A SERIOUS SITUATION.

Speaking at public meeting held in Queens
borough, New York City, Senator PolndeAter'
~ Washington. characterized President Wilson
as ..the greatest worlds menace The SEN
ator. after blaming the president for delay IN
ratifying the peace treaty, said that Mr. Wal
sons theories and suggestions regarding the
characterization Of industry had encouraged
radical labor leaders to attempt to bring about
"a dictatorship of the proletarlat, Whlch
means the Final overthrow OF our republican
form of government
..The reds of the world regard him as their
leader ), asserted Senator Poindexter. . His
abuse of power IN coming to the rescue OF tne
dvnamiter Mooney, in California, the murderer
Hilstrom in Utah, the anarchist Robert Minor
in France and in attempting to set aside the
processes of civil and military justice IN the
nnishment of these criminals, has justified the
anarchists and revoutionists In looking upon
him as their friend
MANY persons who weigh their conclusions
are openly charging that the administration Is
largely responsible for the present demands OF
ORGANIZED labor as shown in Boston; and IN the
steel strike the sole issue OF winch Is adImtted-
lv the unionizing of the mills. They point out
that capital and labor were more frequently
drawing together in peaceful settlement OF dis
putes and that plans for prott-sharIng and
recognition of the reasonable contentious OF or
ganized labor were gaining ground steadily up
to the time when Mr.. Wilson became president.
An era of TRADES against capital and of the po-
litical exploitation Of labor then began and cul-
minated in the astounding deal between fhe adj
ministration and the railroad brOtherhoods
which put the Adarnson lagvg upon the land. Since
then, and particularly during the war barter
and dicker between the government and organ
lied labor have been the rule; and finally we
have colossal strike for the unconcealed double
purpose of driving TIE conservative heads Of
the American Federation Of Labor out Of power
and communzing or bolshevizing the United
States
In a speech delivered IN the United States
senate the other day, Senator Hitchcock, Of Ne
braska, referred to :'the incorporating stand
of the president against bolshevism in its word
and deed Only recently has President Wilson

Truly Representative.

Washington Post: In his own per-
son General Pershing typifies the
American adventure. He was true
representative OF America in his
calm strength of body and will; in
his reticence during the crisis and
his modesty after victory; in his
eternal vigilance of preparation and
his bulldog persistence in execution;
in his ability to think in continents
and move by millions, and in his ad.
herence to the simplicity of truth as
the basis of Americanism. In all his
relations with foreign authorities he
was always happy because he was
always sincere and direct With
kings, field marshals and private sol

WE CAN'T LOSE BARNEY.

Barney Baruch turns up again. There may
have been apprehension in certain quarters that
we mi ght lose him when peace returned and the
war industries board of which he was the chair
man had ceased to function. But that was only
ia baseless fear. After arduous service as the
/" economic representative Of the United States
at the peace conference during which the
voucher for one hundred and fifty thousand dol
lars was passed to him so unobtrusively as a
poor and partial recompense, he has been lnvlt-
ed by the president to represent the general pub
lie at the industrial conference between CAPT
tai and labor called to meet at Washington on
October sixth to bring in the ''new order" and
e put the question of wages upon another foot
ing Other men more or less well known, en-
blowers of labor, theorists, socialists, doctrln-
aires. will take part in this momentous meeting.
The conferees will number sixty-six, now APP
pears, of whom organized labor will furnish
Ione-third. The president if he is sufficiently
recovered from his indisposition, will preside
over their deliberations and present as Is init
mated, brand new solution of problem that
has perplexed mankind for hundreds of years.
His exposition of the matter is awaited with
extraordinary interest; and it is no exaggera-
ton to say that the country will listen with
close attention when Mr.. Baruch displays that
rnasterful grasp, acquired no doubt through his
long experience in stock market manipulation,
of the principles Of political economy which he
NAV be presumed to have shown at Paris as the
:" economic representative of the United
States"

