The last place where labor should find itself the victim of deception and dishonesty is in its work upon the highways of the state; and some wa. should be devised to protect the worl men from being cheated out of their pay. Within the past few months there have been two strikes upon state work n this part of the state where these poor men were a month behind in their pay and without confidence in their employer, who, doubtless, had made them pramise after promise without #ionoring any of them. When contractors take such jobs, there should be a way of knowing whether they have the capital to meet their obligations and carry the work to completion. These men ought not to be obliged to wait a month for their ; and The Bulletin sees no reason the weekly-payment law should not as well apply to them as to others. It is a shameful sight to see men with nothing but their labor to depend on, driven to such straits and to the distress and extra;expense such con- duct on the part of a contractor cre- ates. B Such contractors as these aré no credit to themselves or to the state. They do not get on with their work well, and having no honor appear to- tally incompetent to do work upon honor. The state, or the commissioner, is not ponsible for the wages of the em- ves of the comtractors, but where a contractor is neither doing his work well nor using his men right, it would 1905, average Waek ending August 5....eeeren re be in good ferm-to force him to be honorable or to abandon the work. There may mnot be any law under which the state can now operate; but there should be one which would make dangerous for men of no responsi- ty to deceive and annoy and finally heat deserving werkmen who should be entitled to their pay re each week's end. FARMERS AND GRANGERS. The reading public may be surprised to learn that these two words used as syonyms give a wrong impression. It has been disciosed that the farm- ers are not all Grangers, and that Grang are not all farme The Grenge is a fine soclal organization and has no bars'up 1o keep out people representing other pursuits. It was not organized as a political push or pull, but as a mutual protective asso- clation in which sociability and co- operation have their place. The editor of the Bristol P sa In all towns with which the writer is acquainted where the e Granges more than half the membership is made up of men and women who do not, in most cases, have a garden, even. This is true of Bristol, Plain- ille and Farmington granges, and of Cawasa grange of Collinsville. As a social organization the subordinate granges of Connecticut all right, but while the officers high up may be farmers, the membership of the sub- ordinate granges is made up qf people who have to live by working in fac- tories and offices.” There is nothing foolish about the Grange, If some of the officers, through indiscretion have made it appear that there wa It is made up of good, loyal citizens who do not authorize any one to inform the public they in- tend to insult the president of the Unlted States. Will Carleton tells the New York | Times that he has told wudiences of hay-fever vietimis that breathing deep 50 times a day would cure it, and only | one woman made use of the exercise and she was cured. The fact that Congressman Konlg put in the Congressional directory op- posite his name, “married and lives with his wife,” leaves the inference that it must have been nec ry for protection.

Who ever heard a man say “Tempus fugit” the week following his return from an enjoyable vacation” MONEY ACTIVE. ‘While New England is not enjoying business to her full capacity at pres- ent, the indications are that the aver- age of money in circulation in the country is much larger than usual and this is a rellable indicator as to busi- ness in the aggregate. The returns from the 7,277 national banks indicate a fuller employment of money in the country as a whole than would be supposed from the general idea ‘of dulness of business. Loans increased over a year ago about $181,- 600,000 or from 187 to $5,610,- $38,787 and are than at any So also are deposits, while cash holdings in relation to them amount to 17.3 per cent. this year as against 19.4 a year ago, 18.1 in 1909 and 19.4 in 1908. But two modifying factors need to be taken into consideration—first that the re- turns were taken on June 30 instead of June 23 as last year, and so in- cluded more of the money accumulated for July disbursements: and second that banks in the far west have been | reducing their loans as a check on land speculation. Another exceedingly interesting piece of news which confirms the above statement, is this from a Boston paper: ceording to reports from the Fos- ton & Albany freight yards at Spring- field the line has been doing the larg- est midsummer business in its history. Over ninety-three thousand freight cars were handled in the local yards, during July, an increase of about fif- teen thousand over the record of a vear ago, though that is not the story of the freight business in general.” larger time in the last four vears. GETTING MONEY BY THEIR WITS There appears to always be some one réady to bleed the boys in public service upon some pretext or other. It is learned that an agent is about ambitious to raise $40,000 as a purse from the rural carriers of the country for a Chicago man whe runs the R. I. D. News. Fourth A ant Postmaster General DeGraw doesn't approve the movement and has sent a letter to all postmas- ters, stating distinctly that while “the department imputes no’ improper mo- tives either to the individual who is instrimental in raising this fund or to the person for whose benefit it is intended, but in view of the ease with which, through misresresentation or otherwise, postal employes .might be induced to make contributions to this or other funds designed for a similar , it is believed that the em- of the service should be in- formed that all efforts of the character ndicated are undertaken without the approval of the department.” There is-no denying that $40,000 is a splendid testimonial of regard to take; or that the scheme to raise it does not belong to the get-fich-easy methods. =~ The reward m grea exceed any service such a man could possibly render.

Another comment on the ' subject came from John L. Hutchinson of Es- sex. "I am in favor of this bill,” ne said. “In my town more than 109 democrats’ names ars on the repubii- can caucus list.

Discussion of the direct pri- maries bill brought it about.

Frankfort, Ky., Aug, 7.—A five year old black Spanish hen owned by Mrs. Taylor Collins of this county has adcpted six kittens and cares for them as tenderly as if they were her chicis. The affection displayed by the Kit- tens for the hen and by the hen for the Kkittens is the more unusual be- causa the mother of the kittens is liv- ing and nurses them as regularly as if they did not have a foster mother. The old cat seems to understand the situation and displays no jeal.usy over ths attention shown her offspring by the hen. The hen does not understani why tha Kkittens, which have acquirad strength, desire to run about the yard, anc¢ she becomea very uneasy when they are out of her sight. She left a setting of eggs to adopt the kittens and has lost interest in chickens since the arrival of the kit- ens. Venice Has Water Famine.
