LanderS After kiCtt.
(Waterbury Democrat)

In the state senatorial contests this year, which for the most part are giving the prospective candidates lit tie or no concern owing to the pecul- far situation of the districts, that of the sixth district looks like the most interesting. The candidates both have repeatedly met in battle and gone up to Hartford from this district, New Britain. But this year from all indi- cations, George M. Landers, demo- cratic candidate, is giving Senator George w. Klett the battle of his life to be returned. MT. Klett who incl dentally holds the self-appointed berth of prosecutor in New Britain is using the campaign slogan that he spends 365 days of the year in New Britain, which by necessity of his po- sition, he is forced to while on the other hand MT. Landers devotes half of his time in the interests of the state and at his own expense in Hart ford. It is a unique race that the Hardware city is enjoying, but the odds are gradually shifting to Mr.
 LanderS and it is almost a safe bet that the next 365 days MT. Klett lives will be spent in New Britain likewise

Editor of The Herald:
 It is with perfect right and sense of justice that some London newspa- pers have expressed uneasiness over a report that the Allies might leave Turkey in possession Of Armenia in return for free passage of the Darda- nelles."
 AS an American and an ardent ad- VOCate of the cause of justice and righteousness for which the heroic troops of the Allies are fighting, I can hardly believe that such an outrage ous and darinA proposition will ever be needed by the Allied Council. How can the nations of freedom and de mOCracy reconcile themselves in over looking the most horrible atrocities committed by Turkey upon the Ar menians and let the bleeding Armenia once more in the hands Of the un- speakable Turk?

Men Preparing to Enroll as Genuina Americans To Be Instructed at
 Evening Schools.

Classes in citizenship have been announced to meet in the various school buildings in which the even- ing school classes are held, and there is good reason to believe that they will be well attended. Many of thd candidates for citizenship are already enrolled in the evening schools but others are equally welcome to attend Women as well as men have joined each of the classes formed. This fact makes the classes more typically American.
 Paul A. Freitsche. a regular in- structor in the prevOcational school, will act as instructor in conducting the citizenship classes MT.

UNDULY SEVERE.

It is to be regretted that certain state of Connecticut make it a point of mixing into our politics and of criticizing our Governor in terms which are unduly severe. We believe that the Governor himself always welcomes honest criticism. and it has been the policy of this newspaper to him just as honestly according as the occasion arises. But we have no doubt that every citizen of Connect icut will resent the following slur on the Governor which appeared in the Philadelphia Record, strongly Re- publican newspaper:
 Connecticut seems to have an
 old woman for Governor in the
 person of an ex-judge, named
 Holcomb, who is freezing the
 very marrow in the bones of it's
 inhabitants by hints of dreadful
 doings in the land of steady hab-
 it's.
 
 erous position" he is quoted as
 saying If you knew half of
 what I know you would be scared
 to death, as l am sometimes I
 am informed there is a great
 deal of drilling going on within
 the state right now, and it is not
 in the interest of the United
 States"
 If the enemies of the United
 States are preparing to wage war
 against it on Connecticut's sacred
 soil, why does not the Governor
 stop it? Why talk about it and
 give other old women the hyster-
 ics?
 While some Republican newspapers In this very state have been very harsh at times in their criticism of Governor Hoicomb, we do not re- ndulged in such strong abuse of Governor Holcomb. We beg to in form the Record that it is in error when it supposes that we have an "old woman" for Governor. Although His Excellency did cause consterna- ton by the declaration accredited tC him. we do not think that there is any reason to be alarmed now, be- cause it is @ matter of record that this state has little or nothing to fear from -treachery of German agents, in asmuch as the United States District Attorney in Hartford, who directs the activities Of the Department o1 Justice and the various intelligence branches in this commonwealth, take! very good care to prevent any dis turbances, riots, Or explosions which might help the enemy in Connecticut

WHAT THE PRESIDENT KNOWS.

Those who had the privilege of hearing Homer S. Cummings speech in this city last evening must have felt it really worth their while to have attended the meeting where he spoke. Some of the most prominent citizens of New Britain Republicans and Democrats alike, manufacturers and merchants as well were present to listen to the acting chairman of The Democratic National Committee, the man, who is directing the cam paign of President Wilson's party throughout the entire United States. The truly representative gathering thought that MT Cummings would have something Of especial import to say--and he did. Mir Cummings is always worth listening to. but his mission to this city last evening was of colossal significance. as he came here direct from Washington and de- parted thither again immediately aft

