Big Manifestation Likely

SAN SEBASTIAN, Aug. 8.-The Cath
olic juntas of the Basque provinces de-
cided at a meeting today to wage a
broad campaign ain defense of Cathol-
icism,' and to use all efforts to spread
the propaganda throughout Spain.
AS the first step they named gen.
eral committee to organize a mammoth
manifestation against the government.
Later they will seek to create mill
tant juntas in every province.
The Carlist leaders also held meet
Ing today, but behind closed doors.

The authorities express the greatest
confidence that the ffasco Of the anti
government manifestations marks the
end of Carlistism and of any attempt at
an insurrection in favor Of the pretender,
but they are plainly nervous, as they
fully realize the blind devotion of the
peasants of the Basque provinces, who
had been told that it was their relig-
ious duty to support the pope against
the Spanish government in the pending
conflict. sixteen priests and monks
were among the persons arrested on
charges of attempting to provoke dis
order.

Editorial Comment.
The State Finances,


several weeks ago the Democratic
newspapers Of Maine started their us
ual biennial hullabaloo about Rep,lb-
llcan cXtraVdgancc in the manage
men "f the state finances. 1t is the
same old story. varied only bv names,
dates and amounts. and it has been
tod $" often it has become familiar
and tedious. They have to make their
campaign on something, however. and
TINS issue seems to strike them as the
most available. Criticism is not diff
flcult. 1t is always easy for those
Wh" d" not have the responsibility to
clallh mat they could have done the
work better The burden Of the
Democratic song is that taxation has
o"en increased, that the expenditure is
the largest ever. and that resources
nave been exhausted, In his address
at sanford Hon. W. +. Shelton of
Lewiston takes up and replies to these
crltIclsns in convincing manner
ii IS true, as he says, that cxpen-
diturcS have been Increased under
the present Administered but the
only question is whether this increase
mas been legitimate and for the public
good. whether the public moneys
nave been honestly and wisely dis
hursed. The State has spent more
because it has had more to spend and
because there was need of the expen-
dlture. Direct taxation upon the
property of the people has not been
increased. but the larger resources
nave come from the corporation and
similar taxes. amounting as Mr.. Skel-
ton points out to S1.150.000 in round
numbers or nearly half a million dol
lars more than the entire direct State
tax. What has been done with the
money? Comparing 1909 with the pre-
ceding legislative year of 1907. it APP
pears that there has been increased
expenditure of over a million dollars
to be exact .044.324-and that this
includes payment of temporary loan
of 100000, and of S3S0,600 in reduc-
ton of the State debt. The increases
over 1907 include in round numbers
1921. 900 for educational purposes.
$3.50 for hospitals and other State
beneficiaries, sSS,000 for roads and
bridges, $4,000 for agricultural pur-
poses. $4,000 for protection against
forest fires, $4,000 for increase of leg
islatve salaries. $4,000 on account of
the new liquor law. $4,000 for increase
in taxes collected by the State on
wild lands and returned to the coun-
ties in which they are located. $4,000

1t is only when an election ap-

period in the dark ages, and preach
economy and reform. But true econ

starvation. True economy is con-
sistent with liberal and judicious cx-
penditure, guaged according to the
means and the needs. The test is
whether the money was needed
and could be afforded. and whether
it has been used wisely to conserve
the best public interests. We believe
that application Of the test indicates
the administration of Gov. Fernald
and the work of the Legislature.

And go singing down the hills

Creep amid the forest shade
Wake the May-apples. and wade
Through the brook and bid it toss
Jewel-spray upon the moss
Where the dripping banks round ny
Like the border OF cup.

Through the spearlike calamus.
Aye. drift where the grapevine sways
Whisper it of summer days
Till the tendrils all uncurl
With their graceful sweep and whirl
And the air. all grape perfume.
Bears the burden of their bloom.
And the breeZeS dance along
Footing to a Bacchus-song,
Come, o breath o June! and fling
Mystic spells DER everything
Touch the sunset til it glints
With a thousand wonder tints.
Charm the dawn until the skies
Seem the floor of naradiSe
And the glistening of the dew
Is mirror of the blue.
