FRIEND OF MINE.

When you are happy, friend o. mine,
And all your skies are blue,
Tell me your luck, your fortune fine.
And let me laugh with you.
Tell me the hopes spur you to
The deeds YOU mean to do,
The gold you've struck. the fame
you've won.
And let me joy,-with youl
When YOU arc sad and heart a-cold,
And all your skies are dark,
Tell me the dreams that Knocked your
hold,
The shafts that missed the mark.
Am | not yours for veal or woe?
How else can friends prove true,
Tell me what breaks and brings you
love,
And let me stand--with you.
So, mhen the night falls tremulous,
When the last lamp burns low,
And one of us or both of us
The long, lone road must go,
Look with your dear old eyes in mino
Give me handshake true;
Whatever fate our souls await,
Let me be there.-with you.

GOV BREAKS THE LINE.

Governor Cox has led the democratic
party to the threshold of victory. He
has beaten the republican strategists
at every angle of the campaign and
has made the league of nations the
supreme issue.
When the republican convention at
Chicago named Warren c. Harding as
the leader of the republican forces the
G. O. p. "Old Guard believed it had
won the election. With Harding as the
candidate the republicans felt sure
that the league of nations issue would
be buried out of sight and that the
campaign would be fought on reac-
tionary lines.
At San Francisco the democrats
chose one of the ablest campaigners
this country has ever known. From the
day James NJ. Cox accepted the nom
ination until the present time he has
hammered the republicans in their
own strongholds on the league of ma
tions until the entire country is talk
ing about it, thinking about and will
vote on it.
President Wilson is to be granted his
Solemn referendum" on the league.
Governor Cox, Franklin D. Roosevelt
and the other democratic campaigner
have carried the message throughout
the country and when the ballots are
cast on Tuesday, President Wilson will
know whether or not the people want
the league or do not want it.
The issue is clearly and cleanly out
lined. 1t is squarely before the voters
The question is shall we go in or
shall we stay out?'
Do we want peace, progress and
prosperity?

Magazine and
Book Notes

The November issue Of Scribner's
Magazine contains a happy interpre-
tation of child life. Awakening, by
John Galsworthy. Blessed is the child
who is permitted to live unhampered
in the land of imagination as little Jon
did. Many a little lad who ate for
hidden macaroon in the moonlight just
before he went to sleep because his
mother was playing the piano down
stairs and the macaroon made the
music lever so more beautiful there
by inducing a rather terrifying night
mare, would not be understood and
forgiven so delightfully."- as was joins
experience The story is an ideal con-
ception Of the development of the little
boy mind. THE Gray valley" by
Alexander Hull is a story with an I'M
usual plot. Ben Woolford has been
acquitted by a jury; he killed a neigh
Dor in fit of anger, but the jury has
pronounced his anger justified and his
deed one of self defense. So after five
months of prison confinement he re-
turns home with deep appreciation
of the freedom that is his His pun
ishment comes to him, nevertheless.
The widow of the murdered man pre-
sents herself at Woolford's home and,
of her means of support. makes her
self a member of his household. As a
dog which has killed chicken is pun
ished by being obliged to wear the
carcss about his neck so Woolford
carries for years the burden OF his
crime: the acrid, vulgar, uncongenial
woman hangs herself a lightweight
upon his life. The dog with the
chicken on his collar had no more
loathesome a burden. Fortunately the
plot works to pleasant solution.
A Girl Named Mary.
A story without a villain is a COM
Portable surprise to chance upon, so
few stories can progress without him
in one guise or another. In "a Girl
Named Mary troubles and problems
exist without the aid Of a villain and
with very little assistance from any
thing in the nature of a hero. Mary
and her two mothers furnish the ac-
ton, and as might be expected from
such Feminine cast, it is largely emo
tional. 1t is not a big story, but a very
human one, and the nature of the plot
is such as to give it a wide appeal.
Mother devotion is the theme and is
theme and is treted sympathetically
from two ew-points, that of the
mother by adoption, plain working
woman whose love is the result of
years of active care, nd the real mother
whose love has for years glowed around
the memory of lost but cherished
idol This story, the work of Juliet
Wilbur Tompkins, is essentially a
woman's story. The publishers are the

The Courier used columns of space
four years ago, urging democrats to
support the nominees of the primary to

a number of them have voluntarily told
US since that they sincerely wish they

the way through. The same condition
is before the voters again. There are
independents in nearly all counties.

who FABRICATED in the primary to go
back to the polls next Tuesday and
support the ticket from beginning to
end. If they do not do this, the day of

Women on Election Day.

