jta,es what he has done to prevent

States what he has done to prevent
these appropriations" These ap-
propriations are alleged to have oc-
CURED during the time 1S66-1914,
1s9O-1s9s, 1SS3-1s14, 1sS7-1s96
and 1S92-1S96. 1t will be noted
that during most of these years Mr..
Johnson was not in Congress.
We went to see Mr.. Williams and
told him we could hardly afford to
print this upwarranted attack upon
our Congressman, The Herald being
Democratic and in accord with party
adherence and practices. However,
we suggested to Mr.. Williams that
he send the article to Mr.. Johnson
and ask him for an explanation,
which would be a fair procedure.
Mr.. Williams declined the sugges-
ton. We then told Mr.. Williams If
he would loan us the article We
would send il to Mr.. Johnson our
self, Offering our Congressman the
privilege of explaining the matter
through the columns of The Herald.
This very fair proposition also met
with refusal from Mr.. Williams.
Then Mr.. Williams took the
article to the Hartford Re-
publican. which of course was glad
to get any material which would aid
in the election of the Republican
ticket. both National and State.
1t is the first time in The Herald's
knowledge that any county Demo-
crat has, through the columns of the
press, attacked the public record of
his own party's candidate who has
+ OF only made a splendid official but
is running without having had an
opponent for the nomination in his
own party and who has been re-
elected several times by large ma
jOrities, having at one time carried
every county in the District. Mr..
Johnson has made a splendid Con
in all that the duties OF
this office imply. Everybody knows
that. We have never heard that Mr.. |
Johnson allowed his religious views |
TO prejudice any of his official acts |
We can hardly imagine the bitter |
that must exist in the |
heart of a man who would oppose
such an official purely on the ground
hat he belongs to a certain church.
L has the appearance of being UNI
air and un-American and at vari-
,nce with the bedrock principles of
,ur national spirit and guaranteed
privileges.
The real animus in the premises,
Is we see it, is not that Mr.. Johnson
has failed to make a good Congress
nan or that he has committed any
in Office. but that his
)ffense lies in being affiliated with
he Catholic church-solely and
specifically. If this is not the cor
'ect dope" in the case, we invite
Mr.. Williams 10 explain through the
columns of The Herald Gree of
,harge) just why he makes this un-
warranted attack upon Mr.. Johnson
through the columns of the press.

WILLIAMS VS.. JOHNSON.

Mr.. James II. Williams, a we'll
Hartford, in the columns of the
Hartford Republican, seems to have
discovered a mares nest in the per-
sonality and public acts of Congress
man Ben Johnson.
Just why Mr.. Williams, who was
elected as a Democratic mayor of
Hartford several years ago, lines
himself up with the enemy and is
trying to defeat Ben Johnson, who
is running without opposition in his
own party as the Democratic nomi-
nee for reelection to Congress in
this (the Fourth District, seems
easily explained. Mr.. Williams is
opposed to Mr.. Johnsons religious
views and allegiance, which are said
to be Catholic. Mr.. Williams, who
Is leading member of the Christian
Church, would have probably felt
outraged if bunch of Hartford cit
izens had opposed him for Mayor
solely on account of his religious
views. Thus by implication he de-
MES the right of others in the mat
ter OF church afIiliation which he
holds inviolate himself. Mr.. Will
liams evidently forgets that the
right of any citizen to worship God
according to the dictates of his own
conscience is guaranteed by our Fed
eral Constitution and also endorsed
by our State document of like mean
ing.
few days ago Mr.. Williams sent
his little son TO The Herald Office
with note which enclosed the ar
ticle which appears in the Hartford
Republican over Mr. Williams sig
nature. The article recounts that
the writer has noted items in public
print how Mr.. johnson has saved the
Government and taxpayers large
SUMS OF money and that he is "al-
ways glad to hear of such savings"
Then he says he has (eyidently ask
ed for) information from the
Treasury Department TO the effect
that certain mentioned sums OF
money have been disbursed ION ac-

II is said that politics makes
strange bedfellows. This is aptly
illustrated by the strange mixture
presented in the late association of
Taft. Roosevelt, ,Penrose, Smoot,
Gallinger, Murray, Crane and
Hughes. A veritable gathering of
hardened politicians whose parti-
sanship is tested to the limit in the
strenuous effort put forth to beat
Wilson. The welfare of the people
is completely lost sight of in the des-
perate work of trying to unseat the
present occupant of the White
House.

Open Season For Campaign Lies.

The recent assertion circulated in
the Republican country press that
Frank Hitchcock, Taft's Postmaster
General, was the only head of the
Post-Office Department who ever
turned back money into the Nation
al Treasury appropriated for post-of-
flee expenses" is merely a reminder
that it is now open season for cam
paign lies. The fact is that at no
time did Hitchcock turn back postal
money into the Treasury, whereas
Postmaster General Burleson did
turn in $3,S0O.000 for the year
1913, and $3,5OO,OOO for the year
1914. and will turn in a surplus for
the fiscal year 1916, ended June 80
last, of about 100000. Regard

ton speakers or newspapers, write

New Britain herald., 1916-03-03

The fact is that other colora--yhites 1 yellow and sIate--are used by the country painters; red is almost un- known. Yet about every writer Sn.
 the schools in rural New England
 refers to red as if it were the only
 color in favor.
 A few years ago the Sunday Jour
 nal called for proofs as to the exist
 ence of any red schoolhouses, and many who were familiar with the country roads of Rhode Island ac- knowledged that while they had al- ways talked about the red school house they never had seen one. Finally red school building was dis covered over in Seekonk, near the East Providence line, but it was claimed that the exception proved the rule. The red schoolhouse appeals to the imagination, and the fact that other colors are preferred probably will not induce writers and speakers tc discard the ancient tradition about red schools dotting the New England landscapes. As the old-fashioned red paint is one of the most durable krown it is strange that some country school committees do not give the public a chance to see a few little red schoolhouses" and so support the ancient tradition with modern fact.

president reiterated that he did not desire a vote of confidence.
 It was indicated that the administra- tion leaders were laying careful plans for bringing the question up in the house, but MT. Pou refused to discuss them.
 Gore Springs Sensation.
 The decision to seek a showdown in the senate today was reached late yesterday after the agitation for q warning resolution had been brought to a dramatic climax in an historic debate by the declaration of Senator Gore that he had heard a report that the president had told congressional leaders in the conferences at the White House last week that a war with Germany might not be an evil to this republic" Sen- ators Stone and Kern who had attended the conferences immedi- ately denied that the president had said anything that might be so con- strued and the denial was reiterated in White House statement
 A tabl1ng motion was decided as the best means for final disposal of the Gore resolution when it came up today. Such mo otion shuts off de- bate which leaders of both parties re- gard as undesirable and likely to ag- gravate the mbarrassm which the president has complained of as result ing from congressional agitation.
 While the plans for ending the agi- tation once and for all in the senate were shaping up, leaders on the house side discussed how the same end might be accomplished there The problem was to frame a resolu, tion that the foreign affairs commit tee would report. The majority of the committee members are avowedly opposed to reporting any warning resolution, and when a committee meeting adjourned yesterday they still were talking of substitutes and com promises.
 It was understood last night that Chairman Flood was to undertake to ascertain whether the White House would be satisfied with a resolution providing that the McLenmore warn ing proposals should be tabled and putting the house on record as recOg- nizing the right of the executive to conduct the nations foreign affairs
 The committee adjourned to meet at 2:30 this afternoon, by which time it was expected that the issue would have been disposed of finally in the senate. Administration leaders were confident that action in the house ac- ceptable to the president would be 1orceo without much further delay.
