Free Farms in England.

Probably one of the most surprising
bits of news which has come TO this
country from England in many years is
TO the effect that England is to have
free farms. Coming from a country
where land rents for years have been
bone Of contention, the announce
ment is all the more surprising, even
though this novel move is not a gen
eral one but is initiated only by a
single large land holder. Sir Forteseue
Flannery by name. According to the
report brought oyer Sir Forteseue has
announced that on his large Essex es-
tate he win charge no rent for any por-
ton OF his land which his tenants
plant to sugar beets.
Whether or moi this is the result of
the anti-German feeling in England
about which so much has been heard
lately Is not reported, but students OF
international relations here are in
clined To think il defensive move in
his connection. Not only does Ger
many produce all her own sugar from
the beet, with surplus for expori
amounting TO s50.00o,oeo annually, they
point OUT, while England is dependent

Editorial Comment
Personal Liberty Again Threatened.
(Farmington ChronicIe)

(Farmington Chronicle)
The county and probably the state
have been recently flooded anew with
the circulars of the Boston rum
dealers who thus solicit trade in
prohibition territory. Accompanying
the advertisement of their wares is
a startling appeal to the people to
watch out lest the priceless posses
sion of personal liberty shall be tax
en- from us by bill now pending in
Congress which is designed to prevent
the shipment into prohibition territory
OF liquor intended for illegal sale.
OF course the circular does not state
the exact provision of the bill What
they state is this:
EXTREMELY IMPORTANT.
On December 16 next there will come
mn in the United States Senate at Wash
ington, ID. c., bill known IS the
Amended Kenyon bill. No. 44S rms
commerce. This means that you could
not have whiskey. wines, beer, or other
liquor shipped to YOU either by frelghh@
or express, if you live m ,,, territory where
You could not get any liquor Tor your
private and family use. Just think what
such legislation meansl 1t is an interieg-
ence with your right and personal ND
erty. Win you help to defeat this bill!
WHAT more incongruous spectacle
than a Boston rumseller calling out
to an unwary public to before of the
foe to their rights and personal no
erty. The appeal for liberty which
has rung out from old Boston in days
mast has in those times issued from
Faneuil hall and the Old South church.
In these times it comes from Canal
street and the rest of the wholesale
and retail liquor districts of the IA
NOUS old town.
Now we have not seen the Amend
ed Kenyon bill. but we are willing To
venture d guess that it proposes no'h-
ing OF the sort described above. IL
is merely an attempt to prevent the
shipment into a prohibition state Tor
Illegal sale of liquors which are not
allowed to be manufactured or sofa
there There is no attempt to prevent
the private purchase for private con-
sumption of any liquor. There is no
attempt upon the personal liberty OF
any resident of our stale, unless tndt
person is DESTROYS Of importing liquor
into the state for sale in violation OF
the state law or unless he is person
who wishes to purchase liquors IN
place or manner prohibited by law.
Does that appeal to our people as II
dangerous infringement of liberty?
Now let us take the hint from our
thrifty o-patriots of Boston's North
End and write to our senators at
WASHINGTON urging the passage OF
the Amended Kenyon bill, No. 4o4S.

for 1er supply of foreign countries,
the sugar beet in rotation in the land
Of the Kaiser are double those where
the beet is not used. Germany's sue
cess in securing great yields is now
Acknowledged to be due to the eulti-
walton of the beet and as the factor of
food supply is always important in the
case OF war, this step to encourage the
use of the beet in England is regarded
in some quarters as having a particular
significance.
AS an illustration it is pointed out
that in this country the crop yields are
only half those secured in Germany
though an increase of fifty percent
has been shown in sections where the
sugar beet industry has taken hold.
No offer of free farms has been made
here, however, since it is recognized
that with such encouragement as IS
needed to edualize wages the industry
is likely to become even more import
ant than it has in Germany without
any such radical stimulus as that pro-
posed by Sir Fortescue. That the free
farm movement should be Instituted by
a man named Flannery. gives dunn
orous turn to the situation in view Of
the many troubles of the British gov
eminent in the past in connection with
Irish land rents.

What the Dries Said.
(Zion's Advocate.)


One of the humorous features OF
the recent prohibition campaign IN
West Virginia was the posting by
the vets on walls and buildings
of big full sheet posters contain
ing a picture of Governor Plaistea
of Maine and an extract from some
of his attacks on prohibition, with
this question under it: What do the
dries have to say to that? When
the news of the September election
in Maine which overturned the
Palisted calumnies reached west
Virginia, the dries" placarded the
state with the announcement OF the
result, heading their placards This
is the answer the dries have to make
to Governor Plaisted." Ii is said
that almost as by magic the wet
posters came down all over West
Virginia. and their sneering question
was seen and heard no more.
1.-THE result was majority of $1,000
votes for prohibition. Only three
counties out of So gave majority
against the amendment.-Ed itor.l

Booze Trusts Use Of Governors.

The title of Governor" looms
large to some people, when they see
it used in support of project The
booze trust is well aware of its eff
fieiency as an advertising agency
and makes frequent use of it. But
a booze trust governor is deemed, by
people of intelligence and character,
just as low and more dangerous to
society than the cheapest bum
In the West Virginia campaign the
booze trust used the governor of
Maine in attempt to deceive and
over-awe the voters. They posted
large pictures of Governor Plaisted
in thousands of places and printed
thereon some of his notorious argu-
ments against prohibition, and in ad-
dition this challenge: What answer
have the dries TO make?" The
dries" answered with a prohibition
majority of $1,000. and Governor
Plaisted's pictures promptly came
down.
1t was in West Virginia, too, that
the title of secretary of state was
staged against prohibition, where the
Hon. Cyrus w. Davis fought for the
rum trust.
just now the National Wholesale
LIQUOR Dealers Assn is using the
governor of Alabama to boom its
business and oppose decency 1t is
as though it did not own him soul
and body, and as though it respected
his wisdom and judgment. 1t quotes
Gov. o.Neal at length in his de-
nunciation of the Kenyon bill to pro-
hibit the interstate shipment of booze
into prohibition territory. Ii is
quite probable that the booze trust
will furnish the funds and do all in
its power to re-elect such rum trust
serving executives.
Touching the Kenyon bill, let us
suggest that the possibility of the
parcels post being used for the ship
ment OF booze makes the demand for
the restriction of interstate traffic
contrary to state laws all the more
urgent. Have you written your
senator or representative yet?

wrote the express company. Now
this gives the farmer between 10 and
II cents per basket for the shipment,
which would hardly pay for the labor
involved in picking the peaches. OBJ
viously, the farmer wasn't satisfied
and would do better TO let his peaches
fall to the ground and rot. And yet
there We're good many million people
in the Eastern cities who We're not
able TO get as many peaches as they
would like to have. There is a pretty
big problem here. Maybe the express
company's share was not exorbitant;
certainly the farmers share was
grossly INADEQUATE. One fact notice
able is that the express company has
control of the situation: they take
their share whatever happens; the
farmer gets what's left. In consider
ing solutions, don't forget the sugges-
ton that good many people vino

We believe many Maine farmers
have had similar experiences, in the
shipment of produce, to the following,
told editorially, in Golfers weekly
magazine:
Some weeks ago, at the height of
the peach season, a farmer in Orleans
County, n. Y, picked fortyone bas-
kets and delivered them to the Ameri-
can Express Company. TO be sold in an
Eastern city at the best market price
obtainable. In due time the express
company accounted. They said that
the shipment was three baskets short
at the destination. For the remaining
thirty-eight baskets they accounted
as fellows.
