"Our big New York neighbor seems

REGARDLESS Of facts and figures the
World with all the defenders Of the
administration go on urging the need
Of more and more direct taxation on
the pretense that the deficit in reve-

The statisticians calculate that the
total foreign trade for 1916 will amount
to six billions of dollars, and that the
imports for this period will amount to
considerably in excess Of two billions.
Had the Democrats been content with
a reasonably moderate tariff revision.
or even had they been loyal to their
own time honored slogan, "a tariff for
revenue only" there would have been
no need whatever, with such imports as
these, for imposing these burdensome
war taxes" But the free trade ele-

made to deal with conditions ahead.

leaving that great body of water.
Percy Clark, who lives in what was
the Nellie Foster house, corner Pressure
Isle and Choate street, Pressure Isle,
one morning last week, found that
some one had set a fire in the rear of
the stable attached to the house. Two
window-panes had been for some time
out and the opening was partially COW
cred by shingle. However, there was
enough room left so that man could
put his hand inside the window. Right
close to the window was a closet, on
the top of which was an old paper
bag filled with two ladies' hats, old
ones. Some one had apparently put his
hand through the window and started
a fire in the bag, which had burned
up, along with the top of the closet,
which was made of inch boards. The
Goals and cinders had dropped to the
floor of the closet, but in some unac-
countable way, the fire had then gone
out. 1t was indeed a very narrow and
fortunate escape, as there were people
sleeping in the house connected with
the stable.

What a wonderful thing to advertise
a library! Or great art museum!
We might suggest that the idea OF
this writer has not been tried and de-
veloped perhaps for the same reason
that the churches have not advertised
because Of their serene assurance that
the high purpose Of their existence en-
TITLED them to free access to the public
notice. They are waking to the need of
preparedness, if even Gods service is
to be effective-Billy Sunday demands
that $4,000 men be enrolled in Bible
classes before he comes to Boston to
save it from its sins.

ly few years ago that boys and girls
on the farms and in the villages were
hungering for good reading: and today
good books by the million are longing
for the acquaintance of bright young
readers
Why are not the interests Of the
boys and girls awakened by judicious
advertising Of reading that is worth
while? Why are not the thousands of
youth who are menacing their future
usefulness by responding to the uncan-
ny magnetism of the street, persuaded
to form the acquaintance of good
books? Cannot more and more Of these
boys and girls be drawn to the public
Libraries?
The Young Mems Christian Associa-
lions and the Young woman's Chris
tian Associations are doing great work
in their line, but may we not offer a
suggestion? Could not the Boy Scouts
add to their usefulness by systematic
ally urging the boys Of the streets into
the public libraries, there to be inter-
csted in good books?
The blood and thunder novel and the
street brag and bum are an unhappy
combination out Of which the boy OF
unfortunate environment may select
the measure for his own conduct. Gould
not many boys be furnished with a
higher model If we set about introduc.
ing them to the abundant material Of
