| the Cummins Progressiyes for voting
with the Democrats and cites their ae-
ton as another proof that the two
wings of the party cannot get together
| Theodore Roosevelt, the great Bull
| Moose, is not a tariff reformer. The
progressive when Frank A. Munsey is
not in town. passionately urges the
Cummins- Borah- Gronna element t.
vote with the Democrats on the tariff
on the ground that otherwise the tar
if cannot be etaken out of politics.
Senator Cummins is the self-ap-
pointed harmonizer of the regulars and
the Progressives. AS a member of the
Overman lobby committee he has as
founded the regulars by sitting silent
while the notorious Mulhall has
smirched the Republican leaders, and
in the Senate he has voted with the
Democrats every time the Old Guard
has demanded that any particular rate
be increased
yet in an interview this week Sena-
tor Cummins predicts that the Demo
cratic party soon will be overtaken
with disaster because il is about to in
flict upon the country a tariff law
which invites the periIs of free trade
and previously discriminates against
the West in favor of the East The
Bull Moosers are fearful that the near
Bull Moosers like Cummins will nor
split off in the tariff fight. Probably
their test will come when La Toilette
submits bill of his own"
In the light of these facts from
Washington, does ii not behoove Maine
voters to consider the possibility, yes
the probability, that the Progressive
News Service" is also urging and in
structing Maine voters to approve"
the Democratic tariff bill by voting
TO send another Democratic represent
alive To Congress?
That is what we have feared and
have repeatedly warned the voters
against. The Waldo county smoke, by
one Edgar F. Hanson. looked suspi-
cious, and the Lewiston Journals
prompt and tragic tanning serves to
confirm the belief that there is a coll
ored gentleman in the woodpile
1t seems to be Peters and protection
of Names agricultural. industrial, la
Dor and home interests, against a COM
bination Of free trade fanatics and dis
appointed hopes avengers If such can
mislead the voters we are widely mis-
taken in our estimation of Names ev-
erage voters.
What other conclusion can YOU reach
from the above independent review of
conditions in Washington?

Republican Nomination
New Schedule X poons Sheep


James B. Reynolds in a lengthy ar
tiele for the Philadelphia Press deal
ing with the new schedule X, declare:
that the Democratic tariff bill mean.
the ruin of a $500, 200 industry by
putting wool and mutton on the free
list. He points out that the cost OF

that of other countries. Here is 6
summary of his findings
Tariff has been revised eighteen
times in ninetys six years, giving av-
erage life of rate of but little over five
years.
Wool growing in eUnited States is
huge industry--totai investment near
Iy 5000, 100000. Yearly domestic wages
paid nearly $5oooo,ooo. And cost OF
growing is higher than ever before.
Highest cost in world in Ohio, low
est in Australia.
Average cost in U. S. ten cents a
pound. In South America, 4 1-2 cents.
In Australasia by-receipts carry whole
Hook expense-wool costs nothing to
grow there.
disadvantages in freight and interest
charges.
Just now the United States is the
third in rank of the wool-raising
countries of the world in the amount
of wool produced, and has total in
yestment in sheep and land devoted
exclusively to sheep raising of $780,
100000. This is a big sum to throw
away in the search for keen foreign
competition" 1t is believed that the
proposed free wool and free meat in
the pending tariff bill will cause one
third of the sheep in this country to
be slaughtered Most of the land now
devoted TO sheep raising is semi-arid
and will be almost valueless unless
sheep raising can be maintained. The
revised schedule X, therefore, means
for sheep growers an enormous loss;
for the country at large il means the
destruction in large part of very
great industry.
The chief weight of this loss will
fall on Ohio and the great States of
the West which have vast areas that
are better fitted for sheep raising
than anything else. These new States
in their comparatively brief life have
always had the benefit of protec-
tive tariff. Making wool free is one of
the blows which this bill aims at AM
erican agriculture. 1t is the penalty
which the people must pay because
the party of protection allowed itself
to be divided and the party opposed
to protection, although "A minority,
was thereby enabled to impose its pol
icy for a time upon the country.
The full effect of this disastrous
policy can be learned only by fresh
experience; but our past experience is
sufficient to show that this Demo-
cratic tariff is bound to PROSTATE
many Industries, throw men out of
employment and practically destroy
the great sheep and wool industry of
this country as II is today.

