The New York Times undertook,
about the middle of July, to print a
"boom" edition for the democratic
tariff law. The result was negligible.
Perhaps the railroads are the best in
dicators of business conditions, and
without exception they had no word
of commentator for the business
situation. The Times must have
found its effort in that direction al
most hopeless, as it sought to dis
may the "calamity howlers', as it
called them, by telling of the wonder
full increase in the passenger traffic of
the railroads for the fiscal year 1918.
Perhaps the writer of that article
thought the public would not know
that the fiscal year 1918 ended months
before the Underwood tariff law went
into effect. II the Times had quoted
the statistics for the fiscal year ended
June 80, 1914, uine months of which
were under the Underwood Wilson
tariff, 1t would have had to concede
that the calamity howlers" had q
good case.-The Protectionist.

The members of the progress
sive town committees of Rock
land and Hanover, Mass, met
last week, and upon invitation,
the republican committees of the
same towns met with them. They
met together, planned together, and
proposed to campaign together.
They are tired of pulling against each
other in their efforts to accomplish a
common result, and in the future they
propose to pull together. The indi-
cations now are that this movement
will spread over the state, and an
almost general amalgamation will re-
suit.

Launch Burned at Bar Harbor

Launch Burned at Bar Harbor.
The forty-f foot gasoline launch Chincha
was burned at Bar Harbor Thursday, and
her owner, Roger Putnam, was painfully
but not dangerously burned.
The yacht came in Thursday afternoon
from Manchester, Mass, and was lying at
the dock while the gasoline supply was
being replenished. Mr.. Putnam attempted
to start the engine when it back tired and
ignited some OF the liquid which had been
spilled. An explosion followed, the force
OF it throwing Mr.. Putnam into the cabin
and blowing out the stern of the launch.
The launch was so badly damaged by the
explosion and fire that it sank while being
towed across the harbor. The loss is
about 1900.

Maine democrats are in panic, and
as last resort, have, it is said, pre-
vailed upon President Wilson to come
here and defend his administration.
But it's too late-the mischief done
in Washington cannot be undone in
Maine. By the way, isn't it little
strange that "the best administration
this country has ever known, accord
ing to Pattangall, should be compelled
to defend itself on the political
stump?
Ellsworth American. [volume] (Ellsworth, Me.) 1855-current, 1914-08-05

Candidate Pattangall now has an
opportunity right in his own district
to tell those idle Hartland wooden
mill employees, with their psyche
logical pay envelopes, that their
earnings have been psychologically
increased, all because of "the best
administration this country has ever
known. Perhaps he can convince
them that the cost of living is so very
much lower because of the democratic
tariff that all they need is psycho-
logical money, anyway.

A canvass by the Wall Street Journal
reveals that thirty-four railroads
operating we'll over one half the rail-
road mileage of the country are en-
ploying 1l9.557, or 10 per cent. less
than year ago. The total number of
employees is 1,023 1886, against 1,142,-
1893 this time last year. Figuring on
that same basis, there would be ap-
proximately 242, 800 men out of work
on the railroads who were employed a
year ago.

gathered them an enormous egg, its largest
circumference being nearly nine inches
and its smallest circumference seven

come, for, upon the shell being broken, it
was found to contain a fluid like the white

with a good strong shell.
