Statesmen and politicians are watch
ing with good deal of interest the
experiment which has just been in
amgurated by the secretary of the
treasury in inviting the banks, which
in the past have been in the
habit of calling on the
treasury to help them out of
every difficulty, to help themselves.
The New York banks have notified the
secretary of the treasury that there is
growing tightness of the money
market as a result of large shipments
of currency to the west to meet the
necessity of moving large crop. They
expected, of course. that Mr. Shaw as
his predecessor would have done,
would Immediately deposit large
sums of government funds in their
hands. On the contrary, the secretary
has pointed out to them their ability
to meet the deficiency in currency by
issuing their capital stock and, as the
aggregate stock of the national banks
amounts to $7Oo,o0O,o 900, bills to that
amount could be issued by them. AS
a matter of fact, the outstanding bank
notes amount to but $35S000,000 50
that there is margin of S342, 100000
TO draw on. 1t is not known how the
bankers viii relish this invitation to
rely on their resources and the out
come is being awaited with interest

"A NEGLECTED DIPLOMA.

Where, oh where is that diploma,
That is what want to knows
For it was due young student
Over one long year ago.
This young man was first to honor
In the Mitchell graded school,
But he has been disregarded,
Treated like a natural fool.
For he has not his diploma,
Or thing that he can show
That hegpassed the test with honor
Over one long year ago.
Mitchell school is called a model
For village town and state,
Why don't they give diploma
TO the schools first graduate?
Letters have been mailed to teacher,
And to chairman of the board,
Why don't they send that diploma
Have / got to use a sword?
/ have taken pen and paper
To warn all of the school board
That he must have his diploma
If ! have to use sword.
Is it not an imposition,
| Bad enough to wait year,
Without begging pleading, praying,
And then to have shed a tears
| If the Mitchell school is model
For some proud aristocrats,
| Then i want that little sheepskin
| And shall not lift my hat.
To a school unjustly gotten
| With injustice to the town
And does not give a diploma
| To a student of renown.
| Must he wait and keep on waiting,
Days and weeks and months and
| years,
Then must ask and beg and threaten,
With his eyes all full of tears?
/ Model school of old Woodbury.,
/ School of fame and great renown,
With it's district schools abandoned,
| Will it elevate the town?
Will things gotten so Hnjustly
Caring not for what is right,
Make the people truly better
1 In the Lord, Jehoyah's sight?
| This young man wants his diploma,
| That was due him long ago,
And if it is not sent to him
Things will not move very slow.
There will be some plain words spoken
Not in favor Of school
/ That does not give diploma
TO student not fool.

this city celebrated it in such a fitting
and elaborate manner. The day was
an ideal one, trife warm. but not so

to the parade and the festivities that
followed were carried out in an excel

Helping the Lord.

Pension Commissioner Ware, who
was at the capitol the other day, is
very much interested, as all new of

of the letters which he received amused

out in Illinois, and this is what she
said:

That's what the kidneys are--wIen they're sick. M
What makes the kidneys sick? A simple thing
They have to much to do
Must keep UP their work, they
They can't be blamed for kicking.
Ever have your kidneys kick?
Ever have bad back, lame, weak or aching onef
Know it's the thing?
The back aches because the kidneys blocked.
Help the kidneys with the work-keep them moving
And the back will ache more.
It's the experience Of Waterbury citizens.

LABOR IN SYMPATHY
WITH THE COAL MINERS
National Leaders Address
Open Air Meeting

This city's interest in the coal strike
was clearly shown last night. when a
large crowd turned out TO attend the
big open-air mass meeting at Seventh
Street and Louisiana Avenue arranged
by the Central Labor Union.
The meeting was addressed by several
officers of the A. +. of L. Much
sympathy for the strikers was ex-
pressed, and the first appeal for money
to aid them brought favorable results.
Nearly S1oO was realized.
Ten miners were present, dressed in
rough overalls and wearing lighted
lamps on their hats. The crowd was
composed almost exclusively of work
innmen
Denounce Mr.. Baer.
n. C. sprague, of the Central Labor
Union, presided. The first speaker was
d. A. Eays, of Philadelphia, vice presi-
dent of the American Federation of
Labor. Thomas j. Kidd, of Chicago;
president of the Woodworkers' Union,
who followed. characterized the action
of President Baer and his associates al

to every man, woman and child IN
America.

denunciation at the hands of John r.
Lennon. of Bloomington, H., treasurer
of the federation.
Willing to Arbitrate.
A speech by Samuel Gompers, presi-
dent of the Federation of Labor, in
which he said that the striking miners
were willing to refer their case to any
disinterested committee of citizens, and
to abide by its decision, was wildly
cheered.
The Presidents last request to John
Mitchell, of the miners. union. he char
acterized as unfair to NJ. Mitchell.
The strikers on the platform were
John D. Evans, John Aston, Daniel C.
Thomas, William C. Jones' David Lloyd.

Thomas Court, William NJ. Williams,
and David E. Thomas, all OF Wyoming
