content and warning to greed. 1t is
only one of the many now going to
newspapers and public men of the
country. Such pertinent presentations
of fact are heard from every part of
the country. Is there not duty before
Congress, to look carefully into sueh
conditions and deal with them in a
manner satisfactory to the great ma
jority2 The letter follows:
Sir-Wilf you kindly explain how it is
that the price of hard coal in this city
is 1925 for chestnut size, when at
Greenfield, only twenty-one miles from
here, the same is sold for S. a ton, and
at Shelbyviile' IS to $3.50 a ton? When
soft coal was selling here at s4.25 a

If these outside towns can sell eoal
SO much cheaper WITH limited railroad
Facilities. what Is the reason 1t eosts
more here? Several Years ago, when
the question of buiiding the Indiana
Southern railroad was agitated, the
main argument advanced was, that II
would tap the southwest coal fields in
this state and put coal at our doors
much cheaper than we We're getting it.
Today, Indiana coal is 1915, the high
est price ever quoted, and winter not
even felt yet. All signs point to the
same coal going to SHE before spring
And yet some people will insist that
there is no coal combine here.

State there are still questions which
need investigation. Changes in compost
ton go on from the time the potato :
harvested slowly at first and quite
rapidly as the spring months come on.
The starch yield from potatoes in the
spring is very much less than in the
fall. Potatoes weakened by warmth and
sprouting give more feeble plants. What
of the effect Of the warm days that fire.
quently follow digging upon the keep
ing qualities of the potato for food and
for seed? Could potatoes put into cold
storage at time of digging be kept dor
mant and successfully compete with new
potatoes that come forward in July and
later from southern points? What about
the effect of ordinary car shipping in

potatoes as compared with cold

cars be used in forwarding potatoes m
early fail and after April? If so, how
would cellar and cold stored potatoes
compare? There is large complaint
Avery season from the South relative to
the vitality of seed stock. Does this
lessened vitality begin with the warmth
in the fall? Would cold stored potatoes
make stronger and more productive
plants both at home and in the South?
What about the effect of temperatures
and moisture upon the development of
disease in harvested stock? These and
kindred questions have direct bearing
OH this increasingly important crop.
In this connection the question of
handling the apples grown at Highmoor
Farm is a secondary but by no means
unimportant matter. Practically all of
the varieties there grown. are late apples
which are not ready for use or market
until spring. In some years, as 1911, the
buyers We're willing to offer a price that
seemed reasonable. In 1912 the buyers,
who of course are only spectators as
the apples have no actual market at
that time, were not willing to offer a
price that the Station management felt
they could, as trustees of state property
accept The result is that the apples
were sput into cold storage in Boston

Truly Maine has had it's share OF
politics in the past two years. The
people deserve rest. Suppose we
take it and see what the men we have
elected will do?
President Wilson becomes President
by the largest vote in the Electoral
College ever recorded, yet he is there
by authorization of a minority of the
people. The combined vote of Taft
and Roosevelt, the protection nomi-
nees, shows that the majority of the
people of this country remain firm in
their support of the principle. VIII
this fact have its justified restraining
influence upon the new executive?
VIII he persist in the disruption of a
wise and proven policy of the nation
to crafty his party's demand for the
resurrection of it's ancient fetish? An
analysis of Tuesdays vote ought to
counsel moderation in the tariff
slashing which Democracy has threat
ened and industry and labor have
feared.
II is the Democratic kettle o fish,
however, and the sooner they justify
the time proven proverbialism, the
sooner the people will turn them out
for a reunited protection party of
clarified principles and chastened
ranks. The party that has set
America far in the lead in the file oil
great nations, will not long allow its
selfishness and personal differences
and desires to interfere with its
world wide influence.
Woodrow Wilson advances from dis
tingliished scholar and American eitI-
zen to the Presidency of all the peo-
pie. AS such he will have our support
and, out spoken approval in all his
worthy interpretations of progress ana
good government. We hope that ms
convictions are right and that he Will
have the courage of them, to restrain
his radical party associates from
bringing any hesitation upon COM

consequent disaster upon labor and the

Socialists Claim Rights.

Editor kenneDec journal;
Sllowhegan Socialists are not seeking
to use the Municipal Building for Pc
liticai purposes on Sunday. a wrong
impression seems to have gained circu
lation, and ] will thank you 10 assist
me IN correcting it. The principal work
of the Socialist organization is educa-
ton. Through literature and lectures,
we seek to give the voters a practical
working knowledge of the sciences OF
government. economies and sociology.
Gus scanty funds make an extended
system OF cooperation necessary. This
involves a meeting Of the workers at
frequent intervals, and we have been
holding such in the selectmen Office
occasionally ON sunday for more than
a year. our present controversy with
the selectmen arises from a DENIAL
of what we have hitherto considered
our rights. The Municipal Building is
being paid for by taxation. mostly on
real estate. Every intelligent man
knows and every honest man admits
that a tax on real-estate is paid by tue
man who occupies 1t. Therefore IL
follows that the workingmen of Show
hogan will have earned their full share
OF the money that finally goes into the
Municipal Building. That being the
case we must have some rights TO use
it. Article l, Section Is of the State
Constitution says: THE people have
right AT ALL TIMES in an orderly
and peaceable manner to assemble TO
consult upon the common good. II
therefore we have the right to meet
in the Municipal building at all, we
have the right to do 50 on SUNDAY.
otherwise some two hundred men #ho
arc employed nights, must be denied
their constitutional rights We are
willing to eoncede any reasonable re-.
strietions that the selectmen may see
fit 20 impose. but we are entitled to
square deal. and we expect the voters
TO see that get it rext Saturday,

And straightaway new plans begin
