The Fisheries Decision.

There is an element of satisfaction in
dered. 1t is final and binding, and it is
to be hoped satisfactorily to all parties
concerned The seven points were eX-
haustively and ably argued, and on
five of them our government is sus-
tained. The two points won by Great
Britain-that relating to sovereignty
and that touching the question Of
"HEADLAND" lines versus the sim
uosties of the coast-are of great
practical Importance.
Probably at no time has there been
any danger of war between the United
States and Great Britain over the New
England fisheries dispute, but this
does not detract from the historic and
international importance of the award
of the arbitral tribunal at The Hague
the submission of this controversy,
now nearly century old, to arbitra
ton, was a notable victory in the cause
of peace and good will, and it is easily
the most complex case the arbitral
court has been called upon to hear and
determine. In one respect, tha case is
epoch making. The court was empoW
cred and obligated 70 decide the issues
on principle international law and ac
cepted rules Of Interpretation. There
was to be no diplomatic splitting of
differences" no effort to please both
parties. Justic" was to be done with
out fear or favor. and the verdict
should be accepted in the fun spirit in
which it was rendered.

it coming and by had conceded the
election of the Democratic head OF the

At 10 o'clock the journal estimated

all returns have been tabulated.
Before that hour Hon. Edwin c. Bur-
Gould had been elected in the I'd Dis

Wealth in the Corn Crop.

A corn crop of three billion bushels
is blessed gift to the people of
America. Pretty nearly everybody
understands how large a factor corn
is in the food problem. Corn to feed
and fatten the live stock that is to be-
come the meat-beef, mutton or pork
for the dinner table of the Nation
Corn to feed and fatten the poultry.
Meats, milk. butter and eggs all are
affected as to supply and price by the
corn crop. With prices up where they
are now it is easy to see what could
happen in the way of vastly higher
prices if there were failure OF the
general corn crop to make it virtually
impossible to feed the live stock and
poultry which are the food of the
American people.
What corn means to the farmers
who grow it may be realized by
comparison not only of the yield of
this year with the crops of fifteen
years ago put OF lne inherent piite9'
Virtually twice the price a bushel and
twice the quantity! Hundreds upon
hundreds of millions of dollars a year
more to those who raise corn than
the widest dream could have esti-
mated not so very long ago. Con-
slider also all the crops. Probably
there will be value of more than
seven billion dollars for what the
American farmers take out of their
fields this year. This is stupendous
wealth that it would be difficult for
even prodigal nation to dissipate at
once 1t is a wealth that, wisely used,
as most of it will be, can bring bless
ings to the country.

A Remedy for Living's High Cost.

A Western paper suggests a remedy
for the high cost of living. saying that
it NAV be alleviated by devoting more
attention to farming and crop raising,
and also by relieving the congestion
in large cities, thereby reducing rents
and eliminating the cost of transit.
That is a theory advanced by James j.
Hill. the railway man, and by Pro-
fessor Benjamin Clarke Marsh. Mr.
Hill. in an address at Portland. Oregon.
recently. declared that more land must
be developed and greater quantity OF
food produced, in order to supply the
growing needs of the nation He said,
also. that one of the principal reasons
for the high price of meat was that not
enough cattle were being raised.
This is no new theory to Mr.. Hill.
for he has been writing and talking it
for wears. Professor Marsh. who is
secretary of the committee on con-
gestion of population in New York.
says. We will have to stop land
speculation. and eliminate the cost OF
transit if we wish to reduce the high
cost of living. for they are two funda-
mental matters which make life ex-
pensive for urban dwellers." Professor
Marsh finds the phenomenal growth of
cities has increased the cost of living
because we have concentrated in
cities. particularly the large cities, per-
sons who could and should provide for
themselves on a farm. He believes
that if factories and population could
be distributed so that toilers could
walk to work. millions would be saved
in money in time.
The census returns now coming in
by showing growth of from so to 90
per cent. in the last ten years. Doubt
less there is much truth in his con-
tention. but we believe the problem of
rural life will in time afford it's own
solution. AS we have repeatedly re-
marked in these columns of late. the
salvation of the country lies in the
cultivation of vast territories now idle.
In Maine are hundreds of unoccupied
farms which offer good homes and in
dependent life to as many hundreds of
families who are now living a hand-to to-
mouth existence in the larger cities of
Daily Kennebec journal., 1910-09-13

our own and other states. We have
also remarked a tendency, which is
ever increasing. toward the farm. The
natural longing of those who have gone
in the hustle and hustle of city life is
to return to the beautiful hills of their
home state and take up the work, ac
cordins t. modern ideas. by which
their fathers earned their living i'll
earlier generations. This movement
in time cannot fail to affect the cost of
living, by reason Of larger production
and increased competition in the pro-
ductOn of those articles upon which
| the great bulk of the working people
subsist
| But the relieving of congestion in
| and working people cannot be so easily
brought about. Cities. as we have
| said, contain many people whose desire
| it is to return to the farms sometime.
| but it is also true that many of these
are just beginning to recognize the
fact that real independence lies in the
| occupation which does not cost man
| his job if he is out of work a single
| day. When a farmer is i'll, his crops
| keep on growing, but when the city
labOrer is i'll, he is alarmed for the life
| Of his occupation and for the saliva
| ton of his family.

The School and the Home.

Yesterday had an Importance and
significance outside that OF the State
election, in Augusta and many ether
cities and towns OF Maine. 1t is the
opening OF the school year. and thou
sands of children take up the school
work, leaving homes and amusements
regretfully. and hardly realizing the
importance of the opportunities now
open to them throughout Maine. The
doors of the public school buildings
were thrown open Monday morning
and one of the greatest industries of
the grand old Pine Tree State is in fun
swing with the boys and girls in prep
aration for active life.
Ont of the boys and girls prepared by
the instruction of the school and home,
the school of experience makes educat-
ed men and women. In the school
where teachers set tasks and prescribe
d"ties, are prepared the precious ma
terials for later and sterner shaping

If the schools are doing their work
well. the future is safe in the keeping
