died ut his summer home
in Barre, Mass, on Tuesday, May |
20, aged 60 years. He was born
in Denmark in lS49, and was the
thirteenth child of Latin teacher
in Ribe, Jutland. At the age of
Fl years he arrived in New York
City with only $40 in his pocket
and not friend in the city. At

cepted beginners place as a re-
porter for New York news bu-
reau. Later he served as re-
porter on the New York Tribune
and then on the New York Sun.
His real work, however, was fight
ing the slums. While attending
to routine duty as police report
err, he worked day and night TO
arouse the people to the need of
improved living conditions. One
of the first of his campaigns was
against the impurity of the city
water, and it was his fight which
finally led to the purchase of the
Croton watershed to assure safe
drinking water for New York
City. He brought sunlight to the
tenement districts by forcing the
destruction of rear tenements. He
entirely cleared Mulberry, Bend
one of the worst tenement sections
in the city, and replaced the squat
id homes by shady parks. After
% years as a reporter, Mr.. Riis
resigned to continue his fight by
writing and lecturing. Among
the products of his pen are How
the Other Half Lives" The
Children of the Poor" and The
| Making of an American" his au-
photography. Thru his work in
behalf of the poorer people in
New York City, Mr.. Riis was
named by Theodore Roosevelt, his
intimate friend, 1.-THE most useful
citizen of the metropolis.

Two years ago the people Of
this State voted overwhelmingly
against the Single Tax. A ma
jority of 100000 was rolled up
against that scheme of taxation.
That was definite and final. Per
haps another vote upon the ques
ton will not be called for ia
generations TO come. But certain
politicians were not satisfied and
they have proposed Constitution
al Amendment No. 7, which pur-
ports to be aimed against Single
Tax, but its object in reality is TO
make direct legislation next to
impossible. 1t is a slap at the
initiative and referendum. We
like the initiative and referen-
dun. 1t seeks to put legislation
in the hands Of the people as
much as possible, in whose inter
ests legislation is presumed to be
enacted. That is Democratic and
right. You should vote NO on
Constitutional Amendment No. ].

"PIPE OF PEACE" RESTORED.
Graduates of Colby College Are This
Year Enabled to Continue Old
and Honored Practice.

When the class of 1862 left Colby
they introduced custom which lasted
until 1903, with all the succeeding
classes, says the Lewistown Journal.
This custom was that of smoking on
commencement day a pipe. which was
kept at the college for this purpose.
and on this eventful day In the lives
of the graduates they all took a smoke
from the pipe, whether they had
ever smoked before or not. The so
called Pipe of Peace" was an i'm.
mense pipe with stem two feet long
and a bowl with human face en-
graved upon 1t In the front, while
around the sides were found many
other profiles. This wonderful pipe
remained at the college for forty-odd
years and was smoked by every man
who graduated during that time, but
In 1903 it mysteriously disappeared,
and was not heard from until the
past week, when it was returned to
the college. With the disappearance
of the pipe the custom disappeared,
and thus the classes since 1903 have
not had the privilege Of smoking
pipe of peace" Now, however, that
the pipe is safely back at the college
and Is being watched over by Dr. Hal
at the library, it Is very probable thai
the old custom will again be taken W
and that the class of 1909 will on com
mencement day of this year be seer
putting away at this valuable old relic

by the way, is lady, Mrs E. G. Dodd,
who lives in my town. She cultivated
1876 acres this season and made a net
profit on her onion crop of q little
over $4,000. To make land bring a
gain of $400 an acre is something few
men have the ability to do, and yet
this lady does not seem to regard her
feat as emitting her to any great
praise.
Mrs. Dodd looks after every detail
of her farm in person. Raising onions
is no child's play; it involves hard
work and great expense In our sec
