Milwaukee has the distinction of be-
ing the first city in the United States
to imprison a loan shark. The dis

assed and unfortunate humanity" All

My Dear Sir

My Dear Sir
l have watched with keen interest
events as they have transpired
within our commonwealth ever
since the beginning Of your cam
pafgn for the Governorship of
Maine. My business calls me to
many parts of the State. and dur
ing the months preceding the bat
tie of the ballots In September. 1910,
my observations led me, sometime
before the deciding day came, to
privately predict your election.
What were the causes conspiring
Ia lead me to draw this conclusion?
There were several. but the para
mount one was, the people believed
you and Your party would fulfil
your platform and campaign
pledges.
There has been a great deal said,
pro and con by the press
of the opposing parties about
your promise to make Maine
as dry as covered bridge.
TIC Democratic press has been
most vigorously denying that You
made sach a statement. and if the
press correctly reports your speech
al Watervlle on the night of March
>. 1912. YOU yourself deny the
charge. But why all this hue ana
cry? IF you did not make use of

Sanitary Homes for the Poor.

To the last word is the type of san
itary apartment house produced by
Mrs. w X. Vanderbilt beyond criti-
cism. Mrs. Vanderbilt set out, three
years ago, to fight tuberculosis with
the weapon of sanitary homes for the
poor. She selected a site on the East
River, New York, between nth and
18th streets. There she has caused to
be erected an apartment building that
is attracting the attention and the
praise of the world From a sanitary
standpoint as well as to comfort and
convenience it may well serve as
model for the world.
1t is to be hoped that other philan-
thropists may observe the project and
absorb some of the wisdom and godil-
ness of Mrs. Vanderbilt. Sanitary
homes for the poor are far more pref
cradle and commendable than gifts of
taxes attached to splendid stone build
ings designed chiefly for monuments
and show purposes. Who knows that
some of the poor human beings saved
in sanitary homes may not develop
into Carnegies, Vanderbilts and Rock
efellers?
