in 1912 is now on. Mr.. Taft, like
all other stalwart Republicans. is
doing everything in his power to
obscure and side-track the tariff
issue So that the great monopolies
and trusts can continue enriching
themselves at the expense of the
public.
The people of this country are
now thoroughly convinced that the
robber tariff under which we are
now living and suffering is the
mother of the trusts. The Repub
licrn party and President Taft dc
not want the old mother harmed
but they want her to live in health
and flourish while he goes through
the operation of painting harmless
red steaks on her offsprings, the
trusts, like clown at circus anG
tries to make the public believe
that those painted stripes are real
cuts. BY the enforcement of the
antitrust law the Standard Oil
Co. and the Tobacco Co. are sup
posed to have dissolved and to be
cut into several pieces. But they
are not cuts at all but merely
painted stripes entirely harmless
and the Standard Oil and Tobacco
Co. are doing business and gougng
the people just the same way and
for the benefit of the same people
as the did before they were
theoretically dissolved by the Su-
preme Court.
The Democratic doctrine is to
lower the tariff so that the great
corporations of this country which
now control the necessities of life
will have to sell those necessities at
reasonable prices else we will buy
them abroad.
1t has been clearly demonstrated
that no industry of this country
needs protection from tariff laws.
because our factories are al
ready selling goods abroad cheaper
than they do to the American con-
sumner, so that the tariff merely
enables them to plumber the Amer
lean people. Mr. Taft and the Re-
publican party cannot slde-track
the tariff issue.

The Year Ends.

The years work is closed.
Starting out on the new year ditch
ing the wet land is job for this
time of the year. In summer the
ground is hard and the heat in
tense, now the soil is easily spaded
and scraped and the air is cool and
bracing for this kind of work
Some water is present by which
you can grade your work and know
it is effective in the absence of an
engineer. Much money is lost in
trying to work semi-wet land
Late planting must always be
made and after our rainfalls make
it impossible to grow good crop
You have patches of smaller or
greater acreage of these wet places
in the farm that you should take
out now. Thing is best, but under
ground board bitches will do the
work until they rot and open ditch
ing is far better than none anc can
be rapidly done with mules and
scraper in open fields where tree
roots do not interfere. Ditchir 6
applies to the bottom lands. but the
work of leveling or terracing hill
land is just as important to prevent
It's washing and this is the time to
do it. Our hills will all be gone
under our present plan of farming
them unless change is made
Grasses and winter cover crops of
rye. etc., will help to hold them,
but they must be terraced if we
continue their cultivation. other
wise they will become grinning
gullies to be turned into the aband-
oned field section which stand as a
monument to our ignorance or
want of energy.
Take out the stumps now. The
ground is easier spaded, the stump
puller moves them easier from the
soft earth and dynamite is OF
greater efficiency than when the
ground is dry. 1t will cost you
something to be sure. but it costs
you to break tools on them, drive
around them and to hoe the grass
from around their spur roots. Be
sides you cannot use cultivators in
stumps, nor ten foot harrows, nor
mowers, nor reaper nor any of the
improved farm implements. and
that is the farming of the future.
We do not disparage the import
ance now attaching to the per acre
yield and the putting on of COM
post, of tree leaves carried in from

A Runaway Tiger Lily.


We met a runaway tiger lily in a
thicket of weeds the other day and were
SO surprised we couldn't think of word
of advice to say to IT, How could we.
unless we had known just what trouble
of spirit made it escape from the Old
fashioned company of grass pinks and
southernwood and bachelors buttonsE
1t seemed a mystery, for the tiger-lily
itself is old-fashioned. Our grand
mothers loved to see copous splashes of
its warm color all over the garden. NOW
we come to think of 1t, though. the spot
ted flower always had scornful and re-
bellious look as who should say: I'm
putting up with this tameness now Tor
reasons best known to myself. but some
day my dander will get up in earnest and
then you'll see!"
So here il was, brought down by the
water probably to this riverside tangle
of green, and the shining buttercups and
white siverweed were looking quite mild
and civilized by comparison.
What next2 We asked ourselves-for
when you have once grown in a garden
wouldn't you expect to lose some of the
savage's ability to fend for yourself.
Well. after all, it depends on your tenn
per. IL it is good hot aggressive one
like the tiger lily's you might be abund-
antly able to wrestle with overlapping
weeds and curling tendrils of woodbine
that choke the life out of strong trees.
II the tiger lily is a born fighter, which
it certainly looks to be. it may have
found its proper environment In this
rough place.
Only it is hardly decent of 1t to be
curling its spotted lip and making faces
at its pretty kinsfolk of the wild. Can 1t
be that it is already putting on airs be-
cause 1t came out of a garden? You
know the shallow sort who do that very
thing-despise their surroundings ana
then boast of them the minute they get
somewhere else. No. we prefer to oei'eVe
that the tiger lily looks that way because
it was born with a chip on its shoulder
and can't keep the peace even in the
company of silverweed and shininsy
ood-natured buttercups.

MAINE A BEACON TO THE WORLD
Connecticut Temperance Union Praying That
Principle of Prohibition Be Estab-
lished More Firmly.

AT meeting of the Directors of the Connecticut Temperance
Union which organization representing the sentiment
of the citizens of the entire commonwealth held in Hart
ford, Conn. July IS, 1911, it was UNANIMOUSLY
Reso1ed That have heard with pain of the effort to
repeal prohbory clause of the Constitution of the State
Maine That State the pioneer in such legislation has for
than half century been beacon and an INSPIRATION not
only to her sister states but the whole world Any such
backward step would only be intellectually injurious to the
people of Maine would depressing influence
living the of temperance everywhere and would cause
deep sorrow to millions of people
We therefore extend the friends of temperance Maine
our heartfelt sympathy and prayers for their holding
the state prohibition We hope that the voters will rally to the
standard such numbers will establish the principle more
firmly than ever will result enforcement of the law much
more vigorous successful than has hitherto been possible
We direct Secretary to express our sentiments to the
people of Maine such way shall seem best to him.
Signed by order and behalf of the Directors OF the Con-
necticut Temperance Union.