President Wilson, and his words pro-

When a man in Mir. Cummings position, which brings him in close daily contact with the President, warns the voters that there arc pow CTS which are seeking to destroy the President, it is time tor every true American to sit up and take notice. It is time tu. every American who wants 10 s,t;rd by the President in the present crisis to make up his mind that he will do his part toward as sulin& the President a working ma that the work of winning the war, which he has begun so well, may be brought by him 10 i. successful con- clusion. He cannot dc this if he is hampered by an opposition Congress and this is no slight upon the loyalty of the Republicans The situation is simply this-the leaders of the G. 0. F. have denounced the President in language scarcely fit to print They have said things about him for which oth CTS have been thrown into jail. They are determined to tie his hands if they obtain control It is their avowed intention. Will they be per mitted to do it?
 These thoughts. suggested by MT. Cummings speech. should be borne in mind when Americans go to the polls next Tuesday. The President knows far better than any of the rest of us, what he must do to insure final, speedy victory. He said noth- ing when Roosevelt went about the country yelling for a declaration of war against Bulgaria. But within 4S hours after Roosevelts plea, Bulgaria surrendered. The President said
 
 demanded a declaration of war against Turkey. But Turkey has since capitulated and signed an ar mistice which amounts to an uncon- dtional surrender. And so it goes. The difference between the President and his critics, as MT. Cummings so well pointed out, IS this:
 THE PRESIDENT KNOWS AND HIS CRITICS DO NOT KNOW.
 pIishments of the President, and every true American must swell with pride at the thought that our country saved the day for the Allies, then we must give him a vote of ap- proval at the polls by complying with his request and sending men to Con- sress who are in sympathy with his principles.
 Congressman Loncrgan has stood by the President from the very first. He has not abused or criticized him. He has not said that he wants to see Berlin in ruins" because he is sat isfied that the President knows more about the situation than anyone else and that victory will be won without knows that if we wAnt to collect in demnity from the Huns that it would be foolish for us to blow up and de- strov their stores and treasures which must be collected as payment for the damage the enemy has done. He knows, in other words, that it is non- sense to walk into the store of a man 1 who owes you money and to destroy his cash register. And Congressman peace HE will make, because he 1 knows that peace will be made only ] by the President with the advice and consent of the Senate in which he has 1 no voice. Congressman Lonergan stands on his record, and his every 1 move has had the approval of the Commander in Chief of the United /. States Army and Navy, which is a

THE POLITICAL POT
Medicine in City, County and State, the
Old Pot BOils and Bubbles Fiercely.

The political pot is simmering
away. Just now, the legislative
delegation to st. Paul causes con-
siderable talk and consideration.
The Duluth Commercial club pro-
poses to have big word to say
in the election Of the member.
: It was recently announced that
Hugh Fawcett, a prominent con-
tractor and pioneer Duluthian,
will be a candidate for the House
from the ty-eighth district.
Friends of O. H. Griggs have
filed his name as his own success
sor as senator in the Sixty-first
district.
Friends and admirers Of w. A.
Pittinger hope and desire that he
can be induced to run as senator
in the Fifty-eighth district.
In line with the Rip-saw's in
formation in the previous issue,
Sen. Geo. NJ. Peterson has filed
again for senator from the Fifty
ninth district. It is expected that
David j. Erickson will be at least
one Of Mr.. Peterson's opponents.
Whether or not W. L. Bernard
will stand again in the Fifty
ninth has not been heard. 1t is
expected that representative Muir
ply will run again in the Sixty
first.
Senator Peterson's filing for
senator takes him out of the au-
ditorial competition. Most of the
senator's supporters who were
anti-Halden seem to have trans
ferred their allegiance to Walter
Bergen, which sends his political
stock up many points. AS the
days pass by, willin' Barkuses
seem to be slowly dropping out in
Duluth so far as the authorship
is concerned. This not at all in
conformity with the Halden well
fare or system, which may show
that he is slipping, slipping, slip
ping in that direction.
Considerable fog conceals the
situation as to most of the court
house offices and aspirants for
them. So far as known, every
man jack will seek reelection, un-
less it be that man of silence,
apathy and mystery, Andrew

BACCED THE BELCIANS' BEER
Thomas S. Wood COnvinces Municipal Court That

Chief McKercher cannot see a

within sight of his doorstep, but
he can find some Belgian family
whose home he can raid with such

disposal of garbage by feeding 1t
to hogs Melted the city approx
mately $4,000.
In Duluth, you will note that
the collection costs money and, on
top of that cost is the cost of dis
posal by incarceration. Garbage in
Worcester, today, is worth about
SIS a ton at the farm. This, you
will note, is a much higher figure
than that given for reduction or
for any other method Of disposal.
"You will find that the Food
Administration is at present get
ting out a bulletin which very
fully describes the operation of
the Worcester plant and shows
conclusively how much better this
method of disposal is than any
other method, particularly for the
smaller cities of the country.
aside from Denver, I know of
no city where the collection cost
and the receipts from disposal bal
ance. In other words, I do not
believe it is a fair proposition for
any one to collect and dispose Of
the garbage of a community with
an idea of making money on it. If
the city collects the garbage, it
might get a certain return on the
cost of collection by disposing of
it by feeding, but not the whole
cost. 1t will get less returns by
reduction and, with incarceration,
there will be an added cost.
81 trust that I have answered
your question fully and I wish par
ticularly to thank you for copies
of the Rip-saw, which found
very interesting.
II am, indeed, glad to see that
you are agitating an economical
method for disposing of Duluth s
garbage and I trust that you will
be successful in enlightening and
convincing public opinion Of this
vital problem of conserving gar
bage waste by utilizing it at the
present time.'
