1 THE NEW ENGLAND STATES
a
Boston PutJ1cR.Uon Finds Evidence of
Decadence-Can't with

March of Progreas
New England is stale , declares
t the Buffalo 'l'imes. Too far gone
to keep up with the rapid march
. . . of progress , it has dropped out of
the procession The Boston Her-
ald finds evidence in recent statistics -
tistics of the decadence of the
group of states not only ] ill poUt
ical influence and literary eminence -
nence , but also In manufacturing
and commerce. During the past !
. year national banks increased in
number , capital , deposits and aggregate -
gregute resources in other part
of the union , but in New England
there was a smaller number of
bunks , Jess deposits und less aggregate .
gregnte resources than at the beginning -
ginning of 1908 In maulfactur
lug New England has not kept
abreast with other sections i of the
co\1ntrJ' ! 'Plw textile industry iH
in part : absorbed by the 1 hand
other lines of productive } industry
are appropriated hJ' the middle i
and western states
The Herald believes chat special
legislation would restore tn New
England its old . time prosperity ] ,
but there iH grave doubt us to the
advisability of providing it The
Baltimore SIIII , discussing this
proposition ! , ably says that New
