The average worker does not al- ways appreciate the personal interest he ought to take in the election of the County Sheriff, either as to the character of the candidates or the na- ture of the policy they may be ex- pected to pursue when elected. He is inclined to regard the County Sheriff
 as one who has something to do with the enforcement of criminal law and
 the conduct of the county jail. He is inclined to feel that so long as he
 obeys the law, he has little or no
 reason to be interested. Inasmuch
 of the county and responsible for the
 maintenance of order and the pro-
 lection of property within its con fines, it is essential that the incum-
 bent of the office should not only be
 one who will fairly and impartiaily
 discharge his duty, but also one who
 harbors no prejudice toward organ ize labor In labor struggles, it is
 unfortunate that radical sympathizers
 of organized labor some times commit
 acts of violence, or the situation be-
 comes so tense that the sheriff of the
 county is called upon to furnish that protection of life and property which the law guarantees, and which it is his duty to provide. At such times,
 a sheriff unsympathetic with the as pirations of labor, who has not the common touch, might do serious in county would be dangerous if i'm properly used We should be ex- tremely careful to whom it is en- trusted.
 One of the outstanding features of the strike of the carpet operators at ] Thompsonville, and the strike of the railroad shopmen at East Hartford, is the absolute fairness with which Sheriff Gabb of Hartford County treated the workers and the public. So tactfully were these situations handled, that practically no disorder existed, nor did any acts of violence occur to bring discredit upon the com
 nunity, or that could create any pre-
 judice against the strikers or organ
 ized labor.
 Hartford County is fortunate in having sheriff who has always
 proven to be friend of the dommon
 people, not only in his official con-
 duct, but also as an employer of la
 Dor, previous to his election. Under
 who is now his opponent for re-elec- tIOIl, tne OInCeIS e1HpIOyeu al the
 County Jail were working a seven
 day week of seventyhve to eighty
 hours. It may be said to the credit
 of Sheriff Gabb, that one of his first official acts was the establishment of six day week, a reduction of the working hours and an increase of sal ary to all county employees under his
 jurisdiction. He has not only i'm proved the condition under which his
 subordinates labor, but has also inn proved the sanitary conditions, and
 has humanized the conditions at the jail in general.
 His administration has been char acterized by fairness, courtesy, hu- manity and common sense, and merits the endorsement of every man or woman who hopes for human pro- gresS.

DON'T WANT TO COMPETE

Washington, Nov. 3.-Bankers and railroad officials both oppose the in terstate commerce commission requir- ing railroads to ask for public bids when they issue new bonds.
 Some railroad officials claim the commission Is exceeding its powers to tell the roads how they shall mar ket their issues The bankers fear that competition will prove "ruinous" to the roads, and are hopeful that the present scheme of dividing up the field will continue This will permit the bankers to dictate the price they will pay for the bonds and the price the bonds are sold to the public.
 The railroad managers sustain the bankers, as is quite natural, in view of the fact that the bankers make and unmake the managers.

New York, Nov 3.-Oficers of the International Ladies' Garment Work CTS Union demand that employers abide by their agreement when a commissoin to probe wages was ere ated by both parties.
