The Democracy of Bridgeport may Congratulate itself upon the re-elec- ion of Representative W. w.

 The choice of MT.

Today is Independence Day in Ar gentina and Uruguay, and those pros porous Republics of South America will celebrate the anniversary of the beginning of the war for freedom from Spanish rule. May 5. 1910, with with great national festivals in the cosmopolitan capitals of Buenos Ayres and Montevideo. Perhaps some whose knowledge of foreign lands has not progressed since school jog raphy'' days will be surprised to learn that Buenos Ayres is now the fourth it ranks thirteenth in population among the cities of the entire globe, and that it is by all odds the most beautiful and magnificent municipal ity in America. Washington, Otta- wa and Mexico are villages compared "The Paris of the New World" the people of Buenos Ayres call their city and add that the day will surely come when the titles will be reversed and the French capital will boast of being "The Buenos Ayres of Europe" diculous to one who has visited the South American metropolis. Back of Buenos AyreS is the greatest cat tie country in the world and magnif1- cent stretches of rich wheat lands a country capable of producing beNt and bread for half the globe. Back in the mountains are vast mineral re- sources hardly touched.
 The tourist who helps the Argen- tines celebrate Independence Day to- day will see a wonderful spectacle. but he will pay pretty penny for the privilege. The cost of high liv- ing is higher in Buenos Ayres than in any other of the worlds capitals. All of the wealth that comes pouring in from the interior has been spent Tn making the capital one of the archi-
