 WASHlNGTO NOW
Es.-.,....,

Washington Sept 14.-In a short address to a committee from Manas- sas, Vt, who requested him to at tend a reunion of Blue and Gray vet erans on Sept. 30. President Wilson said in part:
 My thoughts are mortgagedE be- yond recall for the present We are all hoping and praying that the skies may clear. but we have no control over ,tfat-on this side, of the water and it is impossible to predict any possible course of affairs.
 ttI find that it is impossible for me to keep promises of the kind which you wish of me. When I made that promise things were just beginning. and a great many things have hap pened since which have altered not only the aspect of our own affairs but the aspect of the affairs Of the world.
 My exerience here day by day is that questions turn up so suddenly and have to be handled so promptly, and sometimes with so much thoughtful discretion. that I really dare not let my thoughts out to other matters.
 q have been obliged to say this to all invitations. however tempting in Character, and I would not be worthy of your trust if I did not come to such a conclusion, because know that you want these international matters taken care of as best we know how, and ought not to send my thoughts af1eld."

Peter Hummel Asks John T. King About
 Paving and Garbage

To the Editor of the Farmer:
 A real address from the throne has been issued ito the citizens of Bridgeport by MT. John T. King, in the form of a circular letter, of which I have received a copy. There are to be more such addresses. MT. King informs us in this letter, on the mat ters of fire protection, streets, sewers. street lighting, sanitation and other matters relating to the governm ent of our city, because Bridgeport S great and sudden industrial expansion has brought us face to face with a civic problem of great magnitude, which is actually in the nature of a crisis
 Study of this document indicates that like other royal addresses it places much stress on the need of more money to be spent by those in power It defends Mayor Wilson s Warrenite paving contracts for the laying of a large amount of patented paving in Bridgeport at a high price and without comp etition, in the letting of the contract. And yet it gives us the assurance that mo political or partisan object is. involved'' in the first of the addresses from the throne!
 MT. King must have winked very hard at himself when he wrote this non partisan declaration. He cannot be unaware that he is quite generally known as the Republican boss of Bridgeport and that it is also gener- ally known that a city election is ap- preaching. Why should Mayor Will son not defend the notorious Warren ite contracts rather than Mr. King And why should not MT. King in his very broad outline of civic needs say something about the need of improv- ing the garbage contract which he holds Why should he be silent about the need of having more horses in the city's employ each bearing on it's harness the initials of MT. King? It is rurdored that Mir. Kings gar fbage contract does not cause him to lose money-qutte the contrary. But in the neighborhood of my home on Howard avenue the garbage cans are sometimes not 4emptied for g week
 Don't we need something more than circular letters from political boss defending the acts of his creatures and pleading for money to be spent by them, in hot weather when garbage most needs to be collected :? Don't we need, in short. an honest Democratic mayor who will treat the garbage problem. like other problems of the city in a truly efficient and economical manner? Nominate Nnd elect the right Democrat and no boss will need to make speeches from the throne in his defence.
