THEN
and

Thirty-two years ago the first
mile of the English channel tun-
mel was completed. Travellers saw
visions Of soon being able to dodge
the rough sea trip between Dover
and Calais. But the invasion
bogey seized the military authori-
ties in England; Parliament would
not let the construction proceed.
Each successive year that the
project was proposed alarmists
arose to picture the French max
ing use of the tunnel to land an
army in England. Parliament
regularly refused its approval.
notwithstanding that the promot-
ers devised schemes whereby the
pressing of an electric button on
English soil would pitt the tunnel
out of commission in war time.

Many More Words from Mr.. Marshall.

New York Tribune.)
We are not sure at the moment just
where Mr. Bryan is. But wherever
he is Chautauquaing, his words have
evidently been "old stuff not worth
telegraph tolls. Not so with the
Vice President of the United states,
who spent Sunday in Brooklyn anu
dripped words on so many SUBJECTS
and of such fetching import tnat a
very large proportion of them founo
their way into print.
1.-The New Puritan" was Mr.. Mar
shalPs subject. Hereunder he de-
bated such cognate topics as wives
whiskey. infant damnation, Tammany'
hell and the President. Everything
that the distinguished statesman saio
seems to have been sound. Good
liquor is unauestionably better than
bad patent medicine. kissing one
wife is a sound custom practised IN the
best families. And so on.
But why these words at all? we are
moved to wonder. Little Buttercup
could talk like that forever, and so
could almost any lazy minded, third
rate politician accustomed to opening
his mouth. Is it sheer partisanshlp
or do we express a general desire III
preferring that a Vice-President OF the
United States who cannot talk better
stuff should hold his peace?

Easy Lessons on Taxation.

The class in civil government at
asked many questions concerning tax
alton. Here is an easy lesson on taxes
as applied to the local situation at
the present moment. 1t IS Of especial
interest at the close of n political con-
test for the election Of city officers on
their merits and the city's interests.
The man who pays small tax is
generally expected not to care wheth-
er the tax rate be high or low. The
increase in his direct tax is SO small
as to be mot worth fussing about"
But in reality the small tax payer Is
just as deeply interested in keeping
the tax rate low-and the valuation
low-as is the heavy taxpayer who
Owns the house in which the small
taxpayer lives. For the small tax pay
er helps to pay the big mans taxes in
rents, profits on goods, and so on.
The poor man who doesn't care"
what public expenses cost his wealth.
Ter neighbor, usually contributes his
share toward paying these taxes. He
may not know it wien he pays 1t,
but he is contributing for the whistle
just the same.
1t matters little to the tax payer
whether the tax rate be raised or the
valuation of property lacked up by
the officials 10 raise the revenue to
cover their expenses. The meaning to
the taxpayer is pretty much the same
In 1905 the tax rate in Augusta was
$2L50 per thousand. The next year 1t
was s2o.5o and since that time it has
been rising until in 1918 1t was s26.
But here is something that is more
striking. We have selected at random
the taxes OF three men taxed more
than $50, and three taxed under $50.
The following figures represent the
taxes assessed against them in 1872
and 1918.

MARCH 7 IN HISTORY.
NOW

Today that first mile of tunnel Is
all that has been done toward Dor
ing beneath the English channel
But the project is alive and is
coming before the House of Com
mons again with prospects bright
er than ever before. France ana
England are on cordial terms and
the invasion bogey is no longer
acute. Engineers say that the
tunneling through the imperYlous
chalk of the channel bed could be
easily accomplished by boring
machine built on the plan of
huge carpenters bit, and the tun-
mel afterward lined with steel
The route is about % miles, which
if completed. would constitute
the longest underwater tunnel in
the world. The cost is estimated
at about sS0,000,000.

We Enjoy Honest Criticism.

