lishment of plant for the manufac- ture and sale of electricity for light
 and power.
 There is now pending before the general assembly legislation authoriz- ing the city of Bridgeport to issue ments: New High school: new East Washington avenue bridge; new aims house; West End police station: Ninth District engine house. These are inn ] provements that are much needed in our city and most of them have been put off from time to time. While favor these improvements. I believe that the people, if they desire, should have an opportunity of voting on any of the foregoing improvements. Neith- CT do I believe that any radical changes should be made in our char ter without giving the people the op- portunity of voting on the changes if they desire.
 I renew my recommendation in fa- vor of procuring water front for a public wharf. Negotiations are in progress with the N. Y., N. H. and H. R. R. Co. for the purchase of prop erty bordering on the harbor. The price demanded seems high but nego- tiations are being continued in the belief that a satisfactory agreement may be reached without resort to con- demnation proceedings and conse- Quent litigation.
 Safe and Sane Fourth. I deem it my duty at this time to call attention to the growing senti ment in favor of a "safe and sane" observance of Independence day. One year ago I secured an active coopera- tion of the proper officials to the end that the celebration of the most glor- ious event in our country's history was we'll within the laws having to do with demonstrations of that nature. Because of these precautions taken there were fewer serious injuries to life and limb than in former years.
 believe that the patriotic ardor with which our citizens are imbued can find better means of expression than in the excessive use of firearms. honorable board adopt an ordinance, which while allowing a reasonable display of patriotic enthusiasm will prevent the observance from de- generating into general exhibition of disorder.
 I leave these matters, I have men toned, in the hands of your honor able body, convinced that you will cooperate with me in the future as you have in the past for the better ment of Bridgeport and to promote the welfare of all our citizens.
 In conclusion, I desire to extend body and to the heads of the several city departments and to all connected with the city government for their as- sistance and many courtesies extended to me.
 Respectfully submitted this 5th day of June. 1911.

Southport. June 6.-The people o1 Southport have felt for years thai this end of the town was not get ting its share of the appropriation oi the public money for roads. They are therefore justly pleased at the continuance of the work about the minor streets which are being re- paired under the direction of First Selectman Charles Fox. Gravel has been placed wherever it was needed and the roads wtE be oiled when the work of grading is completed. While there is no more money than Is real ly nee ceseary for road repairs this year Selectman Fox believes that Southport Is entitled to some consid- remove some of the eyesores which have existed here for years.

the old bipartisan machine fighting

there will be change, for have been
associated with young men, who kept
continuously serving notice on me that
they are going TO change 1t.
But they say this an age of radical
ism And may 1 ask, what is radical
ism? An interesting Circumstance
about the radicalism of our own time
is that it proposes a restoration
The literary theory of our institu-
tons is that we are living under re-
preventative form of government. The
fact is we are not living under a repre-
sentative form of government. People
are working now, not TO destroy, but TO
restore representative government.
I'VE know what we want, and both
parties promise to give US what we
want. But the fact is we haven't got
what we want.
IF we can't get it we will have the
initiative and referendum. If our re
representatives. do not represent US they
will be dispensed with We are not
thus doing away with representative
government We are simply maxim
sure that we are going to have repre-
sentative government"

Easy SaIesnlanship.

The smallest part of a salesman s
duty is the taking and execution OF
the customers order. If he is sell
ing nnadvertised goods, his time and
his talents are principally devotJi TO
persuading the customer that those
goods are worth buying, that they
will answer the purpose for which
they are needed, and that they are.
in fact, indispensable.
Newspaper advertising doesn't dis
pense with statesmen; IL increases
their efficiency by relieving them of
functions which can be more cheap
ly performed by the printed word
and leaving them free 10 hand out
more goods to already persuaded
purchasers.
Most people prefer TO shop where
shopping Inconvenience is reduced to
the minimum. They prefer 10 buy
where they can buy with assurance
of satisfactory results in the least
possible time. That is one reason
why the merchants who advertise
regularly in the daily newspapers
have the largest volume of trade
The consumer appreciates the kind
of craftsmanship which permits him
to make his selections at leisure,
with the aid of the information the
newspaper gives him and leaves only
the contamination Of the purchase to
a personal visit TO the store.

Strolling into my bankers in Paris
for any mail there might be for me, 1
was handed a letter from Bernard
Carey, dated at Thun. Switzerland.
Carey and 1 had been chums ever
since we were five years old. He had
lost his health in the Spanish-Ameri-
can war and had gone abroad for its
recovery. He had asked me to go
with him, but at the time a matter Of
Importance prevented. However, 1
was worried about him, and as soon as
1 could get away 1 followed him, for 1
loved him like brother and wished
to do what 1 could to enable him to
get well.
His letter told me that he was at a
hotel in the town Of Thun, on the lake
of that name. The town, he said, was
