An Example Worth Following

We received in the mail last week,
a business letter from Norwich, Conn
Enclosed was a little leaflet entitled
"A Whit from the Rose of New
England" 1t went on to tell some
thing of the transportation facilities
industrial and social conditions, and
the resources for new business and
manufacturing enterprises. At the end
it said Don't you want to know
more about this interesting city? We
extend to you cordial welcome.
Write Norwich Board of Trade"
Probably every out going mail car
ries these leaflets all over the coun-
try. Presumably every member of
that board of trade is taking part in
this distribution. The only expense
of course, is the insignificant cost of
the printing Looks from here like a
mighty cheap and effective way to ad-
vertise a town. What is to prevent
Skowhegan from taking hold of a
good scheme like this? L has eyi-
IDENTIFY paid where it has been tried

Tit For Tat

In opposing any intervention by the
United States in Mexico, the Rock
land Opinion says: "All that is neces-
sary is to station one or two squa-
drons of light artillery along the bor-
der wherever there is any sign of
trouble, and then when the Greasers
go to firing off their guns so that the
bullets come across the line, drop a
few shells in among them, and keep II
up so long as one of them is in sight
Then let the diplomatists settle the
legal question at their leisure From
the standpoint of common sense anC
rough and ready justice, that is abou
the smoothest proposition we have
seen. One or two applications o
that treatment would put an end t.
the vaudeville on the south side of the
Rio Grande.

THURSDAY, APRIL %. 1911.
Reciprocity a Political
Makeshift

The Reciprocity bill passed the
House last Friday 265 to SO, with
Congressman Gould and McGillicuddy
voting for it and Kinds and Guernsey
against. During the protracted de-
hate Mr.. Kinds gave mastery analy-
ais of the measure. in which ne
showed that it had neither part nor
lot in any tariff policy that the voters
of the country had ever approved, but
politics rather than logic dominated
the situation.
Now comes the real battle in the
Senate, and it is to be hoped that the
discussion there may enable the
country to see this measure in Its
true light, as a miserable political
makeshift The people want tarln
built to fit the facts. If reasonable
amount of investigation preceded the
negotiation of the reciprocity agree
ment. we have yet to learn OF it. The
most PLAUSIBLE explanation of the
motives DdCh Vi IL dil 10 Il dSoiiN vi
the part of the president to put those
progressive senators and congressman
who are working to prevent his re-
nomination, in a hole, and incidental
Iy appease some of the clamor of the
cities over the high cost of living. The
aVidity with which the Democrats
have rallied to the support of the
measure, suggests that they can see
trouble behind it for some of theiI
traditional opponents.
A news letter from Washington
states that the Democratic members
of the Maine delegation are receiving
very few protests against reciprocity
from their constituents. If that is 8
fact, Maine farmers are exceedingly
careless about looking after their in
terests. The experience of meeting
the competition from our own great
west ought to have left an impression.
Reciprocity with Canada would mean
going through some Of the hardships
all over again. It's mighty poor
bargain.

Is Democracy a Failure -?

By what standards shall we meas
ure democracy. that we may not be
compelled to answer the above ques-
ton with a yes? A writer in the cur
rent Outlook. whose intimate ae-
uuaintance with political conditions
in the United States leads him to con-
denim our governmental machinery,
Joints to the efficient management of
our great corporations, as showing
the way out He would disregard the
tradition which says that government
must be carefully divided into legisla-
tive. executive and judicial depart
ments. would vest the legislative and
appointive power in a small board,
elected at large and for long terms,
but subject to the initiative, referen-
dunn and the recall
This plan would leave but frag-
ments of our cherished federal con-
stitution. but that is no sign that we
are not likely to adopt it. Known as
the commission form of governm Mt,
the substance OF this plan has been
adopted for the government of more
than a hundred American cities. and
is working splendidly From great
city to a small state is not much of
a step. and it is liable to be taken
almost any time After that progress
will doubtless be as rapid as expert
ence warrants, in spite of the protests
by those who insist upon turning their
eyes towards the setting sun.

If the people are not competent to
elect good representatives, are they
not incompetent to vote directly upon
measures? Senator Root of New
York thinks so, and that this demand
for the initiative, referendum and re-
call proves it. He might say that
the fare register in the street car
proves that the traction company is
not competent to manage its bust
ness. Why shouldn't the company
choose conductors that will not
steal? Direct legislation is to the
public what the fare register is to the
traction company The legislator
like the conductor is exposed to pc
culiar temptations. When Mr.. Root
collects fare we want him to ring
1t up. OF course he fuses about it.
His sense of senatorial dignity is out
ragged Not of course that he wants
to steal any fares. but it looks too
much as if he were just hired man,
when all along he has been feeling as
II he owned the company.

Maidens who dressed with a sensible
view, and just as Dame Nature in
tended them to. Give us a girl with
her figure her own, and fashioned
divinely by Nature alone. Feminine
styles getting Gncer each year, oh
give us the girls as they used tc
appear. One Of those twenty-five
years ago kind. No wonder the
men Of that day sighed and pined
One whose fair tresses we're enough
without the addition of make believe

A very interesting meeting Of the
Earnest Workers was at the hospit-
