"Roostic" Railroad Rates.

An did you notice that the B angor &
Aroostook, while it named the amount of
the taxes paid or to be paid to the State
of Maine, made no mention OF its In
come2-Aroostook Daily News.
We did notice it, and although not dl-
rectly concerned, would be interested to
learn When railroads ask the public
for favors, or for good will, they place
themselves under obligation to be frank.
The Maine Central appears to accept this
obligation. Possibly the Bangor & Aroos-
took railroad will do so.
And with regard to rates, while there
are many matters to be considered and
the onlooker hasn't the information nee
essary to do this thoroughly, manifestly
rates which are prohibtive or which dis
courage traffic cannot from any view
point be conducive to the financial well
fare either of the railroad or of the COM
munity it assumes to serve. In this same
issue of the News appears communica-
tion from resident of Robinson. In this
he states:
"a few days ago l wished to ship 10
bags of sugar from Bridgewater to this
place, a distance of around three miles,
nd on calling on the agent for rates, ne
informed me it would cost Sic per lO0
pounds, and hired team for less than
half to haul this freight. ."-kennebec

VOTING IN ANCIENT ATHENS
People Had System of Expressing
Their Wishes Very Similar to
That Of Today.

Ancient Athens had at times a very
democratic form of government.
About everything was decided by vote,
even the guilt or innocence of ac-
cused persons, and probably decided
In the wrong about as often as In the
right. From one of their voting
practices we have derived a word In
common use. At one time the people
of Athens possessed the power Of
driving into exile, without making any
definite charge, any leader or prom
inent person. Each citizen voted by
writing on an oyster shell, and the
Greek word for oyster shell, written
In the letters of our alphabet, is os-
tracon. From that we have derived
the word Ostracism, that Is the ex-
Guiding of an undesirable person from
good society. In their elections to
public office and in their courts Of
law Grecian votes were cast by means
of balls of stone, or small discs Of
metal, either white or black, the lat
ter, of course, signifying condemna-
ton.
