TUESDAYS ELECTION.

We have not heard any ali.
bis presented by those who die
not receive enough votes Tues
day to elect them to the OH
ces to which they aspired. Yes,
come to think of it, there was
one, if you can call it an abb,
1t came from Edward r.
Merrick, candidate for the of.
fee Of Mayor Of Plcasantville
on the Democratic ticket.
How did it come out, Mr..
Merrick was asked.
They did not come out, ne
replied.
Which just about expresses
the situation as it affected those
who did not win.
The vote was really a vote
of confidence in the various ad-
ministrations of the cities and
townships of the Mainland and
the respective county, Assem-
bly,, and Congressional Office
holders.
Assaults made here and there
upon regular Republican can
didates, including sheriff of the
county, mayors Of Absecon
and Pleasantvillc, also council
men Of these cities, and free
holders Of the respective town
ships of the Mainland did not
have any great effect except in
the city Of Northheld, where
Councilman Dunbar of the add
ministration ticket, was defeat
ed by Albert Barkof. With
this exception, every candidate
and Office holder was returned
to office.
The success of the admins
tration forces from sheriff to
every township and city Official
could not have been possible
except for the cooperation OF
the people Of the respective
precincts. People do not give
cooperation if there is any
doubt in their minds as TO the
fitness of man and the correct
necss of affairs.
The election shows once
again that the people of toe
Mainland do not have very
much enthusiasm for lndepcn-
dents, Stalking Horses, and
the like. Straight party lines
appear to be observed and
those who are candidates from
either party have more respect
and greater following than
those who, defeated in then
own camps, turn out to run as
Independents, or leave a
party from which they have Ia
ken favors and seek Office as
a representative of some otner
party.
Shining examples of this are
the cases of Charley kesler, in
dependent, defeated in his own
city by James Cimino. regular
Republican candidate for sher-
if, and that Of Thomas Craw-
ford, defeated in the Republi-
can primaries for mayor and
again decisively defeated by a
Republican when he sought Of
fec of councilman On the Dem
ocratic ticket.
Voters seem to have a we'll
founded appreciation Of the fit
neess of things. This they dem
onstrated in Tuesday election.
They placed their X mark of
approval Tuesday for results
obtained by competent hands.

tions is the necessity for State
wide coordination of our agencies
for handling crime. 1t has ceased
to be local problem and has be-
come at least a Statewide prob
lem, and it should be handled ac-
cordingly
In the meantime, if it be true, as
often contended, that it is better
that one thousand guilty should
escape than that one innocent man
should suffer, we appear to be rea-
lizing the fruits of that suggestion.

SONGS THAT LIVE

C.la hundred years ago there was
born rear Fittsburgh,~ Pennsylvania,
Stephen Collins Foster, whose best
known songs have stirred the emo
tions of four generations, and live
today in the hearts of his country
men IS do those Of no other Ameri-
can composer.
Millions who have sung and heard
them never knew the name of their
author, who was of a quiet and re-
firing disposition, delicate as a child
and never robust.
He began writing songs at the
age of IS, and by the time he was
20 his compositions had gained con-
siderable favor. He wrote in all
about 125 songs, of which the most
famous have a Southern setting, al
though he was born, lived and died
in the North.
Among Fosters songs which have
had universal appeal may be men
tional, "Old Folks at Home" "Old
Home" "Massa's in the Cold, Cold
Ground" and the exquisite vocal
quartette "Come Where My Love
Lies Dreaming" Those and others
have been popular on both sides OF
the Atlantic and their words have
been translated into many tongues.
Great musicians Incorporated several
of these melodies into elaborate con-
cert fantasies.
Foster wrote both words and mu-
sic of his songs, which made an epoch
in popular music. He died in New
York in 1864, but his plantive,
haunting melodies seem destined for
Immortality.

