THE BAY STATE CONTEST.

More than the usual amount of in terest is attached to the gubernator- ial election in Massachusetts next week aside from the political rivalry. Governor Coolidge is up for reelection and he is opposed by Richard H. Long as the democratic candidate, but the contest is being waged not as might be supposed along political lines but or the conduct of the governor in connection with the recent strike of tho policemen in Boston.
 That any opponent should seek to make an issue of that affair is beyond understanding. Governor Coolidge recognized the seriousness of the sit nation, he recognized what was at stake and demanded that there be a rigid respect for the law and that the honor and dignity of the common wealth be upheld. 1t was a courage GUS stand put as might have been eX- pectcd it hurt the feelings of some who had more consideration for sell fish interests than for the welfare o1 the state and it is certainly a far fetched plea when the claim is made Nl4sll liF SONti HUI Io lehDOI.
 How fully appreciated is the ser vice that was rendered the common wealth by tue firm attitude and actioI CT the governor l. indicated h:' tn, wry iH which some of the leading democratic papers of that ;t1,e al, openly Gdvocatins the reelection Q Governor Coolidge and r. the actioI of certain candidates on the democra- tie ticket in boltins MT.

 ernor. This patriotic action of the gov. ernor's should never have been drag

 sense of the Bay State voters can b
 relied upon regardless of party to pill

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Horses vs. Autos.

MT. Editor: May I use portion of your valuable space for matter that l think deserves some consideration in view of the present high-cost of liv- ing, and one of the principal causes, of the same, namely. the automobile
 The motor car is proving itself to be real machine, of destruction, but particularly of human life, c
 From the earliest dawn of civiliza- tion until the present day the horse has been the most useful animal known to man. Whether in the van guard on the field of battle, or peace fully turning the furrow for the farm CT; whether mounted for the race or hunt or employed more hurnb1y as the motive power for the bulk of all over land transportation, tn horse has al- ways been a vital factor in the com fort, convenience and pleasure of mankind.
 In song and saga. in pictures and sculpture, in history and in romance the horse has been recognized as the boon companion. and the proud, but faithful, servitor of the human race.
 Did you ever see a statue of an au- tomobile? Whether national hero has been sculptured iii bronze or mar ble how often is he portrayed in com pany with mans most noble and use- ful companion, the horsei What oth- CT animal is so signally honored? Did you ever read a poem about the village garage? You remember. of course, the many beautiful songs such as the one beginning:
 The farrier's daughter stands at the door
 Watching the sparks from the anvil pour"
 You remember Longfeflow's 'tVilIa ge | Blacksmith" a charming poem of a noble industry, and many other similar 1 ones.
 The romance of the horse is inter woven with the tapestry of human l history. What a world of romance is | involved in the history of the horse 1 The rides" of Lochinvar," Paul Re 1 were, and Sheridant Carrying the

The Vote in Ulster.

MT. Editor: Continuing Ulsteriteis excellent answer to MT. Ringland's foolish statment that the other seq tions of Ireland seek to dominate UI- ster, take the liberty to present the figures fo rthe vote cast by the voters of the province of Ulster at the gen. eral election in December. 1918. Re- member the names of the nine coun- ties of the province of Ulster: Done gal, Derry. Antrim, Down. Armagh. Monaghan, Tyrone, Ferma,igh and Ca van. Here are the facts MT. Ring land, for seats in parliament:
 Cavan---Sinn Fein won both seats without contest. Unionists none
 Donegal-Four seats, all lost gy the Unionists; vote was 4,797 for Union- ists, 39.041 against
 Monaghan-Two seats. Unionists lost. Vote was 4,479 for and 21,497 agafnss Unionists.
 Tyrone-Two seats were won by an- ti-Unionists, one by Unionists. Vote was 3o,06S anti, and 24.993 Unionists
 Fermanagh-Two seats. Unionists swone one, Sim Fein one.
 Antrim-Four seats. Unionists four Nationalists, one. -@.
 Armagh - Two seats. Unionists won.
 OGIIy" I WO S0dIS. OnlOH1SIS NO1l. Note here that Derry City always call. ed Protestant heart or Protestant LII ster," was won by Sim Fein. proving this is not purely religious question anS that all ereeds are represented among the champions of Irish free dom. To sum up these MT. Ringland Go. will notice that of the nine coun ties of Ulster three voted overwhelm ingly anti Unionists, two gave sub stantial majorities against English rul and four for English rule with heav, opposition: Is this an indication c i outside domination?
 Honestly, you cannot fail to con | clude from these facts and figures tha Ulster desires liberty. Of the twenty three counties outside of Ulster tn 1 Unionists captured only one seat. Her
 is simple statement of total votes Unionists won 26 seats. Anti Union ists won 7s. Unionists' total vott i s0S.7f3. Anti Unionists' vote 1,2o7,
 151. Only one voter in five voted fo English rule Mir. Ringland," an Plain Facts" please note these fact
 Whose opinion should prevail-are lands voters, or MT. Ringland's?

