His reply has been the | publjcation of the “Republican Wa- | terburlan,” which has been peddled and hawked up and down the streets of the Brass City until it has be- |come a joke. | Although pald workers of the re- | publican town committee assisted in distributing the sheet, the members {of the committee declare that they {know nothing ahout it. They be- |come petulant when questioned and any reference to the ¥Waterburian” |irritates them. Tt is apparent that they have received their orders from 1. Henry and, like the Light Brigade at Balaklava, it s not theirs to ques- tion why, but to press forward and |do thelr work. | Admirers of the Waterbury publican resent the silly attempt to dlscredit the paper which has stood for vears forsprogress in every field. They predict that J. Henry and his | gang will be hoist with their own [petard and that the reaction from thelr blunder will be anything but pleasant. The publication of the “Waterbur- {1an" indicates that J. Henry Rora- | back is losing his grip on J. Henry | Roraback. Instead of being the {strong, sllent strategian, a picture drawn by his press agents, he has [descended to the role of petly politi- clan, startled every whispering ;hrw-/n and on the verze of panic. .. orld of progress. _You able to go into a pr and Dbuy a nickel's snaps;. now you get of ginger snaps and pay other three cents for impros packing and shipping.

We remember hav- | | Ing sald that before in the past, but |1t 1s & good thought and about the | | only one the writer has on the sub- | | ject. | t ¥or example, Mother Goose | rhymes, aldthough somewhat re- | [amoved from the subject tn mind, | | may be expected to read as follows | in the future: Mary had a little word in four letters meaning the young of the | sheep, Its six letter word meaning a | #heap's covering of wool was white | as a four letter word meaning| watery particles congealed into white or transparent crystal flakes in the air, | And everywhere that a four lat- | ter word meaniug a girl's name went, The lamb was sure the infinitive of a verb denoting passage from one place to another. We thought we'd never get that poem completed, Especially on the word, snow. So many definitions of that word ‘occurred to us— Of course, we haven't a thing against cross word puzzles, They | re all right. The main thing with them is that they are too easy. This writer has no difficulty at all in finding out what an anthropomor- | phic semi-erect denizen of the tropical jungles is. He merely does the rest of the puzzle and then the letters fit perfectly. But those puzzies are really edu- | cating the human race and chorus men too. Another thing, they have | proved a hoon to comic magazines, without which no one knows what would happen to the people of this country. And say, have you noticed the way in which our up-to-date pairs . of sweothearts are taking advan- tage of this new fad? They're sa | ing it with cross word puzzies. Be- {ing ol1 and gray and married, the wisdom of using the brain for such nonsense cannot be seen, But “read- ing horizontal” only may have its | advantages. A girl would look sil | bringing a cross word puzzie into 'a court room as evidence in a | breach of promise suit. And, ten to lone, the judge would get so inter- | ested {n solving it that he would forget about the case. As for the | jury, they can't agree anyway, so | why should they all solve the puz- zle in the same way? But just wait until the college periodicals startgon the cross word ! puzzle question.” They haven't got | that far yet, being deeply involved | in the evils of drink and the Fol.! lies, hut just walt until the fad hits them! Well, the paper's gone to press, and we'll have to quit. That cross | word puzzle today 1s a hard one, we | understand, and we'll have to get busy. See you never! Announcement that the public buildings measure introduced n | | congress includes an appropriation bf $225,000 for a site and new post office building in this city occa- sioned some surprise. 1t was got generally known ‘hat New Britain was in need of a new post office. 1t isn't known yet. This city is fairly well off so far as facllitles at the post office are concerned althongh it is pronable that an addition will be before many years have passed. The deciston to all parcel post matter taken eare of in & new building on Court strect will have the effact of relleving pres- sure in that department. { Instead of making useless plans for the construction of new federal buildings where they are not need- od.

Postmasters, who are local managers, are unable (6 lift a finger to Improve the serv- jee unless they have sanction from Washington, A case in point hap- pened In this city not so long_ago. A new strect was opened and sev- modern houseg were erected. Concrete sidewalks were construct- d and concrete walks led into thé houses. There were no obstructions. Tn spite this, the residents of the street were unable to get mail delivery for three months because of red tape at Washington. Post- | master Erwin made formal appli- cation for permission to extend postal delivery to the new strest ! but the profect did not receive the | approval of the high-salaried of-1 fcials at Washington for about a quarter of aeyear.

