Strange Bed. Fellows

For Mr.. Burial I have moth
ing but the highest personal re-
gard. Politics, like necessity,
makes strange sleeping partners
but cannot imagine, even In
nightmare, Burial as q bed
fellow Of the publisher OF The
Republican and American. II
he should be nominated by the
Republican city convention It
will be interesting to see to
what degree Mr.. Burial will be
able to tolerate the sort OF cam.
paign the Pape newsrags Will
carry on in his behalf. He will
not be in an enviable position.
Pape campaigning is sure to be
pretty nasty IL 1t runs true TO
form and there are some things
at which men Of good breeding
balk. If Mr.. Burial wants the
support Of the Pape papers he
will need to develop a strong
stomach and a nose which can
Withstand the doors of the jour-
nalistic garbage can.

Intelligent Anticipation

The rape papers HuFs peeH
blathering about the Democratic
"juggernaut" and the city hall
machine" They have been vo-
ciferating about the rough shod
manner in which the Democrat
ic town committee Is supposed
to conduct its caucuses. In view
OF what has happened within
the last two days the Republican
and American must admit that
the Democratic organization IN
Waterbury at least goes through
the motions. II has never, to
my knowledge nominated a can
didate by the simple process OF
sitting q newspaper publisher
alone in his office and letting
him pull q name out OF his own
hat. The delegates to the Re.
publican city convention Will be
spared the time and trouble OF
getting together to Flick the
head of the ticket. Mr.. Pape
has attended to all that some
weeks before the convention
date. It may be, however, that
the delegates will not appreci.
ate the solicitude for their COM
fort which Mr.. Pape has shown
by taking the nominating Job OF
their hands. They may have
other ideas than being just Pape
puppets and insist on doing their
own picking. In that event
aspira nts for the nomination
may have something to say for
themselves. 1t may even turn out
that someone unmentioned to
date will be nominated. For his
own sake Mr.. Burial should
pray that something like that
will happen. He may never be
mayor of Waterbury but he Will,
at least, escape the social terrors
Of being q Pape candidate.

always in such a way that he
could not be held legally liable.

time or other in their lives ran
afoul Of the law! AND FOR

ic virtue. The Pape papers have
already gone to great lengths to
inform the supernumeraries that
they never will be made regular
policemen and that their Ap.
pointment was only q pre.eiec-
ton hoax. Not in the cause Of
public decency because public
decency Is never bettered by the

ments. Prices showed a slightly
downward tendency. Carlot sales
