REPUDlATES CONFESSION

Farrell, Alleged Bomb-Maker, Says
He Was Coerced by Police.
New York, Feb. 6.-John Paul Far
rell, blinking through a steel-barred
gate Of the Tombs, repudiated every
word of Tuesdays confession that he
made the bombs which killed Grace
Walker and Madeline Herrera and
imperiled Judge Rosalskys life. He
said that the confession resulted from
"a hours of police ''bulldozing" and
threats that if he refused to say what
the police wanted, case would be
made out anyway and he would die
in the electric chair.
His narrative of recantation in the
Tombs began with CAS- God Almighty
is my judge, didn't do these crimes"
1t ended mournfully with the observa-
tion, They've got me down as a bug,
and maybe am one" He insisted
that he never knew how a bomb was
made until the police showed him on
Tuesday.

that the future Of the herd depends upon
the health and training Of the young ones;
and so they reooomend that buckets Of
milk should be handed over the ring fence
every morning specially fort the benefit
Of the little calves.
These, says Toistoy are like the advo-
Gates OF the feeding Of school children.
Still another group Of the the well-in-
tentioned ones has focused its attentions
upon the aged members of the herd, to
whom their sympathies go out, and rec
ommend that they should be provided
with warm woolen jackets, have their
hoofs seen to by a vetinary expert, and
their horns polished and decorrted with
colored ribbons.
These, says Tolstoy, are like the pro
moters Of Working Mems Clubs, P.S.A's
and such like institutions.
The moral Of Tolstoy's parable is clear
Efforts at giving effect to the native
kindliuess Of human nature are always to
be commended, but they can never
achieve their ends except in an atmos-
phere of liberty.
Why do those groups of well intention
ed persons not see that the firit and most
obvious thing to do is to pull down the
ring-fencei Why do they not pre-
ceive that in the bracing air Of liberty
the distressed animals would quickly re-
cover their serenity of temper and health
of mind and body; that in the better
conditions" which they would soon find
for themselves, their young ones would
grow up healthily, and their aged mem-
bers live their allotted span in peace and
As Liberals we must be distrustful of
every reform which does not include the
breaking down of the ring-fence of mon
opoly, and especially of that monopoly
in the use of the land, the source Of all
our material well-being.
