Somewhat Of a Spectacle.

Mr.. Plaisted. standing on Augustus
fifty-six thousand dollar bond issue
for good roads, and berating the Re-
publicans of this state because the
Legislature appropriated money for
good roads, hospitals and schools. as
suredly is somewhat of spectacle
The world is familiar with satan re-
buking sin, indeed has heard OF those
who condemn in others that when
they assume virtue for having them
selves done. Mr. Plaisted's attitude,
however, isn't exactly parallel, though
fully as inconsistent.
In municipal affairs he approved the
plan Of taxing the future to provide
for the present. The State admins
tration has provided for the present
without taxing the future. though in
so doing it has increased the tax on
railroads, wild lands and certain other
corporate interests beyond what the
Democrats approve.
During Mr.. Plaisteds first term as
MAYOR the people of Augusta voted to
issue bonds wherewith to build better
roads He was so heartily in sympa
thv with this plan for increasing our
indebtedness for the sake OF improve
ments that he has not attempted to
conceal his share therein. Indeed
some seem to have gotten the impress
sion that he furnished these good
roads out of his love for our beautiful
city. Has anyone criticised him for
what he did in the cause of better
highways? Have the Republican tax
payers blamed him? On the contrary
have not they congratulated him on
being mayor with such generous
amount of money to expend, a sum
such as the city never before raised
for a municipal administration to ex-
pend? And. yet, he now asks the peo-
ministration for approving permanent
Improvements every bit as necessary
as those which he championed in mu-
nicipal affairs. though to pay for these
the States Indebtedness has not been
increased.
But facts are chiefs that Wilma ding,
And downa be disputed"
so will Mr. Plaisted kindly tell us
whether as governor of Maine he
would do as he did as mayor of Au-
gusta? Would he lower the tax rate
and continue the improvements by is
sue of bonds, or would he have the
State do less for good roads, schools
and hospitals than is done at present
Surely the people have right to
know.

What About a Lobster Trust?

The price of Holsters is a subject to
giving attention, and which might we'll
invite the study of professional stu
dents of economics. Fish Commits
sioner Bowers has planted 148000, 900
Holsters along the Maine coast which
ought to be ready for shipment this
season. This is a quantity enough to
give every man, woman and child in
the United States at least lobster
and half. assuming there were no
other sources of supply. Nevertheless,
a very small proportion of the people
who love this crustacean will enjoy
salads this autumn at reduced rates
There are persistent rumors of huge
lobster trust which is secretly oper-
ating in Maine and elsewhere. This
is caused by the enormous difference
between the price the lobster catchers
get and the lobster sellers receive.
We are surprised that the Democratic
leaders have not charged Governor
Fernald's administration with being to
blame for this condition, although, as
everybody knows, it is a matter for the
Federal authorities to correct. The
protection of the lobster is the saliva
ton of the salad, as most people real
ize, but their philosophy is not equal
to the contemporaneous increase of the
lobster supply and the maintenance of
almost prohibitive prices.
