WAR MADNESS

Some idea of the horrors of
the European war may be gained
by reading the details of the
fighting before Verdun. The
Independent quotes a staff cap
tain who wrote that between Sat.
urday morning and noon Tues
day, the Germans lost 100, 900
men. That was the price they
paid to regain positions they had
lost to the French A full bri-
gade, says the Captain, was
moved down in a quarter of an
hour by our machine guns. And
yet there are politicians in this
country who are not willing to
give President Wilson credit for
keeping our country out of this
awful conflict.

SAVED FROM PANIC AND FROM WAR

In his speech before the
Chamber of Commerce of Raj
eigh, North Carolina, Hon. w G..
McAdoo, Secretary of the treas
ury, made this statement:
1T is significant fact and it
is an achievement of which the
administration may we'll boast,
that when the country was on
the verge of appalling panic at
the outbreak of the European
war in 1914, it was the decisive
and adequate measures taken by
the Government at Washington
that prevented this panic and
laid a secure foundation for the
great prosperity we are now en-
joying. 1t was the leadership
and action of the Government at
Washington that saved the coun-
try in this great crisis.
What a contrast this is to the
lnetfectiVeness of the Republican
administration at Washington
during the panic of 1907, which
left the country PROSTATE for
many years and brought i'm
measurable disaster upon the
American people"
And yet there are some peo.
pie in these United States who
are willing to place the country
in peril by putting the G O. p,
back in power.
Not only in the magement OF
the finances but by keeping the
country out of the Europen wal
has the Democratic administra
tion earned the appreciation and
the lasting gratitude of the ma.
tion.

THIS IS NO JOKE

Mr.. Samuel j. Sellers is not in

enson.
Mr.. Sellers futher says that he
will make the race for the state
Legislature and that his candi-
dacy for this office can in no
sense be construed as a Joke.
His platform in this race will
be those principals for which he
has stood before and with which
the county is familiar,
While it is every mans right
to run for any Office to which he
may aspire, we are glad that Mr..
Stevenson's Chesterfield county
vote will be undivided.
AS a candidate for the legisla-
ture Mr.. Sellers will receive the
serious consideration that he de-
sevres.
Here's to your luck, Sam?

Plea For Imp Proyem9nt

Editor of The Advertiser:

zens oppose an extra levy for
that purpose. Without know
ing who is for and who is against
the extra levy, let us carefully
review the facts, weigh the evi

we may arrive at the true YER

a large part in it's develorm ent.

followed, deprived many of this

regret. How many men have

morrow. The future of this
country is in their hands. 1t is
our solemn, sacred duty t. give
them the best possible advan-
tages. Woe unto us if we shirk
that duty.
The present school building in
Chesterfield was built in 1908.
There were only fou. class rooms
and about one hundred and
twenty-five pupils. Today there
are still only four class rooms,
while there are about three hun
dred and twenty-five pupils.
The school has grown over one
hundred and fifty per cent in
the mum ber of pupils; its growth
in efficiency cannot be correctly
estimated, but it has remained
at a standstill so far as accom-
modatiOns are concerned. Yet
it is believed by many, that this
is the only High School in the
County that gives the State High
School diploma which will admit
to the Freshman class of any
college without an examination.
The auditorium and music
rooms have been utilized as
class rooms. And speaking OF
music rooms, let me say that nc
one who heard the music recitals
this year, but would say that
the fact that music is taught in
connection with the school. not
only reflects credit upon the
school, but upon the town, the
community, and the county az

A school needs an auditorium

Yet it is sald that some would
have them cut up this fine audi.
tOrium into class rooms, and
have the school do without 9
room where the entire schoo
may assemble for chapel exer'
cises, singing, or any public ex.
ercises, rather than pay out a

or three extra looms, which are
more than badly needed. They

done the tax payers by the extra

with the advantages 1T would

Community.
Let us look at the matuer from
a sOcialistic stan dpoint for a
moment. A man owns piece

dollars. A good school is built;
now people move in, the com
munity builds up generally as a
result Of this impetus given by

The owner of the property has
done absolutely nothing to make |
his property increase in value
from one thousand dollars to two
thousand dollars. The commun-
ity has increased its value. Has
that man any right to kick at
increased taxation, which is for
the benefit of the community?
No, for he has an extra thousand
dollars in increased value, which
the community has made him.
| Suppose the community should
go TO him and say: You have
done nothing but sit down and
watch your land increase in
value. we have increased the
value of your land by one thous,

When man becomes so i'm

MIGRANTS REMARKS
 WILL BE IGNORED
National Commission to Take No Mo- tice of Giants Manager Re-
 garding Brooklyn Game.

New York, Oct. 1.-The national commission will take no action on the statement made by Manager John McGraw of the New York Giants, that his team played Hstless ball in the game yesterday when Brooklyn cas- fly defeated the Giants and captured the National League championship. President John K. Tener of the National League said today that the commission would not take any cog nizance of McGraws remarks.
 "McGraW'S was undoubtedly wrought up over the fact that his team could not keep on winning" said President Tener The Giants were suffering from the reaction of their long winning streak. I don't doubt that McGraw said harsh things, but every friend of baseball will realize the fiery temper of the man who said them.'
 McGraW could not be found today to amplify his remarks which he made shortly after he left the Giants bench in anger during the fifth in- ming of the game yesterday
 Art Fletcher, the shortstop, and "PolP' Perritt asserted that the New York team played the best they knew how.
 Captain Jake Daubert of the Brooklyns says that Fletcher told him before the game that while he might like to see him win, the Giants were out to win the game, if possible Manager Robinson of the Brooklyns, an old friend of McGraw, said ne could not understand what could have prompted McGraw's remarks unless he was angry over the fact that the Brooklyns were beating the Giants.

THREE-CORNERED BATTLE
Kennedy, Palmer and Coe Seek Demo- cratic Nomination for Rrepresenta- tive in Fifth District.

Litchfield, Oct. 4.-With three aspirants for the nomination in the field, the democrats of the fifth con- gressiona1 district convened here to- dy to name a candidate for represent ative in congress from the district. The candidates for the honor were former Congressman William Kennedy of Naugatuck, w. R. Palmer of OX- ford, a member of the democratic state central committee, and Frank E. Coe, warden of the borough of Tor rington.
 The convention, called to order by Eli D. Weeks of Bantam, chairman of the congressional district committee was organized with John S. Addis of New Milford as chairman and Patrick A. Marren of Derby as secretary.
 Early in the convention attention was centered on a contest between delegates from TOrrington, one of whom it was said favored the nomi- nation of MT. Kennedy and the other that of MT. Coe. Soon after the con- vention had been organized a recess was taken until afternoon to give the various committees opportunity to prepare their reports. The report of the committee on credentials was awaited with keen interest as 1t was that the decision on the TOrringtOn contest might have an important bearing on the nomination.

That the plan, which in- wolves the withdrawal of General Pershing's forces, could be adopted prior to a definite understanding re- garding General Carranza's attitude respecting the reopening of mines and other industries was regarded as inn probable.
