At midnight through the startled skies.
And there Was tumult in the air.

And through the .Uild land everywhere
The answering tread of hurrying feet.
While the first oath of Freedoms gun
Came on the blast from Lexington;
And Concord. reused, no longer tame,
Forgot her old baptismal name,
Made bare her patriot arm of power.
And swelTd the discord of the hour.

Senator Macdonald Votes Against Sun

Does Not Think It Fair to Towns in His
 District

Does Not Think 1t Fair to Towns in His
 District
 Senator Archibald Macdonald of Putnam voted against the so called Sunday bill that recently passed both branches of the general assembly. The bill gives local option regarding Sun. day observance to towns of ten thous- and or more inhabitants.
 The reason the senator voted against the bill was because its operation ex. cIudes all towns in his district and he does not believe 1t a fair measure to Putnam, Killingly and other towns in this section.
 "I would have voted for the meas. ure in a minute" sald the senator Mon. day morning, "if 1t had included the towns in my district. As the bill now stands question whether 1t is consti- tutional and ns to whether or net the governor will sign It,"
 Whether or not one believes in . broader observance of the Sabbath the bill ss passed does not seem . fair measure. Because . city the size of Putnam and . borough the size of kil- lingly happen to fall short few hun. dred population they are excluded from deciding for themselves whether or not amateur sports and moving pictures may be legalixed nnder the act while . city like Willimantic in the same county Is accorded that priv. ilege.
 On the face of it the measure secms to be unfair and to discriminate against the smaller towns end has raised considerable adverse criticism and comment. It is believed that with this knowledge of the Senator's reas. ons for falling to support the meas- ure his action will meet the general approval ,f his constituency.
