Why Jones Was Not Approved.

Much has been said about President
Wilson's holding Congress in session
through the summer to finish his trust
program. The trust bills are in the
Senate for action, but they been lying
there without action while Mr. Wilson
has taken up a great many days of
the Senates time attempting to force
through the confirmation of Thomas
d. Jones as member of the Banking
and Currency Reserve Board. The Sem
ate did not approve of Mr.. Jones.
Why? Here's why:
He was the second heaviest contrib
utor to the Democratic campaign fund,
his contribution being $4,000.
He is a dummy director of the In
ternational Harvester Company
His company was denounced by
name in the report of the Underwood
tariff bill
1t is being prosecuted under the an
THRUST laws and Mr.. Jones himself is
a personal defendant in that suit
He personally approved of all the
doings Of that great trust.
The International Harvester Co. has
been raising its prices, while grain
Prices have been going down.
The great agricultural section of this
country thinks some farmer, banker,
lawyer, merchant, or manufacturer
might have been found who was not a
director in the organization of the
most oppressive enemy Of agriculture
and the American farmer.
The President talking antitrust leg
islation and at the same time trying
to foist upon the country the instru-
ment of one of the greatest trusts and
being beaten in his attempt was like
the bank burglar who, after having
bound and gagged the cashier looted
the bank, but tarried to render a hon.
lily TO the cashier on honesty. He tar
ried too long, however, and was
caught with the goods. Mr.. Jones was
not confirmed. The fight against him
by the representatives of the great
farming section was too hot and he
withdrew and thus President Wilson
was defeated in his first fight with
Democrats in the Senate. 1T is a
matter of genuine sorrow to me-" he
said writing to Mr.. Jones, that a
man like you should be excluded from
the public service upon great occasion.
But neither of US is responsible for
these extraordinary circumstances"

Eastport, Me, July "a, 1914.
Stillman e. Woodman,
Sheriff of Washington County,
Machias, Me.
Dear Sir:
That the Prohibitory Law has not
been enforced in Eastport is beyond
all question of a doubt I believe that
this lack of enforcement must be your
inability to close the saloons. as you
are undoubtedly deslrous of fulfilling
your oath of office. Rather than have
you feel that, as an opposing candi-
date, / am taking an unfair advantage
of you, l make the following PROPOSE
ton: If you will dismiss your present
Deputy in Eastport, who has mani
tested his inefficiency, and appoint me
your Deputy Sheriff, l will close the
rum shops that have been running
omen and practically unmolested, to
the modification of all law abiding
citizens of this city and county, will
undertake that there will be no repeti-
ton Of the disorderly drunken specta-
Gle witnessed on the Sd and 4th Of July
in this city, when two men were seri-
ously hurt and one nearly killed by as
sault.
The Prohibitory Law can be forced
in PASSPORT; the saloons closed, and
kept closed; and I will guarantee that
if you will appoint me, l will close
every saloon in this city and prevent
them from selling any intoxicating liq-
uors, in proof of my sincerity. and my
belief that this is possible to a consci-
entious officer, l make the following
open pledge: Should l not succeed in
stopping the sale of rum in Eastport.

Wages Are Falling.

Republican advocates of the Ameri-
can principle Of protection have pro-
phesied that near-free trade would re-
suit in lower wages for the working
man. This has, of course, been de-
nicd by the Democratic advocates of
the un-American principle of free
trade. The table given below shows
one specific instance in which wages
have been lowered. This is a good
example of what the entire country
IS going to see more and more
IS free trade becomes more and more
sffectual. The table compares the
wages paid during three weeks in
1913 with wages paid during the same
period Of 1914.

Then Now

More than 5000 missionaries of
both sexes from the United States,
and $4,000 native converts acting
as missionaries, are teaching the
Christian faith throughout the
world. They have converted
100000 men, women and children
in all lands, and are bringing
$4,000 more into the fold every
year. over 100000 are learning
the ways of Christianity in the
10000 colleges, theological semi
naries. training and Sunday
schools that have been established
by American missionaries. The
modern missionary is not only
spiritual adviser, but undertakes
to cure physical ills as well. In
the 500 hospitals and free dis
pensaries established in foreign
lands, it is estimated that 3,00O,-
100000 treatments have been given
by the 400 male and female doc
tors making up the Foreign Mis-
sionary Medical staff. In times of
famine they distribute huge sums
of money. The expenses of this
vast campaign are enormous; but
no country is as liberal as the
United States. Last year the
American people contributed near
ly Sf7,000,000 to promote the work,
while all nations are spending
about $3S,000.O00 to support their
$4,000 Christian and 10000 native
missionaries who have gathered
over 100000 adherents in the

One hundred and eight years
ago today the first step was taken
toward establishing the foreign
missionary movement. On this
day five students of Williams Col
lege gathered in a grove near the
college to hold an open air meet
ing. The day was hot and OPP
pressive. In the midst of the
meeting a lightning bolt flashed
across the sky, announcing the
approach of thunderstorm.
Hurriedly collecting their belong
ings, the students sought shelter
beneath a neighboring haystack.
Here they continued their discus
sions while the storm ragged.
Shouting to make himself under
stood above the thunder, the
young leader, Samuel ]. Mills,
proposed that they organize Ito
spread the Gospel among the
heather" That was the first step.
Two years later Mills organized
the Society of Brethren" requir-
ing each of the five members
thereof to solemnly dedicate his
life as a missionary. Public opin-
ion being against missions, the or
ganization was kept secret and its
constitution was drawn up in
cipher. Six years had passed
since the historic "Haystack meet
ing" whose location is now
marked with a monument, before
the first five missionaries, four of
whom were accompanied by their
wives, sailed from Philadelphia for
India upon the first American
evangelistic campaign to foreign

tags of states other than Maine, rec
ord of a little over one every minute.
Practically all of these machines car
ried baggage and to every appearance
were tourists bound into the State. In
addition 40 Maine automobiles We're

over 100 automobiles of various states
were counted going West. The auto
