Likely to Be Ineffective Weekly Pay Law Drawn to Appeal
Antony New York July 29. The loosely drawn weekly payment law is not likely to become very effective. Attorney General Tabor doubts it, calling it a demagogic sop to workers. Factory Inspector Connolly and Assistant Franey face a flood of letters seeking guidance. They warn corporations about alleged evasion and fear legal action, though no state funding exists to enforce the law. Labor officials avoid it, while private factories and municipalities largely ignore it.

Robert Browning Essays and Thoughts reviewed
A harsh literary appraisal of Nettleship's 450 page Browning study. The review critiques the prose translation of Browning poems and the method of extracting “exegesis” from the verse, arguing art is divine and that turning poetry into prose diminishes its value. It mocks the selection, calls the work a perversion of taste, and condemns overzealous Browningites for diluting poetic nuance.

A Providence Journal column ponders whether socialist appeal stems from hope or despair, arguing that civilization cushions despair with hospitals and charities while noting many educated and working people endure hard labor without pursuing wealth. It cites cheerful, faithless workers as counterpoints to fervent socialism and questions life’s meaning under ceaseless toil. The piece ends with a local news note: the Leary raft passed Highland Light at 8 am in tow of the Haviland and Heiphausen.
