The Century Question.

Since leaving Skowhegan two years
ago have taken the REPORTER and in
its columns aud among It's correspon-
dents l see the names of many old pa
irons and acquaintances. 1t seems to
bring me 10 quite close touch with them,
next to seeing them personally. have
been interested to see with what interest
the century question is being discussed
and especially by my old friend DIR. Nc
Laughlin OF Harmony. DR.. Mclaughlin,

sional life, WAS my nearest neighboriug
doctor and became to know him quite
intimately, and | have always retained
very pleasant memories OF him. | want
to say. doctor, | am pleased to see you
maintain your argument so logical,
with 80 many different opponents through
the columns of the REPORTER, which
paper ain glad to see, AS ~ times past,
Is ever open for discussions that inter
ests its readers. | will not 10 any way
attempt to solve this question, but SIM
ply add few arguments IN support OF
the doctors position as he seems 10 have
less support than the other side. The
old saying, "If you wish to see things

look through red glasses, il you wish 10
see neither color, look through clear
glasses"

commenced to record or reckon time at

be solved, but by so many different
minds il is fair to assume 1t is not known
and we can reason the thing logically.
In mathematics point has position
only, neither length, breadth or thick

Time strictly should be reckoned simi-
larly, commencing 10 the beginning no
time or 0, and record the seconds, min
utes. hours and days as they pass.
When one year has passed, record one
year one hundred years, one century,
etc. Same as we say $40, meaning 3
hours and 10 minutes have passed from

One year back leaves US 1899 years. so
count out the years till they are all gone
and of course YOU will get to just where
you started. 1900 years was completed,
then counted OUT one by one and wheu
all counted out year remains, and that
was the starting point, which is mathe
matically correct. Counting In this

reckoning he would be 1899 years, 0

by dates as they are used, but for the
sake of argument will say, DR.. Nc

What could be more absurd than the
conventional types of the nations =
those types which we see and accept
almost every day? England is pecul-
iarly unfortunate. To express our ia
tional characteristics we have a choice
of two figures. either burly farmer or
a lion The British lion gets some lit
tie support from heraldry, and the ma
tlonal vanity is battered by the anal
ogy of our powers to those of the king
of beasts. But otherwise how little APP
propriatencss there is in representing
us by an animal which most English
men have only seen In the degrading
captivity of a menagerie, which has
never within historical times Inhabited
their islands and about which they
know almost nothing.
Considering also the chronically de-
pressed state of British agriculture, 1t
seems an lroncal thing that the Brit
ish nation should be typified by farm
err If he were manufacturer or a
merchant or a seaman. there would be
some appropriateness, but the stout
eighteenth century John Bull with
whom we are so familiar from allusion
and picture Is being quite unknown
to us In the flesh. He is just good ex-
ample of the time honored, inaccurate.
conventional type. All vigor and sug-
gestiveness have long departed from
the figure. But we are too indolent to
replace him.-London Globe.
