Evidently the Lumber Trust was afraid, or
unable, to prevent the temporary escape of
their victims. The burncd-ou were desper-
ate; the demand which they placed upon
their representatives in Congress was too pas
sionately imperative to the resisted The Taft
administration has long been tempest-tossed
on troubled sea, therefore it was thought
good politics to let the Lumber Trust release
its prey for little while, leaving it to make
up for lost time later on when the people are
not looking.
But haven't you been asking yourself, By
what right does the Government suspend the
tariff law for single hour in response to
any kind of appeal? 1t has no such au-
thorlty-lt is violation of oaths of Office IF
they can suspend one law, they can suspend
them all. When Government is operated
after that fashion, it is not one of Law, but
of personal whim. Under such system, no.
body and no business is safe.
The first time the tariff law was waived. it
was done by Act of Congress, which, of
course, was legal. 1t was not right, however
for the waving of the Law was
special benefit to one citizen at the
expense Of all the others. On his trip
around the world General Sherman had
accepted, ostensibly for his daughter
Minnie, some diamonds from the Khedive of
Egypt. He didn't want to pay duty on them
and Congress let him bring them in free.
The next time the tariff duty was waived, no
Act of Congress was required. A Roman Cath

consisted of immensely valuable jewels and
gems. The collector at the port of San Fran

IN the history Of this country"
Well, [ claim to be one of the candid OBJ
servers, and my principal occupation here
of late, is to take candid observations of men
and things. After having candidly observed
what's going on, [ often have quite a lot of
more or less pleasing remarks to make. AS
you will see as you proceed, Wlckersham was
quite right in trusting himself to 'every can
did observer"
Being, myself, of that worthy tribe, I am
going to Justify the confidence which the
Attorney General has reposed in me.
Never before in the history of this country
was the standard of public and private NOR
atty so high Everybody is good. Every
body is honest. Nobody lies Nobody gives,
or takes brides. Every public officer is true
to his trust. None of them fools the people,
or breaks platform promise. Nobody cheats.
Everybody votes as he prays The ballots are
always counted right. No election return
ever wanders off into invisibility, or ever IS
doctored. Republicans and Democrats are
consecrated to duty, and they strive nightly
to make us happy.

Ballinger means to do right. He didn't in
tend to help the Morganheim syndicate steal
Alaskan coal-felds, and American power

litigation, involving $5O,O0O,00O of public

Innocent, but incautious, he never for

Governments case to be left to bog aoh0 a0as

Ballingers motive was good; he wanted to
encourage a youthful aspirtant to legal re-

Indeed, the Morganheim syndicate itself
has no bad intentions. IF it can secure, for
$4,000, public property worth $5O,O00,000,
why should anybody make a fuss about it?

was an experiment on a large scale, of the

with us; and every woman is safe Only 10
murders were committed in London last year:
1877 were committed in New YorE-but that's
nothing to fret and fume over.
In France, Germany and England crime is
kept down by swift trials and punishments.
Over here, there are hundreds of murderers
that are never even arrested. Two lobbyists
of the L. & n. Railroad can make threats to
murder, equip themselves to murder, and then
deliberately commit the crime, in broad day
light, on the public streets-and nobody is
punished. But what of that?
All these devices and contrivances that YOU
see on every side, whose OBJ ect appears to be
to keep people from stealing, are mere form
alltleS. All these stories about vice and crime
are wildly exaggerated.
Mr.. Wickersham pleads with us to quit
distressing our public officials. Crust them"
says he.
We do. We have implicit confidence in
Root, Knox, Aldrich, Smoot, Lodge, Bailey,
Ballnger and-last, but not least-in Wick
ersham himself
AS 'candid Observer" I would not have
my confidence in these men shaken, for any
thing in this wide world.
What would life be worth, if one should
lost faith in Smoot? Who'd comfort us, if
we doubted Ballinger? Where'd we get balm
and consolation, if we should become shaky
on Wickersham?
No, Sir: these men have conducted them
selves IN such way as to win our profound
respect. They are men after our own hearts.
We honor them, inexpressibly
When they do the bidding of the Trusts, it
is for our good.
''Whom the Lord loveth, He chasteneth.'
That principle, the Taft administration and
its Democratic allies have put into constant
practise. When they give us hell, it's because
they love us so. Affectionately paternal, they
lay on the rod of class-legislation; but it
hurts them more than it does us.
OF course, this editorial sounds different
from some others of mine; but those others
were written before Wickersham testified in
behalf of public and private morals. Since
he made that New York speech, I've changed
my mind. One should always be open to
conviction
[ am going to trust Wickersham, trust Gal
linger, trust Smoot, trust Joe Cannon, trust
Lorrimer, trust Burrows, trust Lon Living
ston, trust Pussy-foot Howard, trust Charles
Murphy, trust Ebert Hubbard trust Pat
Calhoun, and many similar and sundry and
such.
How far?
About as far as you can sling an elephant
by his snout.
We all know how low public and private
morals WERE when such shady characters as
George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John
Quincy Adams, James Monroe, and Andrew
Jackson were at the head of the Federal
Government! We can easily recall how
Washington composed his cabinet of obscure
corporation attorneys and what a shock it
was to the country when their identity and
connections were disclosed. It was Taft that
selected such men as Alexander Hamilton,

