those hyphenated organizations MT. Holt is also an active official. His breast is decorated with the Japanese Order of the Sacred Treasure, the Greek Order of George I, the French Knight Polonia Res ttuta, and the Swedish Knight of the North Star. During the period Mr. Holt thought discre- tion the better part of valor and the only con- ference to him in those years by "Who's Who" is that he vised battlefields of allied armies as guest of various governments, 1918.
 To oppose this much -hyphenated American and Connecticut Republicans have named Hiram Bing- ham who recently elected governor of the State Mr. Bingham Is explorer and historian of note being a specialist in the early history of Latin Am erica. At the outbreak of the war he entered the aviation service and learned to fly. He was rapid ly promoted in that branch of the service until the close of the war found him the commanding officer of the Aviation Instruction Center at Issoudon France, the Allies largest flying school Mr. Bing- ham has been staunch Republican for years serv- ing for two years as Lieutenant Governor of his State and Presidential elector and delegate to the Republican National convention in 1916
 When the people of Connecticut cast their votes at the special election December 16 they should have no difficulty in choosing between the two men, Mir. Holt's record will make the League of Nations the chief issue of the short campaign and ought to be the deciding factor in the result. As Connecti- cut has twice recorded itself overwhelmingly against American participation in the League, the outcome of the present contest can be confidently foretold

WHAT BECOMES OF KILLERS? {?

Every newspaper reader sees accounts of many murders, but few are ahle to follow the cases through to learl what really becomes of the killers, excepting r few notable crimes
 One of America largest life insurance con- rtres has just fnisled the records covering 146 caseF ln which its pchcyhol6ers were killed by oth- e: persons. Here 'S what 1t found.
 Of the l46 killed, 32 were found to have been justified in killm.
 Of the remaining 114 killers, 45 were never in. dlced as P committed suicide 15 are still at large and were turned loose for lack of evidence
 Of the 69 who were indicted 16 were acquitted Il were mo trial'' cases was mistrial, so that only fl were found guilty.
 Of the fl found guilty, 35 are serving prison sentences, cases have been appealed, B have been granted new trials, paroled, 1 paid fine and one paid tue death penalty

RUNNING THE TOWN

There are always few people in every village or city who complain that certain set of men want to run the town" But those who kick most are usually those who do nothing to assist in the civic work of their communities
 Many who attend public meeting, nor take the trouble to vote, will stand on street corners and criticse their more active and patriotic nelghbors who do try to get necessary things done
 Running the town is not such delightful pas time as some imagine and the leaders in every con- munity are men who sacrifice their time and con- tribute their money to assist movements for the pub lie welfare.
 Those who are dissatisfied with their present leadership should get busy and give hand, instead of criticizing from the side lines

WHO WAS COLUMBUS?

Colonel Mansfield of London has recently come forward with the statement that result of ex- haustve researches he has proven, to his sats- faction at least, that Christopher Columbus a Spaniard.
 This question has been raised frequently and the truth may be positively known although Columbus has so long been thought to have been an Italian that the world at large will always sider him as such.
 However, his nationality is not important, ex- ceptng as topic for academic discussion. What he did is what counts and today enjoying the blessing made possible by his genius.

FARMING AND INDUSTRY

Henry Ford's idea of combining farming with industrial activities must appeal to everyone who re- alzes the enormous waste that is caused by shipping material long distances to be manufactured and then shipping it right back again to be consumed.
 Western states send their cattle to Chicago to be butchered and the meat is then hauled back to be eaten. The South haus it's cotton to New Eng land to be manufactured and buys it back the con- sumer of cotton goods really paying the freight both ways.
 Ford idea is to establish manufacturing plants, packing plants flour mills and other industries right in the farming regions that farmers might work part time in factories and factory hands could help on the farms in the busy seasons. He says:
 Isolation and monotony have driven millions from the farm to the city, but under this arrange men farmers could live in villages enjoy the bene fits of community life, and drive out to their farms for planting, cultivating and harvesting
 It sound sensible, Ford like, does it not?

FOOL-KILLER ON JOB

For once the fool-killer the job and pick ed the right victim, when F. w. Curran of Spokane pulled the cap of an automobile driver tightly over his eyes, causing him to plunge the over 5O- foot embankment.
 Curran was instantly killed while the driver and another passenger were unhurt.
 There are no words in the language with which to characterize such idiotc conduct that of Cur ran yet there are many instances of similar fool iehness
 Unfortunately, however, the victims arc usial- ly the innocent, while the criminaly careless ana foolhardy escape the consequences of thei: folly.

