of Editor Pape and his democrat ic crony, pr Arthur F. O'Leary, to Congressman Goss' summer home at Madison. That colossal blunder as exposed by The Democrat was not unnecessary bloodshed" and if The Sunday Republican omitted this prize blunder of the Pape-O'Leary campaign by honest mistake, then san apology to the public is such mistakes can be made, one of which would be by a convent ent lapse of memory on the part of belligerent editor.
 The Democrat has been too many leaps ahead of opposition papers in political news. That hurts. To have called the turn was unkind. TO have led in the field of news is another unpar- donable sin in the eyes of The Republican.
 The Republicans notifications have not been confined to local political affairs because thous- ands of Waterburians still enjoy a hearty laugh when they recall that its editor, in the closing few days of the presidential cam paign, frantically dashed off a few editorials, calling on the na- ton to stem the democratic land slide and save the country for Hoover. It may have been in- tended as humor. If not, then condolences are ready.
 
 All of which raised the ques- tion as to how 100 per cent. Hoover sympathizer could see anything favorable in & demo- Cratic administration. even through rose -colored glasses.

that were ours in the last few hectic years. Let us look with more optimism on the fu- ture. That can be done in no more fitting manner than by return to normal buying. We don't think there is need any longer of postponing purchases that you have eon- templated for some time but have purpose ly postponed for diverse reasons.
 Conditions are better. We must recognize this fact, even if we don't want to. They will continue to get better as long as the great American public refuses to subscribe to doctrine of pessimism. By putting what money we now make into active circulation we benefit ourselves, our neighbors, and our town. Waterbury is getting on its feet after many weary months of industrial stagna- ton. We must not assume the attitude that the worst is yet to come and campaign of hoarding is in order. People who refuse to spend their money now when they are mak- ing an honest living cannot have the good of the community at heart We are in duty bound to make our money work for us We can only do that by normal participation in daily endeavors. That includes normal buying.

O. K. With Us

Writing in the Waterbury Republican yesterday The Bystander who conducts a more Of less nondeseript column from time to time on politics evidently must have worked overtime last week in prepar- ing an elaborate eheek-up of the Water bury Democrats news columns during the past two months. He couldn't have done a better job if he had been employed by this paper to measure up space. It indeed showed a nose for news that should be re- warded in some better capacity than in just knocking out Sunday column. Maybe the writer. if he sours enough on democrats and everything democratic, will yet earn his promotion
 However. the Waterbury Democrat has no fault to find with The Bystanders s summary it's o. K. Colonel with us as Phil Cook was wont to say in his daily broadeasts. The Waterbury Democrat made every one of the predictions and as- sertions the writer went to such pains to reprint and it only again proves the sorry plight to which the republican party was re- dueed in trying to conduct any Semblanee of an election this fall other than com ing out and endorsing Mayor Frank Hayes. It was the sorreSt of sorry debaeles and shows to what low state. due to the med. ding of the o-ealled reformerS, the party, so-eaed, has sunk in Waterbury.
 There are hundreds and hundreds of fair minded and level-headed republicans yet in Waterbury, who the Waterbury Democrat knows. if the proper leadership was acquired could give an account of themselves at any election and would be credit to the city. But unfortunately for the party these men and women seem to prefer men of such type as Mayor Frank Hayes and his associates and apparently will continue to do so until leaders other than those with an axe to grind take hold of the republican machine. However, we started out 10 praise the etfl- eient and laborious work of The By islander and in returning to our subject think in conclusion that the only reason for all his elaborations of yesterday was due to the fact that he himself was not included somewhere, preferably a sure thing job, in the makeup of the present ticket. In the last analysis Andrew J. Cooney will prob ably go farther without him and the rest of his lk.

