NON MEMORIAL TOPICS
Discussed by Some of the Speakers al the k., of C. Memorial Exercises.

Members of San Jose council. K of C., are expressing their regrets be- cause the sequel of Hon. Joseph O'Neill's admirable and sanely patri- otic address at their Memorial day ex- day should have been followed by a speech at the K. of P. hall that was clearly a political effort to prop up Comptroller Dunn, from whom the speaker received the appointment as his chief clerk at salary of $2,000 per year. Members say that no mat ter how efficient or inefficient Comp troller Dunn may be, the proprieties of a Memorial day forbid turning the meeting into a political rally. It was thought by many at the meeting Mayor Dunn's second address was more ap propriate for a political rally, at which time it would have been proper for him to get out of his system the sting of public criticism that is being made of his official acts as mayor of Willf mantle Thoughtful members of the Knights of Columbus feel that there is a danger that their order is being worked" by selfish politicians.
 There was much interest in the pub lie spirited suggestion of John Craw ford of Norwich, 8 former resident of Willimantic. that a movement should be started in this city to secure a sol diers monument. MT. Crawford thought the idea of a canal to make navigation possible between this city and New London harbor was not an impossible day dream to be realized in the wears to come.
