Political Notes of
Common Interest.

Old DlIlS amounting TO $zZ, ,o4o.zZ were
left by the Democraticc .administra-
tion OF the State Forestry department
when that. department was turned over
to the present commissioner, Hon.
Blaine S. Viles, a year ago. The sum
of 15,507 SO was left to pay these bills
with. The deficit was $7,33S.63. These
old bills have all been paid, the expen-'
ses of the department met promptly
during the year 1913 and $S,11S.23 was
left at the end of the year. A very
small sum will be deducted from this
balance on account of abatement and
uncollected taxes.
More than 300 fires were reported
during the season, but an efficient fire
fighting force prevented large losses.
What this efficiency means to the State
of Maine is shown in the report that
in the Forestry District comprising g.
467, 773 acres 303 fires burned over S,92S
acres and caused a loss of S26,326.
Outside the district incomplete returns
show that in forests comprising 1884,
125 accres 102 fires burned over 20,S57
acres and caused a loss of $14S, 265. The
amount Of money that is saved by
lower tax rate is not the only saving
made by this administration. Efficient
conduct of the States affairs is the
best kind of economy.
"Kineo' in a recent article in the
Boston Herald, points out the fact
that w. r. Pattangall, Samuel W.
Gould and Edgar F. Hanson did not
attend the Democratic pow-pow at
on nd ct
that their absence eloquently empha-
sized the big split in the Democracy of
the State.
The present Republican administra-
tion of State affairs reflects great
credit on the men responsible for it,
Business methods have been used in
all departments Running the States
affairs by the laws and oaths Of office
continues satisfactory.
The announcement that Congressman
Asher Kinds win not be a candidate
for reelection in the First district was
received with expressions Of regret by
every Republican in Cumberland ana
York counties as Mr.. Kinds has
made most enviable record in public
life. The only candidate to succeed
him who has yet announced himself
is Col Frederick Hale of Portland.
the efficient Maine member of the Re-
publican National Committee.
The impatience of criticism exhibi-
ted by Pres. Wilson and his cabinet
confirms suspicious that they are
small bore statesmen. Criticism of the
Philippines policy by the men who
had been there and knew the country
drew a scolding from the politicians
and a change in assignment for some
of the naval officers.

Washington, October S.-"Thcrc is
Il silver lining TO the cloud which
hangs over the market for cotton and
cOtton-sccd products" said President
Harrison OF Southern Railway Com
pany today, conc OF the great advan-
tages OF the South for the production
OF beef and for the dairy industry is
in the use OF cotton-sced meal and
hrlls as parts Of balanced ration
for dairy COWS and for fattcning cat
tie for market. Under normal condi-
tons very large proportion of the
cottoD-seed meal and hulls produced
in the South is Gxported-Germany
Belgium, and Holland being particu-
larly large users Of these products
The war in Europe will greatly di-
minish exports to these countries and
as result prices Of both meal and hulls
are now abnormally low.
"This condition offers the South
ern farmer an opportunity to rccoup
himself for some part OF his loss due
to the low prices paid for cotton and
| cotton-seed. BY feeding meal and hulls
| in proper proportion with other feeds
| to dairy and beef cattle, he can secure
| a direct profit from these cattle and
at the same time have supply Of ma
nurc for building up the productivity
OF his farm.
1T has long been apparent that the
! weakest point in agriculture in the
cotton belt has been the neglect of
| live stock. The farmers OF that re-
gion have an unusual opportunity. If
they arc to make the most OF it. as
! long as present conditions continue,

tie from the cotton belt OF the South

or for dairy purposes and many farm
ers may find it profitable to buy beef

The South is in danger Of Mysteries.
The temporary inability to sell its
cotton crop at a profit is resulting in
more alarm than is necessary The
statement that unless this, that or the
othcr thing is done the South will be
bankrupt, Is absolutely absurd. For
the last five or six years cotton grow

on the business solidity Of the South.
Hundreds of thousands Of holders OF
securities Of all kinds throughout this
country are seeing depreciation in the
value Of their securities far greater
than the total loss Of the cotton crop
of the South even If this years crop
were worth only one-half of last
years crop, and such a decline as that
Is, Of course, wholly unnecessary and
improbable. Hundreds OF millions of
dollars Of securities upon which the
owners have depended for dividends
on which to live, are now paying no
dividends, and the holders of securi-

In the South can do, what the haltng

affects the growers and the business

realize that throuhgout the country
there are many thousands OF men and
women out OF employment as result
OF the war who are without income and
who have not the same advantagcs0t 0to

1t got last year. is not measuring up
to the situation.
Fortunately this is not the spirit of
the South and these people do not voice
the real South. 1t is time that the
public should hear from those who
have faith in themselves, faith in their
ability to master the situation, faith
in the ability OF the South to meet the
temporary adverse conditions, to hear
from men who are not affrightcd by
every storm, and who know from ex-
perencc what 1t Is to make every ad-
verse condition a stepping stone to
higher things. Let the voice OF this
South be heard, and let the men OF the
South who want to be counted as real
men show by their actions that they
deserve to march in the front rank of
the army Of the unafraid.
During the recent years OF increas-
ing prosperity the people of the South
have hardly given to religious activi-
ties of all kinds that degree of earn
est work and liberal contributions
which God had demanded of them. We
have all been much absorbed in the
money Imaking opportunities or, the
pleasure-giving experiences Of he
times. Flushed with rapidly incrcas-
! ing material development the South
has to a considerable extent, in keep
ing, however with the rest OF the
country. been developing tendencies
of extravaganza and of waste that
needed to be checked.
1t is unfortunate that these tcnden-
cies should have to be checked by the
appalling conditions existing in Eu-
rope; and yet iIuropo's awful war has
brought us face to face with situa-
tion that demands the earnest, prayer
full thought of every one.
J The South has faced trials and trib-
ulations and poverty in the past and
! it has met them with hcroism Like
tho Confederate soldier of old, who
many time had TO buckle his belt a
I little tighter in order to make his
stomache forget the absence Of food,
the South in other days when trials
came upon 1t, buckled the belt lit
tie tighter, learned to grin and bear
| 1t, and out OF apparent disaster won
victory. 1t needs to do this now. All
OF us have to learn these lessons soon
er or later and few Of us ever cs-
cape individually the experience which
the South as whole Is passing
through. The way in which the indi-
vidual meets these conditions proves
whether he has strength Of character
J ard backbone to conquer them. or
whether he is a wealkling and IS con-
quered by them. The same thing is
true Of a section or nation.
