FAKE DIARY OF NOAH.

or lakes lime"

The St. Adams Messenger calls
attention to the fact that eX-Gov.
Edward c. Smith, while governor
in 1898, made recommendation
which was enacted into a law at the
last session of the legislature. We
quote from the Messenger;
"In 1893 Gov. Edward c. Smith
advocated the reconstruction OF the
states auditing system, the remodel
ing of its methods of accounting and
a general shake-up in the state audi
tors office. Eight years later Gov.
Fletcher d, Proctor is employed by
law to appoint commission to do a
part OF this work. 1t takes time for
a good idea to take root and bear
fruit"
Both Gov. Smith and Gov,
Fletcher ID. Proctor were members
of the Legislature Of 1890. If we
remember correctly, neither of them
agreed fully with the recommenda-
tions of Gov. Page, but it seems
quite apparent that Gov, Pages rec
concentrations at that session 'took
root" and while only part of them
came to fruition during his term of
office, they furnished substantially
the entire ground work of large
majority Of the most important laws
passed by the legislature Of 1906.
BY referring to Gov. Pages in
augural message, it will be found
that he made the following seven
distinct and specific recommends.
tons:
Ist-The Australian ballot.
2d-Restriction Of child labor.
3d--A readjustment of the bur-
dens for the support of schools.
4th-The granting of additional
powers to the railroad commission
5th-The abolition of railroad
passes.
6th--Weekly payments.
7th-An increase in the amount of
taxes to be paid by railroads.
With the exception of the first,
which became law in 1890, every
one Of these measures were enacted
into statutes in 1906. "The mills
Of the gods grind slow, but they
grind exceeding small" "The leaven
of 1890" has worked slowly and un-
der adverse conditions, but an edu-
Gated public sentiment has finally
forced the adoption Of practically the
entire list of Gov. Pages recon-
mendations. -Morrisville News and

Boston and shoss.

The record of Boston's shoe ship
ments for 1906 is now complete,
and, while the last six months did
not see SO great shipments as the
earlier months of the year, the
quantity shipped exceeded the rec
ord Of any previous year. The to-
tai shipments for 1906 were 5,179,-
543 cases as compared with $780,
O38 cases for 1905, 4,Y3O,339 for
1904 and 5,O94,436 for 1908. If
these cases contained twenty-five
pairs Of shoes each, which is a con-
servative estimate, the number of
pairs of shoes shipped from Boston
alone to all parts of the country
and abroad would amount to 49,
$40, 946, or more than enough to
give every inhabitant of the United
States a pair and some a second
pair.

Conspicuous among her works was
the New England states building at

SHEDDING THEIR INITIALS.

The newest fad in the muck rake
world seems to be the dropping of
initials in the names of the great
editors and publishers. Years ago
State Librarian Melville q. Dewey
attempted to shed most of his name.
He got rid Of the last '1e" in "AIel-
vile" and the initial "E" and tried
to substitute "i' for the "ey" on
the tail end of dewey" This last
effort was not popular and failed.
The new movement was started by
Cyrus H. X. Curtis Of the Ladies'
Home Journal, who successfully
shook the "EI. K" out of his midst.
This was followed by his editor and
son-in-law, Edward W. Box, who
shelved the "W." Colonel George
Brinton Mcclellan Harvey soon
contented himself with plain
George" and j. Lincoln Steffens
abandoned the a." The most re-
cent one to fall is William 0. In

sired is elegance or simplicity has
not been revealed. - New York
