Dealers at T wharf were given a
surprise when Capt. Horace Hillman
of the 14-ton schooner Eliza Benner
of Edgartown offered 20, 900 pounds Of
fish to buyers at the exchange. No
one believed that a schooner the size
of the Benner would attempt rounding
Cape Coo at this season so deeply
loaded. But the captain had recently
purchased the vessel and thought II
he could reach Boston at a time OF
high prices he might be able to nearly
pay her purchase price.
With five young men belonging on
Martha's Vineyard Capt. Hillman took
the schooner out on the ocean side Of
Nantucket and in a short time filled
the craft to the patches. The venture
proved so successful that the crew
earned about $50 each and the Ben.

Oh, she could never tell him it was

We did not try to say that men were

like an equality of opportunity and an
equality of reward for good service,

be received. and on the whole was re-
ceived wherever he went on the foot

Now. so far as possible. these quail
ties and the conditions that bring
about these qualities should be kept in
the great states which are growing
, out of the old frontier communities.
We need to strive for the general So
cial betterment of the people as a
whole and yet to encourage individual
liberty and set high reward on individ-
ual initiative up to the point where
they become detrimental to the gen.
| eral welfare.
In continually and earnestly striving
for this retirement of social and eco

duStrial civilization we should work
in the old frontier spirit of rugged
strength and courage and yet with the
old frontier spirit of brotherly COM
