With Election Day

one month away and old home week coming sometime soon, the trolley strike ended and other strikes just loom ing up, the people of Waterbury cer- tainly have excitement enough for the present. Say, politics is great game. Just imagine how the wires are being laid We understand every position to be had after election has already been spoken for, and what's more bewilder- ing, has been confdentia1ly promised. Wouldn't that twist your thinking cap a couple of times? Well, they tell us political promises are made to be broken, and we imagine there are whole lot of curbstone politicians who are well aware of the fact, neverthe- less they are ready to be fooled again. Now. we do not believe in hoodwink- ing When you. say so, always do so. That's our motto. and it's the only way to get the confidence of the people. For instance, when we say our 25c butter is the bestin the city, no matter What price yo1 pay elsewhere, we mean It, and cxffe butter proves it. When we saY our coffees are not equaled in qual- s4fy in Waterbury for the price you pay us we honestly think so, and when we say we will give No ' warranted good broom with. a pound of our guaranteed good Baking Powder, it's a fact; and Our nice tasting Tea at soc per pound is the same good quality that We al- ways sell; four bars of soap with each pound, at

title given to the collected addresses
Of Henry Watterson, ranging from the
memorial 10 George D. Prentice, de-

and the much discussed structures upon

Among the subjects discussed are:
Abraham Lincoln. "John Paul Jones. -
The South in Light and Shade. "
Money and Riches "A Plea for Pro-

horror stories as much OF the literature

take the scalp.
The worst Of these from the point OF

"A new conception Of society and OF

that their duties to others are equal. If

enforced in no small degree by the pull

preacher and the church. Strong spiI

Certain phrases which he has created

style is never coarse. He is more often
optimistic than denunciatory; and in all
these various addresses his plea Is not
