were less numerous. He is careful

speed.

This Is so irritating that many men
will not turn until the last possible
moment. Then slight miscalculation,

Automobiles have this year reached
the point where If handled with some
Judgment. they are as inexpensive as
horse and carriage. The isolation
of the farm IL broken, a source of
pleasure, health, and profit, wider

But for careful people, much of this

Presidents policies against their con-
viction. This was particularly true
on the tariff bill, notably with respect
to the sugar and wool schedules. 1T
was true also on the Panama tolls
bill: likewise in large degree on the
banking and currency bill, and to
some extent on certain features II
the antitrust legislation.
1t will be recalled that the party
lash had to be applied in caucus, and
men stood up and virtually sang their
swan songs as they announced that
they would yield to the Presidents
desires while realizing in so doing
they would sacrifice all hope of re-
election.
Thus the friends of the President in
the House and Senate while urging
the woeful ones to cheer up and be Of
good countenance, took on RESPONSE
bilities. as the lame ducks claim,
which must be met by the President.
There is certain to be a great scrarn-
BILE among the lame ducks for salts
faction and the situation Is accentu-
ated by the fact that the President
has not much patronage at his dis
posal.
He has used far more than half at
his command, while his administra-
ton is but half over and there is work
yet to be done. In the next Congress
more independence of spirit is expect
ed, and the soothing effect of patron
age will be exceedingly valuable to al
lay irritation and to put down actual
rebellion.

Business Has Reasons for Hope.

Incoming Republicans to Congress
Washington advices are right, Some
of them are glad because the landslide
did not completely overturn the
Democratic control They prefer that
the majority should be reduced to such
a point as to put the fear into the
hearts of the opposition and yet leave
the Democrats in control and invest
them with the responsibility which
that control incurs.
In the next Congress it will be hay
making time for the Republicans look
ing forward to 1916. The majority Of
the dominant party will be so close as
to enable the Republicans to harry
them all the time. and all legislation
will be charged UP to the party in
control. and an accounting therefore
demanded at the polls.
On the other hand there can De lit
tie doubt that the elections have
taught the administration to be eau
tious. The solemn warning of the
ballots has put the brake on radical
legislation, it is to be hoped and ex-
pected Business circles are begin
ming to perk up and pick out the
loose feathers in readiness for dash
for the first worm of the new indus
trial day. It is a pluming process
which may result in better conditions

a pronounced increase in optimism,
chiefly on the conviction that Con-
gress can no longer be dashed into
submission against it's judgment.

Time would fail us to point out the
real prohibition fanatics. They are to
be found in such unexpected places.
The trainers of prize fighters are
among the worst They will not allow
any indulgence to the poor fellows
they are training for the ring. They
declare that total abstinence is neces-
sary to physical condition and great
endurance. The trainers of football
squads have the same perverted notion.

have discharged man who patronize

be preserved in the interest of business
SO great is the confession of fanaticism
when once it gets a, foothold that there
are some fanatical prohibitionists Of
the extreme type among the SALOON
keepers-that is to say. they will not
allow their bartenders to drink. 1t
is like measles or smallpox. no one can
tell who will be infected next and one
of the worst features Of the whole
case lies in the fact that many of the
fanatics do not seem to realize that
they are the victims of the dread dis
ease of prohibition.
The Real Prohibition Fanatics.
All of which is intended to illustrate
what was said in the beginning, that
the real prohibition fanatics are not
the biggoted preachers, the ignorant
women, the hypocritical reformers,
the cranky third-party voters, or even
the majorities which forbid the manu-
facture and the sale of Intoxicating
liquors in ten of our states. The gen.
uine fanatics are these people who, in
increasing numbers for various rea-
sons, insist that men shall not drink
under such penalties as they are able
to visit upon them. The rapid increase
in the numbers OF these fanatics Ii
cause for alarm-in certain quarters.

