TO PUBLISH A FARM MAGAZINE

Major Edward H. Kelley of this city who
until last month had been managing editor OF
the Bangor Daily Commercial for the past IL
years, is to engage in the business of publish
ing magazine section to be issued weekly
with three leading morning papers in Maine

of agriculture in the State of Maine and plans
to be inspiratona educational and interesting
to the tiller of the soil in large, or small way
in city or country, well as the women of the
Maine home, urban or rural.
With statewide circulation the new publ
cation is expected t. be one of the most potent
forces in the uplift of Maine along its most
important line. Major Kelley is graduate OF
the University of Maine in the course of agri-
culture, and although engaged in newspaper
work many years has been in close touch FOR
sometime past with the movement now on to
build up the State agriculturally and indus :

Major Kelley is Belfast boy who has made
good in journalism and we are confident he
will make a success of his proposed venture
There is growing interest in such matter as
he will present. "Book farming" has ceased te
be subject for jest or derision. Scientific agri-
culture has demonstrated its usefulness, and
it has been abundantly proved that agriculture
education pays.

That Bryan is an unsafe man has beer
demonstrated in the short time he has
held the Office of Secretary Of State.
His St. Patrok's day speech, has brought
caustic comment from the London Press.

Great Britain and the United States may
enter upon . phase which would be re-
garded wit9 extreme regret by ma
i0rity of the sensible moderate persons
of both countries. The Standard de-
scribes Secretary Bryan's speech as ga
fine example Of virulent and inflated non
sense which the inferior kind of dema-
gogue talks when he wants to catch Irish
votes" The Standard regrets the speech
which, it says, it is impossible to pass as
a mere indiscretion, just as the Panama

fears that the Irish electioneering ma

- Es Gov. Plaisted has been in WASH
ington and is said to be looking for the
dictatorship at Portland. Elk. Ex-senator
Obadiah Gardner, who was reported as
packing and about to leave in huff for
VI aine, has unpacked and is expectant.
A Washington special of March 21st says
ne has refused the offer of commissioner
of pensions with salary of S., 900, not
considering the place ''big enough" A
W ashington special 70 the Bangor Com
merciai says:
The Maine Democratic leaders, it is
learned here, think Senator Gardner has
been decidedly "offish" and has been
showing soreness because he was not
taken into the cabinet. They look upon
such an attitude as unsportsmanllke and
they are also wondering whether the ex-
Senator is not measuring the dimensions
Of his own Importance in terms that
might seem little exaggerated.
1t is reported from Washington, under
date of March oath, that Gardner has
been offered, and has accepted, the col
Iectorship at Portland, with salary of
$4,000, his duties to begin July l. 1913;
also that ex-Secretary of State Cyrus w.
Davis is in line for the collectorship of
internal revenue at Portsmouth, N. H.
Ex.-Gov. Plaisted is said to be looking
for appointment as consul general at
Montreal, post which carries salary
of upwards of $1,000 year. but may
have to content himself with the Au-
gusta postmastership at So, 600.

President Wilson is warned by the
London press not to be q crank. The
Morning Standard says: CDR. Wilson
must be careful lest he gain the fatal
reputation of being a crank His ad-
dress the other day was dangerously
near the line that divides nobility of
thought and of purpose from the mere
highfauting. An ostentatious democracy
at the White House and the narrow mind
ed intrusion of personal idiosyncrasy
gnay end by creating an atmosphere of
prejudice that may obscure the many ad-
mlrable qualities of which the President
is universally believed to be possessed.
