JEREMIAH O,LEARY.

MT. O'Leary was born in the United States, of ATnerican-born parents By profession he is a lawyer, and has achieved many notable successes at the New York bar. He first came into prominence in international mat ters when the British fleet. under com nland of Lieutenant Battenberg, vis- tied New York harbor for the purpose of making a. political demonstration in conjunction with a, similar demon stration, of the British fleet in the wa ters of Japan. 7i sssaI
 He has made a deep study of the political history of the United States in its relation to Europe. and following the negotiations of the Taft Arbitra- ton Treaties he took an active part in inducing the United States Senate to reject the treaties upon the ground that they were unconstitutional. in that they violated the sovereign rights of the people of the United States and Constituted an alliance for war be- tween England, France and the Unit ed States against Germany. As a re- suit of disclosures made by MT. O'Leary relating to Andrew Carnegie, in which it was proven that MT. Car negie was a disciple of Cecil Rhodes and was instrumental in negotiating the arbitration treaties for the Dur pose not only of preparing for war against Germany, but also for the pur- pose Of rGcOnQuer1I1S Ine tOniISO States as an integral part of the Brit ish Empire the American Truth So ciety was formed.
 MT. O'Leary was elected as its Presi- dent, and since that time has, in lec- lures and public speeches all over the United States, sounded warnings tol the American people that the American press, educational instftu- lions, American Bar Association, min isters of the Gospel books and period icaIs are engaged in carrying out the purposes of Cecil Rhodes. of Andrew Carnegie, and latterly those of Lord HaIdane as stated in his address be fore the American Bar Association in Montreal
 During the war Mir. O'Leary has de Iiyered public addresses in various parts of the United States on American neutrality. In a lecture recently giv- en at Carnegie Hall, in the city o1 New York, he exposed the infamy o1
 the metropolitan press by using ster- eopticon slides, and comparing head line accounts of the war in Europe with the authentic events of the war as they were later announced in every capital in Europe.

 Tn previous bulletin we gave some figures as to the possibilities of reduction of mortality by modern methods we might translate these vital statistics into millions, even bil- lions,@ of dollars of communfty wealth But it is not necessary. Suffice it to say that at the least calculation the hundreds of thousands of unnecessary deaths each year represent 9 loss of living industrial capital comparable with the loss of material wealth which has been sustained through prevent able fires, through bad roads, or through wasteful methods of mining. The loss of time through illness of the workers may, on the other hand, be roughly compared with the loss through unemployment. Let us all then rejoice that at last human beings have come to have a value as well as pigs, and let our public men and 1egis- lators no longer fear the change of ex- travagance on the part of the business interests when they vote the health budget. Hereafter they will be far more( liable to be charged with ex- travagance for not voting such bud gets

Shadows gently fall in the evening hour and sooth the weary after the tolls of the day are cast aside, when balm comes down from the etherial region, soft and soothing as the gentle hand of little mother, as silky as the down on the robin's throat, and envelopes the traveller of life's weary way, covering him as the placid Wa ters of the lake sooth the mermaid's brow, lulling him to sleep on the the world, as care free as a new born babe. Oh! These are the days! These are the nights!

While President Wilson was in Princeton, New Jersey, casting his vote in favor of a constitutional amendment granting woman suffrage, his fiancee, Mrs. Norman Boiling Gait, made the announcement in Washington that she was an anti suffragist. If for nothing more than political reasons Mrs. Gait is to be congratulated on her decision because it will mean for a United America. !. With President Wilson pacifying the suffragists and his bride-elect taking care of the "antis" there can be no doubt of how the country will vote at the next Presidential election. A combination like that should catch the votes coming and going.

WHY LEAVE?

It was not very many weeks ago
 when New Britain was rejoicing in
 the advent of new manufacturing
 concern,-now we are informed that
 one of our established industrial com
 panies is going to desert it's present
 stamping grounds and make it's way
 to Waterbury. Just why such a move
 is contemplated by the Waterbury
 Tool Company is not known. At
 this particular time when New Brit
 ain is passing through an era of
 prosperity with every prospect of be- coming one of the greatest industrial centers in New England, it is not en- couraging to see any one of its grow ing industrials pack bag and baggage and move to some nearby city. The Chamber of Commerce, so we are informed, was largely instrumental in getting the Hartford Auto Parts Company to esta blish it's business within the confines of this city and, with the same amount of tact and perseverance, on the part of those who accomplished that stroke, there is no reason why the Waterbury Tool Com pany cannot be induced to change it's plans and stay among the elite. Properly approached, the guiding spirits of the Waterbury Tool Com pany might be shown the advisability of remaining in New Britain. The going away of this company means the breaking up of many friendships, the severence of many ties, business and social, and the cost, in the end, It is understood the company may not leave until the beginning of the new year. If this Is so, the mem- bers of the Chamber of Commerce have a goodly portion of time in which to formulate their plans for keeping the concern here. While not to grant one company any more leeway, than any other firm, New Britain is anxious that it's manu- featuring group be kept intact; that it grow with the city and become fixed so that in the years to come there may be many pleasant memories of associations beneficial to all.
