1 He will not permit them to show
in his Mirror of 1885,. When one
thinks, stated a neutral to-day,
that Andrew j. Cooney, Pape's
mayoraity candidate of two years
ago, can't even make sub-com-
mittee now, it's enough to have
the rank and file Of the party rise
and ask him to leave the party.
The Pape steering gang has
given similar shameful treatment
to others on last years ticket.
Candidates like Frank Downs,
Thomas Bane and others who
campaigned well and who rallied
at factory gates and in every
neighborhood, are disposed of by
Pape like so many peanut shucks
instead of being accorded the con-
sideration that common decency
requires. Such thing as political
courtesy is not to be found in the
Pape political Bible. 1t isn't
Courtesy he practices as much az
1t Is the fwell-known gate" and
that's what he is trying to give his
fellow buddies.
Pape, himself, who threw him
self on the lap of Hugh Alcorn,
COP. gubernatorial candidate last
year, aspires to be the Huey Long
Of Waterbury. He, too, would build
a Pape empire here and he Is fool
ish enough to believe the time
may come when the state republi-
can machine collapses that he
might sneak in as the party's
nominee for governor. Ridiculous
as 1t sounds, it's the chief ambition
In the heart Of Pape. He dreams
Of 1t over his bread and jam at
his Woodbury. hut.
That's why he is dressing him
self up now in clean duster.
That's why he is trying to make
an impression in the state by try
ing to cut Lieut.. Gov. Hayes ma
jority here this year. He Is trying
to sprinkle himself with the Elton
tinge of perfume. The Pape odor
of past campaigns and excursions
will not do, he realizes. That's why
he has dispossessed himself of for
| mer associates. That's why he Is
trying to ease himself into a Yam
kee lounging robe' at the expense
of q few tickle Irish In Waterbury,
whom he is trying to persuade
that they are dissatisfied and
should have grievance.
With his native British cunning
and his background Of history he
feels that If the British used the
Irish for centuries, why can't an
other Englishman use the Irish
just once more. ,f
Pape is trying to forget his old
friends but they will not forget
him. The O'Learys, the Whites,
the Blewitts, the Heberts, the
Stones, the Cooneys and the 9TH
ers will serve notice on his gang
on election day that they may be
out but not for long.
In his papers he states he is
skipping off to Canada to snatch a
little rest and to forget the cleo
ton for few days. He might
well add another paragraph that
he Is also trying to forget his old
pals, 1.-THE Forgotten Men of the
Republican Party in Waterbury,

Later he went with Mr.. Hull
to the Montevideo conference,
where he took such meticulou0

the latter rewarded him with the

the fact that Jimmy's knowledge
of Europe comes chiefly out Of

that.

Mr.. Hull himself.
CORDELL HULL is one Of
the most lovable and best-inten-
toned old gentlemen ever to
grasp the helm of the state de-
partment. He fears God, loves
his wife, calls lobbyists "prosti-
tutes," has healthy skepticism
regarding the motives Of big
business, but cannot seem to lift
his eyes above the petty piles of
political refuse that litter his
immediate vision to the hurri-
cane clouds beyond.
THE RESULT is that during
these, the most hazardous days
since 1914, the entire state de-
partment sincere, charming,
idealistic, as 1t is-seems totally
incapable of doing single thing
to stop the awesome onslaught
of another world catastrophe,
and stands rooted in its tracks
like babe-in-arms, fascinated

ABook a Day
Boy and Barmaid on
Lonely Desert Isle
BY BRUCE CATION


The noveIist's energetic search
for a new twist to an old plot has
led Hugh Brooke to write "Satur-
day Island" and the result Is an
ingenious tale which, unluckily,
doesn't make quite as much sense
as 1t sets out to.
Here we have, once more, the
old situation of male and female
cast away together on q desert is-
land; only this time the male Is q
12-year old boy, descendant OF
aristocratic Britishers, and the girl
is slangy ex-barmaid from Lon
don.
The two Of them land on q
Caribbean island after hurricane
sinks q Jamaica-bound steamship,
and the fun begins almost imme-
diately.
The girl is a motherly sort OF
soul who wants to take the child
to her bosom and do some large
scale protecting; the boy, on the
other hand, is a sturdily indepen-
dent lad who refuses to be moth
cred and insists that. as the man
OF the party, It il up to him to
protect her.
They get along, however, and
spend some two years on their is
land--getting so attached to 1t and
to each other thaht twhen rescue
finally comes they hate to 90
home. And 1t all makes very en-
pertaining yarn except for the fact
that the boy strikes me as one OF
the most spoiled and unappealing
brats in all fiction, while the end
of the story seems to have been
slightly warped in order to provide
the unacceptable does of romance.
However, we can't have every
thing. In the main. it's good sum-
mer reading. Doubleday Doran and

they understand it. But the exercise Of
a certain amount of taste, sense and judy
ment might well be urged to avoid the ap-
pearance of mockery and ridicule. The
drastic censorship in force in many parts
of the world today must not be extended to
our own land, yet it is reasonable to refrain
from telling our world neighbors every
thing we think about them, just as we
restrain ourselves in private life from CIV
ing unnecessary offense.