Where Roques Disacree,

The last issue of The Bulletin. the
Rum Trusts official organ in Maine.
declares that the prohibitionists are
putting out ten times as much money
in the fight as are the liquor interests.
We would not. for the world or less,
accuse Mr.. Fassett of deliberately
misstating the case, but we would re-
fer him to the Biddeford Record which
quotes John Carberrys article as au-
thority and says:
But this impartial observer does make
TINS assertion as a condition of the cam
palgn that is to be taken into considera-
ton: That money will have a great in
influence, He estimates that the cam
palgn will cost $3.50. 600 and that of this
slV0W0 Will be spent to retain prohibi-
ton and s15O,ooo to secure repeal"
So Carberry and the Record do not
agree with The Bulletin, which says:

throughout Maine for the purpose of be.

being sent into this State for the purpose

its fears several weeks ago and has
given it's reasons. If the Argus wishes
to know on what we ground our fears
let us say that it is because a great
the polls on Sept. II. have had no OPP
portunity to know that the Argus
doctrine is untrue. They never saw a
saloon and they have never been in a
license state to see that local option
laws are as badly enforced as prohibit
ton. Many of them will believe the
statements that Rum Trust laws are
always enforced and the laws made by
respectable residents of the State
never.
The Argus and other false proselyti-
zers have for years carried the stock

only hypocrites and perjurers. and IL

young voters of Maine do not know
that such statements are downright
falsehoods They know that our pro-
hibitory law has not been enforced as it
might have been. but they do not know
that license laws are NEVER enforced.
and that any license territory has its

Apples From Tasmania.
New Bedford Standard. }


DoubtIett the fruit dealers are rat
ing it a great triumph that one more
unses sonable, from the local view,
fruit is to appear in the American
market. For many years England has
been eating apples in the spring and
early summer grown on the other side
of the earth where the seasons are the
reverse of those of the northern hem
isphere-in Tasmania. AS might have
been expected what anybody can have
American must have, even to apples
from the antipodes; and now that
modern methods of packing and refrig-
GRAFTON make possible their safe trans
port. a shipment of Tasmanian apples
has been brought over from England
to New York-more than a thousand
boxes.
Variety is rated the spice of life
but we take it that the saying never
grew out of the existence of a great
number of things of the same general
sort available at any one time the
variety that gives flavor to life Is
synonymous not with multiplicity but
with novelty. Novelty has ceased to
be characteristic of the food market.
The average buyer knows no season
for fruits and vegetables. Practically
all the year round he can buy what
he wants grown in the native season

Prohibition In Texas.

(New York Tribune.l
The result of the vote in Texas lase
Saturday on prohibition amendment
to the constitution is altogether ihde-
eisive. Apparently the amendment has
ben defeated by a majority of less than
5000 in a total vote of nearly 5O0.o9o.
Such areverse will be certain TO en-
courage a new submission movement,
and the legislature is not likely to
have the courage to resist a demand
for another test of opinion. The
anti Prohibitionists were overcoun-
dent of victory Governor Colquitt
rashly predicted a majority of 100000
and The Houston Post has been
talking about a landslide of 100000
against prohibition. The extravagant
expectations of the i-Prohihition
leaders make their actual majority
seem painfully inadequate.
There can be no doubt that the
economic reasons which drove other
Southern states to adopt state wide
prohibition operated strongly in Texas.
The cities as rule protest firmly
against policy which it is not prac-
ticable to enforce within their limits
anu WHICH teIQ iiitIelS " SuOStiAbt &c
unlicensed blind tigers" for licensed
saloons. But the country districts,
which lack sufficient police machinery
to deal with the crimes resulting
from intoxication, have little sympa-
thy with the home rule argument of
the municipalities. They want the
traffic made unlawful. trusting to the
added cost and difficulty of getting
liquors to keep them out of the hands
of those whose consumption of them
constitutes menace to public order.
The Democratic machine which now
controls Texas politics is tied up with
the liquor interests in the cities, and
the success of the prohibition move
ment would probably bring about
new rule within the party This. 1t
will be generally conceded. Texas
needs. The vote of Saturday, there
fore, augurs ill for Governor Colquitt
and the powers which nominated him
last year at the Galveston convention.
It is a serious blow not only at high
license in the cities but at the per
p9tuity of the Bailey Colquitt ma
chine.

Spirit Of Neal Dow Lives.

The son of his father speaks. Col

argument Of a friend of repeal. Ken

the spirit of Gen. Neal Dow still lives
in the heart and brain of his son. The
noble fighter who has gone beyond the
shafts of the Rum Trust, seems to have
left to Maine and her people tower of
strength for his cause.
Col. Dow declares that constitutional
prohibition is not restraint on the peo-
Pies freedom of action, but is q safe
guard: that the law is for the purpose
of holding men to sense of duty and
accountability. He would not listen
to the proposition of outside interests
which seek to control and corrupt the
peoples lawmakers.

produce elsewhere. Col Dow answers
every point which the friend of the liz
uor interests offers. He not only JUS
titles the Maine law of which his faith
er was the father, but convicts license
of all that is evil in traffic that is all
bad. The letter is long but it is well