 MT Newton made some refer ence to a harangue delivered by me. The talk that I gave was a very moderate and a very mild speech to the boys expounding a part of President Roosevelt's pro- gram. It was not harangue, and it was not a political attack.
 If MT Goss was misquoted at that time, believe he would have asked the newspapers carrying the account of his speech for correc- ton. Furthermore. if he was mis- quoted he would not have allowed an editorial appearing in the Wa terbury Republican, csiticising his speech to go unchallenged.
 The manly thing for Congress- man Goss to have done under the circumstances would have been to have communicated with me di- rectly and not through someone in New Britain. I can appreciate the
 solicitude of the congressman | friends, inasmuch as his officia position in Washington Is. as you
 know, in jeopardy. Thanking you. for this space.

Natural Eating

Are not the physicians, chemists. biolo- gists and dieticians carrying this vitamin business too far' In their latest revelations they tell an increasingly restive public that chicken is only one-tenth as nutritious as liver. that green pepper contains twice as much vitamin C as the citrus fruits, and that raw cabbage is ten times as rich in that vitamin as eanteloupe and honeydew melon. These discoveries are doubtless interesting and useful The diseoverers, however, make the mistake of over-emphasiing the import anee of each individual food in the human diet as they learn its special qualities Peo- pie run after every emphasized food in turn. fanatieally until new one is advocated. Thus we have had our spinach, tomato juice Sauerkraut juice and other eras.
 Isn't it time to issue declaration of inde- pendenee? Let's tell the doctors we'll glad ly eat green peppers in our salads and soups but we refuse to take them as breakfast appe- tigers. We'll eat liver for our health but since it is ten times as nutritious as chicken. we'll only have to eat 1t one-tenth as fre- quently. After all what the doctors and chemists are leading up to, though few of them appear to realize it, is the discovery that the person who eats a good variety of wholesome foods is pretty sure to consume, through the week. all the vitamins and min eral salts and other nourlshing elements he needs He doesn't need to be a Self-con- seious food faddist.

Let Us Prepare For Change

One of the most perpleXing things about living in 1893 is that the worlds leading thinkers seem quite unable to make up their minds whether we are approaching a sunset or dawn. If you nose through the books magazine articles and interviews in which thoughtful men try 10 appraiSe the present situation you will find two schools Of thought represented. According to one school, the end of all things is at hand, and great darkness is about to settle down over the waters. Capitalism is done for western civilization is about to collapse and the world is about 10 enter new dark age.
 According to the other school, our woes are just the birth bangs of new order of life. We are going through great change and paying for it in misery and confusion but when the change is finished, things will be almost infinitely better than they were before. There will be more freedom and less poverty, more peace and less war, more happiness and less desperate uncertainty. Each crew of prognostieators can assemble a multitude of facts and whole string of clever arguments to prove its case You can get damnaton with your morning eof- fee and salvation with your after dinner cigaret if you like, and each forecast will seem to be absolutely fool-proof
 Now all of this. however conflicting 1t may be, seems to indicate one thing indls- putably; that we have reached one of his- tory's great turning points and that no mat ter what the future brings us it is going to be something different than what we have had before. For better or for worse, we have come upon a time of change and those of us who don't like change seem to be very much out of luck. Yet it is also quite possible that the seers are mostly wrong. The disasters they foresee may not be quite as bad as they expect; the inn provements may leave us only little bit better off than we were. The important thing is that we accept the fact that some sort of change is coming and prepare our minds for it.

The town of Orange won't lose its post office after all The Post Office Department at Washington has assured the townspeople through Senator Augustine Lonergan that the name of Orange will be preserved for all time. With but 1900 inhabitants in the lo30 census Orange had recently arrived at the point where its R. F. D. route was to be abandoned. This might mean that the name of the town would eventually be lost and perhaps Orange incorporated into the towns of West Haven. Since Orange traces itself back to 1922 when the name was selected in honor of William III of England it nat uraly would resent any efforts to drop the name at this late date. Any town would fight for its corporate existence. Evidently Orange needs little publicity. It ought to go about it the way that Union did some years back. Union is the smallest town in the state, less than 300 inhabitants all told. Yet in few years it achieved considerable spot on the map by being placed on one of the .most scenic highway routes in the state. It's now on the direct line between Hartford and Worcester. That was due to the good work of U. S. District Attorney John Buck ley. Orange shouldn't have to look for an- other Buckley what with Judge P B. OSul- livan and other intellectual lights in its midst.

