THE RIGHT TO CRITICISE

FN HE RIGHT TO criticise the government, in times is freely admitted. Tie Post has not engaged in criticism of the government but in unwarraned and triotc vituperaion of the government
 the The Post will scrutnze their editorial col period the began they will be amazed which it has been alleged that the govern mentis the enemy of New England Their dealings wN the enables them to know that such charge is England business men, they have had their share contracts and know that New England consulted by the in every department of the war They know intelligent men, that the peated accusation that the government is sectional mtgates against the solidarity necessary to the carrying cessful
 If the of The Post will personally consider the charges against the president and the government they will note that these charges not in the nature of honest criticism but almost always bare unsupported statements ade in vituperatve, irritable manner often with cunning that proves the desire say something unfair while seeking avoid responsibility for what has been said
 It would be fair criticism for instance, to suggest General Wood suitable commander-inchie But if the government selected somebody ese scong because of the would not be helpful criticism but injurious fault finding
 The Post has repeatedly reiterated that the president talks too much doesn't fight enough This the plain meaning of many editorials in which the idea is expressed sometimes directly and sometimes with cunning indirecton
 The very statement that the government talks too mach and doesn't fight enough" is in itself proof of unfairnes
 With every energy at it's command the government is rayng the nation for While the from time time negoae it forges the duty preparing war.

Italian societies in all parts of Connecticut will send delegations to this rally. It is expected that the theatre will be hacked from the orchestra pit to the last seat in the top gallery.

COAL ORDERS GAN NOW BE PLACED
 WITH DEALERS

The distribution of coal from the office of the Fuel Committee at 142 Golden Hill street stopped today and starting tomorrow orders must be placed direct with the dealers. Dealers will be held responsible for for pri- vate hoarding. The Fuel Commit tees office will continue to exist, how ever, and persons unable to get coal from the dealers will be accommodat- ed through this office.
 Fuel Administrator Carl F. Siemon has carried the city through the worst coal shortage in it's career. He es> tablished a system that was establish ed nowhere else in the state and kept the price lower than it was in any othr city or town in the state. The administrator set $1O as the price per ton last December, but when the price was increased at the mines he allowed a 50-cent increase for local dealers, which is now in effect. While Bridge porters were paying $10.50 for a ton of coal, residents of New Haven, Wa terbury and other cities were paying from SIP upwards.
 While the price was $9 per quarter ton, the overhead expenses of dealers were barely covered, but in New Ha- ven consumers paid $3.65 for quar- ter of ton. MT Siemon has sacrificed his personal affairs in the interests of the public and as a result of the steady stream of coal seekers at his home in Brooklawn Park, Mrs. Sic mon is suffering from a nervous breakdown. The administrators daughter has just been released from hospital and Mir Siemon himself has wilted under the strain. The administrator plans a rest trip for himself and family and will soon go to a resort in North Carolina In ad, dition to "doing his bit'' in this man. ner, MT. Siemon has given his son Sarl F. Siemon, Jr.,-to the country. The youth is a student at Yale Uni versity, but recently enlisted in the | Naval Reserve.

MURDERER OF MOTORMAN IS
 GIVEN 8 YEARS

NCOI4l114uCd IIOli cLSS 1.J Hams revolver struck him in the stomach. For a time Parsons did not know he was injured, walked in a drug store, but later collapsed. He died later in a hospital
 Williams was overpowered and held for the shooting of Parsons.
 In court Williams was represented by Robert G. DeForest, public de. fender, although charged with mur- der, the state consented to accept a plea for the lesser crime, there being no contention that he purposely fired at Parsons. In view of the previous good record of the accused, the fact he was intoxicated, and the peculiar circumstances under which he be- came possessed of the revolver led to leniency.
 With the conclusion of the Williams case practically all of the business for this term of court is finished. There have been about 80 cases disposed of, including one in which murder was charged.

REV. DIR. J. H. HERTZ.

