tween these two paths. But all that is the scientific side of the thing which has little or no interest to those who derive their joy from the wonderful eerie light shed by the moon. To them it is the harvest that to a man standing on the Arctic Circle when the first point of the autumnal equinox comes to the west ern horizon, the ecliptic coincides with the horizon all around. Such phe- nomenon may be more strikingly ap- parent to an observer on the Arctic Circle, it is none the less romantic to those who are sufficiently removed from the equator to get some benefit from the harvest moon. Those who live on the equator miss the joys that come with the harvest moon.
 Having with us tonight the harvest moon, we scorn the knowledge that science might present for our better appreciation, believing that the less
 
 the keener the sense of mystification and enjoyment. To those who have not delved deep into the lore of astronomical observations the harvest moon is simply a wonderful orb that shines with pleasing features on the fields of new moWn hay and bathes the shingle roofs of country houses with a beautiful silvGry light. It is the harvest moon that comes up red over the horizon, looking somewhat like a golden sunset It is the harvest moon that as it climbs higher and higher into the heavens changes into a delicate paleness and lights the old world as it is seldom ever seen at night time, making possible the roam ing into an extended gloaming It is,-but why more on the subject? It is the harvest moon, the friend of young and old.

THE SILENT VOTE.

%ais is the day of independent
 rs. Wiseacres of politics feel that
 are not holding to party lines as were wont to do in the olden
 E. In the coming elections the in-
 Fndent voter will play a big part. <ublicans who are ardently sup 3lng local tickets will turn right
 md and vote for a Democratic
 ldent, and vice versa. It is com < to that. The man at the head of 8nationa1 ticket is sometimes bigger
 the party which he represents. In case of Woodrow Wilson this is
 e thing holds true in this state in
 lease of Marcus H. Holcomb. The
 gentleman from Southington is bred and esteemed by many people
 in his party, and he will secure a 2ber of votes from them. One *ble instance of this is the case of 1nel Norris G. Osborn, the ven- He editor of New Haven, who, af- Eelling that he voted for Governor bomb in 1914 for personal, and not tical reasons, has this to say: T Support President Wilson and will for him on the ground that in my 6ment, regardless of any possible kakes in judgment he may have de, the President has done more to Ehts country off the base of special flege onto the base of equal oppor- ty than any other President in my Hlection."
 hd there are a few million others believe the same way Colonel Os- does in regard to the President. |are they all Democrats. And they |vote for Wilson.

! is many years now since shoes of this style have been generally used and 1 their return is noted with interest and ! "reminiscences. | With the fall season rapidly ap- ; preaching, when leaves begin to fall, , 1 it is fitting that once more the public i be warned against building bon-fires
 of any sort in the streets without a [ permit from the chief of police. To 1 build a fire, even though it be only ! of dead leaves, makes the builder lia- ble to arrest and fine unless a per init has been secured. A complaint from any of the neighbors is sufficient ! to cause an arrest. This law was l made for two reasons. One, that the smoke from many fires of burning 1 leaves on the streets is very annoy i ing, particularly to people living in the section; and secondly, because of , the danger to life and property. ChiI- dren playing around the fires are in danger of being burned and sparks from a blazing fire, or even one that has been left smouldering, is a real menace to adjoining property.
 Paradise park, the little square at the junction of Smalley, Elm and Stanley streets, has become one of the eye sores of the city. But little prer tense of keeping it up as a park is made. The grass is allowed to die, refuse is thrown about. the place where grass once grew is used more than the provided sidewalks and in / general it presents an untidy, dilapi- dated appearance. This could be made into an attractive and useful little park and the city should take immediate steps to have it recon structed and kept in condition.

A FIuke Election?
(New Haven Union).

'The world will always recognize" says the Monitor of Columbus, Ohio, that President Wilson was elected by a f1uke, and not because his party had a majority of the voters or had the confidence of a majority of the peo- ple.''
 President Wilson's election was the same kind of "f1ulze' that the first election of Abraham Lincoln was. It was the same kind of a "fuke" that the election of Hayes and Garfield and Cleveland and Benjamin Harri- son was.
 Of the 12 presidential elections since the Civil War six have, by the definition of the Columbus Monitor, been "hukes."

NO UNCERTAIN SOUND.

1 Putnam Phalanx Hall in Hartford
 was the scene yesterday of an event
 destined to go down in history as a
 turning point in the nations career. ] Congressman F. Davis Oakley was 1 unanimously renominated by the re- | publican convention of the First Con- l gress1onal District. In accepting the 1 honors conferred upon him, the Con- { gressman made speech that was en- l t1rely out of the ordinary He de- 1 parted from the beaten track of politi- 1 cal oratory. Instead of conforming 1 to well known lines the gentleman l who has represented this district in 1 Congress for two years, and hopes to repeat his performances, branched out for himself on new version of peroration. What did he do? He
 dragged forth the bloody shirt issue
 or fifty years ago and waved it at the
 present administration; accused Will
 son of using the office of President
 of the United States for political and
 personal expediency; branded the
 Mexican policy as weak and uncer-
 tain; denounced the foreign relations
 Of the government, and harped upon few other things the people have never heard of before In the lan- guage of one expert reviewer, it was "a speech which had no uncertain sound"
 Of course 1t was a speech which had no uncertain sound. Would any, one expect Congressman P. Davis to voice sentiments other than those ex- pressed yesterday in Putnam Phalanx Hall? He is playing the game of politics; and playing it for all it is worth. When men become lost in the maze of that game they are liable to cater to any faction. To admit that President Wilson is great Presi- dent would be suicide to Congressman Oakley, in the logic of politics. Yet, l it should not be. Politics should not | be such narrow, partisan thing that l it's adherents must look in one direc- tion only. It should not narrow the 1 vision so that the arch of triumph l looks like a key-hole. The day is fast approaching when the American l people will weary of game that | draws such fine line of distinction and places men on one side or the other. Democrats and Republicans alike offend in the premises. The Republican orator stands before his brethren and tells them what a cowardly and cravenly lot are the Democrats, thereby eliciting great ap- plause. The Democratic orator faces a gathering of Democrats and de- nounces Republicans, securing the same effect. There is no good done by either side in following such tac- tics. Congressman P. Davis Oakley displayed originality in his speech yesterday. He made a series of state
 ments which contained no uncertain
 sound.

