 Some time ago when Judge Warner haed to talk about automobiles and the Opportunity there was to make money the business in Waterbury people nought he was simply joking, but they 3ave since learned that what the Wood bury man had to say on that matter was all right and often wished to see somebody take hold of the scheme. At present and probably right along auto mob1les could be made to pay In Water bury and it is wonder some enter prising fellows do not get together and rTy 1t. Unless the strike is settled considerably more than half the peo- &pie never will use the trolley cars ex- t|N ,NQ e.l@ #when one stops to consider the number Tor people who hold this view of the Maffua ton he will readily see that pub IHc necessity and convenience require kft1e automobile service and when this
 condition exists there can be no doubt but that 1t would pay.
 One of the As You Like It mans ac- H quaintances says he was amused at ] the action taken by the board of fi- nance Thursday night regarding the salary of the supply clerk elected by H the department of education. He 4 thought the board must have forgotten the remark made not long ago by one of the republican members of the board of aldermen when a democrat lfvas talking economy with a view to &Rtting down the salary of republi- can official just as he had done with reference to that of a member of his Town party. The republican, 1t seems, spromptfy informed the democratic ora 1 tor that if he thought hay good enough 2 for his friends that was all right and republicans would be willing to see they got that and nothing more. but when he tried to put that kind of diet up to a republican then it was time to draw The line The gentleman was of the opinion that the board of f. nance would have been within its lines in recommending to the depart ment of education that the salary of ff1e clerk be fixed without reference to likes or dislikes.
 There was a clothing merchant once who did not believe in newspaper dd- vertising, but he does now. The ad- vertising solicitor told him that two Hines in the most obscure place in his paper would be read by nearly every body in that city. Prove it." said ]: the merchant. stSay anything about me you want to in two lines" The solicitor put in two lines saying the merchant wanted to buy 100 cats and POO dogs The ad was sandwfchsd between some medicine liners on an in- side page. That night seventeen boys and three girls brought dogs, and the next morning and until late at night his store was crowded with persons Iwho had dogs and cats to sell. One { time there was such q jam In his store that he had to close the front door and let those Tn the store go out by a rear door. Early the next morning , the merchant rushed to the newspaper ] office and closed up a contract for a had such an increase in business that new room will be added to his store.
 1t took Senator Tracy nearly three months to find out that politics cuts a lot of fee in deciding the fate of meas ures introduced into the legislature, but as soon as he found it out it didn't take him long to make it public prop erty so that really his election was worth all it cost supposing he did noth- Ing else but come out fiat-footed as he has done and let people know what he thinks about the lobbyists at Hartford Of course there is nothing new in what MT Tracy has said but coming from staunch republican it carries more weight than it would if demo crat, no matter how worthy, had SC spoken, and 1t counts for more, too than 1t would were it the wall of some disgruntled politician who had got 8 setback over something and was chaf- ing under the sting of defeat. The statement Is bitter pill for the ma. chine politicians of Connecticut, but they will manage to swallow 1t with out wink. Things are in bad shape in this state, but they will have to be worse before they will be noticed SC that the sooner they reach the limit the better for everybody.
