glad to make contract with me al
lowing larger commissions than
the Mutual Benefit, several almost
twice as much. knew at the time
that no company In business was a

MEANING OF THE WORD GRAFT.-The
Middlesex superior court Is wrestling
with the problem Of defining the
meaning of the word graft" as used
In the newspapers. The counsel for a
Lowell paper which has been sued for
libel for its use of the word has ofrer-
ed to submit to the court a brief de-
fining the meaning Of graft" or rath-
er Its various meanings, for there
seems to be a use of the word In which
nothing corrupt Is implied. In this
sense 1t means merely the holding OF
a public office, the returns from which
may be entirely proper. The courts
will then decide which Of the various
meanings Of the word must be attach
ed to its use In the alleged libel.
Thus 1t appears that there is good
graft" and bad graft" The English
language, or rather its colloquial use,
is a wonderful thing, and when we
have the word graft meaning some
thing entirely proper and something
entirely wrong, the person who uses
It should accompany the phrase with
a definition.-Boston Transcript.

county holds Its election, and If the
predictions hold good, there will be a
loss of $130,000 In business from that
county, as the dispensaries in Spar
tanburg county did $4,000 in busi-
ness In 1904 It will be such licks as
this that will count, and when the
people see that one county after an
other votes out the dispensary to take
prohibition, which Is not to the liking
of many who are opposed to the dis
pensary, they will begin to see the
handwriting on the wall. Six or eight
or ten or even twenty counties voting
out the dispensaries will not kill the
system" With half dozen counties
swinging on to the dispensary, the
system" may be continued, with the
state board Of control, the constabula-
ry, the county boards, the plant here
and all Of the other expenses. 1t Is
wrong to imagine that because coun-
ties vote out the dispensaries that the
system" Is going to die or let go.
The constabulary may not, with half
Of the counties out, cost $66, ,412.l2, as
1t did last year. and 1t may not cost
1921, ,47703 to get the liquor bottled

ume Of business will not run up to

there will be quite enough left for
the system" to hold on. There are
many who suggest that much will de-
pend on the character OF the report or
the legislative investigation commit.
tee as to whether the counties will
have to continue to take county &C.
ton or whether there will be general
state action. This is entirely true and
very much depends on this report ana
its thoroughness. All the people want
is fair, frank and honest report, with
the proper efforts to derive the real
and true facts. nothing more and moth
ing less. If there Is nothing to report,
then there will be no state action, but
IL there should be then the general as
sembly will have to take action Tor
the state. and IL the committee reports
a multitude Of words and leaves
things up In the air." then the tndi-
vidual county action will continue.
II there Is no truth In the talk, the
committee ought to say so without
equivocation. in justice to all con-
cerned.
