New York,s Political corruptior

Private correspondence from New
many is facing a crisis as result of
the latest evidence of almost unbeliev-
able corruption and collision between
politicians, their official tools and the
saloon men. thugs, gamblers and muir
derers of the under world. A great
political upheaval is in prospect, COM
ing out of the Rosenthal shooting.
This man was coolly put out of the
way on the eve of furnishing evidence
to the district attorney involving the
police with the ranks of crime. All
classes of New Workers are forced to
admit the presence in the great metrop
oils of organized bands of assassins
who will do anything with any desig
mated victim if their price be paid.
The political significance of the muir
der is at present confined to specula
tons as TO what the result will be if
District Attorney Whitman is actually
and in so doing develops completely
between the police, the gamblers and
the hired murderers. Such a result
would cause the greatest airing of dir
ty political linen since the days of the
LeXow committee and it is believed
would make Mr.. Whitman the logical
Republican candidate for the governor
ship of the state. In this connection it
il pointed out that the conditions re-
vealed by the Lexow investigating
committee which laid bare an almost
unbelievable state of eorruptioh result
ed in the swinging of the state from the
Democratic party, which was then in
power, to the Republican lists resulting
in succession of Republican governs
ors. Added Importance is given to the
present situation because of the fact
that this is presidential year.

graduated by her neighbors.

toring of financial EXHIBITS or Juggling
with tax rates can obscure the OBVIOUS
and damning facts. The FeriAa!a &t.iiiih-
istration recklessly made appropriation
far beyond its revenue, and 1t was lett
TO the Democrats to provide means to
nav the bills-Portland Argus.

Maine Gossip
Where's the old-Time Boy.


Where is the boy--the real boy-the boy
that used to be:
The boy that planned to run away and
go to sail the sea;
The boy that yearned to TWIST q brake
upon the local freight;
The boy that thought circus ring held
all of proud estate?
And where's the boy-the boy-eSt boy
that ever lived at all.
Who whistIed on his fingers In a wild,
ear-splittinS call?
Boys nowadays go solemnly at learning
this and that
Which he held in the busy brain beneath
his ragged hat
oh, where's the hat he used to wear =
the coffee straw whose peak
Rose high, while all the sagging brim
slapped him on neck and cheek,
Or else it was a hickory a shoestring
The dealer strung them on cord. all
ready to his hand.
He was boyi He knew more things
than you and ] may learn;
lie knew where Indian turnlps grow,
and how they itch and burn
He knew the birds Familiarity, he watched
May apples grow,
And had his private fishing place, where
only he might go;
He went harefooted-how his rect got
stone-bruised right away
lie never had his two front teeth. Where
is that boy today?
All, how he'd whistle, First and little
finger in his lips,
And then a blast that cut the air IKE To
a hundred whips,
And how he looked, His mouth stretched
wide, his eyes ali strained and set
It's strange that such boy as that Is
now no longer met
Bccollared and beshoed, our boys so aim
lesSly through life
And never stand red-faced and blow
upon their finger-fife:

Municipal incompetence.

The completion of a municipal bath
house in philadelphia at cost of $40,
600 only to find that no provision had
been made for any intake or outlet for
water supply illustrates the ineffi-
cheney of the usual city administra-
ton. Such thing happening in con-
nection with the plans and erection OF
a plant for a private corporation is al
most impossible. Tt is only when the
public pays, that slipshod, wasteful
practices are INDUCED in to the extent
that they approach either criminality
or asininity.-W Washington Times.

Portland Argus: Portland has anoth-

The moths are flying in thousands and
probably in few years we shall be
fighting them as hard as We are sup
posed to be fighting the brown tails
now. The insect now before US is the
Angoumois grain moth, the scientific
name of which is Anacampsis Cerealella
and it is a handsome little creature of
a light cinnamon brown color with a
satiny texture. 1t folds its wings upon
itself and is hard TO see when not on
the wing.

Foxoroft,s Centennial Celebration.

At the present stage of the game it
looks as if the centennial anniversary
of Foxcroft's existence as town would
pass uncelebrated, and practically I'M
noticed except in SO far as the fact tilat
the town is 100 years old may he reeor-
ded in the diaries of some of the towns
citizens. The matter of a celebration
had been talked up, but when the ques-
tor was brought before a special town
meeting, Wednesday, it was turned
down fiat. The sum of $500 was all
that was asked for from the town. as
it was Intended to raise the balance of
the fund needed by subscription. The
action of the town WAS disappoint-
ment to those who have been inter-
ested in the movement, as they would
like te have seen a proper observance
of the centennial.
