SOLICITOR M'CABE SAVED
Attempt to Abolish His Office
Fails.
From Tho Tribune Bureau.


Washington. March l.--Another echo Of
the Wiley -McCabc controversy I'm the De-
partment OF Agriculture was heard in the

strike from the agricultural appropriation

tended to make the solicitor a permanent
official in ,he department and that the
original application for legal work" had
not contemplated similar appropriations
from year to year. After the Florida men,
ber had made a long legal argument re-

overruled his point OF order and the Of

with Mr. Clark In the attempt To oust the
solicitor and abolish his office. Mr.. Cullop
asserted that the Office of solicitor had
outgrown It's usefulness" and agreed with
Mr. Clark that the job had never been
created by express action Of Congress.
Representative Lamb, the Virginia Demo-
crat in charge Of the bill, and Represent
aiiye Lever took the opposite view, and in
sisted on the appropriation. Mr.. Lamb paid
tribute to Solicitor McCabe as faithful
official" and Representative Mann. the
minority leader, declared that it was the
intent of Congress to maintain permanently

culture when It was established In an ap-
propriation several years ago.

THE LIBERTY RAILROAD.

10 THE EDITOR OF The JOURNAL. We
hear great deal at present said about
connecting Augusta, Rockland, Camden
and Belfast, and I would say that the
best route is from Augusta through
Branch Mills, Liberty village, South
MontviIle and Searsmont village on the
stage road to Bickford's corner. Then
to branch southwark through East Sears
mont and Center Lincolnville to Camden.
and eastward to Bickford's corner,
through Center Belmont to Belfast. 1t
is 30 miles from Augusta to Bickford' s
corner, 10 miles from there to Camden,
8 miles from Bickford's corner to Bel
fast. This, you see, will connect Cam
den and Belfast with Is miles, and with
about so miles of road will connect the
cities of Augusta and Belfast and Rock
land and open up business through all the
intervening towns. This, in my opinion,
is the largest prospect for travel and
traffic for small investment that there
is in this part of the State.
Yours in business,

HARVESTING THE TIDES.

To THE EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL. The
Journal printed an article January 4th
entitled Harvesting the Tides, Tin which
there was nothing said about the machine
that should pump the water. The idea
was to pump water into a reservoir, then
use it through water wheel. Now this
machine may be any kind of vessel
that will rise and fall with the tide. This
perpendicular rise and fall is the motion
l propose to use. To illustrate: A pine
log two feet through and twelve feet
long, anchored on the surface of the tide
like bell buoy, would lift the piston rod
of large pump and when dropping back
would drive the piston back of large
hydraulic ram. Hence twenty logs shack
led together would drive twenty streams,
the size of which would depend some
what upon how high they were driven.
You will find along the coast lots of
places where the water seems to have
nothing else to do but to lift up what
ever may be on its surface and then let
1t drop. The beauty of this power is
that there are so many places where it
can be used that it cannot be monopolized.
and it will be so cheap that everybody
can afford to use it.

OUR NEW ELEC TON LAWS
Adequately Explained by Lewis A. Burleigh
of Augusta.

The widespread demand for an ade-
quate explanation Of our new election
laws has been admirably met in the 60
page compilation of Lewis A. Burleigh
of Augusta, member of the Kennebec
Bar, in his work entitled IAN Analysis
and Interpretation of the Primary Elec-
ton Law, Corrupt Practices Act, and
Federal Election Law" The work is
thoroughly up-to-date, as it also includes
an abstract of the new ballot law passed
at the special session of the Legislature
on March %, 1912. In four page leaf
let accompanying and forming part of
the compilation is complete and thorough
explanation of the subject of enrolment
OF political parties, in connection with
primary elections. The compilation itself
consists of clear and concise prelimi-
nary explanation of the primary election
law and its operation, followed by 104
logically arranged paragraphs of ex-
PLANTATION and discussion Of this law, and
of the Corrupt Practices Act and the
Federal Act relative to publicity of cam
paign contributions. The text of the
three acts is then given in full, and a
thorough and very comprehensive index
is added. The typographical arrange
ment and appearance is most excellent.
The work shows careful ana accurate
analysis at every step and will prove of
great value to attorneys, committee men
and the general public, who desire to as
certain their rights and liabilities under
the new laws.

CAUSE: AND CURE
OF DYSPEPSIA e
Thin Blood to Blame in Many
Cases and a Blood Tonic the
Right Remely.

There is the most intimate relation
between the condition Of the blood and
the activity OF the stomach. The blood
depends upon the stomach for large
part of its nourishment; while every
act OF digestion, from the time tie food
enters the stomach until it is digested
and assi,nilated by the blood, needs
plenty Of pure, well-oXidi=ed blood.
The stomach works only according to
the quality Of TIE blood.
TIE most common cause Of indiges-
tion is ans2nlia, Or lack OF blood. In
deed there is not si.icle disturbance of
the health of the body nor any form of
exhaustion CT lowered. vitality, that
may not Lead to stomach trouble. Dis
ordered blood is the one common cause
Of indigestion. Thin, impure blood
weakens the muscles of the stomach

which furnish the digestive fluids.

by the Israelites in the wilderness, and
the rod which Moses used to divide the

School Reports

Last June when school closed we
published an editorial on the sub
jebt "Why Did The Child Fail?''
Complaints Of parents and teach
ers that we have been hearing
the past week have called it to mind
and we believe some of it repeated
here may answer the question as to
why some of the months marks that
the children had to show last week
were so unsatisfactory all around. We
quote from report of the work of
a committee which investigated con-
ditions affecting delinquent pupils in
the public schools of Minneapolis last
year.
The Committee found in many fam
lilies of delinquents serious Mck of
real home life In many cases the
family had the habit of breakfasting
in installments. while even at dinner
the circle was more or less broken.
In many cases one or both of the pa
rents were away from home frequent
ly of an evening. 1t found that the
young folks themselves spent rather
more evenings in the pursuit of amuse-
ments and pleasure outside of the
home than in it. Moving pictures and
theaters and social gatherings filled
the children's evenings, so that they
had little leisure or inclination for
reading or study. 1t found that the
good old custom of reading aloud in
the family circle and discussing af-
fairs at the table or around the eve
ming lamp, had fallen into desuetude.
The great failing that characterizes
American home life is the frenzied
pursuit of fun" or diversion.
There is no time for reading OF
good books, no time for the sort OF
study of lessons that seeks to get the
good from them rather than the where
withal to pass examinations. Fun
is necessary concomitant of heal.
thy life 1t sweetens and stimulates.
! But we are in dire danger of taking
too much of it's sugar, too much OF
it's stimulant for the good of our moral
digestions.
Let us then. when children fail in
their school work look earnestly into
their home life to find if the cause
be there Let us ask ourselves
whether we may not be guilty of con.
tributory negligence.
