Skowhegan young people, we're joined

Miss Florence Wyman attending them
as best man and bridesmaid.
The groom was born in NorridgewocB
and came TO this town some years since
to enter the employ of Joseph P. Oak,
afterwards qualifying himself by pass
ing the civil service examination and &C
cepting the position as local mail car
rier, when the delivery service was es
tabished in this town in 1908, which
position he still retains. Miss Lawrence

all her life here She was employed in

half years and has since been one of the
operators at the local telephone ex
change. Both were graduates of the
Skowhegan high school in tho class of
1901. and it is from their acquaintance
formed while attending that institution
that the present uniting of their lives
may be traced.
Mr.. and Mrs. Whiting departed or
their wedding journey by the eight

panied to the train by a particularly; en-

visit for a few days with Miss Edith
Frost, at the home of her parents In
Jamaica Plains, Mass, after which they
were to go to New York City to be en-
tertained by an uncle, Mr.. K. c. Viii
ting. They are to return here about
two weeks hence and will occupy apart
ments at Hotel Oxford where they are

The investigation in regard to matters
and things at "Shiloh," on the sand hills
OF good old Durham, has been held; the
Governor and Executive Council listened
patiently, aud carefully examined the
numerously signed petitions; the thing
has been shown to be menace to the
State, to Androscoggin county, and es-
pecially to the community in which 1t is
located; and after all. the old question
may be again asked, "What are you
going to do about itg' So shy are our
peop.e with interfering with the rights
of the human conscience, that every
thing ridiculous and fantastic Is allow
able under the name of religion. Ii a
set OF fanatics should move into Skowhe-
gan tomorrow, the chief tenet of whose
religious practice was to stand on their
heads, you would see men and women
standing on their heads all over town.
And you couldn't stop them, either, I'M
less they nterfered with public travel
or frightened horses worse than the au-
tomobiles. Unless there is a downright
infringement of the law,-and two or
three indictments against Sanford have
already been mol prossed-we don't see
how the State can interfere. Perhaps
the holy Ghosters will have to give up
the Ghost through their own rottenness.
The State cannot become the Guardian
of a pack OF self constituted idiots.

Agricultural Society Meets

A meeting OF the life members OF the
Someret Central Agricultural Society
was held at the Office of Cover & PEN
nell last Friday afternoon, at which
time reports of the secretary and Il ca
surer were read and accepted and other
business transacted. 1t was voted to
pay all premiums and bills and the presi.
dent, secretary and treasurer were au-
thorized to raise such funds as were
necessary at a rate of interest not e1-
ceeding five percent. The treasurer and
secretary were directed to make an in
quiry as to the title of the society to the
fair grounds The treasurer, secretary
and the board of trustees were APP
pointed committed to draft set of
bylaws, rules and regulations for the
government of the society.
The investigation as to the title to
Farview Park and the creation of a
com mittee to CO NIPPLE a set of bylaws
are made necessary from the fact that
the early records of the society have
been lost. Without some knowledge
as to it's origin and the authority under
which it may act, the society has felt
very uncertain in all the steps it has
taken The work now undertaken will
determine its legal standing and in many
ways strengthen the society in it's future
movements.
Those present manifested much en-
thusiasm and vote was passed that the
society hold trot on July 4th, 1907, un.
less the citizens of the town should wish
to use the park on that lay in connection
with celebration. The meeting ad-
joGrned to meet at the Office of Cover

We believe 1t to be the popular judy
ment, plainly expressed at the recent
election, that all our laws should be
honestly and impartially enforced by the
officials whom the people elect for that
purpose and who are directly account
able to the people for the manner in
which they discharge their sworn duties.

Which means the repeal of the Sturgis
commission law. This Is just the posi-
ton taken by the REPORTER In our issue
following the election. There is great
popular demand for the repeal of the law.

In the recent election 10 New Hamp-
shire there was great gain In the num-
Der of towns that voted "no" on the IL
quor license question, Indicating that the
most desirable conditions are not always
reached under the license law--that 1t is
not the grand panacea for all our woes
as some of the political doctors would
have US believe. AS we have often said,
the prohibitory law, even poorly en-
forced, is in every way better than
license law, and New Hampshire towns
are finding that out by practical ex
perience.

Effort to Secure New Industry

few of Skowhegan's leading mer-
chants and manufacturers met at the
Hotel Coburn parlors, Monday evening
to confer with reference to securing the
location here of the Keyes Fiber COM
pany who have been operating at Shaw
nut for the past two years.
This company manufactures pulp
plates of various sizes, the work being
done by machinery of very ingenious
and original design, the number of hands
at present employed in their Shawmut
plant being about %. The chief object
in change of location is an enlarged
plan and greater output and they plan,
in case they locate here, to employ a
100 hands.
The possibility of securing this in
dustry and its advantage to the town
were set forth by j. c. Griffin and
others who were familiar with the mat
ter. j C. Griffin, Edw N Merrill, w.
P Ordway, j. w. Blunt and G. e.
Young were chosen committee to con.
fer with the Keyes Fiber Co, with a
view to inviting them here and showing
the advantages of Skowhegan as a place
for their enterprise. The principal own
er of the Shawmut plant and another
official of the company, will be here to-
morrow to look at various locations and
| properties with the committee.

For the last thirty-flve years the per
capita value of our agricultural products
has ranged between $40 and $50 year.
There has been large increase in both
the total value of he products and in the
number of producers. A similar In
crease appears in the department of
manufactures, but while there Is only a
slight difference In the per capita value
OF our agricultural products for the
years 1870 and 1905, the per capita
value OF our manufactured products has
increased, within the same time, from
about $40 to nearly II not quite 5000
In 1870 agricultural products represent
ed 1885 per cent, or practically four
flfths of our total exports, while manu-
featured products represented only 10
per cent. Ia the record of the fiscal
year 1905 agricultural products stand at
55.03 per cent, while manufactured
products show as SO "A per cent Of the
total. During those thirty-tive years
our export of farm products increased In
value about one and quarter times, but
the value OF our export of shop and fac
tory products was multiplied by eight.
Now. this thing is plain Unless there
Ia very decided increase In the number
of our planters, farmers and cattle
rsisers, day must soon come when we
must consume at home the entire output
of our fields and farms. and when we
may even be compelled to import food
stuffs.

that the combination be adiidged un-

Faith and works are 80 closely allied
that we are not very much surprised to
find 10 the Wall Street journal, paper
devoted to financial affairs, discussion
Of the question whether or not faith In a
future world is declining among men.
And as an evidence that it is, it points
TO the eager pursuit OF sudden wealth,
the shameless luxury and display, the
gross and corrupting extravaganza, "the
misuse of swollen fortunes" the indffer-
ence TO law, the growth Of graft, the
abuses of great corporate power, the
social unrest, the spread OF demagogy,
the advance of socialism, and the appeals
to bitter class hatred. Whatever may
be a mans own personal beliefs, there Is
no one who would not prefer to do BUSH
ness with a person who really believes in
u future life. II there are fewer men OF
such faith In the world, 1t makes big
difference, and il faith is to continue to
decline, this will require new adjust
ments. No man Is really fitted to live
In this world unless he has full faith In
another world. In that case, he is really
a citizen of two worlds. He moves and
does his business In this, but his highest
thought and inspiration are fixed on the
future. The hopes OF the future will
nerve his arm and strengthen his soul
amid the discouragements of the present
feeting existence. A person who be-
lieves he will die as the dog dieth, fails
to possess the leading attribute OF a
manly man.
