CLAPP PREDICTS
TWO NEW PARTIES
Declares That They Will Be
Known as the Liberals and
Conservatives in Future.

BANGOR. Me-. March 24.-The state
convention of the progressires of this
state was held here today.
Two great parties. one conservative and
the other liberal. will result from the
political realgnmcnt now in progress in
this country. declared Senator Moses l..
Clapp. in a speech to the convention.
There is no fundamental line of de-
marcation between the republican and
democratic parties at present, he said.
land pending the inevitable new align
ments l urge you to stand firm for pro-
gressive principles.
I'm free government political parties
always have and always will come into
being as a protest against the inability
of existing parties to meet conditions as
they develop.
THE name of the democratic party. as
applied to political party. has always
been a misnomer. The party has never
been democratic. 1t has always involved
the idea that few men shall dictate the
purposes and policies to the many.
THE republican party. in its inception.
was based upon the broad principle that
government if for all. must be by all.
1t was the abandonment of this principle
under Mr.. Taft that led to the ruin Of
the party.

it than could the republican party. Much

THOUSAND SHARE LOT
TRADED ON EXCHANGE
Big Block of Railway and Electric
Common Stock Brings
Eighty-Nine.

One, thousand shares of Washington
Railway and Electric common stock sold
on the local exchange today at 81. It
was purchased by the principal trader in
the stock, who promptly bid 50 for
another lot of the same size or any part
thereof. For a quotation lot of - shares
he paid 80. The bid at the close was S9l2
and the stock was offered at 81.
The sale of the 1.OOo-share block of
stock was the feature of the session. and
furnished the chief topic of conversation.
Reminds me of the old days re-
marked one broker who was a member
of the exchange at a time when large
lots were traded more frequently than
they are now.
The preferred stock sold to the eX-
tent of eight shares at 81 which was
the closing bid. The principal trader in
the railway and electric securities was
willing to take any quantity at that
part of 1000 shares. No such block was
offered. and the bid accordingly was
withdrawn.
A total of $50 shares of Washington
Gas stock sold at s. and more was
to be had at that price at the close
The bid at that time was S2ls.

Dividing Line of the Future.

The question now arises. What of the
future? Prior to 1912, We had in this
country the grotesque spectacle of two
great political parties. not with broad
line of demarcation running between
them, but basic fundamental line run
ming through them.
Sooner or later we will have this gro
tesque spectacle removed and will have
two great parties one a conservative or
reactionary party. the other liberal or
progressive.
1T is idle to talk of resuscitatins the
republican party If under the splendid
leadership of Col. Roosevelt the republic
can party could not be permanently re-
stored to its oldtime visor or purposes
it is idle to talk of such restoration
when the great body Of the progressive
element has permanently left the party.

CHIEF CAUSES OF FATIGUE
Bad Ventilation and Altitude Are the
Main Factors in Producing h
Depression.

Fatigue is caused by anything that
interferes with the carrying of oxygen
to the tissues. This may be a dimln-
ished amount of oxygen in the at
mosphere, diminished carrying power
of the blood, diminished lung capacity
or interference with the circulation OF
the blood.
The two factors which relate espe-
cially to diminished amount of oxygen
in the atmosphere are bad ventilation
and altitude. The main effect OF bad
ventilation, especially where there are
a number of people in a room, is to in
e the humidity. The detrimental
effect of this humidity is of more i'm
portance than any diminishing of oxy-
gen or increase in carbon dioxide.
In industry one is more concerned,
however, with the diminished oxygen
carrying power Of the blood Anemia
is produced by a variety of causes.
among which are deficient light, insult.
ficient iron in the blood, insufficient
variety of food, irregularity of the
bowels, as the sequel of disease (par-
tieularIy infectious diseases) and of
metal poison, such as lead. So, work
ing at night or in dark buildings or
dark rooms is injurious to the blood.

Mulberries Replace Opium.

An interesting report m from
some districts in Szechuan. 1t is stated
that in place of the poppy formerly
grown there mulberry and cotton
plauts are being sown. The fact Is
significant, for it indicates clearly that
the farmers have realized that there
is no further chance of sowing poppy
and that they may as well recognize
at once the necessity for planting the
land with other crops. The planting
of mulberry will be an expensive pro-
cess, and when nee the land is de-
voted to mulberry it will be a still
more expensive process reverting, or
attempting to revert, to poppy. The
province of SZechuan produces excel
lent silk. and from the economic point
of view sericulture will in the long run
be q much more productive industry
than the culture of the poppy. The
whole movement is highly significant
and is a conclusive answer to those
who doubt the good faith of the Chi
nese in respect to this campaign.
When the farmers themselves decide
that the game is up, then the game Is
up indeed.

Seems to Be Done in a Really
Clever Manner.

A spring crop of striking posters is
sued by the London electric railway to
advertise it's underground, surface a
and bus transit facilities shows that
there is no end to the combined clev-
erness and ability Of the London art
list and the company's traffic depart

One of the new and original concep-
lions is to devote an entire design to
some one famous person and n To-
cality where he was born or with
which he was in some way intimately
connected. Those reproduced are Gen
eral Wolfe, who lost his life at the
battle of Quebec, in the French and
Indian war; Izaak Walton. author OF

Dick Turpin, the famous highwayman,
who made Hounslow heath his particu-
lar hunting ground. The Great Un-
known" of the last picture is appar-
emily the really oldest inhabitant OF
Ch~islehurst, in fact a man OF the stone
age. Englishmen, of course, have many
more historical associations about
places than is possible in a newer

Whereas the whole North Atlantic

the New Hampshire in 1911 demol-

of over six miles in about the time it
takes to tell of it; at that range, with
conditions of temperature, atmo-
sphere, s%teadiness of platform, skill
Of g~un-pointers, ETC., all perfect, 43
per cent of hits would be par GOLF
whereas examination showed 33 per
cent of certain hits, and the examin-
ing board stated that so much of the
ship was shot away that the other
ten per cent between this and per-
lection might easily have been there;
during the last battle practice" the
feet scored about 95 per cent of hits;
in 1896 one shot a minute from a six
inch gun was good Work; today we
fire eight a minute; even at the vast
range of seven to eight miles (almost
double what is usual in other navies)
our gunners expect to reach their
mark with one out of every three
shots; and we have such records as
that of the Pinch guns in n of the
