PRESIDENT M'KINLEY DRANK
AP0LLINARIS AT BUFFALO

Mrs. Mary H. Hunt, the head of the
education department in the Woman s
Christian Temperance Union, has just
returned to her home in Boston after
an extended trip as speaker at state
conventions in the eastern states. She
says
IF the size and enthusiasm of audi
ences is any criterion by which to
judge, the public has not lost its in
terest in the cause of temperance
which is total abstinence. The evil
dence shows that a wider intelligence
as to the evil nature of alcohol is be-
ginning to tell against it's beverage
use" To the question, rs the Wo-
mans Christian Temperance Union
losing ground?" Mrs. Hunt replied, 20,
no, it is quite the contrary. There is
everywhere evidence of it's growth and
increasing strength, especially in the
NOSE hopeful of all temperance work
that of education of the young in the
physiological reasons for total absti-
hence and obedience to other laws of
health"
She said further, ct heard a treasur-
er of the state of New York give before
the great annual convention of tenn
perance women of that state an Incl
dent of the late President Mckinley to
my knowledge not before given to the
public. He said that just before Pres
ident Mckinley went from the ante
room to that fatal platform in the
Temple of Music at Buffalo where he
was shot, one of the state officials
whose guest he was, said, Mr.. Presi-
dent. shaking hands with so many peo-
pie will be very exhausting. Won't you
take something with US to fortify your
self in advance for this tax on your
strength?'' Eyes 1 thank you, 1 WILL"
replied President Mckinley, "but
please respect my feelings and make
mine Apollinaris."

speech even on economical questions.
But liberty Of speech does not mean
that judgment shall be thrown to the
winds. Should a professed anarchist
hope to hold position in an American
college? Prince Kropotkn, for in
stance, is a very cultivated man, but
it is not likely that any American
university would care TO have him
counted as one Of it's faculty.
1t is really the broad man who recog-
nizes the possibility Of being in error,
and who when some novel idea takes
possession Of him hesitates to strongly
assert himself. remembering the re-
sponsibility he is assuming. He must
nicely weigh his duty to the communi-
ty, TO his university and to himself.
To preach principles that are offensive
to any particular class of citizens is
not the only thing that calls for BRAY
cry. Conservatism has it's share, and
often it is bravery of the best sort.
The reproach that a man in this or
that calling dare not speak or act in
aNNOlN WIN lAAS NOlNltNlViAS ID SNN4
being hurled. The reproach is possible
because of the fundamental laws of
society, and is, therefore. often most
unjust. Social organization only be-
comes possible when men begin to
think they had best not say all that
they think, or always put their
thoughts in action. Within somewhat
broader bounds, perhaps, than those
that restrain others who are hired and
paid college professors, being hired and
paid are amenable to very much the
same laws. If they transgress they
should rightfully hear from it. They
must, like others. distinguish between
liberty and license. They must, too,
perform their duties very much in the
same way, as others perform theirs,
and when they are about to do things
exterior to the direct duties demanded
by their calling they must, like others,
consider what relations these acts have
to such duties. When the relations
are inconsistent they should recognize
that the time for choice has come.
College professors who live broadly
and do their work faithfully have moth
ing to fear, neither from the people in
general nor from millionaires in par
ticular.

NEW MAP OF WORCESTER
A SPLENDID PRODUCTION

The Index Publishing Co., publishers
of The Worcester Index, have just COM
pleted a new map of Worcester cover
ing the whole city including all the
streets within the boundary lines.
The map is an accurate reproduction
of the large one recently completed by
the engineers department, under sup
ervision of City Engineer f. A. Nc
Clure.
A special feature of the small map,
which is only "a 1-2x31 in, is the div
ision of the whole city into half-mile
squares so that by the combination of
the printed alphabetical index, which
accompanies each map, any street can
be located instantly; and as there are
about 1900 streets in the city, the i'm
portance of this feature will be at once
seen.
Electric car lines are shown in red,
and the whole system as it now exists,
is brought out in detail. When the new
lines are completed Worcester will
have a network of car tracks as COM
plete as any city of it's size in the coun-
try.
The small map is printed by a new
method called the cereotype or wax
process, which produces unusual clear
ness in the type effect so that every
street name, no matter how small
shows up clear and distinct.
The wards are handsomely shown by
colored tints blended nicely with
enough contrast to give the desired eff
feet
Some of the important features
which a good map should possess, are
shown clearly and include the circles
from one mile to five, elevations at
highest points, fire limits, parks, brooks
and ponds, all from actual surveys re-
Gently made.
A sample of the new production is
shown in Davis & Banister's window,
and is attracting much attention and
favorable comment. The map will be
ready for delivery in a few days.

PRESS COMMITTEE.

To the Editor of The Spy::-
1 cannot refrain from rendering my
sincere thanks to The Spy for publish
ing (Oct q, 1901 and to &C. g." for
writing that sublime letter, in which,
truth majestically declares 1.-The will is
not free" This grand truth has been
neglected too long.
The church-that institution which is
of human origin-the church, whose
innumerable sects are founded upon
the countless ideas of the human
mind-may continue to act upon the
principle of letting sleeping dogs lie,
yet these dogs are destined to awake
they will not always sleep.
The humanity appointed ministers of
this church-this emanation of the hu-
man mind-may continue to discourage
inquiry on the subject alluded to;
yet. with the opening up of the mind
and kingdom of Jesus Christ will
come the awakening-the realization
of the fact that "All our opinions are
instincts of our nature, and not acts
of our will, being the effects of our
original organization, of our training,
of the circumstances In which we
have been placed, and of the evidence
presented to our minds"
o, haste that long looked for day
when that wisdom which is stigma
tized earthly, soulical, devilish Qdola-
trousO shall cease to prevail.

MEN AND AFFAIRS

Few journalists are so populer
with the reading public as T.
P. O'Connor, M. P, whose
initials, 1T. p" are to be seen in
so many different publications. His
names, Thomas Power, have by uni
versal consent been shortened to "Tay
Pay" the supposedly Irish pronuncia-
ton of his initials.
The German Emperor is said to be a
good shot in spite of his lame arm. He
uses a kind of prop on which he rests
his arm when taking aim. He is Won
erfully apt, and to see him riding,
shooting or driving it would never be
supposed that he cannot even cut up
his own meat at dinner.
The constant growth of a knowledge
of English in Mexico is made evident
by the new demand on the part of
Mexican youth for books and periodi-
Gals of this language. One dealer in
books and periodicals in English says
that half his customers are Mexicans.
