Big Boss Has Title and salary and Clerks the Information In the course of his remarks dur- nz a political speech at the Grange hall in Newington, Thursday night, Prof. Albert Levitt of Redding, the crusading attorney who hopes to ride into the gubernatorial chamber at Hartford on an anti-Roraback wave in the republican party, made one statement which, while it was not regarded sufficiently important to chronicle in the news stories, was indeed an accurate observation. | Prof. Levitt told of his numerous trips to the state capitol at Hartford and of many unsuccessful attempts to meet state officials and depart- ment heads, then added: ‘‘Perhaps It's just as well that I didn't meet them because I have found that it is usually the deputy or the clerk in the office who can give you the information, not the elected of- ficials or department heads.” The condition which, according to Prof. Levitt obtains at the state capital is duplicated in every other sub-division of the government, and very likely in the federal offices at Washington. Without consideration of the vast amount of detail that iust be mastered hefore a person can properly fill his office, the voters o not hesitate to take an individual who has not had preliminary train- ing in government finance and elect m 1o a responsible position. It hap- pens in every city and state in the country. Persons unfamiliar with the work of a state or city depart- ment, but possessed of some “pull," probably grounded on an ability to draw votes are placed at the head of branches of the government then to rely upon the work of | es 1o carry them through | administration While elective officers change fre- forced quently, some of them bi-ennially, it will always be more oughly whose found that there are clerks in the office, thor- familiar with the work, job goes on and on irrespec- tive of the turns of politics, for the | simple reason that they are as near- ly indispensible as humans can be- come. Public office is about the only “big business” in which the qualifications for the particular post | do not seem to count for much. Prof. Levitt in his compilation of statistics for campaign use has had more than the ordinary opportunity to observe this condition. Newspaper | men on political assignment are not likely to dispute his statement, Strange Signs Which Cause Us Loss of Beauty Sleep Once again we feel constrained to point out the absurdities of warning signs along the highways of this| city and state—and those of other states arc no better.

This gertleman was what you might call a “Humdinger” at the gab; with such stories as the diappearance of an old watchman in a brewery, who suddenly vanished from sight and sound until one of the largest vats of beer in that establishment had been emptied. Yes, sir, and there laid the body of that dilapidated old watchman. “Now just see what vowve been drinking.” shouts Mr. Murphy. TWell, Gentlemen, among Mr. Mur- phy’s ardent converts was the lats C.'S. Landers and he called his of- fice help in to sign the pledge. Thera was a decanter of pure water on his desk with a blue ribbon tied around its neck During my vacation that vear T took a trip to Meriden. My wife and two boys were with me. I was carry- ing a basket loaded with comestibles and the last thing I bought was a bottle of port wine. The neck of the | bottle stuck out of the basket about 6 inches and one of the last persons to come into the depot was Mr. Lan- ders. He looked at me, and my group, and the basket. My wife said to me in her own language. “Now vou are going to get it,” but ha never said a word. “0. K." savs I and got into the car that Mr. C did not get into, but we all had 1o change in Berlin. Well as soon as Mr. Landers got out of that car ha spotted me and called me over with a crook of his forefinger. “I told you s0," says my wife. “Well, Downham, says he to me, where are you go- ing?" quite pleasantly. 1 told him.
