GENEROUS DONATION OF TWO
COUNTY OFFICIALS YESTERDAY
AFTERNOON THANKS OF
BENEVOLENT SOCIETY.

| Yesterday afternoon a delegation
from the Beneyolent society ana the
mothers clubs of the city waited upon
the county commissioners and asked
for relief in regard to securing school
books for poor children of the city,
whose parents are unable TO pur-
chase them.
The commissioners were preparing
TO adjourn, and only two of them
were present, but they informed the
ladies that there was not dollar in
the contingent fund to do anything
with, that they are going to make an
effort the coming year to have all this
regulated. but for the present, they
are in no position to issue warrants
on the county.
The ladies were somewhat crest
fallen, and two of the commission
ers, Messrs. Taliaferro and Evans,
after a brief consultation, told the
ladies that they would donate fifty
dollars personally toward the fund,
and to go ahead and buy the books,
as far as the money went.
Right there was where Jimmy"
and George" precipitated what was
very close to an enthusiastic relig-
ious revival, when the mourners are
coming rapidly. The ladies shouted
for joy, some gave fervent thanks
to the Lord, and all were extremely
grateful for the generosity of the
commissioners.
This fifty dollars will go long way
toward helping them secure the
necessary school books for children
who are out OF school, and they be-
lieve it is only the first OF several
donations from other public spirited
citizens OF the city.

Are Democrats Sheep?

(From the Bridgeport Te1egram.)
Are the Democratic voters OF
Bridgeport a flock of bleating sheep,
herded by William F. Russell? So Mr..
Russell would have us infer, appar-
emily, from the tenor of his remarks
at the a1dermanic dinner Wednesday,
night.
Mr.. Russell is nomina11y rated a
Democrat, and he holds the office of
assessor of the city OF Bridgeport as a
Democrat. Furthermore he is leader
of the Democratic machine in the
Tenth district With some consider
able surprise then, Democratic voters
must have read in The Post of his
talk at the AIdermanic banquet, in
which he declared that he is for John
T. King and for Mayor Wilson. and
that If his ticket (the Organization1
is ever beaten in the primaries, he
will swing the Democratic voters into
the Republican column.
We have heard a great deal in
Bridgeport about the double chine,
and how Messrs King, Russell and
Walker have finger in both parties
and control the city through a sort of
political fnterlocking directorate. But
this is the first tangible, public con-
fession of the fact by one of those
concerned.
II am a member of the double ma

PUBLIC OPINION

The Editor of the Farmer:
Perhaps you have been reading in
New York newspapers lately a. NUM-
Der Of letters coming from seni-ofH-
ciaI sources in London in which "our
English cousins continue to beg for
and in some instances, quite openly
Claiming it to be of American adj
vantage to unite with them and their
Allies in bringing about the down
fall and disintegration of the German
Empire. They evidently see ultimate
defeat for their enterprise of terri
toria1 conquest, and indeed one OF
their members Of Parliament in a
letter admitted as much, when, in an
attempt to reclaim our fast diminish
ing favor for the Allies, he stated
that surely if the Mistress Of the
Seas" and the vast military organ
ization Of Russia and France could
not avail against Germany, United
States could never hope to defeat
them alone Certainly we do not
hope to defeat them alone! We are
not planning a destructive war on
GERMANY We have not the slightest
quarrel with that nation which, with
us, symbolizes civilization
AS to the prospect of Germany de-
featfng us, a prospect which tsour
English cousins have suggested to
us, well, just consider it. Germany s
offensive strength in this war, her
really offensive strength. is in her
submarine and her Zeppelin fleets
She is most successfully defending
her borders from the armies Of the
enemy, but her expeditions Of Of
fence have been largely due for their
success to her submarine and aero
nautical divisions. Her larger war
ships have been unable to accomplish
much, with the exception OF a single
raid which depended for it's success
ON the proximity OF the German naval
base to the British coast. And Ger
many's submarines and air-sfdps
would obviously be useless in an at
tack on our shores! AS with her
army, Germany's strength in the navy
was originally designed TO be de-
fenstve, as her great submarine and
air fleets show, ana yet because OF
