Bangor News: DR.. Anton Marquardt
of Colby College. Waterville, owns
what is probably the nandsomcst horse
in every way there is in the State of
Maine, and he has another, also that
is as good as the best of them in the
State. The better horse of the two is
n coal black stallion. standing 1872 and
weighing between 1900 and 1900 pounds.
He is three years old and was bred III
the imperial stables in Germany AMI
imported by his owner. The govern
ment officials of his native country
pronounced the horse to be rs nearly
perfect in every respect as they had
ever seen. and gave him a warrant for
pedigree, health, color and action. The
horse is bred for coaching purposes AMI
makes as pretty a picture as any hors,
lover would care to see. His head
shows his fine breeding. being remark
ably well formed and carried by n
broad, arched and tapering neck. The
curve from the ears to the root of the
tail is almost perfect. The legs are
long, clean and beautifully formed,
supporting the body with a grace and
style rarely equalled.

BENEFITS OF NON-PARTISAN
SHIP.
Sec. Shaw Shows What Is Done in
Way of Big Projects.

Syracuse, April 2S.-L M. Shaw, Sec.
rotary of the Treasury, before the
Syracuse Chamber of Commerce
ship said in part:
Some of the best work Of the Re.
public has been accomplished non
partisanly. In the Administration OF
James Madison a law was passed Civ
ing the American shipbuilder and the
American ship owner a monopoly OF
our coastwise trade. While this law
has been many times assailed, no party
has ever dared repeal it., and it's pres
ence on the statute books is with nom
partisan approval. What is the re-
suit? We have the largest and most
prosperous, the cheapest and best
coastwise trade in the world.
About forty years ago there was in
ausurated a policy of internal improve
ment. BY non-partisan votes large
grants of land and large appropriations
OF money were offered as an induce
ment for the construction Of translate
and transcontinental railroads. Five
trunk lines, all but one assisted by the
government, cross the Rocky Noun
come the most profligate market for
the manufactured products Of the East.
and in turn the greatest producer of
food products, which comprise more
than go per cent. of our exports. We
have the most efficient, the cheapest
and the best railway service in the
world. The average fraight rates in
Europe are three times as high as in
the United States.
As a part Of this system Of internal
Improvement the government has made
liberal appropriations for the improve
ment of rivers and harbors. These ap-
preparations have all been passed as
non-partisan measures by a non-parti-
san vote. While some Of these appro-
priations have been perhaps unwise, it
is difficult to realize the benefits our
domestic and our foreign commerce
have received by reason Of them.
Fer more than hundred years
statesmen have dreamed and talked
and planned for an Isthmian canal,
and now the hope Of century bids fair
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1904-04-29

to be realized. The government of the
United States willingly pays fifty mil
lions for the right of way, then PROM
ises to spend about two hundred mil
lions in the construction and other mil
lions in the maintenance, and perhaps
other millions still in the defense Of the
canal and then pledges itself to per-
NIT the commerce of the world to en-
joy this short cut between the oceans
on equal terms. Fortunately, the par
! tiesNi e with each other in enthusiasm
over the5prospect of making this the
greatest of all contributions to the
worlds commerce. l wish non-parti-
sanly the parties would be as en-
thusiastic in their efforts to create a
merchant marine to the end that
American material producers and
American shipbuilders and American
sailors might get their fair proportion
of the worlds carrying trade.
1.-The Spanish War placed the Pacific
OCEAN logically. if not actually, where
it "has always been naturally, under
the sovereignty of the Stars and
Stripes. The opportunity, is%before us,
and sooner or later the. American peo-
pie will appreciate it, and future gen.
CREATIONS will not be slow m rendering
their need of praise t62ne Statesman
ship, partisan or rnon-partisan, which
obtains for America the Legitimate
fruits Of this enormous expenditure"
