Would Increase Cement Prices.

Cement which sells in the eastern
part of the United States for $1.25 per
barrel is sold in Michigan at 55 cents
barrel. This is the condition from
which the Michigan cement manufac-
turers are asking the interstate COM
merce commission to be relieved. The
selling price of cement IN this state
barely covers the cost Of raw mate
rails and labor, declared Attorney
Smith, representing the Michigan
firms.
1--WE are not asking protection from
the commission against factories
which from superior situation or be-
cause Of better methods are enabled to
make their product cheaper than we
can make it in this state" declared
Mr.. Smith. 1--WE believe that the rail-
roads have no right to give the Lee
high Valley mills access to the terri
tory adjacent to our mills by affording
freight rate which enables them to
ship cement and sell it here at 80 per
cent. below cost.
"The same rate Of freight on &C.

the Lehigh Valley mills in northern
New Jersey and eastern Pennsylvania
only one-half the distance which it
will carry it westward"
In giving a resume of the cement
industry Of the state, Attorney Smith
said that the cement factories of the
state are worth from $12,000,000 to
$15,000000. They have a capacity of
100000 to 100000 barrels Of prod
uct a year, but are putting out only
from 100000 to 100000 barrels
year. Approximately $1.OO0,000 is paid
the railroads in freight, it is claimed.

Editorial Comment
Purely Democratic Idea.
portland Express Advertiser.

tPortland Express AdVertiser.)
An organ favorable to Canadian re-
ciprocity is disturbed because it fears
that someone has been misusing the
farmers and leading them to believe
that reciprocity will be harmful to
them, and so arousing their opposition
to it. The paper in question need have
no anxiety Oh account of the farmers.
They have thought the matter out for
themselves. 1t is as apparent to them
as it must be to everyone that the
OF ening of their markets to the cheap
ef products of Canada. must lessen
their incomes. 1t would have been a
very dull farmer indeed who would
have failed to observe that the cry for
reciprocity was started in the interest
of the consumers. who would not have
thought out for himself the relation
which he bears to that consuming
public. IL the consumer is to obtain his
supplies for less money, the producer
must sell his supplies for less money.
There is no getting away from the
logic OF that argument. In our own
state which may be used as illus
tration for conditions in many states,
the community must be considered as
unit. II the agricultural interests of
Maine are to suffer, the harm will be
apparent in all business lines. If the
income of the farmers is to be les
sened. the reaction will come upon
this very consumer who depends upon
the farmer for his profit. 1t sounds
very we'll for the President to declare
that he has decided upon a course of
action and will not be swerved from it
even though he lose the farmer vote.
There is note rather foreign to the
characteristics of Mt Taft in that re-
mark To hazard the fortunes of the
Republican party and to promote the
fortunes of the Democratic party for
the sake of an idea which is purely
Democratic in its tendencies, is posi-
ton which even the President may
not wisely take.

DUE TO FREE PAPER PROVISION
Why So Many Republican Newspapers
Favor Free-Trade in Canadian
Armament
(Fredonia (Kan1 Gitizen9

The Republican party as national
organization is being silently betrayed
by leading newspapers which in the
past have been staunch advocates of
protective tariff, through basely
selfish spirit. They are keeping still
on the subject of Canadian reciprocity.
though knowing that it does violence
to the principle of Protection, because
the Canadian agreement provides for
free wood pulp. which means paper
without tariff duty. The st, Louis
Globe Democrat is the only metropoli-
tan publication we have seen that has
not, from eupidity and self-interest,
been faithless to the Republican party
by treacherously ignoring the reciproc-
ity question. 1t speaks out consistent
IL. as it has for half a century. and is
vigorous against Taft taffy to free
traders and in favor of the established
policy which has made the United
states the best market in the world,
and one in which the people who so
made it should enjoy the preference
if not the exclusive choice and con
troll.
The Protective principle is the fore
most one-the last remaining distinct
issue-having sufficient cohesive force
to successfully keep the Republican
party together as a national organiza-
tien. All the old issues growing out
of the war as We'll as of finance have
been disposed of and are no longer
factors. Only the question of protec-
ton remains If it is emascuated or
doomed. as it will be by the adoption
of Canadian reciprocity" unless the
blunder is later repaired-if such
thing is possihle-there can he no posi-
tive difference between the Republi-
can and Democratic parties as nation
al organizations.
The course of well known Republi-
can newspapers, In keeping still IN
the pending assault on the protective
policy, can be construed as due sole
~ to the free pulp (paper) provision
of the Canadian treaty. If that was
not IN the treaty President Taft would
hear an uproar that would induce him
to withdraw it from further considera-
ton. Probably he would not have had
the temerity to approve the agreement
had he not appreciated the influence
of that provision in allaying the active
opposition of the press.

