Mellen has resigned but the board of directors which created Mr. Meen and guided and abetted management, has not resigned There evidence whatever that the practice of loading prop critics at prices onto the back of the railroad is the contrary such evidence exists shows the railroad will be separated from it's purchases trolleys and steam boats at bargain rates which that the gentlemen who proted when the stuff taken at the top of the market will profit again by taking the stuff back at the bottom of the market.
 There is evidence to indicate that the New Haven company intends to get out of Connecticut politics. even out the Connecticut capitol Now with office in the citadel government is the very railroad officer vo voluntarily before the Interstate Commerce Commission recently that he had $1O0O00 of the of the New Haven company and that he expended influence legislation in Connecticut zealousy and sfully that the legislation his employers wanted went through without a dissenting vote
 The New Haven situation is improved but it must improve great deal more before the ordinary citizen will find anything to make him feel congratulatory.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
IN JUSTICE TO THE GREEKS.

Editor Bridgeport Farmer:
 see by the Associated Press dis patches that the Greek army is being accused by it's enemies in Europe, es- pecially Bulgarian citizens and off, cfals, of committing atrocities contra ry to the rules and usages of civilized warfare. I was with the Greek army in the campaign of Epirus in Decem- Der, 1912, and January of 1913, all wit messed their conduct under all circum- stances. The army is properly officer ed by able and humane gentlemen, ScrupulOnsly considerate of every one.
 While in Epirus I saw their treat ment of Turkish prisoners. It was kind, friendly and more than magnan- imous. They gave their prisoners the same food their own soldiers were us- ing. They gave the officers of the Turkish army their salaries regularly, presuming of course that the Ottoman Government would reimburse them when peace would finally be declared. saw thousands of Turkish prisoners at the Island of Corfu, also in the city of Patras, and at Pha1eron, Greece. They were treated kindly and were well fed and housed, so I am compell- ed to believe these statements enina te, not from truth, but from a malicious and selfish desire to injure and destroy the fair name and prestige of the Greeks, as soldiers and sailors.
 I was personally with the Greek army of Epirus directly connected with the 18th Regiment of Infantry and eight batteries of field artillery, and I consider it only simple justice to this race to let the American peo- pie know that these stories are ab- surd, unfair and untrue.
 watched their conduct of the war and their treatment of prisoners and captured territory closely, they should be applauded and not condemned. The country of Greece is small, it is not over burdened with wealth, but they have shown great courage and true manhood in their policy of the war
