with free raw sugar this sugar would
cost you about Q cents per pound less.
Urge your Congressman to insist on
the removal Of the tariff on sugar.
This card was In q package OF 70
pounds of sugar bought by this man,
and he brought the card to me. He
paid Az cents pound for the sugar
only yesterday. Now, let us look the
facts squarely in the face. l once
before took the position in the House
that this refiner, including what he
calls the Sugar Trust, which is gen.
orally accepted to mean the American
Sugar Refinery, the Arbuckres and
himself. were in alliance not to put
sugar on the free list, but to SO re-
duce the duty as to put the beet sugar
people in the West out Of susiness.
and also the sugar cane people In
Louisiana and Texas out Of business,
in order that together they might DO
inmate the market. Their enorts
have been directed, frst. TO control
the beet production in the West ~
controlling the factories in the wes,.
They have never worried about us.
These refiners have robbed US OF
Louisiana, so far back that no mans
memory runneth to the contrary.
They saw the beet industry devel-
oping in the West absorbing large
proportion OF the sugar being supplied
to the American people, and my
friend from Colorado (Mr. Keating),
I believe, will agree with me and they
started first by trying to absorb a
majority of the stock in the beet in
dustry in the West. They failed in
that. The industry developed too
fast. In 10 years there was l,sDU per
cent of production increase, and they
had to abandon that pan OF controll-
ing of domestic sugar output. Then
. they adopted another plan-that OF
discouraging men from putting money
into the development Of the sugar in
dustry in the West, in order that they
might stop the increased production
of sugar in continental United States.
They failed in that. Then they ap-
peal to congress, not to put sugar on
the free list but to reduce the duty
on sugar to the extent of destroying
the industry in order that they may
again absorb the control of the Amer
lean market and then lift the price
of sugar to the consumer as best suit
ed them. This card comes from Mr.

DEMOCRATIC REPRESENTATIVE OUT
OF HARMONY WITH HIS PARTY

numerous articles you have received
in your mail, each and every one Of
you, are printed. I have here a docu-
ment published by him on the 18th
day Of April, this year, only few
days ago. In that document at the
head Of It, Ms has appeared on every
recent document issued by him, In.
GLIDING the two that came this mCrn-
ing, he does not advocate free sugar
as appears upon this card, but duty
of Q. 624 cent; but he advocates and
speaks for Spreckles, because the
evidence is before at least three COM
mittees Of the congress-the Hard
wick, the ways and means committee
OF the House, and the finance commit
tee of the senate last year-that ev-
cry bit Of the expense incurred in the
propaganda which he Is conducting
is paid out of the pocket of Spreckles
who claims. according to him, to be
fighting the sugar trust. Mr.. Atkins.
the vice president of the American
Sugar Refining Co.. speaking before
the committee on ways and means
the other day, said he did not want
free sugar. but wanted to reduce the
rates Of duty. The Arbuckles took the
same position before the ways and
means committee in my presence here
recently.
MR.. HARDwICK. The Arbuckles
were for free sugar.
MR.. BROUSSARD. They are not
any more than Spreckles is; and right
at the head OF every document that
you receive now that calls for free
sugar, as on this card, you will see
printed:
The rate we propose 0. 1924 cent per
pound; raw sugar, SO test, go cent

The Monhegan lobster law calls for a
close time on the crustaceans within two
miles of the island from June 25th to
Jan. 18th following. Last week c. 1.
Albee, proprietor of the Monhegan
House, summer hotel on Monhegan is
land, appeared before the committee on
sea and shore fisheries at Augusta in ad-
vocacyof an amendment to the law so that
summer residents and others on the island
shall have the right to take enough for
immediate food purposes from June 25th
to Sept. 18th. This is opposed by the
fishermen. At the hearing Mr.. Albee
offered to bet that an equal number of
Monhegan lobster fishermen had more
money than the members of the commit
tee had, but no one took up the wager.
That would seem to be good argument
in favor of retaining present conditions.
1t is like the conditions in the country at
large. 1t is admittedly more prosperous
than ever before, yet the Democrats
propose changes in the tariff which are
more likely to check than to advance the
present prosperity.

