In jefferson Honor.
His Greatest Work the Forging of Our
Democratic System.

DeuiOSAdLiS ~ StSA4l-
Among the many tributes paid to
Thomas jefferson last Monday, it is
hard to single out any one as the
busiest or most feIicitous. jefferson
filed so many roles and fathered so
many ideas that the most irreeonciI-
able opponents IN politics can dis
pute his mantle of authority and the
most contrary schools of thought can
claim him as a prophet and forerun-
ner.
He can be eulogized as the founder
Of the Democratic party; as the
empire builder who made the Louis
lana purchase; as the far-sighted OPP
ponent of negro slavery; as an early
and ardent protectionist; as the foe
of Capitalization and the forger of
the strict construction theory of the
Constitution; as the originator of the
philosophy of notification and seces-
sion; as the champion Of religious
freedom and popular education; as
the sponsor in this country Of French
ideas Of democracy and equality; as
the author of the glittering general
ties" of the Declaration Of Independ-
ence.
Finding in Jefferson's works or
writings some sanction for almost
every thought or tendency which has
been living force in our national de-
velopment, the American Of today
finds it pulling TO decide In which
sphere of his many-sided activity JEFF
ferson exercised the profoundest in
fiuence which role we owe him the
largest debt of gratitude
It IS Senator Hoar's judgment
expressed in his speech last Monday
at the dinner here Of the Thomas
Jefferson Memorial Assoeiation-tha
as the author of the Declaration of
Independence the memory Of Jeffer-
son Is and shall be chiefly honored.'
And perhaps the Sage of Monticello
held himself the same opinion; for Of
his three great services TO the world
he enumerated that title to honor
first when he wrote for his own tomb
the epitaph: Here was buried
Thomas jefferson, author of the
Declaration of American Independ-
enee. Of the Statute of Virginia for
Religious Freedom, and Father of the
University Of Virginia"
Yet it may well be doubted that the
mere formulation Of the preamble Of
the Declaration Of July /, 1776, was
Jefferson's greatest contribution to
American civilization. Paine, or any
one Of a dozen other pupils Of the
Rights Of Man School, could equally
well have cast into words the current
French doctrines of Liberty and
Equality.
But it was Jefferson's function
not merely TO exploit those principles
il glowing rhetoric, but TO carry them.

vironment, into actual practice 1t was

TIE Central Labor Union Of this
city charges that the United States
Government IS using prison-made
mail pouches The charge may or may
not be vel founded That is not the
point which we desire TO discuss. Nor
are we in a position 10 determine
whether or not the pouches made IN
different penitentiales are of the re-
CURED standard, or, indeed, equal to
those made by private concerns. What
we wish to discuss Is, whether prisons

THE FOURTH.

Not until the eleventh hour was any
effort made for celebration here, but
notwithstanding this a first class pro-
gramme was presented, including band
concerts, sports and races, ball game,
the days festivities closing with dance
in the opera house. Prize winners in
the various contests were: Shoe race,
Riggie, Castonguay, Curtis; wheel
barrow race, Emery, Pease, White ;
three legged race, Riggie brothers,
Castonguay and Dumas; ball race, Dion
sack race, Dumas, Riggie, Jean. The
music by the local band, under the
direction of E. E. Gonya, was an agreea-
BILE surprise to our people, and the band
boys were highly and deservedly compli-
mented for their excellent playing. A
report of the ball game is given else.

casion. 1t is gratifying to report that
there was no accidents or disturbance
during the day, and although the bars
we're open but very little drunkenness
was seen, in fact not so much as last
year under prohibition. We may have
more extensive celebration in 1904
but it is doubtful if it furnishes more
general enjoyment than did that OF 1908

Young Women and Poultry.

A considerable number of young wo-
men, according to rural observer, are
engaging in the poultry business and
seem. from all accounts, to be making
success Of it. A correspondent of
Harper's Weekly tells of being in
Chicago dry goods store on Saturday
afternoon not long ago when she saw
one of the sales girls receive her wages
for the week. She was paid 81 hav-
Ing been in her place from o'clock in
the morning until 6 o'clock in the even
ing every day. 1t was necessary for
her to be we'll and more or less expen-
sively dressed, to be constantly on her
feet and to keep her temper and her
self possession. frequently under trying
circumstances. On the other hand,
says the observer, take the case Of the
farmer girl. None makes less than So
per week. and many make S.. They
work only two or three hours day,
their surroundings are conducive to
good health and cheerfulness, and they
can dress as they feel inclined. The
writer mentions the case Of two young
girls who sold last year an average of
So -ys:.s. of eggs every week during
the spring and summer. Nor did they
sell all they might have disposed of,
for they raised over 400 young chickens
besides. From all of which it would
seem that there are worse things than
being country lass.

