President-to be Warren G.. Harding
is now fishing for game of the sucker
tribe in Texas. Politicians have be-
gun to scrap as to who will be his
Secretary OF State, whether a bitter
ender who will scrap the League Cove
nant or Eli Root, who gave out an in
terview this week stating, at is very
unwise to declare the League dead. 1t
would not be true. A new deal from
the beginning by abandoning the YER
sailles Treaty is impossible. To at
tempt it would bring chaos and an en-
tire loss of results of the war and
general disaster involving the United
States"
Last August Mr.. Root was in
Europe and was foremost in making
plans for the World Court to function
under the League of Nations Cove
nant. He returned in October and made
a speech in favor of the election of
Harding who said he was opposed to
the League and that it was dead.
How is that?
Eli Root has more brains than any
other lawyer in the Republican party
and is for sale to the highest bidder.
His first noted case was that of at
torney for William NJ. Tweed, the
Tammany Boss, who ran away with
a big part of New York City fifty
years ago. His last noted cases are
to formulate the World Court and in
six weeks make a speech for a candi-
date for President who said, "The
League is now deceased" Of course
he got paid for it. Then in three
weeks give out an interview to the
contrary. Yet he has thousands of
political followers who believe he is
a political saint.

November 18th was the second an
niversary of the signing of the armi-
stice and the end of the fighting with
Germany, but legally the war is not
ended because the U. S. Senate has
not approved the Peace Treaty for
partisan reasons. The war will not
be ended financially for a hundred
years, as the Nation is now paying
pensions on account of the Revolution
airy War. Never before has the Gov
eminent issued war saving stamps for
the smallest money lender to help
finance the war and get the benefit
of accommodating interest on small
amounts. Therefore, continue to buy
War Saving Stamps. Help your Gov
eminent and see your dollars grow by
getting interest.

had been laid out and regular sched-
ules established. Fourteen inspectors
were assigned to see that the Jitneys
stuck to their routes, ran on schedule,
did not cut back before reaching the
end of their routes, and did not YER
charge. In fact the first day of jlt-
ney monopoly saw the people of
Bridgeport getting a good transporta-
ton service.
1t is true there was ~overcrowding,
but passengers were patient, eager TO
cooperate, and willing to make allow
ances. Very few complaints were re-
ceived and it is unquestionably a fact
that passengers were transported to
their work with greater speed and a
saving of time. The law which limit
ed iitneys to two standing passengers
was smashed to pieces during the rush
hours, but everyone was happy and
the experiment had been launched
most auspiciously.

The Republican sweep last week
was so big that counting the MAORI
ties continues. In fact, political lead
ers are wondering what to do with so
many new greenhorn legislators. The
people went hell-bent for a change.
Many believe they will get it before the
end of four years, and make another
somersault after having a vacation to
spend their money, never so easily
earned as during the past six years.
Most Democrats surmise what is
coming and are satisfied with the Re-
publicans bringing the change.

Nation Is Sick of ISLANDERS

William G. McAdoo, former Secre-
tary of the Treasury, in a statement
commenting on the result of the ma
tional election, said: "What the coun-
try needs is subsistence of the passions
and hatreds e~ngendered by the war
and the partisan political appeals that
have followed.
at is of no value to try to explain
the causes of the Democratic defeat.
The overwhelming Republican victory
has given that party the presidency,
and both houses of the Congress.
After March a, next, it will have en-
tire responsibility for the policies and
administration OF the government, and
cannot evade or excuse it's failure to
perform the promises it has made to
the country. Under our political sys-
lem it is always better to have one
party control at Washington than to
nave divided authority.
"The country is sick of political
ISLANDERS and controversies. 1t wants
domestic as well as international
peace and it wants restoration OF
that fine spirit of cooperation which
made America invincible in war. We
face domestic and international prob
lens of great gravity. The only way
to solve them is thru cooperation.
The highest duty of the leaders of
both parties is, therefore, to promote
better feeling among all classes of
our people, to refrain from unworthy
appeals to class and racial prejudices
and to bring to bear upon u serious
problems that dispassionate and intel
ligent consideration thru which alone
there is promise of genuine public
service"
Many will not agree with Mr.. Nc
Adoo. The old hates should never be
forgotten when founded upon dis
agreeable facts. The duties of Ameri-
can citizens to back up a Government
to make the German war criminals
fulfill their obligations during the
next generation must be maintained.
Catering to the many preludlces
founded upon social hatreds IN foreign
countries by people of foreign birth
who have not become Americanized
must not be forgotten but remedied by
education in American principles.
The hyphenated Germans, 1rishmen,
Romanist and Italians are a problem
as much as ever and their prejudices
were never before preyed upon by
politicians with greater effects.
1t is the duty of the next admins
tration to deliver the goods promised
at home and at the same time fulfill
international obligations abroad. Votes
gotten on SANDER, presentations, de-
ceptions and petty personal griev-
ances, made to surmount big wrongs
to be righted, will come home to roost
before four years.

taxation with the trolley COM
pany) would kill practically all
the bus business.
From all the data gathered in
the field from bus operators, and
elsewhere from bus manufactur-
ers, one must come to the conclu-
sion that IL to 16-seat buses
could hardly be run in Bridgeport
tor less than 20 cents to rs cents
a mile, without allowing for the
real taxes that an organized
company would have to pay.
The matter of physical limita-
tions becomes purely academic in
the light of proof that if individu-
more than 20 to rs cents a mile,
they can hardly prove profitable
ii the overhead and running ex-
penses are on the same order.
Advocates One-Man Cars
In conclusion the Jackson report
recommended the use OF one-mar
cars; use of two car trains during
rush hours; operation of buses by the
trolley company and a supplementary
service during rush hours, avoiding
however, the c~ongested area, anc
establishment of bus routes to iso-
lated parts of the city not served by
the trolleys. Mr.. Jackson further ex'
planned:
1t is plain from the facts on the
cost OF bus transportation that
rush-hour relief service would GER
tainly not pay in itself. There
fore, it is out OF the question to
expect it to be conducted by an
independent operator. 1t must
be conducted by the electric rail-
way at an apparent loss but a real
gain because of the greater eff
cheney thereby permitted to the
car system.

POULTRY PLANT AT GLENDALE FINEST IN
 THIS PART IF J. $.

The "Ellsworth Gardens" owned by E. E. Ellsworth of Glendale. is said by poultry experts and the govern ment poultry man to be the finest equipped poultry producing plant in the Southwest outside of Los Angeles. In the place there are 10 acres. which is planted to orchard; between the trees there is milo maize and hegira, which is used for feed. There are four separate breeds of chickens, namely Barred Rocks, Rhode Island Reds, White Wyandottes and Silver Laced Wyandottes. These are confined to separate runs, so that they are kept segregated. The flocks are continual ly being combed and the fryers are put in seperate pens.
 A hatchery has been built of adobe, with a double roof. the windows planned so that they may be left open and no draft will strike the incubators. In the hatchery there is a battery of four incubators, with a capacity of 240O eggs. These incubators are Of the latest type and have attachments for the turning of the eggs each day An even temperature is maintained by a hot water circulating system. In the rear of the hatchery is the hover room, which is modern in itself.
 To this wonderful plant has been added a wonderful invention, called a "Sexometer," which foretells before the matching of the egg the sex of the chicken. It is founded on the cleo tricity found in the living organism This may be used after an egg is laic and the sex predicted. However. if tho egg is found to be infertile 1t will no be used. Then in baby chicks the SC, may be foretold.
 The present flock numbers slightl, over one thousand birds and for siz' and laying ability they are unsur passed.
