10000 Families .n New York Are Wondering How They Will Be Able to Move Today.
to Move Today.

New York. Oct. 1.-LaCk of under standing of New Works new housing laws. the strike of hundreds of nov ing van drivers, and forecasts of rain today gave the 75.O0O families of the city's migratory population plenty to worry about.
 Some of the confusion attending the annual fall moving day was all leviated, however. by the decision of anxious thousands to sit tight" as ad- vised by Arthur ]. w. lilly, chair man of Mayor Hylan's committee on rent profitecring and Charles Morris. president of the Van Owners asso- citation.
 Mir. lilly issued q statement assur- ing anxious tenants that they can not be eVicted even though other tenants have signed leases to occupy their homes. MT. Morris, in his ad- vice not to move, was actuated by the motive of keeping furniture in doors until vans could be secured to move if. If tenants became frantic, he said. and piled their effects on the sidewalk they faced the likelihood of seeing it hauled away by the street cleaning department.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
SoeiaNsna and Free Speech.

Mir. Editor: We have no desire to pre- long this discussion further than to make it clear that the suppression of speech or any political right plays no part in the case against MT. BoardHan.
 Thinking Citizen" has yet to learn that there are limits to thought as we'll as to speech. For instance. dispotant must not think that multiplicity of words and sentences is argument He must not think that the citation of one or more violations of a requirement. jus tifes or excuses another.
 Besides, the cases he cites do not ap- ply to the case under discussion. Mir. Boardnan's case differs in that he at tempts his street meeting in defiance of the law and in spite of the prohibition. This was not so in any one of the in- stances given. What a Thinking Citi- zen is really holding for is that in such case MT. Bosrdrnan is within his rights and has his sympathy. Even this ques- tion is in nutshell for if the mayor has authority to issue permits for street meet ings at all he has also the authority to withhold such permits when his judg- ment sees it for the citys best interest When in his judgment he has 50 decided he who disregards him is an open vielato1 and can only be treated as such. This is the case in hand.

GREECE AND vrsnrLos.

Just at the present time Greece is more than little concerned regarding the ill., ness of King Alexander, both because 1t appears to be serious and because of the efforts that are being made for the re- turn of Constantine to the throne in case of Alexanders death.
 Greece took q forward step when it disposed of it's king who was plainly under the domination of Germany and who was guiding Greece in accord with German direction. By the selection of his son to take his place there appear ed in Greece to be a general spirit Of approval and since Alexander was named the affairs of that country havs been characterized by progressive ac- ton.
 venizelos was guiding force in tn. nation at the time of the deposition ana he has since continued to be as the pre- mie- under the new king. That respon sible position he has discharged with courage and a keen regard for the DO sition of Greece among the nations o the world, as we'll as for the welfare ot the nation.
 Recently there has been a desire or the part of. Constantine to return te his throne This is being encouraged by certain circles in Greece which wer, especially close to him during his reign That there is no possibility of such <: change is, recognized with Alexander alive but with his condition serious al the result of a monkey bite those wh, are working for Constantines interest are not losing any time, though it can not fail to be believed that the countr. should and would turn to Vehicles il any new crisis even as it did before Greece owes much te his leadership.

 quick results.

Thousands of housewives have found that they can save two-thirds of the money usually spent for cough preparations, by using this we'll known old recipe for making cough syrup. It is simple and cheap but it has no equal for prompt results. It takes right hold of cough and gives immediate relief, usually stopping an ordinary cough in 24 hours or less.
 Get 21a ounces of Pinex from any druggist, pour it into a pint bottle, and add plain granulated sugar syrup to make a full pint. If you prefer, use clarified molasses, honey, or corn syrup. instead of sugar syrup. Either way, 1t tastes good, keeps perfectly, and lasts a family long time.
 It's truly astonishing how quickly It acts, penetrating through every air passage of the throat and lnngs- Ioosens and raises the phlegm, soothes and heals the membranes, and gradually but surely the annoying throat tickle and dreaded cough dis appear. entirely.

LAST CALL FOR ro-BE-MADEs,


 In spite of the large number of men and women in Norwich who have been made voters there still remain between 1900 and 1900 on the list of to te-he-naades. As was to be expected the new voters are mostly women because this is the first opportunity which has been of- fered them to be made voters and se- cure the full privilege.
 No matter what the year, however, there is always certain number whose applications are filed but who never take the time or show sufficient interest to go before the board and be made. There are still many men and women who can unquestionably quality and who will be given an opportunity to do so today. There are enough to keep the board working lively throughout the day, but from the slump in the num- Der made Saturday and the acquaint- ance they have with the many who fai to appear, it will be surprising to the officials connected with the making of voters if half of those who still have a chance to be made appear before 1 them.
 1 It is not possible to be made a voter every week. Advantage must be taker l of the opportunity that is offered To. day is the last day in which those whe have made application can go before tn, board and qualify, barring the few wht may become of age between now ana election day. There is certainly no tint when those who should be entitled tc vote should want to do so more than al q national election.
 To get the privilege of voting one must first be made voter, and thos, who are in town and not prevented b, sickness should make 1t a point to E, before the board and qualify today.

BRANDEGEE's CHILD LABOR
STAND.

