New Canaan. He didn't propose to be laborer all his life, however, and worked long and hard to gain an education, returning to the wire mills on the night shift and during the vaca- ton periods to earn his way through college; and among his warmest friends and ardent supporters today are many of those with whom he toil- ed in the mills.
 He attended the New Canaan schools, and later the Moody school at Mt. Herman, Mass. He is a gradu- ate of Colgate University and the New York Law School, being ad- mitted to the bar in 1909. He prac- ticed law in the office of Martin Gray for about a year and, upon the death of MT. Gray, the latter part of 1909, began his present partnership with Benjamin H. Mead, the law firm on Bank street becoming known as Bar tram & Mead. Despite his private practice which is one of the largest in that section of Fairfield county, MT. Bartram declares he will give 1t up and devote his entire time to the office of Judge of Probate should the electors place the responsibility upon him.
 "The office of Judge of Probate is of sufficient importance to require the undivided attention of the incumbent" he asserts, "and I would feel it my duty to give all the time and atten- ton that would be required to proper ly and efficiently perform the duties of the office. Probate practice nas al ways been a very interesting branch of the law, he says, which may be due to the fact that considerable part of my law practice has been connect ed with that kind of work. You can, therefore, naturally understand that 1t is my liking for that branch of the law which has prompted be to become a candidate for the office"

FLOUD B BARTRAM With Cut As rule too little thought is given to the qualifications possessed by men seeking office and this is par tlcularly true in regard to the i'm portant office of Judge of Probate. A man to fill this office should be one of spotless reputation and fair and just in his dealings with his fellow men. He should be one who can sympathize with you when you have lost that dear one who was the bread winner and home builder; when he has gone to that home from which no traveller returns.
 You want to feel that when you go to the Judge of Probate, no matter how large or how small the estate, you will meet man who will greet you with kindly sympathy, and deal justly with you, and Floyd B. Bar tram, candidate for the office on the Democratic ticket in Fairfield County is just that sort of a man.
 The workingmen of Stamford who know and respect him feel assured that should they be summoned to ap- pear before their maker that the little homes they have so faithfully toiled and saved for will be safeguarded in the Probate Court under his careful administration.
 MT. Bartram knows what it is to toll with his hands for living for he has made his way from a laborer i'll wire mill to his present position of influence and popularity. On numerous occasions he has proven by his actions that he has not forgotten the days when he earned his bread by the sweat of his brow and he has demonstrated time and time again his friendship for the toiler.
 MT. Bartram was born in New Canaan on September 3, 1882, and when B years of age went to work in the wire mills at Talmadge Hill,

Fiction In Labor Law

Philadelphia, Oct. 27-"The fiction of the compensation law as to the percentage of compensation should be removed" declares Harry S. Mackey, chairman of the state workmen's com pensation board.
 "While we say in Pennsylvania a workman receives 60 per cent of his wages, as a matter of fact he re- ceives about 20 per cent when injured, for the reason that the act fixes $2o a week as the minimum upon which the percentage is calculated.
 If the next legislature of Penn sylvania four-squares itself with pub lie sentiment and brings the work mems compensation act up to the efficiency and dignity of the leading industrial states of the Union, it will give further recognition to compensa- ton for medical service"

WORDS OF WISDOM

The good education of youth has been estimated by wise men in all ages as the surest foundation of the happiness both of private families and of commonwealths.- Benjamin Franklin.
 Promote, then, as an object of primary importance, institutions for the general diffusion of knowl- edge. In proportion as the struc- ture of a government gives force to public opinion, it is essential tha, public opinion should be enlight- ened.-George Washington.
 Wise and judicious modes of education, patronized and support ed by communities, will draw to- gether the sons of the rich and the poor ,amon gwhom it makes no distinction; it will cultivate the natural genius, elevate the soul, excite laudable emulation to excel i'll knowledge, piety, and benevo- lence; and, finally, it will reward it's patrons and benefactors by shedding it's benign influence on the public mind.-John Adams.
 A system of general instruction which shall reach every description of our citizens from the richest to the poorest, as it was the earliest, so will it be the latest of all the public concerns in which I shall permit myself to take an interest. Thomas Jefferson

I firmly believe that if I am elected Mayor I can do a lot of good for my fellow men and that is what I want to do.

MAJOR ALFRED N. PHILLIPS DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOR
 MAYOR OF STAMFORD

Major Alfred N. Phillips, demo-
 cratic candidate for Mayor of Stam- ford, was born in Glenbrook and edu-
 cated in the public schools of that
 thriving little suburb of Stamford After graduating from the public schools he went to preparatory school and thence to Yale University, where he graduated with honors. Major Phillips is a workingman in the truest sense of the word. After leaving college he did not hesitate to put on overalls and work in his faith CTS factory, where his fellow work CTS learned to love and respect him.

TOM WATSON OF GEORGIA.

Senator Thomas l.. Watson of
George is dead. He was best Known as
"Tom Watson" We had an opinion of
him, which we might have emphasiz
ed in these columns, but the remark
able comment Of the New York Sun
along this same line is a veritable lit
erary gem and we reproduce it here:
The kindest thing that can be
truthfully said Of Senator Thomas e..
Watson Of Georgia, who died yestsr.
day. Is that his mind grew faster than
his spirit. He was O man who had
energy, learning and cleverness, but
he wasted the opportunity to use them
we'll.
Watson was q lawyer, but Ire coun.
seled his people to break the law. Ho
was a student Of history but he revel-
ed in things which history has show,
to be wrong. He studied the Constitu.
tion but he preached against it's finest
pr nipples.
The American public would have TO-,
given Tom Watson his false theorie
In economics. 1t would have forgiven
him his peppery temper and his i'm.
proper conduct in debate. But it could
not overlook his offenses in stirring
up race and religious prejudice or his
opposition to the enforcement of tho
universal service law.
Those who hoped that Watson on his
: coming to the United States Senat.
would reform were disappointed. His
charges against the conduct Of the
army in France, never substantiated,
/ were made with all the old venom, the
old lack Of respect for truth, and pro-
cedure. Instead Of emulating the ex
ample OF Ben Tillman Of South Caro-
lima, who in his final days in the Sen
ate won back much Of the respect he
| had lost in his turbulent years, Watson
became more impossible than ever.
Surely State does not always have
! the Senators she deserves. When Ala.
; bama could boast an Underwood II,
) the Senate and Mississippi a Williams
