The Way It Works.
{ Beverley Times.l

Prohibition is making trouble for Mas
sachusetts, but in different way than
some expected The trouble is that there
fought to be" 900 prisoners to work the
state farm in Bridgewater, but there are
only $50. The farm has depended upon
receipts of "bums," ''drunks" and ''ho-
boes" for the production Of crops and the
supply is short. The county Jail in Spring
field, to which an addition was planned
year os SO ago, is now conducted at a
loss because there are not enough oc-
cupants to produce a respectable output
ofsumbrellas from the Jail shop, and plans
are nearly complete to close the jails IN
Berkshire, Franklin and Hampshire coun-
ties and concentrate all the Western Mas
saehusetts offenders in the Springfield
prison. OF 1900 cells in the county jails
Of the state only 1900 are occupied, and
these are emptying so rapidly that the
: Jail employees are worrying lest they lose

The number of licenses revoked dur

The Married School Teacher.
OHolvoke Transcript

The ouestion of having married
women as teachers IN the public schools
has long been bone of contention.
And in most cities and country com
munities the married woman has been
declared ineligible. But now comes
ALONG the Carnegie Foundation for the
advancement of teaching, which says
1sIn an educated and professional lily
we'll trained woman marriage and the
deepening experiences of motherhood
could not but serve to clarity her III
sigb+ to broaden and humanize her
sympathy, and to intensity devotion GO
her central purpose, purpose that
would then link together and co-ordl,
ro+a the processes of both home and
school. If married and householder
having children, the teacher becomes
vitality interested and respected factor
in society.
The objections to the married woman
AZ teachers have been that the married
woman is provided for; that she mlgh'

A New Game Hog.
Rutland Herald

State fish and game officials are of the
opinion that a new Species of game
hog" is at large around the rivers and
streams of the state-the man who uses
dynamite to secure a supply OF fresh
fish. Complaints are continually reach
ing the officials of the number OF dead
fish along these streams. This is de-
clared to be the result of dynamite, the
dead fish being those that the dynamiter
did not or could not use. The number
taken away is small. The serious feature
is the number left behind and such prac-
tees will soon have a ruinous effect on
the game fish of the state. State officials
re on the trail to apprehend these whole.
sale fishers who are rapidly undoing what
the state has done in fish culture. They
should have the whole-hearted support
'.of the claw and order" element.

John d. Rockefeller born of humble
parentage in the little town of Rich
ford, n. Y, 81 years ago today, is now
believed to be the richest person in the
world so far as worldly wealth goes,
He owes the bulk of his vast fortune
to his control of Standard Oil, the most
resourceful corporation in the worlds
history, of which he was chief organ
izer and for many years the directing
genius of its intricate mechanism. Long
ago Mr. Rockefeller declared his ambi-
tion in life had ceased to be the aecu
mutation of the greatest human for
tune. Still, in constantly increasing
ratio, the dollars in the Rockefeller
strong box have piled up. Even if Mr.
Rockefeller worldwi reputation
for benevolence to educational an6
other institutions, his keen insight into
the underlying reasons for human en-

great characters of the world, he viii

The Republicans today have very lit
tie 10 worry about. Their chances were
favorable whoever was the choice of
the San Francisco convention, and now
they are roseate. The fact that Cox
comes from the same state as Hard
ing will bother them very little. The
election this fall will be no one-state
affair. The winners will have a mar
Gin of many states and the Democrats
will have only themselves to blame.
They were given an opportunity to
make a real fight of it, and they de-
| libcrateIy threw it away.-Greenfeld
Recorder.
Talk of this kind reflects a mental
attitude which is extremely dangerous
to the ehances4of Republican success at
the polls next November. The claim
everything policy is familiar one
in politics but it often misleads the
public into dangerous state of over
confidence. In our humble opinion the
prospects of Republican victory are
brighter than those of the opposing
party, but there is no warrant for the
statement that the Republicans have
little or nothing to worry about. On
the other hand, they must worry, and
work, from now until the end of the
campaign if they are to come out on
top.
Cox and Roosevelt may not be con-
sidered by some the strongest ticket
the Democrats could have nominated
but it nevertheless is one that will make
an appeal to a wide variety of inter
ests, and the name of the vice presi-
Dental nominee is in itself worth
thousands of votes throughout the West
Besides nobody with trace of frank
ness will attempt to claim that the Re
publicans named ticket ESQ strong a:
to be Self -electing. And the platform:
differ only in detail.
No matter what we may wish were
the case the actual situation, viewed
at this point in the campaign, is thai
the Republicans are facing the stiffest
kind of battle. They can win, W.
. believe and hope, but not by calm as
sumption of victory.

Useful Arithmetic.
lKeene Sentinel.l

A timely suggestion for the framing OF
arithmetic work for the coming school
year Is that it be taught in such a way
that every child. by the time he leaves
school, shall have an understanding oil
the basic principles of modern book
keeping, cost accounting and merchah-
disc mark-up.
Frank Vanderlip has said that we are
a nation of economic ilhterates, and ne
is about right If the average employe
had a better understanding of the differ
ence between gross profits and net
profits, the meaning of overhead and
labor turn over, and their cost and enect

upon prices, he would be less inclined to
think that every cent which comes into
the office with the exception of his own
wages went straight into his employers
pocket, and thus one source of labor UNI
rest would be checked.
In speaking of this subject one man
has said: "A public understanding OF
debit, credit, overhead and turnover is
not only a lasting answer to socialism
but is the way to a more equitable dis
tribution of wealth and its proper con
servation-public thrift"
1t is possible to teach these things
simply, so that a child can understand
them, and the child might far better gel
his arithmetic through living problems
dealing with such subjects than by some
method less Immediately practical.
