The following are taken from the
Sentinel of August 13. 1904.
“The Norwaik passenger depot

"Charles E. W’ing of South Nor-

Why is it that incendiarism is in
the air in this end of the state?
An answer that presents .itself
immediately is that sufficient and
varied amusements of a wholesome
sort are not provided for young men
Ind boys.
Who has forgotten the thrill.
when a youngster, of chasing after
the engines? It is akin to the excite-
ment of tracking Indians or shoot-
ing bad men.
Most of us drop our illusions of
‘ childhood as we grow up and
shoulder the responsibilities of life.
There are some few who because of
paralyzed functions cannot grow up.
They become murderers, thievcs,
. tirebugs.
Others go bad because of environ-
ment. Their overstrained nerves
need a “kick". Education has failed
in their case. So has family influ-
ence. as well as all the props of civ—

They offer a challenge to all our
welfare agencies and reform work-
ers. This challenge should be ac-

Homer Cummings’
“Futile Gesture”
Homer S. Cummings of Stamford.
'who from now on might. \wil be
called the eat-Democratic boss of
Connecticut. committed still another
tactical blunder when he attendvd
Is. session of the Dcmocrntic State
Central Committee in Hartford the
other‘day.
To a representative of the press
lfter the meeting he is said to have
remarked that the Ku Kinx Klan is
not a national issue and should not
be taken up by political parties.
The reason for this he is said to
have added is that the national gov-
.ernment can do nothing against the
”Klan and to denounce it by name
on the platform of any political
party would have been but a “futile
gesture."
There is still some political saga—
city left in his brain for he did ad-
mit Democratic dissatisfaction be-
cause of the party's stand on the
Klan issue. but contondcd this was
sure to disappear under the swell of
campaign oratory.
If Cummings is so certain that
the Klan question is not one for na-
tional consideration, why is it that
the three candidates for the highest
executive office in the nation have
taken particular pains to stress for
public consumption tho-ir views on
religious and racial toleratlon and
freedom?
Mr. Davis in his speech of accept-
ance in Clurksbul‘g dwelt \vith
strained eloquence on the historical
background of the subject and pic~
lured his own abhorrcnce of such
strife.
Sen. La Follctte went a step fur~
ther. called the Klan by name and
stated that it contained within itself
the seeds of its own destruction.
iPres. Coolidge in a brave, out-
spoken manner expressed is
"amazement" that he should have
been requested to interccde in the
case of a negro who was campaign-
ing for public office. He pointed
out that the Constitution granted to
overyonc, irrespective of race. creed
or color. political equality.
Here is proof, all offered Within
the past few days. that each of the
candidates recognizes
the scope and importance of the is-
sue and by their words appeals for
I. 1‘the support of anti-Klan voters.
. ‘ In spite of this political parties
have placed a taboo on the name
Klan. As far as short sighted poli-
- ~ ‘icinns are concerned it represents
.No Man's ground. It is shell in-
?etter keep off or
you may get shot. seems to be their
sentiment.
A fearless leader inithis class is
Homer S. Cummings. His conduct
at the recent New York convention
set him off as a perfect example of
the political coward and his words
at Hartford reaffirm that conclu-
sion. To guess aright public opinion
and currents of thought today we
,would recommend for him'a brand
new pair of spectacles. Those made
by Bryan are out of focus. even with
the polishing ‘Voodrow \Vllson gave
~ them.

“You cannot do wrong without
suffering wrong." Emerson admon-

Compensation). He quotes Burke:
"No man ever had a point of pride
that was not injurious him."
“The exclusive in fas ionable life
does not see that he excludes him-
self from enjoyment in the attempt
to appropriate it." Emerson contin-
ues, "The exclusion in religion does
not see that he shuts the door of

It is not safe for the United States
to be without a voice and a vote in
the League of Nations declares
Sarah \Vambaugh, formeihy an Am-
erican member of the Secretariat of
the League of Nations. "Therecent
discussions at the annual conference
of the International Federation of
League of Nations Unions at Nancy
have served to emphasise my argu-
ment. At Nancy the Haitian dele-
gate. M. Beilegarde. demanded 'Jus-
lice and liberation for Haiti and at-
tacked our presence and policy in
the island. As the conference is only
one of delegates of societies de-
voted to the League and not a con—
ference under the League itself. our
American delegate was no mofe un-
oii'icial than all the others and’could
himself mount the tribune and re-
ply to Bellegarde and explain our
policy. But that is not to be the end
of the matter, we are told.
"Bellegarde. who has twice rep-‘
resented Haiti officially at Geneva.
will again be there this September.
There. before 162 official represen-
tatives of the 54 members of the

in Haiti but doubtlessmur motives
also. And there will be at Geneva

tacks on our own intergational mor-

“The Americans. who will. no
doubt. as usual. be occupying half
the seats in the galleries, will have
the humiliation of hearing their
country attacked, and no answer
made. Many of these Americans
