MAYOR GAYNOR DRAWS A MORAL

The bullet wound which Mayor
Gaynor of New York city received
about three years ago. when an at
tempt was made upon his life, still
causes him serious trouble; which de-
tanned him at his Long Island home
several days. In response to friends
inquiry as to his health the mayor
described his trouble as "fshhook

teristic letters he said:

it into their heads that by combined
and violent effort they could succeed
in casting this .ishhook out Of my

But, as in their former occasional at

thoroughly demonstrated that the
charm once exercised over his imagi-
nation by this beautiful woman had
completely vanished. He saw her now
as she was-heartless, selfish, using
her spell of beauty for her own sordid
ends. If there had been left a shred
Of romance in his memory Of her, it

coolness, her adroit changing OF
moods, convinced him she was playing

he reviewed, word by word, each SEN

There then was deliberate false

imagine it would make any difference

LIE Fevre from discovery? The latter
reason appeared the more probable,
for the man must have been in the
neighborhood lately, else where did
that haversack come from?

these thoughts that he hardly real

the success attained by the system OF

even in land where labor receives

when unemployment insurance will

today by many who had predicted a

Real Political PIums

The statement of the expense OF
miscellaneous employees at Montpelie-
which has been published by some o.
the state papers shows that there arc
political plums in Vermont. The,
are not, as so generally charged,
in the responsible offices of the state
but in the employees in and about
the state house during the session
of the. legislature. The pages, the
sweepers, photographers and employ
es of that character received $32,-
101.79 from the state during the las
session of the legislature, or $263.1s
per day. The sweepers in the stat,
house, employed only a few hours
daily received nearly $500 each and
some of the young boys employed
messengers drew in excess of that
sum. The biggest plum of all was
that drawn by the executive clerk
who was paid $15.55 per day. The
clerk of the house drew $592.53
more than the speaker and the sec.
rotary of the senate $1O3.75 more
than the lieutenant governor.
That these things are not right
will be admitted by every thinking
man in the state. 1t is not the frs
time such things have occurred as
there has been a regular practice O.
introducing resolutions by piecemea
at each session of the legislature
making the pay of these different
employees the same as that of the
members. Years ago when the SEES
sions were short it did not amour
to a large sum but now it makes e
big budget. The next session should
fix an equitable compensation for
the different classes of work and
enact a law at the opening of the
session fixing the wages for this
class of employees.
