The Massachusetts bureau of sta
tistics of labor has been studying the
prices and cost of living, and figures
that while an average family is pay
ing 1888 per cent more to live in
1902 than in 1897. the expense at the
present time is 1892 per cent. smaller
than in 1872. The average increase
in wages since 1897 is placed at 25.37
or more than the increase in cost, but
to the man who has been working on
the same old salary for years these
figures will bring little satisfaction
There is encouragement in the state
ment that the expenses this year are
abnormally high, and are likely to be
materially reduced in few months
The causes are a partial failure of
crops last year, a consequent large
shrinkage in the meat supply and an
increased demand for almost every
thing, owing to the general employ
ment and prosperity of the people.

There is need of law to govern the
conduct of our political caucuses, and
the bill for this purpose, introduced by
Senator Brownell of Burlington, doubt
less covers the ground. But this is
not all. If the campaign just closed
has shown the need of a caucus law,
it has proved still more the need of a
law covering the whole ground of eau
cuses and elections. Either in this
measure, or in separate act, let us
have a law providing, as its essential
feature, that every candidate for a
leading state Office or for election to
the United States House or Senate,
shall make a sworn detailed state
ment of what moneys he has paid out,
and for what purposes, to secure his
nomination and election. Such law
will do no more or less than put Yer
mont in line with other conservative
but progressive states in this respect.

Legislature Does not represent the
People.
[St. Adams Messenger. /

Says the Hartford Times, "Mr. Clement
was not so strong with the legislature as
with the people" OF course not. The
legislature does not represent the people !;
II represents the land on which they build
their houses. There are 246 lawmakers
in the house of representatives, one for
each town. That would make 124 a ma
jorlty. There are 124 legislators whose
constituencies combined aggregate only
72,16S people, or only q per cent of the
population OF the state. Thus, you see,
2l per cent of the people can make laws
for the other 70 per cent It's absurd,
of course, but it's Vermont consti-
tutional law and must be lived under until
the people can be persuaded that 1t is
monstrously unjust.

Senator Dolliver of Iowa, in a re-
cent speech at Chicago, argued that
the idea of the trusts as a controlling
was greatly exaggerated.
The 1876 trusts in existence in 1900, he

of the factory labor and produced only
about IA per cent. of the manufactur-
ing output in this country.

$500, Won Two Heats at Nashua
Thursday.
Fred c., the brown gelding owned
by j. A. Taylor and o. II. Ellis,
dropped dead in his staI in Nashua,
N. H., Friday, probably from heart
disease. He was in the 222 class
race at Nashua Thursday, and won the
first two heats in 2.23A and 222h.
His lack of condition was apparent
before the race was finished. as he
finished third and fifth in the follow
ing heats and in the fifth heat was
distanced. Fred c. was by Filter, son
of Red Wilkes, was bred in Kentucky,
and finished second in two close races
there which were turned in better than
'16. He was bought two years ago by
Taylor & Ellis, and was brought to New
England last season. He made a
good showing in races last year. and
was expected to set a fast pace this
year, but the season with him had
been one of repeated accidents He
was badly injured in his first race of
the season, and at the. Valley Fair
was badly cut and threw a shoe in
the first heat so that he was distanced.
He was valued at not less than $500.
He was believed to be good over a
mile track for 2.12 or better, and dur
ing the September meet at Concord
he finished a close second in PIG.

cessful trainer and driver who had
had charge of him the past two sea-

F you are about to purchase piano, it is natural
that you should be specially desirous of making
a wise selection.
A piano means an investment of considerable
sum of money. 1t may be counted upon to last for

that choice is important?

Custom Made
OvercOats.

We trust that people of Brattle-
boro aud vicinity will be pleased to
know that we have made the same
proportionate cut-down on overcoats
that we made in suits. We can,
therefore, make ovcrcoats for as low
a price as $13.75. How is that for
a custom made overcoat? We defy
competition in style, workmanship,
etc.
We can furnish overcoats in all
grades. and we are the makers of the
best overcoots worn in this town the
last few seasons. 1t pays to have a
coat made for you, as n custom made
coat secures for You the essential
point, individuality.
We hear that someone, not one of
our customers, has made the state
ment that we put up cheap goods.
As we advertise the truth, il is easy
for us to turn that statement down,
as we have all other similar state
ments. To prove our ability to keep
up the quality OF material and still
make clothes at a price $40 less than
other tailors ask, we make this offer:
Go where you please and buy your
goods. The dealer will sell the cloth
TO you at 20 per cent profit for him
self (which is 20 per cent more than
we charge our customers. as we
figure no profit on goods. Bring us
the bill and the goods and we will
save you $40 on suit or overcoat,
minus 20 per cent paid the other deal
er. of course. This must be straight
business, as we will not be buncoed.
Is this not fair play enough? Truth
is truth, and it fears nothing. That
is what we advertise and do.
If You choose to buy your woolens
from MS, we have the best line of
Foreign and Domestic goods to select
from. We can please you better now
than later. Come early while the line
is complete.

Autumn Haze.

In reply to letter, asking the
cause of autumn haze. the chief of the
United States weather bureau recently
prepared a letter, part of which is
quoted in what follows; The dry haze
is undoubtedly due to fine particles of
dust. The finest dust is composed OF
one or all of the following substances
namely, fine particles of soil or the
dead leaves of plants. smoke or ashes
from wood fires, salt from ocean spray
the shells or scales of microscopic sill
cious dlatoms, germs of fungi, spores
of ferns, pollen of flowers, etc. In the
still air of damp nights these dust par
ticles settle slowly down. and the
morning air is comparatively clear.
During the daylight the sun warns the
soil which heats the adjacent air. and
the rising air currents carry up the
dust as high as they go. Under certain
conditions. which are named in the
letter the layer OF dust reaches higher
and higher every successive day
During long, dry summers in India
1t reaches to 1000 feet with a weIl-de-
fined upper surface that is higher In
the daytime than at night time. This
Is a general explanation of dry haze
weather and applies to Indian summer
also. The reason why we have more
of such weather in the autumn is be-
cause there is then less horizontal wind
and less rising air. New York Sun.

Elevation and Thermal Lines.

1t is currently supposed that in ev-
cry state the ATTITUDES of fruit growing
lie directly east and west and that
single point can be fixed as the north
ern or southern limit of the produc-
ton Of certain varieties. Such is not
the case. The heat lines govern them
selves largely by elevation. In the
state of Iowa, for instance, the fruiting
periods of the same varieties of fruit
move not directly north but is toward
the Northwest. 1t is said that the
northwest part of Iowa is 1000 feet
higher than the southeast. This alti-
tude means much in changed tempera-
ture.
