doing nothing. let them say so and
take the consequences. If it is Re-
publican approval of doing something
and a condemnation of using the
means to accomplish it. it is rank
hypocrisy and unworthy of notice.
Figures are important to register
results, but the astonishing figures Of
American recovery are not the most
important thing.
There has been no such volume
of recovery in SO short a time in the
whole history Of the world as occur
red here in the first six months Of
1888. 1t paused momentarily in 1884,
but 1t has gone steadily upward with
no sustained recession. 1t has in
cluded every form of human activity.
do not wish to burden this ad-
dress with statistics, but for the sake
of those who measure life by figures
on a table, I give you the essential
indexes of improvement:
Farm prices, SO per cent.
Farm income. SO per cent.
Farm purchasing power, 40 per cent.
Factory pay roll. SO per cent.
Purchasing power Of same, so per
cent.
Factory employment, SO per cent.
Industrial earnings, 35 per cent.
Stock market prices. 40 per cent.
Bank deposits, SO per cent.
Railroad traffic, 16 per cent.
Automobile production, 80 per cent
Construction permits, so per cent.
Industrial production. so per cent.
National bank earnings, 100 per
cent.
Decline in commercial failures, 66
per cent.
Increase in national income, so per
cent.
New securities issued. so per cent.
Perhaps the most significant of all,
to industry. is the decline of 66 per
cent in the rate of business failures
and the decline of bank failures of
100 per cent.
u. S. Agriculture Saved
From Impending Ruin.
But there are human values far be-
yond these figures. The important
point is not merely that farm prices
have increased, but that American
agriculture has been rescued from
impending ruin. 1t is not merely that
the condition of labor has been i'm
proved by the reduction of the num-
ber Of unemployed from IS millions
to 10 millions of workers, but that
labor has been dragged back from the
brink of peonage and that with one
fourth of our population destitute,
their health, comfort and self-respect
have been maintained. and there has
been no sedition, riot or bloodshed
during the worst catastrophe in our
history.
1t is not merely that banking and

SOCIALISTS ARE
 GOING TO COURT
Judge Inglis Has Sum. moned State Secretary
 for Left Wingers

Hartford, Conn, Oct. 13-U.PJ Superior Court Judge Ernest A. Inglis today signed an order conn manding the secretary of state to appear in court Thursday, at 10 a. m, to show cause why the left wing faction of the socialist party should not be given . place on the No- vember ballot.
 The order was signed on applica- ton of Harold Strauch, counsel for the left wingers, headed by Devere Allen. Strauch filed an application for an alternative writ of manda- mus with Judge Inglis at Middle townyesterday, which was taken un- der advisement by the jurist until today.
 Opposed to McLevy
 The left wing faction is opposing the right wing group of Mayor Jas- per McLevy, Bridgeport, which die vorced itself from the national party early last month over question of sovereignty.
 The both factions nominated state tickets and filed fists with Sec- retary of State c. John Satti. Sev- eral conferences were held with Ate torney General Edward J. Daly without arriving at 8 decision as to which group would be allowed on the ballot.
 Daly, it was expected, would rep- resent Secretary Satti at Thursdays hearing.
 The makeup of the entire ballot was being held up pending settle ment of the socialist dispute.

BIRTH CONTROL
 CLUB IS RAIDED

Newark, N. J., Oct. 13-CUP)-Po- lice announced today they had broken up a birth control club in which 800 women, most of them employed in officeS, paid g month"; ly and carried Identification cards.
 Dr. George Harley. alleged head of the club, is at liberty in $5,O00 bail and will be arraigned tomor- row in family court on charge of performing illec + operations, police said.
 His nurse, Miss Anna Green, was released in $3.000 bail and will be arraigned with her employer. on a charge of assisting him..
 Deputy Police Chief Philip Sebold said he searched the five-Story building where the surgeon has practiced for the last three years. He estimated Dr. Harley's income to be around $4,000 weekly.
 The police estimate that eight illegal operations were performed daily at 9 cost of $75 or more each.

OF STATE EXAMINED
30 of 5l Were Found to Be Quite GOOd-Call
 for Improvements

Hartford, Conn, Oct. 12-(UP)- Dr. Charles G. Chakerian, research consultant of the state poor law commission, today recommended widespread improvement of Connec- ticut'S town almShouseS rather than abolishing them entirely in favor of county or state institutions.
 Although his report to the com- mission characterizeS some of the almshouses As nothing more than waiting rooms for gravcyards," Dr. Chakerian said the town home syS- tenn has grown up in Connecticut through the years in such a manner that. at present, they are pretty close to being county institutions.
 51 Homes Investigated
 The report was made public fol- lowing inspection trips by members of the commissions Investigating stan to each of the 5l town-operated alnshouses in Connecticut. There are 169 towns in the state.
 Tt is not possible" Dr. Chakeriar said, ito tal.s in general terms oi either praise or condemnation"
 Thirty of the 51 almshouses, Chak- erian said, are quite good" Plain field has the best in the state Bridgeport, Stamford and Hartford are high on the rating list"
 Chakerian siad the report is but one of a series on alnShouses alone He said the abolition theory is an emotional reform approach" rather than a scientific approach.
 The poor law commission is pre- pairing 8 report for submission to the 1897 general assembly on all phases of the state pauper laws.

that wage increase demand is jus tified. All branches of the textile industry report good business, and leaders of the industry report a good volume of orders, not only pouring in now, but that the future is exceedingly bright.
 "Secondly-Living costs are ris- ing constantly, and textile workers are feeling the effects of these ris- ing costs. The effects are such as, to make it impossible for pres ent-day wage schedules to square with living costs.
 "A general advance of textile wages will prove to be actually helpful to the industry because il will step up the purchasing power of 8 great section of our population and make it possible for textile workers not only to buy @ greater quantity of foodstuffs but also te purchase clothing materials which they produce.
 "A general wage increase is 6 vital necessity to the recovery plan Not until textile wages are brought to higher level, will 1t be pos. sible for textile sections to enjoS the fruits of recovery. Every man woman and child, whether directly or indirectly connected with thil great industry, has definite stake This is particularly true of bushes; men. They cannot hope to prosper if big section of their patrons 1! unable to make . wage sufficiently large to permit them to go into tn, market places and purchase goods.

MRS. SIMPSON TO
 BE GUEST AGAIN
American Woman, Friend of King Edward Attract
 ing More Attention

| London, Oct. 13 - U.P) - Mrs. Ernest Simpson, American friend of King Edward VIII, will be mem- Der of party of "a few intimate friends which will visit Sandring- ham next week, it was understood today. The forthcoming visit to the kings Norfolk estate will add an- other royal residence to the one Mrs. Simpson has visited as King Edwards guest. She has already been to Balmoral Castle, Fort Belve- dere and York House. Mrs. Simpson probably has visited more royal resi- dences in Britain as guest than any other American, except possibly J. P. Morgan, who frequently was 8 guest of King George V at Balmoral and Sandringham.
 King Edwards visit to Sandring- ham will be his first since King George died there. It was the fav- orite residence of King George and Queen Mary, both of whom were known to have drowned on their sons friendship with Mrs. Simpson.
 It is generally taken for granted in court circles, when it is an- nounced that King Edward is invit- ing few friends to accompany him on trips or attend functions, that Mrs. Simpson will be included.
