LEAGUES AND EAGLES.

The formation of a taxpayers league at Bridgeport has given rise to a rentpayers' league, the object of which is to ascertain what share of the taxes are actually paid by men who rent, and why rents are high, and many other things which puzzle the wage earner. Protection is just as good for the rent-payer as for the landlord, and 1t may prove very instructive for the workers to be more awake to the incidentals of life, the better to un- derstand the why's and wherefores. if they cannot thereby save a cent or Tighten their burden one Iota There is no doubt that the rentpayer is a great taxpayer and 1t is up to him to make the world know 1t. This is the direct route to intelligent action and if the everyday man would give his thought to the benefits of intelll- gent cooperation there is no doubt that he would be fleeced less and be better regarded as one of the active units fin life. This is an age of com binations and this kind of combina- tion would tell well for other than it's main object. To know the why's in any position of life is to become wise to one's own way to progress and bet terrnent

THE FLYING FEVER.

The air navigation for 1909 is about coming to a close in this country, but the forecast for the season of 1910 shows that the flying fever is intense. An American aero club proposes to hold a montlTs flying meet in some large city and the interest in the mat ter is shown by the bidding. Phila- delphia offers s1O0,o0O for the honor, and Baltimore and Washington are each willing to put up an equal amount Oakland, Cal, and Portland, Ore. raise that sum by $50,000, and St. Louis pledges herself to guar antee fund of E. quarter of million. New York and Boston do not seem to be anxious to get the main event, but perhaps they will. St. Louis pledges herself to a guaranty. has all ready taken a prominent place in avi- ation, and its comparatively central location commsnds it.
 The European man flyers are awake to the opportunities for big purses and fame in this country in 1910 and many of them will cross the Atlantic to participate in this new and daring sport. The season of 1910 promises new men, new machines and new fly inR records.

THE TREE PESTS.

Shade trees in all large cities have a hard fight for existence and so few friends that it looks as If the cities of the country would be despoiled of their trees before many years.
 Touching the matter of city's shade trees, The Gardeners Chronicle lifts up a timely voice of warning against pests-human, incorporated, animal and inanimate-that threaten to undo the work of the, shade tree commissioner, and with which the commissioners find it hard to cope un- less supported by public sentiment and cooperation. It also calls attention of commissioners to the necessity of good judgment in selecting trees, pre- pairing the soil, protecting the newly set saplings and in getting rid of uuacks who claim for their remedies the efficacy of a cure-all
 Addison T. Hastings, The Chroni- cle's writer, repeats that corporations have been and can be held responsible for damages done to trees by leaking gas and electricity conducting wires. ''The greatest damage is done in cit fes,Y he remarks, where the telephone or electric companies are allowed to rIthlessly cut an avenue of trees for their wires" There is no doubt that -'such action can be entirely prevent ed by proper ordinances"
 Another grave source of danger Is due to construction work. One phase of this deserves the particular consid- eration of the public. For the sake of a perfectly straight and even curb or sidewalk, noble trees. older some times than the authorities, are ruth iessly sacrificed or reclzlessly mutilat- ed. The red tape of officialdom is not elastic enough to be stretched around them: in the heart of the con- tractor and his laborers there Is not love enough for the beautiful to pro- tect them. Contract haste makes waste.
 Irresponsible drivers allow their horses to nibble them and back their trucks against them. Against ire sponsibility there is little protection under any circumstances, and constant vigilance on the part of the public must be exerted in cooperation with the efforts of the commissioners.
 With so many enemies-with greed and ignorance and prejudice whack- ing away at them, it will take a great deal more than sprayers and Bor- deaux mixture to save them.

A HEArHEMs REcoMMENDATIoN

It seems good to wake up in a Christian country and discover hea- then who has the milk of human kind- ness, if he is not accredited with a single other good quality. The voice of "a heather" is heard in the west, saying:
 ITO live, we need air, food and wa ter It is all right to have mining companies install telephones and air. shafts, but these things won't AI a mans stomach. It would be hardly possible to supply an entombed miner with air, but is 1t impossible to stora in a mine supplies of unperishable oodstuffs-canned goods and water - enough to last the miners at least three or four weeks? In that time nearly always succor can be given.
 Why don't the mining companies see to that? It would mean only a small outlay and if 1t should save Jniy one life 1t would be worth the Invest ment"
 This is good enough to be endorsed as a good Christian suggestion; but it will not make Greed sit up and take notice. The tyranny of Greed puts to shame the tyranny of Nero and all the other historic autocrats. Greed, you may have noticed, laughs at the gov ernment and it's wholesome laws.

WHERE BALLINGER IS HANOI.
 CAPPED,

There is nothing in Secretary Ballin- gers report that indicates that he is in collusion with the land-grabbers, the lumber thieves and the water gob- bling trusts of the far west. Ths re- port is masterly and discloses the weakness of the present laws and the endorsements to the administration which grow out of them; and the sec- retary proceeds to show how amend- rnents can be made and new class. . fcations resorted to which will shut out deception and put a check upo1 greed. The report leaves no doubt that Secretary Ballinger understands the situation and is equal to meet every requirement if he can get the neces- = sary backing. The action of congress is necessary to make the administra- tion as strong as it should be; ard, as the Waterbury American points out, There's the rub. The grabbers of those rights and powers evidently have no hold on the administration. They may have hold on congress"

LIFE IN JAIL A SOFT SNAP.

