der by what right or license this
concern. doing business for the State
under an illegal and law-ignoring ar

business ON the States money.
II the Waterville Sentinel Pub. Co.
had discovered ok-keeper's error
"by which it had collected ten times

I If this error had been discovered
at the State House. after the bill had
been 20 K'd'' by the various clerks

passed, and it had been paid, why had
not State Auditor Stevens issued
peremptory demand upon the Water
vile Sentinel Co. for the immediate
return of the States money?
Well, Mr.. Farmer and Mr.. Business
Man, right here is made plain some of
the very decidedly advanced methods
of finance and economy" practiced by
the present administration. On
| Tuesday State Auditor Stevens was
again asked if the more than $500
| overcharges paid the Sentinel had
| been refunded and he replied
"Credit has been given to the State
by the Sentinel and the overcharge
| on the stock will be taken out of pay
nent for the September ballot print

| Mr.. Stevens was asked if such re-
| funding arrangement was made at the
request of the Governor and Council.
| He replied:
al don't know as the Governor and
Council know anything about the
error. II is a matter of bookkeeping
in the auditors department. The
State already owes the Sentinel for
other printing and to take it out Of
the September ballot printing will be
the most convenient"

until the State owes you something.

Sixth Monthly Meeting Held at Miss
 Browns Studio.
 The sixth monthly meeting of the Canaan Equal Franchise League was held on Saturday, March 2, at Miss Browns studio.
 A gratifying amount of suffrage busi- ness was transacted and plans for future work were matured.
 The study of civics was discussed and a committee, consisting of Mrs. Frank Hitchcock and Mrs. R. D. Peirce, was appointed to decide upon ways and means of pursuing the subject to the greatest possible advantage.
 It was decided that the regular meet ings should hereafter be divided into two periods, one to be devoted strictly to the business of the League and the other solely to. the study of civics. This win make it possible for those townspeopls who do not care to be members of the League, and yet who would enjoy talk ing up this interesting study with it, to do SO without having to attend the sus- frage period of each meeting.
 It is thought that this study will be of inestimable value to those who indulge in it. It should make for broader in- terest in our nation, in our state, in our town and in our community lives. It should be of value to teachers; it should render wives better equipped to con. verse on an equal footing with their husbands upon the subjects in which they are most interested; and. above ali, it should assist mothers in guiding their children in matters governmental-in short, it should make for better future voters.

A TRAMPS' NEST.

Took Possession of Choppers Shanty and Terrorized the People.
 Deputy Sheriff Rhoades was notified Monday that gang of three or four repulsive looking tramps were domiciled in the shanty owned by the New Eng land Lime Company, down below the camp ground, snd had been making themselves obnoxious to the residents of that vicinity, especially to the house wives, who had begun to be afraid of them. The deputy sheriff. with Con- stable Hornbeck, of Falls Village, made a descent upon the place, the same night, but found that their game had departed just before their arrival, and were mo- where to be found. It is supposed they went south.
 The shanty is admirably adapted for the purposes of tramps. It. is an unoc- cupied building, inhabited by wood choppers when there is wood job be- ing operated. It is equipped with 8 stove and three or four hunks, and makes fine rendezvous for the peripatetic fra ternity, who may enjoy life there, with what wood they can readily gather from the adjacent timber land, and the pro. visions they can beg or steal.

The attor- ney general does not feel that he wishes to discontinue his law practice in South Norwalk at this time, and this would be necessary if he should be chosen by the commonwealth to occupy the governor E chair as he could not consistently prac- tice in courts over which judges would preside whom he himself had appointed
