Bumps On Creation.

TIE professional knocker, who
will not work himself but is salts
fed to sit around and howl
calamity at every opportunity, is
the worst enemy that a town can
have. Only recently we heard a
visitor to town say that he met
a man on the streets whom he
greeted with the usual question
as to how things were getting on.
The one questioned happened to
be one of these town parasites OF
the knocker variety, and his re-
ply was that everything looks
mighty blue and business is at a
standstill. Of course the visitor
imagined that we were all going
to the poor house, but on meeting
other citizens he soon found that
there was not a bit of founda,i,n
for the wailing of that knocker.
The move-on ordinance should be
rigidly enforced against such
bumps on creation. - Woodville

Take Your Citizenship Seriously

There is nothing more I'M
p)rtant than that we should
t Ike our citizenship seriously.
S)me people take it as a joke,
SINE as a game, some as a sell
fl sh purpose and some as achance
Il, help friends or grind axes.
No man is worthy of citizenship
unless he regards it as a mission
and uses it for the common good
to free his fellow men from every
kind of servitude and oppression
and make them their own levers
t, raise themselves to better es-
tates. Citizenship is a duty, and
every man who has a high ideal
OF life, who makes it brave and
serviceable, has a right to be
citizen and no other should be
e rolled upon the roll of honor.
A citizen is a man who honors
his city, his state and his nation
by living right and doing good.
Such a one regards citizenship
eriously. The duty of citizen
snip is committed to each man as
a trust to be discharged always
Tor the common welfare and the
higher purpose. E ballot is to

PANAMA CANAL
BILL AGREED On
Congressman Coyington, Of
Maryland, Wins Fight.
RAIL LINES MAY OWN SHIPS


Washington. Representative
Harry Covington, of Maryland, won
victory in the House Committee Of
Interstate Commerce when d ma
jority Of that body accepted his view.
OF the question Of tolls for the Panama,
Canal and reported bill permitting
the railroads to operate steamshir
lines through the waterway.
A restriction OF great Importance,
however, was placed upon the use By
the railroads Of the canal They may
control such steamship lines, but they
must not use them to prevent water
competition between the Atlantic and
Pacific coasts.
Mr.. Covington had contended from
the beginning that 1t would be unwise
to prohibit absolutely the use of the
canal to any steamship company III
which the railroads had an interest.
The bill. which was approved by
vote of IA to 4, gives the President
authority to fix tolls within certain
limitations, maximum Of $1.25 ton
being prescribed, with minimum OF
not below an amount sufiicient to
maintain and operate the canal
Preference to American ships will not
be allowed.
Ships owned or controlled by rail-
roads and operated with intent to re-
strain trade or ships engaged in any
agreement ship ring or combine
would be prohibited from passing
through the canal.
Dismissal Of the Panama Commits
sion when the canal approaches conn
pietion is sanctioned, and the Presi.
dent is authorized to appoint Gov
ernor Of the Panama Canal and Canal
Zone at $4,000 year to serve four

Boston general advance In the
wages Of textile operatives in North
ern New England was announced by
various mill interests which have their
head Offices in Boston.
More than $4,000 persons, includ-
ing employees Of cotton mills in Massa-
chusetts. New Hampshire and Maine,
and wooden mill operatives in sir New
England States are affected.
While few cotton mills have made
definite announcements, it il under
stood that the advance generally will
not be less than per cent. and for
certain classes Of operatives per
cent or more.
The New Hampshire and Maine cot
ton mills, which employ $4,000 per
sons. made the change In the payroll
Monday; other mills will do SO March
Is, and the Lowell mills, with nearly
10000 hands, will put the advances

To the advance in Lawrence in re-

In Massachusetts the mill hands I'M
derwent cut in wages of more than
8 per cent on January because OF q

The wage increase will embrace
nearly all the cotton mills Of New
Hampshire. including the II mills Of
the Amoskeag Manufacturing Com
pany, of Manchester, the largest cot
ton concern In the world. The Amos

The action Of the Lowell mills, It is
thought, win contribute greatly toward
allaying the unrest which is said to
