Word comes from the headwaters of
the Kennebec that all of the lumbermen
have gotten their timber into the main
river and that the chances for getting
it to market are first class. 1t was
thought that 4 great deal of this Win
ter's cut would be left in the yards.
but it Is said that only few hundred
thousand feet are hung up. The recent
helped things wonderfully in sections
rains. though light for the most part,
where snow is usually abundant at TINS
season of the year. There is good
head of water in Moosehead lake with
several gates open. The head is rather
above the average for this time of year.
Three million feet of lumber arrived
in the main river, Saturday, coming out
of Dead river. and about 100000 came
out of the East Branch at the same
time. These logs are on their way
down the river now. Lumbermen be-
lieve that good judgment in handing
the storage basins will control sufficient
water to bring all the timber to the
saw and pulp mills.

CUNNING STATISTICS.

The indianapolis Sentinel has been
indulging in some cute statistics. OF
special interest are they to Ameri-
can mothers, referring as they do to
the average ca the baby boys chances
IN life. 1t says that the chances are
80. .0OO. 900 to one that he will not be
come president OF the United States,
or vice president. or chief justice of
the supreme court. Yet it holds true
that any baby may reach any of these
places--that is to say there is pos
sibility. until the phenomena of his
development surely count him out.
The chances are 100000 to one that
he will not be a member of the house
OF representatives, and $4,000 to one
that he win never be a governor of a
state. All of these figures are sub
ject. of course, to certain special cir
cumstances possible or otherwise.
One may presume that any Ohio boys
chance Of becoming president is much
better than the chance of a Delaware
or Rhode Island boy if he stays at
home. The chances are SIS to one
that he will not go insane, 1850 to
one that ha win not be blind, 6S4 to
one that he viii not be an inmate Of
a public almshouse, 400 to one that
he will never be an enlisted soldier or
sailor. 1900 to one that he will never
be city policeman. and 91l7 to one
that he will never be president OF a

SUSAN ANrHoNY's PROTEST.

Miss Susan B. Anthony, a woman OF
years and wide observation, contends
with much fcrcefulness that this world
is too freely given to the propagation
Of the race. and says: What this
world wants is fewer children and
those better taken care of and better
born and bred" It is due to Miss An
Ebony to say that she has at least the
courage Of her convictions. and has
steadily lived up to her conception OF
the worlds wants It is not her fault
If there are too many children in this
mortal vale. But we do not exactly
see how Miss Anthony's ideas are to.
be made available except by stringent
statute. That is to say while France
is putting a premium on motherhood,
the United States, by rigid legislation,
will decrease the output, limiting, let
us say the number of children in a
family to its financial status and its
sociological conditions. IL is astonish.
ing how perverse nature de6es Miss
Anthony and presents children where
they are least needed. and it all goes
to show how the law must step In and
arbitfate wisely and justly. Sairey
Camp made the beautiful and philoso-
phic comparison that death is very
.puch like being born except you can't
make your calculations quite as ex-
act" and as Sairey was an undoubte1
authority, her opinion will be most
useful to Miss Anthony in her justifi-
able crusade. We await the progress
of this humane movement with much
interest.

Congressman Eddy, of Minnesota,
who stumDed Oklahoma for Flynn
during the last congressional cam

view on the question of raising the
salaries of congressman and senators,
he mas raked the feelings of more than
one distinguished representative
when he says that not more than ten

President Mckinley had fayorite

senta,ives to commissions where the
emoluments were worth respectful at

that they might live in decent com
fort.
Mr. Eddy's other proposition that

casts little credit upon legislative

that the people do not eend represen-

move for higher congressional salaries
is opposed TO a simplicity in Ameri-

be the most simplicity.
If Republicans think that the ex-

The fact that Henry C. Payne, who

an advocate of so called penny post
age, has led to a temporary revival Of
the agitation in favor Of congressional
action in that direction. Thc aiscus-

that the change in the rate Of letter
