Abandon the farms; move the valleys
and the mountain sides; entirely de-
populate the so called rural districts of
our state; let everybody move into the
large towns and the cities in order to
escape from the hideous conditions Of
crime and depression of spirit; that
vicious selishness which breeds mean
ness and brutality; that lonely condi
ton which fits the human being primar-
lily for the insane asylum. Let us
give up our many beautiful and natural
surroundings which we had supposed a
source of healthful inspiration in the
building of artistic homes and main
tanning therein loving companionship ;
let us leave to the polluting ravages OF
natural decay all the evidences of what
we had been proud to think were the
offerings of high order of reason and
honest toll; let us move into the centers
of population and add to the congestion
already in possession there, for that will
be far better than living on the farms
outside the pale of civilization in that
condition Of social isolation and hun
gering after the companionship of hui
mainly, which invites the unbalancing
of the mind and promises the failing
reason and speedy transportation to the
wards of the asylum. If the terrible
malady of insanity is increasing alarm
ingly in the state and if, as is suggested
bv our friend of the st. Adams Messen-
ger, it is somewhat attributable to the
isolation of naturally society loving
people throughout the rural districts,
then the quicker we get over the idea
that history has always taught that the
greatest minds and the noblest lives, as
a rule, spring from the hillsides and the
valleys, the sooner will we be permitted
to enjoy the sublime vision of knowing
"a good thing when we see it, and, II
permitted by the saints OF the cities,

Double Taxation.

Double taxation is extremely wrong !;
but what shall be the remedy? That is
the rub. The wisdom of the state for a
generation both in and out of the legis-
lative membership has labored earnestly
over this problem without solving it.
The best men of the state from both the
creditor and debtor class have consulted
and proposed again and again without
results, but, like the ghost of Hamlet,
it will never down to remain hidden
from our sight. The common people OF
the country can cry ont against the
selfishness of Rockefeller when he raises
the price of oil a cent or two a gallon
for the purpose of gaining the where
withal to donate million to his univer-
sity. but since he controls the stock and
the law will protect him in rights of ac
quired property, those who buy oil are
forever at his mercy Will it not al
ways be that the debtor class will be t.
large extent the slave of the creditor
class? Gladly would we see the prob
lem solved to the aid of the debtor, bu
we are rather pessimistic i'll our view a
present.
