ment in the matter, which is very whole
some in questions of government.
Students of Maine High schools are
still coming to Washington on excursions,
but the numbers are fewer and fewer.
The young people here from Maine this
year have been bright lot and have
been very intent upon learning all they
could. Senator Burleigh has made sew
eral trips to the White House to arrange
audiences with the President for these
visitors. Indeed the whole Maine dele
cation has been active in doing every
thing within reason to make the sojourn
of these young visitors pleasant and
profitable. On these excursions the
Maine students have met large numbers
of similar students from New Hamp-
shire and Massachusetts. At times thou
sands of these students have been in
Washington together, filling the local
hotels and boarding houses to the very
roofs.
Advocates of National prohibition in
Maine are making their voices heard at
Washington these days. Hearings have
been in progress recently on proposed
prohibition amendment to the constitu-
ton. The Maine advocates thereof have
been supplerenting these efforts by hum
dreds, if not thousands, of petitions ask
ing that the amendment be favorably
considered. Many of these petitions
have been forwarded to Senator Bur-
leigh. Some of the recent ones have
come from citizens of New Portland,
Lee, North Lebanon, Portland, Manches-
ter, Machiasport, New Sweden, West
Paris, Friendship, Eastport, Lewiston
and Lyman. But that was only one days
grist. All these documents, after pre-
sentation in the Senate, go to the Senate
Committee on judiciary, where they are
on file by the tens of thousands. Maine
may be a little more forward than some
other States in sending in prohibitian Pc
titions, but the other States, all the way
from the Atlantic to the Pacific, are not
very far behind.
Indeed, the opponents of the constltu-
tional amendment for prohibition, are
also active. They are flooding Congress
with petitions that no amendment be al
lowed. Senator Burleigh recently pre-
scented one of these in the form of re-
monstrance from several citizens of Ban
gor against 1.-THE adoption of an amend
ment to the constitution to prohibit the
manufacture, sale and importation of in
toxicating beverages, etc. This, too,
was referred to the Senate Committee
on Judiciary.
Representative McGillicuddy has been
receiving quite batch of these proh'bl-
ton petitions from the second Congress
ional district. He has just presented
petitions from the First Baptist Church
of Nobleboro; from the Park Street
Methodist Episcopal Church OF Lewis
ton and also from citizens of Lewiston;
from the Current Events Club OF Angus
ia; the West Paris Grange, and from
citizens in various parts of his district,
all advocating national prohibition.
1t is unlikely that Congress will submit
the amendment to the State legislatures
at the present session. The Senate
Judiciary Committe is now giving hear
ings, but probably will make no favor
able report on the amendment for the
present. The amendment is not SO far

GREAT CITIES AND HOTEL
BUILDING.

A New York paper points with
satisfaction to the huge and luxurious
hotels that are springing up in the
eastern metropolis. Even visitors
parent prosperity of New York's
hotels.
But the phenomenon in question is
not peculiar to Mammalian. Chicago,
Boston, Philadelphia and other big
and expanding centers of trade,
wealth, education and amusement are
becoming "cities of hotels" The pro-
gress of city, whether material, in
tellectuai or artistic, attracts more
and more travellers, agents, pleasure
seekers and others, and these need
hotel accommodations.
A phenomenon that has not been
sufficiently noticed is the gratifying
peopleization of the hotels which 4
few years back were regarded as the
monopoly of the wealthy that the
pam man VI SIlldil IuedilS Souiu oiiy
admire from the outsider, at the
most, from the lobby, where he could
buy cigar or a newspaper and af-
feet to feel at home. In New York
hotels of this sort now advertise 81
rooms and $3.50 rooms with baths.
There is more profit in full houses
under these low rates than in half
filled houses under higher rates, says
the Record Herald.
Here are exemplifications of the
new freedom and greater equality of
opportunity in unusual forms. If the
rich are being offered more and more
luxuries, the poor are not standing
pat on old and inferior accommoda-
tons. The higher hotels, like the
higher amusements, are being demo-
cratized.

