Waterbury evening Democrat., 1903-10-03

The nearer election day approaches the greater becomes the confidence or the laboring class that after January i one of their own number will De honored by filling the mayors char of the city of Waterbury. AS the rampaign progresses it becomes more and more apparent that no better se- lection could have been made for the position than that of James M. Lynch Not a word has been sa1d-nor could there be-against his character. and as to ability. that has been proven on more than one occasion. person who. while working every day at ms trade, takes up the study of law even ings and succeeds in passing the par examination with higher percentage to his credit than many college gradu- ates is certainly not lacking in mental qualifications. The most that his op- ponents can say against him Is that ne is q member of q trades union. ana that some time in the past unfon1sts have committed illegal acts. MT Lynch also belongs to several fraternal orders. and by scanning the history of these. throughout the country. it is not to he doubted that here and there In them would be found one who had strayed from the straight and narrow path. Why not take them to task as we'll as the humble uniOniSt, Who is doing all in his power to secure just return for his labor? in order that those dependent upon him may enjoy better conditions That this kind of talk will have an effect directly opposite from the one desired with intelligent people, cannot he doubted. Ir Lynch is a man calm and conservative in his views forms his own opinions after acquaintfng himself regarding sub iect. and if elected will go into office without a pledge to any clique, ring or individual Gan his opponent say as much? With that kind of a candl- date in nomination every workingman
 in Waterbury should be at the polls on Monday and give him their support.

eff John Elton wins this election he will win 1t by the biggest outlay of money ever heard of in a local election. and in no oth- CT way.'' said republican last night. eff the machine behind him buys it. it will not be much satisfaction to the republican party. ann sick and tired of the whole thing already A person would think that Elton was the only available man. He never was heard of in politics before. He must be jumped in now at the last minute over the heads of men who have fought for republican principles for years. But the rank and file of the republican party. are like a lot of sheep being led to the slaughter. They dare not speak what they think"
 The republicans have a score or more men at work in their headquar- ters on Harrison avenue sending out pasters and circulars to catch the un- wary voter John Kellogg is in con- mand, with Ben Kelsey as first lieu tenant. There's no politics in 1t. All these men are after is 10 save the town from being picked up and carried away by the democrats. MT Kellogg does not care what becomes of his own berth and MT Kelsey wants nothing, the only thing worrying them being the preservation of the city from the party under whose guiding hand it has grown from a small village to a city of something like 6O,OOO souls. Say, doesn't it seem like a huge joke to hear republicans blaming the demo crats for the big fire, the smallpox epi- demtc and the strike. They should go farther and hold them responsible for the rain and wind storms that have done so much damage oD and off during the past half century.
 Tn the course of his speech In the city court room Thursday, Attorney Gu1lfo1le hit the mark when he said that those who are now pretending to be clamorfng for the good name of the city were the first to injure it last spring He said, and everybody pres ent was aware that he spoke the truth. that one of the republican papers made statement one morning that was copied into other papers, and thus the good name of the city of Waterbury and its business reputation became bv-word throughout the country. There would have been no complaint to make had there been any truth in the statement made by the paper in question. But there was not the slightest founda ton for the statement The paper knew it then, knows it now, and is well aware that Mir Lynch will not run away with or harm the city in any way He said the paper itself does not believe in it's editorials. but is simply making these statements for political capital. When MT Lynch passed the bar examination that same paper said all that could be said for him or any other ambitious and honest young man. Now it is belieing itself.

A Pioneer Social.

The Green Forest Reading Club opened their doors to few guests at the home of Miss Bur- nice Foreman on last Wednesday, evening. Several of the members and their guests were dressed in costumes ill keeping with col- onial times.
 Mrs. Lee Smith read a paper on "The Settlement of the Ohio Valley" Mrs.C. c. O'Neal on "Mode of Travelin 1800o and Miss Burnice Foreman delightfully."- read Lowell's "Pioneers.'
 The various impersonators re- sponded to roll call by giving a brief sketch of the character they represented. It was hard to be- lieVe that the real Pocahontas was not present when Miss Bur nice Foreman gave thrilling ac- count of that dusky heroine.
 Mrs. c. C. O'Neal was the very picture of the much perse- cuted, Ann Hutchison, as she recounted her many trials and tribulations. That beautiful and cultivated lady, Mrs. Abraham Lincoln, was q uite handsomely represented by Mrs. Lee Smith.
 Madam Roland that famous woman in the early history of France was impersonated by Mrs. A. J. Tabor. fine heroine, Grace Darling, was appropriately repre- sented by Miss Grace Wells and the odd characteristics of that Puritan Maiden, Priscilla, lleenly drawn out by Mrs. c. k. Fore man, and the beautiful story of this maiden was more vividly portrayed by the impersonation of that stern soldier, Miles Stan dish, by Mir. Harden, and that lovable youth, John Alden, by C.. E. Foreman.
 c. c. ON cal was a most ex- cellent William Penn. if he did forget his ''thees' and "thous' '' occasionally. That gallant and chiYalrous Frenchman, Lafay- cite, with his powdered wig and golden @ buttons was tastefully impersonated by Lee Smith. Another favorite character of the Revolutionary period, affection ately known as 'Mad Antony VI @a5 ne, was represented 0y tfaaa smith. Frank Wells as PoWhattan was close second to his daughter. The first slave and an Indian girl were characterized by Jewel and Irene Bedding.
 After adjournment of the regular meeting the pioneers and Twentieth century ties enjoyed games and refreshments by can ale light until an early hour.

