tacles on his foretop and after eXpec-

makes the following observations in
his Louisville Times: All signs point
TO an unusually hard winter. The corn
shuck is thick, the muskrat holes deep,
the otiice-seekers desperately vocifer.
Gus, and some of the resorts on the
west coast of Florida are already open.

FREE LABOR BUREAUS.

The New York Legislature is to be
asked TO enlarge the scope and extend
the operations OF the free labor bureau
established under the statute Of last
year An alleged Investigation into
the methods Of he private intelligence

revealed 10 much evil and corruption
that the state labor commissioner rec
ommendB tfeir abolition and the
prompt substitution for them OF state
institutions. The New York press Is
vigorously opposing this movement.
The notion that the state ought TO en-
bark wholesale In the business OF pro-
viding work for the unemployed is de-
nounced as dangerous and mlschievous
The state, In the words of New York
Tribune, might better pension fifty
politicians for rfe than create belief
In the minds OF tho masses that the
state Is bound to provide employment
for them" As for the employment Of
fices, they are private enterprises pure
and simple, and while they are natural

OF the state, II IL absurd either 10 abol-
ism them or TO enter into competition
with them. Providing employment is
not the business OF democratic gov
