Comment
Ia tiiN iOlNSO1lS announcement L
have tried to use good, old fashioned
words and terms to express the prin-
clples OF loyalty and patriotism that
was breathed into the body polite by
our toretathers. 1t proved good for
them and it has proven good for those
who have come after them and it is
good now and will ever be. want YOU
to read with emphasis the words in
capital letters, and if you believe in
my integrity and ability, do you need
or desire stronger pledge for the
protection of your legitimate rights?
Is i not safer and saner to be guild
ed by the principles cnunciated
than to blindly pledge this, flat or the
others? A man who IS unworthy of
your confidence on a pledge such as
| have announced is unworthy of a
public trust. Do you know of any
better way to conserve and preserve
public interests than to be guided in
this service, by the RECORDS, by
EXPERIENCE and by INTELLI-
GENT PUBLIC OPINION If so
it would be a revelation and appropri-
ate. The fellow who is egotistical as
TO think he can make good, just and
equitable laws off-hand, like making
tracks in the sand, is unworthy of
having public trust committed into
his hands. l regard it very serious
responsibility for it to be made my
duty to create and make laws by
which my fellow citizens must be
governed. In view of this fact. do
you blame me for saying that l shall
not commit myself to the repeal or
enactment of any measure which I
have not had time and opportunity to
study and consider in the beneficcnt
light of truth as revealed by the
RECORDS. by EXPERIENCE and
INTELLIGENT PUBLIC OPIN-
ION and to do my duty as God and
patriotism shall inspire me.

THE MIsINFoRMED PUBLIC.

The debate between Mr.. Baer and
Mr.. Frey Sunday afternoon brought
out one thing very clearly, II 1t dlu
nothing else-it revealed the glarlng
ignorance of the average man--i1
Mir. Baer represents the average
type of man-in things pertaining TO
organized labor and what 1t stands
for. This ignorance was noticeable
all through his speech, and II the
general public believes as he does,
and is as uniformed as Is Mr.. Baer,
then it is no wonder that there are
so many people arrayed against the
unions.
This misinformation, and real ig-
norance of trade unionism, can be at
tributed to one cause, and that is the
neglect. or refusal, or unwilling
ness of the general public to inform
itself upon both sides of the ques-
ton. No man can become properly
informed as to the merits OF any
cause by reading only the views of
those opposed to that cause. Any
man who listens attentively to the
preachings of one class and refuses to
listen to the other side can not render
Just decision. When an impartial
Judge reviews case, he obtains in
formation from both sides, and ther
renders his verdict accordingly. Sc
must it be with fhe public.
Much misinformation is CLEANED
through the public press, which
probably Internationally, prints the
news only as seen from the employ
ers' viewpoint, and the public has
not yet learned to discount to the
proper degree the truthfulness OF
these reports.
1t is the duty, as we see it, that
every family should have at least one
union labor publication in his house
He may not agree with what it says
but it will go a long ways TOWARD
keeping the family informed as u
labor's side of the question.
Union men, If the general publ,
sees unionism as Mr.. Baer sees it
If the general public does not under
stand the principles of unionism--i
the general public believes that al
the crooks in the world are confine,
to the ranks of organized labor, thel
it is time union labor is waking VI
and make some attempt to eorrec
this glazing miseonception of tn,
union movement.
Publicity is the greatest aid in an,
honorable undertaking. The labo
press must supply this information
no other class of press will do il
Strengthen the labor press with you
moral and financial support an
make it possible to reach the genera
public with the truth about the unio
movement.

Millionaire Kid" Wonders If He Is
 Legally Married

New Haven, July S-Louis Oster- weis, left q fortune by his father, late prominent cigar manufacturer of this city, and who won the sobriquet of "the millionaire kid' through his spending of a portion of it, was in town yesterday somewhat worried as to whether or not his recent marriage to Miss A-- l. Nan1on, 19. of this city, is legal.
 The young couple were married by gently learned that a new statute passed by the recent legislature pro- hibits the marriage of a person over whom there is a, conservator without the consent of the conservator.
 The young mans conservator is the Union & New Haven Trust Co.,, and he conferred with the officials of that corporation. The bridegroom had not obtained the required consent to the marriage, it was said.

VACATI0NlSTS GO AWAY AND LEAVE

Approach of the summer vacation season is being emphasized among or ganizations engaged in the protection of animals by an increasing number of complaints relative to temporary or permanent abandonment of cats With many. exodus to the shore ap- pears to be Q. signal for letting the TaS wsh srdseport Haf ze1f for asas Esana is in the field, the Bridgeport district off, fee of the Connecticut Humane so- ciety is not interesting itself in the deliberate abandonment of the family cat as cruelty to animals and worthy Of court action. A number of such cases are now receiving attention.
 Appointment of Harry B. Barnuna. school truant officer and charities in- vesdgator, as a local agent Of the so- c1ety in Stratford has been announc- ed. His appointment fills the va cancy, caused by the death of Dr. William B. Cogswell, who was for many years an active local agent of the organization in that town.
 An increase has been noted during June in cases handled by the Bridge port district office for out-of-the-state or other social work agencies. This is considered partly due to the fact that tS Connecticut Humane Society has the distinction of being the only state agency Of its kind whose field representatives are deputized with state Wloe pO1Lce powers.
 According to the June report filed by c. M. Agard. district agent in charge of the Bridgeport office, there was a considerable amount of animal work handled during the month. Shoes wer eordered for horses in s9 in stances, there were 21 harness ad- 1ustments, six horses were turned in as unfit for work or needing special attention, there were 52 market wis., its, three animal stores were visited, 20 stables, including auction sales, six slaughter-house visits were made, there was inspection Of 253 horses, 297 crates of poultry, 16o head of other live stock while advice was given in ITO instances.
