His SoulsGoes Marching On

The late Tom Johnson began his
remarkable business career when he
was eleven years old His first job
was that of a newsboy, and in his
memoirs now running in Hampton
Magazine he tells how he CHANGED to
get it. Among his friends was the
conductor of the one daily train that
came into the little Virginia town
where he was then living. One day
that official said to him:
How would you like to sell pa
pers, Tom? l could bring EN- in for
you on my train, and | wouldn't car
ry any for anybody else, so you could
charge whatever you please.
Tom eagerly seized that opportu-
nifty, and in Ave weeks had acquired
$S8, and his first taste of privilege
The lesson he never forgot. There
after he sought diligently to avoiC
competition in all his business activi
ties. His eye was keen for somebody
or something to stand in the same re-
lation to him as his conductor friend
and he accumulated millions.
But with the piling up of his wealth
came realizing sense of the human
misery which the system of privilege
was producing. The vision of eco
nomic freedom for his fellow men
haunted him, and he died fighting
that they might live. When he real
lied that death could be delayed only
short time, he saw that the great
est heritage he could leave to the
people was the story of his battles.
Those who read it will know that
Tom Johnson has not lived in vain.

Prohibition Prohibits Is to

10000, 900 gallons of intoxicating
liquors were shipped into dry ter
ritory last year, according to hgures
piven the Interstate Commerce Com
mission by the big express companies.
When this fact was announced the
liouor press seized upon 1t with great
slee. as a sweeping indictment OF
prohibition. The figures by them
selves look large, but in comparison
with the traffic in wet" territory, ap-
near surprisingly small. The true re-
lation is beautifully set forth In re-
cent letter by Rev. w. F. Berry M
Wateryille to the Kennebec Journal.
It's perusal should materially stiffen
the backbone of every prohibitionist
in Maine. Mr.. Berry says:
1.-THE total amount of intoxicants
produced in and imported into the
United States in 1910 was In round
numbers 21O0,000,000 gallons. the
population of the United is 9l,972,2b6
and that of the nine prohibitory states
is 15,602,935.
at will be seen then that while the
total population Of the prohibitory
states Is one-sixth OF that of the
United States, the 20,00O,O00 gallons
of intoxicants shipped into these
states is only 1-106 part of the total
quantity of intoxicants brought into
and produced in the United States.
That is, the 2O,OOOO00 sent into the
prohibition states allows 1.28 gallons
per inhabitants, while the 2,0SO,0O0,-
900 In the rest of the United States
allows 22.11 gallons per inhabitant
or nearly eighteen times as much al

A Fine Beginning

The initial number of the Maine
Labor Advocate appeared on July 70.
1t is a weekly published in Bangor in
the interests of organized labor
throughout the State. The editorial
salutatory makes this interesting and
hopeful announcement:
II is the intention of the publishers
TO have articles of special interest to
the workers written by those who
have made a deep study OF these sub
jects.
We want every wage Garner to
know that their interests will receive
first consideration We will discuss
every legitimate, economic or politi-
cal question. but we are pronounced
against partisan politics. religious dis
Sensions or race prejudice.
There is need for such a paper in
Maine and with the cooperation
promised from the rank and file 1t
cannot help from growing.

aid from those who are interested in
the education and advancement of the
laboring class. and trust our endeay

How "Thon" Would Work.

"Tho9"" is the word which has been
suggested for use as an English pro-
noun of common gender, luxury
which the English language has thus
far had the fortitude to forego. 1t was
considered suitable for English be-
cause it came rom the Greek. Its use
may be illustrated as follows:
If parent desires to spank thon's

thon Che or she) should take thon (him,
her or IT. across thon's knee. Then
thon should remove thon's slipper, and
after explaining to the child tho repre-

Forerunner of Parcels Post

An encouraging sign of the times Is
the decision of the Interstate Com
MERGE Commission to investigate
thoroughly the business now carried
on by the big express companies. 1t
hardly seems possible that present
conditions can survive the blasting
effect of publicity upon ways that are
dark and tricks that are vain. As
specimens of capitalized privilege,
feasting like vampires from the ar
teries of commerce, their lease OF life
Ia bound to be short after the public
has really absorbed the facts.
1t is humiliating to the average
American to think that a so-callet
free government like ours canno

this failure were stated by post
master general years ago to be the

they are not by any means invulner-
able. and times have at least begun
to change.
The politicians In Washington are
now engaged in some very clever
jockeying to avoid the responsibility
that goes with roll call vote on the
parcels post bill now pending in
Congress. Probably they will sue
