 Howard Dennis and wife left this
 week for Danbury, where they will visit for a few days and then proceed to Kenosha, Wis, in the anticipation of
 making it their future home. MT Dennis has been a member of the executive

 A negro, George Williamson, of Birmingham, Ala, received the first prize for forensic ability last Monday in the graduating exercises of the law class at Yale college. His oration was on the subject, ''Trades Unionism and Patriotism,' and a brief glance at one paragraph of the address will explain to any thinking reader why the negro was declared the victor. It wasn't be- cause of love for the negro but because he gave the trades unions h--
 Here is the paragraph that did the bus1- ness and made Williamson the proudest negro 7in America: ''The union re- duces all to a common level, makes the worthy support the unworthy, prevents the honest citizen from serving his country disregards the rights of indi- viduals, and finally stands for lawless- ness and disorder There is only one comment necessary to the above, and that is-it is every word false.-Labor Compendium.
 At a recent meeting of the Michigan Bar association Seymour D. Thomp- son, a capitalistic lawyer of New York was the principal speaker. His whole speech was a trade against labor un- ions and among other things he said, Labor, organizations persist upon whom the employers shall employ" The Detroit Law Journal took decid- cd exceptions to his remarks through out and in response to the above said: Let us lift the veil from the poison ous utterances of this plutocratic rep resentative; that labor organizations persist in dictating whom the employ CTS shall employ is false. and the Hon. Thompson was equally falsifying when he sounded the utteranee. No employ CT of labor in America was ever re-
 quested to employ workmen object ionable to him. No labor organization in America ever stationed an agent at the employment bureau of any em- blowing individual or corporation to dictate as to whom should or should net be employed. Again, in no in- demnity action on record has any em- ployer or corporation through his own disposition or from advice of counsel I ever injected such arguments in de- fense of damage suits, and MT Thomp-
 son and those he represents are chal- lenged to point out single instance where damage has been awarded in 1 consequence of the employment or
 labor insisted upon by any labor or ganiZation."

The efforts to bring the state board of arbitration and mediation to Wat erbury to use their influence to secure a settlement of the difficulties between the trolley company and their former employees is an action that should have been taken long ago. This board has satisfactorily settled labor disputes in other places and no doubt could do SC here if both sides to the controversy would agree to abide by their decision and as both sides claim to be in the right they should be willing to do this It is expected that the board will be here early next week.

where Connecticut Got 1t. Name.

1t might be imagined that Connecti-
cut is called the ''land of steady hab-

thus: "In the early colonial times It
was the custom TO provide every one

needless TO say, were popular. When

If air cannot be seen, what Is 1t that

The explanation Of the phenomenon
Is really quite simple, like all such
things. when we hear II. AS a matter
Of fact. II Is mir that we see quiyering,