plainly come to see the threat to civilization IN
bolshevism, but it is perhaps too much to say
that he was uncompromising toward It's early
proclamations. At any rate, we have his pro
lnouncement of April 1917 wherein he said
Their (the bolsheviki of Russia) conception Of
is right, what is humane and honorable
ness largeness Of spirit and universal human
sympathy which must challenge the admiration
fused to compound their ideals or desert others
that they themselves may be safe
Apparently the dream at first attracted but
as it became working reality it repealed Mr..
Wilson, sympathy. In his most recent public
addresses he spoke with force and sincerity
against the radicalism manifested here and
abroad And may it be hoped that his present
stand is as uncompromising as Senator Hitch
cock declared.
The object of the radical leaders of the strug-
gle now in progress is revolution. There is not
the least doubt of that and there is not the least
doubt that the radical propaganda took heart
from the earlier expressed view OF the president
of the United States. European radicals are
attempting the overthrow of governments; and
Russian and German revolutionists, according
to dispatches from abroad, have decided on a
general strike at an early day in all Industries
in Germany, the dissolution of the army and the
overthrow of the existing government in favor
of communistic regime. The movement here
has begun little differently, but has the same
end in view. If the steel industry can be Grip
pied or destroyed, thousands of dependent in
dustries will cease and the land will be full of
voorhees, people at their wits end for the neces-
saries of life. Such conditions are the forcing
grounds of turbulence and disorder, and it is
this which the revolutionists seeking to
bring about.
The president is represented as now feeling
that all he can do is let the situation work itself
out But there are statesmen and many ordln-
airy people who believe that the crisis now de-
veloping is too serions to be sidetracked any
longer in favor Of consideration of a league of
nations.

TODAYS BIT OF VERSE
WALKING AT NIGHT.

NV face is wet with the rain,
But my heart is warm to the core,
For follow at will again
The road that loved of yore;
And the dim trees beat the dark,
And the swelling bitches moan,
But my heart is singing soaring lark,
For travel the road alone.
Alone in the living night,
Away from the 5abble OF tongues;
Alone with the old delight
OF the night wind in my lungs
And the wet air my cheeks
And the warm blood in my veins,
Alone with the joy he knows who seeks
The thresh of the young spring rains,
With the smell of the pelted earth,
The fearful drip Of the trees,
Making him dream OF the sound OF mirth
That comes with the clearing breeze
TITS rare and wondrous sight
To tramp the wet awhile
And watch the slow delight
OF the suns first pallid smile,
And hear the meadows breathe again,
And see the far woods turn green,
Drunk with the glory of wind and rain
And the suns warm smile between!
have made yagrant song,
For my heart is warm to the core
And Pm glad, OH glad, that the night is long,
For travel the road once more
And the dim trees beat the DARK
And the swelling bitches moan,
With the JOY of the singing, soaring lark
travel the road, alone.

Webster City Freeman-Journal:
There are two sides to the league Of
nations question, hence there is no
occasion TO get "all het up" over it's
discussion.
Rolfe Arrow: If the laboring man
has the patriotism we think he ought
to have he will withhold strikes and
all other disconcerting things until
the U. S. A. gets on it's feet and gets
its head once more.
Charter Oak Times: We do not so
much object TO the league OF nations
as to the idea that we must sign it
because Mr.. Wilson says we must.
Mr.. Wilson is a great man; other
wise he would not be president of the
United States; but there are other
great men, and some OF these great
men oppose the league. Now which
is right?
Burlington Hawk-Eye: There have
been quite number of explanations
dc not explain. And then the people
do not want explanations. 1t is sugar
that they want.
Knoxville Journal: The steel strike
is the opening gun in the struggle
for power between labor and capital.
There should be no mistake upon
that point. Labor is not striking for
higher wages, shorter hours or better
living conditions. 1t is striking to
obtain the virtual and actual control
of industry.

l Commenting on the substitute Port of Bridgeport bill now before the

 Alderman AfacF'ayd expressed the
 opinion that a referendum would de-
 cisively defeat the measure.
 The Port of Bridgeport can never

 Bridgeport will obtbain some revenue
 from the deal, or at least break even

 Alderman NaGFayden was asked if
 he believed the opposition would melt l if the sponsors of the measure showed
 clearly that it would be source of
 revenue to the city, and said he cer- tain1y believed it would.
 1 There will be a meeting Of the i Board of Directors of the Chamber of Commerce tomorrow. and future ac- ton on the bill will be fully discussed. It is believed that at the meeting plans will he formulated for again presenting the bill to the people of Stratford.
 Opposition to the measure is ap- parently developing along new lines in this city. Several residents, who have knowledge of engineering and projects. are strongly in favor of hav- ing Black Rock haTbor developed. Alderman Hogan, an engineer of no mean ability, has declared on several occasions that Black Rock is just as suitable for development as the Strat- ford section, contemplated. There is little doubt in the minds of those interested, with the exception If the officials of the Chamber of Com merce, that practically no opposition would develop, if plans were made to develop Black Rock.
