r. r, Joins a Magazine.

The Metropolitan Magazine an
nounces that for the next three years
Theodore Roosevelt will write ex-
clusively for the Metropolitan on all
the great social, political and interna-
tional questions. The first article by
Mr.. Roosevelt will appear in the Feb
ruary issue of the Metropolitan and
will give the true history of the &C
QUESTION of the Panama Canal and
deal with the Administrations present
attitude toward Colombia.
The Metropolitan declares: He will
not, however, be in any way respon-
sible for the political views Of the
ma gazine, nor will his articles be
written to conform with these views"
This assurance is wholly unneces-
sary. No one has a picture of T. r.
hunting up the policy maker of
magazine every day to see If he may
present things as he sees them.

The Growth of Charity.

To aid the suffering among the brave
Belgians whose country has been de-
nasfated by the greed and hatred of the
Prussian military oligarchy. is an ad-
mirable thing, but when our emotion for
a people whom we have never seen and
are not likely to see leads us to forget
the cases of suffering in our own city
and our own country, 1t is wrongly d.
rected.-Biddeford Record.
The sudden interest of certain Amer
leans in local charity is touching
spectacle. If the war has done nothing
else for America it has aroused new
bond of sympathy for the poor and
suffering all about US. that had
threatened to permanently sleep. In
spite of the many hundreds of thou
sands of dollars that are being sent
for the relief of suffering in the wal
zone, it is undoubtedly true that much
snore is being given in home relief
work than ever before. The wave of
interest in charity at home" largely
comes from a source never previously
stirred.

The Tariff and Net the War.

when a good Democrat like Nor
man Mack is quoted as beginning to
champion protection policy as re-
lief for the bad times, and when men
like Governor Baldwin of Connecticut,
urge amendments TO the tariff bill,
even the Wilson business men begin
to admit that the Underwood tariff
is responsible for the sad condition in
this country, and not the war We
NUT keep hammering away on the tar
;ff."-William B. Mckinley.
In other words, the war tax is not
q. war tax at all but, rather, an in
competency tax, forced confession
by free trade policy pretenders that
their much loved system is a failure
for all purposes but those of the cam
paign. A reduced tariff as process
of lowering the high cost of living,
make an aluring argument before the
tuninformed, but when such people
gradually learn that they have been de-
aiberately deceived they are more bitter
than they who foresaw and warned
against the sophistry.
In the last campaign faint-hearted
Element of the Republican party start
ed the fool cry that the war has saved
iDemocracy'-and it did, not because
OF any effect the war had upon condi-
,tions but because of Republican folly
in preparing their own defeat Inc
next House should have been Repub-
lcan and would but for men in the
Republican ranks whose pessimism
was bigger than their common sense.
IA steadfast hammering of the facts
would have completed the vietory.
The people now know that the war had
nothing to do with depressed condi-
'tions in this country and that they
have simply been fooled along for a
little longer period.

Editorial Comment.
Bull Moosery and Economy.

Here is an instance of real economy
Not as deep as WELL nor as wide as a
church door, but it serves. 1t shows
that the President S admonition against
waste and extravaganza has not fallen
on deaf ears.
The House cuts off an allowance OF
$500 year for an official representing
the bull moose party in the organization
of that body.
Well, why not? What is the bull moose
party to the country, or the country to
the bull moose party, that the Demo-
Gratis, with one of the numerous binding
pledges made at Baltimore and the
Presidents recent words before their
eyes. should appropriate money for 1t?
When the allowance was made, bull
moosery looked good and promising to
the Democrats. 1t had just brought
them into office. 1t had divided the OPP
position. and by that means made the
Democrats triumph easy. Gratitude, II
nothing else, counseled recognition Of
bull moosery in the affairs Of the House.
The bull moose demand was modest, and
on that account the more easily granted.
Today, bull moosery has lost much II
not all, of its promise. It's days are
clearly numbered. Its strength in the
present House Is IS. In the next House
it will be seyen-a loss of nearly two
thirds. I'VE are seven" There lie not

Maine Seed Potatoes.

The Weekly News Letter from the
Dec. 16 contains wholesome advice to
the country at large concerning Maine
potatoes. 1t advises against fear Of
Maine inspected seed stock, and goes
the advice one better by declaring the
probability of better seed in inspected
sacks from infected territory than
from non infected areas. This assur-
ance is valuable to Maine potato rails
ers. The Department announcement
reads:
The farmers of New Jersey, other
Middle Atlantic States, and the South
ern States are warned by the depart
ment to see that the seed potatoes they
buy bear the white label of the Potato
Inspection Service Of this department.
This label is placed on each container
and certifes that the potatoes have
been examined by Federal inspectors
and found free from powdery scab,
that they were grown on farms free
from, and have not in any way been
exposed to, this disease.
They are warned against the use OF
table potatoes for planting purposes,
as these, even though they do not show
the disease. may have been exposed to
powdery scab. Table potatoes are
usually shipped from Maine in bulk
and the car carries blue certifcstion
tag, while seed potatoes are in sacks
or other containers of a capacity not
to exceed $50 pounds, and each con-
tainer is separately certified.
Some dealers have been buying table
stock and selling it for seed. These
men are not violating any law, but
they are exposing their customers to
the risk of the introduction of dam
gerous disease and a quarantine,
should the powdery scab be introduced.
The white seed certificate relates
only to freedom from powdery scab,
but potatoes so certified are likely 10
be Of better quality and less mixed
than table-stock potatoes. The sup
ply of certified seed potatoes in Maine
is ample, and the price this year is
low. SO that there is no excuse Tor
planting table stock potatoes.
The department also states that the
rigid inspection and other precautions
thrown around certified seed stoch
from ouarantined districts make such
stock as safe as potatoes from nonin-
fected areas, and often better selected