swims around as vigorously as ever. The

People are beginning to ask what bene-

war on the trusts and on the railroads
Have products been cheapened or trans
nortation facilities improved? We are
to I'd that the divesting of the New York,
H artford and New Haven R. K. OF its
trolley lines has had the contrary effect;
tn at the cost of travel between certain
ooints has been increased, as well as the
<.xpepse and number of changes. The
effect of giving up it's steamer lines re-
mains to be seen. President Mellen OF
this road, which controls the b. 4 M.

7ng the summer travel to Maine by pro-
wi ding better hotel accommodations, in
sax,d and on the coast, and had acquired
the Kineo House at Moosehead Lake and
the Samoset at Rockland. Plans had
been made for building million dollar
hotel at Bar Harbor; but that project,
with other improvements, If not aban-
esoned, is held up until the war on this

THE TEACHER OF THE COUNTRY
SCHOOL.

! No other school requires of its teacher a
greater versatility chan does the rural school.
| While the schools of this kind are usually
| smaller than village or city schools they pre-
| sent much wider range of classes, demanding
| skill in teaching children of all ages This
alone is requirement not easily met, since
methods of teaching little children are radical
ly different from those adapted to older pupils.
To be fully prepared for all the subjects an
pearing in the daily program of a country
school calls for many hours of outside study
! and preparation every day on the part of the
teacher.
The country teacher does not have the adj
vantage of constant contact with associate
teachers, with the great help that comes of
such contact, while the superintendent ana
other official advisers are not often near at
hand to lend their ready assistance. Hence,
more than other teachers, she must be pre-
pared to meet all the emergencies of instruc-
ton or of discipline that are likely to arise.
Resourcefulness must be a prominent part of
her equipment.
Little is expected of the city teacher in the
cessful country teacher, however, must be able
and willing to assist in many of the social and
other affairs that engage the attention of the
people of her school, She must be a natural
leader and director if she is to make her school
success.
country teacher cannot stand still pro-
fessonaly. She must grow. The rural teacher
who fails to read professional books and
papers. or to attend teachers institutes and
conventions, soon loses her strength as q
teacher. The very isolation of her work re-
quires that she take advantage of every posi-
BILE opportunity for self Improvement.
The pay of country teachers is generally
small In Maine the weekly salary is often as
low as seven or eight dollars, with school year
not seldom of only twenty seven or eight
weeks.
Advocates of the rural school say that the
greater demands on the rural teacher ought to
produce for her a salary at least as high as
that of the village or city teacher, while many
maintain that country children will not have
their full educational equality until rural
teachers paid more than others, to offset
the greater burdens and responsibilities laid
upon her.

THE PRIDE OF PORTLAND.
Tides running swift in storms and Gains.
Past rocky headlands, lodges lone,
Are nowhere stayed with softer charms
Than where the foods caressing arms
Round Falmouth Neck are thrown.
Munjoy stands gazing down the bay,
Off on the oceans open breast,
For coming light keeps lookout aye,
And Bramhall sees it fade away
Behind Chocorua's crest.
So was it when was young and fair
The century now worn and old,
When Destiny led gently there
To lifes bright bounds favored pair
With gifts of price untold.
How eagerly with listening ear
The world was waiting for song!
Some poets full-toned voice to hear
Ring out its gladness loud and clear
So had 1t waited long.
These sang, as minstrels sang Of old,
The perfect world by Adam trod;'
One bard the Golden Legend told,
One took his theme from age of gold
With song they Jared abroad.
One walled the grief of Israels king,
Dark woes of parricidai strife;
The other, gently comforting
Poor human hearts, did softly sing
The worlds sweet Psalm of Life.
Munjoy still greets the morning gray.
Still Bramhall watches late and long;
The fair town seated by the bay
Holds in her heart of hearts to-day
Her gifted sons of song
