WHEN the movement for the relief of the
unemployed poor was begun it was the in
tcntion to do something apart from the re
lief given by the town. At least the
DEMoCRAT took that view of the situation.
4 fair Was proposed by some, while others
thought that the most practical way to
meet distress was through the channel of
popular subscription. This plan would
afford the wealthy men of the town an
opportunity to do something for their less
fortunate neighbors without increasing the
burden of taxation. 1t was thought that
the committee appointed to devise ways
and means would report a plan on these
lines. At last nights meeting. however.
there seemed to be n disposition on the
part of most of those who engaged in the
discussion to shift the entire RESPONSE
bility upon the town. There was no I'M
loosing of private purse strings. The
meeting was a gigantic farce and those
present must have wondered what they
were there for. The action of the COM
mittee has practically killed all of the pro-
posed plans for providing for the extra
ordinary demands made by the unemployed
poor and it only remains for the selectmen
to meet the calls that will be made upon
them according to the provisions of the
statute. We believe that had the relief
committee. so called, adopted the popular
subscription plan. the DEMocRAr could
have raised a fund of S5,OO0-in n week.

pirate from time immemorial. France has

the accompaniment of kingcraft from the
