There is no possible foundation for
such a report. Gov. Hughes is not a

permission to present his name to the
Chicago convention. 1t will be pre-
sented and he will stay in the race
until the convention dominates him or
somebody else. The supporters Of our
friend the genial Secretary of War
must be worse scared than we sup
posed. They know and we know that
Gov. Hughes is gaining positive
strength every day. We have studied
carefully the published reports from
the Taft headquarters and Hughes has
at least twenty-five delegates sure for
him who are now claimed in the Taft
column. Despite all canards and re-
ports we shall not lose our good tenn
per. We shall speak no word and
write no line that will make it difficult
for us to support Secretary Taft should
the convention nominate him. We are

enthusiastic young friends on the other
side. 1t will be more comfortable for
them after the convention has nomi-
mated Hughes if they will say moth

it unpleasant for them as good Re-
puhlicans to support the Governor. as
they will probably have to. This is
the second signal of distress hoisted
by the enemy within a week.

After a lapse of 1876 years all that
il mortaisof the great, scholar and seer
Emanuel Swedenhorg was taken from
the vault under an. English church last
week and placed On a Swedish cruiser
for conveydNce u Sweden. 1t is a
tardy honor which the Swedish gov
ernment is doing % the famous son of
Sweden. blt.~it serves to draw the
worlds attention to the lifework. and
especially to the religious teachings of
the remarkable man.. 1t Is now more
than $50 years since Emanuel Sweden-
borg, after having won distinction as
n scholar and statesman, retired from
the service of the Swedish government
and entered upon what he declared to
be. and what thousands have since be-
lieved to be, divinely inspired mis-
sion. The work for which he declared
himself to be divinely chosen is moth
ing less than what those who accept
his teachings regard as revelation OF
the underlying spiritual meaning Of
the Old and New Testaments.

Battle Of the Sexes.

(CQlCdSO RoCOfO-f1erdlQJ.
In meeting of the Austin Woman's
club Monday Mrs. Plummer made a
humorous criticism on the character
and performances of man, who, she
said. significantly, was created i'm
mediately after the brutes. And in
Currant Literature for April there is a
symposium by a lot of anonymous
philosophers, such as a street car con-
ductor, tenement-hOuse commits
sioner and a judge-they were afraid
or ashamed to give their Names
who cheerfully express the opinion
that women, as a sex, are. wholly
destitute of honor.
1t is singular freak of human
nature that whenever a person be-
comes irritated by the character of
conduct of another person the fault
is ultimately attributed to the Offend
ing persons religion. nationality or
sex. This laundering conclusion
may be the result of a prejudice
against a certain religion. nationality
or sex, or it may be the effect of sheer
shallowness and ignorance. But if it
is not the result of prejudice it is sure
to beget it.
The harsh criticisms of women by
viewed in this light. They betray an
utter absence of close observation and
reasoning. And where the criticisms
are not jocose they are to be de-
precated, as tending to produce what
are called men haters and women
haters, and to give false ideas of life.

Women's War on Rum.
New York WORLDLY


Illinois, under the local option law
business and added 20 counties to the
II which had previously declared for
entire prohibition. Nearly one-third
of the state is now dry. Several hum
dred Nebraska townships and 10 out
of IS towns in Colorado voted against
saloons. In Michigan on Monday the
anti saloon vote won in ten out of IA
counties.
The progress. of the prohibition
wave through the states of the middle
west is not less remarkable than its
sweep of the south. In local option
the opponents Of the saloon have
found their most effective weapon. 1t
yet retains it's hold in the cities.
The almost uniform fate of the
saloon, however, when presented as a
local issue in the country districts
raises the expectation that it will
eventually succumb to the more
slowly aroused moral sentiment of the
larger centers of population.
A noteworthy feature of the anti
saloon crusade in the west, as was the
case in the south, is the active
participation of women. The Illinois
church choirs in white singing before
the saloon doors, the professions of
Sunday school children, the solicita-
ton of votes by women and their use
of their carriages to convey voters to
the polls, the ringing of church bells,
the prayers, the doxology sung on the
street corners-this is campaigning of
a kind which has had no parallel since
abolition times. A Primrose league
canvass or the sAffragettes storming
the doors of parliament exhibit no
more spectacular electoral tactics.
A good deal of the spirit of '76 ap-
pears to have cropped out in the
Illinois women who have enlisted to
conquer the demon rum.

GOSSIP OF THE ORANGES.

\ most enjoyable feature of the re-
cent Pomona meeting at Bucksport
was the presentation by Worthy Mas
ter Grieve, in behalf of Hancock Po-
mona, of a handsome badge to Past
Master Hiram Hartman in token Of
his efficient service and the esteem in
which he is held in the grange. Though
taken by surprise, Mr. Hartman was
at no loss for words of appreciation
for the remembrance.
At the last regular meeting of Ben
ton Grange, arrangements were made
for the holding of an all-day meeting
to be held April at its hall at Benton
Station. The State Master c. S. Stet-
son, of Greene. will be present and adj
dress the assembly and give instruc-
tons. A dinner will be served by the
ladies' Of the Grange. State Lecturer
w. ]. Thompson has been invited to be
present. Ar invitation has been ex-
tended to Winslow and Victor Oranges
to be. represented. Winslow Grange
has been requested to furnish a pro-
gram for the occasion.
The last meeting in March at East
Eddington Grange was an interesting
one. the question for the evening being
on resubmission. It was voted to hold
an all-day session, April II, it being
the 18th anniversary Of this grange.

tertainment.

Fighting the Moth Pest.
Brunswick Record.)

The appropriation of $2500OO by Con-
gress towards the eXtermina ton OF
the brcwn-tail and gypsy moths in
New England, which is assured by the
action of the House last week, will be
great help in providing means for
carrying on the fight in Maine against
these pests. The State and town au-
thorities, however, cannot afford, to
lessen their labors or this account, but
rather should work with renewed de-
termination to get rid of the moths
before they have an opportunity to
spread still farther. A quarter of a
million is a generous contribution, but
in view of the millions that have been
spent in Massachusetts it would be
unwise to anticipate too great results
from this proposed action of the fed
eral government.

The Sensible Rule.

Gardner Reporter-Journal,
The Maine colleges do not consider
student who plays base ball for
money during his summer vacation a
professional. and it is not considered
bar to his playing on his college
team. That is the sensible view to
take of 1t, for it ought to make no diff
ference whether he earns his money
by playing ball or otherwise. Some of
the other colleges have adopted the
same position. and others no doubt
will. A man who is bonafide student
ut college should be eligible to repre-
sent it in athletic games. regardless of
what he has done outside of the col
lege.

The new state of Oklahoma started
off without any provision for a state
militia and the legislature does not
seem disposed to make any such pro-
vision. A bill for raising a state
militia was killed last week in the
legislature through the opposition of
the labor unions whose leaders feared
that 4 militia might be used in time of
strikes. This is rather an unfortu-
nate attitude for labor leaders to take.
Moreover, the recent Nevada, expert
ence should have taught them that the
regular army can be made use of in
states that have no militias, provided
that the governor is disposed to ask
for United States troops. Nevada now
has raised a state militia, as the re-
suit of the winters happenings.

Through the woodland silence thrills
For the green fields and the meadows,
And the glory of the nils!
