They are there today Mr. Thompson
has lived among them for years. He
knows their idiosyncrasies, their habits
and all the attributes of their individual
characteristics, Once we have looked
into the hearts of these people of the
New Hampshire hills, studied their hab-
it's and learned to really know them.
then we have learned to know the
simple life" folk in all the various sec
tons of the country. Those of us(and
what a goodly number we are) who spent
our childhood days on the farm can find
plenty of enjoyment of the reminiscent
kind in The Old Homestead" Does it
not recall the youthful games so peculiar
to the country boy. The chasing of the
elusive butterfly. The long afternoons
hunt for nuts in the fall and berries in
the summer The visit to the dear little
brook in nciShboring village where we
fiShcd for hours with no other tackle
than birch rod, a piece of string and a
bent pin, with a worm for bait. We all
know our own particular Uncle John, Cy
Prime, Aunt Matilda, Seth Perkins. and
foolish Eb Ganzey, of whom we made
much sport. and for which we are now
sorry and would give anything to see
him again just for the sake of showing
him some kindness for the pranks we
played upon him. These characters are
real to us, even though we see them on
the stage. for we know them of yore. and
Mr.. Thompson was the first to transplant
them from their native hearths and
bring them before US in counterfeit pre-
sentiment upon the stage. the very en-
bodiment of all that we once knew them
to be. 1t is unnecessary to say that
none of the details of scenic surround
ings have been omitted to make this
charming play an ideal symposium of
life in country village.

EDITOR REGISTER:
Ii your w. @. T. U. editor will
read my article again, forgetting
the heading, she will doubtless
find less cause to think there was a
brainstorm at this end of the line.
The article under consideration
was marked "Selected, +" therefore,
not from her pen. But since she
has seen fit to stand for it, | sup
pose the gallant thing to do is TO
apologize for calling the author a
capitalist writer, or a fool, SO I
beg her pardon for the statement.
Since she has admitted that "force
of circumstances throws thousands
out Of employment" and "know-
ing thatif not idle altogether be-
cause Of intemperance, he may
become incorporate and FIJI a
drunkard's grave because Of idle
ness"
We are in perfect harmony on
these two questions, and | con-
gratulate her on her exhibition OF
tact In seeming to antagonize, yet
really admitting all her opponents
contentious. Lest, however, the
public doubt US both, let me quote
from Robert Hunters book, "Pov-
erty." On page 134 | find the fol-
lowing:

To Intimidate The Press.

Criminal proceedings against ed
itors and responsible officials of
newspapers, charged with stepping
beyond the limits of privilege in
the publication of articles charg-
ing individuals with corrnpt con-
duct in connection with the Pana-
ma Canal with a view to punish
ing them would be entirely proper.
That the persons who feel ag-
grieved should take advantage of
the opportunities provided by law
to have Joseph Pulitzer and Dell
avan Smith indicted and punished
for charges that are obviously an
offense against society if untrue is
eminently proper.
But the effort begun at the in
stigation and under the encourage
ment of Mr.. Roosevelt had a diff
ferent purpose than the protection
of society through the punishment
of malefactors. The fixed object
has been to establish q precedent
under which the action Of the
United States Government. as per-
formed by those administering it,
l
will hereafter be criticised at the
peril Of the critic. The real intent
is to maintain system of intim-
idation which will forever curtail
the right of free speech and free
press.
For the vindication Of his own
action in regard to the canal Mr.
Roosevelt, swollen with a sense Of
his infallibility, probably cares
not a iot. For the punishment Of
the particular offenders in this
case he probably cares a little, but
to secure a law Of lese majestic,
however modified in form, he cares
very much. To hold it hanging

EDITOR REGISTER:
Your paper, issue Feb. 4, contains
a letter signed 81. H. Martin, M.
D." wherein he furiously assails
the claims Of Osteopathy. Indica-
tive of the spirit peryading his let
ter, permit me to quote therefrom
its opening paragraph;
An article in the REGIETER last
week, taken from an Osteopathic
publication, causes me to use this
means of pointing out to the un-
wary how easily they may be sep
arated from hard-earned cash by
the arts of certain slick-tongued
quacks.
Then he specifically attacks the
Osteopathic treatment of hernia,
as set forth in Osteopathtc Health,
and printed in the REGISTER's S is
sue of Jan. 28. To this l will not
burden your columns with a reply,
excepting to cite the fact that many
complete cures of hernia through
Osteopathic treatment refute his
assertions. | do not claim that in
all instances hernia is curable;
but if, as DR.. Martin claims, per-
manent cures are to be obtained
through the use of the knife, the
government ought to employ that
infallible method; it would there
by save many thousands Of dol
lars yearly paid to pensioners dis
abled by rupture.
Speaking Of the founder of Oste-
opathy, whom he designates "a
certain ignorant old DOCTOR" DR..
Martin says: II have it from
good authority that when he de-
cided to legalize his imaginary
discovery, and was called before
the State Board of Health, and
was asked to describe the Circle
of Willis Ia remarkable anasto-
mosis of arteries at the base of the
brain, he was compelled to admit
his ignorance Of any such struc-
ture." / do not know the ''good
authority"-the doctor ought to
have given his name-and deny
the statement. I doubt that DR..
Still ever was before the Board of
Health. When the question of
giving legal standing to Osteop-
athy was before the Legislature,
three Osteopaths-Drs. Smith (not
the undersigned), Littlejohn and
Hildreth-were put through the
mill by legislative committee Of
sixteen, eleven Of whom were
Irregular doctors. DR.. G.. w.
Farrar was one of them. Ask him
if the D. O.'s were Ignorant" or
"old,' or deficient in knowledge
Of the profession.

athy-being a graduate Of Kinks
