Norway Town Farm

Norway Town Farm
General conditions as to cleanliness
and care of food supplies, very good.
Repair, good. A new ceiling is needed
in the kitchen. Several floors have
been painted since the previous in
spection.
If vagrants are to be sent to the
almshouse it is recommended that
quarters entirely separate from those
of the other inmates be provided for
them and that they be required to
work.

Tramps are fed and lodged. Quarters
used for this purpose, one of the
rooms in the inmates part of the
house. They are required to work and
are admitted only on specific orders
given by the overseers of the poor in
each instance.
General conditions: Cleanliness.
good; repair. the house is old and it's
entire interior needs repair. particu-
larly new floors. plastering and
painting; furniture, furniture is very
old: beds and bedding. clean. Bed
steads, however, are old fashioned
wooden affairs. and infected with ver-
min: care of food supplies. good.
Arrangements elsewhere have been
made for the care of the boy who was
here at the time Of the previous in
spection.
In order to get rid of the vermin
with which the old house appears to
be infested 1t will very likely be nec-
essary to thoroughly repair, paint and
paper the entire interior, and replace
the old wooden bedsteads with iron
ones. With running water in the house,
if the supply is sufficient, 1t should not
be expensive to install the flush clos
cts and bath with hot water connec-
ton, which are SO necessary for the
proper care of this class of inmates.
Whenever 1t can be avoided, va
grants should not be sent to the aims
separated from those of the inmates
ought to be provided.

nearly all of the rooms: furniture, suf-
ficient; beds and bedding. clean; san
itation, good: care of food supplies.

to taking a bath regularly. This should
be insisted upon.
Flush closets. running hot water
and bath are needed, and with run

as IL they could be provided at a very
reasonable cost.
If vagrants are to be sent to the
almshouse 1t is recommended that
special quarters entirely separate from
the other inmates be provided, ana
they be required to work.
The superintendent of the Paris
town farm replies as follows:
II am perfectly satisfied with your

RUBLEE'S APPOINTMNT
SUSTAINED BY DAVIES
Chairman of Federal Trade Commits
sion Cites Legal Decisions to
Support Presidents Right.

Joseph E. Davies. chairman Of the
Federal Trade Commission. defends
the right of George Rublee to serve
as a member Of that body in letter
to President Wilson last night, in
which he fortifes his opinion by a
large number of legal decisions.
The document is in answer to the
Senate resolution offered by Senator
Gallinger. requesting by what author
ity Commissioner Rublee is now act
ing. Some time ago the senior New
Hampshire Senator blocked the con-
irmation OF Rublee by stating he was
personally obnoxious"
Chairman Davies. for the commits
sion, declares that the President has
constitutional authority to make re-
cess appointments, notwithstanding g
that the vacancy filled first happened
when the Senate was in session.
Opinions are cited to sustain the
belief that the work of Mr.. Rublee is
not a voluntary service" even though
the controversy develops he has not
been paid any money since his incum-
bency on the board in March, 1915.
Commissioner Rublee has a rough
road in his efforts for confirmation.
First nominated on February %. 1918.
the Senate adjourned without action
on the appointment On March he
was given a recess appointment by
the President. On December 10, 1918,
his name was again sent to the
Senate. and it was rejected on May
Is. 1915. On August l, 1915, Rublee
filed his resignation with the Presr-
dent. but the latter asked him to con-
tinue to serve.

TRAINEN SAY GOLDEN
GOOSE ISN'T MENACED

Oficisls of the four railroad brother
hoods yesterday, in a published state
ment, parallelled the situation to the
fable of the Golden Goose. The statement
follows:
Don't Kill the Goose That Lays the
Golden Egg
Every day or so this old bromide is
handed to the railroad men and, reduced
to a basic proposition. what does it
mean
I'VE remember the old story of the
chap who found out one morning that
his goose had laid a golden egg
Being an avaricious fellow, he wanted
all out of that goose he could get, and he
wanted it right away. So, he beaned the
goose, and thereby closed down the
works. The inference is that he lived
poorer. wiser. and unhappier the rest of
his days
This is old stuff; 1t used to be good
stuff. but 1t is not good stuff any more.
We have been feeding this goose
until It has become some goose
where it has not been squeezed too
much, 1t is a healthy goose, so there is
not much alarm over its general state
Of health.
TT is also a fat goose. and, viewing
all the phases Of the situation. railroad
men believe the admonistion not to kill
the goose, means keep on, feeding the
goose ten hours day and let the bosses
gather the eggs, which may not hold to
the high pressure average II the goose
Is fed eight hours a day.

