The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-09-03

 can city convention is to be held MT. Pape has announced, through the Pape papers, the ticket for the coming city election. No matter what other ideas the del- egates to the city convention may have, no matter what candidates other than those of. his selection may aspire to office, MT. Pape has announced his will. Like it or leave 1t makes no difference to him. "The King Maker" has spoken! From henceforth and forever the Republican party in Waterbury must hold it's peace. The earl of Warwick, the Prince of Printers Court, has spoken. The court crier, Chairman Fred erick Palomba, may protest to the housetops that the city ticket as announced in the Pape papers is merely tentative. Methinks the gentleman doth protest too much.
 Pape is in power and in p3ace.
 "The King Maker" is at last the oracle of the local Repubu. can party. When he opens hia mouth no dog may bark.
 It were unkind to push the comparison between Richard Me- vile, earl of Warwick and Will liam J. Pape too far. However, it may well turn out to be that the battle of Barnet which saw the finish of "The King Maker" was only the second Tuesday after the first Monday of Octo- Der, 1895.
 Out of the Blue I do not take much stock in letters to newspaper editors signed Flair Play", 'cA. Inar- ticulate'', "Mustapha Change" CT like pen names. They are all fakes written in the office by hard working scribes who have space to fill. Or who have been ordered by the boss to write something he wants to be printed but for which he does not wish to be recognized as being 1espon. sible. The letter which follows, however, comes to me from an old friend who is Q teacher of English in a nearby town and who takes an interest in strange examples of editorial compost ton. He is in no way concerned in politics, being a 'bookish per- son. For that reason what he has to say struck me as being in- teresting. He writes:--
 Dear J. W. F.:-
 In the Republican of last Friday, 30 August 1885, I en. countered what follows. "Many mothers are weary of the long, unrcmitting clamOr for atten. ton and putting of ingenious questions by youngsters from which vacation time offers them no respite, but as be. tween the two evils of carrying this burden a bit longer or pOs- sibly having infantile paralysis forever l,1it capacities for mis. chief in Junior and Sister or maybe put a permanent clamp on their inquisitive tongues, they don't hesitate very long,"
 And also this:--
 "It will regrettably work hardships later in the year with the discOntent among teachers and pupils which curtailed holidays always bring, and with pressure and urgency in class room business difficult for both parties to the exchange of knowledge which is made thcre."
 My correspondent continues:-
 "I am glad to know that your department of public health in Waterbury has been able to ex. tort a word of praise from the Republican. But as I read the paper, every now and again, ann suspicious of anything I see in 1t and so am asking for an explanation of the two para graphs I have quoted. Is it possible that the p0stpOnement of the school opening is for the purpose of allowing idle pupils to attemptNto parse the quotations? If so you will not be opened come Michaelmas. Drop me g line sometime and tell me the truth.
