fiyj'Either Mr. Brookcr or Mr. Hill are
Offsenatorlal size, beyond question,
“And the ambition of M1'.Bra11degec to
pureed himself is laudable It is'a
.11'lr1atte1 in which it would be easy to
develop a three -'corne1ed light, to do-
v'réat Mr. {Bl‘lilld'egee. 11 is one, tee,
in, which the. preferences of Repub-
licans in this vicinity would turn unan-
'imonsly to Mr. Brooker, for good rea-
"venue and he has only to declare him-
self in most to be assmed of hearty
.‘support. Whether it would be of the
'wiunlng sort would only become
known through the vote of the legisla-
t.ure E. J. Hill pulls a big string in
,western Connecticut politics, and Mr.
1, Brandegee apparently has strong sup-
. port in eastern Connecticut. If the
' Brooker and Hill forces could be null.-
ed id‘. favor of either of them, what
‘ would“ become ’of Brandegee would
’ ‘still' be a coniectme.
It is easy to see .tbat. them are some
members of the'so-called state Repub-
lican machine who are out to flay
Brandegee, Whoever -mav be his suc-
cessorz- This joyement had its in-
.ceptnin in Washington, in all proba—
bility; as a result'of Brandegee's failt:
are to smuggle 11p to Mr. Taft, and it.
was also" apparent in the refusal to
send. him as 'a‘ delegate to the Re-
publican national convention to nom-
inate Mr. Taft. He was bowled over.
So far as Mr. Brandegee's record as a
R United, States senator is concerned, it
seems to have.compared very well
1 with‘that of Senator Bulkeley—both
being~ partlculai'ly strong at entertain-
ing. E. J. Hill has done more as a
congressman than both of them taken
together as senators. if Mr. Brooker
‘ consents to become a candidate for the
- position, however, we do not look to
see Mr. Hill in the race, but, instead.
contented as one of the strongest
.1 , members of the lower house.
"iMruBrooker would make an ideal
‘ United States senator. and the place
“is one which needs just such a busi-
, ness man. It needs such a man more
Cthan‘, it needs an orator, which Mr
‘Brooker is not. It needs a man of his
conservatism, of his integrity, of his
11progressiveness and of his capacity
‘for doing things on the minute. He is
accustomed tomahage large affairs,
aid he will not fall short if. given the
opportunity to do the same for his
state and for Uncle Sam. As the Hart-

