crossed the ocean twice TO get here,
because the route has been developed
by foreign interests, and its facilities
are adjusted to foreign profits. As
matters stand, Englandt or some other
European country, is the circumlocut'

ports OF the United States and South

This beef from Argentina is said TO
be Of good quality, and there is no
reason why it should be otherwise, for

Of the beef imported at Washington is

less than the domestic price, an in

foreign article is placed at all this traffic

meant large advance on the cost to
American consumers. The removal ol
the duty on coal and hides brought no
advantage to the people OF this coun'

Argentina beef is cheap and abundant,
but it seems in Wasbsdgton costs only

Honest Political MethsdS.

Republicans believe in honest cleo
tions and the honest counting Of ballots.
And they also believe in honset meth
DDS Of determining party matters in
district, State and National conventions.
rhe honest men who compose a large
majority OF Republican voters will not
stand for anything less than honest
methods in party conventions. Men
wiling to resort to unfair methods are
in the minority very small minority.
They have had their day and the party
mas suffered for their folly. II they

To meet this combination It was re-

as Of excellent quality and equal In

SHOW THE GAMBLING SPIRIT
Bidders at Auction Sales, Without
Funds, Find Delight In Just Avoid.
Ing Being Shown Up.

One OF the funny sights. to the per
son who didn't bid at all, at the Nor.
ris PARK real estate auction, was the
look OF high courage, shading insen-
sibly into reckless daring. on the face
OF some man who was bidding $500
when he knew he would have trouble
raising 30 cents.
"A.trun dolls! A.trun dolls!" the
auctioneer would call. trippingly on
the tongue. "A.trun dolls! Going at

Bringing in Foreign Beef.

The arrival at Washington D. c., OF
first consignment Of fresh beef from
Argentina, consisting Of 100000
pounds, is attended by circumstances
that ought 10 command attention in
this country. One Of the points for
thought is that this cargo, refrigerated,
was first sent from Buenos Ayres to

The Temper of Republicans.

Republicans OF all kinds believe in
fair protective tariff, They are all
Protectionist. They believe in the
regulation of all established trusts and
the abolition of such trusts as impose
upon the people. They believe in
reasonable control OF wealth and lair
division Of The products of labor and
capital. They believe in sound
currency. They believe in the alb
solute protection Of lives and property
Of Americans in foreign countries.
They believe in the glory Of the flag
and the inviolability OF the constitu-
tion. They believe in all these things,
yet very small number Of them will
stand for unfair methods in party pro-
ceedure or the use Of the party BY
political bosses. The party cannot be
unified without being sanctifed 10 the
will and use Of the people. Those
who want to lead the Republicans had
best reckon with their devotion tc
party honor and their loyalty to wha
is right in party management and ii
civil government.

An instrument known as the bron.

lungs and to remove foreign sub

light. To remove foreign body from
the lungs, the hollow leg is inserted
in the moath and permitted to pass
down the throat until II reaches the
vocal chords. With the aid OF the
mirror and light on the outer end an
examination of the lungs Ia then made
and the foreign substance located.
This done, a small steel tweezer is
passed through the hollow tube and

public service commission, created by
an act Of the last Legislature will take
a broad view Of the transportation
question in Missouri and that the
railroads will be given a sufficiently re-
numerative rate to enable them to
afford adequate service and possibly

with their transportation. A system Of

Mr.. Woodruff, as we'll as others who
give this matter attention, iavors strict
laws and their enforcement against re-
batting, looting Of roads by dishonest
officers and other abuses which have
been checked if not abolished in late

A few months ago Bryan was the
biggest man in the Democratic party.
Now he is laughed at. He certainly
made a great mistake wheu he asserted
that he cannot live properly in Wash
ington on a salary Of one thousand
dollars a month. An apostle Of eco
nomic government should practice at
home what he advocates in the public
service. In Bryryan's case covetous'
ness is so apparent, so unmistakeable
that the honest men OF tb2 nation can
not accept his excuse for spending SC
much Of his time in seeking to make
more money than the government pays
him.

His Unexpected Holiday.

Owing to an accident to the ele-
vator in his Office, the busy Mr.
Charles Frohman, the theatrical man
ager, was once imprisoned in the lift
for an hour. Alarmed for the conse-
quences of this loss of managerial
time the staff eyed Mr.. Frohman anx-
iously as he stepped out. In spite of
the reputation which he enjoys for
keeping his temper they believed that
this experience would be too severe a
test. They were wrong. With big
cigar in his mouth and a bigger smile
on his face Mr. Frohman observed,
well. boys, that's the first holiday
rye had for six years"

How oft thy joys o'erfowing memory's cell

How oft when happy days I'm counting Ger

And blissful shivers run thro all my veins

Again hear thy well remembered bell

The fiattened key note of its broken rim,
The ringer sagging with lazy nope

What bells l e'er may hear in other lands.

The solemn vesper. calling souls to prayer,
The organ voiced that part the Sab bath air,
The pealing. changing, brazen midnight bells,

The muffled- tolling bell of saddened tone.

MAINE SEA AND SHORE FISHERIES.

Statistics and report of the Depart
ment of Sea and Shore Fisheries for the
years 1911 and 1912 have been completed
at the Office of the Commissioner and
forwarded to the Governor as required
by law.
The value of the catch paid to the fish
ermen for the raw material taken from
the water in 1912 is the largest in the
history of the Department, amounting
to S., 954, 433, which is an increase of
over 81, 900, 600 in the past five years.
HOLSTERS are of the greatest value;
herring, ground fish, CLANS and scaIlops
coming next, in the order mentioned.
The value of wharves. buildings, fac
tories, boats and fishing apparatus used
in connection Herewith is over So, 000,-
600, and the total number of people en-
gagged, over 90 900.
A great many of our people do not
realize the magnitude or importance of
this industry, which is growing larger
year by year.
Commissioner Donahue advises changes
in the regulation of several of the spec
les, which in his opinion would largely III
crease their value, notably the clam,
alewife and salmon; and he intends to
try to have laws enacted by the present
legislature toward that end.

Inc Governor does not approve of the
plan OF the purchase of land for forest
reserve, because he believes that such
propositions would open the door to great
pubic extravaganza. He thinks ali wild
Iands are better in the hands of private
owners than in the hands of the State,
put he is seriously anxious that these
forest growths shall be preserved, and
his recommendations look to securing
that end first of all.
The direct primary is approved and
stringent corrupt practices act is urged
as being the surest method of allowing
the will of the people to be expressed at
the polls.
The Governor desires the Legislature
to do all that can be done to assist in the
war against tuberculosis; he approves of
the creation of a public utilities COM
mission and the enactment of workmen's
compensation act.
On the question of prohibition of the
liquor traffic, he asserts that the will of
the people has again been recorded, and
he regards the question as settled. Fur
Their than that, he affirms that no public
officer has any authority but to execute
the law in faithful and impartial man
ner. and it will be his purpose, as the
Chief Executive of the State, to do all
that he can to encourage such enforce
ment.
The Legislature appears to be fairly
launched upon lis busy season. If the
same spirit actuates the members of the
Senate and House of Representatives as
is shown by the Governor in his address.
the session will be important and valu-
able, and the legislation enacted will op-
crate 10 enhance the welfare of the peo-
pie, which is the Legislature S reason for
being.