WORKING OUT WEIL

The advantage gained b- the recent order of the war department 10 the effect that governors could appeal 10 the commanders or military depart ments for the use Of federal troous in case such became necessary in order to quell riots or prevent similar ,rou- ble. instead of being obliged 10 go all through The red tape of having the matter passed upon in Washington. Is well displayed not only by the way the troops moved 70 Gary but by the fact that within few hours after the gov ernor of Tennessee had sought help co maintain order in Knoxville the soldiers were on the ground ready for duty.
 The outbreak at Omaha was what brought about the changed situation. The delay that was occssioned there in getting troops into the city that were within trolieying distance brought about the needed awakening and it didn't come any too soon. n several instances since then in order Co maintain law and order. it has been necessary 70 call for federal assistance and the quick response has resulted ir the prevention or lot os needless trouble
 There can be little question but what the one who makes the sppea for federal assistance. especially wher state troops are not to he had. know. what he Is talking about and such be- iug the case the commander of tn, military district in which the uartic ular city is located is competent tc pass upon the appeal and desratch tn, necessary forces. Under previou, conditions that duty was unquestion ably left to him but he was forced f, await orders from Washington. It wa that delay that was agEravating ant it is that which has been overcome h, the prevailing situation. Tn view O the service that they are maintaine, 10 render j. is of the greatest import ance that troops should be availabl when and not after they are needed.

A new turn in the sugar situation is shown by the telegram sent to Sena- tor McNary by the sugar equalization board stating that it was prepared to wind up its activities since it was Impossible to get sufficient sugar from Cuba to warrant the continuance of the control.
 This comes at time when the sen- ate is consid\ ing or about to consider some new legislation looking to the continuance of the board and the au- thorization of it to purchase Cuban sugar.
 The life of the board expires the first Of the year and in spite of the appeals that have been made by the board and regardless of the needs for legislation nothing that amounts to anything has been done Sugar is advancing and there Is no telling where it will reach if the government control is relaxed and 1t becomes possible to charge any price that can be obtained for the sweet stuff
 But there can be no censure of the board for the announcement chat it is ready Co end its work. It has tried to get the authority to acquire Cuban sugar SO that the control could be maintained during the coming year until normal conditions in production and distribution return but it failed IL has presented the situation regard ing sugar at various times but its hands remained tied and the result now is that while Cuban sugar could have been bought at a certain figure a couple of months ago it cannot be today. Others have stepped in and acquired large amounts so that there is no great amount Of that crop to be had today at a reasonable figure. Even Cuba rises up to insist that it cannot be blamed for the situation. The trouble seems 10 lie in the fact tha the board was not allowed to buy when it could have bought right an, when it advised it While it is to b hoped that new legislation may hell the situation it appears to be like lock ing the door after the horse is stolen

A TESTED WEAPON.

It IS tested weapons that are trusted Just how far a rife will carry and what thickness of armor plate a can -7 non will pierce must be known hstore men will go with them into batt.e. No weapon has been more severely tested than the Bible. With the Word of God in his hand, Jeremiah took his stand against King Jehoiakim and won in the fight. And from that day to this the powerful of the earth have often been overcome by the feeble who have fought with the sword of the Spirit"
 Not only against outward foes has this divine weapon been victorious; it has many a time beaten back the hos IS of temptation that war against the soul. The Saviour triumphed, with it in the wilderness, and no followers of his who uses it can ever finally be beaten.
 The weapon of Gods Word is power 'ful against death itself Before 1t the king of terrors is driven back and de- feated. He cannot prevent the weak est believer in it's promises from mak- ing his way into the land of perfect and never ending joy

 A Connecticut teachers agency is advertising in a Massachusetts paper for teachers. Teachers are evidently so scarce in the state that it is neces- sary to draw on other parts of the country for a sufficient supply. The advertisement asks for high school, as we'll as normal school graduates. This seems to be2another evidence of the scarcity of teachers in the state when one remembers that not to many years ago a high school education was not considered sufficient equipment Tor teaching.
 Waterbury's board of education Is Iqevidently waking up to the ever in- creasing scarcity of teachers in it's recent recommendation that the re- ouested increases for Waterbury edu- cators be granted.

It means that the warships are going to be used for the purposes that they were built though operated by different hands and in view of the fact that any of the na- tions that may secure the vessels are sooner or later going to build more ships there is no good reason why these vessels should not be utilized for such service as they are available.
