First step In Reorganization of East
ern Steamship Co.
The first legal step in plan for the re-
organization of the Eastern Steamship
Corporation, one OF the subsidiaries OF
the New York, New Haven & Hartford
group Of corporations, which operates q
half-dozen steamship lines along the
North Atlantic coast, was taken in the
United States circuit court at Portland,
Friday when a creditors bill asking for
the appointment OF receivers was filed.
The action is said to be friendly pro-
ceeding for the benefit of all the creditors,
and in which the larger interests Of the
corporation are said to concur and may
join later.
According to officials Of the company,
atmospheric conditions during the sum-
mer were unfavora BILE to business, fog and
cold weather cutting down passenger re-
ceipts greatly. In common with other
transportation interests, it is said, the
company has been faced by constantly in
creasing expenses in every department.
In particular the requirements which
have been forced as result of the Titanic
disaster relating to the number Of life
boats and restrictions as to the number Of
persons carried are said to have interfered
with the earning capacity Of the boats.

The Elections.

Elections were held yesterday in
many states. Sweeping republican
gains throughout the country regis
tered the dissatisfaction of the voters
with the democratic administration.
The fatal slump in the progressive
vote, which Is reduced to an almost
negligible quantity, is the other big
feature of the elections.
The democrats find a grain of COM
fort in the reelection of Governor
Walsh, of Massachusetts,, and the
fact that they will retain control of
Congress to the end of President Will
sons administration, though by greatly
reduced majority in the House. The
Senate will remain practically un-
changed.
The climax of the republican vic
tory was reached in New York state,
where Whitman, republican, was
elected by an overwhelming majority.
President Wilson's own state, New
Jersey, shows big republican gains,
and his home congressional district
returns republican in place of a
democrat. "Do it for Wilson, was
the campaign slogan OF the New Jer-
sey democrats, which the republicans
revised to ado it to Wilson,.

WEST FRANKLIN.
OBITUARY.

The death OF Charles E. Butler, at his
home on the Pond road, marks the pass
ing OF a citizen who will be missed by all
with whom he came in contact. The
writer has known him personally for
many years, and has employed him in
many capacities, largely as surveyor Of
lumber.
He was q man OF strong convictions, but
unswervingly honest, in what he believed
was right. He read much, and was Q keen
judge Of men and affairs. For many years
he had been the West franklin correspon-
dent OF THE AMERICAN. He wrote in q
style peculiarly his own, and reported
news as he knew Ii.
He never sought public Office, but had
served on the school board and as collector
OF taxes. He was man of excellent ideas,
and made reading and observation take
the place in part OF education which was
limited in his school days.
He leaves besides his wife one SON,
Charles Eugene, engineer OF lightship No.
70, and . daughter, Gladys.

Postal Savings.

The war in Europe is proving big boon
to postal savings 10 this country. From
the very day hostilities opened across the
seas postal-savings receipts began to in
crease and Withdrawals fell of. Thous-
ands of people, largely OF foreign brit b,
accustomed to send their savings abroad,
are now patrons OF the postal-savings.
The growth OF postal-savings In the
United States has been steady and healthy.
On July /, when Affairs were running
smoothly here and abroad, and the trans
mission OF money across the Atlantic was
safe and expeditions, there were approxi-
mately $43 000, 900 Of postal savings stand
ing to the credit OF about $500 deposit
tors. Since then over 100000 600 OF de-
posits have been added. and the number
OF depositors has increased enormously.
The net gain in the last three months is
larger than the gain for the entire fiscal
year 1914.

Maine Apple Growers.
boston Heraid.I

Boston Herald
The apple-growers in Maine, one of the
leading apple States OF the Union, have
q grievance against the buyers and the
world in general. They complain that
the buyers who gather in carload lots at
every four corners have manufactured q
scare out OF the war and have forced down
prices without reason. II appears that ap-
Piles for which the orchardists are getting
only q to f1.50 9 barrel-and the barrel
itself costs the orchardist about 40 cents
are selling in Boston at g to p q barrel.
Also that the same high prices prevail in
the English market, which seeks more
apples rather than fewer this year, and
that the German market, which is the
only foreign market shut on by the war,
cuts little OF no figure in the American
apple crop.
But il the depressed prices at the
orchard and in the farmhouse cellar are
without good reason, the apple-grower in
Maine has the remedy in his own hands.
II he does not want to take his apples to
the big city market himself, as an indi-
vidual or in cooperation with his neigh
bors, be can apparently make good money
by meeting the demands Of the neglected
market in the nearby Maine cities. With
many thousands of barrels of high grade
apples left in the orchards only q few
miles away, all the larger Maine cities are
to-day offering for sale Pacific coast and
Northwestern apples, often inferior in
quality to the wasting Maine fruit, but
gaining purchasers by being neatly
wrapped in tissue and attractively dis
played in small boxes. 1t is the same in
our Massachusetts, cities.
The lesson is plain enough. A big and
growing market is at the door of the
orchardist, and il he let's the grower 1900
| miles away steal the market from him, he
is simply lacking in enterprise. No part
of the world can raise better apples than
New England. Ia it too big problem to
pack the apples properly and to market
them intelligently and fairly?

A good education will teach us how
to work. Much education has been
taken as showing Us way to avoid
work. The biggest thing about school
life has been vacation tims. The
pupils have gotten the conviction
that If they trained their brains suf-
sficiently they would not have to use
their hands. They have been made
to feel in some subtle way that labor
ing people are to be despised by "suc-
cessful' people. The newer educa-
tion recognizes work as the basis of
life. 1t seeks to equalize the burdens
of the worlds work and is also in
terested in equalizing the gains of
the worlds work. 1t trains workers,
not shirkers. Christian Herald.

What great economic principle to-
day separates the republican and pro-
gressive partiesY II we are honest,
and ignore the bitterness which
earlier contests for these principles
engendered, and Danish the intoler-
ance which mas unfortunately charac-
terized the extremists of both the
reactionary and the progressive
schools, we must admit there is no
compelling division on any great
question. And ii we admit this we
pretty satisfactorily answer the ques-
ton as to why the progressives are so

From primeval orbs when beginning the race
