and most energetic young men to leave
Maine and live in the most primitive
manner deprived of the social COM
forts and pleasures with which they
were surrounded at home; their pride
and energy causing them to live in the
most isolated condition with sur
roundings that could in no respect
compare with Maine, when if they
could have been kept in Maine and
brought to realize the great possibili-
ties of the old 'Dirigo State they would
have been better off in this worlds
goods and lived a much more pleasant
and satisfactory life.
We are largely responsible for this.
For long period we did absolutely
nothing to prevent the ut-going of
our best blood and all too frequently
joined in the cry that Maine was a
good State to emigrate from, a good
State to be born in but to leave as soon
as we were old enough, etc. instead Of
manifesting that universal spirit of
loyalty to our State that is always in
evidence throughout the West. AS a
cowboy at Big Horn Station. Montana,
said TO me in answer to my inquiry as
to What kind of country is this .
Sir he said. this is Gods Country.
and yet as far as you could see in
every direction nothing but sage brush
and sand not tree to be seen any
where, and the Thought came to me
why is it that the people of Maine who
have so much more than this cowboy
to be thankful for are SO Indifferent
and fail to appreciate the multitude of
blessings with which they are sur
rounded by everything that exalts and
embellishes civilized life The empire
of undeveloped wealth, the healthful
climate and the leaven of that stern
old Puritanism which has meant so
much in the past and still means so
much in the future of this nation
Il met a gentleman last summer
from the state of Indiana in a hotel at
Augusta, who engaged in conversation
with me. He asked what kind of peo-
pie inhabited Maine. ! said, If you
ask me l will say the best on earth

The LEGISLATURE

today sent his first veto to the Legis-
lature. 1t was a rejection of bill
which aimed to transfer the regulation

RAILROAD RATES
Continued from Page one)

Except in such instances as the
commission may grant permission to
the carriers, for well-defined reasons,
to exact higher rate for the shorter
than for the longer haul, the roads
will be required precisely to conform
to the laws provision.
To what extent compliance with the
orders may affect the revenues of the
roads, the commission has no means OF
determining accurately because that
will depend largely upon the volume of
traffic, which is a variable quantity.

boy Karl Is said to have been naturally
endowed with no extraordinary apti-
tudes," and his father disclaimcd all
intent of manufacturing him into a
prodigy or even savant. His aim
was the honest ideal Of every educa-
tor, a full. rounded, balanced develop
ment OF all the powers of a man: and
especially the avoidance OF waste in
the process, waste OF time and energy
not to inject knowledge but to oduce
the faculty of reason. Pastor Witte

ers and may help parents.
The question Is: Should the child's
mind be left undirected until compul-
sorry fusion with the public school sys-
tenn operates, or should he be trained
mentally from the very dawning of his
intelligence? The choice Is utterly OBJ
vious: no thinking person will seri-
ously deny the advantage OF direction
that is applied without compelling force
ural bent of the mind. Discipline be-
longs to n later stage. But in discus
sions OF this matter confusion and flu
tility result from the attempt TO formu-
late rules of general application; 1t IL
a business in which the circumstances
of the individual case must decisively
prevail. Instances Of natural unstimu-
lated prccoclty are absolutely sterile of
public benefit: those in which special
training has had remarkable results
may prove that much more can he done
with tho ordinary mind than Is ordi-
narlly done with Il. but must neces-
sarily be objects Of universal curiosity
rather than of universal helpfulness
through emulation.
The reflection with which It's readers
will finish Pastor Whites book is tina,
while there IL no lack OF ordinary
minds to be trained there is de-
cidedly a lack of extraordinary minds
