meager as it is, warrants us in believing
that mighty little of this consignment
would ever get up this way If distribut-
ed from Augusta headquarters.
Now all this leads us to inquire why
there should be such a discrimination
against good old Somerset. Surely pre-
election thirst is not confined to any one
section and we recall nothing that would
justify our sister county of Kennebec in
her selfish and heartless designs.
"Of course everyone i'm the district, ex-
cept perhaps its immediate promoters
are chucklng over the incident. That so
slick project as this booze-lined load of
furniture should get pinched is rare
treat Further than that, there is food
for reflection for every citizen who is en-
titled to vote at the primaries, for con-
gressional candidates on July 2s. A
statement as to the party or parties re-
sponsible for this importation would be
hard to substantiate but each man
use his own reasoning powers and,
should he reach conclusion satisfactory
to himself, he would naturally line up
against any element guilty of practice
so pernicious."
The spectacle of Pattangail on the
run is more or less humorous.

everything that the lobbyists of the
feather trade have desired has been
cheerfully granted by the Democratic

attitude of your Senator Johnson |

for his conversion to the views of the

1t IS the business of the State of
Maine to inquire how ''our Senator
Johnson" is occupying the bad emf
nence of being one of three senators
chiefly responsible for obstrueting and
probably defeating most humane and
desirable provision of the. Underwood
tariff bill, designed to check the sale OF
wild birds feathers by forbidding their
Importation for millinery. whis is
warmly favored by many millions OF
the American people. 1t is opposed
only by some two dozen feather im-
porters, chiehy of New York City. and
by Germany. It is law designed to
protect bird life all over the world
And since it touches only the import
ers it cannot possibly harm any
Maine milliner or dealer. Most of the
women of influence in the country fav-
or forbidding the importation or sale
of anything but ostrich plumes and
domestic fowls feathers. both allowed
by the original bill. But they believe
that to sanction more kinds being used
would lead to abuse of privilege.
In the face of all this public senti-
ment, the feather importers Of New
York have contrived rider to this
original Paragraph 357 Of Schedule N,
which nullifies all that would be gained
by the original.

Lawrence of Lubec as their candidate
for Congress at the convention where the
machinery was as well oiled as any that
has ever been held in this State. The
"Steam Roller method had succesSf lilly
eliminated candidates that would have
more nearly represented the true mean
ing of the Progressive movement than
Mr. Lawrence. The Progressive vote in
Washington county will unquestionaply
fall off from last November and while
we are grieved to admit it, We have

with voters in our county In the past,

Ten Minutes for the Birds?

Ten Minutes for the Birds?
In another column we publish a let
ter embodying another letter which we
hope will arouse the people of Maine to
remonstrance. Can it be possible that
bird lovers and agriculturalists are
posed legislation and yet remain apa-
thetc? And can it be even remotely
possible that any person in Maine fails
to grasp the significance of the action
taken at the request of the feather
merchants? A report in the Washing
ton Post reads:
AS the hearing progressed. it be-
came clearly evident to Messrs. Horn
aday, Forbush and Oldys that all three
members of the subcommittee had
been converted to the views of the
feather trade, and that the amend
ment demanded by the trade would be
indorsed outside the door of the COM
mittee room DIR. Hornaday remarked
to his colleagues:
1.-The feather trade has an under
standing, We are up against a closed
easel"
Is that in any way enligatening2

sordid and inhuman side of question:
that is agitating the world. We should
be glad to publish his explanation or
elucidation. Frankly we can sec but ONE
worthy side to the question; il there
be another let our able Maine senat tor
present it.
Meantime let us show to Senator
johnson and others the desire and de-
termination of the humane people of
this State, to say nothing of the inter-
ests which depend upon their bird
friends to keep insect pests within
bounds.
Sometimes humane souls cry OUT
why is it that every moral or humani-
tartan step upward toward God must
be fought bitterly and bloodily with the
hosts of greed"
Write to Senator Johnson that you
are a friend to all kinds of birds; that
If they are not saved from their hui
man enemies the insect pests will some
day overcome us and we shall suffer
famine because of the innocent blood
we have shed.
Write to Senator Johnson and ask

Paying for a home by picking wild
berries is the feat performed by Mrs.
Seth Davis of Skowhegan, who for the
last % years has been engaged in this
industry very successfully. Her IA
vorite berry is the raspberry and she
averages about Is bushel of these in a
year. She picks about eight bushels
of the field strawberries in the year
and many bushels of wild blackberries.
Besides picking these she peddles them
out in Skowhegan. She now owns
fine farm on the Canaan Road and she
remarked, Tuesday. that she had
paid for it by picking berries. She
not only picks berries but she assists
her husband in many ways about the
farm. In the winter time she Will
take a load of wood with a pair of
horses, come to Skowhegan and find
market for it, unloading it herself.
Mrs. Davis is an intelligent woman
and is one of the most frequent
patrons of the public library. She
takes books therefrom and in her trips
to and from the village she devours
their contents. She believes that lite
is worth more to her by this out door

wise.
