Bar Isrbor.
On Thursda; evening Of last week, at
about 3 o'clock. during the fearful storm
which was raging at that time. flames were
discovered pouring from the roof of little
tenement at the lower end Of Holland
avenue. The occupants Of the place were
Henry Sanders, wife and four small
children, oil of whom had retired for the
night. with the exception Of Mr.. Sanders,
who was caring for his horse at stable
near BY. Mr.. Sanders, being the first TO
discover the fire, rushed in to the rescue of
his children, one of whom, little girl
years Of age, was fearfully burned about the
face, neck. hands and internally, living only
until Friday noon. Mr.. Sanders was also
badly burned about the head and hands.
although, a; this time. hopes are entertained
of his recovery. Drs. Rogers and Morrison
were in attendance. The people of Bar
Harbor may justly be proud of their water
system. and .'score one" for the b, dram, at
the corner Of Cottage street and Holland
asenue adding praise for the members Of
the hose company for their prompt action,
and double praise for the efficient manage
ment of the Water Co., which has given the
village an abundance Of water through such
an extremely cold winter. But for the time
ly assistance Of the fire department, there
must have been a disastrous fire and con
siderable valuable property destroyed as the
vicinity was very closely settled, and the
building burned was but 10 feet from the
West End Hotel stable where the Green
Mountain bsrges and many other valuable
carriages are stored.

Taxes on the Necessaries of Life.

Free traders are artful and specieus,
covert in their movements, using logic
only to make the worse appear the better
reason. Their aim is to excite personal
prejudice, and to alarm their victims
with fear of personal pecuniary loss.
Il is not long since their cry was for a
.'free breakfast table," This was when
there was tax on tea and coffee. Now
that there is none, and they are still un-
happy.
1t may serve, right here, to illustrate
their pretense and insiDcerity, to call at
t,ntion to the fact that their bright ex-
emplar and almost only representative
of an apparent partial free Great
Britain fails to give her subjects free
breakfast table; but, on the contrary.
exacts an annual tax of about $4,000,
900 for tea alone, and a good round ad
ditional sum for coffee, chocolate and
cocoa.
Our captains and tricky friends of the
absurd and impracticable school Of po-
litical economy now make another bid
for popularity, in asking reduction of
taxes upon "the necessaries of life." The
Secretary of the National Association of
Wool Manufacturers, DIR. John l.. Hays,
exposes this pretext very effectually.
showing that the protectionists have
been constantly reducing the cost of the
necessariss of life, by the only method
practicable If there is necessity OF
civilized life, it is found 10 cheap shirts,
underclothing, and bedding of cotton
fabrics. High customs duties establish
ed the manufacture here of cotton cloth.
The tariff of 1919 made the minimum
duty 61z cents per yard, or nearly as
much as the goods cost BOW. and those
of 1924 and 1928 increased this rate. In
1914 the price was 80 cents per yard.
Now our people use 50 yards of cotton
cloth per head per annum. a consump-
tion larger than that OF any nation In
the world. at prices lower than those OF
Continental Europe.
Taxing" these necessarles OF NE mas
thus reduced their cost. The principal
fabrics of wool used by the people are
from so to 90 per cent. lower than IN
1860. Blankets worth 50 then are bought
for $l.25 now. 0vercost cloehs then
valued at $3.50 per yard are sold now for

Where Work is Most Needed.

In no state is there greater need of Re-
publican activity and earnest work than
right here in Ohio. 1t is true that Mr..
Blaine's personal popularity in this Com
monwealth is immense and that little is
known here of anything like opposition
to him on personal grounds, but if there
is any point along the whole line of bat
tie at which the Democrats are massing
their forces for a desperate effort to turn
the tide of combat it is in Ohio. They
feel that here they have little to lose and
everything to win, and it behooves the
Republicans of this State to meet the
foe realizing that here would be terri.
BILE setback for the party in the nation.
We do not fear disaster of this kind,
but over confidence is dangerous thing
in politics, and Ohio cannot be carried
for Blaine by simply sitting down TO wait
for victory to come without exertion.
Moreover, to make the fruits of the elec-
ton of Blaine Logan complete, it is net
cessary TO secure Republican Congress,
and to do this the Republicans of Ohio
will have to overcome an outrageous ger
rymander of the State and carry districts
intended to be sure for the Democrats.
With work there is every reason why
Ohio Republicans should be confident of
a notable victory in October; without it,
there is cause for many doubts and fears.
