More ISpS for DeerSISius.

One firm in Bangor. Me-. has agents
all over northern Maine buying deer
hides. and thousands of the hides are
received there every season and ship
ped to Boston to be tanned.
1t is only within the last year or two
that the traffic in deer hides has reach
ed large proportions. A few years ago
a deer hide of the best quality could
be bought for half a dollar and the
hides We're thought of so little account
that unless the man who killed the deer
had some use for the skin he threw it
away.
The deer hides are now used by the
manufacturers Of gloves and other ar
ticles and there is a steady demand for
them. The demand is shown by the
fact that the hides have increased al
most threefold in value during the last
two years.
The hide of the Maine deer has been
found to be excellent material for max
ing gloves, pocketbooks. bindings n
many small leather articles. There is
a good profit in these articles for the
manufacturers because the deer hides
a be bought cheaper than almost any
other kind of leather that would
swer the purpose.
Those who are aware of the large
traffic in deer hides III Maine fear it
may mean another danger to the big
game which roams the Maine woods. \
dealer in hides must have a license.
which costs So. Under the protection of
this license the dealer can buy as many
deer hides as he can get hold of. There
fore the question is asked whether with
the dealers offering good prices for
deer hides and having agents all over
the hunting regions buying up the
hides, an incentive will be furnished to
prompt men to hunt deer for the money
there is in them.

CUBANS MUST BE GOOD.
Secretary of War Taft Warns the
Islands Inhabitants.

Secretary Taft Monday made public
a report on Cuba. Summing up the pur-
poses of the mission to Cuba of himself
and Assistant Secretary of State Bacon
and what was done. Secretary Taft says a:
1--WE went to Cuba for the purpose of
securing peace; when We went we knew
the island was divided between two hos
tile and armed forces. and We desired to
avoid a conflict between them for the rea-
son that it would cause loss of life to the
Cubans and a great destruction of prop
erty. a large part of which belonged to
American citizens. and it would neces-
sarily require the Intervention of Ameri-
can troops and the expenditure of Amer
lean lives and treasure. If this %insurrec-
tionary habit persists, if again the Gu
bans divide into armed forces, the strong
hand of our government will have to be
imposed at whatever cost of life and prop
erty. and permanent peace should then
certainly ensue, because it should be of
our own keeping.
"We hope, however, that no such dras-
tic remedy will be needed and that the
lesson taught in this recent experience of
the evil of unjust methods in elections
will not be without its warning to future
governments in Cuba"

In Case of War with Japan.

If Japan made war on US tomorrow
she could reach Manila in six days
with eleven battleships and six armor-
ed cruisers. says Frederick Palmer IN
Golfers Weekly. Before our Atlantic
feet could reach Cape Horn she could
put in a fully equipped army corps Oh
over 10000 men into the Philippines.
Against overwhelming naval odds our
0 armored cruisers, which are en-
route to the far East. would nave 10
seek a rendezvous with the Atiahtlc
feet. The big floating drydock which
was towed via Suez would probably
have to be destroyed OF fall into the
hands of the enemy. Our 10000 lntdn-
try and cavalry scattered over the ISL
and would be besiegec.
Rv the time our feet had arrived
japan would have made a naval base
at Manila or Subig bay and would be
starding ready in her own doorway to
receive the stranger. We could have
absolutely no harbor which we could
enter. She would choose her time and
pace lOI tle nSHi- dIIoN IllS uS " Stew
or the tropical sea and use up u coal
supply. All the advantage of posses
sion Togo had over Ro%jestvensky he
would have over us. The confidence
of the Japanese is enormous. Accord
ing to naval precedent under such a
handicap we ought to outnumber the
japanese by four to three, which is the
present ratio of our superiority. At
ter we had won we would be securing
only the islands we had lost-and lost
because we had not made Manila a Sc
cure harhor.
When the canal is built the Atlantic
feet will have a route TO the Pacific
and with Hawaii and Manila well for
tilted protected bases will be in readi-
ness Then it may take its time to 90,
and it may fight with clean bottoms.

Plans to Build by Contract.
After most careful consideration we have
contract, If we can come to satisfactory
terms with the contractors. The whole
work is of a kind suited to the peculiar
genius of our people; and our people have
developed the type of contractor best fitted
to grapple with it. 1t is of course much
better to do the work in large part by con-
tract than to do it all by the government,
provided it is possible on the one hand to
secure to the contractor a sufficient remun-
Grafton to make it worth while for resDon-
take the work and provided on the other
hand it can be done on terms which will
not give an excessive profit to the contract
or at the expense Of the government. After
much consideration the plan already prom
ulgated by the Secretary of War was
adopted. The plan as promulgated is ten
tatiye doubtless it will have to be changed
in SOM respects before we can come to a
contractors-perhaps even after the bids
have been received and of course 1T is pos
sible that we cannot come to an agreement.
in which case the government will do the
work itself. Meanwhile the work on the
isthmus is progressing steadily and with
out any let-up.
Confident of Success.
OF the success Of the enterprise / am as
well convinced as one can be of any enter
prise that is human. 1t is a s~tupendous
work upon which our fellow countrymen are
engaged down there on the isthmus. and
while we should hold them to a strict ac-
counting for the way in which they per-
form it, we should yet recognize, with frank
generosity, the epic nature of the task on
which they are engaged and its worldwide
which will rebound immeasurably to the
credit of America, which will benefit all the
world, and which will last for ages to come.
