of New Britain, Conn.
New Britain, Conn, Jan. 21.-Over
1000 unemployed workmen paraded
through the streets of this city, the
leader carrying banner bearing the
inscription Parade Of hungry people
looking for work. !" It was explained
by some of the leaders of the demon
stration that hungry" in this case
meant that the men were hungry for
something to do, not that they were
suffering from the pangs Of physical
hunger. Poles, Germans, Lithuanians,
French and Italians comprised the ma.
jority of the marchers.s

The person who does not make a
success of small things will not make
a success of larger things. If David
had made failure of taking care of
the sheep and keeping off the wild
beasts he would not have made sue
cesSful attack on Goliah. The only
way person can be successful in the
future is to be successful now. The
pupil who falls behind in his classes
becomes careless and negligent of
every day duties; then stops school to
try to teach school is very likely to
wind it up the same way he did his
studies. If boy has been successful
as a farm hand, if he has been sue
ceSsful in lis first week of school. in
his first month or year, and ends in
the same way, he has something sub
stantial to stand on to make a success
of the next thing he undertakes. If
we were county superintendent, and
young person should apply for GER
tificate, we would carefully consider
his school record or his record in what
ever work he was engaged in before
granting licence to teach.

Our citizens deserve credit for the
pride they take in our schools. We
venture the assertion that not stud
ent ever went forth from our little
city, but went away with the best
wishes of our people; they gave him
encouragement during school life and
when he departed took him by the
hand and said, "God speed thee"
Not one who has finished the course
in our schools, wherever he may now
be, but wishes our town and her
people well, for it was among our
Christian people, surrounded by an
influence that was elevating and
noble. animated by the splendid ex-
ample OF our citizens that be re-
ceived the foundation which makes
him today the upright citizen in any
community in which he may live.

We want to be clearly understood
that we have nothing against DR..
Frank Pomainyille, the Democratic
candidate for mayor, as a business
man, citizen or neighbor. We have
known him since childhood. We are
fayoring and supporting Geo. W.
Davis the Republican candidate for
mayor, because he is equally a good
business man, citizen and neighbor,
and because he is a Republican and
this city has mot had a Republican
mayor since the two cities were con-
solidated. If the administration of
city affairs is to be non-partisan a Re-
publican should be selected occasion
ally to show that it is in fact nom
partisan. The city in county and
state elections is always Republican.
but in city matters on the nom
partisan plan the Democrats appear
to hold and get all the offices. Re
public Us why not insist on a ''divy"
Oh VIC to have it Republican.

part of political campaign is the un-
and uncalled for attack,
so often made on persons one way or
another connected with the candi-
dates. Personalities have almost be-
come a part of campaigning, and yet
there is no reason, other than the lack
of arguments, for such an indulgence.
The REPORTER wants to make its
course in the present municipal con-
test clear regarding this point. 1t is
supporting a candidate, for mayor,
George w. Davis, whose record as an
officer, business man, and laboring
man is beyond attack. His Qualifca.
tions for the office for which he is
running, are many, and it will be the
aim of this paper to acquaint the
voters with those qualifications, and
the good and substantial reasons why
he should be elected mayor. We have
no time or disposition to criticise mis-
opponent, or attack any man con
nected with the past administrations
for their personal short comings, but
it is our purpose to show the extrava
gance of the past administrations Sc
that the taxpayers can judge fol
themselves.

We know father in neighboring
town in this county who used to talk
to his boys like ne did to vicious ami
mails, and who used strap on them
at random. He said he was curling
their dispositions. In years to come
every one of those lads went to the
bad. In age they had no more re.
spect for that father than they did
for Satan. BY some means a father
should gain the love and admiration
of his boys.

Mrs. Samuel Parker, living at S67
Eleventh ST.. IN, Grand Rapids, Wis,
says: "Mr. Parker, is great deal
better since using Doan's Kidney
Pills. For some time he suffered from
a lame back and soreness across his
loins. His kidneys were very irregular
and he was forced to arise many times
during the night to pass the secretions,
They were hi hly colored and at time
contained sediment. When he saw
Doan'S Kidney Pills advertised he pros
cured boz and they went directly to
the seat of the trouble and he has not
complained of any of the old symptoms
since. He is feeling much better since

In these days of strife between two
great political parties we must remem.
Der that after all we are just band
of brothers here on earth, travelling
from the cradle to the grave. We
live side by side, our childrenI attend
the same school and after the smoke
of the battle has cleared away, we
will still be friends and neighbors
Let the bitter things go unsaid. All
best, life is short, and we get out OF
it full measure OF sorrow. Let us in
our little city live as one big. good
natured family.

