He was Afraid!

A reader wrote to us the other day
and said "I think you had better
put my paper in single wrapper, or
stop it altogether. 1 am afraid to
have it Known that / read it = it
might make trouble for me-"
Some foreigner ] think l hear you
say. Not at all. He signed COOL
old Anglo.Saxon name as common as
Smith or Jones, he is an American
all right; and We wondered what under
the sun he was afraid of, For you
know, we have been kicking about
this land Of tie free ever since We
could walk = and before, and we have
never met up with any thing to be
afraid of, so we must conclude that
what's wrong with this reader is that
he is afflicted with very large imagi-
nation which is working overtime and
that it has got him on the run.
Just to show how groundless are
his fears, we will state that the same
week in which this letter came, We
received twice the number of new sub
scriptions of any one week for many
weeks. If all the workers acted upon
The silly theory that this comrade did,
what sort of country do You thini
this would he in few years' I'll tell
you, II would he country inhabited
with the mos. spineless population of
slaves that ever wore chains.
And after all what is there to fear;
Absolutely nothing We have heard n
lot about fear and intimidation lately,
and we have racked our brains in an
effort to find something to be afraid
uf. but II has beer fruitless. OF course
VI some one will show us something
that looks scarey wen investigate Il
= we re open to conviction on this
scare stuff, il might be that there re
ally is something somewhere or Other
that can put the kibosb on US, bu,
until We meet il face to face, wei
jus. plod alo-.s In blissful Ignorance
q that sensation - fear. Maybe w
have missed a lot lately III feeling
this way, and we like new thrill n
well as any one, but we think tha
the matter Is being worked ovcrtim
a bit Take our advice comrades
md forget NIL this fear and intimidf
tim stuff - there Saint no suc
animal" " : unless YOU create II you
self. Don't play those kind Of joke
on yourself. Come out Of III

PASSENGERS SEEMED TO BE
 MAKING QUICK GETAWAY

Two young men who came from Danielson to Putnam in the automo- bile of C. H. Pellett, Danielson gar age owner, last week, acted SO strangely that it aroused MT. Pellatt's
Putnam patriot., 1920-01-30

curiosity and he has expected to hear that the young fellows were wanted. According to MT. Pellett's stcry the two young men came up to him in Danielson and asked to be taken to Putnam in hurry. They were about twenty years old and neither had an overcoat, although it was bitter cold
 As the car passed through Day vile and by crossroads the young men appeared restless and one of them kept his hand on the handle of the door. This first attracted MT. Peiletts attention and, fearing that his fares might try to jump out and give him the slip without stopping to pay for the accommodation, Mir. Pellett kept the ear ging at a good rate of speed that would have made leap danger ous.
 When the auto reached Putnam the young fellows said they were anxious to catch a train and jumped out Of the car as soon as 1t stopped and start ed to walk away Mir. Pellett called their attention to the fact that they had forgotten something. The fare was then paid without protest and the young fellows hastened away but, in stead of going into the railroad sta tion, they went through the subway and into the alleyway between the City Hotel and the building on the north, and there disappeared.
 It looked to Mir. Pelfett as if the two youths, for some reason. were trying to leave this section of the country as quickly and as quietly as possible.

WHEY EARNS MORE
 THAN DOES HUSBAND
so Superior Court Judge Refuses Mrs. LncZ Doherty's Petition for
 Support.

Mrs. Inez M. Doherty. employed in a clerical capacity at the Lyceum theater, is a capable young woman, judging from the testimony offered at the superior court where she has been seeking 10 have Ter husband, Charles J. DOherty, forced to contribute to- ward her support. So capable is she, evidence showed, that, assistant treasurer on the Lyceum theater she is able to earn more money than is her husband from whom she seeks support After getting these facts clearly before him, Judge Lucien r. Burpee has ruled that the woman is not entitled to the support she seeks.
 The evidence introduced showed that DohertN. who has been living in Orange. \. J.. and whose mother re- sides in Meriden, has not been work ing regularly since October and that his wife has earned more than he. It was also explained that he is support ing the child born of the marriage. Furthermore. MT. Doherty has eX- pressed a willingness to support his wife il she will live in the home pro- Nided for her.
 Divorce proceedings are even now under way. but it is pending the out come of these that the wife wanted support.

were next considered. o. F. Curtis said that the position of chairman IS important and that the responslb1ll- ties are great, considering the col lections each year.
 He added that the emolument for the position is small. It was voted to increase the chairman'S salary to $1.2OO. A1r. Gorbach then made a mo- tion, that the salary of the superin- tendent be increased by S1Oo. An amendment introduced by c. J. Dehm to increase the salary from $500 to S3,OOO was lost. The original motion was also defeated. It was voted to m crease the salary to S2,S00. The sal ary of the foreman was increased from $1.500 to $2,00O. It was voted to raise the clerks salary from 1,45O to Sl.- S0O It was decided to leave the ques- tion of salary increases for other clerks and stenographers until later date.
 Increases for the superintendent or !. poor and charity department investi- gator were left for later consideration The salary of the city physician was raised from $1, GOO to $1,200. The sal ary. of the superintendent and matron of the town home was increased to $1,400.
 Committee Feels Generous. The secretary of the board of pub lie works was granted an increase of $50, making his salary $1.65O. The pay of the superintendent of streets was raised from $1,650 to $2,OO0. The question of the city engineers salary was tabled. The assistant city engi neer's Day was increased to $2,5O0. The second temporary engineer will in the future be paid $1,200. The J h otcr tn $1,6OO. The salary of the superintend- ent of sewers , was increased to $2,OOO. The foreman of the filter beds was granted an increase, making his salary $1,400.
 The meeting then adjourned until Friday evening when the rest of the city employees salary increases will be considered. It was understood by the members of the committee that these increases are tentative and may be changed before the meeting of the common council.
