 Quite naturally respect for him Jumped to tho highest point among those who had seen him working. possibly no moro nor no less diligent- ly than they had been working The respect came from the knowledge that n man who had risen to such honor should take his time to do manual labor.
 Reverse the situation. Think of the "I knew him when-people." An employer has clerk Probably he may notice that he is diligcnt. possi- bIy he may not. Possibly he may heed somo suggestion to how tn" store should be conducted: possibly ha may not.
 In time the clerk leaves the employ of that man and is not heard Of for q long time. Then information comes that the former clerk has developed into d merchant prince'' and, through his own efforts. has established, say,
  him fame throughout the country The employer. still running his store more or less successfully, immediately joins the "I knew him when, club" He may have few bitter feelings that he did not heed the suggestions of the clerk and benefit thereby. or he may feel that the clerk, at tho time he employed him. was not cap able of doing the things he has since done.
 Either way one looks at it, there is thought in the action of Major Gen eral Liggctt which may he played with tho reverse English.
 But such cases are rare. Most em- ploycrs are employers because of the fact that they have been big enough to see possibilities in people and in business. Most clerks are clerks eith- CT because they have had no oppor- tunity or because they are clerks by nature
 Both clerks and employers should remember the suggcstivcncss of the litni story.

THE CITY AND ITS PEOPLE.

And now entereth the Spring Poet. to commune with nature, leaving his spouse at home to commune with the dinner dishes and, if her strength lasts, with the floor mop. He spieth a shrinking violet nestling in a messy bank and he .plucketh it. Plugging it to his breast he crieth out with ex- cruciating joy: Hail, prodigal friend. Welcome to city. Enraptured with the tingling pleasure of great discovery, he embracethr it again and again, showering careSses upon it. the while his soul is perme ca ted with the ecstasy of the occasion.
 Straightway homeward he speedeth, his head in a mist of coral and pearl and jasper and his mind swimming in a lambent pool of ambrosia dis titled Olympus. So great is his haste that he wotteth not the pres ence of the butcher baker, landlord and various others whose brains are besotten with low thoughts of bar ter and commerce. and he knocketh them off their pins as they block the doorway. Into the house he rusheth and bruiseth his children-dirty-f faced chlldfen-WhO crowd about shouting Papa has an idea" To his study he hasteneth and grasping a quill dashes into his Great Work. Out from his mind poureth sweet thoughts of as- phodel, golden shafts from the sun and verdant meadows newly renovat- ed by Natures carpet sweeper.
 Aftere two hours of this, straight from the house he beateth it to the sanctum of Ye Editor, to whom all seasons are alike with the fragrance of ink, metal dross. stale glue and corncob pipes. As he approacheth the entrance to the sanctum, his flight is arrested by an arrogant hand, like the ham of traffic cop. An of- flee boy mocketh his serious mien, saying spill the info here, and start the other way" In vain he pro- testeth that his business is of a per- sonal nature and threateneth dire things to the Fresh Keeper of the Gate. Skippeth he to left and right, attempting to dodge through the por- tai but the office boy. like Johnny Kilbane, is a bit of a heel and toe artist himself.
 At last exhausted, the Spring Poet sinketh to the floor unconscious. At which, forthwith there entereth two brutish persons with brooms and shovels and at once falleth to work, gathering with little tenderness the form of the breathless rhymster. And

some day n leader will rise to cham plon the cause of the class of people not called ''aristocrats. plutocrats. wealthy. etc"
 He will be a real leader. He may come from the wealthy class or he may not.
 In all probability he will come from among the men who do manual Ia Dor. He will be one who has first learned by experience, then. recogniz- ing that education is necessary to meet the educated on their own ground. he will study.
 Through such a man. ana through such a man only, will come harmony between labor and capital. And. 1t k believed. capital by that time will have learned more of labor; labor will have learned more of capital, and the working in harmony will thus be made the easier.
 William D. Haywood rose to be a leader of a certain organization within the ranks of those opposed to capital. There was a time when it was thought he was quite a man. The time passed. He was given all the honors the radical element in the group he led were able to give him. Drunk with aduIation, perhaps. he carried things too far. He was not great leader. His heart may have been "in the right place" at first But his own power moved it into n place SO wrong that he was disloyal to his country.
 He betrayed the trust that was those who followed him. Today it k said of his former followers have doomed him to death if he has de- serted them.
 Now. it is reported. he is in Rus sin. He Is under sentence to serve term. in the Federal prison at Leavcnworth. He was to have begun that sentence this week. He is now man without n country--a fugitive from justice. hated by his old follow CTS because they may suffer from his desertion-if he has fled. Again it is reiterated--a great lead CT will spring up, probably from among the people" His progress sive ideas will he tempered with pa triotism and sound. common sense. There will come no shame from fol- l lowing him. But he will not he an- other William D. Haywood. Near-Ieaders. men who possess latent possibilities for leadership and | the rank and file of men should re- member Haywood's career.

STATE FUND THREATENED

The latest move on the part of this city to do something for the cx-serv icemen is admirable but to some there is question whether or not the new service mems council, with it's $3,OOO appropriation will have the de- sired effect. It will inasmuch as cover ing the clerical work which is neces- sary for filling out paper for war risk insurance and vocational train ing, but the effects on the state fund is liable to be dire.
 The S3,000 includes certain amount for loaning the needy cases. The requirement for the state fund also has the word needy in it. New Britain has been getting its share of the st .te fund, and the men have been faring better than any other city of this size in the state This condition is undoubtedly due to the fact that all servicemen's posts in this city went on record as being in favor of bonus from the state. and the desire on the part of the advo- cates of the state fund to prove that the fund was more desirable than a bonus tended to make the donations more liberal here.
 From time to time, Frank s. But terworth, treasurer of the American Legion, under whose charge the dis tI ibution of the state fund was placed by the Board of Control, would call up members of the committee in this town and ask them to ''go easy" on requests. He was, in short, Sropins around for an excuse to cut this city down on donations, and it is the opinion of many that now with the $3,OO0 available for needy ex-serv- lco men. there ia an excuse to cut down or state fund donations to New Britain.

 did so because I was convinced that Briscoe had no superior in its field. It is not nearly so well known as it should be owing to the fact that the company has been content with mod crate production nearly always over sold.

The financial resources of the com pany are ample for any expansion that may be desired and l took the presi dency with the stipulation that we
 would go out after business on the scale which the car and the stand ing of the company justified. Read justment of the organization by the
 addition of several strong men is the first step.'
 New Britain will most likely be spared a labor dispute of serious scope this spring. This assumption is based on the fact that journeymen painters and plumbers have agreed i to accept a reduction in the wage

 most important branches connected strike, members of the painters union have announced that they will work for less pay. Similar action on the part of the plumbers followed, lead ing to the hope that others con-

 Certain lumber is actually selling at pre-war prices. brick has been reduced in price in certain sections. Building material is lower.
