According to the report of the returning

In letter to the Portland Herald of this
week County Attorney Carleton, of Kenne-
bee. takes positive ground in favor of WHIP
ing out the town and city agency system In
this State and substituting for 1t something
like the Kansas system Of licensed druggists
Mr.. Carleton says:
Experience has demonstrated that the agency
system does not accomplish what it was designed
liquors might be obtained for medicinal. mechani-
cal and manufacturing purposes, and for these
purposes only. 50 far as my observation has
have been what might be termed "Open runner
ies'' where almost anybody could get all they
liquors wanted and In quantities to suit.
So long as any considerable proportion Of the
medical profession and community believe in the
way should be provided whereby it may be
obtained. Take my own town for instance. No
agency has existed in II for quarter of century
on whereabouts. A young child Is dangerously In
iured. A physician Of long practice, of most ex
cellent standing is called; he says he must have
gill of brandy at once TO save the child's lfe TIL
father PUSHES to the druggist; the druggist de
cllnes to furnish it, saying "f sell you this gil
OF brandy rake myself a criminal, commit
actually happened, and others much like it are
taking place every day In our state. The failure
TO properly provide for what the majority of oul
people consider absolutely necessary. has alien
ated and is still alternating many good people from
the support of our prohibitory laws.
This is directly In line with some obserYa-
tions Of the PRESS made at the time Mr..
Partridge made his famous address to the
Maine druggists. The truth Of Mr.. Garlic
toms charge that our agencies, or many of
them, are nothing but open rum holes can
notibe gainsaid. 1t does not follow that the
agents wilfully dispense liquors for i'm
proper purposes. The fact is that under the
present law they can hardly help doing so
They are commanded to sell for medicinal
and mechanical purposes. But in the vas
majority Of cases the only evidence that car
be had Of the use 1t is to be put to is thu
statement of the would-be purchaser. TT
allow the agencies to sell liquor with i'm
punity for all sorts of purposes-for that 1:
what they really do-and at the same time tt
send to jail for sixty days druggist who
has sold liquor In an emergency when there
was not the slightest doubt that 1t was to be
used for legitimate purposes, savors very
strongly of injustice, and 1t is the one con
dltion created by the prohibitory law o.
which there are good grounds for complain.

1t may be question whether the continen-
tai Sunday is SO likely to complete the con-
quest Of America as the American Sunday Is
to reform Europe. A railroad is to be built
in Switzerland on principles even more purl-
tanical than prevail in New England. In a
certain province 1t seemed desirable to build
a railroad about fifteen miles long 1t was
hard to get the enterprise started, and finally
wealthy citizen of the canton stepped up
and offered to construct the road on one con-
dition, and that that traffic should cease alb
solutely on Sundays. This condition,-so
novel in Swltzerland,-w complied with
and the road will soon be In operation. The
innovation is creating not little interest

Co-operatIye EARNING.

Mr.. John w. Bookwalter, whose writings
upon agricultural topics have been before
the public for some time, is trying novel
and interesting experiment in Pawnee
county, Nebraska. 1t is Mr.. Bookwalter's
theory that one half Of the toll and hard
ships of the farmers life might be obviated
by change In system. He believes that the
condition of isolation In which the farmer
lives causes unnecessary waste In the purely
economical processes of tilliDg the soil,
while in the no less important matters of
social life and enjoyments it paralyzes his
energies land dwarfs his intelligence He
speaks especially of the Western farmers,
who live scattered over the country, each on
his quarter section, and very remote from
villages. This condition is of less pro-
nounced nature in New England than the
West. But in those regions the isolation
must be very irksome. Mr.. Bookwalker has
obtained 1900 acres of land in Pawnee
county which he proposes to cut up into
farms Of eighty acres each. In the centre of
this tract he will put village Of 100 houses,
one house for each farm. He will thus have
a village Of 100 families, or from four to six
hundred souls. Mr.. Bookwalter expects to
uuu wv hihuo VA ttufdubdkCo III COllbCtlDE
thus families who would otherwise be scat
tered over many miles. They can do their
work at greater advantage and with greater
economy. An isolated farmer now has to
buy expensive farm machinery for which he
has use but small part Of the time. In a
village Of this sort, the community could
unite in doing certain kinds of work with
great saving in the cost of machinery. This
saving would extend not only to the outdoor
work, but to the indoor as well. The farm
ers could have the advantage of a village
bakery, an institution that is one of the
greatest aids to the housewives of New
England villages, but is entirely unknown
to the isolated farmers wives OF the West.
Then washing could be done for the whole
village much cheaper and easier than by
each family In detail Many other kinds Of
work common to all farm houses, like churn-
ing and caring for milk. could be done in
common. These are economical advantages.
iiseems to us that the other advantages out
weigh even the possible savings in cost of
machinery and labor. The village life would
give greater opportunities for improvement
a community Of six hundred persons could
maintain economically the best of schools, a
soou library, churches, and an elevating
SOCIAL influence. 1t is well enough to talk of
the virtues OF the country and the vices of
tne cities and villages; but the world over
the CUES and villages are the origInators ~

farmhouses may be the conseryators Ne.y-
