Fat Boy Joe

To me the whole affair was dull- CT than ditch water. One com- mittee member, who bore 8 most lifelike resemblance to Joe the Fat Boy in Dickens "Pickwick Pa pers", gave an excellent impersor- ation of a gentleman about to burst into thousands of apoplectic fragments in a short tilt with Mayor Hayes. Considering the bills introduced by Senator Gull hane to compel the police and fire commissioners of Waterbury to appoint policemen and firemen who had been in their respective services at least ten years when vacancies occurred, Joe the Fat Boy demanded of His Honor whether he, His Honor, did not believe in recognizing merit. l have not the faintest idea what answer he expected His Honor to make. But whatever it was he was disappointed because HIS Honor replied without hesitancy that he did believe in recognizing merit wherever encountered. AlsO that he recognized the right or Home Rule an in view of that recognition he suggested to the committee that Waterbury was quite qualified to take care of its own affairs and should be left to do so. Whereupon Joe the Fat Boys blood pressure was visibly reduced. He permitted his Ohm, Number Four to rest upon Chin, Number Three and, in the i'm mortal words of Bret Harte. "the

Upso on, the !. w.FitsPatrirk crowd in the committee room saw, nothing more exciting than love- feast service conducted by the Epworth League. There was not even the selmbIance of a spat-- even on MT. Upson's ankles. Of course the doughty Republican Town Chairman was at disad- vantage. No one save himself and Alderman Dubois showed up to take part In the struggle to rescue Waterbury from the domination of the damnable Democrats. In all justice to J. Warren 1t must be admitted that no general, no field marshal, no generalissirno of the forces of Civic Purity can do his stuff if there is no army to gener- al, no troops to marshal, and the forces of Civic Purity are absent, without leave, from the field of honor.

Goat Only i'm Name

Only a. goat is able to butt his head against g. stone wall time and time again without paying the price and although J. Warren was made to play the part of that ani- nal by the recreancy of his fol- lowers he managed to do 1t with no damage to the wall and less to his own head. Which, to my way of thinking is no small achieve ment. Who butts a wall and backs away may live to butt another day. Wise and willy Warren!

In Vain

I looked around the hearing room in vain for a sight of the journalistic janissaries from Print CTS Alley. I sniffed eagerly for a whiff of the straight briar pipe of Signor Galullo and the garbage burning calabash of Good Old Bill Pape. No dice! Even that Cham pion of Lost Causes, Good Old F. Robert Stevenson of The Repub- lican and The American, was somewhere away from there. whether the failure of MT. Up- sons terrible nine to get to first base at the late Waterbury bond bill hearings had anything to do with its deplorable assertion of their manager on Tuesday is something for .iarren to take up with his rubber-spined players later. The unpleasant fact is that, for reasons known only to them selves, the boys from the back room simply did not show up. Un- der the circumstances, MT. Upson should not be blamed for not putt ting on better show. His pres entation of bouquets and his toss- ing of kisses to the representatives of the city administration may have been born in expediency put they were justified in wisdom.
