An out-of town firm wrote recently to one of our property owners desiring to secure an empty store here for a week for a "bargain sale." The gentleman promptly refused to be a party to this throat cutting of our home merchauts, who remain here and pay taxes, and he made his position very distinctly known to the above firm. He is to be commend- ed for his action, which should merit the appreciation of every merchant i. town, of whatever business.

He is convinced that much of the manu . factured cotton will eventually come from the South, where labor is cheap, there are few restrictions and the raw material is right at hand for working.

A Musical Treat.

The entertainment provided by the Piacere club of Woonsocket In Odd Fel- lows' hall on Friday evening was a most meritorions one and exceedingly enjoy- able.

The company came up on the electrics and nearly fifty of their friends accont. panied thein to become better acquaint- ed with Frauklin people and enjoy the social dance which the club provided af- ter the entertainment, Owing to the late arrival of the pianist the concert was somewhat delayed, but all of the numbers were reudered and received ap- preciative applause.

The banjo solo by Mr. Brown, the mandolin solo by Mr. Gilbert and the mandolin duet hy Messrs. Treitell and Mathewson were excellent, and proved that the club contained a number of very accomplished soloists.

Miss Rickard read with excellent ex- pressiou, her selections being exceeding- ly good and her rendering left nothing to be desired. Miss Whiting appeared to unusual advantage and her singing was one of the features of a delightful evening.

Owlug, possibly to the fact that the organization was not extensively known here the atteudance was not as large as the affair deserved, though it Is safe to say that should the organization appear here again it would be greted by a large audience Manager Treitel has gotten together a body of trained musi- cians, and their music is of a more pleasing nature than much that is ren- dered bere by more pretentious organi- zations. "Come again" was the verdict of all that were present on Friday even- lug.

After the concert the dance was gea. orally Indulged in till a little after mid- night, and everyone appeared to thor- onghly eujoy the occasion.

Will You Take the Responsibility ?

The contest for and against license is going to be waged more fiercely this year than ever before. The issue will be squarely met by the honest and con- scientious voter, and it ought to be as fairly met by the fair-minded voter. The voters who "dodged" the question last year may be personally responsible for the result if they repeat the act. The man who dares not fare an issue and vote one way or the other has no standing among reputable men.

The advocates of license insist that, since it Is so easy for those who desire to drink either to go to Woonsocket or to have liquor brought from that place, it would be better for that money to be speut in Franklin, ou the ground that much money is spent there besides what goes for liquor, and home merchants ought to have it.

Again, they assert that the town would be better off financially if It had a num- ber of thousands of dollars from license fees to he used in the various depart- ments of the towu. They insist, fur- ther, that as liquor will be sold in any event, that some revenue ought to be re- ceived by the town therefor.

American Character.

It im quit easy for the scientists to trace the development of the human body and the effects of food and climate and temperaturus upon the humno an- imal The affluent medical literature of the duy is full of instances in which the animal-mau has been under rigid and productive investigation, every part of him and every fiber of him yielding Information for a better appreciation of his physical self. And thus, says a writer in Leslie's Weekly, there are nu- merous prophecies, as to the future form and seml lance of this interesting creature, and we ure sati fril to kaow that wh le bald henes are inen as 1g and dentists multiply, and other spe- c'alists abound more numerously encb year, the prospect is that mau is not going to be civilized into a breathing mummy for many centuries to come. But it is diff rent with the finer part cf the animal. Even the specialists can- not kee a finger ou the pulse of char- neter. It is hard to take chargeter's temperature, for the standards vary Worse than cheap thermometers. We see as far as to-way, and to- morrow has i's mysteries, while yesterday ix for- g tten. In al literature there is not an absol tely truthful presentation of a Truman life. We cannot pal the rhar- ceter in the cage us we can the aaimai and feed it on conditions and emotions to find their tendencies and effects. Ner, to group ourselves together and call the result & nation, can we find ex- actly the points from which to proceed in order to get a verdict. New York and Chicago are wide open on Sunday, and very respectable people sit in restau- ra .: ts eating and drinking as if it were entirly proper, while within 100 miles of either city are communities where e sunday drink is regarded as a crime. Boston and New Orleans would find each other considerably embarrassed if they were to exchange customs and stan ards for a few weeks. San Frao- cisco and Philadelphia would rach ra'se a great ndo if they were lo trade Sun- days. And so it goes over this great lard. It might be discouraging if it were oct for the fact that it takes a". sc. is to make a nation of seventy or eighty millions of people, and they are apt to be right in the main if the thing that holds them together is sound. After years of trial there seems to br no doubt of that, and it is geoerally agreed thot the American character is about as strong as any on the earth.
