five years, they shall be referred to a
board of six members, to consist oil
three judges of our supreme our and
three judges of Great Britain.
Under this arrangement England
would only have to buy II OF our
judges to prevail in the controversy.
And when we remember the course of
that plutocratic tribunal, when the
other day it deprived the people of the
right, recognized for eighty years, TO
levy Il tax on the incomes of the rich,
we Il readily see that the whole three
judges would be tumbling over each
other to get ut the pounds, shillings
and pence.
Anglo-manlacs who turn up their
trousers in New York when it rains in
London, and the money power and its
daily papers will advocate such a
treaty, and it will probably become
law. And so the people will be shorn
of another attribute of liberty-the
right to enforce their rights by argu-
ments in the first lace, and by guns
and cannon in the second place. 1t
will be much simpler to buy up our
agents, trained in the school of els
Atlantic corruption, thar to meet TO-
600, 900 enraged people in arms; and
so England will button up her pockets
and grin with delight while she leads
this continental nation around by the
nose.
But the s~entimPntalists will roll up
their godly eyes to heaven and howl
for peace. AS if it is any worse to see
men killed on the battlefield, fighting
for their rights, Than to see them starve
to death, or driven to suicide, In the
midst of peace and plenty, without any
rights.
No man wants to fight forever, but
every man should reserve to himself
The right to fight like the devil when
ever the defense of his manhood de-
mands it. Peace is very pretty but
the people who have thought more of
peace than of honor have always be-
come the bond-slaves, the tributary
serfs, of those nations which were
ready to die for their opinions. The
~decadence of Il great IA is II more
terrible calamity than the tiercest war.

same year, in December, he attended
Christian Endeavor convention, and
was one of the famous figures at the
gathering. But these were his last ap-
pearances, and although he sent letters to
the PRESS from time to time after this,
it was evident that his powers were wan
ing, and that the burden of his years
was bearing him down.
General Dow could not help being a
rare figure in the life of Portland, and
he would have been remembered as such
had he died at the age of 80 years But
living as he did SO many years beyond
the usual allotted time of man, and
maintaining his activities as he did al
most to the very end of his days, he al
most seemed to becomessa part of the per-
petual and enduring life of the city. He
was horn when Thomas Jefferson was
President of the United States. Portland
was then hardly more than a country
village in the province of Maine. Its
population WINS not over 600o. The best
residences of the town were on India
street, and on Thames street, in the vicin-
ity of the site of tho Grand Trunk de-
pot. State street was then in the woods,
and On the northerly side of Congress
street, pasture land generally prevailed.
General Dow was born in one of the few
houses in the upper part of the town. Ii
is now the large square house, No. III

until recently he has been able to take his
accustomed drives, the last being when
he drove out to Falmouth at the time of
the railroad accident there. Then these
were given up and finally week ago
Saturday he was obliged to take to his
bed. His mind was still clear, however,
and only few days ago he called for the
paper and read a portion of it. His great
weakness made talking difficult, but the
little that he could say and the gestures
with which he made his meaning palmer
made it clear that he knew those about
him and that he was aware that the end
was approaching.
Once he said that he was weary and
WAS eager for the moment of his release.
Friday night he said to his nurse: 'This
is the end and it's all right" At another
time he referred to his funsrar and men
toned the names of several of the Port
land clergy whom he wished to be asked
to participate in the services. He also
indicated his desire that the arrangements
should be simple.
General Dow's death had been expected
hu III q WOCh OI luUT6 anu Odu-
urday forenoon that it became evident
that he had sunk into state of weakness
from which he could not rally. Early
in the afternoon he lost consciousness
and an hour later he passed away as
peacefully as sleeping infant.
= Quite number of messages of
coincidence from various parts of the
country have been received.
Had Neal Dow lived until the goth of
next March, he would have been "a years
of age. Ninety four years is great age
for any man to attain, and it seems
doubly great for man like Mr. Dow,
who was a vital, active force in the COM
munity from early manhood until his last
years. In 1927, at the age of 20 years,
here in the city of his birth, he made
his first temperance speech before the
members of the old Deluge Engine COM
pany. Sixty-six years later, on Munioy
Hill, under hot July sun, he addressed
large outdoor audience on the same
subject and with vigor which seemed
not at all impaired by the weight of 80
years. In all the years between these
two events, Neal Dow has been an active
force in the business and moral life of
this city and state, as we'll as in the
broader fields to which his influence ex-
tended. The speech of July 80. 1898, on
Munjoy Hill, was not his last public
speech by any means, although it was
his last important appearance in public
in this city. But in January, 1895, at
the age of 81, he appeared before the
Maine Legislature and urged with vigor
new amendments to the Maine law. The

