Gardner's Record.

Iaastnort CitizenO

IS
On the State legislature soon to be
elected will deyolve the important
duty of choosing n United States
senator of succeed Obadiah Gardner.
Gardner is an active candidate for
reelection, and it behooVes every
citizen of Passport VINO has at heart
the welfare of his city and State to
consider thoroughly the past record
of this man, and the policies he be-
lieves in. by which we may judge his
future conduct.
If he has stood for anything in
particular as a senator, it has been
his thoroughaing opposition to the
parcels post. n measure which has,
and should have, the whole hearted
support of the vast majority of Maine
people With cool disregard for the
wishes of his constituents, he gave
the opponents of the parcels-post
idea some very material assistance by
putting forward and noisily advoeat-
ing a fantastic scheme which he called
the .'postal-express, the execution of
which would have entailed an initial
expense of forty millions of dollars,
and a vast increase in the machinery
and running expenses of the govern
ment.
He voted against the Sherwood
pension bill. thus putting himself on
record against the generous. policy
of the government toward the old
soldiers.
Personally.s by his uncomfortable
desire to talk, and to occupy the CEN
ter of the stage. neither of which he
has succeeded in doing well, he has
brought ridicule upon himself and dis
credit to the State.
What concerns us in PASSPORT most.
however, is his attitude on the tariff.
He fayors. as do the leaders of his
party, a general tariff reduction.
Now if Eastport has any one business
on which, more than on any other,
its present prosperity rests, and its
future depends, that business is the
packing of sardines and the handing
of fish in general. Those industries
especially in the face. of well-capltal-
lied Canadian competition with which
they are now threatened in our near
neighhorhood, depends upon the tarlft
for their very existence. Remove the
tariff, and you strike at the prosperity
OF Isastport a blow from which sne
could hardly recover. Strike at the
prosperity of the city and you strike
at Your own. Both would be endan-
eered by the reelection of Gardner
to the United States Senate. One free
trader in that body from Maine is
enough.
Remember these things: Gardner
| is an opponent of the parcels-post;
voted against the Sherwood pension
bill: is personally not credit to the
state, and if elected will vote against
| the tariff which protects our indus
tries. on which our prosperity depends.
The Democratic nominee from this
city to the Legislature will vote for
Gardner for the Senate. vote for
him is vote for Gardner Can you,
Mr.. PASSPORT voter, afford to east
your vote that way.

tnusiasm regarding his own produce
is to be expected from any seller, ano
this enthusiasm may easily breed eX
ageration and, in fact, tends to ex
cuse a moderate tincture of it; es
pecially as the buyer, unques' ion
ably, expects it and makes allowance
for it. And experienced buyers are
not often fooled badly by the lying
advertiser. The internal evidence
is nearly always present and he is con
victed by his own testimony. But
the inexperienced buyer is not so apt
to read between the lines and he is
the one who comes to grief.
If buyers were more reasonable in
their expectations there would be
much less Misrepresentation on the
part of sellers. Not that two wrongs
make a right; but, just as most con-
fidence games are based on the
victims desire to get some 'easy
money! so most Misrepresentation
on the part of poultry sellers are
caused by the buyers effort to get
more than the value of his money.
Many people who misrepresent the
facts in their advertisements and
their letters to purchasers excuse
themselves on the ground that they
have no wish to defraud the buyer of
a cent but that it is necessary to ex-
aggerate or distort facts to avoid get
ting the worst of the transaction
themselves. But this is dangerous
ground to tread upon. A man might
deceive himself at first by the plausi-
bility of this excuse but it is a
certainty that no man could pursue
such methods long without becoming
a crook, or without defrauding in
nocent people who we're dealing with
him in good faith. We must all admit
that is pretty hard lines to sit back
and watch a competitor getting away
with the business by misrepresenta-
lions which our inside knowledge of
the business enables us to detect at
a glance; but there isn't much to do
except to grin and bear it and wait
for the inevitable explosion that will
clear the scene of Mr.. Man and his
dishonest methods.
I started out to give little advice
on the the subject of securing breed :
ing birds. To the buyer I'll say first
of all: Don't try to get them too
cheaply. The chances are that you
won do it, but, instead, will get less
than your moneys worth from some
cheap skate breeder. The great basic
law of trade is that things generally
fetch what they are worth, don't
count on being an exception to the
rule, but be satisfied with getting all
that is coming to you. To be sure of
this you must deal with breeder of
repute and men of that kind do not
find it necessary to sell anything "dirt
cheap" but stock purchased from
such men will be found cheap in the
long run.
The average poultry raiser, even
