Travelig salesmen say they notice an increasing number of "Laborers Wanted" signs in factory districts and where new buildings are going up. In the steel industry wages of unskilled labor in some mills in "increasing. All of which indicates, it Is hoped, that the tide is turning in ^ie direction of "more jobs than men to fill them.'* It is good news that unskilled workmen are being better paid, for general prosperity has fe? Us fdundatiou the prosperity of unskilled labor. For yean the Legislature has appropriated several thousund dollars . for the State Fair society?-inctden tally, in flagrant violation of the constitution of the Slate. The item Iiul. neon repeatedly fought in committee and on the tloor o( lire house of representatives, but the Columbia influence which is ever alert to promote the interest of that city at the expense of the taxpayers of the State haB seen to it tnat the item stayed in the appropriation bill. This year 96,000 is set aside for. the society, provided no gambling is allowed in the fair grounds during fair week. It would therefore seem to be up to the comptroller general to ascerain whether this provision of the appropriation bill is complied with, and then, in the event that it is not, to refuse to honor the warrant for the money. Aside from the fact that the Legislature has neither legal nor moral right to hand over the taxpayers' money to the Fair society, there la nothing in the act appropriating the money requiring, the fair officials to make an accounting to the Legislature of how the money was spent. So~Iar as we huve heard there has been no dishonesty in connection with the use of the money In the ^ < past, but it is very eusy to imagimihat if a. set ot dishonest men were in charge of the finauciul affairs othc society, thoy could steul ever> cent of the appropriation and tin. legislature would be none the wiser.

All this should be borne inmhid by merchants in the small' cities as well as the larger ones- Women do the bulk of the trading for the family and they go to stores that advertise.