General Neal Dow died at his residence
in this city at $50 Saturday afternoon.
The end of the life of the venerable re-
former was peaceful one and he re-
tanned consciousness until an hour be-
fore he died, recognizing his children
who were gathered at his bedside. Gen
eral BOWS death was due to the inflrmi-
ties of his great age. His vigorous body
was worn out and his strength has been
gradually failing for year or more, but

in which he died. The old house was
built in the year 1900 In 1869 it was re-
modelled and considerably enlarged, TAX
ing on its present form. The house in
which General Dow has lived in his lat
er years is of comparatively recent con-
struction.
General Dow was of English descent,
his family tracing their linsage from
John Dow, who resided in Norfolk coun-
ty, England, in 1851, and whose grand
son, Henry Dow, settled in Hampton
Falls, N. H., in 1887 General BOWS
father was Josiah Dow, and his mother,
Dorcas Allen, daughter of David Allen
of Falmouth. His christian name came
from his grandmother on his..father's
side, Hannah Neal. Both his father and
mother were Friends, az were all his an
cestors on both sides FOR three genera
tious.
Nearly all of his education was obtained
in the schools of Portland, as they were
in those days. He attended schools kept
by Elizabeth Hussey in the barn cham
Der fitted up. for school room, attached
to the Hacker house on the corner of
Congress and School, now Pearl street,
which was located on what is now the
northwest corner of Lincoln park; by
Phoebe Carleton, on the northwest cor
ner of Carleton and Congress streets; by
Mrs. Robert Douglass, on the northeast
corner of Carleton; by Rev. Isaac Wes-
ton, nearly opposite tho head of High
street; by Rev. Joshua Taylor, on the
east side of Union street; by Moses Hall
in the West schoolhouse; after that at the
Friends Academy in New Bedford; and
completed his school days in thelPortland
Academy under BezaleeI Cushman. In
the latter school one of his companions
was he poet Longfellow.
From school he went into his fathers
tannery as an apprentice. This tannery
was located on the lot in the rear OF the
house where Neal Dow was born. He
gradually worked up to be partner in
the business and finally sole proprietor.
Here he prospered and accumulated IN
large part the ample fortune which he
has enjoyed for the larger portion OF his

were not confined to the tanning busi-
ness. In 1S49 he became one OF the dlrec-
tors of the Androscoggin and Kenneoec
railroad; he was director ana at one
time president of the Portland Gas Light
company; and was director OF tho Man
ufacturers' and Traders Bank.
From his very earliest manhood ne was
conspicuous for his interest in the public
affairs of the city. In 1926 he was secre-
tary of the old Portland Debating Socie-
ty; and in 1927 he was one of the mem
bers of the newly incorporated Portland
Athenaeum, an organization which In
cluded some of the best names in the city,

London is in the throes of a school
dispute that promises to grow very bit
ter as it progresses. The fight is for
the control Of the school board, end the
bone of contention is the continuation
of the practice of religious instruction
in the board school. 1t VIII have to
come to that the world over. Only in
so called Christian lands is there this
attempt to push the ecclesiastic into
the domain Of the secular. Morals are
a part Of regular child's training, but
morals and religions are not one, and
the decree Of divorce was pronounced
against them ages since. London may
not win her fight for progress now, but
she will in the end and religious teach
ing in the schools of the nation, sup
ported by public funds will be seen not
to be in accord with the fitness of
things.

While matters of school government
and discipline are under consideration
and the idea is put forth that there are
some incorrigible pupils, whom moth
ing but whipping will reform, it is
in order to remark that the boy who
cannot be reformed without rod,
never will be reformed with one. If
this is doubted call over the tale of
those who have ever been punished in
to BITTERNESS and locate the first one.
A whipping raises the devil in a boy
just as surely as whipping the old car
pet on the floor raises the dust, which
only settles back again after the beat
ing is over. The boy that can be i'm
proved by whipping can be more GER
tainly improved without it.

1t is not the sweet potato down in
Tennessee, but down in "Ole Virginia"
that is running away with the esti-
mates and breaking records this year.
The crop of 1896 was the largest ever
raised up to that date and the counties
of America and Northampton alone
will ship this year $4,000 barrels more
than they did last year. The price is
just as good as the yield and at S1.15 a
barrel there is splendid profit upon
the crop. Texas has something to say
in the way of potatoes too.

Ferdinand of Bulgaria has discovered
that he has been fooled by the Sultan.
A little thing like this should not make
him feel uncomfortable. Who has not
the Sultan fooled? Great Britain,
Greece, Russia and even Germany and
Austria and Italy could have told the
young man of Bulgaria that he was
very likely to get his eye teeth cut in
any transactions he might have with
Ccnstantinople.
