Bad Men in Massachusetts,.

The country accepts, as a matter of
fact, reports Of bad men in the west
and is little disturbed when it reads of
the commission of some highway crime
in what was once the borderland, but
to hear that bad men" are rampaging
in Massachusetts must certainly shock
the universe. Yet, we are told by the
staid and sage Boston Transcript that
I'VE have our bad men in Massachu-
sets as we'll as in the new far west"
In Massachusetts, that state of
puritanism and culture, blue laws and
baked beans, with its Plymouth Rock,
its Boston Common and Faneuil hall,
the very cradle of liberty" If one
of Boston's own papers had not told
us this we would not believe it. But
the fact is, in chaste Springfield an
atrocity was recently committed that
appalled, the entire state and soon
after a sheriff at Charlemont was wan
tonly murdered. Both crimes were
dastardly and we'll might appall Mass
achusetts, but still it will be hard for
the world to realize that "even in
Massachusetts we have our bad men. "
Why, they speak of like the far
new west" The far new west has long
ago forgotten that it had any bad men.
Everybody is good out here, and if
things get much worse in Massachu-
sets we may have to send a few re-
formed bad men down there to
straighten them out and they could do
it without any difficulty, for they
know how to handle the shooting irons.
Or, perhaps, we might spare the cele-
brated Beatrice bloodhounds that have
been so instrumental in running the
last remnant of bad men" out of this
country

Completing the Record.

With the enactment of the railroad
and statehood bills congress prac-
tically completes its labors and prob
ably will be able to adjourn this week.
This has been one of the most active
and notable sessions OF late years and,
amount of constructive legislation de-
manded by the people in their election
of the republican ticket in 1908, for
the program just fulfilled represents
the principal items in the platform and
pledges Mr.. Taft and his party offered
as their promise to the voters two
years ago. The administration and re-
publican majority in congress may well
afford to face the people in the fall
campaign with the confident expecta-
ton of receiving their acclaim of well
done" and a vote of endorsement. -.
Among the more prominent and i'm
portant measures enacted since the
congress was elected are the tariff,
railroad, postal savings statehood bills,
some conservation measures, the bill
creating the bureau Cf mines ard the
appropriation enabling tie tariff board
to prosecute it's Investigations OF the
operation of the maximum and mini
mum clause, making 1t the equivalent
of a permanent tariff commission.
Every one Of these bills contains pro-
visions which the country has needed
and demanded and they, together with
the minor work of congress, constitute
all the record of achievement the ma
jority party will require this fall.
The perfection of this program has
not been accomplished without the
most persistent obstruction and irri-
tating filibustering on the minority's
part, even when measures the demo-
cratic party in its own platform had
demanded were under discussion. For
political reasons the opposition would
like to have defeated the statehood and
postal savings bills, but we're overrid-
den by republican persistence.

Talks for people who sell things

only infrequently. The eye is not accus-
| toned to reading lines set entirely In capt.
| tai letters. Most printers will insist in
setting strong and important lines in an
! advert sement, In capital letters. Their
notion is. that the fact that the line is diff
ferent, or peculiar, brings 1t to the notice
OF the reader with greater force. 1t is,
of course, true, that line that is differ
ent from the body type matter .stands out
in contrast. 1t also sometimes indicates
that the writer has caused the different
type to be used for the sake of bringing
out stronger what he considers of Inn
portance. The strongest line in an adver-
tisement, however, is one that the eye
catches ct the first glance, and which Is
most easily read. If it is your purpose to
get the attention of the person who cas-
ually glances over the page of your ad-
vertisement, it is desirable to bring out the
heading, the name, some phrase in such
a way that 1t Will be read If the readers
eye wanders to the space where your ad-
vertisement is located. TO accomplish this
contrast is needed and larger type of
heavier face should be used. With bold
face type, which most resembles the
Roman face, the type which is read most
easily, is logically the strongest line that
can be used
Another thing that has grown up among
printers is to begin with capitals most of
the words in lower case line, which is
used for heading. The result is that the
eye bumps into the capital letters as 1t
travels along the line, travelling much the
same as a wagon would over a cobble-stone
pavement.
Below are three lines illustrating the
same line set in capitals, in lower case with
the principal words capitalized, and in
lower case without superfluous capitaliza-

SCIENTIFIC MOTHERHOOD.

John Kondrick Bangs in Judge.
Oh, dear met oh, dear me!
That such thing should ever be
That motherhood should come at last
And 'mongst the sciences be Classed
With chemistry, astronomy,
And gee and entO mology!
I'm mighty glad you may be sure,
My mother was an amateur!
The scientific mother joys
Her infant like a thing OF cogs;
And cradles now no longer rock,
Lest nervous systems they shall shooh
The child is placed within a sling
sort of anuseptic swing
And not too fast, and not too slow,
Fair science sways him to and ire
The little babes no longer pressed
Against his untaught mothers breast,
But held at arms length, so that he
May gather girth eNpansiVely;
Ana when has little tummys filled
With milk and pepsln thrice distilled,
He goes 70 dreamiand by the rule
on couch of medicated wool.
The mothers kiss Is obsolete,
AS also is her hug so sweet;
Because that dearest kiss OF youth
Holds microbes dangerous, torsooth!
And every snow OF mother-love,
With eyes lit like the skies above
Is quite forbidden, lest II serve
10 enervate the infant nerve,
No scientific mother cheers
win DhDN ldlk the lnIaiN ears,
But molds his character with speech
Such as the icy pursts teach;
And lullabies ana soothing hand
To send him into Sunderland
Cold science treats with smiths and shrusp-
As mere sentimental drugs.
And when, perchance the science kid
Hath done some thing that is forbid,
He does not feel the gentle tap
Face down across his mothers lap;
But, shvering with fear and awe,
Is taught the majesty of law
That Justice holds a flaming sword,
Though virtues still its own reward.
And when the child Of science plays,
his all in scientific ways.
He may not pull his daddy's hair,
Or play his granddad is a bear
A game like that would give, you see,
False notions Of zoology;
And fairy tales are all tabooed
BY scientific motherhood.
Poor little chap, by science bred,
On rule and regula ton fed!
To go through all your babytime
With ne'er song or nursery rhyme,
And not bit of natural play
To cheer you on your baby way
Great Scott I'm mighty glad, I'm sure
My mother was an amateur!
