serts (of course question the correctness
OF his ststistics) that there are over four
hundred open saloons in the city, about
thirty-fve to each one of our twelve day

fact that they must look out and enforce

The Spanish minister's criticism of

CURRENT COMMENT.
MAYOR BAXTER'S ADDRESS.
(Bath Times.)

Mayor Baxter's frank treatment of the
liquor question in his inaugural address
is refreshing. 1t is also encouraging.
For light is what we need on this sub
ject. While SO many people are in the
dark they can be fooled, but they can't
be kept IN the dark all the time, and they
can't be fooled all the tine. Although
it is impossible to act on Mayor Baxter 4
suggestion in favor of modification of
the Norwegian sysstm of control, be-
cause of the constitutional amendment,
it is nevertheless, hopeful of future prog
ress to have the mayor of the chief city OF
the State face the problem squarely and
fairly and suggest the character of legis-
lation that is needed.

AN ABORTIVE TARIFF.
(Springfield Union.l

(OprlnguelQ Union.
No better argument against the farci-
cal theories of the Wilson tariff bill could
be advanced than is to be found right
here in New England. 1t is almost I'M
possible to tell all the damage this abor-
tive tariff measure has done, but a few
figures will be interesting. 1t has ad-
yersely affected thirty-two wooden mills,
mpelling fourteen of item to shut
down, putting ten on quarter, five on
eighth and one on half time, besides prac-
tically closing two more. Seventy five
hundred employees are practically idle and
the loss in wages annually is over SO, 800,
600. To this add, say So, 00, 900, the total
loss in native raw material and you can
get an idea of how much We owe Wilson,
German and the rest of our free trade leg
islators. If New England wants that
sort OF thing she can get it by voting
the Democratic ticket in November.
And yet the Democratic press is calling
attention to the Strengthened condition
ofthe treasury and seeking to throw the
blame OH the Republican party.

that we trust he has frankly abandoned

The Pros. a. an Kduontor.

The press should and does lead the
people, and no one will doubt that our
great success as q nAtlon-our intslli-
gencs IS citizens and power to govern
Oursslvss-has been derived more from
this sourcs than any other The news
paper is the peoples educator. 1t enters
the innermost confines OF the family
where the preacher cannot attain foot
hold. 1t speaks to the people at al times
and In all placer, aud. as q result, It's In
huence for good or evil is the greatest Of
any educator The preacher and the pub
, lie schools are It's aids, but II Is the chief
leader Of public opinion and educator Of
the people.
The power Of the press for evil has
never been exeriei to any very great
extent in this country and never will be
as long as majority Of the people rs-
main true to the principles Of morality
which have for years bssn inculcated By
our newspapers. Yet, while this ts true,
there are some journals that asaums an
authority which they do not possess.
These at present are engaged In Prssi-
dent making and they are not succes ed
Ing TO any great extent With It. There
probably was never a political situation
similar TO the present one and In their
capacity as educators the press can very
properly do much to assist ths people
and for this they should be commended.
There is however, = class Of news
papers Of large circulation that have
taken upon itself dictAtorial power.
This ls not wanted nor will It be sub
mitted to. To give the people informa
tlon, to educate them Is the acknow-
lodged Geld OF tbs newspaper, but 1t is
only In rare cases that 4 public journal
can make itself felt as a dictator. The
people prefer to make their own candi-
dAter, TO nominate and elect their own
Presidents, governors and members OF
Congress. They expect to be told all
about them In the newspapers and they
form their opinions largely from thil
source, but they will not submit any NOR.
10 an autocratic press than they will e
50 autocfatic government.
Editors Of newspapers sometimes for
get that ths press is maintained By tb,
people and when they do make grea
mistake. for unless supported by tn,
people. no newspaper can be Of mucl
value. Then again. the fact Of this sup
port prevents any evil tendsRcT of

This Is why the power OF the press 70

always be relied upoa to teach moralit

fence. There is nothing dictatorlAl in
such = policy as this.
The country Is divided into political
and socIalistic parties and to take sides
In the views Of these, according to ones
conscience, Is the duty Of editors as well
as their pleasure. No sensible person
objects to this, for we cannot sll think
alike. Nor do We believe 1t is best that
we should. Some Of the most pronounced
Christians Of the present day have come
30 the conclusion that oFsn In matters
Of religious belief the world is benefited
By differences of opinion. Be this as II
may, there Ia no doubt that as an edu

those who control 1t should never forget
