Night Riding No Remedy

The news comes In that the tobacco
pool under the management OF the
Burley Society of Kentucky, has col
lapsed. This was cooperative en-
terprise of the tobacco growers for
marketing their crop. Through the
power of collective bargaining they
sought to check the oppression OF the
Tobacco Trust. Vain hope.
Collective bargaining is beautiful In
theory. 1t works we'll in practice un-
til 1t encounters organized opposition.
Then it Is the same story over and
over again. Organized capital wins
every time, because organized capital
has taken pains to write the rules of
the game. 1t will not always be SO,
for gradually the farmer and the la
boring man are learning to look for a
cure for their troubles ig the right
place:
1t is through the ballot box that
predatory wealth will finally encount-
er restraint, and larger number of
voters are splitting their tickets in
diligently this fall than ever before.
But the average man can never trace
to It's source, the sinister power of
the great corporations. This work
must be done by his political lead
ers. However much the mouthpiece
Of high finance may shout caesar
ISM" and the man on horseback"
the voter who follows the lead of
Theodore Roosevelt runs small risk
of making mistake. 1--WE love him
for the enemies he has made"

The poultry producers association
which was organized Tuesday night,
is well designed attempt to secure
for distribution in Skowhegan, money
that Is now wasted at the various stop
ping places along the channels of
trade This movement is equivalent
to founding a new industry here, and
should receive all the encouragement
that an outside enterprise would Ell
joy And there is no doubt but what
1t will get 1t, too.

We are credibly informed that the
Turner Center Dairy Association is
importing cream from Canada at the
rate of one car load daily. The Bos-
ton market takes all the sweet cream
that the Association can procure and
is necessary to supply the
call for butter. When the new tariff
law was passed the duty on butter
was fixed at five cents per pound,
while that on cream was made five
cents per gallon. By importing cream
carrying sixty-five per cent butter fat,
the importer gets Canadian butter by
paying a duty considerably less than
two cents per pound. This was the
way in which Eugene Hale and his
co-members in Congress looked after
one of Names big industries.

A great deal of that indignation in
Shade Land, which becomes apparent
In this world in the darker tinge of
the clouds, or the moaning of the

made the discovery that bereaved

There Is little doubt that some of the

TELEPHONE COURTESIES


 create, and in what a ridiculous position a person would place himself who would rush into an office and breathlessly accost the first person he met with the fol- lowing:
 Hello, Hello, who are you? Get out of my road. I want to speak to Mr. Jones. Hello, Hel- lo!"
 It sounds very ridiculous and Tt does not seem as if anyone in his right senses would do such thing; nevertheless it happens many times day. and the tele- phone transmits many such aim- polite and impatient conyersa- tiOns.
 It is hard to understand how the Salutation hello" became so generally used. It matters not whether it is the president of a bank or a corner grocer who is being called, the almost invaria ble Salutation is hello. " To say the least it is an undignified manner of addressing the preSi- dent, and most of us would be very much shocked at ourselves if we were so familiar as to salute tine grocer or his clerk so when we enter the store.
 If we look around we find that the French salutation "J'ecOute" q listen) is superflOus, and the English are quite as senseless, for we are told that they say Are you there?" But there is a most agreeable mode of begin hing a telephone conversation which many people are now adopting, as it is at the same time most courteous and word saving.
 In using this method the telephone 1 S answered thus: Morton and Company, Mr. Ba ker speaking"
 The person calling then says: MT. Wood of Curtis and Sons wishes to speak to Mr. White" " This method does away with innumerable "Hellos. y "Who is this, " Whom do you wish to speak to, and like annoying and time killing phrases.
 Then when Mr. White comes to the telephone it is not at all necessary for him to say "Hello;" he knows that Mir. Wood is wait ing for him. How refreshingly courteous it would be for him to begin with Good Morning, Mr. Wood." It is more than probable that if Mir. Wood had chosen to visit his office instead of calling by telephone. he would have vol comed him with genial hand shake. It is particularly a nice thing to send that handshake ov CT the wire with courteous words spoken in a clear, pleasant, Pm glad you called" voice.
