VOTE BUYING WILL BE DANGEROUS BUsINE

power with respect to the increase in relief rolls in election years, 1886 and 1888, and the decline in those rolls in the non-election years, 1885 and 1937.
 Are the American people to be subjected to this sort of thing again? And should it succeed again. what then?
 From every point of view, such tactics constitute one of the blackest chapters in American political his tory. They show 8 calculating un- ScrupulouSness on the part of the politician who will use them, and they reveal a cynical contempt on the part of these politicians for the character of the American people.
 But if it should be demonstrated again that this country has in it sufficient number of people whose votes can be bought by relief checks to enable the party in power to carry the election, what then?
 The situation will hardly be the same as it was in 1886; it will be far more ominous. Not only will the people have been sold out by that purchased margin whose votes are sufficient to carry the election, but the two-term tradition will have been broken. The implications of all this are perhaps the most serious things that have ever confronted us as a nation.
 The possibility of these things coming to pass has had sobering effect on many if not all thoughtful people. Many talk in terms not here tofore heard. It is said, for example, that if the present administration is continued in power by the employ ment of dishonest practices in the election, by the wholesale purchase of relief" votes, there are many men who will turn the keys in the doors to their business establish ments and close up forever. Hard working. honest men will not permit any government to take advantage of the nation in any such manner.
 If the politicians of the party in power are inclined to look upon the forthcoming campaign as just an- other one in which 1t is safe to win the election by the use of vote buy- ing and similar unfair tactics, they probably have mistaken the temper of the great body of patriotic citi- zens in this country, commonly called the backbone of this nation"
 This business of 6 third-term call- didate. all things considered, in an ominous thing in itself. But if to this k added the use of the governments money and power to corrupt the electorate, then serious days. indeed, are awaiting the American people.

No Damage In Explosion At Metal Works

A small explosion occurred in the casting shop of the Chase Metal Works plant on Thomas ton avenue this morning, but no one was injured, and the fire was extinguished without damage.
 Fire Marshal Den Lahey said the explosion occurred when a caster poured wet charcoal on hot metal. The blast hurled red hot metal through 3 chute and through windows on a tar roof.
 A telephone alarm brought four companies of apparatus to the plant at 8 o'clock. The firemen, directed by Acting Deputy Steph- en Bloomfield, quickly brought the fire under control.
 Fifty-five men are employed in !he casting room, but no one was harmed.

 fully aware of the serious nature of the implications contained in his statement regarding these develop ments, and that if past perform ance of the Administration had not been what it has been, he would hesitate to make public these facts and bring them to the floor of the House of Representatives.
 This accusation or query does not, of course, prove that the Adminis- tration will resort to such an un- scrupulous and dangerous method of buying votes. but it should serve to focus the attention of the public upon this particular possibility so that it may be watched with great care.

Days of ''Circuit Riders
 Recalled in Review of K EventfuI History

The First Methodist church of Waterbury will mark the 125th an- ntVersary of it's founding ia the week of October 6 to 1S with an ob- Servance of the world wide com, munion Sunday morning at 1O:30 o'clock: a birthday party of the Church Family Thursday evening, the 10th: and with the service Sum- day morning, October 13 at which the Rev. Dr. Henry B. Belcher, former minister of the church, and now executive secretary of the Brooklyn and Long Island society, will be the preacher.
 Tn the earliest days after its founding the church had a ministry of circuit riders" numbering in all le. Even after the establishment of . settled pastorate the tenure of the ministry was brief, following the early Methodist custom. The church has had fifty resident pastors. The first regular minister was Rev. Davis Stocking, and the ministerial sup port" he received was $100 per year.
 The first church building was erected on the corner of Scovill street on Union Square, 8 site now occupied by St. Mary's hospital. The city of Waterbury, including what is now Naugatuck, had 8 population at that time of about 5000 people. This first building was a simple frame structure thirty six by fifty feet in dimension, and cost $2,700.
 Site Cost $2,925
 The second church building erect ed by the congregation was on East Main street at the corner of Phoenix avenue. In 1850 the people entered into this new house of worship. The cost of the site was $2,925. The building was brick structure fifty five by eighty-flve feet, and was erected at cost of $16,876. For twenty-four years following the membership worsfaipped in this edi- flee.
 The present church building on North Main and Savings street was built 62 years ago, in the spring of 1878. The city had been grow ing and the church was growing with it, so that the building on Scovill street served for less than thirty years.
 The old records of the church show among the leaders the names of many families still known in the community: Abbott. Ayers, Bronson, Bordine, Bowen, Chapman, Chip man, Chatfield, Coe, Cowell, Davis, Gilbert, Guilford, Harmon, Mitchell, Matthews, GoSs, Brother, Potter, Robo, Swift, Goodrich, Thomas, Woodruff, Wooster, and others.
 For nearly twenty years, following 1906, John A. Coe, now president of the board of trustees of the church, was superintendent of the Sunday school. His tactful, systematic and thorough work was evidenced in the enrolment at that time of over one thousand members in the school.

1t was on one of his flights to
Australia in search Of supplies that
Archbold received the request from
the Ministers of Civil Aviation to
make a pioneer flight Of a new route to
England. The Australians wanted to
be sure OF having an alternate route in
case the usual one by way Of Singapore
should become impossible in time of
war. If Archbold could demonstrate
that flights over the Indian Ocean
were practical, there would be an air
way from Australia to England over
Allied territory all the way.
The idea struck the American as
not only sporting proposition but
serious venture. SO, having completed
his work in New Guinea, he took off
from Sydney In the Cuba on June g.
1899 Captain p. c. Taylor went along
as observer for the Commonwealth
government. The first stage was a
nonstop flight across the Australian
continent to Port Hedland, from
whence he took off Immediately for
the Cocos Islands. The Cuba reached
there June 7, and six days later took
off on the longest stage of the flight,
heading for the tiny island of Diego
Garcia. whittier the British Admiralty
had sent the cruiser H.M.S. Man
chester. Archbold was in constant
touch with the man-Of-War by radio
and allghted on the water alongside
her after flight of thirteen hours. He
proved to have been dead on his course
all the time. His next hop was to Mah6
in the Seychelles and the final stage
was from Mahe to Mombasa on the
kenya coast, where the Cuba arrived
June 21, eighteen days out from
Sydney. They had established beyond
doubt that the route across the Indian
Ocean was quite practicable.

So much for his achievements. You
never would gather even faint idea
of their scope and importance from
Archbold himself. If you press him to
give an account Of his experiences he

vividness of man reading from a
telephone directory But men like to
be with him in a tough spot because
they find him not only an imperturb-
