1t is noticeable from the returns made
to the State assessors, that cities and
towns are becoming more and more re-
luctant to exempt, or perhaps to express
it more mildly. rebate the tax on prop
erty for the sake of inducing the plant
to settle in the town. Only a compara-
lively short time ago it was no uncom-
mon thing for cities and towns to use
every inducement for companies to come
into the State. Now the returns show
that there are few exemptions.
The most remarkable case of reduction
of taxation through the expiration of the
period of exemption is found in the town
Of Orono. There the tax rate, last year.
was so mills. At that time the town car
ried 100000 worth Of property on which
there was a rebate of taxes OF that

There is some discussion as to whether
or not the town of Somerville can rid it
self of its debt by claiming that the
greater part was contracted illegally. 1t
is rumored that the town is to claim
that whatever has been contracted in
excess of five per cent was not Legal.
Now the question raised is. Was not the
debt contracted before the amendment
to the constitution was adopted? Other
questions enter into the matter that make
the case exceedingly interesting.

The Philippine Question.

More than year has now elapsed
since the beginning Of the Philippine

In thinking over the situation one
cannot help but think also of the sit

There the Spanish government was do
Ing its utmost to put down a rebellion
against its sovereignty by people who
had sworn 1t allegiance. Now we are
doing out utmost to subdue a people
who have never sworn us allegiance

the Cubans were. But they are fight
Ing for the same cause, liberty, the little
word which we Americans prize IN
highly. There was once a time when
every patriotic American left home and
hearth and went to battle for liberty
to break the yoke of foreign bondage.
Before us lies their declaration of in
dependence and in it we read that all
men are created equal and that all gov
ernments derive their just power from
the consent Of the governed. How does
the philippine question look, viewed in
this light? II we succeed in subduing
them and establish government, will
that be government of the people, by
the people, and for the people?

National Grain Growers Column.
am pleased to announce that vigor-
Ous efforts have been commenced
throughout the whole country to or
ganize the farmers into National
Grain Growers association.
We have just heard from New York
and Michigan that organizers are in
the field and that they expect to call
state conventions in the near future to
organize state associations.
Col. J. p. Sossaman, Of North Caro-
lima, has appointed his staff of deputy
organizers in his state and promises
to have that state system practically
canvassed throughout each county be-
fore June. when he intends holding q
state convention at Charlotte, N. c.
Hon. B. G.. West, of Tennessee, has
also reported that active steps have
been taken in that state to complete the
organization in Tennessee.
Reports from George H. Dunlop stat
ed that California will be right in line
In the near future with a fully organiz-
ed state association.
Even Canada Is waking up. We have
favorable news from James Mcbride
that Vancouver has also taken up the
matter Of introducing the Grain Grow
ers' In that country.
Even in Germany and Switzerland
the Introduction of the National Grain
Growers association is being con-
sidered.
On Feb. IA, 1900, Prof. DR.. G. Runland
of the Friborg University of Switzer-
land, delivered an address before the
Royal German Agricultural Agrarian
association, Berlin, Germany, in which
he advocates the adoption Of the Ma
tional Grain Growers association into
Germany, France and Russia, and
would also embrace the wheat produc-
Ing countries of the world, including
South America, Australia and India, in
great International Association OF
Farmers Of the World The object of
this great international association is
to have the farmers of all nations work
In concert to advance and defend their
common interests against the combines
and trusts that now control the prices
OF the worlds crop.
1t Is the intention to have the farm
ers OF the world have some definite OBJ
Ject In view and then all work in con-
cert to accomplish the object.
It is proposed. for instance, that the
farmers will set price at which they
will sell their grain in the markets of
the world. instead Of leaving it to the
gamblers and big operators. It is pro-
posed that 81 bushel for wheat is the
price that they will set on this grain at
Liverpool, England.
1t II proposed that farmers Of the en-
tire world hold back their grain from 60
to 80 days after threshing, or long
enough to have the price reach the dol

these colonies govern, themselves? How
can a handful Of men scattered up and
down the coast form an independent ma
ton? Will not the dusky savages that
lurk along their frontier and cover most
Of the continent one day fall upon them
and massacre them all? A deplorable
dasco will be the result, therefore let
us subdue them. But the colonists
shouldered their muskets and Joined
their neighbors and went out to meet
the redcoats. Everyone familiar with
American history knows the result. The
redcoats we're defeated and a republic
was founded, which has grown to be
one Of the greatest of the earth. When
the imperialists point to the fact that
the Filipinos are not one nation alone,
but many nations, and that harmony
among them will probably never come
to exist, we point to the fact that
the fathers of the republic were not of
one nation alone, but were Yankees,
Germans, Frenchmen, Irishmen, Swedes
and Dutchmen and we don't think they
did harmonic very we'll.
According to synopsis of the report
of the Philippine commission, which
we have seen in the papers, high tribute
is paid to the intelligence Of the Fill
pinos, and this commission says that
more of them are educated than is COM
monty believed, but are, of course, unfit
for self-government. Now what are
we to do with them? Make them citizens
OF the United States and give them
equal rights with our sons to mould the
destinies Of our country? If they are fit
for that they are also fit for self-gov-
ernment. But if we are to make them
mere subjects without any voice in the
government it will be in discord with
the principles on which our republic is
founded. The star spangled banner will
no longer be symbol of liberty as it 4
hitherto has been and the oppressed
will no longer look toward it for help.
II the path Of Old Glory shall be over
conquered people bathed in their blood
and followed by their curses it will be
Old Glory no longer.
Now, perhaps many will call us un-
patriotic, but, is it true patriotism to
saye aye and amen to all that an ad-
ministration does? When an evil ex-
lists or wrong is committed let indig-
nant hands point to it, and the sooner
will the evil be redressed, the sooner

A Plea for Peace

BY Rev. G. E. Walker, D. D.
Behold the troops of the god. Mars
Destroying man with bloody wars.
Though angels sang, long since. OF
peace,
The wicked wars do not yet cease.
Our hearts are tried, our souls rebel:
We say with Sherman, "War is hell"
We pray for good-will-"on earth,
peace"
And speak and write that wars NAV
cease.
The time has come to strike a blow,
And bid the armies now to go,
And till the fields of richest soil.
To learn in peace how sweet is toll.
The angel song, peace now on
EARTH"
Betokens manhood's royal worth:
The message means that earth shall
yield
To man his food from forest and field.
That man shall prosper, earth shall be
A home for man and men free
That wrath shall cease, and hateful
strife
OF nations never more take life.
That man to man shall brother be
With home on either side the sea.
And love shall sway and hover DER
The peoples who will war no more.
This state of things to us shall bring
The sweetest songs, with power to
sing,
To sing and serve for only good.
And bring the age of brotherhood.

Before we leave the subject of Mary Kingsley

say Il word as To the fascination OF her person
ality. She was without doubt one Of the most
attractive Of human beings. Her almost pathetic
ShyneSS was enough To destroy all notion of
eSOISm, or prlce, or pompOuSneSS, or vanity, but
not enough to make her unsy mpathetic; while an
interest in all subjects worth being interested
IN which never Tagged. and an unfaing sense
of humOr which was never hard or unkind made
Mary Kingsley a delightful companion But
Mary Kingsley had beyond all this an intellect
which it is no eXaggeraton to say was of the
first class and she had also a wealth OF advent
urous experience which belongs to few men, and
to no other woman. OF this generation
