This month brings the 26th ami
versary of the founding in Portland of
the first Young Peoples Society of

of a movement which has embraced
all the world and which has proved a
most practical and successful factor in
the great work of the Christian church.

coming interdenominational, has
grown to a total active membership at
the present time of over $500 900. There
are now A, 900 societies in this country
and no fewer than IS, 722 in the world.
The founder of the movement. Rev.
Francis f. Clark. is still in the pri,ne
Of life and is the beloved leader of the
great organization which has grown
from the little society he organized in
connection with the first church to
which he was called as pastor after
leaving Andover Theological Seminary.
For the past 20 years he has devoted
all his time to the extension and thor
Ough organization of Christian En-
deavor work. making his headquarters
in Boston when not journeying around
the world.
The past year has seen no cessation
in the activities and growth Of this
wonderful organization. There are
unions in almost every land and con-
Quoted in almost every language under

support hospitals and do work in the

work. Last years worlds convention
was held in. Geneva, Switzerland, a
cosmopolitan and brilliant gathering to
which specially chartered steamships
bore the American delegates.
The organization is one of the world s
greatest forces for good, and Maine
may well be proud that it had its origin
here. No one can be a pessimist who

valuable contents in case of foreign
war to the shot and shell of the en-
envy The same reason holds now.
There is in the present edifice ample
room for the traEsac tiOn Of business by
all the State departments, little
crowding for three months once in
every two years, but this could be
avoided by the construction or lease of
an inexpensive building for storage, as
the Governor suggested in his mes
sage.
The present capital is at the centre of
population. easily accessible from every
part of the State. And that certainly is
a big argument why it should remain in
Augusta. While the census shows that
the most rapid growth of population is
in the eastern part of the State, what
sense is there in removing the capital
to the western extreme, farther away
from the masses of the people? There
has been some talk about the price of
board and hotel accommodations.
These are always more expensive in a
large city than in small one. But We
notice that legislators have more and
more drifted away from hotel life, and
are either keeping house, or living at
boarding houses. No city in Maine has
a more ample supply of these than Au-
gusta, and we find the most complete
satisfaction expressed on every hand
at the accommodations: and prices.
Legislators are well housed and fed at
very reasonable rates. when the high
price of provisions is taken into ac-
count.
While we have already given ample
| reasons for opposing removal, another
remains which is considered by many
as the vital one-the, cost. 1t would
open the gates to graft. graft, graft. of
the most wholesale character. No

$500, 900 would be sunk in the lot and

| there? Not much. 1t would reach
the great sum of ten or fifteen millions
before the work was completed. Look
at the experience of two states that
have recently passed through the try

| The state of Pennsylvania appropriat-
ed $4,0O000O for the construction of
capitol. 1t cost. without Furniture,

has already cost s$0.00O,OOO, and por-
lions of the foundation are settling,
and must be rebuilt.
In last falls campaign the platforms
of both political parties bristled with
pledges of economy in public expendi-
lures. The Legislature has passed
just appropriation bill carrying more
than Il million dollars and another bill
will follow later. Worthy objects have
been waiting for years with out
stretched hands, asking for help. Will
the Legislature. without a petition
from single voter, plunge into this
extravaganza the end Of which no one

The Greatest Good.

1t borders on the trite to say that 4
state government and the conduct of
that government is based on the theory
Of the greatest good to the greatest
number. The fact remains however,
that there is always a latent tendency
to overlook this truth-a tendency too
which does not always remain latent
but accepting the theory it stin re-
mains true that the location of the seat
OF the state government is a matter to
be considered in it's light as carefully
as the working Of any other part Of
the machinery Of state. The capital
belongs to the whole state, and any
change Of location should be governed
by the wishes of the whole state. And
when such a change involves the ex-
penditure of large sum of the peo-
pies money which II available might
otherwise be profitably applied in 9TH
er public works the application of the
principle IN the consideration of the
question because all the more impera-
tive. With this in mind certain peril
nent questions arise. Aside from the
fact that Maine has her wealth of his
toric memories and traditions bound Sp
in the present State House, which
would be inevitably lost were it aban-
doned. there comes the point Of the
greatest good to the greatest number.
Would enough residents of the State

manufacturer and all other producers
OF Maine prefer to see the money de-
voted to other works, such as good
roads. more schools. maintenance of
bridges, the support Of churches and
the reduction of the State debt? Migkt
it not we'll be the verdict of the people
Of the whole State in whose hands the
question should rest that the State
cannot afford to Increase its burden OF
Indebtedness and taxation in such a
cause? What would be the advantages
of moving the capital? Would they be
sufficient to compensate for an expendi-
ture which borders on extravaganza
Would the greatest number get the
most good out OF money spent in this
way as compared to other public
works? Would the whole State
benefit and benefi. millions of dollars

should be answered.: the points which
should be considered.

The Dumb Animals Friend.

The cats and dogs of the land never
had better friend than Miss Elizabeth
Morris of Philadelphia who died this
week at the age Of so years. Most of
us never heard her name, but if dumb
animals have any method Of COM
munication there is now deep and gen.
eral mourning among them. 1t was
| Miss Morris who founded in 1874 at 1912
Lombard street, Philadelphia, the first
| association in the world for the relief
of homeless and suffering animals.
She was president of the enterprise.
and directed the affairs of the refuge
even during her last illness.
The work of caring for stray animals
was earlier begun in her own home on
Fine street. She picked up stray ami
mails from the streets, finding homes for
such as she could, but the majority.
mostly cats, were chloroformed and
buried in the yard in the rear of her
home. Her thought and care became
contagious, ana MANY people ABOUT u
close their homes in the summer asked
Miss Morris for safe places at which to
board their pets. To fill this need the
refuge was opened. and there Miss
Morris substituted carbonic oxide gas
instead of chloroform for the asphyxia-
ton of cats and dogs to be made away
with. Last year the astonishing num-
Der of 81. 1871 animals We're asphyxiated.
The initiative of Miss Morris led to the
establishment of institutions similar to
hers in other large cities and in Eng
| land, ireland, France and other coun-
| tries. She received many compli-
mentary notices in foreign newspapers
and letters from animal lovers abroad,
and requests for an account of her
work became SO frequent that Miss
Morris felt obliged to publish book
telling Of her work. The cause to
which she devoted her life was a no.
BILE and humane one, and her memory
should be honored and her good ex-
ample followed.

MAINE EDITORIAL COMMENT.
No Demand From the People.
(Somerset Reporter.l

\oOIIlerSel ItepOIleI.J
An attempt is being made by few
ambitious and selfish politicians tC
stampede the Legislature into the hasty
action of the removal of the State capt.
tai to Portland. We cannot believe there
is the possibility Of success, for we
have confidence in the good judgment
and common sense of the members OF
the Legislature of both political parties
1t is not a political question, but clear
business proposition.
There is no demand for this from the
people. Not a single petition has been
presented to the Legs asking for
the removal. not line has appeared in
a State newspaper favOring a removal
or giving a single reason for the pro-
po3ed change.
The monstrous proposition is 20 spend
from eight to ter millions of the peo-
pies money without anybody asking
for it. Would the people who sent
their Legislators here to represent them,
tolerate such thing for a minute
This proposition was made a few years
ago. not being based on a single petit
ton, and it utterly failed.
