II is evident that Senator Morgan OF
Roosevelt for preferring the Panama to
the Nicaraguan canal route. Mean
while il is daily becoming more evident
to the American people how fortunate
it was that the President did not share
the views of the Alabama Senator.
The Panama project is beset with dif1l-
cultes enough; but it appears to be
pretty generally conceded that they
are small compared with those that
would have been encountered by the
Nicaragua route.

All credit to the thousands of Boston
Democrats who voted for rockingham
at Tuesdays election. 1t is a great
pity that there could not have been a
few thousands more of them in order
that New England's metropolis could
have had a municipal administration of
which it could be proud and which
would conduct its affairs honestly and
efficiently. The late Mayor Collins said
that the election of Fitzgerald as
mayor Of Boston would be "a public
calamity" and that Fitzgerald as
mayor would bring disgrace upon his
party. his race and his creed" Collins
was elected by a plurality of over 80
geo. while Fitzgerald gets plurality Of
5000. IT is to be hoped that the re-
"u'"d plurality. together with the
reailzat'on of his responsibility. will
nave a SOLDERING effect upon FitggeraId
and help him to be good mayor

There is every prospect that two new
states will be added to the Union before
the close of the present session of Con-
grc"s. The Presidents direct and posi-
tive recommendation Ia this end will
carry much weight. and the Immediate
admission Of Oklahoma ana Indian
Territory IS one state. and Mexico and
Arizona rs one state seems as certain
as anything in the future can well be.
The only opposition which will come
from those who think there ought to be
four states out of these territories, is
an opposition based largely upon Il de-

Naval Recruits from the West.

In their remarks at a dinner of the
Merchants club, in Chicago, the other
night, both Admiral Dewey and Gen.
Horace Porter dwelt upon the interest
ing fact that the United States is now
depending largely upon recruits from
tn" middle West rather than the sea-
board to man its several vessels. The
change has been gradually coming
about for years. Although is seems
most remarkable and hard to account
for. it is, nevertheless, true that the
states of the middle West. hundreds of
miles from the ocean, are yearly send
ing more new men into the navy than
the whole Atlantic coast. 1t was very
different. of course. in the old days.

One of the longest and liveliest politi-

there were four in the field for the
place. all of them strong and popular
men. but finally Mr.. Moulton and Mr..
Shaw withdrew and gave their strength
to Hon. William Rogers. The energetic
and thoroughly organized campaign of
Mr.. Crosby. however. overcame all op-
position and combinations. Congress
man Littlefield said that Mr.. Crosby's

lage of Skowhcgan and partly in Corn

than any area of equal size in Somerset
county and it is not likely that any
locality in Maine has had as great II
yield. G. &. White harvested 9bo
bushels of Ben Davis and 160 bushels of
Northern Spies: s. II. Beal had yield

Names best fruit. The most of the
crop has been shipped to Liverpool to
be sold at the market price for the
benefit of the shippers. Everything
promises a price at least 81 per bushel
in excess Of all charges.
The shipments of potatoes from the
Bangor d. ArUoStook railroad during
the month of November amounted to
1851 bushels This makes the total
shipments of the crop of 1908 to Decent
her |, 2,35S.09S bushels or an Increase of
500, j59 bushels over the same period
last year. The total increase of the
November crop is 1293i1 bushels over
1904. Owing to the fact that the metro
pOlitan markets have been influenced
by the large quantity of foreign pota-
toes received the ArooStOok shippers
have not been over-anXious to unload
their potatoes up to the present time,
for to do so they would have to sell at
Il price pushed way down by the pres
ence of the foreign spuds. Nearly all
of the Aroostook shippers have large
contracts ahead for seed potatoes to
be delivered in January and February.
A large proportion of these seed pOta-
toes Will go to Texas but MANY of the
othern southern states VIII also receive
the AroOstoOk tubers. There is Il big
demard for Aroostook potatoes owing
to the superior quality and it is this
quality which has been responsible for
the large shipments so far this fall.
The Aroostook potatoes have been
found to be better adapted to shipment
and handling than those of either New
York or Michigan and they invariably
command better price than either of
the latter varieties.