 The Missouri Pacific contract- ors are slaughtering beeves here today.
 Eld. M. M. Butler held services here at his regular fourth Sunday appointment.
 Miss Urice Clemeuce and twin brothers, Arliss and Onus, are visiting at Denver this week.
 The remains of Miss Pearl Swor, daughter of R. c. SWor of Coin, was laid to rest Sunday in Denver cemetery, services being conducted by Rev. Hatfield of Green Forest, who also preached at the Denver church Sunday night.
 The kindness of THE TRIBUNE to give mention of our citizens and mountain village is highly appreciated by our people, and leads me to conclude that your readers would like to hear from us occasionally. So inspired by the bright sunlight, pure air, the view of the opening foliage and the cackie of the roosters of Long and Dry creeks sounding, in ev- cry ear, an impression is created in my mind to fulfill my promise when in your well regulated office a few days ago and to see if l can be of some help to you and your trio of young lady assistants.
 Denver is on the boom. Hen ry Myers and w. M. Ayers are new merchants. We have now Beck, Mattox 6 Co.,; Myers Bros; Clemence 6 Boyles; Dr. Scott, druggist; Dr. c. $. Crock cit, practitioner; and pr. l.. M. Burch, the specialist; Mrs. Ben Robertson and Mrs. John Myers, miliners; Carpenter, Coady 6; Robertson Milling Co.,; J. A. Young and c. c. Kirkham land ing thousand acre real estate deal; Dennis Carpenters wagon and machine shop; and Wick Snyder selling threshing ma chimes; James Norris and Will (Red) Jenkins, stock dealers Harrison Rich, the banker and Mrs. J. A. Young feeding the hungry.
 Through the kindness of Hon. c. A. Fuller, 1 have received a CODY of the report of the ways and means committee of the ln- vestigation between Davis and Murphy & Go. An, ah! Will poor Jeff get a rest? Is there no more politicians to seek invasion on ,Jeff's bed of ease to which the grand people of Arkansas have so recently elevated him? Is it a hidden enmity to the voters or an aroused jealousy to Jeff that he might land on a scaffold higher, or has the picture appeared to the minds of the noblemen of his state that Jeff must be nailed to the cross that our high stations and million dollar theories may sink into oblivion and the blow boy and the one-gallused fellows assume control of the whole shooting match?

THE CLOSING OF SCHOOL.

Exercises at the Baptist Church We'll Attended Both Evenings.
 The capacity of the Baptist church was taxed on both Thurs day and Friday nights of last week on account of the entertain ment given by the pupils of the Green Forest High School.
 The program for the annual closing this year was somewhat different from the usual order. There were no graduates nor ex- tensive preparation for the event.
 Under the new course of study adopted by the board, on account of which ti,e school has been ac- credited to the state university, it is by no means an easy one com l pleted, and to graduate from the school now means quite a great deal.
 The teachers tell us that prac- tically no time was lost from the routine of school room work for practice on the closing programs to which the public was invited last week.
 With but slight. exception the exercises were carried out as was announced by both the in vitations and in THE TRIBUNE.
 In his address on Thursday evening President of the School Board A. J. Russell made a strong appeal to the patrons of the school for new school house, stating that 1t was above all the strongest public need of our town. He hoped the patrons would keep this matter in mind and that de- cided action looking to the erec- ton of a 5000 school building for Green Forest will be taken at the annual election to be held the third Saturday in May; that di- rectors be elected who are pledg- ed to move out upon this line, and let us have before the end of another scholastic year the new building well under way.
 The exercises of Friday even- ing furnished an especially en- joyable program, the literary feature being, on the whole, an improvement oyer the evening. before.
 If there was any one feature of the two evenings entertainments that is deserving of special mention over others, it was the music furnished. It was plain to be seen that the development of the vocal organs of the pupils have not been neglected, and We must say it is much to the credit of the faculty that music has been made fixed feature of the open ing and closing exercises of our school.
 A. a successor to Prof. Davis in the select portion of the past term of our school, Prof. Cooper has made a highly acceptable principal, being both an able in structor and successful in school government. His associate, Prof. Everett Faulkner, has been no disappointment. The few months he has spent in connection with our school has marked him as a young man of exceptional talent and sterling qualities, and he will certainly make a success in life, whether it be spent i'll the school room or elsewhere.

A Written Opinion.

A portly and pompous man once
held a commission as brigadier gen.
eral of militia, and license to prac-
tice law, neither of which,, says the
Green Bag, he had much occasion to
use. He finally had a case before the
Supreme court and proudly hoped to
see his name in the reports as ceun-
sci for the plaintiff above long and
elaborate opinion of the court.
When his case was called on opin-
ion day, he was enraged to hear the
simple announcement from the bench.
Affirmed"
After the court adjourned, he went
to Judge Mckinney, whom he knew
well, and said, Judge, / thought that
the Supreme court, at least, would
obey the law"
wherein has the court failed?'
asked the Judge.
1.-THE law requires that written
opinion be delivered in every case
this court tries, and none was deliv.
cred In this case"
The Judge had the rolled record
brought to him and glanced at the bot
tom OF the page. Placing his finger
on the abbreviation, "Aff'd," he said
to the ambitious general. See there!