The report of the county commits sioners of this state shows that there is no profit from prisoners to make a fund for the aid of their poor and suf- fering families. The prisoners earn hundreds of dollars, and the state spends thousands for their keep That they ought Go be obliged to earn their living goes without argument. The prison keepers are so limited in the kind of work that they can do, that the income from prison industries IS very small. The jails of the state which come nearest to paying expenses are those who work the prisoners on farms and on the highways.
 The jail by many people is viewed as a relic of barbarian, and by oth- CTS as an 1ndefensible burden. Those who urge reform even claim that prisoners are made worse by the sys- tenn rather than better. To a lazy man with no pride of character, or a dissolute fellow devoid of the finer feelings, a term In jail is simply a period of free board better than he ever earned for himself-a veritabls soft snap.
 IL Is no easy task to devise a better method; but that more beneficial and satisfactory system is needed no one will deny. It is to be hoped that the genius is already born who will discover the way to make the jails of Connecticut self-sustaining reforma- tories.

Workings of condeseension.

The workings of condescension as between nations, and between parts of nations, are worthy of more considera- tion than has ever been given to the subject. Why does not some one write book about it. going back to the earliest dawn of recorded history :? The contemporaneous examples of the trait are most perplexing. When one is in Europe he realizes what criss- cross of condescension lines there are on the map between races, between countries, between provinces, cities. and smaller communities. And here at home the crisscross is most compli- cated, descending to the geogra phy of towns and parts of towns. In fact. there probably never was a commit nifty in the world where some section did not assume an air of disdain and condescension toward another. In a big city the look from above down. ward does not all exist one way. If the residential" quarter of New York only knew it, it might be surprised to find that there is suspiciousness. on the part of the East side" concern ing the more prosperous quarters and their inhabitants not surpassed by any in the opposite direction.-Editoria in the November Century.

1t had been impossible for Kennedy to resist the picture. So he bought it.
 Merely going to see 1t was rashness, but going to see it at the close or an expensive summer tour in Europe was sheer madness. At least that was what Mrs. Kennedy told him.
 "NonsenseI" said Kennedy. we can cut off a little here and there next winter and the $1.000 will be made up before you know it. Why, it will give the crowning touch 10 our house. We can go slow for a few months and make up for it!"
 Then what's the use of my taking home all these new Paris clothes?' demanded his wife in great disgust. "You infuriate me at times, Lemuel Kennedyl I've no Intention whatever of being 2 hermit for dozen pie tures!'
 Well, it's bought and paid for and that's the end of the expense" con- soled Kennedy.
 The painting arrived safely in Cni- cago. After it was unpacked the Ken nedys saw it had grown in size. In Europe it had been merely good sized picture; in a Chicago house 1t was calmly, beautifully overwhelming.
 Now, let's see" Kennedy murmur- ed with his hand to his chin as he walked about the picture where 1t stood propped up against bookcases. Where on earth can we put it?'
 Its your picture, you know, Lem uel," Mrs. Kennedy said to him with the deadly sweetness in her voice of one who could but wouldn't say she had told him so.
 T know what's the trouble" Ken nedy announced, after an evening of study. "The picture moldings are all too low. I've thought so for some time. I really meant to have them changed when we redecorated last spring. I've never liked the color of those walls since they were done, Har- riet. You know, spoke about it that first evening I came home after the decorators got through. Don't you remember?"
 'Lemuel," responded Mrs. Kennedy, coldly, don't beat about the bush. If it is your intention to go to all the expense of redecorating just for the sake of your new picture, I can't stop you! If you want to take the bread out of your children's mouths I SUD- pose it is your privilegel"
 Tt won't cost so awfully much ' said Kennedy, who already was rum aging among the receipted bills. "Here it isl The last time these two rooms were done the cost was s251.67. think a dull-green grasscloth would be the thing, and then we could raise the holdings.

was in the uproar of visitation Of painters, carpenters and decorators. The floors had to be done over so the new walls should not outshine them. When the grasscloth was partially on 1t became apparsent that the hang . ings for the windows and doors would never do in the world. The new chairs had to be reupholstered, too, so that they should not clash.
 He had the picture hung in the music room, where 1t would be ylslDle at the end of vista from the library. For a week he walked around 1t, studying the effect and considering.
 'Lemuel," said his wife at last, you will drive me crazyi When you are not glued to the front of that picture you are darting madly to the end or the library and squinting at 1t from distancel I wish you had left 1t In Europe!"

 The partition, with much dust and disturbance came out. Then Mrs. Kennedy spoke.
 'Temuel," she said, T find that up to date your painting has cost you just s2,174.30. At this rate soon we shall be homeless, or at least dwelling in a partitionless barn, with picture at one end of it. I intend to save the remnants of your fortune and the raveIings of your intellect. We'll pack up and go east for two weeks to re- cuperate from the madonna!"
