The Proposed New Tariff.

The first public impression of the

Underwood, of the Ways and Means
Committee. might repeat the utterance
of the celebrated Lord Give, who first
gave to England the Empire of India
and was then called home by an I'M
grateful country and accused of doing
some things for his own personal ad-
vantage. Lord Gives comment upon
his recall is said to have been. Good

The Flower Mart,

An interesting event to the children
of the East Side in New York is the
annual flower market Here in front
ola Neighborhood House, grimy
youngsters watch the entrance, some
squatting on the steps. some clinging
to side ratings, some moving restless
ly about on the sidewalk. but every
eye fixed steadily on the big double
doors of the settlement, locked fast
against Juvenile intrusion, until the
opening hour, then they rush in. Here
chiidren can get geranium plant for
two cents, nasturtium slip for a
penny, land for less sometimes. If
they yearn to possess beautiful
plant and have not the money with
which to buy it). The geraniums are
planted In a loose lump of EARTH
ready to be put into a stiff paper box
of suitable shape. and nearly every
child buys some plant although few
purchase any SO expensive as 25
cent fern. They remain to look at
the plants and flowers they cannot af
ford as though to perpetuate them in
their memories; and, after they have
gone home, older women. some of
them the mothers of the children who
nave preceded them there, buy the
remaining plants. or get from them a
orief sense of delight at their beauty
TO sweeten a day of toll.
The object of the flower mart is
not to accumulate money, but to in
stu love of plants into the women
OF the neighborhood, who cherish a
plant which they have purchased
with a pride of ownership, which does
not always seem to be the case when
is is simply gift. 1t is claimed Thou-
sands of these tenement children
| never get glimpse of tuft of grass

A Farmers Pertinent Query.

Editor Kennebec Journal:
| am glad to see the stand you are
taking on great questions now up for
Names consideration. / read your
editorial page every day with great
deal of interest and pleasure. You
have handled the reciprocity" ques-
ton ably and fairly for the farmers,
but there are other interests about
which you have said but little. For
instance. here is a point I should like
to see made=
Very many farmers have paid off
their mortgages and have been en-
abled to send their sons and daugh-
ters to schools and colleges. because
of the pulp and paper mills. am
one of that class. I have sold more
than $4,000 worth of pulp wood. in re-
cent years. furnishing employment
for myself and sons when there would
have been no opportunity to earn a
dollar without going far away from
home. ! have no doubt that the paper
industry of Maine has kept thousands
of her best sons in the State.
| am told that there are % concerns
in Maine. most of them having large
mills The production of these mills
is nearly 1000 tons of paper per day.
These concerns employ over 10000 di-
rectly i'm the mills and almost as many
more in providing the supply of pulp
wood.
Can we afford to have an industry
like that ruined to suit a political
whim? Whose political neck is worth
as much as the paper industry is to
Maine?
If you can answer that last question
in a way to satisfy the fair minded
reader, well and good. but will not
publish this letter at the same time?

THE STATE ROAD.
Proposed Change Declared an Injustice
to Residents Of Ward 5.
Editor Kennebec Journal:

Editor Kennebec journal:
viii you give the residents along
the State road opportunity for y hear
ing in your paper? We believe that
the proposed change in the location of
the State read is bound to work an
injustice to us. The plan to- use the
State Road appropriation to, put Wa
ter street in better condition will
mean, we believe. that our road in
Ward 5 will receive little or no at
tention for several years ITO come,
few years ago, when the city is
sued bonds for $4,000 for the con-
struction of permanent highway. We
received no share Of the appropriation,
because 1t was said, 1.-The State would
care for u.s." Each year we have
had the nenefit of an extension of good
road but any one who will take the
trouble to ride over the State Poad
will be convinced that we need not
only more road of the so-called per-
manent variety, but that we neeu re-
pairs on the country road beyond
where we could expect the new high
way.
We submit that the turning of the
State Road fund into the principal
business street of the city, for the
sake of making better show
ing for the Democratic admins
tration, is polNical move that
can hardly be called fair and just to
the residents and tax payers in this
ward. Regardless of political aftilia-
ton, we of this part OF the city protest,
and we ask the business men of Au-
gusta if they consider it fair prop
oSition.
We are convinced that il this mat
ter had been properly. understood by
the fair minded men of Augusta the
proposed change would have met an
overwhelming opposition.
At this late hour the best we can
seem to do is to ask you to make this
protest public. that it may be better
understood by the voters Of Augusta.

Prohibition Doe. Prohibit.

Prohibition does prohibit. or at least
it has prohibited in Maine by the con-
fession of its opponents up to the
time of the introduction of Covered
Bridge methods. why did the cigar
makers at the State Federation of La
Dor convention at Bangor advocate
the repeal of the prohibitory amend
ment? Because by their own confess
saloons and enforcement of the law
great many of the cigarmakers would
go out of business. Prohibition is
detrimental to the eigarmakers I'm
der license law our men prosper" de-
declared William Standcumbe of Bos-
ton, who represented the Portland eli
garmakers.
All through the debate over the
adoption of the resolutions against
prohibition for which the cigarmakers
were the proponents, the only argu-
ment that was made, according to pub
lished reports of the meeting. was
that it worked havoc with their bust
ness.
Why does prohibition work havoc
with the business of the cigarmakers!
and why do they prefer license? Be-
cause there are nowhere nearly as
many places, even under prohibition
NJ rCt ur 1gh
liquor is sold and to which the cigar
makers may sell their product. The
cigarmakers of Maine know this and
it was for this reason that they
worked with might and main at Ban
gor to put organized labor of Maine
in wrong position and to what end?
Not that they might sell honor made
union cigars as are sold to other
branches of the cigar trade. but that
cigars made of odds and ends for the
poor befuddled drinker that cannot
tell whether they are good or not
prohibition has lost the Cigar
makers Union from 5000 to 5000 men,
bers," was another of Standcumbes |
arguments at the convention. II has
done this. Mr.. Standcumbe, because 1t |
prohibits and not because it is a fail
ure and that is why you and your |
fellow cigarmakers are against It. |
"Oh, come. be honest" is the favorite |
nagging phrase of the license advocate |
when he finds he has used up all the |
arguments with his prohibition friend |
and has got the worst of it. Come. |
be honest" cigarmakers of Maine, ad-
NIT that the reason is because it pro-
hibits and closes the barrooms and !
that you want open barrooms. to get |
the barroom trade for your poorer
class of cigars.

Out in Vance, Kans.. man, after
beating his opponent nearly to jelly,
apologized by saying he thought 1t
was his brother-in-la law. This recalls
the incident of an Augusta man, who
a few years ago. so the story goes,
amused himself by throwing rocks to
an old man whose form he could not
plainly make out in the dusk and was
greatly shocked the next day to learn
that it was his own father law at
whom he had hurled the missiles.