Our old friend Hamilton Holt is again i'll the limelght. This time he is running for the Senate in Connecticut to succeed the late Senator Brande
 geo. In nominating him the Democrats are run ming true to form, for he is of the most ardent advocates of American membership in the League of Nations that is to be found in this country. As a member of the executive committee of the League of Nations Non-Partisan Committee, MT. Holt has tour ed the United States featuring on the League of Ma

 To show where Mr. Holt s sympathies lie one has but to review the names of organizations of which he is member and the foreign decorations that have been bestowed him. He belongs to the American Scandinavian Foundation the Greek American club, the Netherlands America Foundation and the Friends of Poland Baltic American Asso- citation, Armenia American Society, France-Ameri- Society, International Serbian Educational con- mittee and Italy-America Society Of several of

SACRIFICE BRINGS REWARD.

In recent news item a very pretty story is told of the late Miss Virginia Lehman of New York who left the bulk of her million dollar estate to niece, Miss Gladys Stevenson, aged 19.
 The young girl had been very devoted to the spinster aunt, with whom she had lived for several years and who said in her will:
 'sShe has sacrificed many of the pleasures young people enjoy to be with me. She brings sun- shine and happiness into my life.''
 While kindness does not always bring such ma- terial rewards it is seldom wasted, and it never fails to bring satisfaction to those who practice it.

6 BOLD PIRATES WHO
BECAME FAMOUS
Half-Dozen of Those Who Sail
ed Spanish Main Left Their
Names in History

Of all the pirates who sailed the
Spanish Main there are six who left
their mark--in most cases a Black
blot-on the pages Of history. Any
Sne who pretends to know anything
about pirates should be familiar
with the names OF this famous hall
dozen, says the Washington ssar.
D'Oregon was the FIRST real gov
ernor of Tortuga, the island which
was the pirate den. He was able TO
handle them as no one else could
When he was IS he was an officer
in the French marines and was sent
to the West Indies with a coloniz,
ing group.
The scheme they had in mind fell
through, so young D'Oregon tried to
settle in Martinique There he had
trouble with the governor, who de-
eeived and mistreated him. Angry
and revengeful, D'Oregon sailed u
Join the pirates and in a short time
became their governor and direct II.
Bartholomew Portuguese was q
fearless pirate who became famous
for his many narrow escapes and his
willingness to stick his head Into
any kind of trap, and he always got
away.
LOlIonais was a Frenchman who
was kidnapped when he was just a
COY and worked as a slave ona'
West Indian plantation. Later he
escaped to join the pirates. He was
noted for his cruelty. His cHief
pleasure was burning up captured
towns.
Henry Morgan is perhaps the
most famous pirate. He was
WEIGH farm boy with a love OF ad-
venture, and So he ran away II in
home, going on a ship bound for
Barbados. The captain of that boat
sold the boy into slavery and, like
many another pirate, as soon as he
became free Morgan Joined the
British pirates on the Island Of ia
macia. SO well did he do tina, lie
soon bought a share in a pirate yes
sci and shortly afterward he was
made its captain.
He was natural leader and he
gan running other pirates with q
high hand. He did away with the
| pirate republic and set himself up
as king of the pirates.
Blackboard was the fercest look
ing pirate you could imagine. He
had long black bead, which be
braided into little tails with colored
ribbon. Sometimes he lighted taners
in the end of it! He had come If
q respectable English family and was
a sailor when he joined the pirates
He boldly raided along the coast Of
North America, where he was aided
by colonel named Bonnet.
Blackboard decided to quit pirat-
ing at one time and settled dowA in
/ North Carolina and was even par
doned by the governor. The spell
of piracy drew him out again, how
ever, and with Bonnet he went back
to his old trade.
He was finally killed in thrilling
battle with ship sent out by the
| governor of Virginia under com
mand of a brave young officer,
Lieutenant Maynard. Bonnet was
later captured and hanged.
Captain Kidd was the last of the
famous pirates. His father was a
Scotch clergyman.
He kept up his pirating until his
name became so famous that Eng
land sent out a special Warship tc
capture him. He was aarrested and
hanged.
