Senator Burieish Heartily For 1t.
belfast JournaI.)

tbeidSl
The foreign trade movement inaug-
urated by the Maine State Board of
Trade, is receiving the endorsement Of
many leading men of the State. One
of the most recent communications on
the subject received by Howard W.
Bible, who has been largely instru-
mental in arousing sentiment in favor
of the foreign trade propaganda, Is
from Senator Edwin C. Burleigh, who
says:
Properly managed 1t will mean in
creased returns to manufacturers, en-
ployes and communities generally. II
will also bring into the State the bet
ter class of immigrant and in that way
be of benefit to our merchants as we'll
as our manufacturers. This state
movement should receive the unqual-
fed support of all parties in the state,
for in my opinion nothing of such i'm
portance to our future prosperity has
come before us in recent years. AS
suring all those who have the work IN
hand of my hearty support, / am,
Yours very truly,
E. C. BURLEIGH.

Hard Winter for the Rich.


It has been q hard winter for "the
rich" Their distress over the federal
income tax, with all of its uneNplored
and teasing complexities. has been
enough to make it a season long to De
remembered. How many have had to
give up trips to the Florida beaches In
order to find time to make out returns
is hard to estimate, but the other day
il was stated that tourist travel to
Florida had fallen off % per cent. With
the expiration yesterday of the time
for fling form No. 1910 with the near
est internal revenue collector. Florida
and Bermuda may have an increased
March patronage. The tax will not
have to be paid until June. Within a
few weeks accurate figures may De
available as to the number of personal
returns made in the United states
showing how many there are who, hav-
ing incomes $4,000 or over, faced the
tax gatherer with honor.

A city's Business Manager.
(Brockton ENTERPRISE.

HIM. Waite, the manager of Dayton,
O.. who operates that city on busi-
ness basis of efficiency and economy,
told at Indianapolis in an address be-
fore the Indiana Sanitary and Water
Supply Association the effect Of the
new fern of city government upon
publicly operated utilities. Waite dis
cussed whether local public utilities
can be operated as cheaply and eftl-
GENTLY by the city government as by
a corporation.
I'VE believe we have the most busi-
nesslike form of government yet pro-
posed in this country--in fact 1t is the
form of organization under which our
private corporations have had such
phenomenal success and we can ac-
cordingly see no reason why 1t should
not be the best form of government
to operate public utilities" he said
The city manager said in the COM
mission-manager form Of government
the manager represents the head of a
corporation. He appoints his heads Of
departments.
II do not know the politics of a
single one Of my appointees in Dayton.

Easy Lessons on Tariff.

The American measure of pros
perity contains four pecks OF indus
try. II one of those pecks is crowded
out by imports of foreign made goods,
who is most likely to be the loser?
Labor" you say? That is easy.
Very we'll, then; who is most likely
to be the gamer?
Harder, isn't it? You have been
told by our Democratic friends that
the American consumer was to de-
rive the benefit. Have you, as CON
sumer," realized any benefits from the
first year of Democracy and the mil
lions upon millions of foreign made
goods that were held in bond to await
the lower duties, and then dumped on
the American market?
You were promised In Democratic
convention and platform, in campaign
speeches, Presidential declarations and
Congressional excuses for tariff mon
keying, that by reduction of duties.
neaVlly, you were 10 receive, dS d

in any degree? If you have realized
any reduction on one side. has it not
been more than made up on another?
So far. so good! Now. if you hap
pen to be a producer, as we'll as a
consumer" tfew Americans are not
producers of one sort or another) what
about it? Are you not a part Of that
peck that has been crowded out by
foreign product?
Well, then, who is the gamer? Let
Us tell you in a very few words: The
gamer is the foreign laborer who did
not have work and now has, and the
foreign manufacturer and merchant
who are gobbling vastly increased
profits.
Thus. Americans have less work and
less money TO buy with, and have to
pay just as much to live as before.
Foreign labor gets more work at the
same pay. and foreign interests get
enormously increased sales Of pro-
duct and handsomely increased prices.
How do you like It?

around and found another site. calling
it the Fowler plant. 1t consisted OF
lagoon, somewhere. a partially COM
pleted dam, some ISIS acres in the Ia
goon and several acres of land for
buildings. The plant was expected to
be finished in 1898 and was to have an
earning capacity of $4,000 a day net.
Well, that looked still better, didn
it? 1t did to great many and they
fell over each other in their haste to
buy that stock.
Then came the second sale of stock.
The directors on their return home au-
thorized an issue of 900 shares OF
stock from the trust pot and at par.
The bulletin issued March 15, 1898, said
that the issue was being rapidly sub
scribed by those who are convinced
from personal inquiry that the claims
of this company are genuine. and that
it's management is economical, ousl-

