STRONGEST OF NATIONS.

The Chicago Inter Ocean says that
many Americans. when told their coun-
try is the strongest OF nations, are apt
to doubt the statement and to point to
the larger fleets and armies of other
nations as justifying their doubt
War is, indeed, the crucial test Of a
nations energy, but fleets must be
built, equipped. and manned. and ar
mics must be fed. armed. and recruit
cd. and to do these things requires
both wealth and men.
Comparison of the gross financial
re sources of nations Is impossible,
Rut IT is possible TO compare the strain
put upon these resources by the an.
nual receipts and expenditures Of
their governments Here is COM
parison of the United States, Great
Britain, France and Germany for their
last complete fiscal years.
United States. receipts. 1854 $780,
ESQ; expenditures, $3.50, o3s,9o4; bal.
ance. s9i. 2S7,376.
Great Britain, receipts. $685.. 1898, 762 !;
expenditures, 1851, 49s, S5i; balance,
1855. 500 092.
France. receipts. $685., 275.735; ex-
~ nditures. $685. .250.2l6; balance. $25,.
$40.
Germany. receipts. o,25l .240; ex.
penditures, s55s, oil ,46s; balance. 81
76o, 22s.
This comparison. IL not. however
quite fair to the United States. The
European nations conduct their postal
service on commercial principles and
make money out of IL. This the Unit
cd States does not attempt TO do. All
three own telegraphs, and some OF
them railroads, and make money out
of them. To make the comparison
quite fair the net profits of our tele
graphs and railroads should be add
ed to our surplus balance. AS this
is imprscticable let us eliminate those
three items from all the accounts
Then the comparison stands:
United States. receipts. 1862 AIS.
233; expenditures. s46s 7ss. 705; bal
ance, s93, 6s952s
Great Britain, receipts s6Os. 700. ZOO

PRESIDENT AND PEOPLE.

The universal interest taken In the
presidents speeches on his various
trips Is not alone to the intrinsic i'm
portance OF his utterances. says the
Kansas City Star, but also to the fact
that these addresses are about the only
medium at his disposal for getting
Ills views before the people. The prob
lem Of securing a good understanding
between the voters and their chief mag.
istrate Is difficult one Yet II is OF
prime importance that the people
should know auihorltatively some
things of the presidents policies and
plans.
The constitution provides that "he
shall, from time to time, give to the
congress information Of the state of
the union and recommend to their con-
sideration such measures as he shall
Judge necessary and expedient." But
In view OF the powerful influence OF
public opinion on congress II is just
as desirable that the country should
hear from the president as 1t is that
his message should be read at the cap.
itol. And the message is directed TO
the people as we'll as to congress. But
there are necessary limitations to its
usefulness. II Is regarded as more
or less conventional and Is very far
from being the heart to heart talk
which counts. The newspaper inter
view is now barred, and the state
ments given ont by the presidents sec
rotary are formal and do not carry
the personal force TO attract wide at
tention.
Lincoln used to write letters to
prominent men which were intended
for publication. In these he outlined
and defended his policies to the coun
try at large.
Recently Mr.. Roosevelt adopted this
plan in his communication to Clark
Howell, on the appointment OF ne
groes But for some reason the letter
writing method Is resorted TO only on
rare occasions--possibly because cap
tious critics object TO II as wanting In
dignity.
However that may be, the fact re
mains tnht usually lHe peopie hcai
from their chief executive only
through the speeches made on his
journeys. Tie Importance which the
president attaches TO these addresses
is evident from the care with which
they are prepared in advance so that
they may be sent In full to newspapers
throughout the country days before
they are delivered, And the fact thai
they are printed entire testifes to the
newspapers view Of the interest at
taohing to them.
The talks which Mr.. Roosevelt Il
making from day to day are to be re
garded. then. not as mere conventions
speeches. nor as remarks uttered OF
the spur OF the moment. but as the
carefully weighed, personal statements
OF the president to the people to whom
he must look for support TO accomplish
what he desires.