Fine Healthy Child

SIMPLE, INEXPENSIVE REMEDY

TO CONSTIPATION

the spot where he had walked.
He was on the spot age-u EoOut
ten minutes later and saw in the
street the puddles of blood of
people who had been killed. The
raiders came twice that night, at
9:25 and at 1890, and a total of
forty people were killed. He saw
the zepplins in the act of dropping
fourteen bombs on these two oc-
casions, but other airships than
those he saw dropped many more
bombs.
He looked up the exact spots
where the fourteen bombs dropped
and found that they had been drop
ped on or near hospitals, dwelling
houses, and in the streets, none of
them striking any public building
or railway station.
The zeppelin airships which he
had seen on September 9Th and
October 18th were estimated to be
between 500 and 700 feet in length
painted the color of aluminium and
cigar shaped. They are the color
of the sky and invisible except
when Illuminated by the search
lights from below
From his observations he believes
that while the zeppelin airship raids
over great city, are quite spectacul-
ar, make much noise, and kill people
without warning, they can hardly
be considered as an element of great
danger to person, or very destruc-
tive to property. A war machine
which must come and go in absolute
darkness to prevent capture which
is at the mercy of high winds and
must fly so high to keep out of
the way of the guns that it cannot
carry a great weight of bombs nor
accurately drop bombs on a specific
object, cannot be considered
very effective fighting machine
against a battle ship, munition
factory, fort or any other object of
military Importance.
London has an area of 700 square
miles and his observation of the
bomb-dropping leads to the con-
clusion that the airship raiders in
the darkness know only that they
are about this great area but do not
know what buildings they are over,
but merely drop the bombs at
random. This conclusion is borne
out by the fact, that the above IA
bombs examined did not hit military
objects or any public buildings.
Mr.. Hackley was born in Lincoln
Co., KY, and brought up here.
He acquired his first learning at
Mt Zenia, went to school ION the
hill'' at Stanford, and was gradual
ed from Centre College in 1895,
which institution in 1899 conferred
on him the degree of NJ. S. In 1907
he graduated with honor from the
Lawrence Scientific School of Harv-
ard University. Since then he has
been with the Western Electric Co.

spy, he reached London, being re-
quired only to show his passports.
On crossingthe English channel the
ship passed within so feet of float
ing mine which was the only other
disturbing factor on the voyage to
London.
On reaching London, all seemed
like calm after a great storm and
it remained so pretty much until the
Lusitania was sunk by a German
submarine on May 7, 1915, with the
loss of over a thousand lives, in
Guiding many Americans. 1t was
then that the English people in their
turn rose up and passed through the
same gyrations which the Belgians
had passed through nine months be-
fore, with the same amount of spy
chasing, etc. When the Zeppelin
air ships began to visit England and
make raids, finally eliminating in
the great raids of Sept. 9Th and Oct
18th, 1915, in which so people were
killed in the streets of London, he
had the unique experience of being
in the midst of one of these raids
and very near the other on both oc-
casions seeing the air ships illumin-
ated by searchlights from below as
they were in the very act of dropping
the bombs.
He relates that on Sept. 8th, 1915
the bombs fell very near his house,
the nearest being 800 yards, and
that the action continued for a pc
riod of from five to ten minutes, dur
ing which the tremendous detona-
tions gave one the impression that
the city was being destroyed and
that there was no escape.
Not knowing where the next bomb
would drop, nor how near it would
come, Mr.. Hackley acknowledges
those ten minutes were the longest
he has ever lived, seeming an eter-
nifty. On this occasion, one of the
bombs dropped from a height of
about two miles, fell within so feet
of a hospital, broke every window
in the building and broke, as he es-
Inmates, window glass enough to COW
err two acres of surface. This bomb
blew hole in the earth three feet
deep and six feet wide; blew down
statuary, filled brick walls with
shrapnel, blew the leaves off the trees
adjacent and broke windows 300
feet i.;m the spot wher, it fell. How
many years growth was scared off
the patients in the hospital no one
knows. Twenty people in all were
that night.
Mr.. Hackley says he did not see
any one where he was, show any
panicky tendency, although it was
the first experience of the people
in the neighborhood.
On the night of October 18th
when the second great raid over
London occurred, he passed along
street at 9 o'clock, twenty-five
minutes later, three bombs fell on
