BRUNSWICK FRATERNAL ORDERS
FRATERNIzING.

The fraternizing of the secret or
ders of Brunswick as demonstrated
by the very pleasant occasion Of last
night when all Of the other orders
of the city We're the guests of the Ma
sons marks new and broader CON
dition among the fraternal orders of
the city generally. The fraternal or
ders is one of the best and most valua-
bic institutions in the world today in
the interest of humanity; they do a
world of good in a sphere distinctly
their own and the bringing of the
brotherhood of man into a close and
a better understanding. The good in
fiuence of the fraternal order on the
young man is marvelous-after all
a youth is like piece of iron that
needs contact with a magnet to give
it the power to attract and the inner
circle of the lodge room serves to
bring the right kind of attraction. the
kind that helps in the formation Of an
upright and useful character. The
man who.joins a secret order of good
reputation finds himself in touch with
the best element of the community
and at once he becomes inspired with
a new respect for himself and for his.
fellow man. He learns new meaning
in brotherhood and charity, and he
learns higher standards of social en-
ioyment with every chance offered to
develop his longing for congenial com;
partnership. M
The fraternal order has a great
mission to work out and SO all the
more shanld it practice fraternity in
its own and in the ranks of other or
ders at the same time safeguarding
its standard of conduct. Last nights
session was one and it makes for a
closer bond of union in the fraternal
orders of Brunswick

HENRY WATTERsoN ON TAFT.

Editor Henry Watterson of the
Louisville Courier Journal seems re-
Gently to have become better acquaint
ed with President Taft, and recently
the veteran editor thus sized him
up: >
THE President has definitely shown
his hand, The man of straw, seeking
to mislead the Voters and succeeding
abundantly, has kicked the platform
Of imposture from under him and
taken his stand flat-footed upon the
terra firma of practical politics. That
was inevitable His effort to pose as
tariff reformer was at best but
clumsy. 1t could deceive only those
who, wanted to be deceived and suffice
those only who sought a pretext for
voting the Republican ticket. 1t was
never intended to outlast the election.
Hence the self styled independent
who affects to be disappointed in Taft
discredits intelligence
To do the President no more than
justice ne cut an awkard figure in
his attempt to dance the tight rope OF
political expediency. He was saved
from instant and ignominious failure
by the famous smile, the pleasant
voice, the sturdy legs the
fair round belly with good capon
lined" in short the whole jocund ex-
terror indicating good fellowship and
invoking confidence.
All the same and all the time he was
and he is a Republican. He is mall
clad, case mated, dyed the wool
Republican. He is Republican of the
School of New England and of Penn
sylvania which teaches that wealth
may be created by legislation and,
having been thus created, that it must
be fostered and protected by legisla-
ton. He is Republican of the kid
ney of Aldrich, who does as he pleases
with the public business and takes
what he wants of the substance to
see him through; and of the ilk of
Cannon, who, whether in the Speakers
chair, or in party caucus, stands pat

THE CAUSE OF POVERTY.

The News is no more an adherent
Of such laws as produce poverty by
giving some men more than a fail
share of the results of production
than the papers that are now de
nouncing them with so much severity
of language, but we do not go to the
extreme of charging them with all
the responsibility for all the idleness
in the country. Taking the city of
New York and its reputed tens of
thousands of idle and suffering peo-
pie, and we do not believe that 10
per cent. of the idlers may be charg-
ed up to any and all laws or any and
all social conditions. The multitude is
the product, in the larger part, of it's
own willful misconduct That conduct
goes back over years, it is true, and in
many of it's individual cases the sins
of the fathers are being visited upon
the children, as was the case as long
ago as Biblical times
There is not a deficiency of work
in the country today, taking it as a
whole. There has never been pc
riod of any length when there was an
actual deficiency of work at some
price for everybody. Overlooking such
temporary disturbances as are caused
by the refusal of men to work for
the wages offered and the refusal of
the employers to pay the wages ask
ed, the temporary shutdown by ca
lamities of various kinds, and all such
matters out of the normal there has
always been work enough for every
body at wages that would sustain life
with reasonable comfort. There is
work enough now. At the most and
the worst the labor is not distributed
to the places where the employment
is to be found.
But take the confirmed and chronic
poor of New York and other great
cities, and their condition may almost
the described as a chosen profession
They prefer poverty and the bread
of charity in New York to manly
independence elsewhere at the cost
of having to work for it. And that is
about the sum of the whole story of
the poverty that supports many thou
sands of human beings in idleness as
we'll as a few hundred dispensers of
charity in comfort Both are bur-
lions to industrious and wage earning
and wealth producing society-the
men who beg and the multitude they
oeg for. But for the professional So.
licitor of aims the ragged and lazy
multitude would disappear in the
struggle for existence-either by
death or going to work. If some way
could only be found to make them
work and give an equivalent for their
existence they would soon lift them
selves above the level they now oc-
cupy.

Topsham, Me-, March 9.-(SpeciaD. =
| An attempt TO kill Postmaster Warren
W. Goud, with the wrecking of the
confectionery store in which the post
office is located and q controversy over
the work of carrying the United States
mails between the local postof1ice and
the Maine Central depot is the outcome
of practical joke perpetrated by To-
cal wags.
Frank Orr, young man about 80
years IF age, has for the past six
years held the contract for carrying
the mails to and from the Topsham
postoffice between the postoflice and
the local Maine Central depot Orr, it
is said, has for some time been partak-
ing more or less freely of intoxicants.
short time ago a number of local
young men informed him that in rec
Cgnition of his efficiency as mail car
rier President Taft had decided to pre-
sent him with a gold watch, which
was about due to arrive through the
for the reward of merit and when it
failed to arrive accused Postmaster
Cloud Of stealing it from the mail. He
also accused the postmaster, as we'll
as his assistant, Miss Edith Willis, of
stealing other things from the mails.
Orr meditated seriously on the fail
ure of the expected watch to arrive
and finally began to make threats of
violence against the postmaster. He
is reported to have on several occa-
sions threatened to kill Postmaster
Goud ard today attempted to put the
threat into execution. When he called
at the postofllce which is in the rear
Of confectionery store, but separated
from ii by d partition, for the mail to
carry to the train he met Miss Willis
and at once took her to task for the
failure Of his watch to arrive. Post
master Goud heard the loud talk and
came out 10 see what was the mat
ter. He finally ordered Orr to leave
the postoffice which the latter refused
to do, repeating his threat to kill the
postmaster.
After making this threat Orr backed
through the door leading to the confec
tionery store and seized a soda bottle
from one of two cases standing near the
soda fountain. With this weapon he
saulted the postmaster, striking him over
the head with such force to break the
bottle. He then seized other bottles and
