Hartford, Jan 25.-Judge John H. 6arnes and former Senator Bailey are actively seeking to retain control of the Norwich city court Both gentlemen are well trained in the political game, even as 1t is sharply played at the state capitol What they do nor know in re- gard to the inside work is not worth the knowing. Judge Barnes is a candidate for reappointment and there isn't meC1- Der of the judiciary committee, or any member of influence in the legislature, or leaders in the third house who are not aware of the fact. Senator Brown Of Norwich has placed in nomination as opponent to Judge Barnes, Frank N. Gardner and will use all open influence in ihe hope of landing him into the judge shin, There has been talk of an open fight for the Norwich position, and, while the preliminary has been noticeable there has been noticeable, there has been no real action towards finish. '
 The fight, if there is to be one, will be when the resolutions of appointment arc before the judiciary committee in public hearing, and Senator Brown is a member of that important committee. Possibly there may be another round or two in the legislature. when the judiciary committee makes report Henry H. Pet lis and Arthur E. Libby have also been nominated for judge. The motive is ap- parent, but the result is doubtful,
 From this distance it looks as is Judge Barnes, adroit politician that he is, would Ein out, even with Senator Brown on the judiciary committee. This despite the fact that in the contest for nomination for senate, Brown won out over Bailey by an overwhelming; vote. at the caucus when delegates were chosen to the sena- irl, INtI4T ITso1 n ttcations are like weather predictions not always dependable. : !:

CAN NOT HIDE WEAKNESSES
Philadelphia Writer Draws a Moral
From the Life and Works of
Two Men
There were two men.

There were two men.
One in order TO hide his faults from
the eyes of the public, surrounded him
self with many friends. better than
himself in character.
The other man had a single friend,
as sterling in character. sympathies
and perceptions as himself.
In the first case the man fooled the
public. which seemed TO see him
through his friends.
In the second case. however, the
man and his friend were misunder-
stood and neglected by the public.
The first man, during life, was
praised and f1nttered. for, being very
wealthy, he could very easily purchase
empty words, but not loved or re-
spected.
The second man, after death, was at
last understood, respected. honored
and loved, but to no avail; for he
could not be brought back from the
grave.
1t was a case of the same old story
of an unjust, blind world
