It is seldom that there are assembled at any one point as many of the pro- minent writers of this country, as have been at the Fl Tovar this past week. Principal among them are George Lorimer, editor of the Satur- day Evening Post, and author, among other things of that popular book, Letters of a Self-made Merchant to his Son." With him are Charles Van Loan who is one of the writers for the Post, and who has a number of books to his credit, Harry Leon Wilson of "Ruggles of Red Gap" Bunker Bean" and other stories, as we'll as Peter B.. Kyne, whose principal recent stories are those sea-tales concerning the an- cient "Cappy Kicks" and shipping business in and around San Francisco. These scribes are accompanied by their families and will be at the Can yon for about ten days.

The Transient Job. ( Manchester. Herald.l

This is a time when the man will ing to accept a transient job can get high pay. The demand for supplies for the European war has caught the United States With a reduced supply of workmen, owing to the falling Eff in immigration and to the return of many of the foreign. born men to fight in the war The munition factor ies and those factories which feed the intuition factories are very busy on urgent orders and are wiling to pay fancy prices for help.
 This makes the situation very hard for those manufacturers and employ CTS of labor who give steady work year after year. They have no war orders paying immense profits and at best car advance their prices only little yet in the employment of labor they have to come into competition with the war goods factories with their high wages.
 We do not blame wage-earners for wanting to get as high wages as pos sible; but we cannot avoid the belief that in the run the man who has and holds a steady job at normal wages will be better off than the man who leaves such a job to take the higher pay offered by the intuition factories. The war is going to stop some day be- fore long and then wages will drop with a thud. After the war the man who has steady work in his home town will be better off than the man who has had transient employment at high wages in place where he IS not known and where his employer has no interest in his welfare.
 The war is a godsend to the man
 ;~J,. h,yt no fl1Q good job, and especially the man who has a home and is surrounded by a. circle of relatives and friends, makes a mistake If he is lured away by fh promise of big pay while tho

"BARkIS IS WILLIN'."

As the days draw nearer to Novern- Der the acts of Colonel Roosevelt take on added significance. There are those who believe after all is said and done, after the national republican convention is assembled in Chicago in will be placed before the American people as the man to lead the re united party against the present hold
 CTS of the fort. Just how all this seen; but the one thing certain is that the Colonel is laying his plans. The fact that yesterday at Oyster Bay he pra ctically outlined the terms upon which he will accept the nomina- tion shows clearly he has again thrown his hat in the ring. His one great effort at present is the keeping of his name off the primary ballots in the several states. This act alone has aroused suspicion. In Ma ssachusetts the Colonel ostensibly had a fight with his henchmen who were so persistent about his welfare. This is all very good political fodder for the masses. After having a little talk with the seemingly unruly boys, Congressman "Gussie'' Gardner and his right bower, Charles Sumner Bird
 down at Oyster Bay, the Colonel re- ceived the subjoined letter signed by the four candidates for delegates at large from the old Bay State:-
 we have earnestly considered your insistent request to MT. Bird that your name should not be used in the Mas sachusetts primaries. Your name is to use your name in our campaign. We regret that we do not see our way clear to comply with your request.
 We are, however, in hearty accord
 with the spirit of your Trinidad state ment. and, if elected, shall go to the ] convention unpledged in the sense that while you are our first choice we shall be free and open minded to 1 support that man, whoever he may i be, who represents those principles l that you are so courageously adVocat- 1 ing and which you so successfully
 maintained when president. In spite
 of the fact that you do not in any 1 way cOuntenance this movement oi 1 ours, we cannot give up our ligb+ as citizens to fight for what we conside, kto be our countrys need"

"A" as a Symbolic Letter.
(New York Sun.)

pr. Brander Matthews will be shocked at the action of the house of representatives on Saturday in unanimously recommending the re- storation of the letter 'k to the word Merrimack. The river and harbor bill had eliminated the seem ingly superfiuous letter from the name of a stream dear to the hearts of all New Englanders, but that love of American traditions, that determl- nation to preserve. from vandalism everything that recalls our glorious national past which always actuates the lower house of congress brought well deserved disaster to those icono- c}asts who would save printers ink at the expense of the romantic flavor that emanates from so many of our native geographical names.
 There will be no scoffers and doubters, of course, who will main- tain that by putting the "k" back into Merrimack on April Fools day the house of representatives was merely playing a joke at the expense of Dr. Matthews and other phonetic spoilers, and had no intention of making an apparently popular letter of the alphabet symbolic of pa triotic conservatism upon the part Of the house embracing issues 4of a much larger scope than are covered by a mere detail of orthography. Nevertheless, a healthy optimism, a spirit to be carefully cultivated at present, leads to the conclusion that once, at least, this session our con- aressmen have found themselves unanimou in a. praiseworthy atti- tude toward the sentimental strain in the American people.
 Our national legislators intend to prevent anybody, native American, hyphenated American or foreigner from destroying any idol dear to our people, whether that idol be silent letter, a basic principle of democracy CT a fundamental feature of interna- tiOnal law.

  Pyoducer 0f Cotton

Washington, D. C.. April 6--"Some idea of the importance of the most recent sources of cotton supply open ed to the Central Powers by thfeir conquest of the Serbian link of the Orient railway is given by a survey of the cotton producing areas of the world which shows how completely Austria Hungary and Germany were shut off from the raw cotton mar ket,' says a war primer just given out by the National Geographic so- ciety.
 The United States, of course is the worlds greatest producer of cot, ton. It is the American product which regulates the cotton markets of the world. India, Egypt and Brazil are the next most important places for the production of this commodity. The Indian, Egyptian and Brazilian cotton markets are largely dominated by Great Britain, which, since the war, has also largo ly regulated the disposition of the American crop.

The Colonel has plans and he does not want them up- set, Furthermore, the primaries are not to his liking, although he advo- cated them more than four years ago. If the boys in Massa chusetts have gone little strong in their enthuSl- aSm there has been always saving grace to their actions.

The father Of the man who wrote the article used the columns of the paper that had brought light and comfort4 to the home far away from the cen ters of population. The lessons drawn in this little sermon on the general influence and value o1 newspapcFs ia home are as applicable to a north erfl, audiGnce as to the one in Gecrgtn.

 All this applies to the daily visit of a newspaper into the homes of Con- necticut today. A newspaper cannot enter a home every day in the year without it's impression; influences are started there by that newspaper that are liable to remain through life in the minds and in the actions of those who read it. The life current of the people who come under it's ministra- tions, whether they be old or young are always liable to be changed by this silent visitor No one could make these regular visits. as does a news paper without leaving an impression on the persons in the home; and the newspaper probably moulds public l opinion at the present day as it did, in Georgia back in 1870 more than. any other agency.
 It is not surprising. therefore, that a family that has read any one news paper for many years should feel the i greatest affection for 1t, inhale the spirit of its policies, hold a friendly 1 attitude towards it's utterances, and 1 continually consider it the Nlost well l come visitor that enters the. home. This all means that daily or week ! ly newspaper should be a careful yis= itor and that it's influence there. should be of type to create such "A memory as the southern newspaper 1 did in the little home In Georgia.
