Tributes to Late
Mrs. L. MN. Stevens

Among the tributes to the memory
of the late Mrs. Lillian NJ. n. Stevens
are the following:
To the editor of the Kennebec Jour
nal
| should like to add a word of
tribute to the remarkable woman who
has just passed from us to the higher
life. Mrs. Stevens was sustained and
upheld in her work by an unfalterins
faith in the ultimate triumph of a
righteous cause. One of the great
needs of the world is just this belief
that inspired her-that God is on the
side of right and justice and if we are
working for them we are working
with Him. Her devotion to the cause
of temperance and her belief, ex-
pressed at the last, that she could still
work for it in another world, will be
source of inspiration to those who are
left to carry out her plans for its ad-
Vancement.
Perhaps some OF us in her own
State, where she was familiar fig
ure, may not realize how much she
was honored and reyered in all parts
OF the world. / met last year a young
woman from New Zealand who was
lecturer for the Worlds w. C. T. T.,
and she said to me: DO you realize
what a wonderful woman you have in
Maine?'' Then she spoke of the
many times she had been in vast
meetings in other countries and seen
the people rise to do Mrs. Stevens
honor whenever she appeared. Mrs
Stevens executive ability was re-
markable and she was at her best in
presiding over great meetings. A few
years ago when the National w. c. T.
L. Convention met in Portland the
newspapers, commenting on the mas
terly way in which she presided, said
that no convention of men that had
ever been held in the city had been so
ably conducted. Those of us who are
working for another cause, that of Sc
curing the ballot for the women of
Maine, are glad to remember that as
time went on, Mrs. Stevens spoke and
wrote more and more strongly to urge
the need of the ballot in the hands of
women as the one thing that would
advance her cause more than anything
else. She was thoroughly familiar
with the temperance situation in all
parts of the United States, and it
speaks volumes for the suffrage move
ment that a woman of her experience
and wisdom saw it's necessity
Mrs. Stevens will live in the infu-
ence she exercised on thousands Of
lives that she touched and aroused to
a realization of the need to fight a
great evil. and this influence will not
die but will grow with the years.
Sincerely yours,
HELEN n. BATES.
President of the Maine Woman Suf-
frage Association.

Temperate Contests.

4 few days ago we published a st
Louis dispatch quoting from an ad-
dress by DR.. Arthur A. Knoch of a
Cincinnati high school, on high school
athletics. To our mind it contained
something of good sense and not
little nonsense. The gentleman claims
that football, basketball and long dis
lance races are almost criminal"
Perhaps they are when carried to the
extremes to which some schools allow
their ambitions and lack of judgment
to lead them.
We believe there is whole lot more
in athletics than the mere glory OF
winning. Win at any cost" seems
to be the slogan that animates GER
tain schools and colleges. The cult
walton of true sportsmanship and
gentlemanly acceptance of the for
tunes OF war, seem to be lost to view.
The natural and many times over
mastering determination to excel on
the part of splendid young physical
specimens, is often encouraged and
strained beyond reason by those pro-
noting the sports of a school. for the
sake of the name and the advertising.
We agree that heart breaking long
distance races, and fierce and brutal
football and basketball contests are
degrading. as we'll as destructive of
the physical powers of some of our
finest material for future citizens. But
we are convinced that trainers, ath-
letic committees and sports promoters
are in as much need of instruction on
common sense limits as are the boys
and girls in athletics.
Well balanced physical and mental
powers make for good citizenship.
Temperate indulgence in athletic con-
tests and gymnastics makes fer better
bodies and minds. If neglected, the
system is likely to become out of bal
ance and abnormal Let us not force
the mental or the physical develop
ment of our children to such extremes
as to injure the fair average child.
There should be a happy medium for
study and play, for "all work and no
play makes Jack a dull boy"

High School Boys in the Shops.

