One for a dose. People's Column Devoted to the Interests of PublicSpirited Citizens Wishing to Discuss Matters of Interest In the Freest Possible Manner. A Defense of Captain' Delaney. Editor Star-Independent: From time immemorial it has been, and will no doubt continue indefinitely to be, the experience of those who have been most faithful service, most loyal to their well as caustheis unflinching in their fidelity to the trust imposed in them, to meet with and encounter unjust criticism, slanderous and outrageous misrepresentation and malignant falsehood. This has been the record in public and private life everywhere and who are giving the best efforts of their lives and achieving success in their vocations are the victims of traducers who, through their own record of dishonesty and disloyalty, are endeavoring to bring discredit upon those who possess an untarnished record for bravery, fidelity, truthfulness, honesty and loyalty.

Happily, however, the people of our glorious country possessing intelligence and fairness of mind easily discern such libelous and untruthful statements, which emanate from those who have no regard for the truth, and who seek by unfair means and methods to discredit the acts of those who give the best service at all times. Our own Commonwealth has had its full share of such cases and attempts have been made to slander and discredit those holding high places and who are making for themselves records which will prove not only enviable but a just rebuke to their traducers as well. 'The latest victim of the treacherous, communistic and serpentlike defamers is our own brave, loyal and honest friend and citizen, Captain John C. Delaney. But in him they have an adversary who is a born fighter, who at the tender age of thirteen years enlisted in his country's cause and served throughout the war, in which he distinguished himself for bravery and courage unsurpassed and who possesses as a reward for such service the Congressional medal of honor, held only by those who have rendered distinguished service for bravery during the war.

During his entire public career he has been the champion of the rights of the oppressed, has always been faithful and efficient in the service to the State and nation, fearless in carrying out the laws as enacted and at the same time just and fair to all, and for these qualities and characteristics he has made more friends and fewer enemies than almost any public official who has served the State. It has been truthfully remarked that there is something wrong in the character and makeup of anyone who is an enemy of Captain Delaney, as all who are fortunate enough to be numbered among his friends are ever ready to champion his cause and defend his record against the calumny of his traducers. The latest attempt to injure him unjustly will meet with deserved and prompt defeat and as in the past he will command the respect and commendation of all fair-minded people. Fred C. Hand.

UNITED STATES WOULD BE WELCOME TO SETTLE WAR By Associated Press, Chiasso, Sept. the great European powers have exercised their good offices in trying to arrange an understanding between Italy and Turkey on a basis which could be made the foundation for official peace negotiations. Both Italy and Turkey, it is understood, however, have declared that they would welcome the good offices of the United States rather than those of any other nation, America being the only country which is entirely disinterested. Indeed, perhaps the most important service already done to the warring nations has been through the unofficial initiative of Thomas J. O'Brien and William W.

Rockhill, the American ambassadors, respectively, at Rome and Constantinople. It is easily understood how intervention coming from so friendly and SO unselfish a source, undertaken at the last moment, might be most welcome, foreign observers of the Tureo-Italian relations believing that it would simplify the situation and pave the way to more direct negotiations. This may partly account for the high place occupied by Ambassador O'Brien in official Italian circles and for the special favor in which he is held by the Italian premier, Giovanni Giolitti. LABOR PROTESTS Several of the labor organizations of this city met last night at 310 Market street, where plans were made to hold a meeting of protest on Saturday evening, September 28, against the imprisoning of Etter and Givonatti at Lawrence, Mass.

Every day I carry, hundreds of messages to many thousands of men and women.

Never was there such a busy, worker, such a tireless worker, as I. 'A' purse is lost; I restore it. 'A home is without a maid, a maid is without a place; I bring them together. New furniture is bought. I find a purchaser for the old.

How many attics have I emptied, to the housewife's profit! Is there laundering, scrubbing, whitewashing, painting, sodding, to be done? Leave it to me! One man has a house for sale; another is looking for a home. They consult me, and lo! the house changes hands. Bookkeepers, salesmen, stenographers, watchmen-all kinds of workers--look to me 1 to keep pay-day alive. a Merchants and manufacturers call me, saying: "I want such and such help." In the morning they have only to choose. How my work is appreciated! People never tire of praising me! I am so swift, so faithful; yet I make no promises.

I simply do the best I can, for one and all. And how cheaply I work! I have sold secondhand automobiles at the cost of a gallon of gasoline. A man bought a piece of property, one day; the next, he sent me out to sell it; the next, the deed was recorded. He made $600.00, lese my fee of 30 cents. Is it any wonder I am popular? And isn't it a wonder I am content to dress in six-point type? Why, every day somebody telephones, calling me off the job, saying I have done enough.

I haven't always been as important as I am now. Oh, dear, no! There was a time when I had very few opportunities to exercise my talents. I remember how good I felt when I first filled a column. Everyone in the office talked about it. But now! Well, you can see for yourself how I have grown.

Yet how could I help growing, when I was all the time doing such wonderful things? I am still growing. The doctor says it is because my circulation is so good. I am glad of it. I want to become more and more useful to the people of this big, beautiful, growing city. If there are any whom I haven't served, I present my most respectful compliments and solicit a test of my powers.

As for my old customers, they feel, of course, that they can't get along without me!.