In connection with the stand which Senator Brandegee. took relative to the federal child labor bill quotations from his speeches are made to give the irn- precision that he is opposed to chli la Dor laws
 Sight must not be lost of the fact that he recognized the unconstitutional fly of the child labor bill, that he was Euided by that fact in connection with his action upon the bill and that he ap- precisted the fact that those wao were enthusiastically urging the bill were doing 90 regardless of the constitution aity of it. Senator Brandegee was not obstrueting proper child labor regula. tions but what he had to say was di- reeted it would appear to tAcse who were determined to make the bill law whether it was constitutional CT uncoa- utitutionsl
 In the position which he took it can not De overlooked that he recei7ed from The state board of education at the time protest against the bill, which pro- test appears in the Compression Rec ord, it apparently being the position of the state board that Connecticut was able 10 provide adequate child labor laws without interference by or helr from the federal government.
 The position of Senator Branie-es :s perfectly plain and straightforward. He says: T did not think that, having sworn to support the Constitution I ought 10 vote for a bill which I thought violated that Constitution. I do not be lieve there is any use in attempting tc sell gold bricks to the people. # he people want congress to iegislate to de. prive the states of the right to Ore scribe the conditions under whsea theil children shall attend school taea the Constitution will have to be anande l If the people want the federal govern ment to regulate all their local affair, intsezd of regulating those affairs them selves, through their state government then they ought to amend the Clnsti tuticn and not ask me to viola.e my oath of ofice"
 It certainly doesn't count for much to criticize Senator Brandegee fo- re. fusing to do what could not be lagail, done and there is no reason to s,,-leos. but what those who are working for th, suppression of the child labor evil vii get his fun assistance when their ef forts are constitutional

THE HAITIAN AFFAIP.

It is of course commendable thu. Secretary Daniels of the navy depart- rent should name a board for the in- veStigstion of the situation which t has been reported existed in Hayti in con- Heetiou with the operations of our ma rines on the island, and that the in- vestfg1tors should h4 directed to g3 tc the bottom of the affair and get all the facts.
 From such claims as have been male it would seem that there is every req. son why full light should be turned un on the conditions which have existed there If t is SO the conditions are of such character as represented. tae7 svery possible effort should be mada tc have them corrected and to see that nothing of the kind is toleratai in tht future But what ssems strange in connection with the investigation $ that 1t has been delayed such a Iona time.
 Some at least of the acts abcu, which complaint is made occurred 2 year ago laet month and they wert made known to the navy department secretary last January. But it doesu'i appear that anything more was con. than to agree with the suggestion o' the couamsndant at that time that ther. should be thorough investigation yitl a view to punishing those guilty of un lawful acts But for the fact that some. one inquired about the results of inyes t1gStfng the reported conditions # seem. likely ths. nothing would have beer done, that the treatment of the Hay. ttzns would have been forgotten and the impressiSn gained amongs+ those people that what was done was in ac ecrd with the iyieas of this coun-ry.
 The action of the navy deparsrnent fl the matter eoesn't show that 1t has dis psyed the interest that would be ax pected.

UNITING AGAINST sovmrs,

That the soviet government Is no' going to be able to concentrate it's en. tire efforts upon the crushing of Genera Wrangefs forces is indicated by the report that comes from Warsaw to th4 reached between General Wrangel and the UkrainiAn forces whereby union of the two forces will be effected as soon as possible for the purpose of car. rying on a common war against the bolsheviki.
 This would seem to be action which might readily be interpreted by the so. viet govern ment as an answer to its of. fer of peace to General wrangel It in dicates without any question that there is no disposition to enter into negotia tions for the ending of the fighting General wrangel has the recognition ot France, the assistance of certain of it. warships and will have if it hasn't al ready received the valuable help of Gen eral Weygand who did so much 1T checking the bolshevik drive on War. saw

MT. Editor: Your editorial of recent date "A Partisan Plan" was called to mind Sunday when from the pulpit of our little Episcopal church was delivered the first political speech I ever heard from an Episcopal pulpit.
 This was under the guise of The League of Nations" and all that was missing was MT. Cox's picture which might have been hung between the Stars and Stripes and the service flag. While from this pulpit during the war we were told that Christ came to bring Peace on earth and good will toward men" and that through Him only could the nations of the earth be brought to- gether anw war cease today we were told it is through the inspired writings of Woodrow Wilson in The League ot Nations that this is to be accomplished This is the pahacea. l sincerely hope that not all of the ministers of our city will fall for this bit of democratic pro- paganda.

Speaking Against an Uae...stah..al Btn

Mr. Editor MT. Brandegee's opposition to the federal child labor bill may have been purely because he considered it un- constitutional. as your editorial of today states However. the following quota tions from his speeches would hardly give a sense of support to those who are work ing to suppress this evil.
 He says that while there might b. mills and mines and other places, where children work. which are not properly inspected, and several states which dt not have sufficiently strict child labol laws" the largest part of the country have what everyone admits to be pree CT child labor laws"
 The question is one of opinion ant degree"
 Tt is a question and a grave ques tion, exactly as to the age boy or gir should be allowed to go to work
 These people (who were working fo, child welfare) are enthusiastic abou this matter they think they are doinl the Lords work and that anyone wh, does not agree with them is an ally 0 | the devil"

After the dinner was over, the hostess said she would sign the check When she had written her name she turned to the waitress and said Perhaps I should tell you that am Mrs Blank, so there will be no mistake. My hand writing is rather illegible."
 The waiter picked up the check, glanc- ed at the signature and said: Wen, dearier you ain"t got nothing on me!'
