EAST SIDE DOLLAR
 DAY GOES OVER BIG

Probably the busiest day the East Side has ever experienced was yes terdays East Side Dollar Day. Much credit is due the East Side Business Mems Association in their good work of getting the majority of the mer- chants to advertise and therefore bringing the people out in throngs from all parts of the city for the bar gains that were offered. Upon visit to the East Side vest erday each rner- chant was enthusiastic over the re- suits of the day, claiming it was a continual rush from the opening of their stores in the morning till late in the afternoon

 He said that having 'existed dr the Senate with Jerry Donovan~ and lived in the house with his wife," ii was a decidedly novel experience to talk and not be interrupted by either
 Declaring that no man in the trenches did more for his country than did Judge Thomas during the war. He claimed that ''he dealt Justice whole country that Connecticut had no place where the disloyal could hide"
 "In addition to being a, lawyer and a judge Judge Thomas is a. human being. There are two kinds of law those who blaze the trail Judge Thomas is of the latter, full, red blooded, kind which blazes the trail. and metes out justice with a human heart divinely inspired"
 He ended his short but fervent speech by saying: Judge Thomas is appreciated and respected by his fel- low judgss in every jurisdiction and there is no greater tribute that a man can have than that which he possesses-to be loved at home and respected aibroad-'
 Judge Thomas responded with evil dent feeling saying in part: '1 feel myself unable to express properly my appreciation of this outward and friendly sign of an inwardly tender grace and manifestation of good fel- lowship."
 He followed his acknowledgernent of the honor paid him by urging a larger, broader, and more intelligent citizenship, and declared that the ideal citizen believed in freedom of speech, liberty of thought, in laughter and song, and the fatherhood of God. and that his constant thought should be forward"
 The committee who had charge of the arrangements consisted of F. l. Jones, J. D. Milne and M. J. Howard.

 Judge E. s. Thomas

of the most sacred things on earth and a thing for which a world heart
 sore and hungry is crying. The whole
 thing man needs in democracy is con-
 tained in that one word 'justice'.-

 divinity it is the work of the judge.
 to be judge and requires a higher
 harder kind of courage than that | called for in the excitement of battle 1 moral courage"
 Judges and lawyers carry a mes sage from the generations which are past to the present generation and through that to the generations l which are to come and the message Thomas is trying to do. What would happen he asked, Eff in this country of ours the time ever came when we 1 lost that bit of idealism which we | throw around the men who deal in justice"
 Then becoming more personal. he said: Judge Thomas comes from Illinois. All wise men come from H. inois and the wiser they are the sooner they come- We are glad that the Judge came and he holds care fully and well an affection which is hard to express"
 Porter Emerson Browne introduc- ed as a man who was known all over the country and collected larger fees than most lawyers and Judges, said he should not be on the program be- cause of his reputation as an ''apos- tie of gloom He commented on how fortunate it was for Judge Thomas that there was no 'open season. here for judges as there had been in Russia for the past two years. it being permissible there to shoot them in the summer, on the nest or any way one liked.
 He said he was glad the Judge had come to Norwalk and now that they had found him as nice as his wife everything was all right.
 Homer Cummings defined the 'Fbench'' as being a place sat upon by members of the bar who were in turn sat upon by the bench.' For a moment in reminiscent mood he re- called the old days when a Justice Court was held in Newtown under an apple tree in the orchard with more or less unconventional and amusing features.
 He said he had known Judge Thomas for many years under many varied and trying circumstances and had come to have great regard, re- spect and affection for him, compli- during the last eight years in his present position and said he consid- cred nothing could be finer than the tribute paid him by the dinner, and knew the Judge as I know him and compliment you on having Judge Thomas as a citizen of Norwalk.
 Thomas Spellacy said that he was advised by his wife to make his speech Hong enough to cover the subject and short enough to be inter esting." He was very successful in following her directions.

FRIDAY JANUARY Il. 1870
Accumulated Wealth
National DeCdQ.

A New York dispatch recently
stated that fifty families in the
United States control more than
800, 900, 900 each; one hundred fam
lilies control over s50.000.0O0 each,
and five hundred families control
more than S1O,OOO,0OO each.
John ID. Rockefeller's estate is
now said to be between 100000
and s4,OOO.OO0.
1t is the boarding of such vast for
tunes as these into the hands of a
few that has made Russia bolshev,stic
and driven it's ruling class to pauper-
ism and death.
1t is the wedge that has divided
the wealthy class from the great mass
Of the people throughout the coun-
tries OF Europe. and has created wide
spread dissatisfaction that has
brought on wars and toppled kings
and emperors from their thrones.
Only the blind and the foolish will
continue to consider this country inn
mune.
1t is difficult to induce T pie TO
believe that such gigantic tunes
can be accumulated by hon 81 meth
DDS in the space of few yoaSs. and
dishonesty is the rock upen which
governments and individnAi .'ooner
or later come to grief.
The pyramiding of wea!,.. is the
most dangerous disease wi Il which
our country is afflicted today.
1t indicates the existence of profit
teering combinations which are IN
imical to the welfare of the republic.
Official complaisance will not ease
the tension, and doing out few
thousands will not wash away the
sins of its accumulation.
Shaking a red flag in the face of a
bull maddens the animal and starts
it on wild rampage of destruction.
If halt is not called there may
come time when pyramided v"alth
becomes the red rag of destrdc
revolution.

the people are forced to do their own
seeing, and under stress of great pro-
vocation they are too often inclined
