ne glarl1lgIy oOclalIstlc passages from "Progress and Poverty and from "Social Problems, pointed out by Pentecost, will hardly serve to strengthen the ties of friendship between master and pupil. Written while the ambitious prophet could not prophecy his ever having to shake off what little common sense he had stumbled upon during superficial reading, these passages have, ever since the memorable Syracuse con- ventIon, been an eye-sore to the father of the slngle-tax "democracy.' There is no telling what he would not give for having them stricken out of every copy of his books on the face of the earth. However, while Mir. Pentecost is entitled to an immense deal of credit for present. ing to MT. Henry George of to-day the Socialism of Henry George of the pre-Syracuse period, the pains he takes to obliterate the line be- tween individual and social effort are futile. In the first place, it is wrong to speak of "the Croasdale line, since in making the distinction between the State and the individ- ual, the acting editor of the Standard merely mimics the words of his employer repeatedly published in that paper in lodging the corner ing questions of some Socialist. But drop Croasdale. Mir. Henry George knows better than to sin cerely believe in such Zines" The author of the quotations published by Pentecost will not confound effort, which IS the battle for exist ence, with the enjoyment of the fruits of our fight. Social produc- ton, with unrestrained individual enjoyment, is the spirit of the quo tation. C.

representation that makes you pause

Living on the borders OF Arizona

past, have had a good opportunity TO
see many things that most transient
people would pass by unnoticed. The

worn at evening balls. and no lady
thinks herself recherche and in posi-
lively good form unless she has her
novel crown on. The hair is matted
and twisted and coiled all around in 1t,
and 1t may be depended on that 1t can
not come loose and come tumbling

Coffee ice made OF strong coffee frozen

In this most important feature OF the
breakfast-table. An expert In coffee
maintains that the best coffee is made
In the old-fashioned tin coffee-pot.
Don't give me any new patent ar

"the old tin-pot Is the only kind Of
cooking utensil that preserves the
aroma and the full flavor OF the
coffee"
After the coffee has been boiled and

cup half filled with cream and hot
milk. Most true coffee epicures have

although there are rumors OF de-

from Brazil has been especially large
this year.
An odd feature In the coffee trade is
the difference between European and
American taste. People Of Europe de-
mand the coffee from Central America
and the West Indies, while Americans
have a decided preference for Java
coffee. According to American taste
the best cup OF coffee is Java mixed

The Common School system.

No department of an American common
wealth needs more Jealous attention than
the common school system; and yet few are
the departments that are more likely to be
neglected. A legislature will often spend
days debating resolve relating to a State
college, an institution that concerns directly
small portion of the people of State, and
pass with indifference and haste often other
measures affecting the common school sys-
TEN, which concerns every family in the
commonwealth and future generations as
well as the present. 1t is very easy for a
commonwealth to get behind the times in its
common school system, while it is at the
same time making brilliant record with its
institutions of higher education, as it is
sometimes very easy for men to be careless
IN tne more common virtues while they shine
IN tne possession of ostentatious traits of
goodness. We have in one of the New Eng
ianu states an ILLUSTRATION and warning
upon TINS point. With Yale College, its SCI
entiic schools and its other institutions of
higher education, the State of :. Connecticut

has since the foundation of the government
enjoyed an enviable reputation for culture,
OF the many as well as of the few. Its COM
mon school system was founded in the old
Colonial days. when common schools receiv-
ed such attention as they never received be-
fore, and such as is rarely surpassed in these
days. The system started all right, and
Connecticut people seem to have believed
that therefore it would continue all right
when the secretary of education insisted not
long ago that the schools were behind the
times. he was not believed at first. But
after time the board of education determin-
ed to investigate. taking New London county
first, as representative one in many res
poets, especially in the distribution of popu-
lation and diversity of pursuits. The results
have been unpleasantly surprising. The
board finds that two-fifths of the children in
the schools cannot write, although in most
cases they have been in school over three
years. As an instance of the illiteracy they
found that OF 1,S0G children under similar
conditions only one-half could spell the word
(which" and two hundred could not spell
the name Of the town in which they lived.
In one school simple case in addition was
given to twelve children ranging from 10 to
16 years Of age, and only one gave correct
answer. The board finds that In most cases
the teachers are entirely incompetent, and

