club all about It at rs weekly lunch

DUPONT this afternoon.
Mr.. Lindell was one OF the win

were awarded by the Lions for the
citys slogan: THE First City Of the
First State" At the time Of the
award he told how handily the
money came in, as he had been out
OF employment for weeks.

On January 6. 1921. the Plumb
Plan League. composed Of A. r. of
L. affiliated unions and the railroad
brotherhoods, Issued a formal state
ment to the effect that 2,350,000 men
ordinarily employed were then out

on April rs, 1921 six weeks after
President Harding's Inauguration
Mr.. Gompers issued a public state
ment that the number of unemploy-
ed at that time was 100000.
These facts utterly dispose OF the
charge that the Industrial depression
did not begin until after the inaugu-
ration of President Harding.
The second part OF the above
charge in the Democratic state plat
form OF Connecticut is that our for
eign markets were cut off by the
Republican party. The refutation
OF that Is found in the reports of the
Department OF Commerce. No one

fact that our exports during the
World war were phenomenal. Co
ing back to the pre-war period
OF our commerce. we find that
in 1912, the year President VIII
son was elected, our foreign exports
to the worlds markets amounted to
S2,2O4, 100000. In 1913 { h e VI

On August 1. 1914, the European

our exports jumped to unheard of
figures.
Coming TO the Harding administra-

were S3.770,O0O. 900. or over $1,000

some years ago grlpped Delaware.
And the younger colored voters
must have heard of It. In the days
gone by every kind of effort was
made 10 keep the Delaware negroes
from voting. The old tax assess
ment and collection law resulted in
practically DISTINGUISHING a large
proportion Of the colored voters.
By such means the Democrats
maintained their hold and after
these laws were abolished as a con-
sequence of Repu blican agitation
the Republicans came into their own

evidently has the audacity to be-
lieve that large numbers OF colored

he and others who think like him
will be disappointed.
Let the colored voters call TO mind

The Democratic party Is trying
hard TO forget its record. An old
habit. but with US Just as strong to-
day as ever. The donkey is trying
TO eliminate the past and make
promises for the future.
In the Democratic platform,
adopted at the Democratic conven-
tlon in Hartford, we find the follow
ing effort TO forget:
I'VE charge that the industrial de-
preston which began shortly after
the inauguration Of President Hard
ing was due to the cutting off OF our
foreign markets.
The Industrial depression TO which
the Democratic state convention in
Connecticut referred was in full
bloom when Mr.. Harding was in
augurated and the Republican party
took charge of the government. This
depression began in the early sum
mer Of 1920, due to the cumulative
result OF Democratic policies such as
restriction OF credits which strangled
industry; the menace of increasing
imports uUutI lltt AAaNNs AhN ~
mendous increase IN immigration,
adding 10 the number of men seek
ing work; and a number OF other
factors.
That there is no doubt OF this, let
the record be cited. The newspaper
columns Of the early summer OF 1920
were filled with accounts of factories
being closed or their forces being
radically reduced.
Samuel Gompers Issued several
statements in the summer and fall
of 1920 deploring the idleness of
hundreds OF thousands OF workers.
In November. 1920. the unemploy-
ment situation became so critical
that the executive council Of the
American Federation OF Labor held
a special session to consider ways
and means OF relieving conditions
In many of the industrial centers
local relief measures were taken in
the fan and winter of 1920 TO feed
the unemployed.
on December 2s. 1920, the U. s.
Service Bureau Of the
OF Labor, then under
Democratic administration, gave out
a statement estimating that 100000
workers ordinarily employed were

FALSE ACCUsERs

VVTILLIAM G. McADoo has added his voice to the
w voices of other Democrats who declaring
falsely that the Republican administration has done
nothing to reduce the tax burden
THE new internal BILL" says he. gave no
relief taxpayers less than 1000 per-
sons those persons enjoy the largest in
America"
That statement of entirely false. It ought
to wide publicity because in recognizing its i'm
pudent misstatement the public will know how mu,h
credence place other Democratic campaign dcc!a-
rations
Every head of family in the United States knows
whether the Republicans reduced not. When
he made his income return last winter he found
that he had been granted increased exemption from
1900 to $500 and that his exemption account Of
each minor child other dependent had been doubled.
from $500 TO $500 each In many thousands OF cases
those Republican exemptions wiped out entirely the
Federal tax that heads of families paid the past
Mr.. McAdoo knows nothing from experience OF those
things because his income from the movies other
sources is big not to be affected by them, they

OBSERVANCE QUIET

Comparatively few stores or places
OF business are likely TO close on
Armistice Day, November II. ac-
cording TO a poll Of the city's mer-
chants made by the Chamber of
Commerce.
The event falls on Saturday this
year and the majority of merchants,
especially the larger store proprie-
tors. believe they should keep open
to supply the usuel weekend trade.
In reply to queries other merchants
said they were ready TO do what the
majority would do.
It appears probable the day will
be celebrated quietly. Flags will be
shown and there will be numerous

President Points the Way
(From the Kansas city Journai.)

Among the most constructive
features OF Mr.. Harding's admins
tration has been his sane. logical
realization OF the deplorable con-
dltion OF American shipping. He
has not used a bludgeon in the pro-
motion Of untried theories, having
refrained from laying down the ex-
act merchant marine program con-
gress should enact.
The President has met with DEM
ocratic opposition to the ship sub
sidy, although early in the history
of the Democratic party It fostered
the merchant marine. He has real
lied the needs and possibilities of
the present and future; his oppo-
nents have not. He win triumph In
the end. in spite of opposition by
Democrats and the silent war of
Great Britain against American
shipping.
Any movement to better the mer-
chant marine Will meet with opposi-
tion from many sources. There will
be political antagonists. seeking to
undermine the administration policy
through distortion OF facts and prin-
ciples. There will be opposition in
foreign circles which naturally are
eager that American shipping should
not be restored to American ships.
The majority OF American export
ed goods is carried not in American
ships, eager TO promote American
trade. but in the vessels OF foreign
owners. always ready TO discrimin-
ate against American shipping in
favor Of that Of their own national
ity.

costing $4,000 year in watchmen's
fees alone. Many Of these govern
ment-owned vessels are rotting
away. and those ships the govern
ment is operating are costing the
taxpayers $50. 100000 a year. A ship
subsidy would cost s2O,O00,000 a
year less. and would in addition pro-
vide a market for the ships which
are now deteriorsting from disuse.
The farmer should not be influ-
enced to believe that this subsidy
does not concern him. He always
has been interested in the conduct
of elevators and the regulation of
railroad rates. When he realizes
that farm products constitute smore
than half American exports in value
and much more than half in bulk,
he also will be interested in the mer-
chant marine. Ocean shipping IS
merely a link IN the farmers chain
of transportation, to be taken care
of just as adequately as internal
transportation.
The country is about to enter an
era Of world expansion. That does
not mean a meddlesome policy in
the hereditary enmities of Europe,
but rising to a position TO which this
country is entitled in avenues of
world commerce. A necessary in
