| all expenses. In view of the fact
that the tax was reduced last year
from 35 to 30 cents this showing Is
unusually good and demonstrates

of resources and expenses. IL WIZ
Il be seen that more money mas been
expended on highways the past year

noticeable decrease in the size of the

due partially TO the fact that so
many steel structures nave beeh
built within the last few years.
The selectmen nave not yet written
their report but will do so at their
regular meeting tomorrow VIII

board, says, however that another
reduction of five cents will in adj
probability be recommended on the
strength of the prosperous year
lust past and the outlook for the
coming IL months. This will bring the
town tax down to 25 cents which the
selectmen said last year they would

AN UNCOMMON CUE.

We ind a certain pleasure in calling
the attention of as many people as
| this may reach to the most contempti-
Die scOundrel of whom we have heard
Tor many a day. In order that there
may be no question as TO his identity
we viii say that his name is James e..
Foye, assistant manager of a New
York brokerage Office. F'oye had his
mother arrested the other day on a
! charge of threatening to kill him for
not supplying her with money. He
failed to make out a case and the wo-
man was discharged from custody.
In the hearing it developed that this
beasts mother is on the verge of star
walton, that she earns a little money
from time to time doing homework,
but lately her health has been so bad
that she could work very little. Foye
commands a good salary, he dresses
well, gratifies luxurious tastes, and let's
his mother starve. In burst of indig-
nation the magistrate before whom the
mother was taken told FOye to get out
of his court and never to set foot in it
again.
I'm see myself in hell before I give
her a cent" he is quoted as saying,
later. "She never cared whether I
lived or not. 1 never had any love from
her. Ever since I was 10 years old I
have made my own living and found
my own jobs. I don't owe her a thing.
1 am sick and tired of being annoyed
by her, and if she comes around here
again win have her arrested"
In some less educated hut mora h.,
man communities this young Foye
would be given a coat of tar and
feathers and a ride out OF town on the
hard side Of a rail. And the treatment
might be rounded out with about a
hundred lashes on his bare back. How
decent people can associate with an
animal of this description is beyond our
understanding. He is too vile for the
company Of a drove of swine; he would
reduce the average of morality in a
band or hyenas.
No matter what Mrs. F'oye has done
or has not done; no matter what she is
or is not; it is impossible for the young
man to get away from the fact that she
is his mother, that she gave him his
life, cared for him in infancy, suf-
fered for him, worked for him He
owes her more than he could ever pay,
more than mere money. And If he
doesn't Immediately begin properly
caring for her he should lose every
friend he has on earth
