Robin Hood.
(Boston Advertiser.)

When other authorities insisted that
romance was dead, Rudyard Kipling
wrote a poem to the effect that ro-
nance never dies, but merely changes
its manner of approaching human life.
Indeed the romantic is imperishable
though the forms in which people have
become accustomed to look upon ro-
nance are constantly new. For in
stance, Robin Hood is dead, but the
spirit of highway robbery still lives.
In Pittsburgh. the other day. band
Of robbers seized upon the driver of
a taxi-cab and bound him and then
proceeded to hold up motor parties
and pedestrians. They did what Robin
Hood would have done, except that
they depended upon gasoline and he
upon his bow. In another generation,
a sky pilot may be torn from his flyer
and dropped overheard toward the
earth to make room for band OF
sky-robbers, who will sail about the
upper air. swooping down upon the
staid citizen, returning homeward
from his journey and make him yield
up his vaIuables. There will always
be a field for the daring.

Editorial Comment
The Methodist Church.
(Portland Express.)

Does stumbling, faltering humanity
need a hand stretched forth to succor
and relieve? There stands the Meth
odist church ready for every good
word or work. Does SHINING and fall
ing humanity need a hand stretched
forth to uplift and reform? There
stands the Methodist Church pointing
with unfailing finger to the Rock, of
its foundation. Does weak and I'm
different humanity need to be aroused
to civic duty and to activity for right
eousness in State and Nation? There
stands the Methodist Church pro-
claiming the Christian duty of civic
righteousness. 1t is ever on its job
and everywhere on it's job; in the pa
latial city church, in the country
schoolhouse, on the frontier, in the
home of the millionaire and in the
home of the pauper; it never fails to
reflect the Divine Spirit which ami
mates it, which always has animated
it and always WILL Enthusiastic, de-
voted, a force always to be reckoned
with and always found on the right
side, the great Methodist Church
commands our admiration.
Shall we not then give II hearty
greeting as it comes to our city for
it's annual conference. Let the keys
of the city and of our homes and OF
our hearts be extended to these Wis
itors engaged in the greatest work in
the world: to these devoted men and
women who take their assignments
cheerfully, whether they are called TO
wealthy parishes or sent to some far
northern plantations, who carry the
same message here that they take
everywhere else, the message OF
cheer, of love and of loyalty. What
ever other forces in the world are
laboring for it's redemption, wherever
the army of the Lord Is engaged in
battle for His cause, there in the
forefront, bearing its full share of all
the burden is this church. always to
be found Let us give it credit for
its devotion and uphold its hands in
every avenue of it's activities.

Well, he received about three eighths

Now the campaign has already be-

sustained and generally applied, would
strike demoralizing blow at the pub

page in this issue is presented the re-
suit of a long and diligent search into
the subject, from which 1t appears
that several cities may before long be
manufacturing ice and that many more
can if they wish to-
This question of legal right of the
municipalities depends upon the acts
of the several state legislatures. In
some states all cities have home
rule" in this respect and are free to
manufacture and sell ice, bread or even
shoes, apparently, If they wish to. In
other states each city must obtain this
right from the legislature, if it is not
already embodied in its charter.
The question has been raised wheth-
er the state legislatures have the
power to grant this privilege, but We
believe this has always been upheld by
the courts. The Supreme Court of
Maine on April upheld the constitu-
tionality of an act of the legislature OF
that state empowering cities and
towns to maintain permanently a coal
yard for the purpose of selling coal
and other fuel at cost. 1T is sufficient
to say" says the Court. that we see
neither of patternalism nor of social
ism. We do not regard it as a depar-
ture from previous legislation, but in
line with it, although perhaps one step
further The direction, however, is
the same, and the advance is caused
by the development of a new want
which has called for a new exercise Of
legislative power, not an exercise OF
new legislative power. and such an
advance is both legitimate and COM
mendable."
This same principle would apply to
ice manufacture and selling, also, it
would appear; in fact, to almost any
industry for which want" should
develop"
1t is still another question whether
it is desirable for cities to engage in
ice manufacture and sale-whether 1t
would pay, all things considered. On
this point also some light is shed by
the article referred to.

template a considerable amount of
free advertising by the newspapers.
Probably a large amount of this adj
vertising, which will appear 81 pure
reading matter, will be accorded by
the newspapers with greater or less
cheerfulness; and, like all newspaper
advertising will be efficacious in pro-
noting the business. That it all costs
is apparently appreciated by nobody
except the newspaper folks, who are
made we'll aware of the truth in va
rious ways. Mr.. Burleson particular
ly seems to, have no comprehension of
the truth that doing business costs

Board of Health, an extract from
which follows;
Our boys are the men of the years

places as good, patriotic, useful citi-

they need pure air, pure water. simple
food, plenty of sleep, and exercise got
