HOPE TT WILL CARRY
 OVERWHELMINGLY

T. A. Weller, chairman of Chamber of Commerce advertising committee, said: "I think that by all means we ought to vote for the bond issue. This Is a sim pie way of securing the needed loan to put the citys finances on solid foundation, and think it Is a good time for us to clean up the old accounts and start out fresh with the new admin istration. From what l understand the bond issue will carry by large majority, and I shall be glad to. see the people uphold the commissioners by endorsing the plan"

CENSOR RYA[L IS
 VERY DIPLOMATIC Solution for Differences Be
 tween Shows NEED FOR FRESH AIR Complaint Made That Some Picture Shows Are Not Properly Ven
 Misunderstanding Room
 Law Violated
NEED FOR FRESH AIR

Scudder Ryall. censor of moving pie ture shows, decided his first question yes terday and displayed therein brand of diplomacy of which Whitelaw Reid or Rufus Choate might well be proud.
 The proposition was one where a recent conner to this city had opened an open air show without any roof and had planned to have vaudeville and an or chestra in the open. Across the street, however. was stationed one of the larg- est mechanical orchestras In the city. Its tones floated serenely over. to the open space across the street, whereupon no performers could be heard and the care fully selected orchestra sitting under the open sky played futile symphonies. The open air man came to MT. Ryall and de- sired the removal of the mechanical in- strument across the street However, this would not do as the owners of the musical instrument complained of have been here many years, have large or ganization and incidentally have right to operate the instrument
 "Ill tell you what to do.' confided the censor You get around here some where and secure larger organ than the party across the street and make more noise than he does. Then the city will make both of you quit and there will end the troubles'
 The disgruntled citizen started off to find a larger noise maker and the battle Is on.
 Inspect Ventilation
 In connection with the censorship of moving picture shows MT. Ryall said yes terday that he would make an inspection of the 12 or more amusement places in the city within few days
 ''I have been requested by pr. Nelson. the city health officer, to look in upon several places" said MT. Ryall yester- day. He says the atmospheric condi- tons are not very good and that the ventilation is one of the most important points of a show place. l shall look into the fresh air needs and the censor will make decision relative to their health fitness later.
 T have received complaints also that standing room is frequently sold in the nickle show places That is clearly against the city laws and is highly un- desirable. Especially on Saturday nights, I am told, the picture shows are crowded to the doors with persons standing up."
 MT. Ryall in giving his first outline to be performed by the censor said that only the highest toned and cleanest plays are to be allowed In the city. He said | every show would be required to deal only in first-class picture plays. -a The city censor was presented with a | pass to all the shows in Birmingham | yesterday. 1t was printed on card board with each theatre named in rota- | tion. The signature of the manager was attached to the pass, which takes in every one in the city. MT. Ryall accepted the | courtesy which is good for 12 amuse- ment places In the city and others in the suburbs.

THE LITTLE WHITE DOG.

Little white dog with the meek brown eyes,
Tell me the boon that most you prize.
Would juicy bone meet your hearts desire?
Or a cozy rug by a blazing fire?
Or a sudden race with truant cat?
Or gentle word? or friendly pat?
Is the worn-out ball you have always near
The dearest of all the things held dear?
Or is the home you left behind
The dream of bliss to your doggish mind?
But the little white dog just shook his head
AS if "None of these are best" he said.
A boys clear whistle came from the street;
There's wag Of the tail and twinkle of feet
And the little white dog did not even say,
Excuse me, ma am, as he seampered away;
But I'm sure as can be his greatest JOY
Is just to trot behind that boy.

The Aroostook Potato Crop.

Rust has been discovered upon the
potatoes in few localities, but nothing
more than usual and in no quantities to
cause apprehension. There is never a
season but that there is at least little
rust in places. Those that have Travelled
all over Aroostook county say that the
potatoes of Fort Fairfield, Presque Isle,
Caribou and Limestone are very fine
indeed and that the product will be very
heavy, greatly exceeding that of the
Houlton part Of the county. The potatoe
along the st. John river are said tohe not

WHAT COMPANY WILL. YOU KEEP

ALFRED, Me-, July 81, 1911. Perhaps
some persons may be in doubt whether
to vote Eyes" or "no" on the constitu-
tional amendment September l1th
Some perhaps are young men voting for
the first time. Others may be newcom-
ers into the State. Some may not have
given much attention or thought to the
question, but we must and want to vote
right. Wouldn't it be safe rule for
such cases to vote as the entire rumsell-
ing, gambling, criminal interest don t
want US to, and as all religious, benevo-
lent, reform, temperance industrial
business, women's, children's societies
everywhere want US to. Do we want to
cast in our lot and work with those who
for the sake of money are trying to make
the world worse, or with those who with
out compensation are trying to make the
world better?
Which is the best company ministers
or rumsellers, Christians or criminals,
deacons or drunkards, Christian workers
or bar tenders, temperance men or rum
mics? These classes are lined up on the
one side or the other almost unanimous
ly. On the rum side you will find some
few misguided, decent, honest, respect
able men, who are there on account of
some prejudice, political or otherwise, or
because their fathers before them were
on that side.
All these undecided men have got to
chose which company they will train in.
The rum interest will make desperate eff
forts to get you. Their business is at
stake. Will you be caught by their
slippery talk?

THAcKERAY.

Thackeray is, in spirit, very, modern
writer, and the muck-rake world of our
day sees things much more as ne saw
them than the world of his own time did.
He saw Iown into the foundations of life.
He knew religion and was always preach
ing it. He knew this world and the
people who live in it; knew values and
what is worth the getting and what is
not-a very great man, great preacher,
great master of the literary art, a
great depository of talent.
Nobody forgets that Kipling was born
in India. He lived there long enough to
impress the fact on the minds of all his
readers. But it is less noticed that
Thackeray was born there, too. 1t is as
though these two greatly gifted British
men started life in hotbed. Thackeray
was very early transplanted, and never
went back to India, and of course never
knew that country except by hearsay,
and never put it into his books except
through its representatives in England.
He was an old-fashioned man of the
highest Victorian standards, who Shout
dered heavy burdens of life, and trudged
on with them, and died at fifty-two,
worn out, but with every obligation met,
and great character made and great
treasure added to English literature in
the meeting of them. Clever and popu-
lar writer's have succeeded him in Eng
land in our day who seem to have no
facilities, and to think life is best lived
when obligations are shirked and burdens
avoided. They are interesting. writer's,
some of them, but their vogue is transit
tory. Not to them will their successors
turn for inspiration, nor lovers of them
by the hundred thousand take new
thought of them when their hundredth
birthday comes around. Harper
Weekly.