George W. Lynch Tells lrom Ex-
perience How Government
ls Managing Allairs
RISRRREES WIlH lRllRll
IN NEW YRRK PAPER
Says Olliciais Are Worthy ol Much
Praise lor Their Work
South Norwalk, Nov. ll.
Editor Evening Sentinel:
A11 a11icle appeared ln'a New York
mo1ning daily of Neiember 6 contain
lug statements which were e'ontladlc
tory to those 1 made in my letters in
your paper while i was in the Canal
Zone, and which. if taken seriously by
the American people, will workva gross
injustice to a. coterie‘oi’ men who are
now engaged on the. Panama Canal,
am"! who are giving the best venrs of
their life to the end that the canal
shall be a success.
The author of the article in ques-
tion is one J. H. Collins, who claims he
was a govermnent inspector on the
zone. He begins by charging I.lont,-
Col. George W. Goethals of neglect in
not following 11p his charges and mak-
ing Wholesale dismissals.
Non everyone know»; who has had
the pleasure of meeting Colonel (iflir‘ill
als, that he is ever rendy'to right
any and all wrongs that can be proven
to exist. regardless of who may suffer
by.it.,
Mr. Collins also says that a clique,
now controls the Canal Zone by meth
ods as despotic as those of the gover
nor general1of a. Russian province;
that it employs spies, etc, to punish
those who dare complain; that incom
pctence has been rewarded by promo
tion, etc.
Now, as a matter of fact, no man
receives promotion unless he shows
marked ability to hold the. position to
which he aspires, and furthermore, ev-
ery. man appointed to a position on
the Panama Canal gets his appoint.-
mcnt from Washington, D. (‘1., and with
it, he receives a contract, written and
5signed by the lsthmian Canal Commis-
sion, defining to him just what he is
entitled to 1ecclve in the way of quar-
ters,transpo1tation medical treatment.
hospital, etc. ()11 the nth 'hand' he
agrees“ to give a fair day‘s 'ork for a
fair day’s pay, and if proven an incom-
petent man he is paid accordingly. it.
is practically impossible for an incom-
petent man to remain in the employ
of the Canal Commission. in July
last a general order was 'issued by
heads of all departments to subordi-
nate ofiicials to weed out all those men
who could not'make good and fill their
places with men who could qualify in
their respective positions. So much
for his charges of incompetency.
He goes on to say that. at Gorgona
he 5th large sums collected from ne-
gro'waiters for breakage of dishes in
the government hotel. As a matter of
fact the waiters are very careful and
very seldom al’e dishes broken; in fact,
I saw none broken in the hotel where
I took my meals all the While I was
there, so I don’t think: the steward
there got rich off his force of waiters.
Mr. Collins also states that stores
were stolen from the gold mess—i. e.
American—to furnish luxuries for the
oflicers’ mess. Now as a matter of
fact the. Americans get the best. there
is to eat in the zone, regardless of
their being officers or federal em-
ployees And why shouldn‘t they?
Ther‘e is no oflicers' mess there. At
the place where I was assigned to duty
there was the one government whii'tel
and there all Americans dined togeth-
er—supervisors, commissarys,‘ , inepecs
tors, civil engineers, superintendents.
in fact all gold employees dined to-
gether,nnd1ali got identically the
same food, without any distinction
whatever. and the food was good,
clean, well-cooked and plenteous.
Mr. Collins goes on to say that he
requested Colonel Goethals to investi-
gate the Police Department, and that
its laxness was most notorious. I will
again tell you about'the police of the
Canal Zone. It is composed of young
men who have served in the United
States Army. many of whom are yet
erans of the Spanish-American and
Philippine wars.” They are. command-
ed by Chief-George R. Shanton, an
able, courageous, efficient, courteous
official, and, I w i add, a perfect gen-
tleman. Chief S anton organized the
corps four years ago at the direct re-
quest of President Roosevelt, and
they are amne body of men—a terror
to evil doers. They compare favorably
with any similar body .of1 men in the
world, and they relies-t credit on the‘
country they serve. It-‘should be borne
in mind that no police in the “’0ng
have to deal with a more despera
class of people than they do. and the 1
decrease in crime on the isthmus for
the time Chief Shanton has been there
speaks volumes for that worthy and
capable officer, who is also marshal
and coroner of the zone. '
Mr. Collins also pays his retipects to
the Kangaroos, an order which has its
court in every town on the zone. This
order is composed of the very flower of
American employees. and it admits
none by gentlemen and men of known
integrity to their ranks, nd their ob-
jects and aims are about a same as
any of our secret societies in the lini-
ted States. Mr. Collins says they
seem to be immune from prosecution
punishment. What for? Punish-
meat for what? I will say if {11.101.11-
garoo breaks .the law he will get all
the law allows.
_ber of the Katina
'oner, who has been investigating the
I hays seen a mom- ‘1)
ted f
'i‘l1at's‘1' prosecution, isn‘t it?
i am afraid Mr. Collins has run foul
of that beverage known on the isthmus
1s ilum Bolivar and which if partuken
if too freely 11111110111 11 1111111 set
‘thlngs" and also makes his imaginn
ion run riot. It has been said that
Rum Bolivar exceeds ()lll most cclc
brated Jersey lightning in its for-
reaching effects and that it will burn
wins in a wash boiler. Be that as it
may, 1' think Mr. Collins might be an
,aged in bette1 business than that of
slinging mud at those brave men who
are actually .bnlldlng the canal, and
who are braving the terrors of mine
ma, yellow fever, malaria and the (lO'I.
ensoi’ other deadly tropical diseases,
which, however, are happily kept. up
dei‘ control by 0111 brave doctors and
nurses, who deserve the giatitudo of
the entire nation for their devotion to
their duty And, by the. way, i notice
this is: the only department that he
does not. insult.
i hope any of your readqrs‘who may
may have read the article referred to
will not place much credence in such
an inmossible story as Mr. Collins
tells. 1

Our little friend has passed away,

He would follow the police around, '
All day or any time of night.
No more his little feet will go

For a cruel fate awaited him:
‘ And he is numbered with the dead.

He was superior to the man
That struck ythe cruel Now;
For he never tried to injure one,
Whether they were friend or foe.
He never picked a quarrel with dogs,
N01 got into a; his to
He seemed to h e a keen instinct
Of what was-wrong’or right.
Our hearts are sad, We feel
The loss of our little friend,
But time is short with man and beast,
And soon this life must end.
