Portland Sunday Times: 1t is quite
generally known by this time that the
Republican party is to have a new
candidate this year. Mayor F. e.
Boothby has been a most successful
and popular executive. He has ad-
ministered the affairs of his Office in
an able and conscientious way. Much
has been done for the public welfare,
the public moneys have been wisely
expended and there has been no fric-
ton in the city council. Democrats
and Republicans have worked we'll to-
gether for the interest of Portland and
they all have knowledge that Mayor
Roothby's genial ways and valuable
suggestions nave done much towards
obiterating all partisan feeling in City
hall. But Mayor Boothby has had
about enough of the mayors office. Hi
position is said to be something like
this He will not ask for Il renomina-
ton but should the Republican party
desire him to serve again he is willing
to do so.

A Portland man points out the decline
of the mackerel industry on the Maine
shore. This year the entire pack al
Portland has not more than reached
1870 barrels, although there was large
business in fresh mackerel for some
time this year, and years ago but few
fresh mackerel We're disposed of. In
1855, the pack of that city exceeded
10000 barrels. and of that amount one
firm, that of Charles A. Dyer x CO.,
packed 25, 500 barrels. The change from
the great business of 1885, TO the unim-
portant pack of 1908, is striking. Hard
ly another industry has SO completely
passed away. From being of first i'm
portance ii has become SO small that
it is hardly noticed.

Rev. DR.. Henry Blanchard of Port
land, who recently went to Los An
geles, Cal, at the urgent invitation of
Univ ersalists there has decided that
the task Of building UP church in the
far western city is too great for him to
undertake. DIR. Blanchard has been
assured that if he would remain two
years he could in that time establish a
church with congregation numbering
five or six hundred the first year and
double that number at the end of two
years. DR.. Blanchard shares this be-
lief but nevertheless finds conditions SO
different from what he had anticipated
that he does not feel able at his age to
undertake the task. He will soon return
to Maine.

that these institutions were subject 10

they came within the meaning of the
law as charitab BILE societies OF the state

A Tower of Strength.

The showing made by the Prudential
Insurance Company of America, whose
home office is at Newark, \. j., fully
entities it 10 the claim of possessing
the Strength of Gibraltar
During 1902 the Prudential wrote
over Two hundred and seventy two
Million dollars Of new insurance, paid
for, which amount is the largest ever
written by any Life Insurance Com
pany of the same age. Its report on
January LIST, 1903. was as follows
Paid-for Insurance in force. eight
hundred and two Millions dollars on
nearly five Million policies with assets
over Sixty Million dollars; surplus,
over Nine Million dollars: annual in
come, over Thirty three Million dol
lars, a total payment to policy holders
since the foundation of the Company
of nearly Sixty eight Million dollars
This record speaks for itself. Those
who wish to know more about this pro
gressive Company and its popular pol
icies which are adapted to all ages,
and for all amounts from Fifteen dol
lars to One hundred thousand dollars
would do we'll to communicate with

The Bellows Falls Times thinks II
has good ONE on the Ludlow Irlb-
une, but it only succeeds IN airing
rather narrow and selfish views of Its
own. 1t says:
The Ludlow Tribune finds itself in a
predicament 1t shouted long and lus-
tily for a license law, and now that the
law is on the books shouts just as loud
" against having saloons in Ludlow.
If Ludlow does not want saloons II
would have been a good idea for Lud-
low TO vote against the passage OF a
bill which makes the establishment OF
saloons in Ludlow possible.
The Times evidently thinks the Trib-
une should have taken the attitude OF
the dog in the manager; which, al
though he did not want the hay him
self. stood upon it and barked and
made things hideous, in the determi-
nation that no other creature should
have it. The Tribune is not of this
type. 1t is willing other towns should
have a license law although it does not
want one in its own town.
Windham County reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1901-1906, 1903-02-27

The following, which appeared II
the form of letter to the Wilmington
Times. is so fair and honest treat
mept of much abused subject as tc
be worth reading. In the stern and I'M
eauivocal atmosphere of the Times 1t
is as refreshing to the reader as way
side spring to thirsty traveller:
If it should come to pass that u
cense for the sale of intoxicating Ii
ouors be granted in Wilmington, it is
hoped it will be of the second class. A
drinking saloon in our prosperous little
village is not a desirable adjunct. A
license of this class properly conducted
now that it is proved that Intoxicating
liquor cannot be prohibited, IL seems
is worthy of a trial.
All the talk by Judge Bond and
others about licensing crime, - is ms
leading and fallacious If the legisla-
ture should pass law making 1t pen
al offense to eat peanuts out OF doors,
a violation of the statute would be
crime in fact. 1t is not crime I'D TACT
to sell temperate man pint OF splr-
ituous liquor. Nor is it crime ID fact
to sell an Incorporate man small
quantity, if that will prevent him from
buying a large quantity, and from
being intoxicated week. Whatever
will reduce the evil of intempeIance
or even if it will not increase it, Is not
a crime except in the eyes of the wor-
shippers of a word that might about as
well be expunged from the dictionary.
LET us be honest" and let US be rea-
sonable.

