DEMOCRATIC ECONOMY?

The Democratic statesmen who defend
the large appropriations of the Plaisted
administration $50, 900 in excess of Fer
maids and So, 500, 900 in excess of Cobb's)
do so on practically the same grounds as
those upon which Fernald defended his
Six months ago, the Democratic papers
were full of this statement: "Appro-
priations have increased 800 per cent.
and population only 80 Per cent" In vain
Republicans declared that these appro-
priations were largely to be returned to
towns and cities. The Democratic spell
binders poohed at it and declared "we'll
show you! Two millions are enough for
the total appropriations in any year."
said they. And now they have not only
adopted the inevitable, exactly as did
Gov. Fernald, but they have even in
creased the appropriations to the formi-
dable sum of SO, 767, 900 or about 81, 400,-
900 year, the biggest in the history of
Maine. Now don't misunderstood US.
We are not hereby or herewith entering
into any discussion as to the necessity Of
these appropriations What we do desire
to enforce is, that today Democrats are
defending in their own administration
exactly what they called reckless and
eNtravagant under Fernald And in adj
dition to this they have eleven mills of
taxation to draw from against but little
more than half that under Fernald. -

SAILORS OLD AND NEW.

The first large square rigger to sail up
Boston harbor in twenty years, lid
Norwegian at that, stirred the wonder of
the water front in Sundays fine south
east breeze. These Norweglans, by the
way, bid fair to be the worlds last
square. rig seamen. Out of one hundred
ships and barques sold out OF the British
mercantile marine as obsolete last year
most went to Norwegian colors. AS for
the Yankees, those past-masters in the
sailship art, our huge New England many
masted schooners are their nnal strong
hold.
Americans of today are found more in
steam. The mechanical genius of the
race makes a native lad as handy in
modern ship as his forebears were on a
skysail yard or at the weather caring.
Ninety one per cent of the sailor-me-
chanics of the United States navy are
now American-born. In the merchant
marine also the young American element
is increasing. Twenty years ago the
proportion of American citizens shipped
on merchant vessels was only about 30
per cent. In 1910, according to the Blu
reau of Navigation, the American pro-
portion was 40 per cent, and natives
heavily predominated over naturalized,
the shipments of the former standing at
$3.50 for the year and of the latter at
81, 1856 Significantly, these American
citizen seamen, both native and natural
lied, of the merchant service strongly
preferred steam to sail. No fewer than
81, 097 of the $3.50 native shipments,
and 20, 976 of the 81, 1916 naturalized were
on steam vessels of some kind, and only
SO3 of both classes of Americans on
square-rigged sail ships.
The fresh-water notion that the ro-
nance of the sea no longer appeals to
young Americans now that sail is being
displaced by steam is therefore shown to
be a misty humbug. Not only is there
an almost complete Americanizing of the
personnel of the navy, but the shipments
of American merchant seamen before
the commissioners have increased from
4,00l in 1901 to 81, LAG in 1910-and this
with little encouragement in the way of
any growth of American ocean shipping
as a whole or improved chances for en-
ployment and promotion Herald

SOME sUCCINCT PHILOSOPHY.

Irving Bachelor has left behind "Eber
Holden" and the school of home-spu
philosophy in his new book keeping w

has made one character-Socrates Potter,
shrewd but educated small-town lawyer,
the philosopher of "Keeping up with
Lizzie" Here are some of his sayings:
''The land II soak up all the education

every spoilt woman stands for fool
man. Most O. them need-not master
but frank counsellor"
Education is responsible for damned
lot of ignorance.
''The boys are concluding it's cheaper
to buy piano-player than to marry one,
that canned prima-donnas are better than
the home grown article, that women are
more to be desired than playthings."
Zone day in the old time couple of
industrious Yankees were hard at work
in field. Suddenly one said to the
other. 4 wish had ten thousand dol

cussed fool, I'd set bowman without
blamin' myself.
Il can get more fun out of one happy
human soul than out of all the dogs an
horses in creation"
"Cares are like boils; it don't do to get
rid of 'em too quick. They're often a
great relief to the inside OF a man an