.ANAENIC TRUTH
Roy L. Smith

The best way to deal with here
tic, whether he is social, political
or religious radical, is not to lock
him up but to answer his arguments.
Orthodoxy pays Heresy a great
compliment when it demands that the
hereto shall be put behind bars for
that is a partial admission that he
has arguments that cannot be answer
ed.
Orthodoxy's alarm when attacked
is poor advertising. 1t gives the I'M
preston that the orthodox are not
sure of their position.
Twenty-Five karat truth has moth
ing to fear from error. 1t may suffer
temporary reverse but it can afford
to be as patient as destiny for the
centuries of eternity are its best de-
tenders.
The race has been building up con-
science on the subject of sex purity
for hundred of years. Can the accum-
ulated convictions of the ages be over
thrown by one speech or pamphlet
by some sex theorist Of the ultra-mod-
ern school? If our convictions have
so little vitality they deserve to- be
overthrown.
Religion has enjoyed the services
of the best brains, talents and con-
sciences of humanity for years. Ii
the religious life of the race is so
anaemic that it can be completely des-
troyed by the fulminations Of some
atheist or philosophical faddist then it
is certain to fail under the hard blows
of experience.
The professional economists have
long asserted that certain principles
of social administration were false
but Russia is trying them. The econ
omists can well afford to give the ex-
pertinent hearty welcome. If the
economists are right Russia will soon
prove it. If Russia is right all the
world wants to know it.
If the Russians become happier, en-
joy greater liberties and share in more
good things under dictatorship OF
the proletariat than we do under Dem
ocracy we will all want to live under a
dictatorship. But if Russia fails the
cause of Democracy will be stronger
everywhere.
Truth that must depend upon force
for its effectiveness is anaemlc. Doc
trines and beliefs that cannot be
trusted to take care of themselves
in rough and tumble world are hard
ly worth preserving.

BEE THAT SWARMED. ALONE

Said a wise old bee at the close of
day: .'This colony busiaess doesn't
pay. / put my money in that Old
hive that others may eat and live and
thrive; and | do more work in day,
by gee, than some of the fellows do
in three. l toll and worry and save
and hoard. It's me for hive | can
run myself, and me for the sweets
of my hard-earned pelf." So the old
bee flew to meadow alone and start
ed a business of his own. He gave
no thought to the buzzing clan, but
all intent on his selfish plan he lived
the life of a hermit free. "Ah, this
is great" said the wise old bee. But
the summer waned and the days grew
dreary and the lone bee walled as he
dropped tear; for the varments god

Christmas Mailing
Schedule Laid Out

There are 80 more shopping days be-
fore Christmas but persons intending
to send gifts to foreign lands cannot
wait that long, and in some in
stances must mail their packages
within few days, if they wish to
make certain delivery before the holt
days.
Early mailing and careful wrapping
of Christmas packages is the theme OF
Postmaster L. B. Krook's first warn
ing, in his annual campaign for public
cooperation in handling Christmas
mail.
eve will have additional workers for
the holiday rush season." Mr.. Krook
said today, "but unless the public
helps by mailing early, no number of
workers will be sufficient to assure
timely delivery"
Among details of mailing packages,
stressed by Mr.. Krook, are secure
wrapping of parcels in substantial
containers, fastened by heavy cord;
careful writing or printing of adj
dresses, with return address in up
per left hand corner and address of
person who is to receive the parcel,
near the center, and placing sufficl-
.ent postage on all parcels.
The schedule of mailing dates, an
nounced by Mr. Krook includes:
November 15-East Indies.
November 17-Australia.
November 19-Hongkong.
November 23-Manila and Shang-
hal.

