farm, his daughters piano, his wife's top buggy.
 And many a man Is saying to him self: If we build this addition to the schoolhouse I shall have to give up the new overcoat I have counted up- on, or Amanda won't be able to get the new cooking range
 That's real politics; the voluntary surrender of some private good for the upbuilding of some community good It is in such exercises that the fiber of democracy grows sound and strong. There is, after all, in this world no real good for which we do not have to surrender something. In the city the average voter is never conscious of any surrender. He never realizes that he is giving anything himself for good school or good streets. Under such conditions how can you expect self government? No service, no reward!"

CITY AND COUNTRY POLITICS.

In the October American Magazine the author of Adventures in Con tentment'' makes the following com parison of city and country politics:
 We needed an addition to our sehoolhouse. A committee reported that the amount required would be $500. We talked it over The Scotch Preacher was there with plan which he tackled up on the blackboard and eXpalined to us. He told us{ of see- ing the stone-mason and the carpen- ter, he told us what the seats would cost, and the door knobs and the hooks in the closet. We are a care full people; we want to know where every penny goes!
 If we put 1t all in the budget this year what will that make the rate ?" inquires a voice from the end of the room.
 We don't look around; we know the voice. And when the secretary has computed the rate, if you listen closely you can almost hear the buzz of multiplications and additions which is going on in every mans head as he calculates exactly how much the addi- ton will mean to him in taxes on his

Trial of Nronlders, Officials.

Tn the city court yesterday was commenced the trial of Frank A. Me Gee of Worcester and John Dunn of this city, the officials of the Mould ers' union, who were arrested several weeks ago on charges of intimidation in connection with the strike of the moulders in the employ of the McLa- gon Foundry company. When the court session adjourned yesterday aft ernoon about 5 o'clock both the de- fendants had been on the stand and the case was nearing the completion of the testimony The session will be re- sumed this morning at 10 o'clock, Judge Tyner on the bench. and will probably be concluded to-day

supposed to be the most valuable gen. orally contributed larger sums.
 Different members of the house of representatives. paid to secure their election: $152.9l, $645.85, $46S.75, $1o5.76, s164,80, S191.50, $11750, $129, $3S1.90, $173.21. 127.98, $255, $179.10, $116, and all manner of sums less than s10o.
 The present salary on the average amounts to more than $5 per day of ac- tual work. One-third of the. last gen. eral assembly were farmers. Few far- mers earn ordinarily $5 per day, Prob ably two-thirds of the last general as- sembly do not earn more than that.
 Many voters of our small towns feel that it is only right that the men who have the office and the honor, and lar ger pay than they were earning at home should divide the surplus with those who have helped to elect them.
 This, increase of salary, If adopted, will do more to corrupt politics than all the laws passed by the last general assembly will do to purify them.
 The increase of salary will only in- crease the anxiety of the professional politician to obtain the position, or in- crease the amount which other men will have to pay for an election. The best men are usually obtained for the offices that have no salary.
 In former years I have given much time to effect a compilation of our constitution and it's amendments, so that the elector who swears to SUD- port the constitution can read 1t and know what 1t is.
 Tn 1895 such a compilation was pass ed by the house, and is printed in the public acts of that year. Those who desired constitutional convention suc- ceeded in defeating its adoption at the following session.
 Such a compilation ought to be made, and it Is pity that the legislature has coupled the increase of salary with it, so that one cannot be adopted with out the other.
 But the benefit of the compilation is not worth the evil of the increase of salary, and if the matter is fully un- derstood by the people, I do not believe they will adopt it.

A M1InroN YEARS FROM NOW.

They are digging down into old New Jersey, but they didn't know it. They had never even heard the name, and neither a fossil mosquito nor the skel- eton of prehistoric trust had so far been unearthed.
 They are digging digging, digging What for? Chiefly, no doubt, for the sake of digging, but in a sort of sec ondary way they are looking for re- lies. They hoped to find something that would prove the somewhat doubt full existence of animals in that region before the Great Castrophe. If they could only prove the existence or
 at that remote period, the professors claim to immortality would be secure. Up to this time his enthusiasm was far ahead of his scientific attain lnents, but he had managed to i'm part something of his own spirit to ev- cry man of the expedition, so that, in spiteSof any and all discouragements, they cheerfully kept on digging,
 Then the learned professor in charge made a critical examination and jotted down the framework of 6 somewhat labored report:
 Nothing like 1t has ever been known to science. Man never looked upon the like before, The conditions necessary to support this creature could not possibly support anything so dissimilar as man. The skeleton is no more wonderful because of It's great size than because of it's peculiar composition and structure. It Is much to be regretted that the Trailer parts have crumbled away but enough remains to show some striking pe- cullarities-none more striking than the curious jointing. Nothing like It Is is known to anatomists in our day. Some joints seem actually to have been pinned together. This arrange meni, taken in connection with the immense tendons with wtiica the creature was evidently supplied, mrst have given 1t rength beyond our conception"
 But the twentieth century small boy would have summed up tho situa- ton thus. Gee! Cant tell q rotten lo- comotive from a bunch Q oonesl"-- From The Bohemian for October

ATTACKS RAISE IN
 PAY OF LEGISLATORS Referee Henry c. Newton Says it Would Corrupt
 Politics.
OPEN OFFICE TO BIDDERS
Best Men Now Obtained for Offices Which Have No
 Salary.

Referee Henry G. Newton has sent to every newspaper in the state the fol- lowing communication against the raise in pay proposed for members of the general assembly:
 On October 7th, 1907, the electors of Connecticut will vote upon the ratifi- cation of a compilation of the consti- tuition and it's amendments
 The only material change is the in- crease of the pay of members of the general assembly from $500 to $500
 The argument for this change is that the present salary is too small and that better men will accept the office if the compensation is increased. Is this argument valid?
 The average number of days of ses- sion of the general assembly is about seventy days. Most of the members actually attend less than fifty-five days. The average days work, includ- ing committee hearings may be four hours, but is probably less.
 Do the members whose time is most valuable think the pay too small, or are they willing to work for less? The amounts paid by them to secure their election will answer this question.
 The senators, like the representa- lives, receive $500 for a session. An the members are furnished by the state with railroad communication tickets dur ing the session.
 The combined salaries of the thirty five senators amounted to $10,500. The amount paid by the senators in the last general assembly to obtain their election, as shown by the returns to the secretary of state, exceeds $10,500. This was not by specially large pay mens from few. Among the pay- ments by different senators were the following: $321, ,50 s693.06, S139.15, $16650, $f79,50, S24715, $S30.54, s6O0 $283.20, $295, $886S4, $SO9.14, $27O5O, $4S2, $2,- 6o1.5s, $5oS45, $500, $2415O, $75O, s16o, $207.33, $226.S5, s234QS, $S5O.
 Whatever may be said of our sena- tors, they are not lacking in intelli- gence or business capacity; and there is no probability that increase of sal ary would give us men whose time is worth more.
 The defeated candidates expended more than half as much as those who were elected.
 Would it not be well, instead of in- creasing the salary, to offer the office to the highest bidder?
 Most of the representatives were also willing to contribute part of their salary for their election, and those from, the large towns whose time is
