It i has been a popular representative in the Common Council for some years it is true that he received a large vote, as democratic votes this city, but he has still to win his politi cal spurs as Mayor, to prove his worth.

As we contemplate the character ot the boom that has started for thc Mayor, possible polifical schemes pre- go in sent themselves to our minds ed that the Mayor had no knowle of the start of the agitation destined to nominate him, that his personal ambition was not responsible for it there appears that there may be deep laid plan to thwart the ambitions of Ex-Mayor Halloran for the congressional on the part of individuals elsewhere.

Despite the fact that the Hartford Courant persists in its insinuation that the Herald is a democratic paper, as it often persists in assumptions that are far fetched, we have little in- fluence wi‘h the democratic party in the city or state. Possibly had we wish- ed to blindly follow either democracy or republicanism as the Courant fol- lows the matter might be in a position, with democracy at least, to dictate policy as it seems the Courant does with the state G. O. P. It is not our idea of a newspaper, however, to blindly follow anyone, whatever his politics, nor to abuse any needlessly. We printed the news con- cerning Mayor Paonessa and his boom. Our personal opinion, how- ever, is that the Mayor had . postpone his aspiration until time as it is more practical, more pos- sible of realization and, if he really had no knowledge of the boom that was launched behalf, he had better look over the ground very carefully. Instead of a testimonial to his popularity the movement may be a plan to use him as a tool. nomination what the powers- we person better such in his PAINT THE SCHOOLS It seems scarcely conceivable that this city will let its school houses practically rot away for the lack of paint. For some reason there seems to be a feeling against granting the school board the money it People prate of their love of children; they cry aloud from the very house- tops that they believe “young America" every chance. When it comes to voting money for the schools they, these same people, look wise and talk about the great need of ‘“‘economy.” We are strong for economy in the city government. We are inclined to look with favor upon the board of finances and taxation’s hesitancy over recommending a great issue of bonds for sewer work to benefit the taxpay- ers of only a portion of the city and which must be paid for by thd tax- " payers of all the city. Let the drive for economy go on But anyone who calls disapproving . painting the lchl{ol houses “‘economy’’ Bad better buy anpother lexicon from which the true definition of the word “1a not torn ous.

It was suggested that the revenue lerived from the sale of light wines ind beer could be applied advantage-|{t augly to the relief of men who were disabled in the war.
