The socalled imperialistic spirit
that sprang up with such remark
able suddenness after the battle of
Manila bay will probably be
dampened by the attitude of our
government in the initial stages
of the pending negotiations for
peace. 1t is well. The United
States are broad and comprehen-
sive enough today. We need no
colonies. We have only recently
realized that the constant stream
of immigration to our shores is not
desirable. And that realization
relates only to the lower, ignorant
classes. We have room for mil
lions yet on our undeveloped lands.
Irrigation is comparatively in its
infancy on this continent. There
are countless opportunities for the
development of our native re-
sources without crossing an ocean
to colonize distant islands. The
Monroe doctrine is good enough
today and its spirit bids us e con-
tent to keep our hands off Euro

guard against European aggres-
sion in this hemisphere. AT the
same time we need coaling stations
in various parts of the world,
purely as a measure of protection
and precaution. Give us peace
with honor, give us what we went
to war to gain, give us sufficient
indemnity to pay for that war,
whether it be in nearby territorial
cession or in gold, but let us not
borrow trouble by any attempted
colonization in the far East.

A PURSE OF s2s5.
Rev. j. " Campeau Of West BoyIston
Surprised by Pensioners.
Especial Dispatch 10 the Spy }


West Boylston, Feb 8. - Rev. J. "
Campeau was agreeably surprised tonight
by a committee, who called him to the
vestry of the church and presented him
with purse of $2S5 as a mark of good
will and parting gift on the part of his
parishioners. FIR. Campeau leaves town
today to assume the pastorate at Man
chang and East Douglas.
The vestry was crowded with people to
bid farewell, and FIR. Campeau was led to
the platform, where the presentation
speeches were made-that in French by
Louis Bond and that in English by James
B. Dorr.
FIR. Campeau said that the usual order
of things had been reversed on this occa-
sion. 1t had always been his duty, he
said, to attend to the sick; but tonight he
was being attended to. He needed such
attention, he said, because one part Of him
was not strengths heart. He stated that
during the nine years of his pastorate in
West Boylston much work had been done,
but he took little credit therefor to him
self. He had been the head only, and they
Ghe parishioners) the arms to carry out
his ideas. They had built the church,
every board and nail in which attested to
their sacrifices. In the darkness of life
there are few happy hours; but this oc-
easlon. would be remembered as one of
those hours.
There were many moist ewes when FIR
Carnpeau had finished speaking.

had repeatedly decided that the good
will and advertising of a concern was
clearly an asset. Further than this,
unless the concern was Incorporated I'M
der the laws of this state, the common
wealth would lose the corporation tax
OF $l5 thousand on this portion of the
capital stock, 1t was clear that the
amount at which the petitioners desired
to capitalize had been paid in, in cold
cash.
Mr.. Hayes of Boston opposed the bill
on the ground that it was against the
policy of the state to capitalize for this
large amount of money when such a
large part of it had been paid for good
Will. 1t was true, as had been stated
by the gentleman from Worcester, good
VIII had been considered as an asset,
but not an asset of value, without the
strongest evidence. But good will was
not allowed as an asset of value by the
commissioner of corporations in this
state, who acted under the general law
relating to corpora tions. The policy OF
the state in this direction should not be
disregarded in single instance like this
for the few thousands of dollars to be
gained in corporation taxes
Mr.. Myers of Cambridge spoke for the
favorable consideration of the bill, de-
ciaring that it was not adverse to the
policy of the state, and that there was
no question as to the expediency of the
measure
Mr.. Calendar of Boston also spoke for
the bill. Mr. Denham Of New Bedford
moved the previous question, and after
a brief objection, the main question was
ordered. The bill was ordered to a
thlrd reading without division.

nllttee OF the house to attend the fune.

Ponce of Cambridge, Mccarthy of Bos.

LESS SELECTMEN.
Idea That Brookfield Should
Have But Three.
Though Town Meeting is TWO Months
Away Political Pot is Beginning
to Boil

Bnookdeld, Feb. 9.-Although the time
for town meeting is two months away.
the political pot is beginning to boil.
The various candidates for town offices
are making careful survey Of the field
It is being generally considered, and the
idea seems to be gaining ground that
the board of selectmen, which now con-
sists of five members, should be reduced
to three. large number of citizens
believe that the interests Of the town
would be cared for equally as well with
board of three members as with five,
as 1t is now constituted, and point to the
town of North Brool1field, which. al
though twice as large as Brookheld, IL
well and ably managed by a board OF
three members; and say that with one
representative from East Brookfield and
two from Brookfield the interests of the
town would not suffer. special town
meeting will probably be called in a few
weeks to decide the matter.
The. license question is again forging
to the front. While no-license as de-
monstrated by the year just passed has
not been the success hoped for, Yet it
is an undoubted fact that the town has
been more free from drunkenness and
TowdiSm than for many previous years;
and, while il Is well known by the Off
GERS, as well as by the people at large,
that liquor is sold in Brooktield and in
the East village, yet the town is spared
the scandal of open bar rooms, with all
their glittering accompaniment. If the
town officers took an active interest in
suppresSing the Illegal traffic, the sale
could be reduced to a minimum; but,
unfortunately for some unexplained
reason, they do not do this. The license
people are wideawake, however, and
will make an earnest effort to place the
town in the license column again. They
argue that there has been as much Hiq-
uor sold in this ro-license year as IN
any former license year. This assertion,
however, is not borne out by facts; and.
from present indications, the no-license
people feel assured of another victory
in April.