ASKS CATHOLIC Church.
To GIVE UNITED Vote

my Nc"k serNlcc.t
New York, Aug. 22.-Roman Catholics
Of the United States were urged to or
ganize and make their influence more
strongly felt in national politics. at a
mass meeting Of the German Catholic
Central Verein at Cooper Union tonight
The main address was made by James
F. Zipf, OF st. Louis, head of Gonzaga
Union.
Although the speaker asked that the
5000 900 Roman Catholic voters Of the
country utilize their suffrage for the
advancement Of the work of the church,
he mad it clear that he was opposed
to a religious party for the purpose. He
said in part:
THE Catholic cause demands a full.
conscious participation in the rights and
duties of citizenship and the duties Of
civil life. The true Catholic is always
an ardent patriot. Citizenship and the
Catholic cause demand that we do not
pass up lightly the privilege Of suffrage;
that thereby we may assist in bringing
about proper conditions in public life.
I'VE have now in America some 16 900, =
900 Catholics. That means at least 3,OO0,-
900 voters. That is almost as many votes
as the Republican party polled at the
last general election.
That very number places in our hands
a power to be used in works of civic bet
terment, in works Of mercy and of peace
When the Catholic army is uplifted. let
1t be for construction, and never for de-
struction."

POSTPONED ONE WEEK

The case Of Julian Pierce, Socialist
orator. who was arrested a week ago for
speaking on the street without a permit,
was continued for another week yester-
day when it was brought up in the Po-
lice Court.
E. S. Brashears, chief counsel for the
Socialist Party, which has taken over
the defense Of Pierce, said that a con-
tinuance was obtained with the consent
OF the Corporation Counsel in order that
Pierce and other counsel might confer
and elect the manner of trial to which
Pierce will submit.
IF we lose our case in the Police
Court next Wednesday morning." said
Mr.. Brashears, I'VE will carry 1t to the
District Supreme Court. This is a free
speech fight, and if we do not win the
case earlier I think we have good
grounds for carrying 1t to the Supreme
Court Of the United States"
E. Hilton Jackson will aid Mr.. Bras
hears in the case.

RUSSIANS REST IN EAST AS
ALLIES BEGIN BALKAN DRIVE

London. Aug. 22.-Coincidently with
the news of the landing of Russian
troops at Saloniki for cooperation in
the ensuing campaign in Macedonia, Of
fetal and unofficial dispatches from the
eastern front during the last twenty
four hours report a lull along the whole
battle line, with local fighting still un-
der way in Volhynia, forty miles north
east Of Kovel, and in the Carpathians.
The belief prevails among some mill
tary experts here that the Russians are
content with the successes achieved up
to date by Gen. Brusiloff's great orfen-
sive in Volyhnia, Galicia, and the Car
pathians, and have decided to reap the
fruits Of the weakening of the teutons
during the last two and a half months
by withdrawing strong forces from the
eastern frontier for the Macedonian
campaign.

Corporal William Ahern Is the subject
of a cartoon publicly posted on the
bulletin board of Company H, and he
does not Ike it. 1t shows him with a
swollen jaw, and the legend tells that he
went to the city to see a dentist about
the swelling or to one side is a picture
of a private drilling hard and saying
Pretty soft Ahern." This Is what
Ahern objects to. L. Fowler is the name
signed to the cartoon.

When Troop A was having horse equip
ment issued to it the other day Private
]. B. Mulford came hurriedly up to Capt.

ceiving two left-handed stirrups. Sergt.
Bebout registered a complaint a little
later that his left stirrup was longer than
his right. Capt. J. H. Washburn says
that the ordnance department continu-
ally is making these mistakes and that
he had similar trouble with his last issue
of tent anchors, picket line, saber am
munition and other purely mythical sup
plies.
Because a playful artilleryman emptied
the powder from As caliber pistol cart

ment. He isn't any longer. The other
