Merrill st., ever which heavy

DRINK OR SAVE, WHICH?

There are many people in this
country Convinced by observation
that prohibition is a very favorable
sactor in the material success Of the
working people. that money which
was thrown down upon a sloppy
bar now goes into the savings &C
count or for material comfort. Such
people, noting the millions expended
by the debtor nations that are moan
ing over their debts. would have
more sympathy were the debtors to
cut out the booze.
Sir George Paisl, one Of the lead
ing economists of England, said:
Prohibition is an economic question.
There are two reasons for this.
First, we must admit the working
classes will command, from now on,
greater share of the worlds goods
than they have been getting before.
Secondly, the difficulty of securing
capital from the classes that
formerly supplied capital will be
exceedingly difficult because Of
taxes and fear of the future.
Therefore, unless the working peo-
pie make savings and provide
capital. world business will be at Il
standstill. In England today they
spend from 400,000,000 Pounds to
00,000,000 Pounds on drink. ii
half that amount was saved in Eng
land AMI elsewhere among the ma
tions, the problems of the world
would be solved. AS an economist
consider prohibitiop is necessary
and inevitable"

ANT.HiLLs vs. eEEHIvEs

The Hon. Nicholas Murray Butler
remarks that "the ant-hills of civil
lization are always crowded; its
beehives are too often empty. 1t is
the function Of the university to help
populate the beehive" Evidently he
sets that which converts. and stores
a useful product above that which
represents a hurrying to and fro for
mere existence.
He would not deprive youth the
training Of experience and Is scorn-
full of all the efforts to do SO. by
whatever fanciful title such efforts
are labeled. And he adds:
1.-THE ability to read has we'll nigh
disappeared If the reading be SER
ious, instructive or ENROLLING; the
ability to write, so far as 1t exists
at all, delights to manifest itself in
forms of exceptional crudeness and
vulgarity: the ability to perform the
simplest Of mathematical operations
Is. to all intents and purposes. con-
fined to teachers of mathematics or
to specialists in that subject"
He makes no mention of spelling;
perhaps he thinks the crossword
puzzle craze will reform that,
though such an assumption would
require optimism on the part OF
those accustomed to see the at
tempts at spelling made by many of
the pupils in our schools.

DELAYS ARE DANGEROUS

Governor elect Brewster is evil
IDENTIFY resolved to do what he may
to encourage a cooperative effort
for early consideration by the Legis-
lsture of important measures. If he
may be no more than partly sue
cessful in this it will help. The jam,
which always has come at the close
and always will--the unwise legis-
1ation that is likely to go through
when the jam breaks, this, perhaps,
may not wholly be avoided, but
surely some improvement, can be
had il the Governor and the Legis-
lature insist upon it.
The primary law is to come up
for consideration: why shouldn't
that consideration be begun soon
after the committees are chosen?
Those who for any reason may wish
to tangle this up with some other
important measure will seek delay,
of course. Whenever there is
protracted delay of measures it is
generally advisable to turn over the
chip and see If there isn't bug
underneath.
We don't believe the people want
the primary law as it is now. so
that members of one political party
may take part in nominating the
candidates Of the other party for
whom. in many instances, they do
not intend to vote. Whatever peo-
pie do want will receive Better
treatment before the Legislative
tangle becomes too intricate and
.tewildering for the public to follow.
and II they will bestir themselves
they can secure It.
There is the question Of a bridge
across the Kennebec; 1t is coming
up and should stand on its merits.
It shouldn't be log-rolled to the in
jury Of the highways. other bridges.
or any other important matters. Is
it too much to say that before any
plan should receive consideration 1t
should be presented in compre-
heusive form? Why should the law
makers give Of their valuable time
to consideration of anything less?
There has been ample opportunity
IA the past two years to secure esti-
mates and bids. Today the State is
in . dilemma respecting its high
ways because the bridge question
became hopelessly involved in the
last Legislature. II this happens
again It will be an imposition on
the public.
These are but few Of the many
matters which we may expect will
be brought to the attention of the
lawmakers. We mention them as
among those, delay Of which would
seem inexcusable. because they have
been in the public mind sufficiently
long SO that opinion should be able
quickly to crystalline. Governor
Brewster should receive public sup
port In his effort to expedite mat
tiers; influences for delay should
correspondingly receive rebuke. As
to the most important matter to re-
ceive consideration no one now
knows; the unexpected may be ex-
pected. Keep the decks clear
against its coming. A popular
slogan respecting Legislative pro-
ceedings may well be: Delays are
Dangerous"

Snow Tracks

When the moon rides high and the
snow is white,
And the air is frosty and chill.
There's many a traveller out at night
A-journeying over the hill.
Where do they come from? Whittier go
Making tracks on the midnight snow
There's a path that leads to the SPUR
rels house
At the edge of the hemlock clump:
And here is the track of a bold brown
mouse
On his way to neighborirg stump.
Only the prints of their feet to show
They passed this way on the mid
night snow.
Here are the marks on the snow-cov-
cred rocks
OF the rabbit feet, light and swift;
And there is the trail of a sly. red fox
Where a partridge hid in the drift;
Many a tragedy comes, l know,
When the red fox prowls on the mid
night snow.
