Did you ever read that part of Benjamin Franklin's autoblog- raphy in which he says that experi- ence has taught him that the way to convince another is to state your case moderately and accurately, and then scratch your head or shake it a little, and say that that is the way it seemy to you, but that course you may be mistaken about listener to receive what you. say and, as like as not, turn about and try to convince you of it, since you are in doubt; but if you go at him with a tone of positiveness and arrogance you only make an opponent of him? T write this to you in the hope that it may make you stop long enough to think that posaibly you are not &o in- fallible as you think you are. You compliment me because I know the meaning of the red flag of the social- ity | ists, and stated it in my message to | the board of aldermen. It is just pos- | sible that I have done more to make the people of New York understand the meaning of your red flag apd of socialism than all that you have ever said with a stridulent voice, If you wish to be a teacher, just read the passage I have mentioned from Frank- 1in, and cool off a whole lot. Sincerely yours, ‘W. J. GAYNOR, Mayor.” The Bulletin presents this letter, not because it is addressed to a so- cialist, but bacause the contents of it are of value to men of every class who have a cause to defend. There is something to e learned by every would-be reformer in this if ‘he will just accept the philosophy of it for what it 18 worth. 9 A BURNING SHAME. The agricultural editor of the Port- land Express says: “It is a burnivg shame that hay production should average but one ton to the acre and corn 33 bushels. For all this there is no excuse save our neglect to improve our opportunities. So while we place direct emphasis on'the importance of more and better work in the flelds and/ with the flocks, that the average may ; which causes your |- system know a thing the world today. “Oh, 1 believe I know a few things,” said the young teacher, pleasantly. “You think know some modern Well, 1 hope, you do.

I reckon you can tell how many soidiers that fellow had ~when he held the pass r- mometer, or whatever it was, and how long the scrap lasted &nd all about it, but when we get down te modern times you don’t know enough to keep your hat on “The- last teacher we here 1 was plumb ashamed of his ignorance The neighbors used to drep in of an evening and we'd get to discussing topics of the.day, and they'd oftem ap- peal to him, thinking, of course, that 2s he was a teacher he knew @& few things, but I mever saw a time when he could give an intelligent answer to a question. ) “I remember one evening we got a wrangling over the Johnson-Jeffries scrap, and Old Man Bigler held that Jeftries was doped, while I argued to the contrary. Bigler appealed to that teacher for his opinion.

Yet he tmd been yawping about the punkest fight on record. “My boy came home from school the other night and began telling me about & guy named Horatius who had a scrap on a bridge and licked a whole army. I can't find any record of such a scrap anywhere, and I don't believe it ever happened.

It is a good. time now, before active spring work opens, to look over the grounds about the bufldings and per- fect some plan by ivhich the general appearance may be improved. This may call for paint, for grading of the grounds, for cleaning up and picking up about the buildings to get rid of the dnsightly spots so apt tqo multiply, or for seeding and remowing the lawn.

It may be of interest to the readers of The Bulletin to see how the papers England stand upon reciproc- 3 for & referendum in the Green Moun- taln state on that subject s interest- clally as he asks the news- to get It for him. It will show some divisiom, of coursé, but the ma- Jority, wo imagine, will prove to be city streets and city life to the quiet and beauty of the country. ‘They will be attracted to that community, where the home dwellers manifest the live- liest interest in . their natural ‘sur. Foundings, surely not where buildings tell of neglect and dooryards are. clut- tered by the aggregation of sleds, carts, 0ld logs and broken down farm machinery. One such spot will mar the picture of a whole neighborhood. “Why not have a well kept lawn in front of every farm home? It is com- mon with so many that no srgument is necessary to prove its worth for all Why not make the home attractiv the outside in every way, as it is in- side, for the satisfaction it will cer- tainly glve and the reputation sure to follow ?

In fact, w Eng- - land as & whole on a direct vote would ‘undoubtedly record itself 85 per cent. for reciprocity.” “The alleged ruin to New England farmers by Canadian recjprocity is the home asse He also says: “This is a homely little sermon on simple matters, too often overlooked, and the real worth of whiech is not realized.” It is a good sermon to circulate through the six New England states. There is room for improvement in this regard In every state.
