Maine Gossip

Maine will once more sit mp, to read
Teddy's party call, then settle down
to rid itself of more intimate political
dangers.
A Lewiston Journal reporter pens
the following instructive pictures; 1t
was an early morning when n Lewiston
man, coming down town, saw sad
sight.-A man, SO dead drunk as To be
almost helpless had evidently been
put out OF n saloon. and helper
steadied him to the fence in his yard.
The man could not keep up with that
support, but managed, by crawling, to
make his door steps There. with ell
bows on the steps, he managed as a
seal would work with his flippers to
reach the top steps. and, pushing the
door open, dragged himself inside. AS
usual no policeman was in sight.
In speaking of Mount Desert we nat
urally associate it with Bar Harbor,
without stopping to think that the
latter is but one community while the
island covers a space of 100 square
miles. II is the largest island on the
coast of New England and also the
most picturesque. Chief among the
elevations of the land is Green noun
tain. which towers to a height of 1890
feet above the sea which washes its
base. and around whose sides are deep
gorges and caves whose deep recesses
are never penetrated by the rays of
the sun. This is one spot on the coast
Of Maine where Champlain got the
better of Sieur de Monts. While the
latter was exploring his newly found
possessions on the shores of Passama-
quoddy, the other French adventurer
was admiring the beauties and en-
virenments of Frenchman's bay. Es-
pecially was his attention directed to
one great island where the mountains
came down to the sea, and to this dis
covery he gave the name of LfIsle des
time from the present back to the year
1904, and the great cragS and bleak
ocean buttes looked far different to the
adventurous Frenchman than to the
modern Croesus who builds his mag
nificent summer home on their beetling
submits. Little did Champlain dread
what the future had in store, nor could
he with prophetic ken foresee the
changes that time would bring. 1t was
an age of adventure, hardships and
privatien. and there was no eye for
beauty nor conception of the age of
pleasure which was yet to be.

WILSON TO START CAMPAIGN
Announces He Will Make Speech at Granger Picnic Within
 Two Weeks.

Seagirt, N. J., Aug. 15.-Pennsyl- vania will be the state in which Gov. Wilson will open his campaign for the presidency, according to present plans. He accepted an invitation to speak at the Granger picnic within two weeks. The Governor is undecided as yet as to the method of his cam. paign. The National Campaign Com mittee in New York is working on a plan of speech-making for the nom- inee
 Wilson expected to be able to an nounce whether he would attend the ceremonies at Indianapolis, Aug. 20, notifying Gov Marshall of his nom- ination for the vice-presidency.
 Wilson, it is said. does not want to make a speech, not wishing in any way to detract from the attention and prominence which he thinks due the presidential candidate at these exercises.

 COTTON TARRIFF BILL

Washington, Aug. 14.-By a vote of bill revising the cotton schedule. Only one change of importance was made in the measure-an amendment by Senator Gronna of North Dakota, re- pealing all of the Canadian reciprocity to wood pulp and print paper.
 The La Toilette compromise cotton bill was rejected. La Toilette de. clared that his measure was almost identical with that offered in the house He said that the Democratic measure was the same as the bill vetoed year ago.

TAFTC0NDEMNsCONGREss
VEToES STEEL BILL EXPECTED
 BY CONGRESS.
Says Measure Provides for Rveneue Only, Not Considering Pro.
 tection of Industries.

Washington, Aug. 15.-President Taft vetoed the steel bill.
 In message to congress the presi- dent said he disapproved the measure because 1t provided for revenue only and took no account of protection for American industries. He condemned the ways and means committee for re- fusing public hearings on the bill. His veto was expected
 Tatt gave as another reason for his veto that the bill affected not only the iron and steel industry, but 59 allied industries, which, he said, were worth separate classification.
 Taft wrote he was not prepared to say there were no items in the steel schedule which ought not to be re- duced, but he pointed out that it's ad valorem rate was an apparent reduc- tion of 15 per cent from the duties of the Wilson law.
 The president has said he also would veto the legislative, executive and judicial appropriation bill carry ing riders to abolish the commerce court, and limit enure of office of civil service employees.
 By doing so the president would hold up his own salary, that of every member of congress and every em- ploye of the United States courts. Speculation of the possibilities of passing the bill over his veto are be- ing discussed and leaders are canvass ing the house and senate

