Bangor, Me.-Trustum H. Brown,
the Mediator" was in Bangor, re-
Gently, on his return from a visit to
Boston, and although elghty-six years
Of age he tripped down town like q
boy and told with enthusiasm all
about new treatise he has just com
pleted on The Truths of Christ and
the Errors of Christianity" Not
long ago the Mediator demonstrated
his reputed supernatural or unusual
powers by locating a gold mine in
California, getting his information, he
said, from the spirits Of intimate
friends long dead.
For many years Brown has occu-
pied a little cabin on a mountain
slope. spending his time chiefly in
fishing, hunting and philosophical
meditation and research, all the while
holding communication with the
spirits Of the departed, he says. He
calls himself Mediator between God
and man."
Beyond delivering exhortations
wherever be may find a listener, the
Mediator's principal occupations are
trapping for furs and bear bounties
and preparing and peddling medi
cine, compounded from forest roots
barks and herbs, warranted to cure
every human malady. His gala time
Of the year is when the Spiritualisti
OF Maine hold their annual camp
meeting at Etna Pond in Penobscoti
county. This he always attends, en-
tering into the spirit Of the occasion
with an enthusiasm that makes th'
Job of suppressing him the most DIFF

Weeks TALKS Of
CENTRAL MARKET
VALUABLE BOOK ON CENTRAL
MARKETS PUBLISHED BY JOHN
LEE coULTER-Goop AND BAD
FEATURES OF CERTAIN MAR.
KETs DISCUSSED.

To The Forum: In connection with
the discussion of a central market for
Fargo. permit me to call attention to
a valuable account of central markets
in a recent book by John Lee Coulter
entitled Cooperation Among Farm
ers.
Mr.. Coulter refers to several kinds
of central markets. There are the
large, open squares where farmers
wait by the hour to sell their products
at much loss of time. Another form
of market is that of many booths OPP
Grated by petty merchants who buy nf
the farmer and sell to the city Gus
toner. This form is also regarded
with disfaVoT. In other cases farm
ers exhibit their products for two or
three hours in the morning, selling 20
grocers what remains. This system Is
especially poor.
The kind of market favored by Mr..
Coulter is one managed by a market
society, having buying and selling de-
partments. The farmer brings in his
products, receiving credit on the books
for quantity and quality. Inspectors
judge the products and tag thcnl in
order Of receipt. The goods are sold
through the sales department to. city
customers, a slight reduction in price
being made when delivery al the dc1r
is not required. Hotp,s and boarding
houses are dealt with through c whole
sale department, lower prices being
made 20 them because of less expense
in handling the. goods. Surplus goods
are stored and uniform prices secured
by the farmers. Gluts are avoided.
Mr.. CUClter says that city consuTn-
ers can thus obtain farmers products
at from 10 per cent to 20 per cent
less han under the usual system and
the farmer receives more for his
products than f0rmerly. Mr.. Coulter's,
presentation c< the case for this type
of market is interesting and convinc-
ing. Yours very truly,
Arland D. Weeks.

sentimentality nor a hypercritical
spirit induces these observations, but
primarily a desire for consistency in

High school teachers have openly
complained of the temporary effect

appears on his day with her entire
appearance calculated to attract at
tention, and most eager for the hour
to come when she may assume her
post. Business men have objected to
the invasion of their Offices and places
of occupation, and the peremptory re-
quest that they purchase tags, but
they deprecate most the careless man
ner in which these girls visit buildings
in the heart of the city, and the easy
opportunities thus afforded for pro-
miscuous acquaintance. 1t is hoped
that those in charge of the tag day
collection, will accept this suggestion
in the spirit in which it is made. so

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
A Mistaken Course.

MT. Editor! The textile strike at Lawrence with its attendant lawless ness is calculated to seriously hamper any effort to secure D further reduc- ton in the hours of labor in Massa- ohusetts by legislative enactment. It is scarcely three years ago that the Massachusetts legislature at the be- hest of so-called labor leaders reduced the legal time limit for its factories from 5s hours to 56 hours week. As natural sequence, wages were reduced approximately save in a few isolated instances, when the 56-hour law went into effect. There may have been few incensequential strikes, at that time, but nothing that approach ed the demonstrations that have oc- cured in Lawrence during the past week,
 To all intents and purposes, those most directly concerned-the wage earners and the manufacturers become thoroughly reconciled to the new conditions, but the self-styled la Dor leaders were after more fields to conquer. Consequently they again ap- peared before the legislature last year and demanded that two more hours be sliced off the weekly working sched ule. The manufacturers made their usual protest, but in vain. for the average legislator, in Massachusetts, at least, is the veriest coward in the presence of a labor leader and often times places a fictitious value on his political power. But in any event, the labor leaders, scored their point, and as a consequence the operatives of the Bay state are now finding their pay envelopes lighter without gaining any visible corresponding advantage by the reduction of the working hours. How we'll they appreciate the situa- tfon these labor leaders have brought about is indicated by the develop ments at Lawrence. They could en- thuse over the new regime did it not affect their revenues but are not will ing to concede to the employer the right to readjust his payrolls to meet the new conditions. In short, they want wages that they have not earn ed. To carry out the idea of these Lawrence operatives to it's logical con- Clusion would be tantamount to rais- ing wages by legislative mandate, a constitutional impossibility where pri- vate and not public interests are in Volved.
 Massachusetts has boasted ostenta- tiOusly of its leadership in labor legis- lation, but the reign of anarchic con- dltlonS at Lawrence may serve to open the eyes of that good old common wealth to the fact that there is such a thing as pushing along a good thing too rapidly. Should Massachusetts eventually lose it's markets by reason of inability to compete with other states whose industrial laws are not such a burden to the manufacturers, it's "progressiveness" along this line may prove curse instead of bless ing. L. J. N. Norwich, Jan. IS, 1912.