Now, both of the men are inveterate

adopted a joint resolve, to go out to
Belgrade stream, after pickerel. They
did not know that the stream was
closed by law, and driving on to the
bridge near Belgrade Depot they got
out their paraphernalia and began to
fish. They had hardly got started,
however, when a man appeared and

The Water Question.
Editors Kennehec Journal:

BGdltOfS IennGI'cC JouIlldl
In the circular issued by the Water
Company | find Il reference to the city
of Lewiston, the impression intended
to be conveyed being that municipal
water works have not proven a
success there Now I have before me
the report of the Lewiston Water
Board for the year ending February
rs, 1903 and it makes exceedingly in
teresting reading. Lewiston is "a city
of $4,000 inhabitants,-iust twice the
number who reside in Augusta. II has
a water system. therefore, correspond
ingly larger than the one in this city
1t takes its water supply from Lake
Auburn. In securing this source of
supply considerable expense was in
volved, as the very ledgy character Of
the ground around Lewiston neces-
STATED more blasting than had ever
been found necessary in the installing
of water plant in this State. The
total cost of the works to the people of
Lewiston was little over $500, 900. The
city charges S. a faucet for water, or
where dwelling houses are occupied by
Two or more families, 81 per faucet for
each of the families. This it will be
seen IS Just half the rates charged in
the city of Augusta. Last year the city
abated about $1,000 in water rentals to
people in sickness and distress, paid the
interest on its water bonds and all it's
running expenses, and carried to the
city treasury in net profits $500. 40
Certainly this is a SPLENDID showing,
although it must be- admitted that it
does not compare with the showing
made in the city of Auburn, just about
the size of Augusta and where the net
profits are considerably more than
double those in the city of Lewiston
These figures are significant and in
terestinS. They show what it means
to the people to own and operate their
own water plant. Fam firmly of the
conviction that When the people of
Augusta go to the polls next Monday
they will vote yes" by an overwhelm-
ing majority.

The woods in the vicinity of the Sol
diers' Home at Togus, are now
swarmed with peddlers of whiskey and
rum 1t is pension time at the Home
and for a couple of days the pocket
pcddlcrs have been doing q land office
business. Deputy Sheriff George H.
Ames was successful, yesterday, in
capturing three or four violators of the
law. and they will be arraigned before
Trial Justice Stevens, this morning.
He was driving along Hayseed avenue,
when he saw a team containing two
men Just ahead of him. He fastened
his horse and the men switched off into
a woods road. He followed, and when
he caught up with the team one of the
men had disappeared. And so had a
suspicious SHOCKING object covered with
a blanket which he had noticed in the
wagon. He took this object for jugs
of the contraband. He was not wrong
in his surmises, for on digging into the
woods he found the other man standing
over two 2-gallon jugs filled with
whiskey. The men were arrested. They
belong in Whitefield and are well
known to the officer. Officer Ames
afterwards captured a two-gallon jug
of whiskey in the grocery team of A.
w. Peaslee, Gardiner, which was
standing in front of the residence of
John Brennan. The latter was arrest
ed, although he claims the stuff was
not his. Later, Mr.. Ames found two
2-uuart bottles of rum, two pints and
onc-half pint of whiskey hidden in 4
Of a !
Gardiner. He knows who owned the
stuff and the party will be arraigned,
this morning. The woods are full of
peddlers and there is much drunken
ness round about the place. The
officers are doing their utmost to sup
press the illegal traffic.

the market, yesterday. One load of
very good quality hay was sold at the
rate Of SIC a ton, the highest price the
commodity has yet reached: Some of
the cheaper grades We're offered at

the hay market is up rather than down,
though perhaps there won't be so much
of a shortage as was anticipated two
weeks ago. The rains of the past week
have started the grass in good shape
all through this section.

TWO AUGUSTA FISHERMEN
They Find Belgrade Pickerel Fishing t
be Expensive.

There are two Augusta fishermen
who think that the penalty for pickerel
fishing in Belgrade stream is a trife
high, considering the commercial value
of the fish, and they are all the more
emphatic in their expression of opinion
regarding the penalty, because they
have been up against it. Out of
respect to their modesty no names are
