THE INVENTION
 OF THE REVOLyTR

Samuel Colt, whose name is in separably associated with that type of small firearm called the revolver, was born on July 19, 1914. The weapon has been both a blessing and a curse to humanity, since 1t has armed the criminal and the assa ssin as well as officers of the law and other honest men. Revolvers in the hands of anarchists and fanatics have carried death to many rulers. and to innocent men. women, and children.
 Samuel Colt was born on July 19, 1914. in Hartford. the son of manu- facturer of woolens and silks. At 10 he left school to enter his fathers factory, and at IA he rsn away to sea and made a voyage to India. It was on this long trip in a sailing vessel that he conceived the idea of a revol- yer. and made a model of wood. On his return he studied chemistry, and travelled over the States and Canada featuring on that science. He was a fluent and entertaining speaker, and the profits of two years on the lecture platform provided him with money to continue his inventive work. In 1885 he visited Europe and patented his revolver in London and Paris, and on his return secured American rights and organized the Patent Arms Com pany. His first crude revolver did not meet with popular approval, and his company failed. Colts first real suc- cess was achieved during the war with Mexico, when Gen. Taylor, after a thorough test, ordered a thousand of the new weapons. The government order was executed in an armory at New Haven. The general demand for inc raynlI-erS nacalSi- tated a large factory, and this was built in Hartford. the inventors na- tive city. Orders were soon received from the English and Russian gov ernments for weapons which were used in the Crtmean war, and Colts success was aA3,ed- He died in Hart ford n 1884

SUBMIT PROTEST AGAINST FLYING
 IRISH EMbLEA Pastors Association Is OD- posed to Irish Cam

SEES HARM TO
 PROGRESS OF WORLD
Charge Hatred of England Want Policy of Hands
 Off"

The protest is printed herewith in full:
 The Bridgeport Pastors Associa- tion spreads upon it's records and sub nits to it's fellow citizens the follow ing mnute:
 'We note with serious concern the Irish propaganda now being carried on in our city and country under the name of an Irish Educational Cam paign,' and believe it contains possi, bflities of unmeasured harm to Amer ican interests and world progress
 We have always sympathized, and do sympathize, with all well ordered and unselfish movements aimed at an improvement of conditions in Ireland and an increase in the liberties and self government of the Irish people We wish to live in a spirit of frendli- ness with our brethren of the Roman Catholic church, and are ready for a larger degree of Christian co-opera- ton than they will as yet accord. We esteem highly the many true blue Americans of Irish blood who are our neighbors, regardless of race, creed or conditions
 Charge Hatred of England
 These things cannot blind us to the fact that the present campaign for pOllIlcal l1luepeIuenCe IS being carried on in a spirit of hatred toward England, regardless of widespread rr- form already accomplished, represen- tative government now enjoyed, and the agreement to some form of Home Rule postponed only by the war and disturbances in Ireland itself Under the plea of self as if that were a right regardless of ,.iI other rights, it is proposed 10 deprive a large minority of the thriftiest part of the Irish peOople themselves of all self-determinof:on, and in place of the democratic British Government which they prefer, to set up over them 9 government republican in name, but autocratic and ecclesiastical in reality. The justice of such a plea is at least debatable
 'In view or these obviously great difficulties we do not wonder that both the people of England and the people of North Ireland deeply re- sent unwarranted American inter ference in this domestic problem will which they are so sorely beset. Such resolutions as that lately passed by our honorable Board of Aldermen misrepresent a very large proportion of American citizens. We know well what Just resentment there would have been in the United States, in the sixties. had England officially sympathized with and recognized, as once seemed likely. the Southern Confectionery when 1t was claiming a right of self-determination, and rais- ed a public fund to promote that cause.
 Laud Great Britain.
 This is especially emphasized now by the splendid way in which Great Britain has behaved as one of our principal Allies in the Great War, l for four years protecting with her navy our coasts as well as her own from the ravages of German ships, l and helping to transport our troops. | It would seem as if continents of | g1Atituls and 1oyaity. f notAiag else.
