wants the legislature to see il some
changes can not be made in the present
law that shall afford the people an OPP

ment TO the legislature to do some NOR

tainly be productive Of more laundering
rather than of less. Our method of vot-
ing has been simplifad as far as is posi-
Bile under the present system. Ii mis-
takes occur under it it is because people
are careless or neglect to inform them

on the other hand will be in creased, in
asmuch as to carelessness will be added

THE Story Of
Puritana.

Prof. Dixi Crosby, N. D., Il. D..
who for thirty-two years was at the
head of Dartmouth Medical College,
belonged to the famous Crosby family
of physicians. which for several gener-
ations has furnished more distin-
guished medical men than any other
family in America. His father was
DR.. Asa Crosby, of Dartmouth, who
procured the charter OF the State
medical society, Of which he was for
thirty years a conspicuous member;
one brother, DR.. Josiah Crosby, in
vented the invalid bed and the method
of making extensions of fractured
limbs by adhesive strips; another
brother, DR.. Thos. R. Crosby, was
chief surgeon in Columbian College
Hospital during the war, and later
professor Of animal and vegetable
physiology at Dartmouth College;
while DR.. Dixi Crosby himself was
the inventor and discoverer of various
important improvements in medicine
and surgery, including a new and
unique mode of reducing metacarpo-
phalangeal dislooation, opening of alb
scess at hip-joint, etc., etc.
At the early age OF tWenGy-four his
extraordinary skill and success in over
coming disease had already attracted
the attention of medical men through
out the world, and won for him the
highest honors. His greatest achieve
ment was the discovery of an original
method for perfecting and compound
ing in permanent form what has be-
come known as his "prize formula"
and which, under the name Of Purl-
tana, is legally protected.
The foundation of this remarkable
medical discovery consists of simple
New England roots and herbs, and the
original family recipe for it has de-
scended to the long line Of Crosby
physicians from their Puritan ances-
tors. Its peculiar vegetable compost
ton rendered it necessary to brew it
whenever needed in the early days of
it's history, and after the scattering of
the Puritan families to remote locali-
ties. where the necessary ingredients
were not to be found, many attempts
were made to put it up in permanent
form, all of which failed until DR.. Dixi
Crosby discovered means and methods,
the result of which is: Natures Cure
compounded in the laboratory OF
Common Sense.

CURRENT COMMENT.
LET THE BALLOT LAW ALONE.
(Lewiston JouInal.)

We consider the governors suggestion
of changes in the machinery Of our secret
ballot as ill-advised: first, because 1T Is
always best to let well enough alon e;
secondly, because any changes would
again confuse voters who have now Ee-
come accustomed to the present admlfs-
Bile way of voting. Habit makes all
things easy. Give she voters of Maine
time enough to we'll establish the habit
of votiag as they do now, and we shall
hear no talk about the difficulties OF the
system; fewer invalid votes will be found
every year, and in a decade voters Will
forget there ever was any other way OF
doing it. On the other hand, if changes
are made, We shall lose the ground we w,
have gained aud all the more time will
be required to habiJuate voters to the
system, while they will have no assur-
ance that this years custom will be next

While Gov. Powers is opposed to allow
ing corporation that has obtained a
charter to do certain thing in town
or city to pursue the dog in-the-manger
policy of not doing 1t itself or allowing
any other corporation or individual to
do it, he would not, he says, advocate
interfering with or impairing vested
rights when the general public are re-
oeiving such services as they have right
to expect By which he means, we sup
pose, that corporations doing the kinds
CT business covered by the statute which
he is discussing should not be exposed to
competition as long as the general pub
Ito are receiving such services as they
have a right to expect. 1t is difficult to
see, however, why corporation or indi-
vidual doing the kinds Of business speci-
fed in this act. should be shielded from
composition any II De than anybody else.
A man or corporation who runs shoe
factory, or q cotton factory. or a woolen
mill, or any one of thousand and one
enterprises, is constantly exposed TO COM
petition. The legislature never grants
him the privilege OF driving out all conf
petitors. But this act which the govern
or is discussing gives to lot OF enter
prizes 70 more worthy of protection than
these the exclusive right TO Inonopolize
tho business Of a certain locality. NO
body can do tho same kinds of business
herein specified without first getting the
consent OF the persons or corporations
already In the field. If the business of
street lighting is to be protected from
all competition, why should not the bust
ness of making shoss, or manufacturer
wooleE or cotton goods, or publishing
newspapers also he protected? There
may be few enterprises which from
their nature must be given monopoly,
but in the case of such great care should
| be taken to guard the people against ex-
tortionate charges by them. But the cor
porations specified in the act referred to by
the governor have been not only granted
! q monopoly, but no provision at all has
been made to compel them to make their
| charges reasonable. If what the govern
or calls "vested rights are to be pro-
tcetsd under any circumstances, then
along with the protection should go some
provision that will make it impossible
for those ''vested rights" to take edyan-
| tage of the people.
