she said, but people capable OF rea-
soning know that this accusation would
apply with equal logic to all laws en-
acted to prevent crime. Ono of the
latest charges against prohibition Is
that it is drawback to education and
religion. This is in strong contrast
10 the fact that Maine, which has more
teachers in proportion to the popula-
ton than the near-license State OF
Massachusetts, and at the meeting OF
the American Association for the Adj
vancement of Science, held "a few
months ago, 1t was reported in the ses-
sion of education that a larger num-
her Of pupils are graduated from the
elementary schools In Maine than from
any other New England State. and GER

States in the use OF the Bible in the

The issue In the late gubernatorial
campaign in Maine was not prohibi-

such as are prevailing in many other
States, resulted in change OF officials,
which will make 1t harder than ever
for the temperance people IN Maine to
Withstand the attacks OF the enemies
of prohibition within and especially
from without the state. We have rea-
son to believe that the Maine voters,
should resubmission be thrust upon
them, would do as they did In 1884,

New England Wheat.

It is reported from the Berkshires
 that Lenox farmer has raised this year AT bushels of wheat on ten acres of land and sold 1t in Pittsfield for s2.50 a bushel. That means a yield of 41.7 bushels per acre and at that ex- tremely high price value of S104 an acre That is in striking contrast with the average lS bushels per acre in the wheat districts of the United States and about a dollar a bushel. But that Lenox farmer made a terrible mis- take or two of them. He raised too
 much wheat to the acre and he sold it too high. That extraordinary success led a Boston paper to obServ6: The result does not prove that wheat can be profitably raised in this section"
 That kind of conclusion has cost New England millions of dollars for wheat and other farm products from the west. Many New England farmers have raised more than 50 bushels of wheat on an acre of land in a season, and repeated 1t year after year on their farms by a rotation of crops on different tracts of land The courage to attend to crops after they have been sown on the right kind of soil is all
 that is needed in New England. The dealers of Pittsf1eld had the right idea of appreciation when they paid $2.50
 a bushel for that Lenox wheat. They
 might not make profit in selling it for flour but they have had the sat isfaction of having wheat that was
 raised close by home. They can sell
 the flour for a higher price becaVse
 of that fact, and there is nothing to
 pay for hauling 1t from the west There
 is a demand for enterprise of that kind right here in this section. and
 most of the crops can be profitably
 raised if they are properly planted
 with judgment in the selection of soil
 and proper attention Daid to the grow ing.-Worcester Telegram

The AmsAcan Boy.

You cannot sissify the American boy" says Mayor Gaynor in a maga- zine article defending his refusal to prohibit exhibitions of the Jeffries Johnson prize fight pictures in New York Neither can you satisfy the American boy. the mayor might have added with equal truthfulness, if he's normal boy, possessed of a normal appetite and normal American ambi- tlon- That sort of a. boy, long as he is a boy is not satisfied with the average adventure or exploit as long as there remains one for his youthful mind to invent. His adventurous spir- 1t is like his appetite-insatiable and variable. Both are regarded by his seniors as hopeful omens, late to be naterialized into helpful ambitions and promise of realization if the appe- tite, as indicative of general physical fitness, remains good.
 Once in a while-tOo frequently in fact-this normal ambition and nor mai appetite of the average American boy is tempted and turned into the wrong channels. his adventurous spirit is fired by the heroic deeds of Dead wood Dick,'' or Gypsy Blair" faith fully recorded between the covers of a
 yellow-back." which falls into his possession, and he resolves to go and do likewise.
 mum erous in every American munici- palfty-will find in the prize-f fight pie lures both an fms piration and an out let for his excessive energy, perhaps to the eternal disadvantage and dam age of his better impulses. That's the American boy for whom plea Is made in the attempt to prohibit the exhibi- tion of the prize-fight pictures. It's the same boy who inspired laws ir every state but one or two prohibit ing prize fights and brutal exhibitions of the manly art of self defense" and it's the same boy who can derive nc possible good from either.-St. Louis Star.

The Inside Waterway.

T should like to sell that basket of Georgia peaches for thirty cents. but must get sixty cents to live" said a Worcester dealer Saturday. Meanwhile tho fruit farmers of Georgia were wor- rying about refrigerator cars, aS they have been for two weeks. They have been unable to get half cars enough to send their peaches to the north, and the fruit has decayed in the orchards. The answer to that is the opening of the inside waterway from Georgia to Massa chusetts that fast ships of steam may take the peaches from the orch ards and hurry them along to Boston and Worcester and other cities. Then they could be sold for thirty cents a basket and turn profit to the Georgia producers and the dealers hereabouts. Telegram.

Supreme Warden Rice asks the members in Connecticut to celebrate the 23d anniversary of the order dur ing the months of October, November and December. His wishes will be complied with and public meetings will be held in all the principal cities and towns in the state within the three months named by Brother Rice. The meetings will be as interesting to the members and their friends as it is possible to make them. The suc- cess achieved by the order during the 23 years of it's existence is without parallel in fraternal work in the New England states. There has been a strong, steady gain in membership every year since the society was or ganized until today the membership being 68.000. the average of the mem early years and the death rate has sand and most of the time it has been between eight and nine to the thou sand. Eight millions of dollars have been distributed among thousands of New England families, enabling wid ows to pay off mortgages on partly paid-for homes and educating chil- dren to become honest, selfsupporting members of the community. Every member of the order is proud of the grand record made by the order and will endeavor to make this year the most successful in it's history.
