Senator Borah recalled that he had charged when he fought the last army appropriations bill that the real dan ger of a. big military esta blishment' was that capital hoped and expected to employ it against union labor.
 Recent developments certainly seem to justify the view I took of a large army then, and which I still hold now" Borah added. "One reas- on certain big interests supported and encouraged the presidential aspira tions of General Leonard Wood in 1920 was that they were confident ii he were elected to the White House he would place a. battalion of soldiers at the doorway of union labor where ever and when ever those interests deemed the use of armed force neces- sary to crush union labor.'
 Borah said he was deeply con- cerned about the incalculable hard ship the continued deadlock was bound to impose upon the great masses of the people.
 ''In it's determination to crush un- ion labor, capital started out. as soon as the world war was finished, to de- fate wages, to slash them irrespective of whether they were reduced below the level of the living wage or not ,'' Borah continued. And yet no defla- ton of wages can be justified as long

Charges have been made and yer flied that the voting in the district in question, was of an irregular nature. It is charged that ballots marked in ink were turned in that people whose pames were not on the election list last fall had voted and that some voters had voted improperly
 Walter A. Keeling, present council man from the district, was returned by one vote over his opponent, Will liam w. Wakelee, of the Hunter fac ton. The vote was 122 to sustain Keeling and 121 to recall him.
 Two questions were voted upon on the ballot. Question 1. Shall Walter A. Keeling be recalled? :? Voters had the privilege of voting 'Yes' or "No.' Some Of the ballots were marked with these words when it is asserted that the proper method was to simply place a cross opposite the choice.
 The second question referred to the placing of a vote for the Peoples General Committee candidate. A number of people are said to have voted for Wakelee and to have failed to vote for the recall of Keeling. The fact that Il of the 13 ballots which

were thrown out were in favor of WakeIee. will probably act as a spur to the Hunter faction to demand a rigid recount.
 Due to the absence of Chairman Lewis. no official statement regarding any action to be taken to restore Rutherford H. Hunter, was forthcom- ing.
 Members of the committee, although not wishing to commit themselves to an official statement, asserted that the sentiment of the larger number of people in StratfOrd was for the re- turn of Hunter, because ''the outside world has heea given an impression that we have not given Hunter a fair charce."
 "The selection of a, town mana ger is up to the council and until the meeting on Friday night, the replace ment of Town Manag@r Hubben by the former official is matter of con jecture," one of the workers of the Hunter faction declared today. It was said that the new council have not had the opportunity of meeting together and expressing their views on the town manager problem.

Probers Fail In Effort To Get Al Cause
Master Switch Equip ment May Have Saved Il1-Fated Giant Army Airship and 34 Lives.
By HARRY L. ROGERS,

 Washington, July 26 - The exact cause of the fatal plunge of the giant army airship Roma which crashed to earth near Norfolk last February, killing 34 of the 45 persons aboard, can never be known, according to the official report of the in vestigating committee, made public by the War Department here today.
 Had the Roma been equipped
 with 8 master switch by which
 the officer in command could
 have stopped all his motors in-
 stant1y, the catastrophe might
 have been averted, the report de-
 clared, and adds that the Roma
 also lacked emergency ballast
 releases regarded by the board
 as essential to the safety of such
 aircraft.
 If the Roma had been inflated with helium instead e hydrogen "undoubt :. edly the loss of nfe in this accident would not have been so great" the report declared.
 Designers Disagree
 The Italian designers and builders of the Roma who appended a report to that of the official Investigating board, disagreed with the conclusions arrived at by the Americans. In making public the report, however, to be understood that this is not a matter of controversy between the American and Italian authorities.'' .''

But it isn't really much proof For there are muItitude es of little girls who might say that their mothers wear short skirts, and are the best mothers they know, which is good enough for them When this little girl is a. little older she will know that she is fortunately born into a world that was never quite so good as when she was evangelizing in Bridgeport. The world will then be much better, since the world has a way of constantly getting better.

Once, indeed, the world was so bad that to be an evangelist was hard. Little girls were stretched on racks, thrown to the lions, burned by fire, and otherwise subjected to horrible tortures. Read what took place in the reign of Marcus-Aurelius, great Roman Emperor, who meant to be good He thought the world was hell bound hell bent because there were Christians, who seemed to him much worse than jazz music and short skirts.

At this tender age, when quite new world comes into the mind of a young person, the reflective facul- ties are not much developed. There is a large absorption of facts, and arrival at conclusions which for the most part will have to be revised. Our young lady thinks that short skirts are immodest and lead to many things. Of course, from a sanitary point of view. we'll and good My mother however, wears long skirts and she is the hea1thiest and clean est person I know, and that's proof enough for me-"

An old man jumped off ferry boat. Ha wrote a note saying 1"There is a sucker born every mo- ment." Another man killed himself recently, asking that his body might be burned and his ashes strewn on the lawn of the broker who had taken his money. The dying words ot unsuccessful gamblers do not have much weight with living gamblers who are presently to be unsuccessful The gambler is nearly always a sucker, perhaps from some latent mental defect akin to that which pro. duces so many suicides among those who gamble.

Divorce of the liberal sort is intro duced formally into Connecticut polf- tics.

The time is here when public officers cannot expect to be married to the job for life, or eveu for n term of years. except on good behaviour.
 Only ten of each one hundred and six persons in the United States have religious affiliations. The number is smaller than most would suppose The world is certainly going to church more than it used to. Some groups go more than others, and the rest may profit by their example. Many man society will be so perfected that it can be sustained without organized religion.

LAF0LLETTE HAS HIS

Washington, Jan. 26.-The pres

"but the natural consequence and
the inevitable result Of that pol
icy Of forcible deflation accom-
plished through the control Of the
nations credit by the will Of a
few great financiers," Senator La
Toilette, republican, Wisconsin,
said today in the senate.
1.-THE destruction which they
Wrought cannot be cured by the
resolutions Of any conference, d"
he said, referring to the agricul-
tural conference.
"The dcflation Of agriculture"
he added, was only the prelude
to the preparation for another
purpose on the part Of the finan-
cial interests-the deflation of
labor.
"a break in prices was neces-
sary as a preliminary and pretcNt
for the dcflation Of labor, parti-
cularly when this break in prices
could be accomplished with profit
to themselves and so the farmer
was deflated and the prices o.
agricultural products were forced
down. This naturally provided a
favorable field for the propaEand-
lists Of the special interests TO
urge that the wages of labor
should likewise be forced down
