HARTFORD, CT, Sept. Is, 1920.
Harvesting is going forward at rapid
pace throughout the Connecticut Val
ley, says the Leaf, and the bulk of the
1920 crop is already safely in the sheds
Late-set crops have continued to i'm
prove steadily, though in some Sec
tons, where the tobacco was very poor,
the crops have not matured satisfac-
torily. 1t is estimated that not more
than 10 per cent of the farmers who
suffered losses during the recent disas-
trous hail storm, which swept an area
approximately Is miles long and miles
wide, were insured, and the losses of
the majority of the growers were
heavy. The very active buying move
ment which was launched Immediately
after the storm in the Broadleaf sec
tons has subsidized to very moderate
pace, although buyers are still active
in the hail-cut districts, paying an av-
erage of from Is to 20 cents.

possible as wrapper goods, in order to
obtain the highest prices possible. Just
what the crop is going to sell at is very
uncertain, though there seems no pros

erage.

Judge HARRISON compllmepted the
death b va bullet fred by himself,
members of the bureau and stated
that the District scarcely could get
along without them. He told them
that there liz a large and uDdeveloped
field here for the work of the bureau.
and that a large part of the activity
would neoe ssarily be in the prevsn-
tion of immortality. although their
activities would not be limited to
that.
Occasionally cases will arise in
which women might do detective
work more effectively than men,
stated Judge Hardison.
Judge Hardison took OCCASION in
his address to defend the bureau
against the numerous attacks that
have been directed against II.
Some of the hostility manifested
toward the bureau is on the part of
those who favor llcentiousness and
want a wide open city" he declared.
THE opposition of that class of pco-
pie is negligible as they do not con-
troll public sentiment. There is a
large number OF persons in sympathy
with the work that ought to be ac-
complished by the women's bureau,
but who are somewhat uneasy lest
the bureau might become excessive in
it's zeal and disregard certain essen
tials which are necessary to the pre-
vention of personal liberty.
The task of the womens bureau
is to preserve the morals of the
community without the destruction
of liberty. While the American peo-
pie realize that there is a proper
sphere of activity for women in po-
lice work, they don't want and would
not have guardians. Our whole
The Washington times., 1920-08-15

scheme of government is founded on
the theory that the American people
are able to take care Of themselvs
and public officials are agents and
servants OF the people, and not guar
dams.
Certain newspapers have spoken
of the failure of the court to CO.
operate with the police. The func-
tion OF the court is to try persons
charged with crime fairly and i'm
partially, while the function Of the
police is to arrest and make cases
against those suspected of crime
Judge Hardison warned the mem
bers of the bureau against attempt
ing to see him about a case before
it was tried.
1T always has been considered es-
sential to the fair trial of persons
charged with crime that the judge
who tries the case shall have an open
and unbiased mind" he said.
Therefore, IL Is improper for n
Judge to talk to anybody about a
case or receive information about IL
before the trial. l do not want any
member of the women's bureau, or
any other police officer TO talk TO
me about cases before they are
tried, although after each case Is
tried they might give me valuable
information that would enable me to
make the proper disposition of a
case.
Il commend the women's bureau
in their work They are doing valu-
able duties under a heavy handicap.
I regard Mrs. Nina G. Van Wrinkle
as a highly competent woman. A bet
ter one could not be found to head
the bureau"
