They's lots O folks who deprecate all things that ain't their own: their principal accomplishment in music is a moan: they sees the bow-wows waitin' to receive the world at large. How different would all things be if they was put in charge! They can't see nothin'. good in them with whom they works each day: they wonders how it is the firm will give 'em any pay.

TREND OF PRICES.

Retail prices increased two per cent in the month ending June Is. announces the Labor Department of the United States. The same an- nouncement declares that wholesale prices decreased one per cent.
 Details further show that food prices. wholesale, decreased 3-4 per cent and clothing. wholesale, de- creased 2 1-2 per cent. Living costs generally are nine per cent higher than in January.
 These figures, of course, are general made after survey of the whole country. While they cause a feeling against the increasing wrong of prices the small consumer has to pay, one thing must be remembered.
 They were not compiled after an investigation of New Britain alone: they may or may not apply at all to prices in New Britain.
 And 1t Is believed that they do not apply. Certainly one would not say that on June IS, when nearly every store window displayed cards announcing reductions. prices had reached new high mark here.
 IL is believed that prices here have lowered during the summer. Mer- chants have had all sorts of trouble with transportation of goods and have had other worries, but they have been making reductions in dry goods. clothing and miscellaneous arr ticles. to the benefit of the people here.
 But the figures do show an increase in the tendency of merchants all over the country. which is not ap- preciably altered by the reductions in this vicinity. to take a last fling at profiteertng before it is too late. Whatever may be said there is no question but that with wholesale prices going down. and retail prices going up. the retailer IS at fault.
 Figures do not lie: but here is n case where. it is belived. they give wrong idea of New Britain mer- chants.

PURE WATER.

Apropos of the fishing in the reser- voir" discussion, it has been learned from one in authority that the ex- crcta from one person afflicted with typhoid fever symptoms would pol lute q whole body of water as large as the Shuttle Meadow reservoir.
 And apropos of the same matter it is noted today that cities using purifying chemicals are in distress because the car shortage prevents their receiving that purifying matter. Ofiieers of the United States Public Health Service are alarmed at the situation.
 Surgeon General Cummings. head of the service Says that very few large cities have sources of supply f that do not need to be purified be- fore tho water Is fit for drinking. Also During the past ten years purifica- ton with alum and chlorine has been tho greatest single factor in the con- trol of typhoid fever. Unless rail- roads find it possible immediately to transport the necessary material to the cities the most serious con- sequences in the form of epide mics of typhoid fever are to be appre- hended."
 The drinking water used in New Britain is not thus purified. although the tendency is toward considering the purifying process wise. There is no intention to raise an alarm as to our drinking water.
 There is. however, the desire to keep our water as pure as it is in order that we may not suffer from conta aminating influences which. car ried to an excess, would certainly necessitate the installation of such a device.
 7 If chemicals were ever found to be necessary-even though they.may not be deemed so at present-we would often be subject to the worry which now has come to other cities. We would be at the mercy of the rail- roads and tho limit of their trans portation facilities. This. it seems. Is one more reason for the edict of the water commissioners that fishing in the reservoirs, with it's possibility of pollution by thoughtless or care less fishermen. must stop.

Pittsburgh Manufacturers Even Will ing to Move Discharged Workers
 and Families

Pittsburgh, Pa, July 22.-Pitts- burgh manufacturers will place every one of the 12,OOO men laid off by the Pennsylvania Railroad lines, East, If they want to take employment in the Pittsburgh district,
 This was the statement made here today by big manufacturers who de- clare that premature opinion" only indicates that the action of the rail- road is the beginning of an indus trial depression. On the contrary, these manufacturers belive the lay ing off the workmen in some sections of the country will furnish labor for other districts that are now badly hampered by a shortage of man. power.
 Inuuires at the various industries as far east as Mckeesport and as far west as Youngstown as to their la bor status. brought out the fact that practically all are advertising for la bor. One of the employers stated that the 12,000 men laid off by the Pennsylvania in the Eastern district would be eaten up" in the Pittsburgh district in thirty minutes.
 "If they are office men," he said. i've could use them in our offices: if they arc plant men, we could use them in our plants. We need labor in all departments. And such is the case everywhere as I find it"
 It was stated today that many of the big industrial concerns here are arranging to send their employment agents to Philadelphia to engage men laid off and would even go as far as to move them and their families to Pittsburgh.

of Nations as propostd by MT. Will son and upon which he and his party still insist ought never to be accept ed by the American people. We have been and are quite ready to join in agreement with other nations, for the extension of the Hague conventions; for the upbuilding and codification of international law and the eStab- liShment of a world court of justice; for international conferences in re- gard to -justiciable questions, and for arrangements to bring about a general reduction of armaments All these constructive measures are in accord with the traditional policy of the republican party which has done so much in the past to forward the cause of international arbitration. But when we are called upon to be- come an integral part of a permanent alliance of foreign powers, to put ourselves in position where the youth of the country can be sum moned by foreign nations to fight and die in quarrels not their own, to entangle ourselves in all the conflicts and disputes of Europe where we have no interest, to permit foreign interference with our domestic queS- tions and with the Monroe Doctrine, and to sit in an assembly where our vote is not the equal of that of every other country. we absolutely decline the proposition.
 What G. O. P. Stands for.
 We stand for the policies of Washington and the doctrine of Mon- roe. and against the internationalism and the permanent alliance with for eign nations proposed by the presi- dent. If the world needs us as they needed us in 1917 we shall not fail in our duty, but we can help other nations far better if we are free and untra mmeled and do not permit our strength and our resources to De wasted and worn away and the lives of our young men to be sacrificed in endless hostilities with which we have no concern. Such has been the policy of the republican : party as represented in the senate and such its policy will remain. We are cer- tain that you who helped so largely to frame this policy will, when the executive authority comes into your hands, carry it out in such manner that we can fulfill all our responsi- bilities to the world without binding ourselves by any obligations to a league which as submitted by the president is but another name for the evil combination which was attempt ed a hundred years ago by the ill., omened Holy Alliance.
 No national campaign for the presidency has ever involved graver issues than this one, which now lies before us. Upon you, sir, will rest the great duty and heavy burden of executive authority. We look to you in full confidence to lead us and the people of our beloved country out from the darkness and confusion which the war has brought upon mankind into the light which shines upon a nation where peace reigns and the love of justice, of law and of order rules in the hearts of the people. Then we can again take up the work of advancing the United States along the broad road that leads to success, the road which we have followed for more than century. Then indeed we shall not only rise to still loftier heights of achievement for ourselves, but be enabled to rem der the largest and finest service to humanity