Real industrial training that pre-
pares for real jobs is described in a
bulletin on the cooperative plan at
Fftchburg, Mass, issued by the United
States Bureau of Education. Boys
in the Fftchburg high school. who at
tend alternate weeks in school and
shop, are made to feel that their vo-
cational training is serious business.
Here are some of the directions given
to each coop student when he
starts as an apprentice:
Remember that the object of work
is production. Your foreman meas
ures you by the quantity and quality
of your work. Social position does
not enter. In the shop you are not a
high school boy, you are an appren-
tice. Wear clothes accordingly. II
you get the mistaken idea that any
work given you is beneath the dignity
of high-school boy, just remember
you are an apprentice and get 100 per
cent. busy.
1T is YOUR business to get along
smoothly with the workmen and fore
man; and THEIRS to get along with
you.
DO NOT EXPECT any personal at
tention from the superintendent. He
will probably ignore you entirely, but
he knows whether or not you are MAX
ing good. and in most cases, his idea
of you depends upon your ability to
please your foreman. Don't be a
kicker and don't continually bother
Your foreman for higher wages.
NEVER try to conceal defective
work. Take your full measure of
blame, and do not make the same mis-
take twice.
Watch, in a quiet way, what things
are being done around you, and don't
be afraid to ask SENSIBLE questions
A good rule is to think over a question
twice before asking. reputation for
having HORSE SENSE means tina
you are making good.
"FOREMEN and WORKMEN viii
take pleasure in showing you, If yol
show yourself genuinely appreciativ,
of little attentions. II they tell yor
something you already know, dom
spoil their pleasure by telling then
you already know it. but let it be i'm.
pressed on your mind all the deeper
for the conversation may lead to some
thing which is entirely new to you.
THE fool act Of one coop hurt
every coop. See that your actions il
and out of the shop do not bring dis
credit on the coop course"
Representative of the United States
Bureau of Education and others VIII
have observed the work say that thu
spirit OF these directions is carried out
everywhere in the Fitchburg plan

BY the death of Mrs. l.. NJ. n. Stew
ems passes away a great leader of the
prohibition cause, and, in a sense, one
of the notable national figures of the
time. Mrs. Stevens was a woman of
one idea. To that idea she devoted
her life; was obsessed by it; and was
steadfastly true to it to the end. But
as a sincere believer in prohibition,
Mrs. Stevens carried out her convic-
tons with uncompromising fidelity,
and with an unwayering energy that
commanded recognition. Those whom
she wholly failed to convince can at
least say that she was true to her
ideal.

At the time of her death she was
perhaps the greatest of American wo-
men, measured both by what she had
accomplished and by the recognition
throughout the world of what she had
done. She was a woman of whom
Maine was proud and better still she
was woman whom Maine loved. The
matter of right living has lost most
powerful advocate in her death, but
the cause which she represented will
go on and on, for it is right and right

Direction of Political Wind

Another straw indicating the diree-
ton in which the political wind is
blowing this year in Maine. is the cleo
ton in the extreme Eastern city of
Calais. In this election Ralph P, Hor-
ton, the Republican candidate. was
chosen mayor over John A. Sears,
Democrat and Progressive, by a plnr-
atty of 215. A year ago the Demo-
Gratis and Progressives carried Calais
by a majority of something like a
hundred The two votes show an al
most complete reversal in political
sentiment in this city and the result
there is substantially what it was in
Old Town a couple of weeks ago.

G. S. Getchell of Winslow, now serv-
ing on the grand jury at Augusta, has
a very interesting curio in the shape
of receipted bill for tolls across the
old Ticonic bridge between Waterville
and Winslow. 1t is not dated but
grants "A. w. Getchell and Ellis
Smiley and families with the horses
and carriages driven by them in their
ordinary business" permission to pass
Ticonic bridge from the first day of
January, 1869, to the first day of jan
uary, 1864, for the sum of Three dol
lars" And it vas paid in advance.
The document is signed by Samuel
Doolittle ard r. H. Green as directors,
but c.. A. Wood admits over his sig
nature of having received the money.
In addition, the paper stipulates that
teams passing for carrying loads,
whether loaded or not, must pay half
toll and if the bearer carries pas
senger he must stop at the toll house
to pay the toll. This bridge was the
second at this place, being built IN
1885, damaged by flood IN 1855, and
then carried out by a flood on Oct. D,
1859 1t was replaced by the present
structure, which was opened Dec. l,
1870.

Speaking of old-fashioned things,
George A. Sanford of Bath has a
wooden mortar and pestle that stands
IA inches high which have been in
his family on the maternal side for
more than $50 years. The mortar and
pestle were used for grinding, or
pounding spices and coffee for fam
iIy use. 1t came down to him from
the Wheelwright family of Winslow.
In the old days, these articles were
in common household use. In more
modern times, the family coffee mill
for grinding the daily supply of cof-
fee for the family took the place of
the mortar and pestle. Now the spices
and coffee come all ground from the
grocery and these articles are left in
the garnet, their days of usefulness
gone.
