IN INSTANT FAVOR
Charles K. chsmplin Stock Company
 Makes Friends In Putnam

Departing from the usual offering of cheap melodrama, or worse, pre- senting stage settings that were quite in keeping with a high class reper- toire. the Charles K. Champlin Stock Company. an organization of actors and actresses quite capable of handl- ing the modern vehicles on the three days program they presented in Put nam. courted and received the favor of their audiences at the Bradley theatre. Monday, Tuesday and Wed nesday afternoon and evening II was the debut of Mir Champlin and his associates in this city. They prov ed their own best advertisement Tor from the first to the last presentation those who saw their painstaking ef- forts told their friends that there was a company in town well worth seeing \ return engagement will be welcome at any time as the audiences all felt most kindly disposed toward the ae- tors and their productions.
 IL seems futile to go through the east taking each individual as sub feet of comment There was little Co criticise and everything to praise in the work of Mir. Champlin, Miss Ha- gel Baker. Miss Hazel Carleton. Miss Echo Oaksmith. Arthur Griffin, MT. Goodhand. Leon Waycof and others. They strove hard to please and m q very few minutes after the first cur tain rose either side of the footlights was in sympathy and accord with the other.
 Mir. Champlin, in his little curtain speeches. received courteous atten- tion and made a favorable impression. He has grouped plays and players for touring the smaller cities that deserves success, if quality counts for anything. No one need hesitate in recommending the Charles K. Cham pin Stock Company as furnishing a pleasing afternoons or evenings ent- tertainment wherever or whenever the company may appear
 The plays selected for the three days stay at the Bradley were: She Got What She Wanted" "Lightnin, Discarded Wives" and strange Bedfellows." Perhaps the outstand- ing offering was that made famous by the late MT. Bacon, 'Lightnin.' It was superb presentation of this extraordinary comedy drama.

Especial Correspondence to The Putnam Patriotl
"MORTLAKE"

Hartford. Conn. Feb. 22' ls26.- The showing made by Raymond F. Gates in his report for the last six months as head of the department of state agencies. has attracted consld- erable attention and has won for MT. Gates general commendation Wind ham county will have a local interest in the success of Mir. Gates. He IS a native of that county and IS the son of it's sheriff. Charles A. Gates. By the success of his official activities MT Gates has been able to add SoO2,- 9sS to the income of the state Tor the biennial period. This was an increase of S52,9ss over the amount collected for the corresponding period Of l92@ and it indicates an income of con- siderably over Sl,000, ,000 for the cur rent fiscal year which ends June SO next. The money which these figures represent was collected from towns and individuals who were responsible for the cost of caring for persons Tn state institutions. This work was for
 merly done by the state comptroller s office but in such an unsatisfactory way that a change in the law govern ing the system of collections became imperatively necessary This fact was recognized at the legislative session of 1919 when a law was passed creat- ing the department of state agencies and transferring to 1t the work of col- lecting the money due the state for
 the care of persons in its institutions. The purpose of the act of the general assembly was misunderstood at first.
 It was thought 1t would intiiet a hard ship on many people of limited means and of uncertain sources of income
 IL required the assurance of Jacob D. Walt P. who represented the town of Ches i4e and who was house chair man of the committee which reported the bill. that the law would not be op- pressiye on poor people, to secure the passage of the measure. It must be said that the law is capable of real izing the fears that were entertained in some quarters that it was unneces- sarily harsh. It has been saved from that character by the humane admin stration of il by Colonel Robert O. Fla ton. the first agent. and afterwards by his successor.

 ministrator of it and Mir Gates, by the exercise of this power, in kindly sympathetic manner, has made 1t

Since that occasion, Amherst has been heard with unparalleled success throughout all sections of the country.

'The Singing College of New England" has never been more proud of it's representatives than this year. and the enthusiasm which has greeted the Clubs in all of it's concerts is gratifying testimony to the excel fence of its program.
 The clubs this year are making Spring tour of the larger cities.
 Among the numbers which the Clubs will offer is Lord Jeffrey Am herst," perhaps the best known col lege song ever written. and many other familiar college songs and popu lar numbers. One of the features of the organization is Lord Jeffrey's Serenaders, the eight-piece orchestra which will play for dancing.
 Specialties on the program are of fered by an exceptionally versatile quartet, and reader and eccentric dancer.
 Dancing will follow the concert in Odd Fellows Hall. Theatre checks will serve as tickets to the dance. Tickets may be exchanged at theatre after 300 p. m. on Monday. March Is. Seats may be bought at the thea. tre after March 10. 1926.

State Pension Law
 At last Il has been settled, once and for all time, that it Is not lawful for a person Co be on the pension roll of the state and Co be on the list of active employees, and drawing d salary. at the same time. The matter was brought Co a head when Deputy Comptroller F. H. Wilkins refused to pay the pension of SI05 a month Co retired employe of the School for Boys at Meriden who had temporarily returned to active duty and was paid at the rate of his former salary. the expectation being that he could draw his salary and his pension at the same time. The position taken by Mir. Will kins was sustained by Attorney Gen eral Frank F. Healy who advised against the payment of the double compensation. The opinion of the attorney general will prevent the abuse of the pension law in the future
 In justice Co the Meriden pensioner II must be said that he was not re- sponsible for the situation which read into the law a latitude that was never contemplated by the legislature when it enacted the statute on which the pension system is predicated. To say the least an employe who would exact from the state compensation for tenn porary work while in the receipt of a pension did not show gratitude for the beneficance of the state in giv- ing him a generous pension after, in some instances, a comparatively short period of service to the state. ltI would not be entirely unreasonable to think that the pensioned empioye would be glad of the opportunity to show his appreciation of the kindness of the state in providing against the years of his ineapacity to earn money. The state has been generous in pro viding the pension system. This should be met with dis position that would not be suggestive of selfishness. The employees of the state should be careful not to tempt the state to repeal the pension law or to materially modify it to their disad- vantage. IL would be regrettable if the pension law met the same fate as the civil service law of 1913, which had for it's object. among other pur- poses. to secure employees m theirI positions, when t was repealed.
