is plain that the engineer on seeing
him, blew his engine whistle, but got
no response from the man. He tried
the emergency brake but before the
train could be stopped it passed over
his body about the length of freight

and taken to Greenville hospital,
where he died few hours later. Be-
fore he died he said he had lived in

Happy New Year to all.

In speaking before the Board of
Trade, Monday evening, e. b. Moore
of New York, treasurer of the Wesse-
runsett worsted MILL Skowhegan, on
the subject of tariff and the wooden
industry, said: Give us hair cut if
you like, but for Gods sake don't cut
off our heads" He said that the pass
ing of the Underwood tariff bill, which
is so radical that II would necessitate
closing his mill in Skowhegan would
mean the closing of many others. He
said further, that the wooden manufac-
turers were willing to stand d eonser-
vative revision as opposed to radical
revision. This subject wasn't all that
he talked on at the meeting, but said;
''Skowhegan is being Disseminated
against in freight rates, and in the
last ten-years to the amount 1f 100000
and that the rates had been S2590 less,
this year, since he had applied for aid
through the Interstate commerce law.
The meeting Of the Board of Trade
was one of the most interesting that
has ever been held. The matter of hay
ing q banquet for the heads of the
various industries of the town was
taken up and voted upon favorably,
and it was further voted to take up at
that time plans for improving indus
tries and getting others.
John C.. Griffin gave some good ideas
and encouragement in regard to a rail-
road being extended from Skowhegan
to Norridgewock. He said; Il believe
it is only a question of time when this
road will be built. If Nerridgewock
bridge has been condemned ard if
new one is being built at Scion 1T
would look as though this road would
be built before long" He said he had
talked with man that claimed to
know that the Maine Central Railroad
Co.. was planning to build this
road in short time. The matter was
left with the railroad committee. com
posed of C. A. Ross, A. r. Jewett and
]. c. Griffin to investigate and see II
plans could not be fastened. The
question of having mail distributed IN
the lock boxes at the post Office, on
Sundays, was discussed and voted upon
favorap bly,. The matter will be taken
up by the board with the postmaster
general. 1t was voted to appoint
committee to consider the Skowhegan
Board of Trade joining with other
Boards of Trade on the Kennehec riV-
err and the Central Maine Power co.
for the purpose of promoting business
and getting new industries. 1t was
voted to inaugurate campaign Tor
the purpose of warding off the passage
of radical tariff measures before Con-
gress.

THE MAsHER.

A Chicago policewoman says the best
way to put a 'masher'' TO flight is to give
him contemptuous look. In her exper-
ienoe with such persons look has always
proved effective. 1t appears that she has
been singularly fortunate In her encoun-
ters with the type of man who seeks to
force his attentions on every attractive
woman he happens to meet. She credits
the ''masher'' with more sensibility than
he possesses. The man who is capable OF
''mashing'' seldom has enough self-re-
spect to be humiliated by an icy stare,
He is more apt to be amused than other
wise and were it not for the fact that he
has a healthy fear of the woman appeal
ing to a friendly policeman, her husband,
or a brother. he would probably make
himself still more obnoxious Your true
''masher" is seldom fighter, and for
very good reasons, He is cur to begin
with and he has no ground to stand on.

Eugenics in Wisconsin

Governor McGovern of Wisconsin
has signed the Richards bill requir-
ing every man applying for a mar
riage license to hold a certificate of
good health from licensed physician;
also the Chinook bill prohibiting the
marriage of second cousins. He had
previously signed bills prohibiting the
marriage of persons afflicted with
epilepsy and providing for the sterili-
zation Of habitual criminals and in
sane, feeble-minded and epileptic per-
sons confined in public homes and
asylums.
AS originally introduced, the Rich
ards bill required both parties to a
proposed marriage to present health
certificates, but this was amended so
as to require only the male to hold
such a certificate. The provisions of
the act are stringent. Persons who at
tempt to evade the law by going out

The Auditorium Need

Few investments that the city of
Atlanta has made have resulted in
such benefit as its auditorium. Feel
ing the pressing need of large build
ing for public purposes, enterprising
citizens advanced the money and built
the auditorium with an understanding
with the authorities that the ~city
would finally reimburse those individ-
uals who had put up the money. The
city carried out its promise within 12
months.
Every southern city of the 100000
population class has a large audi
torium or convention hall and in most
of them the city has provided this i'm
portant attraction.
1t is particularly desirable that Bir-
mingham should have an auditorium
with seating capacity sufficient to
accommodate the largest of the ma
.tional meetings. Next year Birming-
ham will have ample hotel accommo-
dations and with an auditorium it
would be easy to induce important
national organizations to hold their
annual meetings here.
The voters of Birmingham will have
an opportunity next month to say
through the ballot whether or not the
city should issue 5 per cent bonds not
exceeding 100000 for the purpose of
supplying this pressing need. For
little less than 100000, perhaps, an
auditorium with seating capacity of
10000 could be built and furnished.
After the first year or two the reve-
nue. from the auditorium would al
most, if not quite, meet the interest.
Birmingham needs many things, but
nothing of a public character is so
much needed at this time as the audi
torium. The voters should bestir
themselves and register their approval
of the auditorium proposition by a
large majority.
