One Augusta gentleman who IS an
enthusiastic farmer in the way of
raising the smaller varieties, is rather
discouraged with the heavy fall OF
snow during the past few days, and Is
afraid that on account thereof some OF
his recent labor il the farming line mas

lettuce and as he found in a corner OF
his garden a spot where the sun had in
his opinion warmed the earth
sufficiently to allow of the planting OF
seed. he put in some last Sunday. ana

Cars on the A., w. g, G. Railway had
their troubles yesterday morning on
account Of the storm and also from
other causes, 50 that there was more
or less delay both on the main line
and on the cross country lines to Win
throp and Togus. The storm put the
Togus line out of commission for the
forenoon and 4 snow pillow off the irons
on the Winthrop line delayed travel on
that line for about four hours. Car
No. "a, the $50 car out of Water street
for Gardiner, ran over q brake shoe
just before reaching the Rines hill
crossing which broke the support Of
the brake beam, and was delayed near
ly an hour and a half by the accident,
so that the car did not get away on the
down river trip until II o'clock i'll the
forenoon.

Veqetarianism AGAIN.

The Boston Advertiser pOkes fun at
Prof. Irving Fisher of Yale who has
made tie important discovery that
people who don't eat meat can hold
their arms out longer and bend their
knees oftener than carnivorous per-
sons. Prof. Fisher concludes from
this momentous fact. ascertained by
testing 80 persons of various sizes,
ages. and sexes. that Observation-Disclosures
have far greater endurance than those
accustomed to the ordinary American
diet" 1t is perhaps worth noting
that similar statements have been
made many times before by that group
of human herbivora. known as vege-
tarians and most of us still eat meat.
The Advertiser declares that the
obvious reason for this is that the
average man has found by practical
experience that ability to hold his arm
out AZ seconds longer than the average
or personal record of III knee bends
WITHOUT stopping Is u TeldtlNely iltle
assistance in either earning a livelihood
or securing high social position. He
finds that the average truck driver can
far Guido the average banker in these
stunts Furthermore, he is in
clined to consider his meals not as
physical training or medicine, but
pleasant periods of relaxation and
recreation. He finds a certain amount
of meat agreeable, and sufficiently
wholesome to keep him in good bust
ness trim. Therefore. it is not sur
prising that he refuses to limit his diet
to such fodder as turni3s, cabbage. nut
butter, dandelion greens. and PURGE OF
potato Any one ambitious to raise
his knee bending record would dc

MAINE EDITORIAL COMMENT.
A Tricky Referendum.
Bangor News.)

The seemingly fair offer. which
Portland makes to leave out the ques-
ton of changing the State capital from
Augusta to Portland, to the voters to
decide at a special and SNAP" election
to be held at great cost, and TO pc
held before the voters have had time
to think the matter over and realize
the expensiveness and folly of ADAM
doning a million dollar State House for
the sake of an insecure and unriveted
promise from Portland to contribute
$4,000 TO the enterprise-all this APP
parently easy formula has a fishy odOr,
which smells of faint and sclfishncss,
and which may suggest downright
graft.
The objections which Mr.. Herbert
NJ. Heath urged against the former Of
fer of 100000 made by Portland be-
fore she raised the ante" hold good
today. So far as the best lawyers are
able to determine, there is no binding
force in these auction bids made by
Portland, and though the offer were
raised to two millions, or five millions,
it would not make the case any more
legal. 1t is not contended that the
Portland Shouters do not intend to
keep their words. Just now they may
mean all right, but when the question
comes down to a case of making pay
ment in cash, the very fact that under
the law Portland can avoid making her
offer good. will furnish great induce
ment for dishonesty and deception.
Again. this idea of putting the State
capital up to the highest bidder is so
repugnant to men of sentiment and
sense that one wonders why the very
offer made in the way it has been,
We're not enough to condemn the meas
ure at its inception. The whole
scheme seems akin 10 the practice fol-
lowed by some American millionaires,
who auction their daughters off to the
members of the European nobility. the
one proffering the highest title and the
highest social position getting the
coveted prize.
Neither can the advocates of the in
itiative and referendum view this
special case of referendum with
philosophic calm. If the referendum is
good enough for deciding the location
of the State House, it should not be
too good-or too untrustworthy-for
deciding whether the people desire the
continuance of the prohibitory amend
ment. or whether it is wise for Maine
to spend her substance in a hopeless
| fight against bugs, or whether Maine
wants to spend almost enough to build
a new State House in constructing eX-
pcriinental highways.
These questions are called up here

They have just elected a new presi-

probably become Edward Miller in

chosen by popular vote nor by a sys-
tenn of electors, as in this country, but
by the. chief legislative body. or Fed
eral Assembly. as It is called, in joint
session with the national and state
councils. The new president halls
from Berne and succeeds Mr.. NJ. L.

is great. admirer of President Roose-
welt and gave him what might be
called a handsome notice when he as
sumed Office. He hopes that the COM
mercial relations between Switzerland
and the United States may be improved
Switzerland last year exported $1,000,

and imported our products to the extent
of 81, 400, 900. The Swiss duty was very
small while our duties on the Swiss i'm
ports were, on an average, so per cent.
The new president wants the difference
adjusted by commercial treaty.
