To journal Patrons.

This is the season of the year when
many newspaper subscriptions expire,
and most of the renewals received at this
office have contained some message com
plimentary to the paper. While the re-
newal is of itself an evidence that the
Journal is appreciated and that its efforts
to please its readers have not been in vain,
the further tributes from it's subscribers
are highly appreciated. Certainly no eff
fort has been spared on our part to fur
nish clean newspaper, one that should
commend itself to all good citizens and
merit a place in every home. No educa-
tional or moral movement, no local indus
try OF enterprise has been knowingly neg
lected. The aim of the paper has been,
and will continue to be, to promote the
best interests of the city and section in
which it is published. During the past
wear the journal has been enlarged-in-
Volving the purchase of new machinery
and the amount of reading matter consid-
erably increased, the subscription and adj
vertsine rates remaining unchanged. The
running expenses are naturally much larg-
er. the paper bills alone being some 40 per
cent more. but we looked for an increased
patronage for the new paper and have not
been disappointed, There has been a
steady increase in the subscription list
since the beginning of the year, while the
advertising columns speak for themselves.
The excellence of the journal as an adj
vertising medium is generally admitted at
home and abroad The change in the
form of the paper was mainly to please
our advertisers, and special pains is taken
in the up to give due prominence
to all business announcements The re-
suit has been most satisfactory to our pat
rons, as many of them have voluntarily
testified, and no efforts will be spared in
the future to furnish practical proof that

Capt. Isaac Lanpher late of Stockton
Springs, born April 10, 1922, passed on to
life immortal Oct, p, aged 80 years and
months. BY this event a most loving home
has been deeply bereft, a devoted family has
been greatly afflicted, the immediate neigh
borhood sadly stricken, and the town has
sustained great loss. In early life he be-
gan to follow the sea, serving in all its varied
capacities, thereby making him a most thor
ough and skilful shipmaster, and through
his own merits at the age of twenty he took
command of the schooner Boston, and from
thai time forward his future was
marked with success. He commanded in
his forty-one years of ocean life fourteen
sailing vessels, fir IN schooners to ships, in
which he made excellent records. The last
twenty years was confined principally to
foreign voyages to Australia and China
Some eight years ago he retired from sea on
receiving the sad tidings of his sons death,
Capt. Edgar Lanpher, whom he expected to
meet on his arrival at Sy dney, as he was at
the time lying at the port of Adelaide, Aus
tralia, in the ship Elmiranda. By nature he
genial, cordial and sympathetic, all
feeling sure of a hearty greeting at his
pleasant home. In every relation he was
exemplary beloved of kindred and respect
ed by all. As member of society he wa
public spirited, and aided by his influence
everything that was enlightening and up
lifting. None ever sought his help in de
serving need, OF his sympathy in trial, OF
his counsel in perple Kitty, and sought in
vain. During the last five months of his
sickness he was a great sufferer, but patient
ly bore the cross of pain, and waited for
death, not with fear and trembling, but in
Joy and peace. The faith which he had cher
iShed sustained him i'll the hour of trial, and
made the future bright and cheerful to his
view. He had desire to depart and enter
upon the new life. God was to him a heav-
emily Father, the future heavenly home.
In his immediate family he leaves wife,
two daughters. one son and one grandchild,
Mr.. Henry S. Lanpher, of New York: Mrs.
Oscar Eaton and son, Master Willie McCiI-
very, of East Boston, and Mrs. j. W. Man
son, of Pittsteld, Me. As husband and faith
CT there was tenderness and love, which
made life full of sunshine for those to whom
he was thus related, and the Golden Rule
was the basis of his conduct towards all.
May they be cCmforted by the thought that
on the shining shore to which we are all
journeying, these severed friendships will
be united where partings are never known.

Vests OF snakeskfn are popular in some
parts OF the South, and for decorative
purposes other than for wearing apparel.
| the snakeskin is gaining in favor in New
York. In the leather shops one may see
any number of pocket books, card cases,
portfolios, dressing cases, whip handles
and bookbindings of this unique material.
In parts of South America lover cannot
make more acceptable gift to the

but their chief charm to the Wearer lies in
the fact that the bold suitor himself
killed the snake for those particular
shoes.
In all of the large novelty shops in the
West Indies may be seen belts, girdles,
and even vests made of rattlesnake skin.

a fashion that may be a little slow in

would fill the bill perfectly, besides lend

too conventional attire. OF course it
would cause some CONSERVATION at first
but we should soon get used to it. 1t is
certainly as suitable for a necktie ash for
the adornment Of a hat-a fashion so
much in vogue last season. The chief
charm of the snake for this purpose is its
adaptabiity to the latest thing in knots,

THE ITALIAN MAFIA
Recognized With Apprehension by the
Italian Government.

Recognized With Apprehension by the
Italian Government.
The Italian Malta of to-day is not a
complex organization with constitution,
ordinances and bylaws, but a commu-
nifty of sentiment striving TO preserve The
feudal institution of personal vengeance
and warning against State interference
with individual license. There are, how
ever, within this great solidarity of male
factors numerous bands of criminals
having formal organization and special
helds OF action, as brigands, cattle
thieves, contrabandists, intimidatorS and
eXtortloners, in family or personal
groups, such as the Posa, F'ratuzzi, Amo-
roso, Stoppaglieri, Fratellanza, Cosca,
Mala Vita and CarcioIo. All these socie-
ties have their officers, rules, oaths and
penalties, or usually but one penalty
death.
A direct outgrowth of feudalism, the
Mafia originated in Florence and Genoa
at a time when the retainers OF the later
medieval mobiles lounged about the now
deserted palaces waiting for the bidding
OF their masters to carry out some new
ASSASSINATION IN the constant campaign of
private vengeance. Unlike nihiism, the
Mania is not strictly secret society; it is
non-polltical and is the development and
perfection OF a supreme power directed to
every kind of evil; it is the instructive
solidarity, brutal and selfish, that unites
to the injury of the State, Of laws and
OF organized society-au individuals that
desire TO obtain their living, not by
labor, but by violence, trickery and in
timidation
In every part of Italy it is undoubtedly
power Of malignant activity, which in
these days of unrest and anarchy is
rapidly extending its nefarious infiu-
ences. The difference between the rich
and the poor Mafiosa is merely one of de-
gree. The wealthy proprietor becomes
an ally either to carry on a hereditary
teud, to make himself a beneficiary of
past crimes, or merely to crafty desire
for power. If he is not in voluntary
sympathy with the offenders, he is con-
strained TO lend himself directly or indi-
rectly to their schemes. Otherwise, q
gunshot, general slaughter of his cattle,
tlre that consumes his harvest, threat
ening letter or sequestration of his per
son, reminds him that, while the law has
many formalities and delays, the action
OF the Matia is summary. lie rarely
heSltates longer as to where he shall at
tach his interests; ii he does, his own life
pays for the delay. 1t happens thus that
family may be obliged to witness the
murder OF relative and remain silent
rather than incur the further action of the
Mana, as they would do by having re-
course to the criminal courts.
That the strength and influence of the
Malta Is recognized with apprehension by
the Italian Government is undeniable,
and facts revealed at the recent trials at
Bari and New Orleans tend to confirm
the opinion that it is now closely allied
with the anarchistic movement. Not
withstanding the efforts of the Italian DO
lice, its power is rapidly increasing, and
It's attitude toward both Government and
society Is certainly the reverse of reas-
suring. Journal.
