Several so called evangelists have been
meeting in Boston and expatiating on the
alleged wickedncss they found in Maine.
There Is nothing to show that their evan
gelioal work in Maine bore any good fruit
and we suspect this is what ails them.
Some people assume to have been called
by the Lord and have no patience with
people who disagree with the assumption.
These wild allegations from Boston look
like bad case of spleen.

Eliminate Him by all Means.

1t is gratifying to note that the State
league Of wheelmen arc to assist the Ken
nebunk wheelman who says he was run
down by q team when he was on the ex-
tremc right of the highway. If the allie
cation be correct the driver Of that team
and those Of similar disposition who may
chance to drive teams in the future, will
be likely to learn lesson. If it isn't cor
rect the league will learn to withhold its
support until 1t has fully investigated the
merits of case. In either event the re-
suit can but be beneficial. Every person
who has had experience on the wheel has
come in contact with those people who so
delight in the sense Of commanding SUI
perior force that they apparently cannot
withstand the temptation to use it. Those
riding with team realize that so far as
a question of force is concerned they can
take the whole road, and some do So In
antipathy ON the part of the person in
the team toward the person on the bicy-
Gle. Whether this antipathy arises from
telepathy between the horse, jealous of the
new tangled method of locomotion on the
Obi kc," and the person driving the ami
NAL, cannot be determined by any meta
physical apparatus known. 1t is hardly
necessary, however, to exlore this laby
rinth of research. Common experience
with that genus homo known in rugged
Anglo Saxon as "a hog" will suffice. In
deed this term aptly describes the person.
who driving team upon the highway
does not take into consideration the well
known fact that the person riding a
wheel is entitled by law, courtesy and
common decency to his share of the road
way.
1t would not be just however, to imply
that this disagreeablo class of human
beings is confined to those who ride in
vehicles drawn by horses, mules or goats
to the exclusion of those who ride upon
the wheel. On the contrary the human
hog abounds among those who bestride
the bikes. They in turn are carried away
with the sense of their superior impor-
lance over the humber individuals ON
foot They even take delight in frighten-
ing the latter by running upon them un
awares on the sidewalks and ii perchance
they knock one or two down experience
has taught them that they usually get off
easily. often enjoying the discontinue,
not to say impotent rage of the pedestrian.
Pedestrians are not organized rs class
but in superiority of numbers are likely
for some time to surpass the wheelmen.
1t is more difficult for them to cooperate
than for the latter but organization for
self defense is possible even with them.
There are complaints from one or two
places in the State that these injured per
sons take the matter into their own
hands and seek private revenge by dis.
tributing tacks upon the pathway of the
wheelmen. This course of procedure is
| obsolete, barbaric. 1t is an Indian S
| sense Of justice, that is satisfied to punish
one individual for the misdeeds of anoth.
er. In short the solution of this problem
may after all consist in the elimination
OF the human hog from society. Let us
hope so.