Maine Gossip
"The Man From the Crowd"

"The Man From the Crowd"
AS like as the bees in a swarming of
bees:
And We look at the millions that make
up the State
All equally little and equally great.
And the pride of our courage is cowed.
Then Fate calls for a man who is larger
than men
There's a surge in the crowd-there's a
movement-and then
There arises a man that is larger than
men
And the man comes up from the crowd.
The chasers of trifes run hlther and yon.
And the little small days of small things
still go on,
And the world seems no better at sunset
than dawn,
And the race still increases its plentiful
spawn,
Then the Great Deed calls out for the
Great Man to come.
And the crowd, unbelieving, sits sullen
and dumb
But the Great Deed is done, for the
Great Man has come
Aye, the man comes UP from the crowd
There's dead hum of voices. all say the
same thing.
And our forefathers' songs are the songs
that We sing,
And the deeds by our fathers and grand
fathers done
Are done by the son of the son Of the
son,
And our heads in contrition are bowed
So, a call for man who shall make all
things new
Goes through the throng. See. he rises in
Yiew
Make room fer the man who shall make
all things new
For the man who comes up from the
crowd
And where is the man who comes up
from the throng
Who does the new deed and who sings
the new song,
And who makes the old world as
world that is new2
And who is the man. It is you, II is YOU.
And our praise is eXultant and proud
We are waiting for You therefor You
are the man,
Come up from the iostle as soon as You
can:
Come up from the crowd there. for You
are the man
The man who comes up from the
crowd.-By Sam Walter Foss.

The recommendations of Lieut.. Craig
hill of the War Department in refer
ence To Gurnet bridge are such as to
place the entire burden of improving
the channel as we'll as the rebuilding
of the bridge. on the towns of Bruins
wick and Harpswell. The plan he has
outlined calls for a large expenditure
and neither town is at this time pre-
pared to raise a large sum of money
for the Improvement of a waterway,
even though il may be desira bic to pro-
vide safer and better facilities for the
passage of motor boats through this
channel. Harpswell already has bridge
problems enough to deal with. and both
towns will soon be assessed for their
share of the half million dollars which
the county will spend on the Portland
bridge. The time is not opportune for
making this extensive improvement at
Gurnet, and IL better be postponed un-
til the two towns concerned can get
to gether and agree on some reasonable
plan.

INTEREST IN SPELLING CONTEST
Keen Rivalry Among the Schools of the
County.

Those who are interested in educa.
tional matters of Idaho county state
that there is every indication that the
Idaho county Spelling Contest, which
will occur a Grangeville, on Saturday
night, March %, will prove of lasting
benefit to the children as well as ava
kening an interest in a subject that is
sadly neglected and the need of which
is obvious. The county is divided into
ten districts and three pupils from each
school will be admitted to the district
contests which are to be held March l5,
The three making the best records in
the district contests will be entered in
the final county contest which will
occur Saturday evening, March 22 at
the public school building in Grange.
vile.
The final contest will consist of both
written and oral tests and competent
Judges will be appointed. The first
prize being $25, the second $40 and the
third 50. There is every evidence of
Keen rivalry and some little school in
the remote and seldom heard of district
is just as apt to win the first prize as
one Of the city schools.

NEWS OF THE
DISTRICT COURT

dished up in the spicy and seductive
style that is a natural gift to the
writer's of the Hearst papers, it was
then we decided the wise ones had been
double-crossed and that there still re-
mained that unsuitable craving in the
human mind for the sensational.
However, they kept everlasting
preaching it and we had just about
come to the conclusion that the crav-
ing was abating until the trial the first
of this week. A growing faith was rude
ly shattered and while it might have
been desire to hear the arguments of
the brilliant and scholarly Atty. Hatta-
baugh or the dashing and frey Judge
Scales, we half suspect it was longing
to hear the recital Of an aromatic story
in which a child of fourteen years of
age and young man who had just
reached his majority were the principal
characters that fetched 'em.''
The crime was committed on July 6
at the Dewey Hotel in the town Of
Kooskia, it being the contention Of the
state that the complaining witness,
Sylvia Wilson, a child of but thirteen
years of age at the time of the crime,
was wronged by Jess Kitchen, a young
man who had just attained his majority.
A number of witnesses were introduc-
ed by both sides and the case was a
hard fought one. Hattabaugh for the
state left no stone unturned in repre-
senting the state and Attys. Reberg and
Scales making hard fight for the
defendant. While the case was
thoroughly tried, no unfair means were
used by either side and the jury was
made aware OF all the facts. That the
girl had been ruined was not denied by
the defendant s attorneys but as to the
defendant being the guilty party, there
was sufficient doubt and the jury was
out but six minutes when it brought in
a verdict Of not guilty.
The child and her parents are deserv-
ing of sympathy and as the law has
held that the young man is not guilty
of the crime charged there should be
no public resentment against him.

But, say the opponents of the bull
system, "your wheat will not bring as

TO that Mr.. Jansen replies: "The
Iacts do not bear out this statement, fol
three reasons, one of which is practi
caiiy all the grain is emptied from the
bags; second, that it can be unloaded
cheaper in bulk on account of consum.
ing less time and labor; and third, the
most important of all, it brings the
same price in bulk.'
Agitation for bulk handling of tn
grain crop is not a new phase of in.