Born in Hungary, educated in New York city-and today the Chief Rabbi of the British Empire-that, III brlets is the life story of Rev. Dr. Joseph H. Hertz The eminent Jewish scholar, who is in his 46th year, left America in 1913 to take up his duties in Eng land. His position as head of the re- ligious organizations of the empires Hebrews is one that is held for life, and as pr. Hertz is still young man, it is likely that he will hold the office for many years to come.
 Joseph Hertz was 12 years old when he landed in America. At 19 he grad uated from the College of the City of New York, and afterward became the first graduate of the Jewish Theolog- ical Seminary in New York. His scholarly attainments won the degree of Ph. D. from Columbia University.
 As a rabbi, r. HertZ's first charge was the synagogue at Syracuse, N. Y. In 1898 his reputation had reached to South Africa, and he was called by the Witwatersrand synagogue in Johannesburg. He became a power in the Transvaal, and aroused the ire of loom PauP' Kruger by demanding ! the removal of the restrictions placed on the worship of Catholics and Jefs by the Boers. He was expelled from the country by order of President Kruger shortly before the beginning of the Boer War. In 1912 pr. Hertz | delivered a series of sermons in Lon l don, and these attracted the attention of Rothschild. who insisted that he ac- cept the Chief Rabbinate of the Brit ish Empire. Dr. Hertz accepted md l left America in the following year
 after resgning as rabbi of large New | York congregation.

DOUBLE PROFITS
 ARE FORBIDDEN TO WHOLESALERS

Resides within the trade. which usually mean two profits before a. food commodity reaches the consumer have been forbidden for months by the United States Food Administra- t1on, but the. present situation in which many wholesalers, short. on certain of the approved wheat sub stitutes, wish to buy from another wholesaler who is long on this food stuff, has prompted the Federal Food Administration for Connecticut to is- sue an explanation of this General Rule 6, of the Wholesale and Retail Grocers Division of the Food Admin 1stration. The rule applies especially to on-perishables and it must not be violated simply because one whole saler may buy from another a certain i lot of goods, which he could not get as cheap direct from the manufactur- CT. This bargain feature is no extenu- ation because the food administration holds that the particular lot of goods, changing hands between the whole salers, would get to the ultimate con- sumer just that much cheaper if there were not two middlemens profits at tached to it.
 | The food administration will not or l dinarily make objection in q case where the one permissible wholesale profit on a particular lot of goods is divided and sha1Hd by two or more wholesalers. The food administration will not make exceptions to the rule against resales merely for the ptlr- pose of permitting a dealer, who is out of stock of a certain commodity, to replenish his supply from some other dealer in the same trade who may have surplus. The fact that a dealer is out of goods and will lose trade to his competitors, unless he is allowed to buy from some other deal CT in his own trade, does not in itself constitute reasonable justification for resales which would place wholesale or two retail profits on the lot of goods. There are many cases, there fore, in which such a wholesaler could sell a particular lot of goods to the retailer at a lower price if he could benefit by the carload rate from the manufacturer to some large whole saler at a point near him. In such instances. there may be reasonable justification for a resale within the same trade, but no general exception of the sort has been made.
 The controlling point is that one fot Of goods should not bear more thar lone wholesale profit or more than one
 retail profit, and that resales, certain
 ly of those commodities covered by
 the cost basis rules, should be made
 only under the control of the Fedora , Food Administrator or his duly au.
 thorized representative.
 As to the brokerage, the legality O. , commission merchant actually per
 forms a service, depends upon the le
 gality of the resale itself. If the re sale should be permitted, then a req
 sonable brokerage or commission i allowed to a broker or commission
 merchant who actually performs thu
 brokerage service in the particula1 case.

PRO-GERMAN BOOKS
 ARE THROWN OUT


 Books with pro-German tendencies were discovered and discarded at the Bridgeport Public Library several months ago, this being the first li- brary in the state to take such action. Following a request of the State Board of Education to eliminate these books Librarian Sanborn replied to- day that this had been done long ago. Herman Hagerdon of the Wig ilantes committee, acting in co-opera- ton with local library officials, exam ined all books in the Bridgeport li- hrary, before any request had been made by state or government officials and found five or six titles that were inclined to be pro-German. The books were destroyed after close ex- animation

But they were woven on Cheney looms in Connecticut and it is wonderful how the fabrics masquerade old silks In fact the designs are old and while the greater number are Oriental in effect, showing the influence of Chinese art in flower motifs, dragon claws and butterflies with curling wings, there are others which bring to mind the period of William Morris.
 The "Mysore'' patterns are Chinese and Jap anese in style dull shades of tan, god Oriental blue brown, copper green and yellow, rich in mellow ton
