souéTI-Imo TO THINK aaour.
For several months the New York
Evening Mail has been printing-daily
some mighty interesting talks on ad-
vertislng that are right from the
shoulder. An article that. touched on
a widespread abuse and one which
will be appreciated by every merchant
in The \‘orualks and everywhere in
4"” tut— Itry lor that matter and pro
video 100d for thought for other pou-
tile as well appeared last evening. it
'1' said:
The Rev. lit.
tle. Washington. has some
L edwldeas about advertising.
. lie does not believe that a church
. bulletin or a church program, or any-
Vthlnl of that sort, is over of any
p ‘ value as an advertising medium to a
business man. ,r.
1,1} every communit in and around
New York, all sorts of othomcs are
devised to not nreulrauls to advertise
in a. pamphlet or circular, which is
nothing more nor less than a means
of getting a contribution from ill!
merchant.
Wouldn't it be much beitcr to go
rlxht to the merchant and say: "Mr.
.lbnes, we are getting up a church fair
“wwlreat many of your customers are
members of this church—We would
like“) get a contribution from you.
"Pile custom heretofore has been to
go around with a little program” and

That is straight enough talk. is it
not? And it is effective talk because
it is true.
W~
THE INDEPENDENT VOTER.
The independent voter is right on
the Job these days in filling local 01’-
fices,’and it is a good thing that he is.
This means that the voter is thinking
aborit what he is doing when he goes
to the polls, instead of following blind-
ly the dictates of the party managers,
a practice that can hardly lw consid-
ered beneficial to our form ot‘ govern
ruour- With the voters declaring thum-
solvus in; to the qualifications of iIIdl~
vidual candidates. it is unnecessary to
point out to party managers the (it-sip
ability of naming on a ticket men who
will obtain the confidence of the elec-
tors. The clientele of the straight
ticket. today is a decidedly limited pro-
position.
A‘propos to this subject. the ilar‘l-
ford Times says editorially:
The tendency to shift the political
equilibrium in Connecticut cities was
strikingly shown at Monday's clue»
trons.
Three years ago a republican suc-
ceeded a democrat as IIIuyor of New
London, but on Monday the republican
was replaced by a democrat. .
Four years ago a democrat was
elected mayor of Waterbury in Illili't‘
of a republican. but on Monday it re
publicnu was chosen to succeed the
democrat. who has occupied the exec
utlvo chair for two terms
New Haven which had been \\"llllll(¥il
by a, republican, but on Monday the
democratic candidate walked tirrough
a slaughter house to an open grave
with thb result that Mayor Martin's
successor will be a republican.
'l‘hcsc quirk changes of triumphant
political leaders are testimony to the
independence which the Connecticut
voted has acquired in local matters.
Party obligations rest lightly. The in-
dividual elector often puts the person-
ality of the candldatn'ubovc his politi-
cal budge. 'I‘bc disposition of voters
to display arrcxpauding measure of in-
depcndouct- in municipal t-lt-ctious isn‘t
a tendency that is likflly to inspire
much atricf~exccpt in the breasts of
party managers
'l‘ho lawsuit against that Stamford
constable outlrc allegation that ho
was negligent will at. least, have one
good Reflect—it ‘will bring many con»
stables to a better understanding of
the responsibilities of that position
and worn them to keep strictly within
the. law in exercising all of ,tho pi'ut‘rr
satires of the position.
