AN lmPoRr4Nr DECISION

The supreme court of New York has just handed down g. decision which is of interest to builders and contractors alike in all parts of the country. In the case at issue the plaintiff con- traeted with builder for a house and paid him some four thousand dollars. The builder sublet most of the work. borrowed three thousand dollars on the property and skipped Liens were at once filed by the sub-contractors against the property, but the court holds that they could collect only from the builder.
 Every contractor in the state" says New York paper. twill make g care ful note of this decision, and hereafter the sub-contractors will watch their interests with the general contractors more carefully. There has been con- siderable uncertainty in regard to our lien laws. This decision will clear the atmosphere and every sub-con- tractor will know just where he stands"
 This is exactly as it should be- The property owner doesn't know the sub contractors and has had no business with them, and 1t is clear enough that the builder who runs away with the money paid him on the job takes his sub- contractors money, not the money of the builder solely. This is fair law any way it is looked at. Why should the builder be obliged to pay twice?

Messina's Last Touch of Horror

How man-eating sharks added to the horrors of the Messina catastrophe is told in a scientific report which has just been published by the Italian Geological society. The report, which has been submitted by Prof. Candorel- Ii and Prof. Fernando of Catania, say that few weeks after the great earth quake some fishermen off the Sicilian coast were catching a big porpoise when the animal was torn from their grasp by the biggest shark they had ever seen. After a severe struggle the monster was harpooned and drag ged into Catania harbor.s 1t proved to be a so-called Carchardodon carcha- rias. and the fishermen were horrified at finding in the creatures stomach a quantity of human remains. Profess sOr Perrando examined these remains and found them to be those of a man about SO, a woman and a child of about 6, judging by the size of the skeleton. The mans hobnailed shoes and ,woolen stockings and pieces of the woman's dress showed that they belonged to the working class. The remains were past Identification, but the authors Of the report believe that it can be safely assuHed that the vic- tims were swept into the sek on the fateful day and dcvorred alive by the monster The Carcharodon carcharias, the report foes an, is RaRely seen in the Mediterranean. and few muzaaxms

DO WE FOSTER DISEASE?

This is what the people of this coun- try are charged with by Professor Fisher of Yale, who proceeds to show that through violation of health laws and prevalent filthiness. 5000, 000 peo- pie in this country are kept constantly sick and twice as many millions vast ed as it takes to operate the national government
 He cites the preventible diseases and then says of three of them:
 Tuberculosis holds 500,000 persons continuously in it's grasp. and makes this condition stand out more hideous- Iy by the assertion that it is entirely possible to wipe out the sceurge with in a single generation. Again, it is shown that typhoid, another prevent able malady, costs the country $350,- GOO, 00e yearly because we fail to give attention to simple details That the disease can be wiped out he cites in proof the individual instance of the city of Lawrence, which, by discarding it's former water supply, reduced the typhoid mortality by more than 80 per cent.
 Malaria, it is shown, costs the country s1OO, 1000, 900 annually, and this disease is wholly preventable, as has been proven by the action of several cities, which undertook ard success fully eliminated the cause of malaria
 What is needed is activity in the interest of health--the keeping of tie streets clean and of private prem ises sweet and healthy. If there was money in health measures for the selfish there would be hustiing for better conditions, as there is in every compensatory field known to man.

APPLYING THE LASH.

The Hartford Courant is applying the lash to the legislature, and it de- serves to be warned and warmed LID little. Ii really appears to be vast ing time and breaking promises. It does not seem to be looking through 2oth-centnry spectacles in it's inter pretation of these times-lt seems to be acting as Vanderbilt felt when he. petulantly exclaimed: The pub lie be --i" This is the double leaded address The Courant made to the general assembly on Thursday morning:
 Reject the employers liability act; kill off the repeal Of the s5,00e limit for killing; do nothing about public utilities; and then wonder how men, when a campaign comes on. can ret up and talk 'dernagogically' about the rights of the common people and the influence of corporations on legis- lation. It is blind and crazy policy: and, when the whiriwind that is being sowed now breaks on us, those who have pleaded against such a policy will be the very ones that will be ap- pealed to for help"
 When one remembers how much was expected of this legislature, it does seem to have been disappointment from start to finish. It should bear in mind what Lincoln said about fool ing the people-a sentiment which might do it's best service written up- on the walls of all the legislative halls in the land.

THE LusrER OF MACDONALD.

