Village Smithies

Eagle Bridge, N. Y, has 300 in
habitants, two of whom are happy
blacksmiths with a thriving business.
At the ages of rs and 43, they agree
that most farms still can't go along
without horses and horses can't get
along without shoes. Business is so
brisk for the friendly rivals that they
have no quarrel about their respective
shares of it.
What about the automobile? These
craftsmen wouldn't accept one as a
gift. The horse and buggy combina-
ton suits them admirably.
It might be a good idea to take
groups OF school children out to view
these sn1ithies and watch the men at
work, to listen to the ring of iron
against iron and to understand better
Mr.. Longfellow's poem on the subject.

gress by another strong Southern
peper-the Chattanooga Free Press.
***
Now, it is submitted that these
facts, not one of which is open to CUES
ton, reveal an amazing state of af-
fairs. They reveal that in that section
of the country where unanimitv of
support of a Democratic Aaministra-
ton has been the invariab!e rule.
large number of people are in real re-
volt against this Democratic Admins
tration. They reveal that the South is
anything but in harmonious accord
with the President; that a considera-
BILE part of its press, people and politi-
clans are thoroughly sick of the New
Deal and Go not hesitate to say so.
1t is quite clear that the only things
that keep the revolt from being more
openly manifested are, first, the cohe-
sive power of the party label and, Sec
ond, the absence of an alternative.
However, it is impossible to doubt
that the sentiment shown in the above
incidents-and others-will be re-
fected in the 1910 convention, as Who'll
ly opposed to a continuation of Mr..
Roosevelt's leadership or of nomi-
nation of a Roosevelt-selected candi-
date. If there is anything else to be
deduced from these facts it would be
interesting to know what it is.

 Mayor Hayes referred to Senator George T. Culhane, Fusion candi- date, as the only member of his party who had "the termerity even to attempt argument. The other members of the tickets have con- fined themselves. to a constant stream of abuse of every person on the Democratic ticket" he de- clared.
 The administration leader de- manded why the candidate for con- troller on the Fusion ticket, Sher- wood L. Rowland, had remained quiet on the subject of finances and allowed Senator Culhane to make the only "so-called financial argument.
 "He knows nothing about financial matters and there is nothing in hia record which shows that he is in any way qualified for the position which he seeks," the mayor charged.
 Address
 The text of his address follows in part:
 "1n my opening address, I took note of the fact that, during our term in office, we have reduced the tax rate. showed that, dur ing the same period, the tax rate in the other large cities of oul state had consistently gone up ward. I showed that our assessed valuations were based upon 30 pei cent of the actual value of prop erty, while in the other cities tn, rate was based on Q 100 per cen valuation. I mentioned that, dur ing our administration, there havl been great physical Improvements made in our city. called your at' tention to the improved condition of our streets, to the efficient work of our police and fire depart. ments and to the fact that oul school department had functionee exceptionally well. I further noted that no eInploye of Waterbury even during the darkest period oi the depression, had failed to re- ceive his or her pay on time and in cash, not in scrip, aS was the case in many of our cities.
 Correct Figures
 "Next, Daniel J. Leary, our con- troller, gave to the public the cor- rect figures regarding the finan- cial condition of Waterbury. The figures which he gave you were the actual record of our financial transactions; figures which had been carefully checked by expert auditors and certified tc by one of the best firms of certified pulp lie accountants in the country, Q firm whose character and ability are beyond question.
 And what of the opposition case. Our opponents found 1t rec- essary to begin theri campaign at least a month before the usual time =. You have noted that at no time have they offered a single argument as to their qualifi- cations or ability to hold the of- fices which they seek. At no time has any one of them dared to come before you and say this is my record and these are the req sons why you should prefer me to my opponent We came before you standing upon our record and we still stand upon that record. We have nothing to hide and nothing to apologize for

Tt would take @ skunk to do this," said Lieutenant Detective William Foley eDrly today as he investigated a "break" at property owned by Edward Martin of Mon- roe street.
 Workmen who sought to fumi- gate the place, police assigned to the "job" and chance observers agreed with Lieutenant Foley.
 The grand daddy of all skunks, otherwise known as bobcats, was the cause of MT. Martins troubles and the call for Lieutenant Foley. For some individual or individuals with 6 distorted sense of humor (and apparently no sense of smelD had thrown Q huge dead skunk "a real one-in the middle of the floor of the building which MT. Martin is converting into dance hall. The smell that resulted was in accordance with the traditions of polecate-isnn. ..
 Police were called by MT. Mar tin, and they answered his alarm believing that sornone had broken into his home. It was a mistake on MT. Martins part for he should have known that the police de- partment does not come equipped with gas masks--he should have called the fire department.
 MT. Martin conducted 6 dance hall at Shades pond during the past summer and is making Q dance hall out of what was an old mill on Monroe street. Need- less to say-there was no work completed on the transformation today.
