THURSDAY, MARCH 7
The, Wonderful Word busters

In the last congressional campaign
our esteemed friend, the Waterville
Morning Sentinel gave much space
editorially to the fact that the then
Congressman Burleigh was no speech
maker, and it sought to show there
by that he was totally unfit to repre-
sent the good State of Maine in the
national halls of legislation. By
means of such editorial nonsense the
leaders of the Democracy hoped to ei-
vert public attention from any rehear-
sal of what Mr. Burleigh had accom-
plished during his congressional car
eer, and direct it toward an obvious
trait of modesty in his character.
Whether or not such chickering's had
weight with the voters of this dis
trict it is impossible to determine,
but Mr.. Burleigh was defeated and
Hon Samuel Gould, of Skowhegan,
was elected to one of the highest posi-
tons in the gift of the American peo-
ple. And up in the second district,
Hon Daniel McGillicuddy triumphed
over Congressman John P. Swasey.
But are the Sentinel and the weary
leaders of Democracy now satisfied
with the garrulity of their distinguish
ed representatives Has Congressman
Gould talked so yoluminously that the
government printing office force have
been overworked? We have read
every last line of the Congressional
Record-that rare journal of unspoken
speeches-and we have yet to discover
a single monosyllable uttered by this
supposedly garrulous leader of The
People! And the suspense is awful!
Meantime the argument used against
Mr. Burleigh is being knocked into
the littlest bits of smithereens by the
Ominous Silence of the picked favor
lite of Very Talkative Party. Will
not some kind friend of the Congress
man get word to him that some sort
of an harrangue is due? Whatever
will the good man do for advertising
matter among his constituents when
the wheel of fate again gets revolved
to a standstill,
But of McGillicuddy, it is different.
In him centers the hopes of all Names
Democracy, that is, hopes of a talk
alive representative. To be sure

MORE HELP
FOR COLLEGES
Lever Bill Provides Further
Endowment fer Acrl-
cultural Schools
WOULD INCREASE FARM
OUTPUT so PER CENT.

WASHINGTON. d. c., Jan. ia
bill of great import will be introduced
IN the House of Representatives on
Wednesday, January 18th, by Repre-
sentative Lever, of South Carolina, and
on the same day it will be presented in
the Senate jointly by Senators Hoke
Smith and Page. The bill provides
for the further endowment and sup
port of Agricultural College to enable
them to assist in getting into practice
the best methods of agriculture evolv-
cd by operation Of the plan of es-
tablishing and maintaining Agricul-
tural Colleges and Experiment Sta
tions in the various states.
This measure is the joint work of
the National Soil Fertility League, the
Executive Committee of the Colleges
of Agriculture and the statesmen
above named It is in line with the
Presidents recommendation in his adj
dress at the National Conservation
Congress at Kansas City, Mo-, Sep
tember 25th. 1911. it has the support
of the House leaders of both parties
and It may be regarded as an omni-
partisan measure.
According to the general plan out OF
which this measure springs, it is pro
posed that the procedure shall consist
of getting into general practice the
best methods known of scientific agri-
culture by employing trained agricul-
turists. or practical farm demonstrate
ors, skilled in the most approved meth
ods of farm practice, to take to the
farmer on his own farm the informa-
ton or knowledge that VIII enable
him, the latter, to interpret and adapt
to his local conditions the best meth
ods of farming. In plain terms, II
will as rapidly as possible, place a
trained. practical man, selected and
directed by the respective State Agri-
cultural Colleges, permanently In each
agricultural county of the United
States, and enables the farmer to be-
came master of his calling aided by
the best services the country can fur
nish, and supported by Federal and
State funds.
According to the provisions OF the
bill there will be an appropriation be-
ginning at the rate of less than one
cent per capita and will approximate
three cents per capita by the time the
annual appropriation shall have in
creased from $500.O0O per year, the
starting point, to the little over three
million dollars. when it reaches the
maximum. To have a clear idea OF
the distribution Of these funds it mus
he understood that each state receiv.
fpg its share of the fund must appro.
pirate an equal amount for this pur'
pose.
Most authorities have expressed the
belief that the operation of this plar
will in a few years increase the farm
output at least so per cent. Tha'
means an increase of wealth pei
capita of about $50 per annum, ano
it adds to the country's assets foul
and one-half billions in national re.
sources. The average acreage OF
Europe gives from two to three times
the Yield of the American farms, not
withstanding their soil has been pro
ducing for centuries more than th'
lands have been cropped here.
