Angels Have Fallen Out.

nat Amos Flncnol Shoulu nave CIV
en- 10 the public the text Of the ineHect-
ual letter he wrote to Col. Roosevelt pro-
phhesTiHg against George " ". Perkins,
whom he puts in the classification
used By that other Amos, Of the herd
men Of Tekoa, the kline Of Bashan,
which oppress the poor, which crush
the needy" will cause much speculs-
tion among readers Of political signs
and portents. Amos, not Of the herd
men Of Tekoa but of the moosemen
Of Armageddon, was joint angel with
Mr.. Perkins during the momentous
struggle Of 1912. He literally helped
George do it in that campaign. It
has never been intimated that he con-
tributed the worldly wisdom that
George did, although he can not justly
be blamed for that failure. But
through the enterprise and frugality
Of the late James w, Pinchot, he was
fitted to render great material aid and
his assistance was cheerfully received.
Whether he was actuated by principle
or pride in his brother Gifford's fame
was matter Of comparative indifier-
ence. Occasionally the apparent
inconsistency Of the prominence given
Mr.. Perkins, a man Of large and un'
popular affairs, in the battle for the
lord, was a matter OF comment, but
criticism was hushed by an explanation
from the highest source as to Georges
tender regard for the future Of his
children.
But following the election, rumors
were rife that Amos was dissatisfied
with the conduct Of George. There
vas hastily hushed scandal about
mysterious tampering with the trust
plank Of the Chicago platform, tam
pering laid at the door Of George.
But the manner in which Mr.. Per
kins scorned suggestions Of amalga.
nation, compromise or alliance with
the Republican party, parting company
with Munsey, Hannah and several
other fellow.workers and practically
all the rank and file on the proposition,
should have won the confidence Of
even a Pinchot. He and William
Finn Of Pennsylvania have stood out
conspicuously as last ditchers." The
colonel has decided to stay with George,
even after pursuing the indictments
contained in the Pinchot letter.
Hence it is strange that a copy Of the
letter is made public.
The fact that Clifford Pinchot is
a senatorial candidate in Pennsylvania
adds another angle TO the mystery.
He needs all the help he can get,
practical and sentimental. The Re-
publican primary vote was over $4,000
more than that OF himself and both
Democratic candidates combined and
nearly five times as great as his own.
1t will require some hustling oil un-
tied party to overcome this handicap.
1t must be distressing TO find his
brother in the role Of trouble maker
in the party councils. Is it possible
that Amos has grown weary Of the role
Of angel and has chosen this method
Of severing his Relationship the forces
OF righteousness1 But could he leave
his elder and more illustrious brother
in the lurch? Let US hope that
better explanation may soon be forth
coming.

When a person reads his home pa

When he reads the advertisements

When he trades with the merchants

Two automobiles were in d-on collision at the sharp turn near the west end of Labelle's building at Day vile. at o'clock Tuesday afternoon. The smash was due to the fact that neither driver could see the other un- til they were practically upon each other. The turn is one of the worst in the state.

WoRSTED COMPANY RUSHED,

EinnvilIe Plant Running Until g P. M.
 Business is booming at the plant of the Sonnhill Worsted company at Elmville, the concern that recently took over the property of the Elmvil1e Wor- sted company. Not only have they put their plant on full time schedule with an increased number of help but are running it until o'clock nights. The concern is also operating about half the machinery in the Sayles mill at Elmville and will soon have it all running. One connected with the Sonn- hill company said Tuesday that or ders have come in so liberally that it is almost impossible to care for them. The company is now employing about 150 people and the payroll is in ex- cess of S1,000 a week.
 It is expected that the work of in- stalling a new 200 horsepower turbine water wheel will be commenced at the Sonnhill plant this week. New machinery is also to be installed. The success of the plant since it was taken over by the new company measures up to all of the rosy forecasts that were made at that time and the ad- vantage to the town of Killingly geh- erally is so great as to be worthy of special notice.