The new Currier building and thu
Sheplee block in Barre, containing five
large stores, six offices and six tene
ments, were destroyed by fire early Sat
urday morning. The property loss is
about 500, 600, two-tbirds covered by
insurance. Very little Of the contents
of the blocks were saved except a few
articles of clothing hastily secured by
the fleeing occupants. The fire started
in the basement of the Currier block
beneath the store of the Union Cloth
ing CO., and it is supposed to have
started from the furnace The build
ing filled with smoke and some of the
inmates had narrow escapes. 1t is e1-
pected that the Currier block will be

Splendid Success of Boston Journal.

The splendid success which Mr.. Nun
sey is making with the Boston Journal
is only the natural result of his infu-
sion of life and spirit into its columns.
Every department of the paper has been
made more attractive, and added to
this is the establishment of features
entirely new TO Boston newspapers
The daily social column contains the
news of society in the principal cities
told in terse paragraphs, the financial
pages, both morning and evening, are
models Of their kind. and the editorial
pages, entirely different in the morn
ing and evening editions, are bright
and crisp. though at the same time dig
nified. The new Journal deserves the
progress which il is making in Boston
and throughout New England.

TIMELY STATE TOPICS.
What Vermont Editors Find to Discuss After
the Long License Campaign.

More education and less legislation
is what Is going to settle the drink evil
in Vermont. -Vergennes Enterprise.
The public is entitled to some rea-
sonable assurance that the conduct of
affairs at the Vermont state hospital
for the insane at Waterbury has been
made secure beyond the probability of
any more such scandals as have already
twice disgraced it.-St. Adams Mes
senger.
Town liquor agencies go out of bust
ness March 2. The new licensed places,
if voted, cannot possibly get into run
ming order before April l. Under these
conditions it does not require an expe-
rienced prophet to foresee that the
horns of the March moon will be curled
up pretty dry.-St Johnsbury Repub-
lican.
As March approaches, the good peo-
pie of st. Johnsbury are becoming more
and more alarmed. They are pretty
good drinkers over there, and the pros
pect of being compelled to ''go dry
under local option regime is enough
to disturb their dreams. 1t is an aw-
full grind on prohibition St. Johnsbury.

worry prohib is to cut off his rum

serving a year of totally inadequate
sentence of seven years in the house of
correction. If this is really true, Dis

The Butterflies and the Bees.

Many grave accusations have beer
made in the past few weeks agalns'
the women of our country. Mrs Jullf
Ward Howe declares that they drink
and gamble Rev Minot j. Savage
saws that if they can get into society
in this world they are quite willing &c
take their chances as to where they
will 90 in the next, and other promi'
nent persons have brought similar
charges of drinking, smoking and fri
volity against them. Newspaper dis
cussion and elaboration have magnltled
and distorted this matter until we are
in danger of greatly wronging our Wo-
men with reputation which they do
not deserve.
We are too apt to take narrow views
We see few purposeless women chas-
ing elusive pleasure-not, necessarily
from bad inclinations, but because
THEY'VE nothing else to do'-and we
think the whole sex deteriorating.
Our'women now have great opportun-
tiles for education and independence.
They are improving them and are eY-
ercising wonderful power for good an
the world. So great and diverslt1ed IN
character is the work they are DONG IN
all classes of society that 1t wouFd be
impossible even to briefly enuPnerate
it. But we read about it every day
we see it in our own communities we
feel it in our own lives And with one
swift thought of it, the pitiful frivoli-
ties and vices of handful of idlers
must sink into their proper insigniti-
canoe.
With the freedom Of action that
comes from increased knowledge and
opportunity, it is im1 ossible but that
the evil and weaknessfin human nature
should sometimes ecome startlingly
apparent. But SUI women have no
great influence or Value in the affairs
of the great worlE They are like foam
dancing briefly the crest of wave.
The strong, del current beneath that
moves things 4 a goes forever straight
onward, is plde up of the thoughts
and deeds o lie workers-women like
Helen Gou Ramong the rich and of
that well own type among the poor
who have Zen the mothers of many OF
our grea Zen.
