ly dependent upon the care we give them.
1t is Unnecessary for me 20 enter into de-
tail, for the unsatisfactory condition OF our
school buildings is well known to every citi-
zen.
That the city needs a modern school
building in what was formerly known as
the Central District, is acknowledged by
every one, but the problem of how to OBJ
tain it remains unsOlved.
The method of creating a fund by setting
aside a sum each year to be used for the
erection of a SchoOlhouse at some future
tme-as inaugurated by the last city gov
ernment-is, according to the written opin-
ion of the city solicitor, absolutely illegal.
This method, therefore, which seemed to
promise a solution of the problem, cannot
be continued Withou. danger OF causing the
city serious trouble in the collection of
taxes. l regret to say it must be abandoned.
Unless the city regains control of her
railroad stock see little hope of erecting a
new school building until after the city
comes in possession of Haytord Block,
which will be in about six years.
Our immediate needs demand that such
temporary repairs be made on the present
school buildings as shall be required to en-
sure safety and the best sanitary conditions
possible under the circumstances l ac-
knowledge that this is wholly undesirable,
but we face conditions not theories.
1t will be noticed that the building in
spector practically condemned the High
school building and this influenced the
school committee to send for an. expert to
examine the structure and report upon its
condition. Horace Purington of Waterville,
a well known builder and contractor, came
to Belfast in March and made thorough
inspection of the High school building. His
report, dated Waterville, March %, 1907,
was published in full in The journal OF
April 4th, and need not be given now in

\ COMPARISON.

The New York World makes the fol-
lowing comparison between Japan and
the United States, which is not void of
Interest at this time:
The population Of Japan is less than
100000. The population of the Unit
ed States is nearly s5,O00,o0o The debt
of Japan-taking the statesmans
Yeor-Bo figures throughout to In
sure uniformity OF comparson--is
about sS5,OOOOOO. The net debt of the
United States is 1864, 1851. Japans
revenue is less than s25O,0Oo.OOO. while
the revenue of the United States is
N62,o0O,oo0. Against 20 first-class mod
ern American battleships Japan has
only 10. Against our 8 first-class and
seeond-class armored cruisers Japan
has .. Against our 10 protected cruls-
ers Japan has H.
TO this should be added the fact that
American patriotism, If 1t comes to a
test, WIN be found as genuine and en-
thuslastic as that of Japan American
naval skill has never been outmaneuy-
cred on the high seas. American BRAY
cry has stood unflinchlngly at the guns
IN greatest stress, and American endur-
ance has defod fatigue. Spain learned
that lesson In two brief engagements.
The Iapanoses statesmen are no fools.
They know the facts. 1t Is very un-
likely that the LIMOGES OF that country
win be able TO force a conflict that
would be fatal TO Japanese interests.

course, no real wark talk at either To-

weeks before the American fleet starts

be long time on the way. The send

ton TO the move on the part OF the

self a casus belli for the United States

San Francisco or Seattle as the Japs

three Japanese ships recently stuck
their noses In friendly way into the
harbor OF New York.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE.

