WET" and Dry" Editor:
A license for the liquor traffic
confers on a certain class a means
of preying on their weaker breth-
ien--to take their substance and
Ia exchange give them a poison I;
TO cultivate in them an appetite
which destroys their reason; to
tempt them to put an enemy in
their mouths to steal away their
brains; to rob not only the di-
rect victim. but also the helpless
Cnes dependent on him for their
substance.
II it is right to do this, why is
IL not right to license brigandage
and robbery for the sake of the
revenue?
II our personal liberty is un-
duly curtailed by removing the
temptation to take that which
brutalizes, why not abolish re-
stricting laws on other dope?
But of course these things
would never do. Then why not
take another forward step and do
away with this other legalized
robbery? j. E. ROSE.

CELEBRITY CROPS.

What part of the United States is the
most favorable for the growth of ia
nous men? As almost every section of
the country is ready to claim the distinc-
ton, Dr. Scott Nearing, of the Unlver-
sity of Pennsylvania, determined to get
at the,facts in the case. After an ex-
haustive study of who's Who in
America" and of the United States
census he has reached interesting conclu-
sions,whch he presents in an article in
Popular Science. He unhesitatingly
awards the palm to New England. He
has compiled table which shows that
Massachusetts had IS. 8 names in Who S
Who" for 1910 for every 100000 of its
native white population in 1880, before
which year nearly every person men
toned in who's Who was born. YER
month second place with 75.5,
and next in the percentage column are
various New England states. In brief,
New England has, so to speak, bat
ting,average of 724 while the nearest
rivals, the middle Atlantic States, are
rated 35.9.
1t is not improbable that New Eng
lands pre-eminence in producing men of
genius will Ibe regarded by many as
vindication, if such is needed, of Ameri-
can notions of civilization and social or
der. By..repute our Northeastern States
have the.strictes social conventions, the
most punctilious moral codes, and the
most highly efficient educational sys-
TENS. Considering, in addition to this,
that a large number of New England 8
celebrities were city born, there appears
to be some reason for thinking that our
artificial systems for educating and de-
veloping our youths achieve better re-
suits than are attained to by the West
ern idea of allowing young men to
"expand' more freely and less hamper
ed by preconceived formulas.
While there may be justification for
such an assumption, there is something
else-to remember. All of our valuable
and worthy citizens are not in Who S
Who. B" New England may have eminent
sons, but many people will say that her
men who are not eminent, her mediocre
persons, are less ambitious and ener-
getic, more passively contented with
things as they happen to be, than the
men of the West There is probably
reason in both claims. Our Eastern
methods of training encourage men to
specialize, and specializing is the short
est road to fame Farther west are
countless men of fine character and
elf-reliance, whose posterity may one
day be famous. Rochester Democrat