SHABBY TREATMENT OF MAINE ARcHITEfss
Harrington Chronicle.l
Nobody can blame the Maine architects for
being indignant at the shabby treatment
they received at the hands Of the capitol
commission. There are just as good archi-
tects In Portland, Lewiston, Gardiner and
other places as in Boston, and they only
asked for the privilege of competing for the
plans for the proposed extension of the capt.
toll at Augusta. But without deigning to re-
ply, 1t is said the job was given ito Boston
firm, who appeared at the hearing OF the cap
ital removal question last winter and spoke
in favor Of rem0deling the old building.
Economy was the cry last winter, gentlemen.
Are yon beginning in accordance with that
cry? 1t may not be so easy to obtain an adj
dition to the $4,000 appropriated. for the
farmers, who must pay the taxes, will not
sanction any lavish use of their hard earned
money.
WHAT THE PRESIDENT Is THERE FOR.
Philadelphia North Americana
The President is by position the busiest
business man in the United States. His
time is not his own. Every hour of the
working day is fully employed. He has nc
| time for details, or If he give time to details
he must either rob himself of needed rest OF
neglect the duties of his great office. 1t is a
mistake to suppose that the President is to
be at the beck, call and caprice of the entire
body polite by individuals. He is elected to
manage public business, and not to admin
lister the affairs of individuals 1t will have
to come to this at last, and now is a good
time to end this ludicrous assembling Of
place-hunters every four years. When we
hear that the President CONCENTRATES days
outing in order to get rid Of the strain, we
all understand that it is not the strain of
legitimate business that he wants to avoid
The actual strain is great, Of course, but 1t Is
not a breaking strain. 1t is the annoyance
outside of the proper business of the Office
that kills. The business men Of the Admin.
istration can put an end to this at any time.
| No citizen is privileged to do anything to
| delay the regular course of business in any

The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1889-04-19

A large number of prominent citizens of
Massachusetts, have issued an address to the
people of that State urging them to vote in
favor of the prohibitory amendment. Such
men as George F. Hoar, John d. Long, Will
liam Clafiin, John g. Whittier, Robert Treat
Paine, and Julius II. Seelye sign the adj
dress. Among other things said is this:
II is not question whether the time is ripe for
this issue. for the issue itself is upon us; We
cannot, therefore, be blind TO the fact that the de-
feat Of the amendment viii be regard as a tri-
umph for the liquor power, and as a sanction of
the commonwealth OF its traffic and its dangers.
This description of the construction that
will be put upon the defeat of the amend
ment is unfortunately true. Notwithstand-
ing the fact that great many men who have
no sympathy with the liquor traffic will vote
against the amendment, their votes will be
construed in the way the address says, and
II the amendment is defeated it will be said
that the majority Of the people of the State
nave pronounced against prohibition. Con-
sequently for many years the Legislature
will be restrained from passing prohibitorv
law, LOT when measure Of that kind is in
PRODUCED the vote on the constitutional
amendment will be cited as proof positive
that the majority OF the people are against
such system, and will constitute an argu.
ment which it will be impossible to over
throw. While admitting the zeal and good
intentions of the men who forced this issue
upon the people Of Massachusetts at this
time, we question their discretion. If the
amendment is defeated, and there is great
danger that 1t will be, they will have put into
the hands of the enemies of prohibition a
most effective weapon. namely, declara-
uon Oh the people against that method of
suppressing the liquor traffic. or course IL
they win they will have compelled the enact
ment OF prohibitory law, but were the
chances Of winning so good as 10 make Il
wise to run the risk that defeat involves

would seem certainly that the wisdom O
forcing the issue at the present time wa