Imitation

There has been little financial imitation so far in spite of all the talk about it.. The government has had authority, but hasn [ done much about it except by suggestion The obvious desire is to inflate as little as possible and hold the big cards till last Lately. with business grooming heavily about half way up the hill and new lift needed there is more inflation talk. Something definite may be done about the dollar - though nothing that the public has not been warned of for some time.
 Dollar devaluation is spoken of again as a ieal possibility. The President might lower the amount of gold in dollar to 60 cents. That would not be very big actual drop, for the paper dollar has been quoted lately on foreign exchanges around 70 cents. Incidentally it would bring our money sys- tenn back to gold basis There is talk too. of making this new dollar a commodity dollar" Once fixed, the quantity of gold in the dollar would be made to rise and fall with the commodity price index. That de- vice steadily gains friends.

It All Depends On You

A trial period is beginning for the Amer iean public. The federal government has been throwing all its influence behind gigantic program of business and industrial revival since March. The fruits of this drive, however. cannot become fully apparent un- til we. the buying public. subscribe not merely in theory but also in practice. By that we mean that normal business relations must be established between buyer and sell CT. Tn short. now is the time to buy. Many people probably still can't afford anything more than bare necessities. Others are more fortunate and should realize that their less fortunate brothers depend upon them to raise the latter's standard of living
 This Buy Now period which was inausu- sated today is not to take advantage of any peeisl drop in commodity prices. It l" asereIy to awaken the consuming public to the fact that we are emerging from the per iaA of dsrfsssian. Let us put aside the fears

A Book a Day by BRUCE CATION
When Prejudices Sit On The Jury

No laws, no rules of court pro. cedure and no constitutional safe. guards are as strong as human emotions. AS long as criminal cases arise in fields about which we feel more strongly than we think, there will continue to be miscarriages of justice.
 So says Arthur Garfield Hays Tn Trial by Prejudice" book IT which the well-known lawyer TOT the American Civil Liberties union undertakes to show just how ana why 1t is that justice occasionally falls asleep at the switch.
 For the most part, he says our legal system throws ample sate. guards about persons accused oi crime. In ordinary cases 1t Is very rare that an innocent man is con- yicted. But when any particular crime gets tangled up with our prejudices and our emotions. we are unable to reason, unable to bring an unbiased Judgment to bear; and in such cases, shocking injustices are done.
 MT Hays makes his point by re. viewing some of our most notorl' oug cases in this field: the Mooney case the scottsboro case, the Gas. tonia shootings, the Centralia l. w W. case, the Leo Frank case. the Sacco- Vanzetti case, and so on. He does not get angry he does no' condemn; he simply shows how emotion and prejudice can govern the minds of men.
 Occasionally, of course. a mar can be acquitted even when pubic sentiment is against him. Mi Hays cites few such cases In con- clusion-closing ironically enough by telling of the acquittal oi Banker Mitchell.
 All in all, Trial by Prejudice is an enlightening and useful book. It is published by Covici. Friede for $2.50.

The campaign has breezed into the home stretch and while the voters are on edge, some of the politically minded reporters and editors have gone analytical.
 The Sunday Republican, in it's analysis of political developments of the past several months, rue- fully attempts to take The Dem ocrat to task for its review of news coverage. The public real izes that The Republican has been chaffing because it's "big show" was exposed in good, in- telligent newspaper fashion. This has been from the moment the Seaburys were engaged to the very minute that carefully con- cealed plans to gain control of the E. 0. D.. were blasted to smithereens by The Democrat.
 Fair newspaper methods call for a truthful chronology if one is to be attempted. This being the case, the public today asked why The Sunday Republican did not narrate the memorable visit
