BURDENS LIFTED

FROM BELFAST BACKS-RELIEF

Backache is heavy burden;
Nervousness wears one out;
Rheumatic pain; urinary ills;
All are kidney burdens

No use to cure the symptoms,
Relief is but temporary if the cause remains.
Cure the kidneys and you cure the cause.
Relief comes quickly-comes to stay.

The workings of the initiative and ref
erendum as illustrated in our recent cleo
ton are not such as to encourage further
efforts in that direction. Under this
system necessary legislation may be,
and is, held up or defeated. At the Sep
TENDER election the voters of Maine
were called to act upon purely local mat
Gers of which they knew nothing, and
Tor that reason large majority voted in
the negative on each proposition, and
thus may have wrongly decided the ques-

wheat crop, and the oat crop goes above

made up by the abundance of others.

There is much discussion in Florida as
TO whether primaries should be held for
the choice of a United States Senator to
succeed Hon. James P. Taliaferro. the
successful candidate at the recent pri-
maries, EX-Gov. Broward, having died.
We are not acquainted with the Florida
law, and do not understand why two pri-
lnaries should be held, but such is the
case; and further, the cost of those pri-
maries is between $4,000 and SIS, 900,
and falls upon the candidates. Under
this system it would seem that only a
rich man can aspire to the office of Unit
ed States Senator in Florida. The legis-
lature is supposed to simply ratify the
action Of the primaries.

The Democratic papers and Democratic
orators in advocating free trade or free
ships hold up Great Britain as an exam
pie. Yet sailing ship under the British
flag, it is predicted, will soon be as great
a curiosity as is a steamer under the
Stars and Stripes now in the transatlan-
tic trade. British sailing ships are find
ing so little to do nowadays that their
owners are disposing of them whenever
opportunity offers. Thus some sixty
British ships of iron or steel construction
have been sold to go under foreign flags
since the first of the year. So little de-
mand is there for tonnage of this class
under the British flag that there are
number of instances on record of vessels
lying idle for over two years at time.
AS for the steamers under the British,
German and French flags in the trans
atlantic trade, they are maintained in
part by liberal subsidies from their re-
spective governments, a policy which
the Democrats in Congress have always
opposed.

The operation of the pure food law,
which should tend to restrict the sale of
artificial vinegars = those made from
acids-should open a market for pure
cider vinegar and thus enable Maine or
chardists to utilize much inferior fruit
which otherwise would go to waste.
This, with the canning factories, would
tend to encourage orcharding, while
good fruit will always command good
prices. To produce such fruit calls for
more attention than our orchards gener-
ally have received in the past, but the
trees are now receiving better care and
the results are most satisfactory. In
this connection the Boston Globe says,
editorially: ''The farmers of New Eng
land have right to feel proud of the
quantity and quality of their apple out
put, for, according to prominent Of
fetal of our State board of agriculture,