Something Is Wrong"

Maine apple growers are not the
sion of buyers. A New York ex-
change has the following, editorially:
There comes from apple growers up
the State complaint of being at the
mercy of the buyers, who seem to
work in concert and who are appar-
emily able to turn the State law regu-
lating the standard packing of apples
against the growers in favor of the
buyers. This is said to result IN
prices which hardly cover the bare
costs of production and in prices Of
ten less than half what are COM
manded in the consuming markets.
To people raised in the Northeast
ern United States there is no fruit
superior to the apple in taste and sub
stance and variety of use. Nor are
any apples grown quite equal in dell
cacy of favor to those grown in this
section, while for quantity New York
State alone produces more than does
all the country west of the Missouri
River. Yet New York City common
ly gets the poorest of this production
and the best goes far yafield to Europe
or to the South. Will it be said that
the city does not know what good
apple is, or must it be said that the
distribution of the crop is manipulate
ed in the interests Of the buyers?
We are at the same time flooded
with this fruit from the Pacific North
west. 1t is wonderful in size AMI
glorious in coloring and magnificent in
price. But when it comes to texture
and flavor. others may sing its glories,
but no Fastener whose taste has
been cultivated in the school Of home
experience will echo the song. Yet
we are denied the best of our own
superior fruit and have the other
forced upon us.
Something Is wrong somewhere
both for our growers and consumers.
What is it? Have the New York
State apple growers anything to learn
from the Florida orange growers, who
no longer pick and market their
product individually but through CO.
operative associations?

Precisely! and, as we have often

Maine Gossip

Here is something expressive of
how the Bethel correspondent Of the
Rumford Falls Times was feeling
when he scrubbed his weekly letter:
Farmers are hauling apples and
potatoes to market. and some to the
cider mill. We can remember when
there were fifteen or twenty barrels OF
cider in our porch cellar at South
Paris, and We kids would With a straw
suck 1t out of the bung-hole when
sweet. No cider so good now. No
food so good as porridge when we re-
turned from school for supper, with
brown bread baked by mother in the
brick oven.
Mrs. A. A. Kendall has notified the
board of directors Of Opportunity
Farm that she wishes to resign from
the presidency of that organization.
Mrs. Kendall has been president Of
the society since it's inception and has
labored increasingly for the benefit of
the farm, but other cares demand all
of her time and attention. Opportunity
Farm is part OF the patriotic work
of the Daughters OF the American
Revolution, for they not only endorsed
the movement, but have substantially
aided in the raising Of funds. Mrs.
Kendall's resignation has not been
accepted, but the matter has been
placed in the hands of a committee to
report in about two weeks.

Our Duty Is Plain.

Said an Augusta business man,
Monday. Il am not so clear that 1t Is
our duty to give too much attention
to the suffering in Europe. There's
a great problem for charity right here
at home. Even up here in Maine,
where we are as free from the BUSH
ness depression as is any spot in the
country, there is bound to be real suf-
fering before the winter is over.
met a big, able-bolied man yesterday
who told me that he had hunted for
work everywhere he could think of or
reach. and the prospect for coming
months was dark"
Now that elections are over it is no
longer calamity bowling to mention
the sad facts. Because of industrial
conditions, extraordinary prices, and
fear of the administration, hundreds
of thousands of poor people, the fami-
lies of day laborers, particularly in
the great cities, are facing hardships
of untold proportions. Here is Just a
glimpse at the conditions existing III
all the great cities and in hundreds of
smaller cities and towns. 1t Is the
letter of H. H. Schlacht, superin-
tendent Of the East Side Protective
Assn, New York city, to New York
newspaper:
! am informed by the juveline police
of this association that thousands of
children in the public schools are actually
starving for want of food
Millions are spent to supply the famish-
ing across the sea with food and shelter
and not penny is given to aid the mis-
cradle and distressed in our own home
town. ! do not know of conditions in
other sections of the city, but as for my
own east side, I have never in all my life
observed conditions so intolerable among
the poor and the needy. The recent bank
failures have indeed added to their mis-
cry and placed them in an awful plight
Eighty thousand families have been re-
dueed to penury and want. School chill
dren are the greatest sufferers. There is
crying need for prompt and decisive
action to relieve the hunger of the chill
dren.
The School-Lunch Association supplies
children in one or two schools on the
east side at a very liberal price. but what
80 srlall2 Is the child then to starve?
We are approaching a bitter winter.
Will the proud people of this wealthiest
city in the world view in silence this con-
dition? I appeal to the newspapers to
urge on a movement 10 silence the cry of
hunger and make glad the hearts of the
future citizenship of our country.
We cannot. even considering these
facts, fully agree with the Augusta
gentleman first quoted. We say:
Give for the Belgians and give for
our own poor also. Undoubtedly the
demands upon those who are able to
give are to be ten times as great as
in an ordinary year. but they should
be met. There lies Christian duty
TO help suffering humanity. far and
near.
