Business Experience In Politics

It is very difficult as the election cam paign comes to an end to follow and to reconcile the various and inconsistent arguments put forth by the republican speakers who are arguing for the busting of the present administration and the replacing of them by the ticket headed by Major Burrall for mayor.and Mr. Rowland for controller.
 In one breath they argue that expenses should be radically cut, which naturally must be by reduction in numbers and in the pay of those persons that are in the public employ, and in the next they argue that all pay cuts should be immediately restored, which naturally means more ex- penditure, something that should be done and undoubtedly will be done when times get better and warrant it, and our fac tories, by an increase of business, get in position to take care of more of the unenl- ployed.
 But perhaps the strangest theory that has been advanced is that, because our two chief municipal officers are men of large business experience, and who have been reasonably successful in conducting their own businesses, that they should be busted.
 The municipality, with all it's functions, is perhaps the largest business enterprise in Waterbury. It has many departments the administration of which require busi- ness experience, and many employees. It requires level head, and a knowledge of how business is run, to conduct it. The offices of mayor and controller are not merely jobs, with salary attached for little or no work, they are not just honor ary positions, but require hard work and executive ability.
 The undeniable result of the work of the present administration has been a steady decrease in taxes an equally steady decrease in the public debt and the estab- lishment of credit standing that has enabled the city to borrow money in an- ticipation of uncollected taxes at the low est rate in its history.

DR. .KIRSCHBAUM
 VICTIM OF ERROR
The Republican Gladly Corrects Inference
 In Its Columns

Dr. Edward H. Kirschbaum' yes terday was the target of persons who bounced on an ungrammatical sentence in Friday mornings Re- publican and subsequently "joshed" the genial medical examiner about an illegal operation" which The Republican made 1t appear he per formed when, as a matter of fact, he investigated 1t.
 The Republican, in fairness to Dr. Kirschbaum. hastens to cor rect the error to save him from further comment. The original article said, in speaking of the death of a girl, that she "died of general peritonitis and pneu- monia, both of which were attrib- uted, to an illegal operation by Dr. Edward H. Kirschbaum. medical examiner. Dr. Kirschbaum per formed an autopsy at the hospital early this morning"
 The sentence should have read. "she died of general peritonitls and pneumonia. both of which were attributed by Dr. Edward Fl. Kirschbaum. medical examiner. t0 an illegal operation" Just a trans position of phrases. The Intent of the sentence was correctly Inter- preted by most persons but q few have persisted in calling attention to the inference that Dr. kirsch- baum himself was guilty Of q fei- ony, where as all who know him will be quick Co recognize that he Is perhaps ono Of the staunehest foes of an illegality in surgery.

 70. What ifs the United States narcotic farm at Lexington, Ky?
 A. It Is a hospital conducted by the United States public health service for the treatment of per- sons addicted to habit-forming drugs, primarily for persons who have committed offences against the United States; but persons placed on probation by federal courts, and voluntary patients, are also accepted.
 o. What is the origin of the ex- precision Even the worm will turn?"
 A. The proverb, thread on . worm and 1t vii lturn" is from the Greek, taken over by a number of Latin writers. A similar Greek proverb reads: "Even the ant and the worm have their wrath" This has given us the phrase ''the worm turns" meaning that oppressed people will rebel at some time if pressed too far.

Speaking of Sloppy Papers!
Here's Couple of Beauts for Which We Scarcely Think Mayor Hayes Or Anyone Else Would Compli-
 'ment The American-R Republican.
First let us reprint an Editorial from the Waterbury American of oct. 3rd: t+ 5lt
NEWS FOR THE DEMOCRAT

"It was 8 sad day for Water- bury" The Democrat lamented yesterday afternoon, rehashing an old editorial complaint, at the
 bottom if its first page, when the Waterbury American chang ed hands and Editor Carl M. Chapin died" Now if there is one thing on which the editors of The Democrat ostentatiously pride themselves, beyond all others, it is a conviction that they know their Waterbury, and the lives of its famous men, far
 better than the 'carpetbaggers," as they. call us, who publish and edit The American and The Republican. One historic fact they apparently never / have armed, however, is that the name of The Americans dis tinguished former editor, who died nine years ago. was not Carl M. Chapin, but Charles Frederic Chapin. Carl M. Chapin is MT. Chapin's son, and by our last report of him, he was very much alive. Charles Frederic Chapin served as editor of The Ameri- can for 48 years. Perhaps 1t is only natural that the editors of The Democrat are not yet quite clear about his name and iden- tity. Give them time. They have had only 57 years to learn 1t, and they are making encourage ing progress. At least they have discovered that the last name was Chapin. q
 The editors of the Waterbury American take us for ride for meking an error in last Wednes- days Democrat regarding the name of the former editor MT. Charles Frederic Chapin who died 9 years ago. The Democrat inad- vertently used the name of his son Carl M. Chapin. The Ameri- can says we have only had ,57 years to, learn it.

large consignments of cotton waste were leaving Norfolk. As there had been no shipments of this commodity from any port for years, the agent relayed the news to Washington. A cheek there revealed the interesting fact that in recent weeks Italy purchased thousands of tons of this material.

