that every building in the city south

THE RETURN or THE SMALL STORE.

So long have we been told that big
business is killing little business that it
is rather startling to hear that just the
reverse is now the case. The rise of the
big modern department store seemed to
presage the end of the little shop. We
have held to the idea that it was inevi-
table that few big concerns would sweep
the field clear of many little concerns.
But the shop that makes specially of
one thing hats, coats, gowns, furs, shoes,
stationery, etc., is exerting an exceeding
ly strong pull, especially with the exclu
sive trade. Some daily papers complain
that this competition of lilliputian with
giant has resulted in decreased advertls-
ing on the part of the department stores
amounting to hundreds of thousands of
dollars annually.
Some things are SO subject to the nat
ural law of supply and demand that no
government can altogether overcome, by
artificial barries or restrictions, this ele
mental limitation. Germany, the most
paternal of governments, is now discover
ing that she cannot altogether regulate
the price of footstuffs, even in war time.
We have no laws discriminating in
favor of big stores and against little ones,
or vice versa. People buy where they
can get the most satisfactory service, and
women, who compose the larger proper
ton of shoppers, have decreed the popu-
larity of the specially shop.

THE YELLOW PRESS.

Very early in their history, serious
fault was found with American newspa-
pers. Charles Dickens wrote in his
American Notes:
"What are the fifty newspapers which
those precocious urchins are bawling
down the streets (of New York;; what
are they but amusements? Not vapid,
watersh amusements, but good strong
stuff; dealing in round abuse and black
guard names; pulling off the roof of
private houses, as the Hating Devil did
in Spain; pimping and pandering for all
degrees of vicious taste, and gorging
with coined lies the most voracious NAV !;
imputing to every man the coarsest and
vilest motives; soaring away every Sa-
marian of clear conscience and good
deeds, and setting on with yell and whis-
tie, and the clapping of foul hands, the
vilest vermin and worst birds of prey"
Is this not pretty fair description of
the yellow press of today? And have
not the yellow newspapers and maya
zines calculations that stagger belief?
And finally, is there not much more lib
erty of the press now than there was in
1912?

THE FAIREST HUMAN.

Women are gentler than men; they
are. more patient, but not so fair. The
fairest human is an old man who, begin
ming with good intelligence, has fortified
it with experience, education and age.
Women have more prejudices than men;
they cannot see the truth so quickly.
If women ruled the world as unques-
tionably as do the men, very much
doubt that they would be as fair to men
as the men are to women. The men have
always controlled the courts, the armies
and every other element of strength;
yet women have every right they should
have Men have made severe laws pun
ishing themselves for offenses against
women, and enforce them. In every
case where women are tried before male
juries, the women get the best of it. 1t
is almost impossible to convict woman
of crime which would send man to the
gallcws There are fewer female con-
victs tina male because of male gal
lantry.

THE PRIESTS OF WOODROW.

In olden times rulers were worshipped
by followers who received favors from
the state. Octavius, surnamed Angus
tus, caused himself to be adored in the
strictest sense of the word. Temples
and affairs were raised to him, and there
were priests of Augustus. Hymns
were written and sung in his honor.
Postmasters and others who receive
public rewards are tending more and
more toward worship of those leaders
who win. Some of the newspaper or
gans of Woodrow Wilson are already
saying we should thark God for him;
finally, we shall have the Priests of
Woodrow, temples and affairs erected in
his honor, and hymns sung in his praise,
unless we investigate some of this adora-
ton, and find whether it is honest, or
whether it is inspired by hope Of big
salaries from the Wilson government.

bers of the Club, members introduced
by President Crehore, and poems were
read, after which music and dancing
We're enjoyed. Everybody seemed TO be

AN INTERVIEW WITH THE PRESIDENT,

In its issue of January 9th, the Satur-
day Evening Post printed an interview
with Woodrow Wilson, President of the
United States, in which the President is
quoted as saying about patronage:
Il cannot give my friends what is not
mine. Merely because a man is per-
sonal friend of mine, or has been some
thing or other that makes him think he
is, is not a valid reason for bestowing
upon him an Office that does not belong
to me, but is mine only to administer.
These offices are the nations; they be-
long to the people,
In every town in the United States
there are glaring examples of the Presi-
dent giving offices as rewards to politi-
clans who assisted him in securing the
nomination for the presidency; and
everyone knows that the politicians on
whom Mr.. Wilson has bestowed Offices
are expected to work for his renomina-
ton, and are actually doing it. Every
one knows that Mr.. Wilson has not
given single position to man actively
opposed to his political interests. Every
one knows that the President is playing
the political game as it has been played
by every other President; that the Offices
he bestoWs on his followers, to dis
charge Debts of Honor, pay larger sal
aries than they should pay; that many
of them were created for the use MIR.
Wilson is making of them; that they
were created as gifts to be distributed
by the political chiefs who win by acct
dent or otherwise.
These things are known to all the
world. Why should Mr.. Wilson make
himself ridiculous by solemnly mt king
statement every one knows to be Untrue?

MADISON WATER SUPPLY

AUGUSTA, Me-, March 2. -There was a
hearing before the Public Utilities Com
mission today on petition signed by SO
residents of Madison, complaining of
the service rendered by the water COM
pany of that town. The claims were
made that the service is insufficient. in
adequate, impure and unjustly discrim-
inatory, also that the rates, tolls and
charges are excessive.
The water is taken from the Kennebec
River, which, the compliments say, is
peculiarly unfit. The compliments de-
sire to have meter system installed.
The company denies that the water is
impure, says that it has been analysed
every three months and found to be free
from contamination, and that the rates
are fair and equitable.
