mon Of this latest list are beyond ques-
ton one and all entitled by true ser

that the country has good reason to
honor the memory of the three women
named, though many feel that other
American women are more entitled to
the honor of first selection than these
three. However, it is to be remem-

ever, is valuable and admirable and as
the years go by its sins of omission
may be remcdied.

est to recover from the whitening
blight of practical free trade!
The Wilson tariff law did not
cease its baneful existence in
1906, as the editor of the Sun as
sumes, in making his comparison on
the number of sheep in Maine, but
continued through the entire fiscal year
of 1897
AS we have stated unwashed wool
was selling in the Boston market dur
ing the last year of the Wilson free
trade law at from 6 to II cents
pound. The market reports of the
Boston Commercial Bulletin for June
1, 1907, shows that on that date it was
bringing from % to SO cents a pound
in the same market. The statistical
abstract of the United States for 1899
gives the price of fine washed
wool in the fiscal years of
1896 and 1897, under the Wilson tariff
law. at IS cents a pound-the lowest
point it has ever touched in the Ameri-
can market The Boston Commercial
Bulletin for June l, 1907, gives the
price of fine washed wool in that mar
let, under the Dingley tariff law, at
from 81 to - cents a pound.
In view of the foregoing facts it
would seem ts be up to the editor of
the Sun to show how the Dingley law
which has made it possible for our
farmers to get more than three times
as much for their wool as they got I'M
der the Wilson law could possibly be
responsible for any decrease in the
number Of Maine sheep! Is it not more
reasonable TO think-what is the fact
that the sheep industry in this State
has never yet fully recovered from the
knock out blow dealt it by the Wilson
tariff law, under which, as the Sun
states, wool was on the free list?'

Apples From Australia.

We hear a good deal in the course of
year about the exporting Of apples
from this country to Europe, a business
i'll which our own state bears lead
ing part, hut it is something new and
altogether surprising to read about
the bringing of apples from foreign
shores 10 America. There arrived at
New York last week a consignment OF
900 cases of apples. or about $40 bar
reIs, from Australia, and this is said to
he tie first instance on the records of
that port when apples We're received
there abroad.
For many years this country has
been q large exporter Of the fruit
shipments in recent years averaging
nearly 100000 barrels annually and
sometimes reaching 100000 barrels or
over. During the current fiscal year
exports Of apples have been well above
the vtarly average, amounting to above
/ 800, 600 barrels for the nine months
eIulnG Wlln NdIcil, last oCtlSOiI SlNit
having been mcommonly large. So it
is the more surprising that any OF the
fruit should come here from other
countries and especially from the an
tipodes on an $4,000 mile voyage. The
importers. however, say that the crop
of last year has Deen practically all
consumed or exported They assert
that there are not over 10000 barrels
left in the whole country, and as good
apples are selling in New York at Sc a
barrel it must be that the scarcity is
nearly as great as represented.
The apples brought here from Aus
tralia are described as superior, in APP
pcarance at least, to the American
fruit, which is no doubt the case. They
were grown in a warmer climate than
prevails in the great apple-raising sec
tons of the northern United States,
ard it is easy to produce fine-looking
apples in a warm climate, but not 50
easy to grow apples as fine in quality
and solid i'll substance as are grown in
our own temperate regions. Fruit of
this kind has lately come to New Eng
land from Oregon and Washington,
where it was grown under the damp,
warm influences Of the japanese ocean
current, and splendid-appearing fruit
il is; but the nice, firm quality of the
apple Of the northeastern states seems
to be lacking and it fails to satisfy the
cultivated taste of the easterner who
still regards the apple as the superior
of all fruits even as against the ag-
grcssive claims of the orange and the
peach which, especially in the case of
the orange, have become 50 abundantly
ana choaply available in recent years
where before they were rare and costly.

The Sentinel and the Tariff.

Ihere Is an old saying that Il person
cahOt eat his cake and have it, but the
hennebec Journal knows better than

lrrefutable argument in favor of shut
ing out foreign trade. 1t says that
When YOU buy an article at horne the

inns country; when you buy it abroad,
only the article is here at the close of
It's transaction, the money is gone.
quite an argument. Look it over
moment and see how much the condi-
ton OF the country differs at the close
OF the two transactions. Suppose the
article in question is o barrel of flour
and man in Augusta has it. A neigh
bDr has So. The neiShbor buys the bar
rel of flour. The article and the money
are still in Augusta. They We're there
ut the start. Augusta is no poorer and
no richer than it was at the beginning.
Now suppose the man with the money
sent his S. to Canada and bought a
barrel of -four and brought it to
Augusta, that city would lose s. and
Sain 4 barrel of -four and if the flour
was worth IS. the total wealth of

Most Of us never heard Of Capt.
Sally Tumpkins, the only woman who
held q commission in the Confederate
army, but she is a leading figure at
the reunion at Richmond and the ac-
counts of the affair give her remarka-
Bile story much prominence. She was
conducting a hospital in Richmond
during the war, paying the expenses
herself, when orders came to close all
hospitals that We're not under charge
of an officer. Miss Tompkins went to
see President Davis and explained that
she wanted to continue her work. The
only way was to commission her as an
officer and so Il commission was made
out to Capt Sally Tompkins, unas-
signed" and given to her by Mr.. Davis.
She is today an inmate of the home for
needy Confederate women in Rich
mond and doubtless many of the
veterans whom she and her family
servants nurscd back to life will
SrdtC1ully seek ner out. IL is Sdlu tldl
this reunion, which will be signalzed,
according to schedule, by the unwilling
of statues to jefferson Davis and Gen.
J. f. 3. Stuart, the dashing Con-
fcderate cavalry leader, is likely to be
the last of the big reunions of the
Confederate veterans whose ranks fast
grow thinner as do those of their
erstWhilc foes, the veterans of the
army that saved the Union. The
statue of jefferson Davis. it appears, is
to be unveiled on his birthday, June. 8.
and Gen. stephen d. Lee. head of the
Confederate veterans organization,
has designated the hour of =. NJ. on
that day as time when all Con-

The open cars which now appear on

but they are also rather dangerous for
the person not accustomed to the open
air or who gets aboard when tired or
pcrspiring. The danger of open car
rides, in such spring weather rs ""

fact that people take them without the

Steel Pavement in Paris.

Paris is experimenting with the latest

pavement, but it is really a concrete
pavement, reinforced with Il steel frame

laid on the Rue Saint Martin. in front
of the ConservatOire of Arts and Indus
tries.

plate Of perforated steel with strong
bolts CT steel running through it between
the pcrforationS. Each section has some
resemblance to q steel harrow, only the
prongs project equally on each side ard
they are square and blunt.
The plates are arranged close together
on q bed of rough concrete such as Is
used for wood block pavement Then
specially prepared cement is shoveled up,
on them in a soft condition and rammed
down until il makes solid mass, with
the steel frame just leveied off evenly
with the upper tips of the pronc".
The steel pconSs are so close together

them and in part Oh the cement. 1t Is
expected in this way to secure n highly
