TIME 10 PREPARE

Just because the coal strike seems in a far way to a settlement and the rail- road strike situation gives promise of taking care. of itself. 1t doesn't mean that congress wonld be justified in piSeon-holing the legislation that has beon sought for the purpose of aiding the government in meeting the fuel tie up.
 an emergency arises that the govern nent lacks the power to act in a man ner that Is called for. It has been so before and 1t can be anticipated that lt will be that way again. But when uver such a situation develops there IS no little distress to think that the gov Ernment would be permitted to remain in snch a helpless position any longer. And yet it ts a most natural thing for legislative efforts to be abandoned jus, lhe minute 1t is found that adjustments are being obtained in otherways or per haps through the fear of the results of proposed Iegislaticn
 This all emphasizes the helpless situ- Rtion of the government and the fact that just as long as it remains with It's hands tied 1t can be expected tha; encouragement will be given to the pro- motion of other similar strikes, regard less of the effect they have upon the entire country.
 There is no thought of restrained ef- torts because the general public is going to be made to suffer, or because the government lacks the authority to takt such acton as is called or for tht protection of the public That advan lass is capitalized in every strike that involves great public utilities and it viii continue to be just as long as ther, tre handicaps in the way of the govern mental handling of such emergencies.
 Under ordinary conditions there is nc ran for the proposed emergency legis lation. but there is great need for 1 when wanted. and because of that th, importance of giving the country tn protection that it is entitled to througl mch laws cannot be wisely diEegarded l. Is none too soon to provide agains

GETTING JusrIcE IN ILLINOIS.

There arc th0Se fn the state of IT, Enois who are concerned over the frightful massacre at Herrdn, even though it has required a long time to manifest it. Investigations and steps to prose cute the guilty have been blocked be- carse miners were in control of affairs within Williamson county and that aside from the states attorney there have been slight efforts in that county to- ward bringing the guilty to justice In fact the efforts would appear to have been in the opposite direction, and wish the state attorney generals office practi- cally helpless
 There are expenses attached to in- vestigation of the actual shooting as we'll as the conditions that preceded it and the lack of funds proves unite as effectual in blocking such action as does the attitude of those directly concerned. The situation has gotten SC much at tention however that the state chamber of commerce has considered it advis- able to lend it's influence and it is en- gagged in raising the necessary funds to put through the investigation. This means that the expenses which should be paid by the state is being collected from private sources when most com monwealths would deplore such a situa- tion only second to the commission of such a crime within its borders.
 Naturally more than the state of Illinois is concerned in the outcome of the hearings which are now underway before the county grand jury. That in 1 fiuence which has been So successful in submerging efforts to bring the guilty to punishment can be expected to make it's presence manifest, and it remains to be seen what independence will be shown in country which is dominated by those who are in sympathy with the acts that were committed. or at least with those who committed them. The efforts made to provide the funds for law enforce ment are to be commended but interest will center in the success that is ob- tained in trying to obtain justice in a county which is plainly against it

FAMOUS NCKNAMES
"oLp BENNINGTON

The victory of the little band of pa- triots at Bennington, early in the Rev olutionary war, made John Stark fa- nous, and shortly afterwards he was christehed "Old Bennington" first by his soldiers and then by the American colonists generally. At the time of this victory Stark was close to fifty years of age, and had long and distinguished career as an Indian fighter.
 In early life Stark was New Hamp- shire farmer, and several years prior to the Revolution his little band of iron tiersmen succeeded in driving the h. dians from the neighborhood, so that they were no longer troubled with them.
 Promptly upon receipt of the news of the battle of Lexington, he mounted his horse and at the head of several hun dred of his neighbors set out to join the colonial army at Cambridge. Upon his arrival there he was appointed a colonel, and in one day he organized a regiment of eight hundred hardy back woodsmen.
 Then came the memoriable Bunker Hill day. Stark and his men were sta tiened a few miles away from the scene of this conflict. When he saw that the battle was inevitable, he did not wait for orders, but set oout at once for the ground, which he reached just before the conflict began. He led his men into the fight, saying: Boys, aim at their waistbands." :" an order that has become historical.
 In the heat of this action a soldier came to Stark with the report that his son, youth of 16, had been killed. "This is not moment to talk private affairs. D was the grim reply Ego back to your t. false, and young Stark served as A staff officer during the war.
 While in his home state in Marcsa. 17T7, engaged in recruiting the ranks If his regiment, news came of a list of promotions and his name was not in- cluded. This injustice he bitterly re- sented and retired to his farm But he was still the patriot and when the 1 information reached him that the ene- my was moving south from Canada. he rushed again to arms, and was at Ben nington when he learned that detach- ] ment of six hundred men under Col 1 Baum. had been dispatched by Burgoyne on a foraging expedition in that section 1 Stark and his men marched out to meet the British and on the 14th of Au- | gust, a few miles out of Bennington he | drew up his men in the order of bat
 
 1 prepared for an attack Before he ad- vanced he addressed his men with that brief but telling address which is SC often quoted: There are the red coats we must beat them today, or tonight Molly Stark sleeps a widow"
 They beat them and Molly had the sat isfaction of long enjoying the fame that uAme to John. The victory was deci 1 sive. and by a band of raw militia poorly armed and without discipline. but by one of the most fearless men of the Revolution. Of the one thousand Brit. ish soldiers engaged in the fight, no1 more than a hundred escaped, and il was this victory of "old Bennington, which led ultimately to the surrender ot l Burgoyne at Saratoga, Col Baum, who was morta1ly wounded said to the prov, incials They fought more like hell l hounds than like soldiers"

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
The East Entrance to the City.

The East Entrance to the City. MT. Editor The people that Live on the easterly side of the Shetucket river were very indignant last evening on re- turning home from work. to find nice new sign erected just across Preston bridge by the Rotary Club, saying, Now entering the Rose of New England = Norwich
 It looks as though the people that re- side on the easterly side of the Shetuc- ket river are no longer residents of Nor wich, although they still pay taxes and are offered public protection, water ser vice and, etc, by the city of Norwich. The residents feel that this sign should be erected not nearer than the top or Fox's Hill
 The sign for the willimantic entrance has been located at the Yantic railroad crossing which is very far out of the city limits
 The people of the community without name would like to see this sign erected at the top of Foxs Hill.
 Hoping this will soon be remedied we remain residents of Norwich

Rold Faced Criticism.

MT. Editor Just a word about the letters of recent date in The Bulletin, relative to the Judge Potter case. It seems as though MT. Potter's dry friends would like his blood. Why not procure set of blood hounds, and run him down to death. And of all Mrs. F. J. W. is so personal in her remarks in yester- days Bulletin. Now all will agree the law must be a.bided by, and so does Judge Potter MT. Potter as we read was tried. and not found guilty Again the jury has been critized through open letters in The Bulletin. No jury can con- viet any man without sufficient evidence and we all know the jury did not find sufficient evidence to convict MT. Potter. We ask is it not rather far-reaehing 10 run into such abuse of an American citi- zen as has been expressed through open letters in The Bulletin. Judge Potter shows himself a man to hold his charge, and it is a weakness on the part of the dries to use so much bold faced criticism. Let them all remember they are not holding up the prohibition cause by a voice of the people, and only faction thereof
 Again let's repeat Lncoln's words, You can fool all of the people half of the time, but not all of the time. " We wish to say we never heard of Judge Potter until we saw his name in. print.