Especial handling stamps are par

Publishing Crime Facts Urg
ed As Enforcement Step

Complete publication of all facts in
enforcement of criminal law, so that
enlightened public opinion can force
more thorough enforcement, today has
the support of the Minnesota crime
commission, appointed by Governor
Theodore Christianson to detrmine
causes of the crime situation and to
suggest remedies.
The commission went on record for
publication of facts in all matters per-
tanning to law enforcement in approx
ing a report by Wilbur H. Cherry, ex-
ecutive secretary of the commission.
Other reports, by committees and in
vestigators were not made public.
They will be woven into report to be
submitted to the governor in Deem
Der.
Public Would Press for Efficiency
Recommendation of Mr.. Cherry and
of committees are expected to be part
of the final report on which the COM
mission will act early designated to
frame the report.
There is now no provision for pub
LEGATION of the facts regarding enforce
ment of the law" Mr.. Cherry's report
said. "Let the public know in what
particulars we fail in the administra-
ion of criminal law, and there will be
not merely intelligent and widespread
support for good legislation, but also
a demand for efficiency and prompt
ness in the operation of the whole
machine.
The fact referred to by Mr.. Cherry
are such as the data gathered by in
vestigators for the commission, on
which it is seeking to base its recon-
mendations-recordso of police depart
ments; courts, and the state pardon
and parole boards.
Officials Need of Public Support
The commission was appointed aft
ter the Staying of Minneapolis
policeman by convict who was par
oiled and ordered out of the state,
without notice to the police.

the administration of the criminal
law could not long fail to respect an

GAS matters now stand, he cannot
avoid making enemies of those con-
scerned in behalf of the criminal when
he performs his task with vigor, and
against that clear fact he must know

the worth of his service"
Report Steering Committee Named
He told how commissions at Balti-
more and Cleveland gather facts OF
law enforcement and publish regular
bulletins. Mr.. Cherry also recon-
mended continuance of crime COM

May be one reason Diogenes car

for parking without ight.-Ex.
New Britain herald., 1926-10-05

Morrone then admitted he had been arrested for theft but had proven he was not guilty.
 Asked how he happened to be ap- proachef on Washington street, Hartford, by two men, Morrone said he was trying to repair tire and they asked him what the trouble was. He asked them where an ac- cessory store was, as he might be obliged to purchase a new tube.
 They then told him it might not be necessary for him to buy a new tube as they had some for sale, They left to get the articles and he told them he would buy them if he could not repair his tire be- fore they came back. The reason he told Sergeant O'Mara that the accessories were on the car when he bought it in Waterbury was that he did not wish to involve himself or anyone else in trouble, but when he learned that the sergeant was investigating the theft of arti- cles in his possession, he realized he better be truthful, so he told him of the Washington street incl dent and admitted he had not been truthful at first.
 To prove she was at a movie show the night of the theft, Attor- ney McDonough had Morrone give a resume of the entertainment which he did. describing the plight of a girl who was shipwrecked CT an island and the rescue and othe1 thrilling details.
 Sweetheart Defense Witness
 After testimony had been giver by shop mates of Morrone as tc where they and Morrone were or September in the evening. anl Miss Christine Farrell of Water. bury, Morrone's sweetheart. as tt where he was certain other nights MT, Woods asked again that prob. able cause be found.
 Morrone's story was fimsy ant he quibbed and was not straight. forward, the prosecutor said.
New Britain herald., 1926-10-05

"out Of his own mouth he has proven himself a thief" Mir. Woods said. His stories are as crooked as he is"
 Attorney McDonough contended that Morrone's story was straight forward and the court had an i'm portant duty to perform towards the young man, duty that was more important than the duty ot the court to the state of Connecti- cut, because it is better that 100 guilty men go free than that one innocent man be punished, accord ing to the theory of law.
 Every accused person who ap- pears in this court is called a liar by the state, MT. McDonough charged. That is unfair. To call a man a liar is a seriouss accusation. If Morrone and his witnesses were lying their stories would not, stand up as they had done even in the face of sharp and searching cross examination by the prescott ing attorney. Because they told the truth, Morrone's defense has been strengthened by the states attack, Attorney McDonough said.
 He complimented the prosecuting attorney on the thoroughness of his attempt to shake the stories of Morrone and his witnesses. No lie could withstand such an examina- tion, he said.
 After court, Morrone was locked up awaiting the arrival of his par ents, who will post the bond for his release pending arraignment in superior court
