il is declared by the health experts.
The very latest and most striking
form Of philanthropy of which we nave
heard, is that of a large Boston drug
concern with many branch stores, to
furnish free drugs to all poor who are
unable to pay for needed medicines;
and this on the bare recommendation
of amy practicing physician. a brief
note or the physicians professional
card with the prescription is sufficient.
1t is something bigger than appears at
first glance. 1t will undoubtedly mean
the giving away of thousands of dol
lars annually and a great reduction in
the sum total of human suffering, q
lowering of mortality rates. In this
wicked world of ours are thousands of
big-hearted professional men who
gladly give their services to needy hu-
manity, but they are the ones who are
always too poor to buy medicines for
those whom they freely treat. The
meaning, then, of this announcement
by a great drug concern to supply the
very poor as standing policy, is

bigness and progress of human af-

Two Interesting Experiments Launched In
Domain of SoCiology=-=The bad Boy

ing the necessity of the Last Chance?
1t may be seriously doubted wheth-
er the twelve boys selected for the
second experiment are the worst"
in the twelve contributing states. SO
far as the statistics show, there is
none from Kansas City, possibly none
even from Missouri. The designa-
tion Is merely relative and serves no
more useful purpose than to empha-
size the so-called badness" of the
subjects of the experiment. Appar-
emily the question of race does not
enter into this enterprise and it may
be taken for granted that not even
majority of the incorrigible dozen be-
long to any one race. All of the
twelve boys are admitted to be in
desperate state of badness They
are so bad that they are to be
given the last chance" which may
have been, who knows? forced upon
them by the fact that the first
chance" was withheld? Out in the
big West, away from the surround
ings which warped their minds and
souls, which watered and made strong
the evil in them and dwarfed and
stifled the good. they are TO be used
to prove that a righteously construct
i've environment will solve even the
hardest problems of character which
are precipitated by an unrighteous
and destructive environment.
The problem in both the expert
ments is hardly that of whether en-
vironment or heredity is the stronger
but whether or not they are the
same. Who shall say that many
things which are loosely ascribed to
inheritance are not in reality the
legacy of surroundings. The evolu-
tionists will not be confounded If
heredity is relegated to a position of
secondary potency, for more things
than soil and sun, mountains and
seas, forests and plains, enter into
the development of human beings
and their character. Out of the prob
lem the student will get little of
value if he permits his mind to be
swayed by its dramatic picturesque
ness. II it holds any lesson worth
remembering it is this: That every
human being is entitled to the first
chance, and the second, and the hun
dredth, and the last, to the very verge
of opportunity's farthest notation.
Goodness" and badness are not so
much the result of race or color, of
the tint of the skin or the slant of
the eye, as of the opportunity which
may be called environment for waant

Wanted-A Poem.

Editor Kennebec Journal,
Dear Sir:
A few weeks ago you published a
poem entitled, THE Indians Prayer"
1t was very familiar, taking me back
to my childhood, when it was one OF
the popular songs, and it brought to
my mind another entitled, 1.-The In
dian Philosopher" sung to the same
tune. / have tried in vain to recall the
wofds-and can get but two lines:
They lost their fellows on the road
And never Joined their hands"
Evidently it was founded on the idea
that matches are made in Heaven, "
but strayed in coming to the earth
Then was also something about Cruel
Fate" Can any one give it to me?

The fifth and last number of the first
volume of "Sprague's Journal of Maine
History" has been received This issue
is equal to any of the previous ones,
containing as usual much matter of
great value and importance along the
lines of Maine history. 1t is by far
the most attractive in makeup and
style of any of the previous issues.
1t contains an excellent index which
will be highly priced by all. The editor
states that while its publication was
considered an experiment the results
are satisfactory and have exceeded our
most sanguine expectations" and adds:
I'VE have fully demonstrated the fact
that there is in each community a cer-
tain per cent. of the inhabitants who
are greatly interested in the history
of Maine. This portion may be small
as compared with the number who
are concerned in religion. politics,
sport, fiction, the sciences, ETC., but yet
they do exist even in the remotest

was the day after their anniversary at
church when the pastor and the audi

congratulations. Mr.. Cummings is a

they resided on farm at Maple

When he left the farm Mr.. Cummings
bought the Dorman homestead in
Belster's Mills and had it remodeled,

and taste of it's owners. Mr.. Cum

About five months ago Mathew
Johnson, formerly sailor on the bat
tleship Olympia, started from East
port, Maine, in an 18-foot sailboat,
provided with an auxiliary motor,
bound for the port of San Francisco.

reached Havana. He was taken to

! Vidaurrutia, the physician on duty,
who following the instructions of Dr.
Guisalt, and taking into account that
Mr.. Johnson was in perfect health,
and proved besides that he had come
from Key West, gave him liberty to
come ashore. Last advices state that
Mr.. Johnson went in the direction of
the Panama canal. The first port
where he made a landing was Port

was well received, sold many souvenir

Edmund Marsden Hartley" he
called himself when he had a studio on
Lisbon street in Lewiston. Now, the
Gossiper notes in New York criticisms
of his art exhibits that he has reduced
it to tMarsden Hartley" Perhaps he
is seeking that euphony he professed
to find in the name of one of his stu
dents, when he wrote, There is music,
there is rhythm in your name quite
worthy of it's bearer. Its harmony,
extending, softly strays about and
through the labarinthive greys of my
own soul" The Auburn Art Associa-
ton, adopted or kidnapped by this re-
markable person, respected his genius
but even then termed him queer"
For a time after leaving Lewiston,
Hartley was aided by Mrs. Ole Bull of
Boston, but he soon went to New
York to fall headlong into the "Cubist"
fantasies. Kenyon Cox labels Hart
ley's pictures "nugatory" or trifling
and useless. But Hartley tells his
own story in his own way and one
can't help being impressed by the logic
of his argument. Read:

Despite the circulation of rumors
| in some quarters to the effect that
President Carl Z. Milliken of the
Maine Senate is to be a candidate for
nomination for Governor in the Re-
publican primaries in June, 1t is
known by his closest personal and
political friends that Mr.. Milliken has
no intention of opposing Gov. William
I. HaineS in this manner. President
Miiliken is planning to spend the win
ter of 1914-1915 in Florida, if business
affairs will permit. and he is not seek
ing any political office this year. 1t IS
known that he is not averse to pro-
motion to be the chief executive of the
State at an appropriate time, but he is
aware of the prior claim which Gov.
Haines has to the nomination. City
Solicitor Benjamin w. Blanchard of
Bangor is to be a candidate for nomi-
nation for mayor of Bangor in the Re-
publican city convention next month,
further political gossip tells us. He
ran against Hon. F. O. Beal last year
but lost the nomination. Former
Judge Harry NJ. Mansur of Auburn is
being mentioned as Republican candi-
date for mayor of that city, and the
earlier report that an endorsement
would be extended to Mayor A. W.
Fowles. Progressive, is disputed by
Republicans in that city who usually
make the fight for municipal control.
