Peace, Not War.

Inter arna silent leges, and the mo-
:alities are silent also. But the whole
tendency of human civilization is to
eliminate war or to render it more and
more abnormal Machiayellism is there
fore it would seem, reactionary poll
tics, suited in minor degree, it may
be, to state Of things which we are
outgrowing, but utterly useless and
mischievous III the civilization Of today.
The Roman empire, which Machiavelli
30 greatly admired was largely found
ed in bare military necessity and was
sustained by conquest, but the chief
modern states are founded in industry
and the arts Of peace, and war is with
them terrible and rare exception to a
general rule Of peace.
The doctrines, therefore, which We're
evolved by one of the most subtle Of the
world S thinkers, at a time when his
country was rent asunder by the feuds
of contending states, are utterly out of
place in the conditions imposed by mod
ern life. The state which repoe's in the
good will of its citizens is the most Sc
cure, and if the dread occasion should
arise when it must draw the sword to
defend its very existence its citizens
will be the more strongly armed for the
encounter because of the habit Of social
efficiency which has been cultivated by
obedience to the doctrine that the one
ground for the existence of the state

In the making Of quick doughs (by

not given in any cookbook, 80 far AZ the

proceed as follows:
Into one quart of -four (measured

when the mixture will be as smooth u

roll out quickly, cut (if for biscuit) and
bake at once in a rather hot oven.
Some flours require more wetting

is a dough as soft as can be handled.
A little flour more or less will not

The Shoe Factory.

A meeting of Skowhegan Board of
Trade was held at the store of Went
worth & Oak, Friday evening, on call of
the president, S. W. Gould, Esq. The
call set forth the object of the meeting
as follows:
You doubtless know that the Bloom
field Shoe Co. has under consideration a
proposition to move its business from
this town. 1t is important that we use
every reasonable means to retain this in
dustry, which distributes $4,000 an.
nually among our people, and to this
end, you are invited to meet with other
business men at Wentworth & Oak s
store tonight at 80 p. m.
The evening WAS a stormy one but
about 20 business men assembled in re-
sponse to the call.
Hon. G. A. Marston, treasurer of the
Bloomfield Shoe company by invitation
of the chair made a statement showing
the situation of the company and the
shoe manufacturing business here.
The company has been running four
years, the capital to do the business
being largely furnished by Mr.. Marston,
but because of the limited amount of
available capital the business was re-
stricted and done at a disadvantage.
The company had struggled along
through the hard times, had kept its
head above water when many other shoe
companies in the country had gone to
the wall. 1t has established a reputa-
tion and market for its goods and has
place in the business world that is
valuable. The competition in the shoe
manufacturing business is great and the
company has to compete with others
having large capital and unlimited
credit. To do this successfully the
company must do more business and to
do more business it must have more
capital, 1t has q very advantageous
offer to 90 to Freeport and consolidate
with the Gushing Shoe Company there.
That company has fine, large factory,
under a lease of five years at 81 per year,
and has no taxes to pay. In the matter
of freights and railroad fares the respect
able sum of 81, 800 could be saved annu-
ally by going to Freeport, but the
Bloomfield Company is composed of
Skowhegan men who desire to remain
here and for this reason they give Skow-
hogan citizens opportunity to show their
interest in the business and retain it
here.
George b. Stafford, president and
manager of the Bloomfield Shoe Com
pany, explained to the meeting the ad-
vantages of being able to increase the
business to double the present product
and said ii was the only way the busi-
ness can be made reasonably profitable.
Mr.. Marston submitted proposition
for the consideration of the board as
follows: He will loan the Bloomfield
Shoe Company $4,000 for use as work.
ing capital if the citizens of Skowhegan
will show their interest in the company
by loaning it like sum. This would
give the company ample capital to
operate the plant and very largely in
crease its business
On motion of j. 2. Oak committee
of five, President Gould and four mem.
bers, was raised to take the matter into
consideration and report at a subsequent
meeting. l.. w. Weston, A. e. Blunt
j. p. Oak and w. p. Ordway with the
president, constituted the committee.
