The Cost Of chean.r Living.

Below we give paragraph OF
Western horse sense. Without doubt
this editor remembers the days of
Wilson German tariff-crippled indus
tries, unemployed labor, hungry chill
dren, weeping wives and mothers.
How soon we forget and are ready to
gamble on results! Some say: I'VE
win try anything once but sorrow-
fully We recall that the present gen.
Grafton has tried a Democratic tariff
once. The following is from the
Hiawatha tkan) World
The Democrats and some Insurgents
argue that lower tariff would mean
cheaper living-and it might, but
where would any workman be bene-
fitted by cheaper living Il he was out
of employment with no money to buy
even necessities with? There is no
doubt that with low tariff duties the
cheaper labor of foreign countries car
supply our markets with things we
now make cheaper than we make their
with well paid labor. And when IL is
done our own workingmen will be GU
of work and will not be paying goot
prices for farmers products or TO
articles OF manufacture. Things viii
be cheaper all right. but where vii
the days work at good pay be found
There is no way for home wOrlmen /

Hon. Edwin c. Burleigh for United

4 short time ago, Hon. Edwin c.
Burleigh. Ex-Governor and II years
member of Congress from this district,
so long represented by James q.
Blake. announced his candidacy for
the United States Senate.
This announcement has impaired
new life and vigor into the Republican
party such as we have not seen III
recent years. Governor Burieigh is
the greatest asset the party has in
sight at the present time. His an
nouncement has been heralded by the
press Of the State generally as an
omen OF good. He is a clean, manly
man and no one ever had to make any
apologies for him. His four years as
Governor, his II years service as our
representative to Congress. and, above
all. ais pure. manly life, is known TO
al our people. Maine will honor itself
by sending him to the Senate

The Victim of "Economy."
(New York Evening MaiI)

fNeW / bTk GNtillils 4beiil'p
In talking with bank clerk ae..
auaintance not long age, the writer
learned something of the inside az
bank management. The bank wher9
our informant had been employed fer
many years. it seems. had passed
through two or three consultations.
With each consolidation our friends
position had been made less financial
II attractive while the amount of work
that was required in his particular de-
partment was necessarily much in
creased In this bank any change in
the salaries Of any one of the hundred
or more clerks must be approved and
recommended to the hank management
by the chief clerk, the tenure of whose
office largely depends upon his ability
to keep down bank operating expenses.
In the old days the president of this
bank received $4,000 per annum. To-
day the president draws $4,000 year
and has two or three vice presidents
to aid him. These vice presidents have
annual salaries ranging between $4,000
and $1,000. As Will be seen, the en1ol-
uments of the banks officers have
more than doubled with the increase in
the banking business transacted btE the
institution, while the clerks have been
obliged TO meet the increased opst of
living on salaries that are the same
as or less than they were some. years
ago.
This case is perhaps fairly typical
of modern banking methods One
clerk, with a wife and yearly stipend
of $3.50. not long ago had the misfor-
tune 10 require an operation for ap-
pendicitis. The bill of the operating
surgeon was for $3.50. And yet bank
ing positions are eagerly sought after.

Editorial Comment
Looks Like Burleieh.
Oath Independently

Former Congressman L. c. BuIleigh
Of the third District has announced his
candidacy for United States senator and
should the State elect a Republican
legislature this fall, as seems very prob
able at this time, Mr.. Burleigh would
stand an excellent chance of election
especially since the announcement by
Hon. William T. Cobb that he will not
become q candidate. Hon. Fred A.
Powers of Houlton is also a candidate
but IL appears in this section at least, as
if Mr.. Burleigh would be the favorite.
Others may enter the contest later
which might change the complexion of
things but at this writing it looks as il
Mr. Burleigh will be the choice of the
party at the primaries.

Glad We Found Out.

| Our down river contemporary. referring
to the fact, as stated by Mayor Pattan-
gail, that the increase IN WaterElil9
State tax amounted to $S00o last year de-
| clares that the increase was not Tor the
purpose of building or so much as replac-
ing a shingie ON one of Maine sheriShed
| institutions" That's one of the halt
truths that are sometimes worse than
statements of the kind to which Mr..
| Roosevelt applies the shorter and uglier
word. The increase in the state tax last
year was made necessary in order TO pay
| the bills of the Fernald regime, which
did great deal of "shingling Water
vile Sentinel.
Oh-b-h, ye-es-what relief! We
had been frequently informed by Mr.
Stevens that it was Economy" who
paid those5 bills which Governor
Fernald had expected the Legislature
that the Legislature made provision
| for the Singing and other inn
lprovements that had become necessary
land Gov. Fernald made. II would have
been embarrassing TO the people of
Maine had Mr.. Lamont \. Stevens,
Governor Plaisted. Attorney General
Pattangall. and Secretary of State
Davis paid these bills out of their own
pockets. as We have been invited to
believe.
And after such personal expenses as
they have been forced into, at that.
1t isn't every State auditor that has
10 skimp and save and beg to pay for
a new state House; it isn't every
Governor that has To scare up the
price of long far out-of- State trips:
it isn't every secretary of State that
is forced to go to the expense of
trip to Chicago and to other cities for
conference with the brewers and
liquor interests; it isn't every attor-
ney- general that has to hire a city
run that he may devote himself TO his
State office and do his share in rescu-
ing the commonwealth from bank
ruptcy.
And it isn't every administration
that has to finance such an expensive
campaign against the law as that
waged in the last 13 unlucky months.
Indeed we are glad TO know that it
is the Legislature that is providing
the funds for the States expenses.
That the Legislature provided gener-
ously for this years economy" is
shown in the fact that the total re-
eeipts fer the year 1909 were 1885,
S5oS3 In 1910 they were increased TO
$4,000. 565.O4. In 1911 the receipts
went up to S4,SS4e54.57.
Thus with the income last year APP
proximately s1.50o.ooe more than that
of two years ago; with no permanent
construction or improvements made in
1911, and our institutions barely kept
alive. (some of them saved only by
popular subseription) what would you
expect the administration to do with
this surplus income but to pay the
States honest debts2
In 1893 the State tax rate was three
mills. In 1909 the rate was three
mills. In 1910 the rate was five mills.
In 1911 the rate was six mills. Thus
Fernald did a lot of "shingling" on six
mills for two years, while Plaisted is
giving a demonstration of economy"
by doing nothing on eleven mills for
two years.
This year the tax rate drops TO four
mills and ctiIl Dpth1uu, IN ba done ex-