Selected Poem
PETUNIAS

(Hazel ]. Fowler in the Hartford Times )
Petunias are such vagrant blooms
with which to grace garden walk;
But mine grow for essences
For blue and pink and purple talk
That whispers forth with little mods
Above each triple stalk.
Petunias cannot talk. you say
All. but they do with gayest ease;
Have / not heard them gossiping
And chattering with .wayside bees?
And once heard them caroling
Ambrosial melodies.
Petunias are such common flowers,
But common things are for the wise!
SO many are the little ways
Immortal verities disguise
Themselves. Why. merest blossom may
Surprise,
il you have eyes!

WHAT'S BECOME OF THE
"P-MEN" OF YESTERYEAR?
FORGOTTEN MEN
waterbury. Conn.
Sept. II. 1895.

| waterbury, Conn.
Sept. II. 1885,
Editor of the Democrat:
The public wants to know where
are the Forgotten Men of the Re-
publican party" in Waterbury.
They mean Andrew J. Cooney.
James A. White, Charlie De-
Bissehop, Arthur Blewitt and the
legion of others that Editor Pape
had firing his balls for him not
later than two years ago.
The answer Is Pape has shed
them with the ease of the young
man on the flying trapeze. His
papers make no reference to any
of them in this campaign. Pape
has them bottled in vinegar be-
cause he wishes them relegated to
political oblivion.
Through political newspaper
lie by making believe all of his
former henchmen or P-men are
as contented as the Carnation Milk
cows but as a matter of fact he
has them snagged behind the we'll
known eight-ball. He has drawn
the sword on the threats of those
who played and jumped with him
in campaigns for the past several
years. He has no more time for
the Whites, the O'Learys, the De-
Bisschops, the Tobins. the Heberts
and others.
Why? Because he has thrown
away his old overalls and he has
stepped up on the political stage
this year in q new suit, clean shirt,
new hat and necktie and he pre-
fers to essay the role Of a. new
Pape; the silk Hated Will Pape"
who would hobnob with the 400"
and not as the old-fashioned Pape
who tugged on the end of an. old
pipe and who welcomed the COM
pany Of the man on the street
(plus a platoon of spoilers and a
squad of stool-pigeonD.
He had time In his home or
office, day or night, for confabs
with Doc O'Leary & Co. He trav-
eled back and forth to the Legis-
lature with them. He drank in
their information and wild tips.
He fattened on the fruits Of their
wild imaginations. He selected
them to be his front men in city
| elections. Now he has thrown
them in the discard, he believes.
But he has a sad awakening COM
ing to him. The worm turns and
they propose to stick him in the
ditch on election day.
Pape's 1895 brand Of dealing Is
SO evident that kindergarten chill
dren are aware of 1t. The proof
is in the fact that not soul on
the entire republican ticket In the
last election ia invited to the
Pape gangs campaign discussions.

Muchos hombres han sido enviados
a preside a causa de un error de iden
tificacion cometido de buena fe Y csc
probablemente hubiera sido ell desti-
no de un a~caudalado y prominente
residente de Boston, hace pocas soma
mas, de no haber mediado la inteli-
genie investigation hecha por la po-
hcia sobre ell asalto contra una ten
da. Samuel Kardonsky, dueho de una
tienda de Boston, inform6 a la poll
cfa que un desconocido habia entrado
a su ESTABLISHMENTS Y que, amena-
zandolo con una pistola, lie habia ro-
bado $4,000. Ell relate de la victima
fue c~orroborado por dos ~clientes que
estaban en- la tienda durante la vi
sta del bandido. POGO despues del
robo, dos agentes de la p%olicia, acom-
panados por ell tendero,
a visitar los lugares sospechosos del
~vecindario en- que generalmente Sc
reunen los criminales de baja esto-
ia, con la esperanto de que ell asal-
tante pudiera caer asf en- manos de la
justicia.
.Aquella jira Sc habia iniciado ape
mas cuando ell tendero senalo a un in
dividuo que caminaba por la Gale,
declarando que era Ell autor del robo.
Cuando ell sujeto en- question fue lie

agentes anduvieron con mucha eau
tela para acusarlo, y ESQ por varias
razones. En- primer lugar, ell dete-
nido habfa sido preso muy POGO item
pc despues del ~asalto, y Sc lie encon-
tro sin pistola y con solo 80 centa-
vos. Pero en- vista de la identifica-
cion hecha por ell dueno de la tienda
y corroborada por sus dos clientes,
ell acusado no solo probo que era un
hombre de ciertos ~recursos, sine que
afirm6 cue podfa aducir una coarta-
da a toda prueba.
No obstante ESQ, ell juez Sc vic en-
la necesidad de dar entrada a la acu-
sacion, fijando una cauci6n de-.
$~2,500.00, que ell acusado present6.
Ell mismo juez ordeno mas tarde que
Sc cancelara la acusaci6n, porque de
