No Mind Reader

It is not for me to presume to read the mind of Czar William the First. Presumption is not for the lowly. However, ask myself a question. Was his re- luctance to give encouragement and publicity to Settlers Village, when both were imperatively needed, due to his fear that'if if it was success the local Demo. cratic administration, which ha< leaned every assistance to th< project, might receive . little credit? Perish the thought Get thee behind me, Satani Csar William is ludicrous enough now seated on the throne as absolute monarch of the Republican party in Waterbury. But to see him racing along, holding his tenn porary crown on with one hand and nursing the faithful garbage burning pipe with the other while the imperial errnine drags unregarded in the gutter, trying to hop on the Settlers Village bandwagon Is an affront to all who revere royalty however re- gently acquired.

 In the meantime the blame for the failure to pass revenue legislation which would alleviate human suffering in Connecticut should be placed where 1t rightfully belongs. With the history of the past in memo ry no one could expect Repub- lican-controlled general assembly to act differently than 1t did this year. Searching through the dimness of the retrospect fails to- disclose any time when 1t did not place wealth above human well fare. The latest legislature has only run true to form. But con- ditions being what they were at the capitol the Socialists cannot escape the indictment of having wrecked relief legislation.

Band Wagon Hopping

At the Scandinavian dinner last Sunday night William Harris di- rector of Settlers Village, gave expression. to some provocative thoughts. The success of the Village which is unquestioned is due to the cooperation shown by the descendants of Water bury's foreign language settlers and in calling attention to that, fact MT. Harris was only being just. It would be extremely pleasant, if it were possible to do so, to include among the CO., operators the newly crowned Czar of the Republican party in Waterbury, Publisher Pape. I have been informed that when, the idea of the Village was being first considered Czar William the First-he was only the Czar- witch then - pooh-poohed the whole thing. It was a wild cat scheme; it would not get any place; 1t was 8 waste of energy etc., etc. etc. For one, refuse even to harbor the unholy, thought that the information is dependable. The "Czar" Is Wa terbury's First Citizen. He is aflame at all times with civic pride and community spirit.
 Away Back of It <
 It is simply unthinkable to suppose that he was back of the Settlers Village project, shoulder and back and legs. He was,-way, way back. In fact he was so far back that he could neither be seen, nor heard, nor read. THE DEMOCRAT did all 1t could to create interest and stimulate ef- fort among it's readers to the end that the Village be made what. 1t has proved to be, the finest tercentenary exhibition in the state. The impulse to do so was not inspired by the desire for in- creased prestige or enlarged cir culation. THE DEMOCRAT was concerned only because it was . Waterbury project. Its concern was not predicated on the pre-, sumption that the Village might be a success. Its interest was from the outset. It did not come into being when 1t became evi- dent, even to Czar William the First, that Waterbury was going to have another reason to be par donably proud of the result of its efforts. Attention is directed now to the respective attitude of THE DEMOCRAT and that of Czar Williams papers for no mercenary purpose. Ignored or sighted or damned with faint praise by them when the Village was struggling to get started the Republican and American are now trying to make amends for their former indifference to the extent of getting out a tercen- tenary special edition.

today was looking ahead to the

Rippy clicked off a record.

However, different courses and

been responsible. Also Rippy won
his first local public parks crown
