4 PRACTICAL EXAMPLE,.

Putting aside all sentiment and treating the matter as a practical af- falr to be studied for the selfish. good that may be gained from such study. the example of Mayor Paonessa is the best lesson of the public success that may be achieved in this country by an honest, hard working man, that has come to local notice. Nor is it the intention to hold Angelo Paon- essa up as all that is to be desired in every way-an example of political perfection or profound wisdom. His case is cited as simple, plain indi- cation of what a man may accomplish without extraordinary advantages.
 Twenty years ago Angelo Paonessa came to New Britain with his bride. He had been construction foreman. He settled here. He treated people squarely and he took advantage Of op- portunities. He prospered.
 A little while ago he was elected Mayor of this city because people be- lieved In him and liked him-the bet ter people knew him the more they trusted him. The night of election someone called up his home to con- graduate him. He was not there His wife answered the telephone. You should be proud of Angelo" said the person to her. T an," was her fervent reply.
 Wednesday night Mayor Paonessa read his message to the common council. Those who supported him and those who opposed him as being of different faith, politically, were proud of him. In a measure it was felt that every member of the coun- ell had a personal interest in seeing Angelo Paonessa make good"
 This is the practical example of what man may do by the exercise of honesty and good faith toward others and by making the most of the chances that come to him. It is worth noticing.
