Thus it will be seen that there was
large increase all along the line in
the flve-year period. The only items
Of decrease were the number of chill
dren under 16 years of age employed
and the wages paid to them. The num-
Der of such was PITS in 1900, and in 1905
it had fallen to 1471. decrease of S2.4
per cent. This was progress in the
right direction. as a sound policy dis
courages the employment of children
in manufactures when they should be
at school and at play and giving their
IOdies and minds a chance to develop.
1t appears that during the period the
number of establishments increased

increased 500. zoo. OBS or 26.1 per cent. and
the value of products $31, O61 .O99, or 275
per cent; while the average number of

into small compass. we may say that
capital of $144 200. 900 is invested in the
manufactures OF Maine. that they en-

wages of So: 400 0GG every year. and that

Considering the industries in the or

most important single manufacturing
pursuit in the State is that of paper
and wood pulp. although in 1900 it was
third in rank. There was a gain of but

At both censuses Maine held third rank
among the states manufacturing paper

State increased from 10.4 per cent. of
the total for the United States in 1900 to

but the combined textile industry is

A PrinceIy Gift.

IF Adolphus Busch had not seen the horror
and devastation of the disaster at San
Francisco his contribution of 100000 to the
relief fund would, we may be sure, have
been no less. For while man of a sensi-
tive and sympathetic temperament upon
which such a picture of ruin and death
would make lasting impression, the sense
of proportion which belongs TO him as
business man would, IL he had been on the
other side of the, world. have told him that
here was a colossal calamity and one call
ing for a generosity passing any ever
shown on a like occasion. Not only In
St. Louis, but in many parts of the world
where his private and public beneficences
are known, It need not be said that he
would have responded as he has because
Of what he ielt and not of what he saw.
Yet the fact that the money so con-
tributed is to go TO the relief OF a most
direful situation, "all of which he saw and
part Of which he was" must add something
to Mr.. Buschs pleasure in making this
magnificent donation. Among all OF those
to whom the disbursement of this gift will
bring pleasure we may be sure that that
OF the giver is greater than can be that
OF any one else. Mr.. Busch is always a
cheerful giver, such as are beamed upon
In the beautitudes and II is safe to say
that none of the committeeman who dis
pense his bounty. and none of the UNI
fortunates who receive It, will get as much
joy out OF It as he has I'm giving IT,
This much for the human side of the
gift. On the practical side, Mr. Busch
doubtless sees that, with the necessary help
and support the stricken city and section
will rise again and pass on TO new and
greater conquests No man has a greater
faith in the boundless and redounding
energy and recuperative power of the
American people than Mr.. Busch, for no
man knows them better and few as we'll
He helps those he knows 20 be worthy OF
help, not only for his sympathy and their
relief, but for rehabilitation of what Is
lost and reconstruction of fallen powers
He has given wisely and well-as a phil
anthropist and as an American with SUI
preme faith In the grit and enterprise Of
his fellow citizens
