Editorial Comment.
Names Waterways.
(PoStop Post

Plans are announced for the building
of series OF three gigantic dams on
the Kennebec a few miles below the
outlet from Moosehead Lake. Large
areas of forest will be flooded and it's
trees killed for the purpose Of obtain
ing electric power to be sold in the
lower portion of the State. II that
were all the damage, the scheme might
not deserve criticism.
Development of unused water energy
is, of course, coming to be essential
and Maine is rich in such power. But
if the Harvesting of her rivers is car
ried to such an extent as to ruin her
lakes and woods scenically, regret is
certain to come in the future. Should
the new dams harm the incomparaDle
beauty of Moosehead, for example,
electric power, useful as it is, would
be a poor recompense for the loss.
Maine derives several millions of dol
lars annually from people who go to
her as to a great natural playground.
If she wishes to retain this splendid
income, she must take care to keep
her waterways from spoliation.

Dietetic Formulas.
Baltimore American.)

The crusade against high food prices
has again brought to the front those
dietetic economists who explain just
how healthy man can maintain ply
steal vigor on 20 cents per day and thus
not only bring the meat trust to re-
pentancc but put it out of business.
Here, for instance, is the Hartford
Times remarking that 1T is fact that
20 cents will pay for all the food that
the average person in New England
really needs today, and very palatable
food at that. We could all of US live
on 20 cents worth of food day right
now, if we were willing to do it,
According to the prevailing report
the most generally depended upon
foods up New England way are the
Goldfish cake, the small field bean COM
monty known as the navy bean, and a
choice variety of pumpkin. With just
enough pork to season the beans, and
just enough potato to modify the viru-
lence Of the Goldfish, and just enough
wheaton flour to make pie crust for
the stewed pumpkin a repast that
would be "all the food that the aver
age person in New England really
needs today might be prepared. But
the average person outside New
England would soon turn up his toes
and yield up his ghost if obliged to
SubSist on such a diet
Every dietetic theory planned on a
low-cost basis may fit the peculiarities
of the individual who delivers the for
mula, but is not likely to meet the re-
quirements of the general public, I'M
less there is commences of food
habits, such as very likely prevails in
New England, derived from long de-
penGence on certain kinds of food
There has been a perfect flood of dict
cite formulas, eliminating meats. since
the 1-don't- eat-mcat crusade began;
but while these menus almost uneXcep-
tlnnaly suggest something which
somebody would like for a change,
there is scarcely one of them upon
which family of four persons would
have a harmony of opinion if it We're
suggested as d Once-a-Week bill of
fare. The fact of the matter is that
the starvation scheme of beating the

OF the gentleman who tried to quiet
his dog by holding the beast out of the

Federal Charters.

The federal corporation charter bill
| which has been presented in the Sem
ate, is encounterng opposition, as was
expected, and the latest news from
Washington is that it will not be
|spressed for passage this session. The
bill as drawn by Attorney General
Wickersham has the following lead
ing points: that the federal corpora
ton may be formed by five or more
citizens of the United States and must
have a capital stock of not less than
100000 no corporation can own any
stock of another corporation; the stock
may be paid for in cash or in proper
ty, but in case of the latter the stock
certificate must contain a plain state
ment that it is so issued; no stock with
4 par value may be issued in pay
ment of property to an amount IN
par value exceeding the total value
fixed by the commission of corporation
after payment; power is given to Dor
row money, issue bonds and mortgage
property on two-thirds vote OF the
stockholders; nothing except money
shall be taken in payment to the cor
poration for such bonds except at
fair valuation as fixed by the COM
mission; when a corporation fails to
pay written obligation at maturity,
or If an execution against it's property
shall have been returned unsatsfied,
the commissioner may appoint and re-
ceive with the usual power of chancery
receivers; when this federal corpora
ton undertakes to become a monopoly
it's charter is forfeited, it's property is
subject to taxation but not it's fran |
chise and corporation fees are to be
charged amounting to one-tenth of |
one per cent. of the total capital up |
to $4,000, 900, one-twentieth of one per !
cent. from s10,00O00O to $2O.OO0OOO and |
$3.50 on every million dollars of capital
in excess Of s20,0Oo00o.

Smith Declares
He Was MiSquoted
Is Out After Support for Himself for
Speaker, but is Not Fighting
Cannon,

Congressman Walter 1. Smith was in q
measure misquoted In a press dispatch sent
out from Council Bluffs late Saturday night
and published In the Sunday morning pa
pers, In which he was made to say that he
was opposed to the reelection of Speaker
Cannon. AS 1t is we'll known that Con-
gresham Smith is most prominently men
toned In connection with the speakership
at the beginning Of tho next session. the
statement placed him in rather a rude atti-
tude of declaring that he was fighting
Speaker Cannon. 1t has long been known
that the closest personal friendship exists
between Congressman Smith and Speaker
Cannon, although they have not agreed at
all on the absorbing question OF rules. with
Smith urging many OF the features de-
manded by the socalled insurgents.
Saturday evening Congressman Smith re-
ceived a telegram from the New York
World announcing that the paper was in
receipt of a report thaS Speaker Cannon
had announced to intimate friends his resig-
nation in favor Of Judge Smith. The New
York paper asked IL this rumor had reached
Council Bluffs. Judge Smith replied that
It had not, but that he would be glad TO
have any support the New York republicans
could give. In no way did he intimate that
he was fighting Speaker Cannon, and was
not asked for his opinion concerning the
speakers reelection.
