Holidays Here and Abroad.

Over in Russia they are considering
the adjustment IF % holidays which
are now observed. Yet, If the proposed
reform is brought about, as now seems
likely. Russia will still have more legal
holidays than any other country. It's
total number at present is no less than
u, so that with the % abolished it will
still have g. Germany has 60 national
holidays, England IS and France Sc.
This seems a great many to us in this
country where there are relatively few
holidays. AS matter of fact. the
United States has no national holidays.
The Presidents proclamation of holt
day, like THANKSGIVING, making IT legal
only in the district of Columbia and in
the territories, though as matter of
practice there are various holidays au-
therized by all the states so that they
are, to ali intents and purposes, nation
al in their observance.
A few, like Independence day and
Christmas, are observed in all the
states while others are observed in only
few Of them, the number differing
from half dozen to dozen in the va
rious states. In this State we have
nine, namely New Years day. Wash
ingtons birthday. Patriots day. Arbor
day early in May, Memorial day, indie
pendence day, Labor day. Thanksgiving
and Christmas. Massachusetts is the
only other state celebrating Patriots
day. and that also is one of the three
states in which New Years day is not
a legal holiday. the others being Missis-
sippi and New Hampshire. Maine is
day is not holiday. Several of
the states have holidays peculiar
to themselves, as the anniversary
of the battle of New Orleans. jan
uary 8, in Louisiana. Pioneers
day. July "a, in Utah. Bennington
day. August 16, in Vermont. Admission
day, September 9. in California. De-
tenders day. September IL. in Mary
land. the anniversary of the battle of
San Jacinto. April 81. in Texas. etc.
Half dozen southern states ccle-
bzrate June 3. which is the anniversary
of Jefferson Davis birth. All of the
southern states have Memorial day
which falls IN some April Is and in
made May 90. the anniversary of the
signing of the so-called Mecklenburg
declaration of independence. a legal hol
iday throughout the state and still
celebrates July along with the rest of
the country. This year the celebration
of the Mecklenburg declaration is to be
honored by the presence of President
Taft. Sunday is of course holiday
throughout the country, and for that
matter it is in tlc different countries
mentioned at the opening of this edi-
torial, but the great number of holi
days celeDfateG IN tnoSe countries is III
addition to the Sundays and is num-
Der quite beyond our comprehension
half IL score or so each year. A great
number OF the holidays in Russia, and
throughout Europe for that matter,
are religious observances, but business
is suspended and so many holidays cam
not fail TO mean great lcssening of
the national efficiency in production.

Alexander V. Wilson. an aeronaut of
Bar Harbor. Maine. is quoted by Bos-
ton newspaper as expressing the opn-
ion that the balloon might be extremely
useful to persons engaged in smuggling.
Mr.. Wilson says that even with the
cheapest kind of balloon. the bag filled
with hot air such AS is used by the par
achute choppers at the country fairs.
it would be possible to bring goods of
considerable weight across the border.

silks and satins and costly gems. could
if he ST. desired bring in a living cargo.
He might for example. carry over the

of the Maine aeronaut cause any great
cornmotion in government circles but
what he saws is not entirely fanciful.
