recollection is that Mr. Brady was very active in that campaign, and was not one of the mourners when the votes were counted.
 The senator in singing his swan
 song tells us that his advent into poll tics was in the spring of 1906 and ap-
 parently his exit occurs today. A brief
 life and merry one. In the spring
 of 1906 he was nominated for alder man by the democrats and endorsed
 by the republicans, the republican en- dOrSement being secured for him by
 George M. LanderS. In the fall of 1906 he was elected stato senator. In the spring of 1908 he was nominated for mayor. In the fall of 1908 he was nominated for comptroller In the fall of 1910 he was nominated for comp troller. In the fall of 1912 he sought the nomination for comptroller and was defeated by a fair vote in open convention. And in 1915 he was de- feated in a fair and open fight for the appointment as postmaster. In the interim he was a candidate for ap- pointment to two state positions under Governor Baldwin. This is a con- densed list of the modest aspirations of Senator Brady.
 llt year Ol I3lZ WdS all SVcllIlNl one in the genial senator's political life, for in the spring of that year he opposed the advent of Senator Landers into the democratic party and his election as councilman from the sixth ward; resigning as chairman of the town committee and deserting his party on the eve of election, which resignation apparently was not such a WondrOus sensation as the town committee filled the vacancy within thirty minutes after the resignation was written; in the fall of 1912 he was a candidate for the nomination Of state comptroller and was fairly beaten in open convention; and again in the fall of 1912 openly and strenuously op- posed the election of Simeon Baldwin the nominee of his party for governor; and again in 1914 he opposed the elec- ton of pr. Bray the nominee of his party for senator; in 1915 he was for the appointment as post. master and was beaten fairly in an open contest.
 "The straw has broken the cameIs back" Whether it Is the back of the amel which can go eight days with put water or the back of the political | camel which cannot go eight days | without political office, the senator i loes not say He is a genial fellow, | warm hearted, impulsive, and I have | always enjoyed meeting and talking | with him, and I have voted for him | o often and with such regularity that | he ticket for the last year or so has ! lot looked natural without his name
 "Good-bye, John, you had got to be habit with me, and I trust that you will find peace, happiness and politi- al preferment in the unbossed party f Roraback, King, Clark & company. Peace be with you and may your am- ition be gratified in greater or less egree."

No Need to Re Idle.

(From the Pittsfield Eagle.)
 The Boston Journal has been watch ing the newsaper advertisements and has come to the conclusion that there are 10000 jobs offered daily and only 2,0o0 persons advertise for jobs. It also <ays that there is a shortage Of lab0r, both skilled and unskilled, while there are numerous clerks and people of similar occupations out ot work. However, the supply of clerks, etc, would be still greater il it were not for the fact that many such are now employed as unskillcd laborers; In Berkshire they are found doing road work even. and many more peu- pie of this class would take up man gal labor now if they were physically Ghle to stand tho strain.

tates of the Democratic administra- tion; but they did have to protect the American people, and the only way to avert a disaster was to pre- vent the strike.
 It Is good that the light of reason is breaking in upon the presidential campaign. It is good for the RepubIi- can party that this is so, good for the Democrats. It is good for Presi- dent Wilson to have a full discussion of all things he has done, it is good for Candidate Hughes. And the only way an honest opinion can be formed among the people is for all the vari- ous points in the campaign to be brought out and fairly considered Up to pass aside many of the accom- plishments of the Wilson administra- tion and to dwell only upon those things that look like good meat for criticism. The cards must be placed on the board. If Woodrow Wilson has not been a good President the American people do not want him to go back In office for four years more. If he has been a good President in the face of many difficulties they will not readily displace him for man who has as yet offered no suggestion for betterment In the program he to tear to pieces.

A Political Soul Goes Through the Pearly Gates, and Then Is Weep
 ing and Gnashing of Teeth.

New Britain, Conn.
 Sept. 30, 1916. To the Editor of the Herald
 In a morning paper l read with some interest and a great deal of amusement the valedictory of our old friend and former fellow townsman, John M. Brady, wherein he announces that he has at last seen the light and has fOrsaken the wiles, snares, and wickedness of the democratic party Apparently he has become convinced that the light which has fiickered and beckoned him into the political byways is In reality the real thing and he will in the future be comforted and warmed by the effulgence of it's rays
 Our old friend at considerable length and I presume with his usual vehemence, details the indignities and abuses heaped upon him by the demo- cratic party during the past ten years; but it strikes me that either his memory or the memory of his Chron- icler is much shorter than the mem orv of the voters of New Britain, and in all kindness I am tempted to sug- gest that my earliest recollection of Senator Brady in democratic politics is of more than twenty-five years ago and relates to the defeat of Philip J. Markley for the position of senator by a republican named Corbin, and my

THE TWO GEORGES.

