aWiIson's Tariff IDEAS"

Republican papers use up good
deal of their space in frultleds
effort to make it appear that Cover
nor Wilson has no clearly defined
ideas on the tariff question. They
cite an expression here and another
there and purport to wonder whether
he is really free trader or pro-
tectionist They effect to believe that
in the event of his election to the
Presidency he would not know what
to do with the tariff after all.
Now there is no real reason for
this. The attitude of Mr.. Wilson
respecting the tariff is clear enough
to those who will take the trouble to
inform themselves" -Biddeford Rec
ord.
The attitude of Gov. Wilson GER
tainly is as clear as-weil, as mud,
If he has any fixed ideas on the tariff
question not manifested in the amaz-
ing errors he has made in his public
addresses, he is carefully guarding
them for fear of alternating the vote OF
some one who does not agree with
him.
1t is painfully evident. even to his
loyal followers and erstwhile admirers,
that however much Woodrow Wilson
the scholar may know of other ques-
tions, his ignorance of tariff affairs
would fill five-foot shelf. Not only
has he failed absolutely to acquire the
basis for logical reasoning for or
against protective principles, but
shows that he is wholly unfamiliar
with the simple matter of existing
schedules.
But after all it is not so much what
trade and industrial necessities, as it
is the radical determination pro-
claimed by the Baltimore convention.
that the country fears. AS the tool
of Democratic leaders from the South
who have sworn to move the mills of
New England to the southern cotton
fields, Woodrow Wilson is menace
to the American people.
But leaving that for fuller discus
sion elsewhere, and referring to DR..
Wilson's personal views, we would
call attention to specific incidents of
inexcusable ignorance in public
manor deliberate intent to de-
ceive his hearers. In either case we
leave it to our readers to decide for
themselvs if he is a safe man to en-
trust with the grave responsibilities
of the American presidency.
In his tariff speech at Syracuse n.
Y, week ago, DIR. Wilson declared:
1.-The price of meat has gone
up 80 and 40 per cent. in ten
years in this country, and the
price of American meat has not
gone up a fraction of a cent per
pound in London markets"
AS evidence to the contrary we offer
statistics furnished by John L. Crit
don; by the London Daily Mail of
| August is last, and by the Four
teenth Abstract of Labor Statistics of
the United Kingdom. issued by the
| British Board of Trade.
| The Board OF Trade compilation
| presents a table showing the per-
| centage variations of retail prices of
food in London for 10 years, the in
tervening year of 1900 being taken as
the unit basis. Under the heading of
Beef this table shows the following:

Loss of Appetite.

Is commonly gradual; one dish after
another is set aside till few remain.
These are not eaten with much relish,
and are often so light as not to afford
much nourishment
Loss of appetite is one of the first
indications that the system is running
down. and there is nothing else so
good for it as Hoods Sarsaparilla-the
best of all tonics.
Accept no substitute for Hoods
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1912-09-30

In other words there was an adj
vance of 1875 per cent. in the price of
beef in London for the ten years
ending with 1910, and an increase Of
21.3 per cent. since 1896. In the face
Of this, how can Dr. Wilson justify his
assertion that there has been no ad-
vance in London prices of meat?
Mutton, pork and bacon showed
similar advances. Thus mutton in
creased 14.6 per cent, pork, 11.2 per
cent. and bacon, COS per cent.

BY hard experience we learn,
Whatever our position,
And pay, whichever way we turn,
Right dearly for tuition.
Before we walk We have to creep;
We rise with many tumble
Before we learn life's road to keep
How often must We stumble!
Ere we can learn to think we grope
Through much fantastic folly.
Our smiles of friendship and of hope
Are earned through melancholy.

For Flirts and Washers.
New York TelegramO

NANVW T
While the spectacle of a young man
of wealth, family and education serv-
ing ten days on BlackwelFs Island, in
a gray prison suit, is not an attrac
tive picture, it is one that should be
pondered. The prisoners offence was
insulting a girl who happened to be
out iegitimately at two o'clock in the
morning. The fearlessness of the
sentencing magistrate, Mr.. Krotel, is
to be commended, and the police
should be especially charged TO see
that Women are not annoyed by flirts
and Washers no matter what their
standing or connections.

The death, at Columbus, Ohio,
Thursday night, from lung fever, of
the famous dapple gray PAGER, The
Eel, will be a matter of regret to
many Maine people who saw him win
the free-for-all race for purse of
$1,000, Aug. 8, at the Hanks race meet
in Augusta, and which race produced
the four fastest heats ever paced in
Maine over a half-mile track. The
hest time in the race was 2.10, in the
first heat. The Eel was by Gambolier,
2.221k, out of Belle Bridewell. by John
j., and was specially noted for his
ice raising qualities. Two seasons ago
he was king of the ice on the Cana
dian tracks. His mark was 2.02A,
made in 1908, and on the following
year he turned in a notable perform
auce, when he paced mile in 2.o41s
on a half-mile track. The horse was
to have started in the free-for-all
class of the Grand Circuit at Column
bus, Ohio.

The first warning or the fall and
winter campaign against the brown
tail moth has been sounded by the
Camden Herald, which says: 1T is
none to early to begin to look for the
brown-tail moth nests on your trees
While the caterpilIars did not do as
much damage this year as We all
feared, yet there were more moths in
flight this summer than ever before
This great flight of the moths means
many nests left in their pathway, and
if these are not taken care of before
spring, it means trouble next YEAR
One property holder In town tells us
that he examined his trees last week
and found many nests. He had them
all removed. but he realizes that on
a neighbours property nothing has
been done. 1t is poor encouragement
for one property holder to do this il
all do not join in the work. One badly
infected property can make trouble
for the whole town. The brown-tails
are here and must be fought con-
stantly."
