Does farming pay in Aroostook? ?
Well, here is little story that
illustrates things up in the Garden
county. A farmer in western Maine
sold his farm for $4,000 last year and
moved to Aroostook. He bought a
farm there for $4,000, paying down
$4,000 and giving a mortgage for $4,000.
From the profits OF his potato crop this
fall he is able to pay off the mortgage
in full. That is a fair years work on
a farm.

Our Drink Bill.

The amount of money paid ont

for alcoholie drinks in 1907 has the
enormous total of 81, ,466, ,5s4,327.
In comment upon this excessive aud
useless drain upon the energies Of
the people the American Grocer
of New York says:
"NearIy double rs much per
capita is spent for drink as is
spent for the maintenance Of pub.
lie schools. 1t nearly equals the
value of exports of merchandise
per capita. 1t is double the
amount of the public debt. 1t is
more than the farm value of the
corn crop, which exceeds $500
millions bushels; three times the
value of the wheat grown; more
than double the worth of the cot.

To our mind the incidents of
greatest significance among the
many of much moment that occur
red in the Republican national
convention held at Chicago lust
week were the ovations accorded
by the people in the galleries to
President Roosevelt and Senator
Lafollette, and the attempt of the
capitalistic press to under rate and
minimize the meaning Of those
spontaneous outburst of public ap-
proval, indicate their meaning
have not been entirely lost upon that
class. The politicians that made up
the body of delegates on the floor of
tue convention were conservative"
of course; but the voice from the
gallery indicated that the senti'
ment of reform has strong hold
upon the masses, and that any man
10 public life who has the bravery
to rise superior to political time
serving, wins the love of these
who go to make up the life of
the nation. President Roosevelt
could have had the nomination tt
Chicago upon the hint that it
would have been acceptable. As
it was, it went to the man the
President held as best equipped to
carry on the policies inaugurated
under bis administration. Senator
LafoIlette, in his own way, is get
Ting strong bold upon the public
mind. Reform has come to stay.
There is no purpose on part OF the
''rabble" to overturn social order,
but its demand for the enforcement
of that order in high as we'll rs
low places must be needed. The
American people are intelligent
and know what they want and how
to work out their purpose without
bringing about the social chaos,
all they need is men like Roosevelt
to lead them in that purpose.
