creased profits from the life-blood of

The man who advocates the cultiva-
ton of the drink habit among boys adj
vocates for the future all the long list
of attendant evils. He advocates
crime, and brutality and all the phases
of human misery, that come from in
temperance. Such men conspire not
only against the boys, but even more
brutally against the girls who will
some day marry them. against the
children who will be born to them
against society itself. There is no
place for men like these in civilized
communities, and especially among the
sovereign people of great republic
where the quality of citizenship de-
termines the quality of government.

The special reason for the nomina-

eliminate the necessity of a change Of

af" Thanksgiving and Prayers. 81

President Mckinley has issued his first
Thanksgiving proclamation, as follows:
I'm remembrance of Gods goodness to
us during the past year. which has been
SO abundant. let us offer unto Him our
thanksgiving and pay our vows unto the
Most High Under His watchfW prOvi-
dence industry has prospered. the condi-
lions of labor have been improved. the
rewards Of the husbandman have been
increased and the comforts of our homes
multiplied. His mighty hand has pre-
served peace and protected the nation.
Respect for law and order have been
strengthened. love of free institutions
cherished. and all sections of our beloved
country brought into closer bonds of fra
ternal regard and generous cooperation.
For these great benefits it is our duty
to praise the Lord in spirit of humility
and gratitude and to offer up to Him our
most earnest supplications. That we may
acknowledge our obligations as a people
to Him who has SO graciOuSly granted us
the blessings of free government and
material prosperity, l, william Mckinley,
President of the United States, do hereby
designate and set apart Thursday, the
25th day of November. for national
thanksgiving and prayer. which all of the
people are invited to observe with apprO-
pirate religious services in their respect
i've places of worship. On this day of re-
joicing and domestic reunion let our
prayers ascend to the Oliver of every good
and perfect gift for the continuance of
His love and favor to us, that our hearts
may be filled with charity and good will
and that we may be ever worthy of His
beneficent concern. In witness whereof.
l have hereunto set my hand and caused
the seal of the United States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington, this

Lord one thousand, eight hundred and

Guard the Boys.

Col. JIG. Woolley, in his speech at
the Neal Dow banquet in Boston, quotes
the following address of the presiding
officer of the Ohio Liquor League, at
it's annual meeting:
1.-THE success of our business is de-
appetite for drink.
Men who drink liquor like others,
will lie, and if there is no new appetite
created our counters will be empty, as
will be our Golfers. Our children will
go hungry, or we must change our
business to some other more remunera-
tive.
1.-The open field for the creation of this
appetite is among the boys. After men
have grown and their habits are
formed, they rarely ever change in
this regard. 1t will be needful, there
fore, that missionary work be done
among the boys, and I make the sug-
gestion. gentlemen, that nickles ex-
pended in treats to the boys now will
return in dollars to your tills after the
appetite has been formed.
above all things, create appetite"
1t is difficult to conceive of such an
Infamous and brutal proposition hav-
ing been publicly made by any man in
this country. 1t would certainly seem
that if anyone were lacking enough in
all the elements of civilization, to wish
to engage in such an inhuman con-
spiracy against childhood and youth he
would at least be sufficiently discreet
to keep the fact to himself.
1t seems incredible, that in this day
and generation, any man could be
found dispicable enough to stand up in
any gathering of American citizens
however low and coarse, and brutal
they might be-and advocate the ex-
penditure of money to cultivate the
drink habit among the growing boys of
our country. No punishment could
possibly be too severe for any man who
would be guilty of such an act
We are glad to believe that there are
few men in this country-even among
those addicted to strong drink-cruel
Indeed men who are slaves of appetite
themselves, rarely sink so low that
they do not hope and pray for better
things for their children.
1t is the law of nature. the guiding
star of progressive civilization, and
in it are embodied all hopes of the fu-
ture. While taking all proper methods
to protect itself against those who in
wade the rights, and seek to prey upon

way. It's growing boys and girls.

teeth the cigar he had been smoking

Mrs. Dodge, the Lewiston police ma
iron. as result of her, experience and
observation, believes there are young
girls and boys at the city farm. and in
the families of people who are assisted
by the city who would be much better
off in an industrial school if the city
could support one on the outskirts of
the town." She believes that such n
school could be partly self-supporting.
The boys could be given good educa-
ton. polished morally and mentally.
and taught a trade bywhich they could
in after years earn a living. She says,
AT the city farm they are we'll cared
for. but they learn much that is wicked
and wrong. And in the home of the
drunkard and the shiftless they are
poorly brought UP. With the expendi-
ture of some money upon such an in
stitution for children the expense Of
the poor department would be much
less.
But Mrs. Dodge does not think that
work along this line of practical reform
should stop here. She believes that
the expense of such an institution a
work house should, in the minds Of
many who have had experience, be es-
tablished by the city. Here the city
should have factory of some kind,
and idle, shiftless parents who will not
take care of their children should be
sent for long terms and made to pay
more than their support. In some
countries such Institutions are made to
pay. The women should be put at
sewing and making clothes for the
city, and the city should run it all like
great family household, making the
shiftless parents pay for the support,
education and development of their
little ones. If the whole thing was put
into the hands of a commission Mrs.
Dodge believes it would pay.
Mrs. Dodge is of the opinion that
such an institution could be made an
education for women and. young girls
who have gone wrong. She says:
Our women say to me: Why
don't you arrest these young girls and
send them where they will be taken
care OFF
Where can l send them but to the
county Jail? Do you think the county
Jail has a healthy moral influence
about it? A woman who is sent there
for thirty days might better be in her
grave. l have never seen one come out
from it with a CLEAN of hope in her
face, with CLEAN of resolution. II
they were sent to reformatory in
some beautiful spot in the country
where Christian women-of all relig
ious denominations. perhaps. were en-
ployed as instructors and masters, and
given a course in moral and Industrial
education, who knows what good
might come of it?'
The suggestions of Mrs. Dodge are
timely and practical. Society is coming
more and more to appreciate the fact
that it is cheaper. and infinitely bet
ter, to prevent crime than to punish it,
and the establishment, even upon a
modest scale, of such worthy institu-
tons as are advocated by Mrs. Dodge
would be good Investment for any
city financially as we'll as morally.

This has been a very bad fall for
rainy day jobs. Early in September a
Dover man, who is at work on a build
ing, promised to put down a carpet the
first rainy day. After a week or two
the weather looked so favorable that
another man was secured to put the
carpet down and up to this date there
has been but one day SO stormy that
the crew could not work on the build
ing at least part of the day.
