The influence Of Summer Boarders.

The Influence Of Summer eoarders.
At a recent Methodist conference In
the state Of New York, bishop VINO
addressed the gathering, warned the
rural sections of the state in general
and the rural clergymen i'll particular
against the danger involved by the
presence of summer boarders in the
country communities. He argued that
summer visitors are hindrance ana
menace to our country towns rather
than help, and that the effect Of their
presence is injurious to young people in
particular. Said he, Summer board
ers also cripple the work of the
churches. In a very few cases the
visitors bring with them from their
city homes helpful, kindly religious
worldly, frivolous. Sabbath-breakins
class, who value traditions not at all.
They are having a terrible effect upon
the country people,
1t is hard to believe that the good
bishop was wholly justified in his view
Of the influence Of summer visitors in
our rural communities. Either he is
wrong, or else the summer visitors who
spend their vacations in rural New
York are of a different type than those
who come to Maine. In this corner Of
the Union. which we advertise as tn"
playground Of the nation, the summer
visitor business is one Of cur chief in
dustries, and we are firmly convinced
that the presence of these city people
all through our summer months Is
than financial and business ways.
Many a rural community in this state
has little or no public worship during
the year except that during the sum-
mer months. which is supported largely
and in many cases wholly by the sum-
mer visitors. In many community the
first step towards public library has
been due to the public spirit and gen.
crosby of these same summer visitors.
In MANY communities, summer visitors
have bought up abandoned farms and
become more truly residents than
visitors, making the good effects of
their presence felt throughout the year.
1t is not to be denied that the sum-
mer boarders often leave & feeling of
unrest in the breasts of young people
the visitors have gone back to the city.
There is no doubt that the steadily in
creasing throng of city People in our
rural communities every summer has
had great influence in swelling the tide
that flows from the country into the
city. The sons and daughters of our
farms associate with young people from
the city and soon learn to envy their
| lot and feel a stronger desire for the
life and opportunities of the city. But
granting all this, and not considering
the increasing prosperity Of our rural
communities as a result of the summer
visitors, we feel that the influence OF
! these visitors is good rather than bad;
| that they lift up communities where
they spend their summers rather than
drag them down; that they help stimu-
late work along intellectual and religi-
Gus lines, and in general. improve the
moral and social conditions. The New
York bishop either hal an isolated in
stance in mind. which is an exception
to the general rule, or else the con-
ditions of which he complained are not
such as prevail in Maine during the
summer months.

ON PLEA OF GUILTY.
Roy J. Ferguson Sentenced to Peniten-
tiary for Perjury.

Roy j. Ferguson, young White man OF
excellent appearance, who has sustained the
loss of his left arm, was today sentenced by
Justice Wright, in Criminal Court No. l. to
penitentiary Imprisonment for five years.
Ferguson appeared as witness for the de-
tense in the Hardy Weismuller-Tobin rob-
berry case several weeks ago, and later was
indicted for perjury. He pleaded guilty.
The court has been investigating the mat
ter and 1t is understood that further action
will very likely be taken with the view of
furnishing other persons for alleged improp-
err conduct in connection with the trial.
When asked If he had anything to say
why the sentence of the court should not be
pronounced in his case, Ferguson remarked
that he was very sorry he had offended
that he did not realize at the time what he
was doing, and that he had not only brought
disgrace upon himself, but sorrow to his
father.
Justice Wright remarked that the case
was one of the most distressing with which
he had even been called upon to deal. The
court added that the defendant was young
man of good family and should have known
better. The offense of perjury, according to
Justice Wright, is most serious one, and
no man Is safe in his life, liberty and prop
erty If false swearing Is permitted.
THE purpose in criminal cases." Justice
Wright explained is to make examples of
convicted defendants. While l sympathize
with you personally, have duty to per-
form. i must make an example of you to
that you be imprisoned in the penitentiary
for five years In thus sentencing you am
more lenfent than ! would have been had
you not pleaded guilty

WIFE DISCRETION.
Pamphlet Prepared by w. n. Baldwin
of Charity Board

Wife desertion is the subject of a pam
phlet prepared by William H. Baldwin, a
member of the board of managers of the
Associated Charities, and just issued
Family Desertion and Nonsupport Laws
is the technical title of the work. which
contains references to all the legislation of
the country this subject.
That there are laws which cover cases
of wife desertion has been made clear by
the author of the work and his prepara-
ton of the matter in handy form has in
spired the Associated Charities to the prose-
cution of all violators of the law with
which the organization may be made aware
During the past nine years, Mr. Baldwin
has learned, assistance has been given by
the Associated Charities to 1,6O3 families
whose legal rightful supporter had deserted
his trust and left them dependent upon the
public charity.
The existent laws of all the states and
territories and statistics from Alaska, Porto
Rico Hawaii and Canada, are embodied in
the work. 1t is suggested that a model
law be enacted providing for the imprison-
ment of the man who thus deserts his fam
lily, the sentence to be suspended in the
event of the culprit agreeing to pay a rea-
sonabe~ regular sum. the money thus paid
to be received by a regularly appointed
guardian, by whom it shall be expended for
the benefit of the family
1t Is also proposed to bring back these
deserters of their sacred trust. whether or
not they are beyond the jurisdiction Of the
District of Columbia, and to punish them
for their failure to live up to their OBJ
legations. DeSertion is, in some states, rec
ognized felony, therefore. 1t is an ex-
traditable offense, and Mr.. Baldwin has
the word of several governors of the states
that they will honor acquisitions for such
deserters whenever they are wanted by
the authorities of the District of Columbia.
This will be also done in the case of mis-
demeanors as well as felonies, where wife
desertion is ranked as a misdemeanor and
| not by the graver term, felony.
Figures are given from many states,
those OF Ohio showing a specially
interesting record, where the four
humane societies of Cleveland Cincin-
natl, Toledo and Columbus collected
during the year 1903. the sum of $60.5S9
from fathers who had deserted their fam
lilies. The money was used for the care of
the families. which were not therefore put
! upon the public charitable charge. At To-
ledo there are about 81, 500 being collected
each month. while the figures for last year
will probably show that $4,000 have been
thus collected

This punishment should be applied says
the author, when man will not work for

out that 1t will be soon found that he will

recommended