Plans to Improve University

Little Rock, Aug. 15.-Just at the present time there is no sub- ject of greater interest to the people of Arkansas than. the plans under way for the better ment of the University of Arkan> sas. The institution has suffered sorely from the student strike and other troubles, but devoted faculty is doing everything in it's power to reduce the injury to a minimum. Per f e ct harmony exists among the officers and teachers, and they have the CO., operation of all patriotic citizens.
 "The religious and moral in. fiuences at the University are positively good" says Acting President J. H. Reynolds. There is a Y. M. c. A. secretary on a salary, who devotes all his time to Christian work among the students. He is a strong, scholar ly, Christian man, being a gradu- ate from Yale. For the Y. w. C.. A. there is also a salaried secre- tary, a woman who devotes all of her time to Christian work. There are but few universities in the South that spend so much for such work. In addition to this, the professors are practi- cally all Christian gentlemen, most of them being active work CTS in their respective churches. For instance, in the Baptist church Dr. Brough and Prof. Briscoe teach Baraca classes of University students; Prof. Math- CT, a normal class; and Mrs. Bris- COG class of University girls. In the Methodist Church one professor serves as superintend- ent of the Sunday School; Prof. Drake instructs a class of 100 University boys; Prof. Thomas has a class of men; and Prof. Jones a class of University women. Prof Shannon has a large class in the Sunday school of the Presbyterian church. In fact, the most active workers in the several churches of the city are University professors. More over, many of the professors teach Bible classes among the students in connection with the Y. NJ. c. A. and Y. W. c. A.
 Indeed, after looking over the positive Christian work being done here for the students, the president of one of the lead ing denominational colleges of the state recently said that he knew of no church college where so much is being done and where the influences are more positive. Of course everybody knows that Fayetteville is a dry" town and that the law is enforced"

AUTO SHOW A TEXTBOOK
Educational Value to Dealers
of Paramount Importance.
LESSONS IN COMPETITION
Agents Afforded an Opportunity
to Learn the Merits of
Cars They Sell.

Undoubtedly the most important func-
ton Of the annual auto show is fits cdu-
cational value 10 the dealers" stated IA
X. Radford, general manager OF the Car
tercar Company. OF Pontiac Mich,
when discussing the subject yesterday.
of course. large number OF cars are
sold" continued Mr. Radford. but these
sales are valuable only as a help toward
paying the expense OF the exhibit. Tie
big thing that we must accomplish with
our exhibit is TO give the dealer enthu-
siasm and selling points for his work IN
the local territory.
THE dealer comes 10 the show and
there sees all the cars side by side He
sees his car where he has a chance 10
compare Fl with the cars with which he
must compete. and ne learns Just where
it is better Al no other time has he such
an opportunity for getting first hand in
formation on the whole situation.
And the prospective agent Is there.
too" refectively remarked Mr.. RadforI
He has opportunity likewise for select
ing a car that Will please the people in
his territory. Long ago the motor car
agents learned the foOlishness OF grab
bling the first agency proposition that
presented itself. 10 was expensive learn
ing, and now they consider carefully and
the show offers them a view OF the en-
tire field, making II certainty that The
car they choose 10 sell is just what they
wants.
The auto show is Of inestimable
value TO the motor car industry. and the
manufacturer must exhibit II he wishes
TO help his agents as he should. But II
ne sends his cars there expecting 20
accomplish nothing but the few sales he
may make he Is only throwing the money
into the fire, and he had by far better
keep his cars at the factory. The shows
are for the dealer-they are, in fact, his
training school. There he sees the gem
eral sales manager and the engineers
and learns from them first hand just why
they designed the cars in such and such
a way, why they made this new improve
ment. and so on. In this manner the
dealer gets the greatest amount OF en-
thusiasm and faith in the car he sells.
Now, the shows are more valuable to
us than to most manufacturers. / be-
lieve because with our friction trans
mission 1t is easier to make the new agent
enthusiastic about the Cartercsr when he
sees il beside the other types of cars.
And just for this reason we believe that
the shows are more valuable TO most any
distribution and a much greater distribu-
other.
I'm my opinion" concluded Mr.. Rad
ford. "the auto shows are largely re-
sponsible for the great advance which the
Industry has made in the last few years.
The shows have made it possible for the
manufacturers TO secure much greater
ton and a much more valuable co-opera-
ton with their agents than would other
wise have been possible.
