THE MASONIC TRIBUTE
To the Memory of King Edward Of
England.

Rev. Ashley A. Smith of the First Univer-
salist church of Belfast went to Portland last
Friday and as Grand Master of the Maine
Grand Lodge of Masons attended the memorial
services in honor of King Edward. At the ex-
ercises conducted under the auspices of the
Portland club Mr.. Smith made brief address
as the representative of the Masonic Grand
Lodge of Maine in which the sentiment of the
brethren of Maine was expressed in the follow
ing eloquent words:
"Our words and our tears mingle to-day
with the mourning of a mighty nation and in
the language of our ancient Scriptures-that
undimmed light in Masonry, we say-'How are
the mighty fallen! How is the strong staff
broken!'
"The mournful martial music of nation S
sorrow sweeps across the seven seas, and
catching some echo of it, we bow in memory
and veneration Of the gracious, gentle, great
and kindly SOUL who for many honored years
held the potent gavel of Masonic Mastership,
and now at the call of the King of Kings and
Lord of Lords, has laid down the sceptre of
dominion and freed from the concealments of
the flesh has touched the unseen and eternal
reality back of all Masonic symbols, and sleeps
with his fathers in honored sepulchre. which
with the last great laureate of his beloved
country who sang of Engands deathless fame,
we, too,
doubt not that for one so true,
There must be other nobler work to do,
And that he wears a truer crown
Than any wreath that we can weave him.
Speak more of his renown,
Lay your earthly fancies down,
And in vast cathedral leave him,
God accept him, Christ receive him.
Governor Fernald followed with this senti-
ment:
"To the memory of one, the ruler of nation,
whom the world mourns today, His Most Ex-
cellent Majesty, the late Edward the Seventh,
king and emperor, whose influence radiates
throughout the world and whose dignifed and
happy reign was made llustrious by his lofty
aim, that peace through justice should reign
among all the people of the earth.'

Eastern Steamship Company. This ar
rangement has been talked of for at least
a quarter Of century. Before the
Crosby Inn was built an official Of the
steamship company said that if Belfast
would build first-class hotel the change,
would be made. Then. it was said we
must have better train facilities and Pull
man car service. 1t was evident, how
ever, that we could not have this Bar
Harbor connection without the additional
wharf accommodation which the Eastern
Steamship Company is now supplying.
In addition to the reasons for this
change mentioned by the Commercial it
may be said that the route from Belfast
to Bar Harbor makes an easier run in
foggy weather and avoids the toughest
part of the bay, as it is practically land
locked, while the scenic attractions from
the start are unequalled anywhere on the
coast.

The annual reports of the several de-
partments of the city government have
been published in the usual form and evil
IDENTIFY without the aid of proof reader,
for typographical errors are numerous.
So far as can be learned from the figures
given the mayors personal organ and the
printing establishment of which he is the
head received $45079 from the city dur
ing the past year. In this connection
read the following sections from Chapter
of the Revised Statutes:
Section SO. No member of a city gov
eminent or selectman of a town, Shall IN
either board of such government, or in
any board of selectmen vote on any
question in which he is pecunlarlly IN
terested, directly or indirectly, and in
which his vote may be decisive; and NO
action of such government or board,
taken by means of such vote, is legal.
Section 49, No member of city gov
eminent shall be interested, directly or
Indirectly, in any contract entered into
while he is member thereof; and con
tracts made in violation hereof are void.
Monday next is Memorial Day, day
set apart for honoring the nations dead
those who gave their lives for their
country. From Hon. L. c. Morse OF
Liberty, Patriotic Instructor of the De-
partment of Maine, we have received
"a Memorial Reminder" and quote the
concluding paragraphs:
1t is especially important that the
meaning Of Memorial Day shall not be
overlooked. While it is not day of
mourning, but rather one of thankful
ness for the results won by the valor of
those we honor, it is not appropriate or
respectful that the day should be devoted
to sports and amusements.
As with tender hearts and gentle hands
we place the little flags and the punches
of flowers, silent tributes of our love and
gratitude, we shall gather inspiration for
the future, and with noble aspiration
and high endeavor determine that, in
voking the blessing of Almighty Goa,
we will do our part, that ga government
of the people, by the people, for the
people shall not perish from the earth. y

Newspaper is Baby's Friend"
BY DIR. S. w. Newmayer,
OF PHILADELPHIA.

Every department of health
SHOULD have it's publicity bureau
iunder the charge of COM
Ipetent newspaper editor, one with
lat least a working knowledge of
medical subjects, especially of
those which relate to public health.
The possibilities of educating the
public mind in campaigns against
infant mortality, or along the lines
of prevention in any other problem
related to public health, by means
of the newspapers, is practically
unlimited.
Most health bureaus are ham,
pered in their work by lack of
funds to carry on their plans. In
sufficient funds for health meas
ures are due to the public them
selves. Appropriations are allotted
by representatives of the people.
While these representatives are
politicians and leaders, with an I'M
deserved reputation for selfishness
and furthering their own interests,
they try to give the people they
represent what they need. To find
these needs they follow publicI
opinion. They want to be asked
by not a few, but many. This pub
lie opinion-your opinions the

City Like Home.
Municipal housekeeping might
be improved, for doth not a wom-
ans eyes see dirt in the corners,
and cobwebs festooned about?
Since in the home, where man and
woman keep united interest,
conditions are always good. So it
will be in the larger civic home.
men and women will have a COM
mon interest, and better under
standing of conditions will result,
when talked over in the family
circle. And the effect will be bene-
fetal for children.
With the intelligent awakening
and knowledge of conditions I'M

world, more practical work can be
done. Men and women, with the
ballot, can sever the Gordon knot

can alone be obtained from such
records.
1t is the fault of lenient regis
tration officials that births are NOT
registered in those states and cit
les which have operable laws. In
Baltimore, the Athens of higher
medical education, the registration
of births is shamefully deficient.
Chicago and New Orleans are such
close rivals that it would be diff
cult to decide which the worst, but
certainly their equals cannot be
foound in any other country where
vital records are maintained. The
remedy is the enforce ment of laws
where good laws exist; and en-
actment of laws, followed by their
enforcement, where adequate laws
are not on the statute books.

: Because we do NOT register
births in the United States, it is
impossible to compute a death
rate for babies in any state or in

such way as to be comparable
with the infant death rate Of any

Infant mortality cannot be
stated, as adult mortality is in ra-

The infant death rate must he

Der of infants born alive during
the year.
America should not mean bar
