MORRISON'S MEN BEATS THEM ALL
New Hampshire Editor Says Old Boston X Maine s4obby- ists Were Not In It With Educators Agents.

The following estimate of Henry c. Morrison, alleged author of the so- called Morrison code bill, which has very timSy, in view of the fact that much opposition to the proposed leg
 islation has been voiced throughout the state, by teachers, school boards and others interested in the welfare of the state. The letter below was written by Willis McDuffy, editor of a New Hampshire newspaper. MT. Morrison before coming to Connectt-
 cut was connected with the school system of the state of New Hamp-
 shire and is said to have carried out
 legislation there, along the lines
 which are now being worked in this
 state. Parts of the letter follow:
 "I will say regarding MT. Morrison
 that I did not editorially or personal
 ly oppose him during his office as state superintendent of public instruc- !. ton in this state. I am of Revolution
 ary stock and the love of liberty is
 Unborn. I was one of the 13 revo-
 lutionists who formed the progressive
 party in this state and freed 1t in the
 end from the control of the Boston
 and Maine railroad, but I want to say
 right here that in my opinion the old
 Boston and Maine political machine in
 its palmiest days, was not in 1t for efficiency with the machine built up by MT. Morrison to run our educa- tional system. MT. Morrison while
 here, was an absolute dictator. His organization was such that teachers did not dare oppose him or differ from his ideas. l have talked with ,, many of them privately who were bit ter but fear of being blacklisted and prevented from earning a living, kep, them quiet publicly.
 At the legislative sessions Mir | Morrison engaged legislative agents who. in the old days would have been | called plain lobbyists, and paid them 1 from the treasury of the teachers so- | ciety to further the measure he de- i sired, and incidentally these agents assisted to defeat any measures to ! curb Mir. Morrisons authority and al Sc on several occasions to help him ! get an increase in his salary. Oi ! course such agents were technically | in the employ of the society.
 1 We tried to get a State Board ot | Education or somebody to whom ar l appeal might be taken from Morri- i >on's rulings. but it was alway: 1 headed off. Everybody who had any 1 dealings with him agree as to hi: '; arbitrariness and dictatorialness. Al

BOLSHEvIK NOW
 AFTER HUNGARY

Vienna, Feb. 1S-The menace of Bolshevism has created a critical sit- uation in Hungary whose general outlook is considered infinitely worse than in German-Austria- Under the present government the condition of the country is described as chaotic and a serious Bolshevik outbreak is expected. With it's army disbanded the government is unable to offer resistance even if it had the courage and energy to do so.
 Public moneys, it is asserted, are being "squandered' at an appalling rate," and leading financiers express fear of bankruptcy of the state. The whole situation of the country is re- ported to be "inconceivably worse than at any time during the four years of war"
 The government is preparing to hold general elections but under the present conditions this appears to be a physical impossibility. There are no lists of voters, and the franchise has been extended from 100000 to 7,- OOO,OO0 including women who have been granted suffrage With part of the country occupied by enemies eIec- tions in these districts will be impos- sible, 1t is declared.
 The fear of Bolshevism is growing daily and everywhere the people are urging that the Allies intervene. They express the fear that the conditions now existing in Russia will be repeat ed in Hungary. Hungarian prisoners of war have returned from Russia ir..- bued with Bolshevik ideas and a>- spreading the propaganda It is the general opinion of the people that the karolyi Cabinet made a mistake in disbanding the army leaving the country at the mercy of the invaders. While the greatest dissatisfaction is expressed in political circles and among the people generally. and min- isterial crises are daily occurrences, no political party seems willing to assume the reinS of government. Count Karolyi appears to be the only | leader available.

by my desire to help the cause of justice and education. I have naturally been accused of personal animosity to MT. Morrison This Is a libel. When he took up his office did not know him except by reputa- tion- He was a Dartmouth graduats like myself and came to his position with a fine reputation.
 T had no reason for wishing him other than well. He was very extreme while here in his radical ideas on fads and new things in education He exemplifed more completely sSan any other educator I know of the modern tendency to superhciality and lack of thoroughness, which great ly deplore. He undoubtedly. wourc say that he was modern and old fashioned in these respective posi- tions and perhaps this Is true. But l think that he carried modern ideas to an utterly untoward extreme, and he would brook no interference or diff ference of opinion.
 T absolutely oppose any such edu- catona1 dictatorship as MT. Morrison would set up. It IS no less threaten ing in many respects than a political dictatorship"

CRECIAN RAILWAY NOW INEFFICIENT.

Adrianop1e, via London, Feb. 1S- Correspondence of The Associated Press)-Railway travel in this sec tior of Europe nowadays, is calcu- lated either to develop or shatter ones patience. A trip from Saloniki to Constantinople, which in peace time required less than fifteen hours, now takes a week or more. The correspondent of The Associated Press spent five days journeying from Serres in Greece to Adrianople-a distance which 8 fast American train would cover in less than ten hours. The correspondent travelled in a stoveless box car with Bulgarian sol diers who outdid themselves to make him comfortable.
 The British army has taken over the operation of main railways in Bulgaria and Turkey, and while the wretched condition of the German locomotives which have fallen into their hands, makes travel extremely slow, the service is unusually eff cient. The traveller is always cer tain of reaching his destination, how ever long it may take.
 It is this administrative efficiency on the part of the English that has made it possible for American Red Cross to transport hundreds of tons of supplies to points from Saloniki to Adrianople in Turkey to meet the urgent needs of Greek and Serbian refugees who are pouring back from Bulgaria and Turkey in ever increas- ing numbers.
 Not only have the British authori- ties expedited these relief supplies in every possible way but they have at several points turned over to the American Red Cross, large quantities of flour and other valuable foodstuffs It is no exaggeration to say, if it were not for this and other help on the part of the British, the condition of returning refugees would be hope less

SAILOR HATS.

Sailor hats are much in evidence this spring. One of the smartest noted recently is a wide brinmed model in a brilliant purple hue. This hat is perfectly round with a round medium high crown A band of pur- pie velvet encircies the crown and ends in q stiff airplane bow at the front.
 Undoubtedly the headgear of fight sng men has influenced the designers of hats for women for the. comins spring and summer A Tam of straw in the 1912 collection is made very much like the cap of the poilu. There is a shape much favored by the Pa risenne which is an exact reproduc- ton of the shape worn by French marshals during Napoleon's time.

night. Il says:
The trouble which has arisen in the
