Germany and Limitation.

Quite naturally the German statesmen
take exceptions to the suggestion, recently
advanced in the course OF the peace con-
ference in New York. that their country Ia
opposed to the peace propaganda 1t Is
their duty to step forward, as they have
just done In the reichstag. and declare their
readiness to follow IL the way Is opened
and start Is made by another power. But
Germany first? That Is not Germany's pol
icy, and considering Germanys history 1t Is
not to be expected Of her.
Chancellor Won Buelow states the attitude
OF the empire in this matter In practically
these terms: Germany can not al present
conceive practicable plan whereby the
powers can agree upon a method Of limita-
ton can not, in short, formulate a scheme
which will preserve all the rights and pro-
tect all the interests of the fatherland, and
therefore is not disposed to engage in any
arrangement which seeks to check the size
of armies and navies.e If some other gov
eminent is able to frame such a formula
to Germany's satisfaction that power will
,heerfully pursue the path of limitation.
The limitation of ornaments plan is
strictly economic and is inspired by the be-
lief that the powers are engaged In too
costly a rivalry, which can have no other
effect than to impose an increasingly heavy
burden upon the people. AS long as Eng
land holds first rank on the sea she will
try to keep II and also so long will Ger
many try to wrest that position from her.
Similarly, France will endeavor to keep
ahead of Germany, and the United States.
with widespread territorial and more widely
spread commercial interests. must strive to
keep in the van. Meanr nile Japan, with
newborn ambitions to maintain a world
power rank, Is certain to add to her al
ready considerable naval establishment in
the hope of overtaking Germany, and to
hold a safe margin over Russia.
In order to secure a limitation agreement
each power must consent to abandon hope
of changing its relative position in the
ration, expressed by the chancellor, simply
means that Germany is not ready to aban-
Ion this hope and insists upon remaining
,ole judge of It's necessities. As long as it
maintains this position the limitation of
ornaments discussion must necessarily re-
main academic. For none of the "other
powers will consent to pledge itself to
program of curtailment which will enable
Germany to progress beyond the rank now
held by that power.
Thus the case stands. Germany declares
that no practicable formula of limitation
has yet been stated. and none seems likely
to be stated and none will be stated by the
government at Berlin. This is an unfortu-
nate situation, but it is beyond remedy.

Wanted-An Opposition.
From Harper's Weekly.

Apparently the thinking on political aues-
lions is not confined to eminent -republi-
cans. Democrats and independents have
been giving tongue to views and feelings
that are helpful to the country. because
they betray the right spirit and because
they show that universal acquieseence and
surrender of principle are not much longer
to be tolerated. Every thoughtful and pa
triotic mind is conscious Of the fact that
the political reform Of which this country
stands most In need is a real party of oppo-
sition. This truth lay at the foundation
OF the speeches that were made before
the Democratic Club Of New York on JEFF
ferson day. We want q new party, or a
regenerated. party, q party that will mean
something different from the party of the
administration. ..s4.,.

Will Move to Merrill Block.

A business change of considerable
moment, affecting the Steward
Heating & Plumbing Co., has been
the outcome of negotiations which
have been concluded during the
present week. Clyde H. Smith,
formerly of Hartland, but since his
election to the Office of sheriff,
resident of this place, becomes a
stockholder in the corporation men
toned.
The business now conducted by
t lis concern originated with j. G.
Forrest who commenced in a small
way some time in the SOS in the base
ment of the block at the corner of
Madison avenue and Water streets
now occupied by Dow & Carter Mr..
Forrest subsequently moved to the
corner of Madison avenue and Elm
street. Several different gentlemen
were afterward associated with Mr.
Forrest at different times, among
them Chandler Dow, the late G. A.
Marston and F. c. Pooler. The firm
name afterward became F. {. Pooler
& Co. Subsequently the business
was purchased by n. S. & B. T. Stew
ard, taking the name of n. S. Steward
& Co. in 1908 and organizing as a
corporation under that name in April,
1906.
Coincident with the present change
in the list of stock holders it is an
nounced that lease of the store in
the west end of the new Merrill block,
next to the Ward building, has been
secured for five years, and that the
business will be moved to that loca-
ton from it's present store on Russell
street as soon as the necessary fit
tings can be put in. The new loca-
ton has a frontage of 26 feet on
Water street and extends through to
I Russell street, a distance of 120 feet.
A complete stock of hardware will
be put in in addition to the goods
previously carried. All branches Of
the plumbing and steam fitting bust
ness will be continued and the base
ment which extends under the whole
store will be utilized as a workroom.

The Big Jam at the Piers.

On Tuesday there were thirty
million feet of lumber in the jam
above the sorting boom of the Show
hogan Pulp Co., the largest lot of logs
ever detained at that point.
The corporation just mentioned
claims to have had its boom practi-
cally clear Of logs at one time not
many weeks since and, as there were
no logs, among the timber then run
ming, for themselves or for other
parties at this point, they opened
their booms and were letting all the
logs go through without sorting. 1t
became necessary, however, on ac-
count of jams below here, to close the
boom and logs had accumulated fill
ing the river nearly to the Spaulding's
Island when the storm of July 20
raised the water, crowding the logs
already in the boom down against the
piers and bringing large quantity of
timber from up-river points. On
Tuesday the jam filed the river to
Turner brook, more than mile from
the piers. 1t is estimated that this
jam of thirty million feet of lumber is
worth between four and five hundred
thousand dollars.
A big crew of men were put to
work at the piers during the week
following the storm, as many as 70
men being employed portion of the
time, and on Sunday last a donkey
engine was set up to aid in the matter.
Since the first of the present week
some progress has been made but it
is believed that at least Is days will
be required to clear the channel. As
the rear OF the Kennebec drive is ex
pected to reach here in few days, it
is likely to be subjent to delay of
two weeks before it can proceed on
its way down river.
