JUST OVERHEARD

well. John. 1 attended that Democrat
ic caucus last Friday night. just wanted
to see how they did it and see how macn
the Democratic organ would exaggerate
the attendance. And say, John, it was
painful the way all their orators kept
away from city affairs except F. Harold
Dubord, who had evidently been reading
the Democratic organ and hadn't taken
the time to find out the half truths of
their statements. Nobody seemed to en-
tluse over F. Harold. however, and he
apparently cut his speech right In the
middle. Then there was Fred w. Clair.
of the caucus and the man to deliver the
keynote speech, and he did deliver fine-
ly written and beautifully phrased ora
ton, but do you know that the nearest
Fred got to Waterville was New York
City. He sorter worked back and forth
between Washington and New York but
not once did he take chance of getting
near Waterville. Then there was Hon.
Cyrus w. Davis, who made one of his
usual speeches. He told that same OLD
story about the Democrats making all
that standing in type down to the Sen
tinel and probably do now: and then he
made flying verbal trip to Augusta, but
even that was too near to Waterville
for comfort and he quickly made for
Portland, and for fear the echoes of the
fine business administration that Water
Vile had received during the past year
would reach even there, his next jump
was to Washington and, feeling safer
there, he remained until the end OF his
address. 1t was some caucus, tell you,
chiefly remarkable for what it did not
say, however, The leaders do not want
to discuss city politics, They know what
has been done and they do not see any
chance to criticize the party in power
and so they are turning to State and ma
tional issues to befog the voters. The lit
tie fellows not knowing any better and
aided and abetted by the Democratic or
gan, which is indulging in half truths
and all kinds Of insnuations, are repeat
ing that which the leaders know to be
wrong and which they themselves do not
dare to say. It may carry some weight
with a certain class, but the thinking
people of the city will never be turned
aside from the record of one Of the best
administrations that Waterville ever had
by the cheap slurs of a bunch of petty
politicians.

FOR THE VOTERS

The man who feels that he has no
time to give to the politics Of his home
city is unconsciously advertising his
small nature, his slavery to selfish ends
and his arrested development.
In the public welfare Of his commu-
nifty the voter Of today finds himself a
part Of an established system. 1t de-
ponds upon us today whether our city
shall be place where We may thrive
or a place where we shrivel up.
Nobody works for the mere pleas
ure OF working unless it be a certain
school Of politicians, and their work is
done chiefly in the imagination.
Nevertheless, an accumulation Of
wages means home for the worker
and his family and a provision for
sickness or old age. Although. too
much thinking Of riches and forgetting
the higher things that make life more
worthy Of being lived is very great
evil, 1t behooves us to work for uni
versal prosperity.
The central idea Of citizenship is one
Of relation to others. No one can be a
citizen all by himself.
A mans relation to government Is

GOOD JUDGMENT
IN n NOMINATION
OF MR.. B00THbY

From every side CONGRATULATIONS are
pouring IN upon the Republicans Of
Waterville for their good judgment in
nominating Hon. Frederic r. Boothby as
their candidate for mayor To people
living outside Of the city as well as to
seems to have been che Of the finest
things ever accomplished by the Repub-
Ecans Of the city. Mr. Boothby has
ffst OF all the experience. Why in Ger
many where efficiency is the watchword
1t is necessary for a man to work up
to the position of mayor, they would
never think OF taking n man and put
ting him up for mayor who on his own
admission had never taken enough in
terest in city affairs to even attend a
meeting Of the city government, and
who said that he did not have the
slightest conception OF how the city's
business was done, Mr.. Boothby has
not only had experience in another city,
but he has taken an interest in Water
Vile business, he has been a heavy tax
payer here for many years, he is a man
loved and honored all over the state of
Maine, man who brings to the Office
all the qualifications of leadership and
experience. Secondly he has the time.
No matter how able a man may be if
he has not the time to devote to the
business OF the city it must Of pecessity
suffer. Mr.. Boothby as a retired bust
ness man has the time that he may de-
vote to the city's business. He will
have with him the men whose hearty
cooperation made possible the splendid
showing Of the past year.

NATIONAL ISSUES
HAVE NO PLACE
IN CITY AFFAIRS

During the past Is or 20 years there
has been a widespread forward move
ment in municipal government to-
wards the elimination Of national is
sues. 1t has now become a common
have no place in city affairs. except to
maintain organization. In other words,
the issues in which national parties di-
vide are not city issues.
The attitude of the Democrats in
trying to force national issues before
The voters at the coming city election
shows that the leaders have no object
save their own selfish, fractional inter-
ests. or what is practically the same
thing, that tine welfare of Waterville Is
a secondary consideration
The voter who believes in such meth
DDS is nisled-the question is, what is
really best to do for our city, to elect
man OF sterling character and ap-
proved executive capacity or take a
chance with an untried candidate?
This year the question Of how to
vote is in no way ohscured by refer
ence to national issues Col T. E.
Rootlby. the candidate for mayor on
the Republican ticket, is q business
man Of wide reputation, the balance
of the ticket is pledged under his
leadership to the principles Of efflcien-
cy and economy. These facts entitle
these men, one and all. to the support
Of ali citizens who have the best in
terests Of our city at heart, whether
the voter has taken the trouble to ac-
quaint himself with the personal merit
of all the candidates or not.
1t used to be said, a few years ago,
by the fsint-hearted that Waterville
is a Democratic city," but this has
nothing to do with the present situa-
ton. Every voter in our city Is first of
all citizen and g taxpayer, and he
shares with his neiEhbors Of both par
ties the opportunity and the obliga-
ton to give the city another business
administration this year. Every good
citizen will repudiate the insinuation
that because he belongs to one par
~ or the other. he doesn't know
clean business-like administration
when we have one, and that he cannot
vote on the high ground of the COM
mon good regardless Of party.
Waterville has much to be proud of
and not least Of all. among its vigor-
Gus and progressive, educational and
commercial activities, is the last years
record of city government.
The people know what they want
that means they will get it-next Mon
day.

When it is recognized how easily the
cigar cutter may be the means of

dangerous nature, the days of this ar

after he has first held his cigar in his
mouth, step to the counter and put his
cigar into the cutter. This thoughtless
yet dangerous habit is so common that
it can be witnessed time after time at

spreading infection among those who
smoke cigars. and it is high time that

The. Grocer and the

seventy per cent. Of the food

over his counter to the family
larder. He is a neighborhood
institution. He comes in close
contact with his customers q.
all times and intimately
knows their likes and dis.
likes.
1t would be strange If the
grocery man were not quick
to sense the influence OF
newspaper advertising. He
knows customers begin CALI
ing for certain brands by
name when these brands are
newspaper advertised. What
is more natural than that b
should push these particuE
articles?
