Gov, Eernald's Prophecy.

1t seems to be difficult to satisfy the
We pick up two Democratic dailies.
The first has this: 1.-THE general opin-
ion seems to be that the reelection of
Governor Fernald means increased
statutes and a stronger pull than here
tofore on the enforcement rope Hor-
rible thought-to Democracy!
The second daily quotes the Demo-
cratic candidate for Governor as say
ing:
IF the Governor had been honest
in his efforts in regard to the liquor
law, would he have vetoed the Hast
ings law. which would have settled the
Sturgs deputies for good and all
Think it over" 1.-THE Journal has re-
Gently explained why the Governor
vetoed the Hastings bill.
In one Democratic quotation the idea
is that Gov. Fernald has enforced the
liquor law: in the other that he hasn't
enforced it.
Get together Democratic brethren;
get together. Agree on the liquor
question, if on no other.
Both these bowls over the manner
in which Republicans have enforced
the prohibitory law suggests a re-
mark which GOV. Fernald made to a
Journal editor two weeks ago. Said
he with a smile: "By the end of the
campaign the Democrats won't have
left a leg to stand on in the shape of
legitimate arguments and their chief
plea will be to the liquor element to
give them votes on account of the rum
question"
1t looks as if Democrats weren't
waiting for the end of the campaign
to whoop things up because of the
prohibitory law.

Maine is just coming into her own,
remarked Harry B. Ivers. general
manager of the L. A. & W., to the
Journals Tramp, who inquired what he
meant. Briefly" replied Manager
Ivers, the possibilities of Names wa
ter powers. and agriculture are just
commencing to be found out. In devel-
oping Central Maine the l.. A. & w. is
doing an important service to the
State. The high cost of all farm pro-
duce is a GodSend to the farmers OF
Maine and a reason why Maine farms
are becoming in greater demand. FOR
example, | know of seven men who
had been doing business in Boston and
Worcester, one of whom received $40
week in Thompson's Spa in Boston,
who have taken up farms along the
line of our road and gone into scienti-
fic farming. They obtain big prices
and can sell all the garden truck and
stock which they can raise.
THE way they have gone about it
has been to discover just what kind OF
fertilizer and how much of it the par
ticular soil OF each farm requires.
What these seven men are doing. hun
dreds more are about in various local
tiles in Maine and thousands more
eventually will come to Maine, and
great number of farmers are moving
down from Aroostook into Central
Maine in order to be nearer the edu-
cational and social life OF our cities.
Zone of these seven men l men
toned, told me the other day that on
his farm in Maine he lived happier
life and made more money net IN the
course of a year than he did when he
was receiving his $40 a week in Bos-
ton.
Hitherto the chief drawback to
farm life in Maine has been the lack
of satisfactory social life. All this has
been changed by the trolley. The l.
A. & W., by an arrangement with the
steam railroads, switches their freight
cars from the steam rails and runs
them over the trolley road into the back
yards of the farms of Maine, thereby
facilitating the shipment of Maine
farm produce. There are great posi-
bilities ahead for the Maine apple as
we'll as potatoes. l know of one farm
er who hand picks every apple in his
orchard, wraps them in paper before
packing, as they do in the West, and
obtains in the market more than
enough money to pay for the differ
ence in the additional labor
BY the building of the Magalloway
dam the water power at Lewiston will
be enormously increased and in my
opinion within the next 10 or Is years
the population of Lewiston and Au-
burn will be doubled.
1.-The same story with different va
rations applies to all of the sections
of Maine. The cities generally are
prosperous through agriculture, or
charding. numbering and manufac-
lures"
"How about Bath?' inquired the
Tramp. +...
Bath is practically the only laggard
in the State. owing to the depression
in shpbuilding. Bath needs manufac-
lures, shoe, or furniture factories. or
any kind of manufacturing industries.
Bath makes the mistake of having all
of her eggs in one basket. but she will
eventually find this out and become a
manufacturing city also" concluded
the hustling trolley road manager.

GETTING Into Action!

The last lap of the State campaign
Is near and these closing weeks the
Republicans will very properly devote
to the posting up of voters on subjects
pertaining to the really live issues of
the battle.
Upon preliminary work of the fight
the Republican State Committee has
been expanding much time and labor
all summer. When the results of these
labors are learned by Maine voters,
the only question will be how large to
make the majority for Governor Fer
nald and the Republican administra-
ton of the last two years, as testi-
monial by grateful people for good
Republican work in behalf of the COM
mon people and tax payers OF the
prosperity of Maine.
The only argument left Democrats,
after the Republican press and speak
ers have placed their case before the
voters. will be their pet advocacy OF
resubmission and local option and Ii
cense for such city voters as prefer
easy qualification of the liquor appe-
tite to happiness in the homes, educa-
ton for the children, care OF the sick,
better roads and the general well-be-
ing and prosperity of the State.
AS a tip in advance as to the coming
educational campaign by the Republi-
can party, the Journal may give the
Democrats some of those figures which
they are so eternally crying for, but
which they carefully abstain from
publishing when given!
For example, take our sister city of
Hallowell right here in Kennebec
county?
In 1882, under the Democratic Gov
ernor Harris NJ Plaisted, the last ex-
ecutive Democracy had in Maine, Hal
lowell paid State tax of $7,256,27 and
received back from the State for
school purposes $1,44o.O4. The net
amount paid to the State by Hallowelf
in 1882 therefore was $6,S1623.
In 1910 Hallowelps State tax is ST.
71S.72
In 1910 Hallowell receives from the
State,
School fund ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. S3,Ol4 VI
New school fund .............. 2,452. 10
High school ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. 10000
Roads 480. 90
Total Hallowell receives ............ 6,447. rs
Net tax paid by Hallowell to the
state ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. ei,Eio''i
In other words in this Republican
year against which Democrats with
the aid of their fund advanced
by liquor interests of Maine and
Massachusetts, is SO strenuously
bowling, Hallowell. with all the
expenditures for good roads. hospitals,
high and common schools, is $5.545.26

by the l.. A. & w. railroad not exceed

five-o'clock in the afternoon. The land
lord told his guest that the previous

without a cent in his pocket and at
the end of three years shot himself.
His estate showed $4,000, most OF
which he had received as profit from
the miners over his bar.

tleman, was an excellent thing for the
landlord of this hotel by giving him

money went over the bar could
ill afford to so expend it. By buying
rum they robbed their families.
