and so long as that system prevails.
it Is foolish to expect good results,
Changing men or changing parties
won't help a particle. WE MUST
CHANGE THE SYSTEM.
Now that is just what the Republic
can party has started to do. Auth
orized by Congress, President Taft
has appointed commission that will
ultimately give us just such a tarif1
as the great majority really wants. A
tariff based on the difference in cost
Of production at home and abroad,
not on the composite greed of three
hundred and ninety-one constituent
cies. But like every other piece of
good work il will take time.
Don't upset this good start in the
right direction by electing Democrat
ic congressman. That party consist
entity opposed the change from start
to finish. and If given the chance will
undertake another revision of the tar
IN under the old bad system. Anyone
in doubt as to what such a revision
would be will do well to look up
what Grover Cleveland said when he
refused to sign the Wilson bill.

PREACH AS REPORTERS
WRITE NEWS
Pastor Believes Biblical Stories, Writ
ten by Newspaper Men, Would Be
Attractive.

The novel combination in the pull
pit of newspaperman training
with the equipment of a minister is
the up-to-date idea of the Rev. w. ii.
Jordan, pastor of the Presbyterian
church at Jerseyville, Ill, a suburb
of st. Louis. Recently he visited a
newspaper office in St Louis to see
how a daily paper is gotten out.
THE bright and breezy way in
which city reporters write up an
event makes people read the story
through with interest from start to
finish" said Mr.. Jordan. Il have Of
ten thought that if ministers, in their
sermon writing. would try to adopt
newspaper methods to the extent of
turning out more interesting and vivid
COPY they would make more impress
sion upon their congregations and
attract more to the services.
IF certain events related in the
Bible had been covered by men like
the newspaper reporter of today
how eagerly we would read them.
believe many persons now repealed
by the style Of the King James YER
sion would read such an account, II
it existed, with the keenest interest
and pleasure.

Burleigh and the Tariff

A lot of Maine Republicans may
vote for Democratic congressman next
month, provided they don't stop to
think. The average man Is far from
satisfied with the measure of down.
ward revision accomplished by the
new tariff law, and even the Presl-
dent has admitted that certain sched-
ules are "indefensible". But let us
see where the real responsibility lies.
If Congressman Burleigh had con
scented to radical cuts in the schedules
that affect directly, the products of
the Third Maine District, his public
career would now end In short order
His people wanted all the protection
he could get for them. Now there
are three hundred and ninety dis
tricts besides the Third Maine, and
what was true of The one was true of
them all. Every member Of Congress
had to make the best bargain that he
could, which usually meant giving as
much as he got. Out of all this log
rolling came the Payne-Aldrich tar

that there was any downward revi-
sion at all
Our system of tariff making is bad

Mayor Gaynor robbed him of his
bread and butter" the mayor of New

A Rumor

There has been a very persistent
rumor for some time to the effect
that when Justice Warehouses; term
expires in 1911, he is not to be re-
appointed by Governor Fernald. Just
what the reasons back of this much
talked about rumor may be 1t is i'm
possible at this time to ascertain, but
that there may be something in it Is
to be attributed to the fact that the
rumor will not down.
Justice Whitehouse was appointed
an Associate Justice in April, 1890;
was reappointed in 1897, and again
In 1904. Throughout his term of
nearly fourteen years Justice White
house has constantly honored the
high office to which he was appointed
and 1t will be a loss to the judicial
branch of our State government II
his retirement should come in 1911.

Catering to the Home Market

The genial editor of the Turf, Farm
and Home is deeply distressed be
cause the farmers of Maine do not
produce more of the food consumed
upon Maine tables. and his mind
keeps roaming back to the days when
things were not so. With soil and
climate that are well nigh peerless,
no doubt the change does seem queer
to- one who has never engaged in the
growing and marketing of farm pro-
duce, but there are reasons just the
same. Thinking in Maine is not con-
fined to newspaper Offices by any
means.
Farmers quit catering to the local
markets because they found 1t did not
pay, and the prime factors that elimi-
mated their profits care still with us
and working full time. We should
hate to swamp our portly friend by
going into this too deeply all at once,
so We will simply remind him that
the decline Of the kind of agriculture
to which he so fondly looks back, was
one of the things that followed the
building of the railroads.
We have no desire to criticise the
managers of our railroads. Between
the demands of their stockholders on
the one hand and their employees and
the public on the other, they have
troubles enough for a while. But we
need to be reminded occasionally that
those who employ traffic manager
expect him to make all the money he
can. If he didn't they would prompt
ly get someone else that would.
Now in order to make money, a
traffic man must get business, 30 the
first rule in his department Is to
make rates that will move the goods.
The second Is to charge all that the
traffic will bear. On these two hang
the law and the profits of railroading.
OF course there Is no money to be
made hauling empty freight cars. If
car goes out full, something must
be found to put In it when 1t comes
back. 1t so happens that now, the
same as when the railroad was first
built, more than half of the outgoing
freight on the Maine Central Is made
up of lumber and forest products. II
the farmers of Maine produced all
that they might of the food eaten by
Maine people, what would the Maine
Central do to fill it's incoming cars?
Brother Mayo would land the COM
pany in a receivers hands, If he had
his way.

Reward improvidence, penalize
thrift. 1t seems hard to believe that
community of intelligent Americans
would do such a thing. But custom
and tradition lead us into strange
and devious paths at times.
AS described in the article of last
week, the village of Canaan con-
tains a choice water rower, now run
ming to waste. We're this power
properly utilized, Canaan must OF
necessity become once more the
thriving community that nature in
tended. OF course the Canaanites are
anxious to have this property devel-
oped, yet all the while they are Civ
ing to the owners substantial induce
ments to let 1t remain idle, and this
is the way they do it.
When the property passed to the
corporation now holding it, the price
paid is understood to have been $6500
The price now asked for 1t Qnclud-
ing another but less valuable priv
ilege down the stream) is $4,000
Meanwhile 1t stands on the books OF
the local assessors at $4,000. The eff
feet of this triple standard of values
is quite simple and direct No capt.
talist could now afford to buy the
property at the price asked because
a business so overcapitalized could
not. possibly pay. On the other hand
the nominal tax imposed gives no in
centive to sell the property at fail
price.
Just now the Central Maine Power
Company has considerable surplus
of power available for the vicinity OF
Waterville, but that community Is
growing rapidly and will soon be
asking for more. Consequently the
owners of the power site at Canaan
know that If they sit tight" the time
will come when they can get their
price. Then we may look for a gem
Grating station to be installed there,
which will mean goodbye forever to
whatever industrial hopes the people
of Canaan now cherish.
Fortunately the assessors of the
town of Canaan yet hold the key to
the situation, and we trust they will
see their way clear 10 use 1t. BA
placing proper valuation on the
property, the annual tax would eat up
the speculative profits now In sight.
