tion shall have been held.

courteous Spanish phrases, informs

peace is established in the country,
which General Madero declares wa

Progress and Reaction In
Bangor

With the thought of rebuilding the
burnt portions of Bangor, came the
demands of progressive citizens that
the old haphazard street plan be
somewhat improved. Sentiment crys-
to,,1gsed IN q mage Enoetino when
chose committee to formulate
plans. Now their report Is before
the city government for considera-
ton, and the character of the opposi-
zion Is a pretty good Endorsement
Largo landed interests through the
Commercial and other channels, are
trying to raise the same obstacles
that thwarted the plans for better
and more beautiful San Francisco
q few years back.
We hope that the progressive SEN
timent in Bangor may prevail, but
even If defeated the educational val
ue of the struggle will be consider
able. 1t will help to make clear the
absurd attitude of the public towards
the land holder, which is among the
traditions that have come down to us
out of the musty past. Without the
community the land value would be
practically nil and yet the very
creators of this value permit 1t to be
used as sort of a club to thwart the
popular will. Land needed for public
improvements is invariably held fol
exhorbitant prices, but those same
figures are rarely considered wheI
the property is listed by the asses
sors.
1t is not often that the public ha
a chance to see clearly the evil Ell
fects of this practice, but events lik
those occurring in Bangor help t
point out the nature of the heads
win, tails you lose" game, that tn
landlords invariably play with thu
people. America stands for thu
square deal, and sooner or later viii
get around to this fundamental swim
die. Here's hoping that the wrangle
In Bangor may lie both fierce and
protracted.

Can Taft Fool The Farmers !?

No matter what President Taft may
say, the farmers of Maine and New
England know what to expect when
the products from vast areas of vir
gin soil are dumped upon our mar
kets. They have been all through
that experience during the period of
frenzied railroad building in our own
great West, and once Is enough.
Maine agriculture is not vt back to
where 1t was when the decline set in,
and there is substantial distance to
climb yet.
Probably the lumber and paper
interests are aiding the farmers In
opposing reciprocity. So would ev-
cry other interest protest if it was
in for the same raw deal. So SHOULD
every man rise up in opposition tc
revising the tariff with a sledgeham-
mer. The American public Is weary
: Of this wrangling over the tariff
question, and they want it taken out
of politics.
After years and years of agitation,
Congress was induced to create a
tariff board with power to get at
the facts schedule by schedule. When
this was accomplished President
Taft announced himself as opposed
to further meddling with the tariff
until this board should be prepared
to report. Instead Of standing con-