Then came a day. A bright, smart
and more or less inquisitive newspaper
reporter thought he would look into
the mysteries of those "accumulatrs,
visited Iubec, made his way unde-
tected into or onto the plant. con-
cealed himself and watched the opera
tions What he told when he had seen
enough and returned to the world sent
up such a wailing and cries OF rage
as had not been for years.
It was a swindle, pure and simple.
Jernegan and his confederate or con-
federates had been secretly putting
gold in solution into the accumuiators,
then taking it out and pretending that
the secret process had extracted II
from the salt water.
Jernegan fled. He was supposed to
have secured a good sized pile of the
victims money, but it was said,
few years afterward that he had been
seen in the Philippines, where he was
teaching and claimed to be penniiess.
The gold still remains in the sea.

Whom Does "Posterity" Begin?


Under the caption Canning the Wild
West" the Nebraska State Journal
says editorially:
Colonel w. F. Cody has never per-
formed more important service for
the Government than in the supervis-
ion of the making Of a large collection
of Aims picturing the early history of
the estern plains. He has been engdg-
ed since his wild west show closed in
Denver in making moving pictures of
battle scenes and historical incidents
in various parts of the plains and the
Rocky mountain region. In this work
he has been provided with an abun-
dance of help and has been able there
fore to reproduce with Indians, sold
iers and cowboys the most stirring
events Of past years in their correct
historical setting. Colonel Cody has
now taken the completed films to
Washington for delivery to the Gov
ernment. After being shown to Sc
lect company of people in one of the
theatres, they will be filed in the arch
ives of the War and Interior depart

moving picture firms would pay hand
somely for these films. but they are
not FOR SALE They constitute an accu-
rate record of the development of the
West and especially Of the advance Of
the Indian from his savage state to his
present near approach to citizenship
Pray when does "posterity" begin
How many millions of Americans to-
day know absolutely nothing Of ''the
advance of the Indian from his saw
age state to his present near approach
to citizenship? Indeed how many mil
lions know SO vastly less than nothing
from having read the dreams and ex-
travagancies Of "bludanthunder" nov
els? Indeed. who is more entitled to
an accurate record Of the develop
ment of the West" than our young of
today? And why should the govern
ment's expensive and worth while rec
oFds be filed" In a dungeon to be
parceled out to "posterity" according
to the notion Of some one in the fu-
ture with the official power to fix the
limit, while we OF today may be fed
upon the makeshift productions of
cheap and irresponsible Aim compa-
nies?
We guess that somebody better think
again.

Cheating Foreign Voters.

Trickery and false statements, es-
pectally among those voters who are
not familiar with our language, mas
go often been resorted to by cons
cienceless politicians in the past that
we ought not to be surprised at any
thing on the part of certain men. But
when the innocent utterance of an
a1ed citizen In neighboring city Is
seized upon by Democratic campaign
ers to distort into thunder against the
Republican party, the limit has been
reached. The man who deliberately
misinterprets the meaning OF ex-
pressions to our foreign citizens should
be reached by the law, on false pre-
tenoes.
The political ward trickster and
character defamer does his dirtiest
work among those citizens who are
handicapped by incomplete grasp of
our printed English. These methods
do not make permanent votes or
friends for a party, and we would ex-
peet that when these things are
brought to the attention of RESPONSE
BILE leaders, a halt will be called.
We do not believe that city of this
size could successfully name officials
to carry on it's business under it's pres
ent charter without the medium of
two parties which would be held re-
sponsible for policies and conduct Of
affairs. But we do believe that is not
only possible but wholly desirable and
is becoming day by day more impera-
tive, that campaigns be conducted
with q spirit of decency and fairness
in keeping with the character and rep
utation of the heads of tickets.

he said. II insist simply on efficiency
loyalty and economy. and their sala-
ries are such as department heads
should draw"
This has an interesting and business
like sound. There is one thing that
must be remembered, however-the
city manager must be selected with
care by somebody who knows how to
pick a high grade man, and he must
have power after he is chosen. 1t would
be easily possible to pick a man TO run
a city who would be a wrecker of its
institutions in due time. and if a good
man Is controlled and held back by
politics the city is also no better off
than under the old forms of transact
ing a city's business.
