Not only from the cities of our own

near. from the way off Pacific coast,
from the extreme southland, from

nrising to notice how far away Maine
neople get from their old homes, ana
how long are the distances they are
obliged to travel to spend few weeks
ot our glorious summer at the scenes
ofEtheir childhood homes. In little
country village, the other day, we
found a lady, native of the place,
whose home is in South America, ana
on "a train met one lady, suitcase III

fornia city to visit again her Old meme
in Maine.
Some of these, our own people, re-
turn to visit aged parents; some to see
an only sister: others to visit scenes OF
their youth--thc home in which they
were horn, the schOOlhOuse in which
they first learned to read, the little

and where the law of decay follows
along with the law of development.
They are things to be expected in this
world If some places advance it
must, in the nature of things, be at
the expense of others which retrograde.
The one sentiment. however. which is
uppermost in the minds of those who
return is a love for their old home and
an appreciation for the old State in
which we live. "Oh!" said lady to
us returning from her Pacific home.
"you Maine people do not know how
beautiful your State is. 1t is worth

your lakes, rivers and hills; to breathe
your delicious summer atmosphere and
to enjoy the freedom and welcome
which your people extend to us. But
we fear you do not half appreciate the

This is the general testimony Of the
returning hundreds during the delight

visitors bring is one of love for Maine
let us learn from them that other les

Although Maine has abandoned the
general recognition or observance or
that joyous festivity inaugurated by
former Gov. Rollins Of New Hamp-
shire, adopted by several of the states
and celebrated by their people with
great zest, We yet have a regular re-
turn to their native home of thou
sands Of our sons and daughters every
summer. While there are no regula-
ton days which embrace the special
homecoming wanderers from their
adopted homes in other states, it may
upon the whole be an advantage for it
allows them to return at any time
during the length of our delightful
summer. So if we are deprived of a
weeks holiday and set period for
the display of bunting. flags, notices,
fireworks. Misunderstanding and welcomes,
we have in their place longer time
in which to enjoy the real home-com-
ing of our own and longer time when
the joys of welcome on our own part
meet a response in the hearts of those
who return.

Georgia is not the only Southern
state which is making things very I'M
pleasant in these times for the saloon
keepers. Alabama has not followed
Gecrgia's example in becoming a total
prohibition state although the passage
of much the same kind of a law was
only prevented by desperate filibuster-
ing. The Alabama legislature, how
ever, did pass an anti-saloon law re-
curing the closing of saloons at Q p.
Al. in towns of 5000 and over and at {
anu +. NJ. in towns of lesser popula-
ton. There was an agreement that
the prohibition measure should be
withdrawn if the saloon interests would
not fight the early closing measure
The new law will practically put on,
of business every saloon in the resi-.
dence districts Of large cities since i
is not until late at night that thei
trade begins. Further than this a,
anti-shipping bill was passed whicl
prevents the shipment of LIQUOR from
any part of the state to prohibition

Out in Vancouver they are now haV-
ing anti-JapancSc demonstrations ana
Ottawa is Informed that the laboring
men of western Canada propose to keep
that section "a white mans country
and to stop Japanese immigration at
any cost. This sort of thing is calcu-
lated to put the government at London
in fully as embarrassing a position as
that in which the government mt Wash
ington found itself through the San
Francisco riots. To be sure, England
and Japan are very close allies but
there are chronological differences and
racial prejudices which take no ac-
count of international alliances.
