The New Marine Senator.
lMarine Journal.l

Tenure of office Will be brief for
Obadiah Gardner, nominated by Coy
ernor Plaisted of Maine to ill The part
of the uneXpired term of the late
senator FRYE, unless sir. Gardner
quickly repents of some of his pub
lished views as to American shipping.
The senator-designate declares that
he is opposed to subsidies. Il would
remove the tax on all raw material
entering into vessel construction in
any way" he adds, and thus give
American shipbulders an opportunity
To compete with the world. a chance
which they have not got now
Before Mr.. Gardner spoke q word
about ships he should have gore over
To Bath and interviewed the Sewalls.
They could have told him that their
first steel ship, the Dirigo, was built
Of British plates and beams imported
free Of duty. and that not only the
steel hut all other materials for the
construction of American vessels for
the foreign trade and for the trade
between our Atlantic and Pacific sea-
boards-about the only coastwise traf-
fie in which such large craft could
engagc-are on the free list, and have
been on the free list for more than 20
Years Mr. Obadiah Gardeners remedy
for relief of the merchant marine has
already been administered by the Re-
publicans If il has not sufiiced then
20 years of experience have proved
that free materials themselves are not
effective.
Mr.. Gardner also proclaimed L am
heartily in favor of government sup
plies being carried in American bot
toms. and my efforts in the Senate
will he toward that direction
Here again the Republicans have
got ahead of the new granger senator
from Maine. In 1904. under the lead
ership of Senator Frye law was
passed requiring that all supplies Oh
| the army and navy shall be transport
| ed in American vessels whenever sacn
vessels are to be had, and their rates
are not excessive and unreasonaole
Under this law the Sewall ships are
paid American rates for the carrying
| of navy coal from the Atlantic coast
| 10 the dockyards of the Pacific ocean.
| The Sewalls could have told the new
senator all about this if they had been
consulted. They could have told him
also that the law giving American
ships the preference in the carrying
| of government supplies was passed
against the solid, savage opposition OF
all the Democratic senators and repre-
sentatives.
There is just one hope for Senator
Gardner VIII he support the differ
| entail duty bill of his own party"
! That would revive Maine shipbuilding
and create American ships. unless the
Democrats had the folly to ruin the
bill with a free ship amendment.
What says the new senator? Is ne
| for differential duties or against them?

Open Letter to the Governor.

The Belfast Republican journal pub
fishes the following open letter to
Governor Plaisted:
Honored Sir-You may have noticed
that in the counties where the liquor
law has been enforced the large no"

law has been nullihed by the sheriff
and county attorney.

You have surrendered to the liquor
traffic your best weapon-the Sturgis

the law as it stands or in the eonsti-
tuition. you will md executive power
enough to cut off the lawless officers.
/ You noticed. too. in the recent cleo

tof those who voted yes did not do
SO because they are drinking men. or
Want to see an open saloon on every
corner, but because they were disgust

Your predecessor. Fernald. made a
fatal mistake which cost him his cleo

Little Things.

A goodbv kiss is little thing,
With your hand on the door 10 - 4,
Rnt il takes the venom out OF the sung
OF a thoughtless word or cruel flns
That Won made an hour ago.
kiss of greeting is sweet and rare
After the toll of the day, -
And it smooths the burrows ploWed by
The lines on the forhead you once called
In The years that have flown away.
IT'S little thing to say, You ,,,: are kind
But 1t sends a thrill through the heart
] find
For love is tender and love Is blind
AS we climb life's rugged height
We starve each other for loves caress;
We take but we do not give.
1T seems SO easy some soul TO bless,
Bat We dole the love grudgingly, less and
,s less,
TIL It's bitter and hard TO live.

Taft to Name Ma jority of Court

The naming of a successor To JUS
,ice Holm NJ. Harlan will have given
10 President Taft the appointment of
a majority Of the court. Probably
no man i'm America was so well fitted
for This great purpose. To some it
seems providential that William
Howard Taft himself a man of judi
cial instincts. trained for and expert
.need in the duties of the bench,
should arrive at place in the history
making Of this country where a ma
Jorlty Of the highest judicial body is
fa be selected
President Taft has already named
ffur d the nine members of the
United States supreme contribution
Of Tennessee, Hughes of New York
Lamar Of Georgia and Van Devanter
Of Wyoming. And President Taft has
also raised former Assocater Justice
white 10 the chief justieeship. This
record has only twice before been
equalied since the time of Washing
ton. President Jackson had the APP
polntrnent Of six justices; President
Lincoln also had the naming of ma
1ority az the court. including a chief
justice. But Lincoln's record was
aided By the overturnings of Civil
war. while Jacksons came from the
events Of eight years.

Marine engineers have examined
with great curiosity this week, the
Frahm anti-rolling tanks aboard the

device takes mp less space than was
expected and their operation in nc

Laws AGAINST Rotten Food.

Strange. isn't it. why some Of thess
writer's who are so deeply concerned
for Names welfare. DO not take up
other prohibition laws that do not
prohibit. New York finds tat ITS
law prohibiting the sale or possession
Of rotten and poisoned food products
does not prohibit Bakers continue to
violate the law and DEFY oiiseials. II
is even limited that officials are paid
to wear binders. thus creating hypo-
critics and encouraging hypocrisy aud
perjury
IT seems that these New York users
OF rotten and poisoned food stnffs
have neither deeency nor conscience.
They care NOT a pin what happens "a
consumers. 50 long as there is money
in the use Of such stun.
Therefore. why not say. as the rent
mics say OF Maine: Such laws ought
net to exist: they serve but to build
up hypocrisy and disrespect for law;
law chat cannot be enforced IS
worse than no law; when laws are
violated it brings down ridicuie upon
the state
The Springfield Union has this %
say about it:
Revolving as it may be to the pub
lie. the practice of cheap bakesiiops
| and restaurant proprietors OF using
spots" and "crots" instead of fresh
eggs has not been stopped by the
prosecutions brought about By Dr.
Wiley and his inspectors. In New
York last saturday sixteen complaints
against users of this rotten product
were brought by the department Oh
health, and in addition raid was
reported which resulted in the depart
ment asking the arrest of ten other
dealers on the charge of having IN
their possession eggs unfit for use as
food. One of the bakers under arrest
was fined $3.50 onlN short time ago
| for having in his possession two ana
one-half cans of rspot" eggs,
There is no crime much worse than
this poisoning of the people Deliber-
| ately to use rotten eggs in the pre-
| paration OF food stamps the offender
as wholly lacking in decency and con-
science. 1t is chiefly the poor that
partake of the poisoned products of
the cheap bakeries. and that fact,
while it doesn't make the crime any
greater, makes the criminals So much
more deserving of heavy punishment
The statement of the health depart
ment that one of the victims of the
last prosecution was heavily fined
but persisted in using rotten eggs
only goes to strengthen the conten-
ton of many advocates of stringen
food regulations that fine is not SUI
fcient punishment for such a crime
If the law made Imprisonment com
pulsory in such cases, and picked TN
heads of the law-breaking firms a
the victims. we doubt if the ptactic
of public poisoning would continue
very long. In addition to imprlson
ment the punishment Of compelling IN
poisoners to eat their ptomaine-ladel
nroducts should be insisted on. Thel
the punishment might be truly said Z
fit the crime.
