Send you my words for messengers

Or build consummate palaces

But have you Wine and music still,
And statutes and bright-eyed love,
And foolish thoughts of good and III,

abused President of an enlightened
and partisan people.
1.-THE indianapolis News says: III
Professor Zuebln and his school OF
truth tellers take this out of the boy s
and even the fathers life. what does
he propose to put into its place?
There must be an ambition of some
kind. and it should be much higher
than the mere ambition to acquire
wealth. OF course, We may drop TO
Won may be president Of a bank,
or you may be president Of a trust"
or president of railroad or some
thing like that but, after all, these
promises focus the youthful eyes to
the horizon of a very small. material
life, and we want boys who look be-
yond this, even If they are dreamers.
If a boy can not be President he
can, at all events, be trained to be
lieve that he can acquire the art of
doing some one thing better than any
one else, and in that accomplishment
ne may reap great reward. The
story of Jerry Moore, a thrteen-year-
old lad who lives in South Carolina
now, can well be added to the stories
of hoys who lived a long time ago
and under absolutely different eondi-
tions-which fill our inspirational
books. Jerry is very poor boy, and
IL is not recorded that he ever dreamed
of being President So he turned his
attention to corn. Jerry has become
a king instead of President-a real
corn king. and still he is only thlr-
teen. His domain is not large, but
off his acre last year he gathered 22S
bushels of corn He did more than
that-he grew corn better, and more
of it. than any one else has grown.
Now, when Jerry Moore travels-and
he does II on his own money-Word
travels ahead and people come down
to see the train just as they do in
the south when President Taft or Mr..
BRYAN goes through The secretary
of agriculture wanted to see him in
Washington and find out his truly
scientific methods for raising corn.
And wher he reached Washington he
found word awaiting that President
Taft wanted to see him. He went

better next time" and began adding
two hundred loads of rich swamp
earth to the three hundred he mad
placed on the acre the year before.
1t might be well for Prof. Zuebiin
To introduce the inspiration Of Jerrg
Moore as he removed that OF Abraham
Lincoln. and also point out that work
is a great thing

Touching Appeal of the Vets.

In its editorial bow to the public,
The Bulletin" the official organ OF
Names wet goods association, recent
~ organized in Augusta, makes pa
thetic appeal to the public, Among
other things, it declares, in large
type, all caps:
IF THE PROHIBITORY AMEND
MENT Is TAKEN OUT OF THE
CONSTITUTION THE LEGISLA-
TURE MAY AMEND THE LIQUOR
LAWS, BUT NO LEGISLATIVE AC-
TION on THE SUBJECT CAN TAKE
EFFECT WITHOUT THE PEOPLES
CONSENT. IF FOR EXAMPLE,
THE LEGISLATURE SHOULD PASS
A LOCAL OPTION LAW, A REFER
ENDUM PETITION WOULD FORCE
1T To A VOTE OF THE PEOPLE.
If THEY VOTED IN FAVOR OF
THE LAW. 1T WOULD THEN Go
INTO EFFECT. IF THE PEOPLE
VOTED AGAINST THE LAW, IT
WOULD NOT TAKE EFFECT, AND
THE PRESENT PROHIBITORY
law WOULD REMAIN IN FULL
FORCE"
Isn't ii touching? "Only grant us
this little boon of start toward free
rum" is the appeal of these preach
ers eff liquor trust doctrines. The
Bulletin states that The League sub
nits that the time has come when
Maine men should be free to express
their convictions on the liquor ques-
tion without being subjected to in
suit" We are indeed sorry for these
poor insulted' representatives of an
unmitigated evil, who, now and in the
past, have always bounded to their
feet 10 denounce every one who dared
to oppose the liquor interests and the
rummies, as fanatics. They out
spokanly declare that ministers are
hypoerites, newspapers which favor
prohibition are debauched. and the
courts are the paid tools of politicians
yet they claim that it is time Maine
men should be allowed to express
their convictions on the liquor ques-
ton without being insulted."
The Bulletin gives long list of
paragraphs setting forth what the
wet goods league win present for pub
lie consumption. Every paragraph be-
gins 1T will show" and every one of
them concerns prohibition. The Bull
letin does not tell you that il will
show the evils or the advantages of
any of it's pet schemes for ''regplat
ing the liquor traffic. 1t devotes it
self to denunciation of Maine law
and all those who favor it. and it ap-
peals for recognition of the fact that
taking the amendment out of the con-
stitution does not establish any other
system than prohibition, and on this
statement We presume it hopes to
quiet the opposition of some of the
voters who would go TO the polls To
vote mo If they thought remaining
at home would establish any system of
free rum
But do you know of anything to
prevent Gov. Plaisted from calling the
Legislature in extra session to repeal
the statutory law, as soon the consti-
tutional amendment should be swept
from the path?
Speaking of "hypocrites," listen to
the unfounded pretention of taking
the amendment out of the constitution
will make no change"

Diminished Vitality.

Some people talk very fiippantly
about diminished vitality.
They don't stop to think that vital
ity is the principle of life-that it is
that little understood something on
which every function OF their bodies
depends.
Diminished vitality is early indicat-
ed by loss of appetite, strength and
endurance. and Hoods Sarsaparilla is
the greatest vitalizer.

Work on the Lewis street pave

and rushed to completion. This was
the decision of the Board of Alder
men at it's committee meeting last
night. The concrete laid by the
Hastings Pavement Company has
been found sufficiently good to per-

work. A one-inch coat Of sand and
cement of rich mixture must now
be placed over the concrete and the
balance will be made up with NOR
tar bed from one-half to an inch in
thickness and two-inch asphalt
blocks.
City Engineer Samuel J. Mason
made an official inspection and test
of the concrete this morning. He
found it bad in spots but generally
good enough to warrant it a good