An Augusta gentleman said: II like
your editorials but don't always agree
with you. For instance, I did not like
that one Tuesday morning; it was too
easy on our Democratic friends.
almost began to fear you were lean
ing backward in your desire to stand
straight"
We enjoy these criticisms. We do
not expect to have all the people agree
with us all the time; but we do hope
to have some of the people with us
some of the time. 1t would not be
a compliment to us or to them for all
to always agree with us. for we are
sometimes in error, as they are some
times mistaken.
But we believe we are on the right
trail toward better moral and civic
conditions, cleaner politics, general up
lift, open, frank discussion of issues
and no skulking or deceit to catch fol-
lowers. The new day is dawning and
all but the laggards are awake and
aware of it. Others are coming to con-
sciousness daily.
The trail has been "blazed" by
brave pioneers who have mostly paid
we'll for their temerity, but history
will honor them. We propose to see
what lies farther along through the
swamps of commercial pests, CONNER
cial diseases and commercial poisons;
the quick sands and chasms of So
cial pretenses, social customs and So
cial idioeies; the deadfalls of religious
bigotry. religious jealousy and religi-
Gus intolerance.
We do not bid for universal follow
ing, but pledge our faith on causing
people to think for themselves. If
they study out answers to this and
to that, they will occupy their minds
in more ways than one. Mental ex-
ercise is worth cultivating. The young
should form the habit, and the old,
sitting in the corner, will find it a
comfort
Let us agree not to agree on a great
many things, but. rather to see what
we car .le cut of the other fellows
topic That is the way deep thinking
and clear vision are grown.

The Boston Herald observes with ad-
miration that potatoes are now shipped

IL 10 Up to You.

here. In Maine today the people them
selves are in absolute control Of the
Republican party and it's fortunes.
Here Is the outline in brief:
The people select their candidates
for office. Any man may compete, and
no politician or leader has power to
interfere, If the people support their
own candidates by their ballots.
The people select their delegates 10
the State convention which will frame
the constitution on which the party
will stand or fall.
The same convention of representa-
tiyes of the people will appoint COM
mittees to carry out the desires of
the people as expressed in their plat
form and their primary selection of
candidates.
Acting in his capacity as chairman
Of the Republican State committee,
Col. Frederic H. Parkhurst of Bangor,
has issued the call for a State con-
RcIltiOli dt ~ "a. H. lItdl S0dys AQA IL
8, at Augusta. He has made public
the apportionment of delegates ac-
cording to population of cities, towns
and plantations, and it now remains
for Republicans of these various cities,
towns and plantations to name their
delegates and instruct them accord
ing TO their (the people of the Repub-
lican party) desires and recommen-
dations.
Committeeman are, henceforth, the
servants of the party body
This convention on April at Au-
gusta, is the first to be under full DOM
ination by the people. Chairman Park
hurst, in. recognition of the new order
of entire control by the people of the
party, speaks of it as the "constitu-
tional convention of the Republican
party" That characterization seems
particularly appropriate.
The day so long demanded by ad
vanced thought in political affairs is
here. THE people rule" has grown
from a hope into realization. The old
days of selection of officials. far in
advance by party leaders, have gone
with the wooden pillow, the rubber
hustle and the hanging of witches.
Now let the members of the Repub-
lican party. and all those citizens
who believe In protection of the in
dustries, the labor, and the homes of
Maine and the nation; Republicans,
and all those citizens who stand for
against official or court notification
of any; Republicans, and all these
who demand not only advanced legis-
lation but advanced Interpretation Of
the intent of laws-let all these meet
in their various cities, towns and
plantations and select their represen-
tatives to this State Republican con-
vention. Let these people, acting upon
the principles that now animate the
Republican party. instruct their dele
gates concerning their wishes for a
party platform or constitution In
Maine.
In their primary selection Of party
candidates, and direct control Of party
conventions and committees, the peo-
pie are in full charge of the affairs
of the Republican party. If you wish
voice and hand in the naming of can
didates or writing the platform OF the
Republican party-selecting the men
to carry out the command of the party
constitutional is your own fault if
you do not dc SO.
The new day is here and it is your
own fault If you do not improve it.
