BROWNSVILLE. Tex, Jan. s. Four bandits held up and robbed D. A. Tiliey. paymaster of the Cacalilao Pipe Line company of 7.500 pesos Saturday, according to reports re- ceived here today from Tampioo. The robbery was staged 1o miles from Fl Barco.
 The mention in the above dispatch, of reports received today from Tam pico' would seem to indicate that the report from New Orleans ysster- day to the effect that the rebels had captured Tampico was erroneous. in- asmuch as neither Brownsville nor any other point has heard of it.

Boston Trade School
Speaker Heard at
Meeting KiWanians

The regular meeting of the XII
wants club was held at the Elmwood
hotel last evening, the speaker being
William c. Crawford, director of the
Boston Trade Schools. His subject
was Maine" and after some pleasing
Introductory remarks he divided his
subject into two parts, Maine Bust
ness" and Maine Citizens" He
said that he had heard a great deal
about the development of Maine as a
summer resort state and while he be-
lieved that this was a good thing, it
was not the thing on which to build
for the future of the state. He eX-
pressed his belief that New England
was the machine shop of the nation,
as the mechanics here were more
skilled than in any other part of the
country and it was to New England
that the rest of the country had to
come for the best work. Up to the
present Maine in particular had to
compete with the west and south, as
the iron had to come from the west
and the coal from the south and
freight had to be paid on them and
then freight was necessary on the
finished product. In spite of this
the mills had not gone out of New
England to any great extent, chiefly
because of the skill of the New Eng
land worker. The answer to the
threat of competition from the west
and south is the waterpower which
we have at hand and which should
be developed. This Waterpower
should be controlled by the State, not
by State ownership. but in such a
way that the gains from it's develop
ment may come to all the people. He
spoke of Switzerland as the land
which had control of it's WATERFOWL
er in the right way, renting the priv
ilege of development so that all the
people are getting their share in the
prosperity gained.
If New England wants to hold and
increase its leadership in business it
must develop the training in skill.
After the great exhibition in Phila-
delphia in 1876 when the Germans,
who exhibited there. went home they
were forced to admit that they were
not as good workmen as the men of
other nations. and Immediately by
royal decree the Germans began to
learn trades. until at the time of the
World war it was the leading indus
trial nation Of the world. We in New
England must give more time to
practical training. In this way only
can the judgment of the youth be
developed. All of the big brains of
the nation come from the country
and this is because they get a great
deal more out of school exercise than
they do in the city. Both boys and
girls must be trained and it is
fact that my many years of teaching
has demonstrated to my entire salts
faction that the boys and girls are
better in every way than their pa
rents.
They know more, are better fitted
for life and live a cleaner, better and
more wholesome life than the boys
and girls who have gone before, and
they are growing better all the time
just as the nation as whole is grow
ing better all the time. and it is up
to every one of us to do everything
in our power to develop and help
these boys and girls to grow up in
the right way and to bring to Maine
and to New England the best that
there is in the country.
