child must be yaccinated and that iA what the public must stand for. So great is the overflow from the 100 per cent disease breeder that beau tiful large touring car, in turning around recently, backed part way into the ditch in the course or turn Ing. The muck, more rotten than hog waller, acted upon 1t as though 1t were a bed of quicksand and the auto sank in up to the hubs. After an auto passing by made a futile at- tempt to remove 1t, truck was pro- cured and 1t was released. Such is Inc existence in an inhabitated set- tlement; a settlement that cannibals would not live in. Directly across the street, cases Of scarlet fever have been prevalent in every house. This has existed for five years and no law has prevented 1t.
 "To the mothers and fathers fo the public, t~ c5e residents of Bris- tol, to the residents of Connecticut to the residents of the U. S. A., to the whole country and in the name or God, will you do one little thing l ask Of you? Just for your child's sake, not for my sake, will you. in the next few weeks to come, watch tho newspapers? When the time draws near, the papers will tell you where and when you can be made a voter beg of you, l plead with you. This thing does not force you 10 vote but it does give you the privilege when such questions arise at future elections, to put some men into office who will discharge such an ignorant, oyerbearing, authority. abusing set who are the stool pig cons and chore boys of a political combination. It is for the future of your child's sake that I ask you to perform this small duty, which is a large duty If looked upon in a cer- tain way. It is for the future of young America.
 "As a janitor of a school house, one of my duties is to hoist the flag, Often before l hoist the flag hesi- tate because I owe the flag an apology. Stop and think parents of my position as true patriot. Could you hoist this beautiful emblem, with what 1t stands for, over an institu- ton that is the making of the future of the U. s. A. The school prepares the great men that run the world. In this school they are taught at the beginning to repeat the American creed. Repeat it, dear parents, to yourselves. Then compare it with the situation of today. Start with the almighty dollar, the prohibition question, disorderly drunken high school students and more crime than the country has ever had.
 'Take your own state, taxpayers, which pays bank inspectors to in- spect books in banks every few months Then a bank clerk gets away with money for seven years, and after getting tired of it, shoots himself and therefore is detected. If he had not gotten tired of living, no doubt if he had played in good luck, bank inspectors or rather political ornaments would have had nothing to do only draw their salary.
 Then comes your medical board. Taxpayers pay them too. Doctors pass their examinations. are allow. ed to practice wholesale murder and the public has to stand for it. More ornaments for the state of Connecti- cut Caught asleep, the public planes the doctors for applying for licenses and for not having a college education.
 Here in Bristol, the health officer has no power to clean up cesspools but can order vaccination. Space in this paper is limited. Therefore the thousands of things that mothers and fathers should be made voters for I must omit.
 Now put yourself in my place in hoisting the flag under which I was born. for which my forefathers | fought and died, under which our laws are made, and under which these political stool pigeons and ornaments take their oath which they are supposed to live upon. Un- der this flag the strain of My Coun- try 'Tis of Thee, Sweet Land of Liberty" is played at nearly every patriotic function. Where is liberty?
 At this point the blood in my veins runs cold. Judge for your selves why you should seek future welfare for your children. Do you blame me for refusing to comply with compulsory vaccination order from our authority abusing health officer. He can hang the carcass on the flag pole of city hall so that it may be whipped to pieces by the four winds until the bones cut loose and crash to the pavement below before l will consent to this vaccina- tion. He is to try and force it upon me. That is all dear readers. Do I not owe the flag an apology for | hoisting 1t over an institution of ed- ucation, an institution that makes | the world. Taxation without repre- 1 Senl2tlOn caused one war. l do not know what will cause the next but if political conditions do not change. it is safe bet that it will be poll tics"
