DRUMMERs AS EDUCATORS.

The uncalled. for aspersion attempted
to be cast upon the profession of COM
mercial travellers, more commonly
known as drummers, by Alliance Con-
gresham Otis Of Kansas, prompted
Congressman Norton of Missouri to say
a word in the drummers favor. Ills
estimate is that 1.-THE most active agent
in moulding public sentiment is the
drummer" and we are inclined to think
he is more than half right. This alert,
active, peripatetic agent of modern CIVIL
izafion is at least good second TO the
newspaper in the work of informing the
mind and shaflng the thought of the
people. The drummer IS peculiarly
adapted to this work and he does 1t the
more effectively because he does 1t incl
IDENTIFY and without effort.
The politician who addresses the gaping
crowd, be he ever so eloquent, arouses
sort of combative instinct, because he IS
suspected of talking for place, or at least
appears as an advocate The people feel
that they must take his utteranceS like
LiOoS Oh I6eu law yer CCiO1C a jAAy
with a grain of allowance.
The drummer is a bright, keen-wltted
and observant man of the world and he
wins the confidence Of the people with
whom he comes in contact. He gathers
information and opinions on all matters
aud from ali sources and sows them
broadcast. His own views may not
have great weight but he knows the
drift of public opinion and the best
thought OF the country on matters of
current interest. He takes the heart OF
the CITY. the centers Of all the industrial.
social and political activities, and carries
them out into the crossroads and the
villages. He kodaks the world on the
fly and carries the photo in his grip.
Whether the subject be man, woman or
horse. religion or politics, business or
pleasure, he is posted.
Unconciously and without effort, the
drummer helps to keep the people
abreast of the times. TO supply them
with food for thought and mold their
thought into form and final Judgment.
If for no other reason. the drummer
ought to be preserved as All institution
of learning-a rotary public school and
travelling library OF useful knowledge.

the Democracy in knocking soap and

influenced by economy, but antipathy

1T WAS A PRETTY SIGHT.
Many Visiting Yachts at Anchor in the
HarbOr.


The harbor,, off the Portland Yacht
Club house, presented very pretty ap-
pearance last evening. With the home
squadron and the visiting yachts there
were nearly thirty of the graceful craft,
representing the pleasureIand recreation
navy of the country. The squadron OF
the South Boston yacht fleet arrived in
the early evening, IL vessels in all. They
left Kittery in the morning, with light
wind, but after beating out past the
Whaleback and getting off Boon Island
they had the luck to strike good south
west breeze over the quarter and were
able to rig out their spinaker booms and
carry all their kites. They had fine
run down the Maine coast scarcely hav-
ing to start sheet until they reached
Cape Elizabeth.
The first yacht to arrive was the sloop
Violet, an old Hernske]l boat built in
1864, but still able, and speedy. She is
commanded by Captain II. f. Mckee.