CHINAMEN CAPTURED.

Early last week Thursday morning
two Cinnamon were captured by Gus
toms officer Randall. They evidently
were brought in via Holland and Nor
gan, as team stopped about half a
mile east of the station shortly before
the two were captured, and turned back
the way it came. The men walked on
the track and when near the station ac-
costed Walter Moye, asking if train
then being made up was the train for
Boston, to which Walter answered in
the affirmative. They were about en-
tering car when Capt. Randall no.
ticed them, asked their destination, and
for their passports. They said they
were going TO Boston, but had no pa
pers. He took them to the custom
house, and questioning them they stat
ed they walked into Island Pond and
then their knowledge of English was ex.
hausted. Their shoes did not bear them
out in their statement. They were
placed in "Liberty" cage, and Saturday
were taken to Newport by immigrant
inspector Grant and deputy sheriff
Bemis, and placed in Jail to await the
action of the government. If in the
country illegally they will be deported
to China.

Brutality Tortured.

A case came to light that for persistent
and unmerciful torture has perhaps never
been equaled. Joe Golobick of Colusa,
Calf, writes. "For Is years | endured
insutferable pain from Rheumatism and
nothing relieved me though l tried
everything known. came across
Electric Bitters and it's the greatest
medicine on earth for that trouble. A
few bottles of it completely relieved and
cured me-" Just as good for Liver and
Kidney troubles and general debility.

The Immigration Problem.

The great Increase of immigration for
character Of many of the newcomers TO
America have awakened suspicion that
the steamship companies are making a
canvass of certain European countries
to augment their steerage business.
The treasury department is TO make a
thorough investigation in order TO learn
whether this suspicion is founded on
fact. The records are declared to show
that the character of the immigrants is
steadily declining and that recent legis-
lation and new rulings by the depart
ment TO raise the standard have not
been effective.
These facts have brought the immi-
grafton problem once more prominently
before the country, and again it is
shown that there are two sides to the
question For instance, the Cincinnati
Enquirer takes one extreme view and
says: when a man has at infinite toll
and cost established a home, no duty,
no call of charity or humanity, can
compel him TO bring within its limits
inmates certain to degrade and destroy
1t. His duty is to protect and preserve
his home at all hazards, and the same
thing is true of our country. 1t is our
home. and If the American type is to
survive we must project it from the
incoming Of ignorant, decadent peoples
with no interest in our institutions and
no capacity or desire to be truly of us"
On the other hand. the St Louis
Globe Democrat thinks that the coun-
try will have no more difficulty in as
Stimulating the present incomers than it
has had in assimilating others in the
past. 1t declares that there is plenty
of room for them and plenty of oppor-
tunity to better their condition.
In a measure, concludes the Buffalo
Express, this is doubtless true but 1t is
also a fact there is great danger in
pei Uniting 81 manly VI thtSC StldHSOiS
to take up their homes in the large
cities. 1t asserts that this cityward
movement seems to be the tendency in
these days. Instead Of going to the
newer sections of the country, where
they can develop with the country,
these people are inclined to flock to the
crowded tenement house quarters of
the large cities, where the environ
ments are all against the birth and
nurture Of the true American spirit.
Their presence there in such large num-
beers augments the evils Of the slums
against which we are at present max
ing such fight and makes that fight
all the harder"
In connection with such measures as
may be considered desirable to control
immigration steps should be taken as
far as possible to turn the tide of in
corners from the large cities to the ru-
raj districts. where there are more room
and opportunity for them and where
they may be more easily assimilated
with the native population.

Miss Inez Needham of Island Pond
has just completed most successful
term of fourteen weeks of school. An
entertainment was given by the pupils
on Friday last, when at its close the
school presented their kind teacher with
a beautiful lamp. Ice cream and cake
was served. 1t may be well to mention
that through this long term of school
Irene c. Hanford Carpenter and Edith
Nelson did not miss one day. The I'M

a success in her vocation was deeply ap-
preciated by many.
The Fourth passed away quietly and
with no disturbance of the peace. The
ball game played by the Frontier team
and Ripley's team was exceedingly in
teresting. The game stood 10 to II in
favor of Ripley's team. In the evening
nearly one hundred people gathered op-

Iunenburg.

Although Lunenburg did not make
any great pretensions to celebrating the
4th of July, yet the village people gen.
orally did not lack for fun and amuse-
ment. In the afternoon we enjoyed a
very good display of horribles, gotten mp
in great style, and far surpassed those
in other places. Several parties enjoyed
their favorite pastime of fishing in our
trout brooks, and some had family pic
MICS, which is an ideal way of celebrating
the Fourth. In the evening several of
the citizens had fine display of fire
works. In quiet way we think the
day, which was a beautiful one' was
much enjoyed by those who remained
to see.
