VETERAN REQUESTS THAT MIR ALBERT FURNISH
 BETTER STATISTICS.
Waterbury, Conn. May 18th. 1885.

Editor, The Democrat:
 In last Fridays Democrat there appeared . letter by Nathan AL pert in which he quoted . lot of statistics from Catherine Mayo's Soldiers What Next? Mir Ai- pert through the use of these sta tistics attempts to give reasons why the adjusted service certifi- cates should not be paid. The sta- tistics quoted show a comparison between the various countries re- garding the amount of pensions granted by each country to World War Veterans.
 Some people have a habit of using statistics to suit their own purpose. Catherine Mayo lends her aid in the propaganda against the so-called bonus by using figures that have no relation to the sub- ject. Miss Mayo gives out figures as to the amount of pensions that are being paid by the various countries to their World War vet erans.
 The adjusted service certificate (so-called bonus) is not a pension. It is an adjustment of pay SThe four and one-half million Ameri- cans who served in the World War were granted a pay increase by the government. But for some reason or another have difficulty in collecting it. All others who had contracts or were employed by the government during the war were given pay adjustments and all were paid off in cash.
 If Mir Albert would furnish sta- tistics regarding pay adjustments made by the various countries to their World War veterans a proper comparison could be made. Using Catherine Mayo's figures is like adding bushels of corn to bushels of oats to arrive at bushels Of wheat.

Editor, Waterbury Democrat:
 This. Is station FACT broadcast ing. I want to enter a complaint against William ]. Pape who pub licly promises to supply pretzels and beer along the route to his Ben sherman Hill pow-wow for secret service agents. He forgot to remember. From now on I'll not believe a thing he says.
 He told the boys at the g.. o. p. pow-wow that he hasn't the ann bition nor desire to be mayor. But he didn't mention anything about liking to be a dictator-a Julius Caesar, a Charlemagne, a Napoleon Bonaparte. Of course he couldn't be that interested in Waterbury politics. Perish the thought
 He's just sort of patriotic; wants to see a republican administration in the City Hall. He loves his Wa terbury. Ha Ha!
 That's why he sent out such de- lightfully interesting invitations to the pow-pow, his pow-wow. He said on his invitation among other things: "The farm isn't big enough to take care of the republican party or even all the best minds let alone all the republican work CTS. At this time we are asking those men WHO MOST NEED TO BE GOT TOGETHER"
 He also wrote of the birds, the grass, the. trees and the flowers, as we'll as of free, parking, hot dogs Znd hamburgers. But he for got to mention the free-gas-the verbal bomb shells uttered by the stump speakers. He admitted he was "only a private in the ranks but tried to assume the office of a general, or was it the usual pre- liminary move of would-be dic- tator? :. We, all know how patriotic MT Pape and his papers are toward Waterbury. Here's Waterbury do- ing its best to uphold its fair name among the other cities of the state during the celebration of Connec- ticut's tercentenary. Where do we find MT Pape and his two news papers? Away over on the side- lines taking pop shots whenever they can The Republican and The American have absolutely refused to cooperate and little, if any, news of local activities has found it's way Into the columns of either paper. It is with pride that the public looks, upon the Democrat for fight ing to keep Waterbury's name out front. Could 1t be possible that the recent letter writer was right in accusing Mir Pape's papers of taking their bat and ball home because they couldn't run things at the exposition near Chase Park {? l. certainly seems so.
 It looks as though the readers of these two papers will have to be satisfied with pictures of Mir Pape and his good man Friday-E, Rob- ert Stovcnson--at q Bald headed banquet. or with interviews In which Mir Pape describes how pret-

Between Arkansas massive Senator Joe Robinson and King fish Huey Long there is no love lost--and Joe goes to no pains to hide the fact.
 Huey, who disdains asking other senators to put his speech- es in the Congressional Record, rose on the floor the other day and said: 'sMr. President, I ask unanimous consent to have 8 radio address printed in the Record"
 What is the speech?" de- manded Robinson.
 "A speech l made over the radio.'
 "A speech the senator himself made?"
 "Yes, and a mighty good one, too. The senator ought to read it.''
 "It couldn't be a good speech," snapped Joe, eff the senator from Louisiana made it."

Darkened Cities

Hitler started something when he cele- brated the rebuilding of the German air fleet by darkening Berlin at night as if for defense, while the air fleet zoomed over and blank bombs showered down. Then London and Paris followed suit And just the other night we Americans had a similar air-defense drill in Honolulu, as a part of the Pacific war maneuvers. Every street light was put out, every home was darkened. This sort of ex- perience gives many people delightful shivers. And to millions of others, shivers not so delightful. For aerial lombard ments in the next war - in any next war, anywhere will surely be accompanied by ruthless bombing of the enemy's cities.
 The effective damage in most cases may not be great. Some authorities smile at talk of ''wiping out" great populations and demolishing their cities by air attacks. But there will be at least great fear put into the hearts of all city dwellers within reach of hostile air fleets, and there will be many buildings burned and wrecked, and many men, women and children suf- located. A pleasant civilization, isn't it?
 New Haven is going to ask for $500,000 of the $3,000,000 that is to come to Con- necticut as it's share of the relief funds al- loted by the federal government. The money will be spent in highway and bridge work. All of which makes us conclude that Waterbury should not sit back and let this money be distributed without putting up fight for fair share. If New Haven can get $500,000 of the total, then certainty we ought to be cut in for a $100,000 or so less. There are any number of road proj- ects in this vicinity that could be financed with federal funds However, we would much prefer to see all such money as this go towards finishing up the city's sewage system. We need disposal plant; we need some more miles of trunk sewers. come in handy.