According TO newspaper reports,
Miss Phoebe Couzins has abandoned
the cause of woman suffrage, She has
acknowledged, the reports say. that
she has made a mistake In demanding
the franchise for women. She is
quoted as having said Il have watch
ed the results of woman suffrage in
the states where the ballot is given,
and ] and no material Improvement
in the morals Of the community, or in
legislative advancement"
II do not believe she continues,
'thRt women are constructed by nat
ure for the rough-and- tumble fight Of
the political arena. do not hold that
women are any better than men for
they are not. There are Just as many
good women as there are men, and
no more. Women are not consistent
They do not look into the future ana
realize in what the acts of the pres
ent are apt to result. Women's votes
would never correct the evils that may
exist in present day politics. / am
through forever with woman suffrage"
II there is any fault TO find with
the results OF woman suffrage as ex-
ercised In the states where women
vote. this is not due to any heresy N
the doctrine itsels, but to the appllca-
tion OF IL in practice. II there IL no
material improvement In public NOR
ais. where the women vote,
as Miss Couzins Is alleged to
have said, the reason Is that
women, instead of exerting
their influence independently. have
been content to follow the lead of poll
itlcians who have had but little con-
Germ for moral Improvement.
The leading women of Finland have
recently called the attention of their
sisters to this important fact. There
are now several lady members of the
Finnish diet, and while they have af-
tiliated with the old political parties,
they have made 1t their ideal 10 con-
slider the needs of the country rather
than the interests OF the respective
parties TO which they belong Miss
Friberg. one of the members of the
complicated, and even sometimes
completely blocked by the intrigues of
selfish party politicians who wish to
serve the party first. Now, the trout
Bile is that many women have not
brought TO the political life the wom-
anly characteristics so much needed
for its elevation and publication.
They have simply fallen In line with
the party leaders. adding TO the num-
Der of followers and voters hut con-
tributing nothing new to the methods of
contest. Lord Derby declared that
Public life is cursed thing" Be-
cause many men regard il in the same
light they are opposed, TO the utmost,
to the opening of its doors wide to their
mothers, wives. or sisters. But if
women enter the political arena with
the intention of removing from 1t
the seltishness and the other charac-
teristIcs Lord Derby had in view. they
have at least an important mission
to fill as women, and II they go about
that mission intelligently and with en-
thusiasm, their work win not be In
vain.

\ HOT SUBJECT.

The subject " Hell seems TO be
quite popular as theme OF pulpit
orntory. The New York sun quotes
the Rev. J. Benjamin Lawrence as
having explained to his hearers the
other day that the place OF torment
IS found in space somewhere, on dark
globes, But the reverend gentleman
called his sermon "Hell Viewed From
the Scientific Standpoint" and his ar
gument must be considered as he pre-
sented It, Beginning with general
description Of the ether and its pro-
perties he proceeded.
''Now. sine. it is not known that
this iuminiferous ether is an all-per-
vading substance. IL is logical to hold
that there may be enormous spaces
devoid of ether in which could exist
great masses Of ponderable matter
which coud emit no light nor heat,
Such could exist forever and not be
detected by man, aided by the best
instruments known
Then he went on to speak Of the
nature Of these dark bodies, to ask
what they We're and TO inquire into
the reason Of their existence:
Il ask what are these dark globes?
Might not God, by Ills infinite power
through the operation OF the divine
laws of nature, have fenced these
globes so that no luminiferous ather
could reach them2 Under such con-
dtions. dark suns would burn, COM
bustion be carried on without emit
ting heat, fuel consumed unseen and

heated. sun or planet once molten
would remain forever melted. For
the loss Of hent is simply the abstrac-
ton of molecular action by the ether
The conclusion is obvious. Those
dark globes. never hitherto explained,
are. In fact, the center of outer dark
ness and eternal fire. Therefore"
says the reverend gentleman, from
the standpoint of science n material
hell is not only probable but highly
possible.
The subject has not been quite SO
entertainingly discussed. since che ia
NOUS Jung Sitting explained that the
place OF torment il in the center of the
earth and that the fire Is supplied by
the electricity of the soul, generated
by the constant play of the passions.
According to an item in the New
York Mail the Rev. Heb Hetzel Copp,
a Presbyterian, has also taken UP this
highly edifying subject. He demon-
strates. however that the last gath
ering place of the wicked is the sun,
Scientists tell us that that orb ~
pretty hot, rs measured by terrestrial
standards. and also that no one knows
for certain how the heat is originated.
According to the New York Mail Mr.,
Ccpp maintains that "the heat of the
sun is kept up by the burning OF sin
ners. the sun being really the seat
and scene of the internal regions"
The world has had many cranks
volunteering opinions about every
possible subject, Most errors arise
from the fact that people. as Locke
In his time 50 ably demonstrated. do
rot recognize the limitations of hui
man understanding. Men who know
nothing about the boundaries be-
tween the movable and unknowable,
and who do not accept divine revela-
tlon as a guide beyond those bound
aries are sure to commit all kinds of
mistakes of Judgment and to form
all kinds of foolish ideas.
