Mansfield emocrat-Journal Let
the voter be able to read and write or
own sufficient amount of property 10
prompt him to investigate the issues
involved III the election pending. We
are aware of the fact that there are
some good white men who are litter
ate, but most of them own property.
On the other hand, many equally as
good are educated, but do not own
property. Such law would urge pa
rents to educate their children and
stimulate the latter to becnme prop
erty owners. BY this means the State
would be benefited twofold. Ali boys
desire to vote. Some want to be ell
ncated, others prefer to own property.
An educational and property quallti-
cation would prompt them to acquire
the one or the other or both, and gen.
erations to come would be prepared
for good citizenship.

Plaquemines Protector: The State
obtains a mere pittance from Mr..
James for the exercise of a privilege
which is contrary 10 every pinciple of
a democratic government and of the
greatest injury to the laboring class
whom it is made the first duty of the
government to protect their rights.
The penitentiary lease system was
conceived in lniquity. 1t Is infamous
and palpably unjust to those who must
earn their bread by the sweat of their
brow. 1t is undemocratic and inhu-
man. 1t is relic of barbarism; it
originated in the dark days of Repub-
iican misruie (lS6Sl, and should not
be tolerated by Democratic admin
iStration.

Mr.. Loggie who established a blue
berry canning business here last year
with such marked success, was in town
last week endcavoring to make arrange
ments to continue the business this year.
He proposes to erect a building ooXfo'
two stories high, and is negotiating with
the G. T. Ry. Co. for land on which to
erect it. He went to Montreal on this
errand after his visit here. If successful
he may erect the building near the loca-
ton OF the shirt factory. We want more
daughters, and we want Board OF
trade. We have shown our capability the
past few months of supplying the former,
and we presume willcontinue to do so, but
as to the latter our business men manifest
a marked apathy that surprises us to
say the least. Get move onyou gentle
men.

\ trade organization is absolutely ne.
cessary to the best development OF every
city, town or village in the New Eng
land States. 1t builds up the smaller
centres and preserves them i'll their ma.
turity An individual naturally becomes
attached to the field of his operations
and is ever vigilant for opportunities to
boom his town and enhance its growth
and prosperity. But individually his in.
fuence is comparatively small In an
organized body, on the other hand, this
influence is strengthened and becomes
very often all-powerful. The ways, hows
and whercforcs are obvious. Consider
the records of our great New England
cities. They were all small once, and to
their boards of trade, citizens associa-
tions, commercial clubs or other trade
associations, they are heavily indebted
tor the positions which they have at
tanned. 1t takes time to build cities, but
when once established they become for
ever source of pride and of boundless
value to the citizens. But if each man
holds back and imagincs that his col
league is going to step forth and take
the laboring oar, just so sure will the
craft eventually run aground. 1t seems
to us that it should not be necessary to
appraise the worHd-renowned "hustlers"
of New England that by their inaction
they are running the risk of killing the
goose that lays the golden eggs.

Miss Mcfarland. who began teaching
in the Roby district on Monday, wishes
to thank the school authorities OF Norton
for the free use of the school room and
iircwood during the term of her private
school, and to the larcntS ot her pupils
for the good attendance OF their chldrcl
throughout the term. Also for the very
prompt, generous and practical manner
i'll which hey shared the expcrsc. This
speaks volumes for their active interest
in school work, and makes one feel, as
she observed, that teaching is pleasant
occupation in Norton. With one cxccp-
ton all speak approvintly of her work.
Quite a number OF young men are seen
about town taking short vacation pre-.

villages north of rs under like conditions

observer as walking in the middle of a
muddy road and bowling profoundly to
everything real or imaginary. There is