ENDORSES EARLY CLOSING

l wish to endorse the early closing
sentiment put forward in the columns
of this paper.
To my mind it is high time that the
merchants of this city get together on
some of these points of common in
tereSt.
Let the stores close at 6 o'clock
every night except Monday, Saturday
and the 10th of each month, whenever
that date falls on another night than
Monday or Saturday evenings.
This movement is fully in accord
with the general progress that our city
is enjoying through the collected eff
forts of her citizens. Why not pro-
greSS all along the line-and while we
make parks, and in other ways beauti-
fly our town-giye the business class
of citizens an opportunity to enjoy
them. "Citizen."

There should be no fractions" in
this little city of ours. Every i'm
provement made enhances the value
of all property in and surrounding
our town. We should live as one big
family, and we believe few towns can
show up more progressive and intel
lectual family. We have as few
"black sheep" in our place as any
mock in the state. When there IS dis
cord in the family there is little prog
reSS. When there is a united pull
there is little we cannot accomplish.
Envy, jealousy and hatred pull US all
down. Envy is a canker that gnaws
at the heart and makes one sour, dis
gruntled and unhappy. Jealousy
makes one unfair in passing judge
ment; hatred does not pay even from
a sordid point of view. Let US all be
friends and pull together and show
our neighborS what a large and har-
moniouS family can accomplish in
building up town.

The more pleasing and pleasant oul
government can make farm life the
better it is for the government. Oul
cities are over-crowded with worthless
loaferS that might be honorable and
respectable farmers. The rural route
is one of the things that has been
provided to make farm life more de-
sirable and attractive, and as we all
have to live off the farmers nothing
should be left undone that could be
done to make the farm inviting.

Why not make the best of things as
they come to us? There are certain
ones in this town who have beer
complaining of hard time, ever since
we knew them, They could not enjoy
for fear the fruit buds would start
and then be killed. They know that
crops will be failure this year
There is always something DISASTROUS
going to happen. 1t is as cheap an6
you are worth more to your family
and the town if you VIII look on the
sun ny side of life.

LOWER TAXES.

George w. Davis, the Republican
candidate for mayor, has announced
to the voters of Grand Rapids that be
will use every effort possible, if elected
on April 18th, to lower the taxes.
With an outstanding Indebtedness 90
January 1st of slO7, TIT. 76-not includ-
ing the S55, 200 school district in
debtedness-this is Herculian task:
but Geo. w. Davis, will see to it that
the small leaks and useless expendi-
lures such as have characterized the
past administration are stopped. He
will see to it that for every dollar of
money expended, dollars value is
returned. If this is done it will be
one of the many ways in which the
city'S finances can be restored. In
tereSt on large overdraftS, eat into the
treasury of any city, and money saved
by keeping this as low as possible will
lessen the tax burden. 1t is conceded
by all, even those who are loudest in
their championship of the administra-
tion candidate, that when the taxes are
all in, that there will be no money
with which to run the city. This is
an alarming condition. and the cleo
tion of Mr.. Davis will be the only safe
course in which taxpayers can depend
on change.

LECTURE WAS
WELL ATTENDED

The illustrated lecture given by
Charles A. Payne at the opera house
Tuesday night on the Hawiian Islands
was largely attended and was pleasing
and instructive. 1t gave those who have
never read very much about these
islands pretty good idea of their
nature. the growth of flowers and
Vegetation, and the makeup of the
people. With the aid of the slides it
brings more wildly to the attention
of the audience the subject matter of
the lecture.
Mr.. Payne has been here before and
his subjects are always interesting.

What is the matter with the peo-
pie of our town getting together? In
past years that was one of the strong
factors, but of late there has been too

divided against itself must fall. 1t
will make US all feel better to work

A local newspaper is absolutely
necessary to any community. 1t is
the home paper that keeps the people
of the community in touch with each
ether by giving them all the news of
their own neighborhood and county.
For that alone they are of value and
worth far more than the small sub
scription price. They keep the local
pride and progressive spirit aroused
and in various ways are worth far
more to a community than COM
munity ever spends on them. The
large daily paper, with its large news
service and quicker facilities, may, in
some instances overshadow the
local. but the local home paper fills
a place in the hearts of the people
that those dailies cannot fill. 1t
comes to your home as an old and
tried friend, while the daily enters
as stranger.