who are killed are assaiied. We believe
that the same interests and the same
damnable processes which have brought
such conditions upon the great city of
New York are at work to place Maine
in the same category. We believe if the
liuuor interests. furnishing the funds in
a gigantic political play, are able to
overthrow the Maine law against the
manufacture and sale of intoxicating
drinks in this State, they Will have
gone long way toward the bringing
about of Just such conditions as exist
today in New York, and for which the
helpless illiterate, perhaps, but moth
ers withaD mothers of that city are
arraigned by tile head of great So
ciety as to blame for the killing of
hundreds of innoeents yearly. We ask
the readers of the Kennebec Journal if
they are not ready TO consider this in
all its phases and meanings, and, il SO,
if they are not ready to make the

Crimes and Concealed Weapons.

The enforcement of laws restricting
the sale of revolvers and other danger.
Gus weapons which can be concealed
about the person will help more than
anything else to check the great crime
wave that is now passing through New
York and other cities. Nothing tends
to make human life cheaper than the
carrying of weapons by which human
life may be taken. minister of the
gospel a short time ago was heard to
say that after being given a revolver
in his boyhood days to protect himself
from possible highwaymen would
wish often that a hghwayman would
only come along in order that he might
use his revolver upon him.
The carrying Of revolver by New
York man to protect himself culminat-
ed a few days ago in the man who had
brooded upon his imaginary persecu-
lions deliberately firing revolver at
crowd of little boys and girls MORALLY
wounding one of them, simply because
they rang the door bells of his apart
ment house. The weapon close at
hand and Familiarity cherished is sure,
soner or later, to be provided with the
opportunity for it's use.
When the case comes to trial il
probably will be said in the mans de-
Tense that he was insane. But all the
there is in his case is simply
the insanity of brooding over fancied
wrongs, which almost always precedes
homicidal crimes. The foreigner new
ly come to this country, who carries
his dagger with him and broods over
the failure of the law to punish for
fancied insult and then takes the law
in his own hand and does his victim
to death, carving him up in some hor-
ridly fantastieal manner that shocks
the whole world. is likewise crazy, but
only in regarding human life a cheaper
commodity than his beer and bread

WONDERFULLY BROAD VIEWS
Why Big Railroad interests Arc Push

Des Moines Capital.)

President james ]. Hill of the Great
Northern road. ordinarily denounced
by the reform press as a soulless cor
poration man, is just now being palav-
cred over in the most gushing terms
by this same doughty mugwump jour
nalistic contingent because of his
wonderfully broad views concerning
the free trade with Canada PROPOSE
ton.
The Capital has said many compli-
mentary things of President Hill. and
it has no disposition To detract, but
we are unable to take the view that in
trying to bring about free trade in
agricultural products between the
United States and Canada, the great
railway magnate is perfectly altruistic
in all his motives and methods.
President Hill knows that it would
mean a big increase in business in the
lines of road which he represents in
the Northwest, if Minnesota. North
Dakota and contiguous states were
merged with the great provinces of
Southern Canada in one vast wheat
field with no tariff barrier between.
Whatever the price of wheat paid
the farmer. the bulk of grain would
have to find its way to market over
the Hill lines of road. The adoption
of that treaty will mean bull market
in railway stocks. especially in the
roads mentioned.
Under the circumstances it is not
difficult to comprehend the wonder

Personal interest may reflect in a
degree the selfishness Of human char

likewise to have escaped attention.
The price of meats has g5nc down 30
per cent. on the average, under the