SAMUEL GOMPERS DIES AT AGE OF 74 (Continued I'rom First Page) accompanied him north, sald that had Mr. Gompers remained in the Ligh altitude of Mexlco City aix hours longer he could not have reached the home land alive. 1l For Several Years, The complieations which eom- bined to end the career of the fa- mous labor leader have beset his aging body for several years, accord- ing to his physiclans; but the final acute attack was brought on by a change of weather in Mexico City. which resulted in a eold and conges- tion of the lungs, and the body worn by intense lahor at the recent Amer ican Federation of Lahor conventior in El Paso, could offer little resls tance. His mind and will, however, resisted with all thelr might an¢ their determination to live if only » fow hours longer enabled him to go to his final rest In the country o | the taboring men he had champlon ed and defended through a win! life time, Knew They Loved Him. In his dying moments, Mr. Gos pers had an opportunity to witne the affectlon in which he was he! by his own people and the publie : well. As his cot was belng lowered from the apecial car in the rallread vards here at 5 o'clock yesterday aft ernoon, a great throng gathered. It temper was |ndicated .when the per Sons nearest him prevented photo graphs being taken. “It 1s no way to treat a sick man, they shouted. Mr. Gompers wore his familiar ca) he was lowered from the train. He pulled the cnjp down alightly over his face to pro tect himself from the eool air ani smiled wanly as somecone greetci him. The ambulance which bore him t Nis last bed In life had to pick it way carefully through the traftic jan and the erowd. The procession to 11 hotel became something of a triuni phal march. According to C. N. Idar of San An tonio, general organizer for t American Federation of Labor, Ms Gompers' final acuto . fiiness. eam following a walk up a long flight oi 8téps to the Mexican National palacs to atlend the Inauguration of Presi dent Calles, a week ago last Ties day. When Gompers reached the jast step, exhaustcd, he exclaimed to hi escort; Did Not Want to Die. do not mind climbing the sta it 1 do not want to climb the ‘Go len Staire' just yet.” Mr. Gompers' death reealls tie passing in this eity of another na- tional figure, Major General Fred- erick Funston, who died February 19, 1917, General IFunston, who ro- turned from Vera Cruz with the American expeditionary forces in Mexico, in September, 1914, assumed command of what was then the southern department, In the follow- ing December. After a little more than two years service apparently i1 good health, he dropped dead in a hotel. Cause of Death. The primary eause of Mr. Gom- pers’ death was acute heart disease with pulmonary oedema, complicated { by advanced nephritls and arte ! hypertenaion Mr. Gompers had been lmprovi early in the night and had aken two or three naps but a change ocenrred 0 a. an, and hie heart began 10 , refusing to respond to ¢ 1t was apparent at Mr. Gompers was going, he said. He was told by Dr. Lee Rice ot Ban Antonio, attending him, that e was in & critical condition and might not live out the night. The iying man breathed mora heavily for A moment but there was no other re- 6ponse Officials of the federation gathered about the bedside. The strain of the Vigil was apparent on many of them Some of them gtepped into the hail and a few gave way to tears, as it Was apparent their comrade of many years was passing on. Medical History. Dr. Rice sketched the patient's medical history after his arrival in San Antonio briefly as follows “The heart rate on arrival was 160 but under the influence of digitalis it had slowed down to 140 at 11 p. m, From this time he was improving until & sudden cqliapse occurred at 2:30 a. m,, when his heart refuscd to respond to stimulation. “Epinephrin was used he w bled a pint and a half of 1 1o relieve congestion of his iun fter each procedure he rallied for few minutes hut almost at once collapsed “I was told ha had been suffering tronf dlabetes. Two epecime ken lurlng the evening were free from sugar and this disease did not par- ticipate in the final attack. “The heart was fibrilllating (abso- solute irregularity) when he arrived but it is not known how long t condition had existed. “T told Mr. Gempere at 8:30 that he was in a critjcal condition and might not pass through the night. He understood but did not respond, his heavy breathing preventing any spoken words.” 18 Acres Yield 1,134 ! ashels, tow in On Can- e record Jumper erog of jle section, the farm of John Sul. van yfelding the hea He ad 1% a ir ship arlo, est return 11134 bus This is at the rate of € the acre. fine wheat bushels to