The Globe goes into the homes of the sub
stantial people of Greater Boston and New
England people with money to spend; there
fore it is not to be wondered at that the Globe
is recognized as the great advertising medium
in this section
This recognition is proven by the fact that
the Globes advertising receipts last year ex-
ceeded those of any preceding II months. In
GLIDING all kinds of advertising, the Globe
showed gain last year of $50, SS1 lines over
the amount printed in its columns in 1909, as 1t

of such matter, while the next best showing OF
Boston newspaper was 5, 142, 4SO lines of ad-
vertising. These figures cover from Jan. to
Dec 81, 1910.
In every large city the bulk of the small
advertisements of the community appear in
either one or two of its newspapers. The
Globe last year printed 479,S77 separate small
| advertisements of the want class, gain of
1912 over what it printed the year before,
and 347,14S more than appeared in any other
Boston paper last year. This was because re-
suits can readily be traced, and advertisers
know they get results from the Globe columns.
According to the last national census, ,423, :

in the country and the tenth largest city in
the world. Boston is the center of the most
populous and wealthy community in America
and in the Globe it has one of the 10 largest
newspaper properties in the world. Just what
the people in this great community think OF
the Globe is we'll shown by its circulation ano

THE G. A. R. TO BE INCORPORATED

1t will surprise many people that such
an important organization as the Grand
Army of the Republic can have existed
all these years without being incorpor-
ated Such is the fact, h5wever, and
now steps have been taken to give the
G. A. R. legal entity. The application
will soon be laid before Congress and
without doubt will receive favorable ac-
ton.
The most pressing reason for incor-
poration is the ability a charter would
confer to receive and hold gifts. 1t is
expected that when the organization is
made corporation many persons will be
glad to remember it in their wills. For
some years gifts have been received, and
as time goes on the number increases.
The bepefactions now amount to several
thousand dollars and it is expected that
more will be received.
While the old soldiers must inevitably
pass on to face the Great Commander, it
is estimated that the last of the veterans
will not disappear until 1855. That is a
long distance ahead and, as the organiza-
ton shows marked vigor. there is every
indication that it will remain strong
force in the life of the nation. Boston

FOR FLETCHER'S
Q ASTORIA
NEW MAINE RAILROADS.

The Augusta correspondent of the Ban
gor CONNIE rcial says that it is expected
that the Bangor & Aroostook rebate bill
to assist in the construction of branch
line from West Seboeis to St. Francis
through the Allegash region will be put
into the legislative hopper very soon.
The temper of the legislature in relation
to this project is not nearly so hostile
this winter as it appeared to be two years
ago. The opening up of the great lumber
region through which this branch will be
built is regarded by many business men
as of extreme Importance to the State
and to ensure immediate construction of
this branch line by the Bangor & Aroos-
took is the desire of many business men
in eastern Maine who we'll anticipate the
requirements of this section of the State.
A bill is to be presented in the legisla-
ture for new railroad that it is said will
decrease the distance between Bangor
and Houlton by about 35 miles and prac-
tically come into that city upon it's own
rails. By the route proposed for the new
line Aroostook will be given direct line
to the sea which will be something like
so miles shorter than the present Bangor
N AIoOStOOh Outlct at ocdI lHlS
will be by means of the Bucksport branch
of the Maine Central, which the new line
will hit at Brewer, just across the Pc
nobscot river from Bangor. The south
ern terminal of the Bucksport branch is
the Hancock county town of Bucksport,
an all the year round seaport, with ample
harbor room for large amount of ship
ping. so on that point the new road is an
easy competitor for the heavy freight
which should go by water.
Incorporation papers have been filed
at Augusta for the "R. & 7. Cement
Railroad" to build line from Rockland
through Thomaston, South Thomaston,
and St. George, or to acquire and oper-
ate railroad covering that territory.
The company proposes to issue $25, 600
common stock and has $12, 500 paid in.
The stockholders of record are Edward
B. Macallister, Rockland; Serene T. Kim
ball, Rockland; Alfred A. Cook, New
York; Frederick G. Braun, New York,
and Alfred S. Black, Rockland, who
owns most of the stock. The company
has charter from the legislature Of
1909, comforting the right of eminent
domain, with power to cross tracks of
other railroads, to build or acquire and
operate railroad, and with the privi-
lege of issuing not exceeding $1,000, 900
stock. Mr.. Black is president and treas
urer, and Mr.. Kimball clerk.