In the good roads world, Connecti- cuts highway commissioner shines. The people who are bounding him do not care if he has been president of the National Good Roads convention of the United States, or if he is one of the star speakers at the coming National Good Roads convention to be held at Cleveland, Ohio, in Septem- Der, or 1.-The was invited to contribute a paper to the great International Good Roads convention held in Paris last year.
 Speaking of his being booked to ad- dress the convention at Cleveland in September next, the Hartford Post says:
 "commissioner Macdonald has been the head of this national organization, himself. and is recognized by it as one of the foremost among the expert au- thorities in the country on good roads and the art of good road construction. if not actually the father of the good roads movement on national scale. The work he has accomplished in this state received the admiration and approval of leaders in the movement far and near, and has had the effect of bringing to him fattering offers from other states, to take charge of the good roads departments of those states at literally his own price, It may. not be generally known that pre- cisely such an offer-and standing offer, at that-has come to him from one of the wealthiest and most enter prising states in the west. and at what ls Virtually a financial sacrifice he de- flines to take it into serious considera- lion while his own state shows any disposition to appreciate the value of his services here. and the Connecticut good roads system, which he laid out rom the beginning. is yet uncomplet- ld sy
 "The subject on which the commis- yioner will speak at the national con- veution, State Aid is one on which he Is as well qualified to speak as if il were How to Perpetuate the Pike for state aid comes to him as naturally Es water to a milk wagon as the rec ord of the last few legislatures will Bhow. Which is the most convincing proof of Connecticut's absolute con- version to the state aid principle in good roads construction-under the supervision of Commissioner Macdon- Rld.n
 These are deserved words for a man who in thirteen years has carried Con- neeticut to the front rank as a good roads builder and who is capable of holding the state there firm and steady.

WHAT THE PAPERS SAY.
EarIy sprayina the eest.

Alexander Cummings, superintendent of streets of Hartford, and now forest CT in chief over tree spraying gang of twelve men, is 5rcvi1sg that the most successful method of saving the foli- age of elm trees from the elm tree beetle Is to begin work as soon as the leaves are out and before any evidence of devastation has appeared. which is an open acknowledgement of that old but truthful saying that preeention is better than cure. MT. Cummings play ed the role of the early bird this year and as result he has caught the early beetle and it's larvae. which he has ex- terminated and saved the beautiful elm trees of the city, SO that they will con- tinue during the remainder of the sum mer to serve their purpose as objects of beauty as well as shade producers. His work is practically finished on the city trees. and that it has been ef- fectiye goes without saying when the trees on private property that have not been sprayed in time are entrusted with those on the public thoroughfare.

 pay her and of course I told her. And
 that was absolutely everything we
 said.
 -'iBut she told me some things. Do
 you know, Mrs. Barber puts in four full-size sheets in the wash every. week? I told her that we always put
 the top sheet on the bottom and saved
 sheet on each bed that way. And
 then she spoke of those Sunday night
 dinners of Mrs. Barber's- And of
 Mrs Barbers many little affairsEshes always entertaining. you know. I told
 her that we loved entertaining, but that we managed a little differently.
 For always wait until I owe. every one and then give one big affair and have it over. We all have much better time that way, I think. and it spares the maid. I told her the only small affairs I give are Sunday evening suppers. for the few near. and dear friends. And that always get them
 myself. and never keep Eiida Sunday afternoons or evenings. We talked naturally, and only because had to wait for Hilda."
 Do you know how much Mrs Bar Der paysT. asked her husband, with a growing smile.
 Why. yes; Mrs. Barber told me the other day. And Mrs. Barber said that Annabel saved her dollars every week on the grocery bill by her careful man. agement. That's why we can afford to 1 pay her what I offered her.

 ''Who's Annabel% asked Weaver. t"Oh, yes, the maid in the fiat down stairs.''
 "Of course. She asked if would be wiling to take her with us to our new house. She's been dissatisfied a long time with Mrs. Barber, and she wants to make a change anyway, so as to be near her sister, who lives in one of the suburbs, near where we are going. Now, what do you think? Shall [ take her? Of course, she's a spien- did maid-so kind to the children and so systematic in every way in the housework. But if I take her Mrs. Barber will say
 why go into what she will say?" asked Weaver. If you want the girl, here your chance. You'll need another the house.
 Weaver took out his after dinner ci- gar with an air of having closed the subject for all time.

If the acceptance of President Taft of an invitation to attend the inaugu- ration ceremonies at Wesleyan next October Is due to the influence of President Shanklfr, who is now in Washington, it is only an indication of the enterprise and forethouglt of the new head of Wesleyan. It is a singular fact that no president of the United States has ever paid a visit to this city, at least within recent years, and the coming of President Taft, provid- ed the present arrangements do not miscarry, will be an event of unusual importance not only to Wesleyan but to the citY.=Middfetow Sun.