This will give them cause for a new attack against the act when congress reconvenes in January. .. The repainting of the great dome of the Capitol will add 1000 pounds to its weight.

It is difficult to visualize the vastness of Ethiopia, which is just one part of Africa. Unfortunately threats of war make us realize how limited is our knowl- edge of far-off lands Take Ethiopia, for instance. A contour map lines up for us an area of 35O,OOO square miles, partly desert territory with series of mountains in the interior. The central plateau region is about 5000 feet in height. Much of the country is unexplored. One cannot inn agine many if any happy landing spots for armen.

The Hartford Courant says editorially of the late former governor, Frank B. Weeks, well known and highly respected in these parts: "He deserves to be remem- bered, not because of the one year and eight months during which he was gover- nor, but because of the many useful years he spent as a private citizen whose life was marked in the main by patient service rather than by brilliant exploits"

A Thought for Today
What Do We Want?

That is exactly the question for each of us to decide before voting in the city cleo tion next Tuesday. What do we want from the city government and which is most likely to give it to us, Frank Hayes or John Burrall? On the one hand we have record of achievement, on the other flood of personal abuse uncertain promises and unfounded charges. Just what has Mayor Hayes done for us? Here are a few things his administration has done:
 Steadily reduced the tax rate
 Constantly decreased the city debt.
 Strengthened the city's credit stand
 ing, so that it can borrow money in
 anticipation of taxes at the very low
 est rate.
 Kept the city reasonably free from
 serious crime, so that it is one of the
 safest cities in the United States to
 live in. No murders or Kidnapping
 here.
 Sponsored one of the best systems
 in the country for the relief of unem-
 ployment and distress.
 Improved our principal streets and
 many others. Just look at them and
 compare them with what they were few years ago.
 Kept our schools and parks up to their high standard.
 These are just few of the things that he and his fellow officials have done. These are facts, undeniable and uncon- tradicted.
 On the other side, just promises. Noth- ing definite at all and nobody knows what they mean. To raise everybody's wages and at the same time to cut down expenses. To dismiss lot of employees and yet have more work done. Personal abuse and in- situations, yes, lots of it, but no facts to back any of it up. Perhaps the staunch old line republicans of Waterbury are proud of this sort of campaign, but we do not believe they are, and, from the tid- ings that reach the Democrat from time to time, we are pretty sure that they are not Just ask some of them.
 A campaign based on a difference of opinion as to the policies to be adopted in city government is all right. Everybody has right to his own way of thinking and to express it. But what are the policies the republican candidates advocate and what specific changes do they promise to carry out? We don't know, nobody does.
 So there is the real issue. Shall we turn out an efficient administration, which has done the very best it could, reduced our cost of government, our tax rate and our debt and put one in that doesn't know what it stands for, or what way it is going except that it wants the jobs?
 Get out and vote Tuesday and, if you want efficiency and economy, in it's true sense, vote the straight democratic ticket

MIR. HAYES sLIGHTs
 DEMOCRAT t


 An editor may praise his own newspaper, but the appraisement that the. public will most give heed to. is the readers own, based on what he finds in it from day to day. The Waterbury Democrat has been the willing instrument of the Hayes-Leary administration. One might expect from that source a gratitude that would blind everyone in the city hall to any weaknesses of that publication which have become apparent. The more might this be expected since the publication has done its best to make good for the fact that it's messages carry so incompletely to the reading public of our city, by distributing free, to thousands of homes. issues carrying the city halls political messages in this campaign. v,s.. z,
 y.In spite of all. this strained effort to be of service to him. Mayor Hayes still holds They Democrat in low esteem. Witness what the mayor said in his en- ragged attack on. Publisher Pape Monday night. We quote him.:
 @"He (Pape) has taken, ref
 uge.%in a towards castle. His
 ownership of two papers
 makes him secure. He may say
 what he likes and the victims of his misrepresentation have J
 no means. of answering, sex+

Z It must have been apparent to readers of The Republican and Tbe American that the mayors . answer-as has always been the, case-was finding its outlet even with his venomous attack on Publisher Pape, in the publish CTS own papers. The mayors rage was, caused by two things: One, he could. not use for his , propaganda. as he. does The Democrat. the two newspapers that he himself recognizes have the really effective circulation in the city. Two. he despised, for its: sloppiness and weakness -the very publication that has lent itself as a. tool toa his hand.