Women on Election Day.
Good citizenship means team work,
and it is an all-the -year-round job,
not merely a campaign stunt 1t is
not enough to let our candidates know
that we are checking up both sides of
election day; we must back UP both
sides of election day as we'll. Watch
the legislature, the congress, the bench
and the executive chair to hold up
their hands as well as to uncover their
records. Good government is a coop
erative affair. The vigil doesn't end
for the citizen with the counting of
the ballots any more than for the
candidates. The tone and quality of the
citizenry mark the measure of the
governments achievement. Official
heads cannot be much better than the
rank and file; they dare not be much
worse. Freedom is a growing thing
which is forever being won anew, with
each new institution. The citizen-ev-
cry citiZen-has a stewardship as well
as does the public official. The well
fare of our country checks our ac-
count. Together, with 1t, we are on
trial, and perhaps in this hour, we wo-
men most of all. For ours is the new
conservation, the long and special
preparation.-Mary Stewart in No
vember Good Housekeeping.

SWEPT INSECTS
 FROM TRACKS

Lansing, Mich, June 16-Litt1e progress was being made against the grasshopper pest, responsible for de- struction of approximately s400,00O worth of grain and crops in the west ern part of the state, according to reports reaching here, today. In a dozen counties farmers have organiz- ed under county farm agents to fight the insects and all available material are being sent in the affected dis trict by the State Farm Bureau.
 A report from Beulah today said the grasshoppers had reached the travelling size and swarnns were filling the highways. The engineer of an Ann Arbor railroad freight train was forced to station brakemen on the pilot of the engine to sweep the in- sects from the rails before his trair could make a grade.

WHY DID NOT MAYOR
 CALL ON STATE POLICE

Why did not Mayor Wilson bring the State police into Bridgeport to clean up the alleged 'vice trust'' here, and thereby save the city bill of $17,000. which will have to be paid as the result of employing detectives from the Burns agency?
 This question is being discussed to- day in police circles and by persons who are in close touch with city af- fairs. It is the general concensus of opinion that the raids would have been conducted by the State police in a. manner equally as efficient as that of the Burns men, and more convic- tions may have resulted had arrests been made by officers who were per haps better informed as to what con stitutes evidence.
 When the Department of State po- lice was organized a number of years ago, it was the principal purpose of the department to afford police pro lection to small towns which had no organized police department. In time, however, the work of the State police grew to include larger towns and cities where circumstances warranted action by some police force outside of the local department Such seems to have been the situation in Bridgeport according to the belief of those per- sons responsible for the Burns raids.
 A few years ago similar situation arose in Bridgeport The authorities secured information to the effect that various poolrooms in the city were be- ing used for racetrack betting ring. The State police were asked to take action, and they raided the poolrooms in question. Numerous arrests were made and many of the offenders were convicted. The expense of the clean up was borne entirely by the state, and did not cost the city penny.
 Why action of this sort was not taken in the recent vice crusade is the question which is now being asked Outsiders were brought in to handle the situation and the city now faces a bill of $17, 900 for the job.

HOLD MAN FOR BOMB OUTRAGE Two Others Believed Impi- cated Are Dis
 charged.

Waterbury, June 16-Vincenzo La- mantino, alias Vengini Amattino. al- legged to be the man who exploded a bomb on the veranda of the home of Sam Margaret and Charles Russo at 25 Division street last Sunday night was bound over to the Superior Court by Judge John F. McGrath in the City Court this morning. Bonds in the case were fixed at $5,000. Tony Garger, also arrested in connection with the explosion, was discharged and Giuseppe Lamantino, 19 year old son of Vincenzo, who was thought at first to know about 'e crime, had his case nolled.
 Evidence introduced by the state showed that the man ordered held had threatened to blow up the house The only evidence against Garger was that he was familiar with explosives, having worked in mines, at various times. Judge McGrath announced that this was not sufficient evidence to hold a man on.
 The bomb used was a home made one, a tomato can being half filled with powder and charged with bolts, screws and nails as shrapnel
 It tore big hole in the house and the escape of the persons residing there from injury or death was con- Sidered miraculous.

BELIEVE TROLLEYMEN
 WILL ACCEPT OFFER

Local members of the Trolleymen's s Union were casting their ballots to- day at the Smokers Home on Main street to decide whether or not they would accept the latest compromise offer made by the Connecticut Com pany officials at New Haven. The latest offer of the company calls for a sliding scale of wages of 60 cents an hour as a maximum rate to be reached by the men in two years. Op- orators of the one-man trol1ys will rceive 75 cents an hour.
 The poIls will not close until S:3G o'clock tonight and no official returns can be. given out until after the off ciaI count has been made in New Haven. The local sentiment of the trolleymen seem to favor ac- ceptance of the offer this morning, still as one motorman said, You can't tell just what the gang will do." Most all of the men are inclined to the beief that there will not be any strike and even if the ballots today show a refusal to accept the offer the men say the matter will most likely be settled by arbitration.
 General Manager John K. Punder- ford stated last night that the com pany had made their best offer and that the result of the referendum would deter1nine the future course of the company.
 The older employees of the local lines for the most part are in favor of ac- cepting the offer but the younger ele- ment are clamoring for the first de- mands submitted by the union for a flat rate of 75 cents an hour.