Of all the desirable attributes ir
 politics and politicians, fairness is
 the crowning glory. The speech ot 1 acceptance made by George M 1 Landers last night upon the occasion 1 of his nomination for Democratic ] State Senator insures a campaign
 waged against his opponent George w. Klett that will be ultra fair in all it's aspects. MT. Landers is setting a
 precedent in politics when he departs launches forth into fields anew. He admits the many good qualities of the man who is running against him. something which has seldom been heard in the political arena.
 New Britain then is to witness campaign between two men, either of whom will truly represent her in the state legislature, but each standing for different policies, for different politi- cal creeds. There can be no mud slung in the campaign, because there is no mud available, a very desirable condition. MT. Klett and MT Landers are personal friends They represent the highest type of citizenship in this town, in the county, in the state, in tie on principles. MT. Klett will stand firmly on the doctrines of the .Repub- ican party as known and practiced for generations. MT. Landers will advo- cate the new Democracy so closely aligned with the new. freedom a po- ltical faith that is diametrically op- posed to the reactionary Republican, ism. It will be good to hear the argu- ments on both sides as the campaign strikes it's stride and draws nearer to- election day. The race will be a steady one, but each man has enough stamina in the way of backing and ability to make it a good one, and one worthy the best traditions of a city that is rapidly producing a leader ship in all politics.
 It has been remarked that is it a cruel fate that pits such two men against each other in a contest that means the defeat of one or the other. That in sense, is true. From the personal standpoint it will be difficult to choose between them. It is some what like mother having to decide upon losing one of her two beloved sons. But personalities should not be the prime factor in politics. Princi- ples stand paramount. These two men are representative of all that is good or bad in their respective par ties and as such they should be judged. If one or the other shall fall, as must be the case, the defeat will be taken in good grace, knowing that either man, aside from his poli- tics, will do more than ordinary work for his home town.

Lift/e-Kn0n7n Sardlnia An Island Free From War

Washington, D. C., Sept. 30.-When ! the American traveller to its shores one of the few spots whose ruins will not suggest the sanguinary struggle which has brought sorrow and desolation to practically all that war-ridden con- t1nent is little-known Sardinia, the subject of communication [ from Helen Dunstan Wright to the National Geographic society. A part of the writer's descriptive article has been is- sued by the society as a geography bulletin which says:
 Those who have taken the Medt- terranean route have at least had 0 glimpse of Sardinia from their steam CT day out of Naples. The island is Tn sight for some hours, and if the steamer passes sufficiently close, pold, rocky coast can be seen on which Roman outlook towers remain similar to those scattered along the south ShoreS Of Spain. The tourist seldom includes trip to Sardinia in his trav- els as neither of his advisers, Thomas Cook nor BaedelIer, recommends it to him. It, however, is one of the few foreign fields that has not been over run and overfed by the tourist, and in many ot the villages a traveller is still regarded as a guest and not as a prey to be bounced upon.
 Some day, when tourists are tired of taking the tours laid out for them by the guide-bOoks, perhaps they will break away from the continent and set sail for Sardinia, especially if they are not travelling just to enjoy hotel
  tomobile at Cagliari, and week spent touring around the island would probably leave the pleasantest of rec elections and an experience long to be remembered.
 Sardinia can be reached by an eight hours night voyage from Civi- taVecchia, the port of Rome, to the north end of the island. The crossing is quito comfortable. The beauty of the sunrise over the sheer cliffs and the craggy isolated rocks of Golfo degli Aranci compensates for getting up at five in the morning.
 AS soon as one lands, a refreshing fragrance in the air is notiCed-a per fume characteristic of Sardinia-not due, certainly, to orange trees, as, suggested by the name of the port, there being none in this district, but to the many wild herbs and shrubs all over the island.
 Except for eucalyptus and pine planted near the stations there is noticeable lack of trees along the rail way routes. Among the mountains, however, which occupy the eastern half of the island and occur to some extent along the western coast there are important forests of oak, ilex, cork and wild olive. Tn the mountainous areas of the island are many fertile valleys.
 "The town of Macomer is the center of a region where many fine horses are bred for the Italian army, as are also the small ponies used in Naples. Cagliari, at the southern end of the island, is the principal seaport of Sar- dinia, and if often visited for a few hours by tourists taking the weekly steamer from Genoa and Livorno to Tunis. The boy of Cagliari is most impressive. On the right and left as you enter are hills, with mountains in the distance, while rising up from the lowlands directly opposite the en-

Tn the nomination of George M. Landers for senator to oppose George w. Klett, republican, the democrats have made a wise move. Certain 1t is that no other New Britain demo- crat has the political following, the prestige, or past record of achieve ments that Mr. Landers has. For years a prominent republican and later just as prominent in democratic circles, he has countless friends in both parties and if anybody Is tC wrest the sena torial toga from tho G. O.
