The Farm Boy Who Can Dream

From the Prairie Farmer we clip
the following, believing that it is just
as true in Maine as in Indiana:
1t is a good thing for the farmer
boy to have an imagination. 1t is a
good thing for him to dream dreams
and see visions" 1t takes the dream
er to see the transformation that in =
telligent effort will bring to pass on
the old place. 1t takes the dreamer
to see how much more desirable that
place will be in ten years than a jon
in dry goods store. 1t is the boy
who dreams who sees a field of thrifty
alfalfa where that stunted yellow corn
is growing on the timber forty. 1t is
the boy who dreams who sees those
hungry looking cows with burrs in
their tails replaced by herd of dairy
matrons that tax the capacity of the
milk can at their milking. 1t is the
boy who dreams who sees a waving
corn field where the cat-tails are grow
ing, who sees a woven wire fence in
place of the old hedge, and a new barn
where the COW shed is falling to
pieces. We need more dreamers on
the farm.

Editorial Comment.
Aroostook's First City.
Presque Isle Star Herald.)

(Presque Isle Star Herald)
1t is understood that Houlton is
ambitious to become city, and that
it's representative, Hon. Leonard
Pierce, will introduce a bill in the
coming Legislature providing for the
necessary legislation.
Houlton has in the neighborhood of
1000 population, and is one of the
most soundly prosperous and most
attractive towns in the State. Barring
a slight tendency to increasing con-
servatism, due to its greater age
and much larger wealth. which throw
it somewhat into contrast with the
three younger and poorer large towns
of North Aroostook, Pressure Isle.
Fort Fairfield. and Caribou, one would
search long for any possible ground
of criticism of Houlton, while the
warm and generous social spirit Of
its people, the quality of their citizen
ship, the ambition they have to keep
their fine young city-to-be clean and
beautiful to the eye, and the ability
with which they have grasped and
solved some troublesome municipal
problems. such as lighting, sewerage
and water supply, are all admirable.
When it enters upon the era of city,
hood, the duties thus imposed and
the questions arising out of the larger
relation assumed, will find at hand
a body of citizens amply able to set
the new city at housekeeping just
as it should be in all ways.
While it is too early to talk about
who shall be the first mayor. 1t IS
probably no interference or violation
of good taste to suggest such worthy
and honorable names as Michael NJ.
Clark, John B. Madigan. E. L. Cleve-
land and Albert A. Burleigh. There
are scores of good ones to choose
from, but it seems to us that Houlton
is indebted for the upward growth
which now eliminates in a demand
for city charter. quite largely to tho
enterprise and substantial ability OF
such men as the above named.

Two Glasses of "skates."

To the other tribulations under
which the New York youngsters suf-
fer. such as being forbidden to PLAY
baseball in the street or to indulge
in quiet little game of chance by
matching pennies or shaking dice
there is now likely to be added an
other. The latest move on the part o.
the city authorities looking to the
curtailment of various youthful activ-
tiles has for its purpose the prohio-
iting of roller skating in the streets
AS many protests have already been
made against the use of the side
walks by roller skaters it looks as il
this method of locomotion may be
eliminated from the city's diversified
means of getting from here to there
OF late years roller skating among
children has become SO popular As
to almost amount to a craze. Pedes-
TRANS on the sidewalks have bitterly
objected TO being bumped into and
now has come the demand of The
National Highways Protective Asso-
citation that the roller skater be elm
mated from the streets. Such a law
is believed to be necessary because Of
the growing number of collisions be-
tween children on roller skates and
automobiles and wagons. How great
this danger is indicated by the fact
that of 43 persons killed by vehicles
in the Greater City during the month
ending Oct. %, were children under
Is years of age. II is now hoped tina,
law will be enacted there, similar tn
that passed in Chicago last year, max
ing it Illegal to skate on rollers or ice
skates upon any streets or public
highway except on sidewalks or at
street intersections while crossing
from one side TO the other. While such
a law will undoubtedly make for safe
ty, 1t is likely TO become unpopular
both with the youngsters who use
roller skates and the pedestrians VINO
use the sidewalks to which their
skating will now be confined.
To be consistent, several Maine pa
pers should jump up, wave their arms
and holler. This is ''sumptuary" law
an interference with the personal
liberty Of children. OF course people
do not like to be bumped into by chill
dren on skates, nor do they like &c
be bumped into by booze soaked buns
who have on a different variety OF
skates" AS law to restrict the prop
agation of this latter class of skates
Is denounced as "sumptuary," VIII,
should the gay city Of New YORK
promulgate another form of stump
tuary law?

York is bumped into" by child Il
is annoying and he will probabI,
