Democrats had blundered. Potatoes can

they can be brought in from Maine, and
the flood gates being opened the future
Of the Maine potato industry was seri-
ously threatened. At this juncture when
the consequences of their poor philosophy
threatened to bring down the maledic-
tons of American farmers everywhere,
the department of agriculture discovered
the potato scab and Immediately the
quarantine has set up against the foreign
potato flood. 1t was stroke of Temporal
ry good fortune. 1t has helped to save
the face of Democratic party and the
potato question, but it can scarcely be
attributed to craftsmanship for 1t has
neither reduced the cost of potatoes to
the consumer nor given the farmer more
than temporary protection against the
vicious free trade law which still makes
uncertain the ultimate base of the man
who has tua'ned the forests of Maine into
fertile farm lands and who has so much
at stake in the success of the potato
crop"
ued Mr.. Moore, the Maine farmer Is
at financial disadvantage. The add
ministration has laid aside an appro-
priation of $4,000 to inspect the pota-
toes of Maine before they leave the
State. They are temporarily protect
ed against the foreign scab, or wart,
but they themselves must stand in
spection before their own potatoes
pass muster. The $4,000 of govern
ment money being insufficient to COM
plete the inspection of this years crop
the shippers will be obliged to raise
an additional $4,000 to get their po-
tatoes out. This Of course will be a
hardship"
Being asked about hte so-called
war tax" Congressman Moore, who
is a member of hte committee on WAYS
and means, said:
When / left Washington the Dem
ocratic leaders were talking about a
war tax" You have got to find some
excuse for bad bargain and a war
tax sounds just as good to the Dem
ocrats as any other term. The truth is
the Democrats have been grossly ex-
travagant and have failed to raise
enough revenue to meet the neds of
the government They have been in
power II months but they have made
an awful fist of it and now the peo-
pie must pay the bill. The Republican
balance in the treasury when Mr. Will
son became President was upwards OF
$50, 00o, 900 Now it is admitted that we
are at least 500, 900, 900 short That's a
pretty big slump in II months: but the
people will soon know how the Presi-
dent and the party leaders propose to
do it. 1t has been suggested that a
stamp tax may be resorted to, or that
we may have TO impose it on sugar.
You remember the Democrats reoyed
hte sugar duty to decrease the price
| of sugar. Sugar was then about Az
cents pound. now it is twice as much.
Meanwhile the government has lost
the sugar duty and the sugar import
ers have pocketed it,

The skirmsh shoot was arranged by
Capt. Merriam and Serg. Squires, both
members of the regular army, to give
the national guardsmen a taste of real
battle conditions so far as it is possible
to make target practice conform tc
those conditions
The targets were silhouettes of men
so arranged that they scurried across
the field just as skirmishers would
when sent out to start up the enemy
or when falling back before an attack
up as riflemen would when taking
shots at the enemy.
The guardsmen were obliged to hit
these moving targets and no two rife
men on the same team were to hit the
same target on the ground that il
takes but one shot to stop a man and
more is a waste of ammunition.
The match was for a silver loving
cup which has to be won three years
before it becomes the property of the
company winning it, Following. the
regular match yesterday a special 1000
yard shoot was arranged. In this shoot
the target was the silhouette of mar
walking back and forth as if on guard
duty. Two men from each company
shot at this target. One hit was made
by Mechanic Stevens of the 3rd Co.
and one by either Capt. Reed of the
Sth Co. or Sergt. Washburn of the 9th
Co. The official score gives the hit
to Sergt. Washburn but one of the tar

BROWNS $4,000
FIRE LOSS DUE
TO JOY-RIDERS

Houlten, Me, Oct. 11.-That the fire
which destroyed the buildings of Joseph
Smith. two and a half miles from town,
early Tuesday, doing $4,000 damages,
was the result of the visit of a party
of automobilists, who had been joy
riding, to one of his outbuildings. is the
charge made by Mr.. Brown. AS re-
suit of his story Joseph Cyr has been
arrested on a nuisance warrant and
bound over to await the action of the
grand Jury next month. His bonds
were fixed at $500 by Judge Carroll in
the municipal court. He was unable
to furnish bail and was sent to a cell
in the county jail here.
Mr.. Brown declares that party OF
we'll known Houlton characters passed
his place in an automobile shortly be-
fore the fire broke out. He also claims
that members of the party visited his
chicken roost for the purpose of Sc
curing a bird for a midnight meal.
The fire started in the end of one of
the barns and Mr.. Brown declares
that, when he was first aroused by the
flames and came out of the house, he
saw members of the midnight auto
mobile party coming out of the barn
where the fire started.
Joseph Cyr, who has been bound
over to the grand jury in connection
with the case, lives up the road a
short distance from the burned Brown
building, and the warrant charges
him with keeping a nuisance. The
evidence in the case will be presented
to the grand jury which meets here
on Tuesday. Nov. IT.
Althouh Mr. Brown estimates his
loss at $4,000, he had but $4,000 in
suranee. The house was large two
and "a half story structure, and was
entirely destroyed, together with $500
barrels of potatoes, 1000 bushels of
grain and so tons of hay. He had sold
many of his potatoes to the expert
mental farm and was to have begun
shipping this week His potato house
was saved, as was a large new barn.

hardened or who have high blood pres
