PARLOR BOLSHEVISM

Dangers of revolution in our country em- anate from twosources- the over-educated col. lege theorist and the under educated toiler who takes all his ideeas from the soapboxer. Neith- CT of them is taxpayer.
 The great middle class, who have homes and pay taxes who read and think for themselves, who earn their living by labor or carry on bu- siness by their own initiative do not accept the doctrines of Bolshevism
 The son of professor at Boston, who is master of five languages has been arrested for Bolshevism and for the of language which consigned the American flag to the hot place.
 He graduated from Harvard at 15 and now he is twenty one years old and full-fedged Bolshevik.
 Chances are he would not know pick-axe or a crow-bar if he met them on the street. and could not distinguish the difference between trowel and dornick.
 He is a horrible example of the kind of workmen'' who do all their laboring with their mouths and who absorb fantastic notions about labor
 People have been known to recover from this by going out into the open and doing some real work.

GREAT OUTLOOK FOR LUMBER

Every western state is interested in the better outlook for the lumber industry
 Farmers are pushing building because the same amount of produce will buy twice as . much lumber as it would in 1914
 A 25O-pound hog would buy 525O shingles in 1914, and the same hog will buy 5000 shin gles at present prices of pork.
 In 1914 the money received from sale of 690 bushels of wheat would build barn 2e by 38 feet.
 That many bushels of wheat today will build the same barn, a thousand bushel grain house, an implement shed, poultry house, and the faramer can buy Ford roadster with the balance

FAIR WORDS, PARTISAN DEEDS

Acting as partisans though all the while dis claiming the motives and seeking to escape the odium of partisanship Republican Headers In Congress are opposing the League of Nations and signaling to the members of their party to join them in the fight Their pretensions and disclaimers are as insincere as they are spacious
 Senator Lodge, speaking in the Senate, an- nounced that the ratification of the covenant of the League lis not partisan question, ana never was," but his actions have been in con- stant contradiction to his professions He fathered the ''round robin which was signed only by Republican Senators He called con- ference of Republican Senators at the begin ming of the present session of Congress to for mulate opposition to the League. He help ed to pack the Foreign Relations Committee, which is to consider the League, so that its membership is preponderantly Republican He colllaborated with Senator Knox in the ln- troduction of the latters' resolutions demand ing separation of the covenant of the League from the treaty of peace. The packers of thls demand in the Foreign Relations Committee were all Republicans.
 Republican reactionaries in the Senate have shown by every sign and token that they are opposing the League with party animus by par tisan means and for partisan advantage MT. Lodge is the promoter and spokesman of this policy; which proves, in spite of all his dis chalmers, that he and his reactionary followers would make the League partisan battlecry.
 There are exceptions to this rule of Republi- can antagenism in the Senate. Several Sena- tors of MT. Lodges party-but not of IS fac tion-are supporting the League without ceas- ing at the same time to be Republicans. Out side of the Senate there are scores of thousands of Republicans who advocate the League and want all discussion and consideration of it kept free from political and partisan bias. They cannot understand why Republican Senators cannot be as free from partisanship former Republican President-Mr. Taft-has shown hmiself to be.
 Chairman Hays is now endeavoring to con- vince the public that he and other official rep resentatives of his party do not regard the League of Nations as a partisan issue. His chief difficulty, however, will be to persuade Senators Lodge, Knox and the other ''robins " that no such unworthy use be made of 1t.

The town Council will shortly adopt plans for the erection of town Hall provided for in the recent bond election. It is proposed that the building will be SC, planned as to include Councill Chamber Fire House and town jail. We suggest to the Council that the inclusion of jail in the Town Hall building is unneces- sary. The jail at the court house will afford ample room for the housing of town prisoners when there are any.

He said that it has always been custo- mary where the Besse interests have purchased properties, to erect a three or four story building to be used en- tirely for it's own business. 1t is like ly that on the site of the old Miller block will rise a four story building, containing about eight times as much floor space as the present Besse-Le- land store, and will be used to care for the expanded business. If these plans materialize, and they undoubtedly will New Britain will have the largest clothing store in the State of Con- necticut. The Besse-Leland company, which has been located here for the past IS years, has enlarged it's busl- ness twice and at present has far out grown it's present quarters.

 While representatives of the pack CTS today declined to discuss the de- tails of the decree under which the packers in the future will be required to confine the business activities to the production of meat, poultry, but ter, eggs and cheese, 1t was learned from an authoritative source that the outline of the plan had been agreed upon. ff

 Representatives of the packers ex- press the view that under the pro- posed plan trey might continue to manufacture soap and fertilizer as they are natural products of the meat packing industry. Some doubt was expressed as to whether cleansing powders is an animal product. One purpose of the proposed reorganiza- tion it is said, is to prevent the pack CTS from engaging in the wholesale grocery business.

DYED SUGAR HARMLESS
Pure Food Commissioner, Who Has Analysed Supply, Says There Is No Arsenic In It.

Hartford, Dec. 1S.-Dairy and Pure Food Commissioner Thomas Holt is- sued the following statement today as the result of his investigation of "rain bow sugar.:
 Numerous inquiries have come to this office regarding a sugar product known as rainbow sugar. The pop ular suspicion appears to be that the product is dangerous Or unwholesome, due to poisonous dyes. Arsenic has also been suspected.
 Samples thus far examined in the laboratory of the state chemist have been found to contain only dyes known to be harmless. There is no evidence that the sugar has been col ored to conceal inferiority and sam ples contained no arsenic.
 '"The explanation of the appear ance of this product ill the market is, according to- information which we believe to be reliable, that the sugar shortage has created an opportunity to divert to the general trade a con- siderable quantity of tinted sugar or dinariIy used only in confections."
