advantage OF strict enforcement

Good Luck To Peary!


We all hope with Peary that he will
succeed in making the 200 miles he
failed to make on his last expedition
and plant the Stars and Stripes at The
extreme north. Peary has sailed to
the north eight times, counting from
his Greenland reconnaissance in 1886.
On his voyage in 1923 he made the
"farthest North record of S4 degrees, II
minutes" Although unsuccessful in
finding the Pole Peary established nu-
merous points of undoubted geographic
and photographic value. 1t is through
him that the world knows Greenland
to be an island. He knows the Esqul-
maux better than does any other ex-
plorer His work in charting Arctic
coast lines and in recording glacial
phenomena has the very highest use
fulness While the public may not be
quite so sanguine that Peary will sue
ceed this time as the famous explorer
himself is, the entire American people
will extend to him their best wishes
and hopes that he will attain the COW
eted end sought.

SHIPPING LIVE FISH.
New German Method of Transporta
ton in Lieu of Refrigeration.

Special Agent Captain Godfrey l.
Garden of the United States Revenue
Cutter Service sent from Berlin the
following Information concerning the
transportation of live fish in Germany.
Transportation of live fish for mar
ket purposes is now an established
fact in Germany. Under the ErlWeln
system, which is now being operated
on the Prussian State Railways the
fish are being hauled over considerable
distances | am advised that ship
ments are being made to Berlin from
Lyon in France, and from as far south
as Roumanla. Briefly the new system
permits of proportion of two tons of
fish to one ton of water, and, in i'll
stances, as many as four tons Of fish
have been transported alive in 1 L.
tons of water. This means that the
fish have been packed in almost like
sardnes. Under the Erlwein system
oxygen is forced through the fish tank
by means OF circulating pump, and
the carbonic acid as eXhaled in breath
ing is absorbed by lime plates. Doctor
Erlwen. who is responsible for the de-
velopment of the present system, is
one of the principal engineers for the
Siemens- Halslle electrical establish
ment of Berlin. The company cperat-
ing the fish cars is known as the Will
helm i<aunann nachfolger of Berlin.
So far only fresh water fish are being
transported. but l understand that it
is the intention to take up the trans
portation alive Of saltwater fish. Be-
fore this latter result can be effected
it will be necessary to equip many of
the Seagoing fishery vessels with wells
or tanks such as are seen in many OF
the Boston fishing vessels.
German law does not permit of fresh
water fish being offered for sale except
alive. 1t is common to see in reStau-
rants tanks of fresh water fish on eX-
hbition in the windows. The law IS
aimed against the dangers of fish pos-
oning. it is the opinion here that fresh
fish could be transported readily from
New York to any one of the large
cities in the Mississippi valley and, in
turn, the fish of the Great Lakes could
be transported alive all over the West.
understand that the German COM
pany is quite ready to negotiate for
American connections to build these
fish cars in America.
The sale of fish in Germany is a very
important one. 1t is recognized that
the food is not only good and cheap,
but offers q ready substitute for meat.
which, at the high prices now demand
ed, is placed beyond the reach of many
of the poorer people AS originally de-
signed the Erlwein system provided for

Closing Hotels.
(BangOr NeWS.)


Within q time which one can cOuht
by months, three famous hotels Oh
Eastern Mane-one in Camden, an
other in Foxcroft and the third IN
Houlton-haVe closed their doors TO
guests, and for the time have gone out
of business. Furthermore, It IS
noticed that while costly cottages are
going up at Bar Harbor and the Valu-
alton of the rich village is gaining by
leaps, the day when every season saw
a big new hotel going up has passed.
One who is interested in the welfare
of Maine naturally seeks to know the
re ason for this changed condition.
Maine as whole is not going behind
in wealth or population. In fact, East
ern Maine is showing marked gains
Not only is Aroostool< county booming
right along, but the development ol
Milinocket and East Millinocket from
wilderness of spruce trees, and the
rapid gains made by Brewer, Old
Town and other busy centres give the
lie to any idea as to decadence.
Nor do we believe that the subsi-
!ence of the hotel traffic in Eastern
Maine is in any way due to the clos
ing of the public bars, though such is
claimed to be the fact by those who
take a financial interest in the liquor
traffic. Even under the old Penobscot
county plan. invented by Judge Peters,
the liquor trade never reached the di-
mensionS in any Eastern Maine hotel
to make the sale of intOXicants a
prime condition for keeping any hotel
open.
Coming down to q straight question
of economic Importance, is Eastern
Maine provided with more hotels than
can earn reasonable dividends upon
their original cost and the additional
expense of maintenance? Here is
chance for the boards of trade to
make original investigation and report
on actual conditions

The Bait Will Not Fool Them.

Obadiah Gardner, by the nomna-
ton of whom the Democrats hope to
offer a tempting bait for the large
Grange vote, is resubmissionist
He tries tc excuse himself for this in
the eyes of his farmer friends by say
ing he believes the people should
have chance to vote to reaffirm the
prohibitory law, or "vote for some
thing else" What does he mean by
"something else? The farmers of
Maine undoubtedly have warm ad-
miration for Mr.. Gardner personally.
but they are very much in earnest on
this prohibition question, and when it
comes to voting, they are not of the
class to sacrifice principle for the sake
of friendship.-Belfast Journal.
The bait will not be tempting enough
to fool the farmers of Maine. On the
other hand they are certain to resent
the attempt of the Democratic man.
ayers to "work' them by the nomina-
ton Of a man prominently identified
with the Grange-especfally when the
man in question is absolutely without
experience in public affairs and is un-
sound on political issues. However
great the esteem in which the farmers
of Maine, or any considerable number
of them, may hold Mr.. Gardner as a
Grange official they do not forget for
minute that Hon. Bert NJ. Fernald
was born on farm and has always
lived there, and that he has been for
without ever trying to use his men,
bership in that body as political
asset.
Moreover, Mr.. Fernald is sound on
the prohibition question and on the
political issues of Importance tc
Maine. He has record as a busi-
ness man and as a public servant
which is a sufficient guarantee of his
executive ability, his absolute integrity
and his fidelity to every trust. The
Republicans of Maine are proud of
their gubernatorial candidate; they
have every confidence in him and will
give him united and enthusiastic sup
port. Mr.. Gardner, as the Demo-
cratic candidate, will probably poll
the party vote, but he will not draw
any Republican votes and he will be
left many thousands in the rear in
September. This is Republican
year in every one of the 16 counties.
