Our Readiness for War.

: 1t has been many years since the
country was so well prepared for war.
in one way, as it is today. That is,
rot since the early nineties have there
been so many men in the country with
nothing else to do. The army feeds
we'll and regularly, and thousands of
hungry idle would gladly respond to a
call for fighters. The amy furnishes
clothing, tents and blankets. and
homeless hordes would hastily accept
the invitation to earn respectable ex-
istence.
War would reduce the growing army
OF unemployed. and the war appropri-
alton would pay for increased business
'sin railway traffic and army supplies.
Hard times" would be forgotten in
the pastime Of war talk. The Boston
Transcript says:
From all parts of the country there
are rnurmurings over the condition of
business There is plenty of business
that might be done and needs TO be
kiAouEdIius ave eager en-
gage in it, but are afraid to. Enter
prise and capital are impatiently
awaiting their opportunity, but over
every opening that would ordinarily
seem promising there appears to be
written: mo thoroughfares." a writer
In the Chicago Daily News of April &c
groups some very good reasons loI

paralysis. He gays that very de.

of two or three cities in the South
and Southwest that show slight gains.
There are many other indications
that the volume of business has been
reduced to a deplorable if not an
alarming extent. According to the fig
ures given by the American Railway
Association. upon the LIST of last jan
uary the number OF idle freight cars
was 1SSs50. as compared with 7.05S
upon the same date in 1918, and upon
the 18th of last month these idlers had
increased to 212,S $50, with more in pros
poet. What is the cause OF this, asks
the writer, and his answer is, Tack of
confidence" This vital lack is based
upon tariff reductions, the uncertainty
of the new banking laws, continued
threats of Congress and the Admins
tration to further investigate and leg
isIate, but most of all has the action
of the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion in the question of the increase of

Lying Makes the Traffic Prosperous

The Boston papers all unite IN lying
about Maine and the liquor traffic in
this state. No doubt they are Well
paid for their ISLANDERS. A yellow puo-
lication known as Truth" recently
; disccursed on the amount and quaiity
of booze used in Maine. AS most of
our booze comes from Massachusetts,
it is presumably of the same quality
as that used by the Truth man. II
the Truth" man will stop to think,
that practically all the liquor used in
Maine is smuggled In by autos, motor
boats and in trunks as baggage he
will realize the nonsense of saying that
any large amount is; used In Maine.
Considering the desperate efforts made
to increase the trade here, the amount
used ia very small. If the heartless
devils who flood the mails with circu-
lars could be headed off in some way
still less would be used here. AS a
matter of fact outside of Knox and
Penobscot, where high license pre-
walls, LIQUOR laws are better enforced
than the laws against other offences,
Our prohibitory law is far better en-
forced than Boston's license law. Re-
suits prove it. 1t is safer to rob a man
on the street in Boston than to sell a
pint of booze in the greater part yof
Maine.