COMMISSION CIV ELS
DECISION ON FREIGHT RAIES

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Jan. 81
The interstate commerce commission
served notice on the railroads today
that, before they will consider grant
ing increased freight rates, it re-
quested the carriers must show they
are requiring reasonable contribu
tions" to their revenues for every
service they perform.
A warning was issued by the COM
mission today in decision declaring
unwarranted the present rules in
vogue on eastern railroads whereby
owners of industrial lines" or short
railroads get rebates for use of their
tracks.
The commission indicated in its re-
port if the roads would discontinue
such rebating practices and show
that thereby their revenues were
shrinking, the commission would
order higher freight rates.
The decision is regarded as the
most important one given out by the
interstate commerce commission for
years.

This committee is not here to bow

The above extract from the speech
made by Congressman Moon indicates
that members of congress are be-
ginning to rebel at presidential dicta-
ton 1t is an even bet that ere the
end of the present session there will
be open conflict between the presi-
dent and congress- Up to date the
president has shown great diplomacy
in handling congress, whipping con-
grcssmen and senator's into line either
through party organization or patro-
mage. However, most men have opin-
ions. They may submit and become
mere puppets for the time being, but
it's a sure thing they are going to
rebel sooner or later and when the
wonm turns, things iwll not be quite
so harmonious. Especially will this
be the case after the next election
when host of congressman will fail
for reelection.

Observations by the Way
(From Mondays Daily.)

The recent gathering of state good
road enthusiasts at Colorado Springs
was undoubtedly the best attended
and the best meeting in the history
of the organization. This may not
be true in point of numbers like the
convention at Pueblo two years ago
and the one at Denver the previous
year where it required numbers to
out vote this or that proposition, but
from standpoint of getting togeth-
err and putting the best foot for
ward, the meeting will go down in
history as the best. There were no
contentious of any sort. All were i'm
bued with the same idea-that of
DrinPing about results. There was no
rivalry over proposed routes. This
matter has been so wisely handled by
the state highway commission with
Tom Ehrhart as the head that no
room was found for complaint True,
some sections thought they should
have more money, but taking it all
in all general good feeling prevail
ed among the $50 bonafide good road
representatives present.
The main interest conferred in how
to provide money for the future 1t
was shown that at the expiration of
the present year the internal improve
ment fund will be expended and with
out some relief after that the high
way commission will find itself with
out funds to carry on the good WORK
The report of the secretary the en-
gineer of the commission showed an
expenditure for the year of around
100000, some of the funds appropri-
ated not having been used. From all
sources the commission will have
something like 100000 for the pres
ent year. The report of the COM
mission indicated that special atten-
ton will be given to making connect
ing links on through state highways.
Special attention was called to the
necessity for completing the road be-
tween the San Luis valley and Pa
gosa Springs, and between Durango
Silverton and Ouray. These recon-
mendations came among the, first
mentioned in the report. A few others
were referred to, but from the re-
port it is evident that the commits
sion has this work in mind which
means much for this southwest sec
ton. In conversing with members of
the commission the fact was brought
out that the interest displayed by
the people along the route of the
Spanish Trail-Grand Canon highway
had much to do with the desire of
the commission to make the eonnec-
tons above referred to the coming
year in order to be in shape to hand
lie the auto travel to California in
1915 which is estimated will reach
from 10000 to 100000 cars, this
number making the cross country trip
to the Panama expositions east of the
Missouri river. While Colorado will
not be visited by all auto tourists

President Wilson't antitrust mes
sage is probably received with more
encouragement chan any delivered by
the Sage OF Princeton. The message
is conservative, at the same time
points out the necessity OF proper leg
islation. The result OF the new iegis-
lation will be problematical. So tai
trust prosecutions have resulted dis
asterousiy for the people. No law will
prove success that does not provide
for Imprisonment in preference to
fines. Trust magnates are not ad-
verse to paying fines with the other
fellows money but they are not anN-
ious TO go to jail for the other fel-
low.

In antitrust law Legislation it is to
be hoped that destructive competi-
ton viii be provided for. The laws
regulating trusts have been lame in
this Respect: 1t permitted corpo-
rations in order to drive out compe-
tition to cut prices at certain points
below cost and after busting compe-
tition, increase its charges TO make
up the loss. This has been a COM
mon practice OF the Standard Oil octo-
pus. We've known OF instances where
independent companies shipped oil in
TO Durango some years ago and were
unable to dispose of 1t because the
Standard interests would cut prices
below the cost of production until
the independents and independent
dealers stopped handling COMPETE
tive products.
