The Pottery Industry.

According to jefferson Middleton. of
the United States geological survey
the pottery industry was in high
state of development during 1912. and
the value of its products marketed was
the largest in its history. This was
due partly to the general prosperity
enjoyed by the country at large, but
more especially to the steady i'm
provement in the wares themselves in
body, design and decoration. Ameri-
can pottery is gaining stronger hold
on the market. becoming more popu
lar every year. Many, if not most Of
the best, hotels and clubs in the coun-
try are now using large quantities of
domestic china.
Last year pottery to the value of
United States. OF this sum the do
mestic product was valued at $36,594.-
l64 and the imported product at So
555,53O. The output of pottery for the
United States in 1912 showed an in
crease in value of $1,985,604 over that
for 1911, Every product except stone
ware and yellow and Rockingham
ware participated in the increase. The
variety showing the largest absolute
gain was sanitary ware. which in
Herea sed $870.797, and the largest pro-
portional gain in porcelain electrical
supplies, which increased $695.215. The
value of white ware, including china.
but excluding sanitary ware and
porcelain electrical supplies. was ST.
006, 1876 in 1912, compared with $16,-
424 $50 in 1911. China ware showed
an increase of $119,320. the value re-
ported for 912 being the highest ever
recorded.
Ohio continued to be the leading
pottery producing state of the Union,
reporting wares valued at $15,508,73o
or 42.49 per cent. of the total an in
crease of $733,470. Ohio's principal
pottery product is white ware, which
represents general household wares
New Jersey was the second largest
pottery producing state, the value OF
its product in 1912 being $8,935, ,920, ar

The kaiser's Gifts.

There is a characteristic eembina-
tion of German sentiment and German
shrewdness In the kaiser's request.
which of course amounts to com
mand, that his people should mark the
twenty fifth year of his peaceful reign.
not by giving him costly presents. but
by connecting his name with gifts and
benefactions of charitable or philaa-
thropic nature. from which Germany
as whole will profit.
This is an admirable idea. and not
its least advantage is that it will save
the kaiser from bearing the weight of
obligations that in some instances
would probably be heavy or incon-
venient. 1t also avoids the ungracious-
ness incidental to refusing any tribute
offered perhaps from interested mo-
tives, but nominally due to pure re-
spect and esteem. Under the sug-
gested plan, everybody has a chance to
be as generous as he pleases. and the
Kaisers fame will be increased and
perpetuated in waw with which even
the censorious and hypercriticai can
find no fault, since the material ad-
vantages will all go to those of his
subjects whose deserts or needs have
earned them.
All over Germany, it is reported. this
fine method of marking the ami
versary has been adopted. The great
industrial and commercial corporations
are making special payments to their
employees, either directly or through
pension funds. while hardly. town in
Germany. large or small. has failed to
establish park or a hospital or q
school bearing the kaiser's name. OF
the few gifts to him personally that
the kaiser is accepting. nearly all seem

Slaves and Free Men.

President Hyde of Bowdoin College
In his baccalaureate sermon, sent a
message through the students to the
people of Maine and elsewhere. Boiled
into a few paragraphs are the wis
dom and truths of generations. Let us
take home with us today single par
agraph of DR.. Hyde's words to his stu
dents, for study and understanding
Let us not attempt-to dodge the appli-
cation, for he meant all of us. Let us
ask ourselves and answer honestly and
without personal prejudice, Ito which
class do | belong-slaves or free men?
Here is a part of what President
Hyde said
Men are of two kinds; slaves and
free men, The slave in morals pub
licly processes temperance. chastity,
honesty. AT the club he speaks OF their
violation with such levity and relish
as show mis- professed virtue to be a
thin film of insincerity over a seething
mass of sensuality The free man so
pities the guilty and innocent victims
of the grosser vices, that neither by
light word or secret deed will he have
part or lot in the fearful havoc they
work in human hearts and homes.
..The slave in business is driven by
the lash CT desire to make money.
regardless of how or out of whom 1t
GENES. Yet to his creditors and Gus
toners he makes a lying profession of
seeking to please and serve them. His
slayishnsss appears in the inconsisten-
cy between his real motive and his
selling talk, The free business man
aims to make the services and goods
he offers a genuine benefit on fair
terms to customers and consumers. His
speech declares his thought; and his
deeds make good his words; he is one
man, not two.
THE slave in politics. on the stump
and in mis- platform. processes devotion
to the people and the public good; and
then in the secrecy of the clubrom and
the greater secrecy of the committee
room and lobby. says and does things
which show that office-holding for him
self, and legislative favors at public ex-
: penss for the supporters and contribu-
tors to his party, are the main things
for which he really cares. The free
man in politics says the same thing to
] his constituents in public, and to his
associates and supporters in private;
and does his utmost to enact and exc
cute the policy professed Our pres
ent national administration is giving
the country the finest example of sim
pie and sincere speech. supported by
consistent and persistent action, that
we have seen in any department of
public service since the military cam
paigns Of General Grant. We have to
thank the progressives of both parties
for this sorcly needed emancipation OF
politics from. corrupt favoritism, bond
age to outgrown issues, and cynical in
consistency into the liberty to profess
] a disinterested devotion to the. service
I of the people as a whole, and the pow

men simple, single minded and sincere
is religion; not the superficial religion
