After next week the special articles
nder the caption of ''Our Business
Farmers Page" will be discontinued for
the summer. The articles, written by
ex perts in the various lines, were fur
nished through a leading adv rtising
agency with view to securing advertise
ing relating to agriculture for publica-
ii on on that page, to be supplemented by
local advertising of the same nature,
and it has involved considerable expense
without adequate returns. Some inter-
st has been shown, however, and the
service may be resumed in the fall.
Meanwhile The Journal will continue to
publish articles on agricultural topics
from the National and State departments
and invites contributions from all inter-
ested in promoting farming, dairying and
orchardlng in Maine.

to the enactment Of the present tariff
law and other legislation which has par
alyzed every trade and industry. 1t
should be said, however, that many who
voted the Progressive ticket at that time
confidently expected the election OF
Roosevelt, and were opposed to Taft be-
cause of his Canadian reciprocity treaty.
But conditions have changed since then,
and it is plainly seen by every one that
the Progressive vote this year can only
aid in continuing the Democratic party
in power in State and Nation.

When the schooner America defeated
the English yachts in their own waters,
and until the advent of Upton as con-
testant for the America cup, there was
a marked difference in both model and
rig between the yachts of the two coun-
tries. English cutters crossed the At
lantic to sail for the coveted trophy and
were defeated by our American sloops.
Herreshoff was the first yacht designer
to adopt the extreme ovefhangs to beat
the measurement rules, ard it proved a
winning model. With each succeeding
Shamrock Sir Thomas Upton has had
built he has copied the models of the cup
defenders more closely, and in his latest
Sh amrock has gone beyond them and
produced what the yaching experts say is
freak craft that, barring accident,
may land the prize. OF course no ex-
ception can be taken if he beats US a
our own game; but the question natural
ly arises, what good is accomplished by
spending half a million dollars in the
construction of freak craft that after
the races is only fit for junk. The three
schooner yachts Henrietta, Fleetwing
and Vesta that sailed from Sandy Hook
Dec. II, 1866, for race across the At
lantic to the Needles, Isle of Wight, were
Of very different type, and such race
called for staunch vessels and skilful sea-
manship, and these were not wanting.
The race was for purse of $50, 600, and
the Henrietta, owned by James Gordon
Bennett, was the winner, making the
run in Is days, 81 hours and IS minutes.

The bill to repeal the clause of the
Panama canal act exempting American
coastwise shipping from tolls passed the
Senate June 18th by vote of 50 to IS.
Thirty-seven Democrats and 10 Republi-
cans voted for repeal, and II Democrats,
2 8 Republicans and one Progressive were
recorded in the negative. The Maine
Senators were divided, Senator Burleigh
voting against and Senator johnson for
repeal. The House Friday, after brief
debate and without the formality of a
conference, accepted by vote of PIG to
II the senate amendment specifically
reserving all rights the United States
may have under the Hay Pauncefote
treaty or otherwise. The President
signed the measure Monday. The ex-
tent of this blow to American shipping
interests will be better realized when it
is known that foreign governments pro-
pose to refund to vessel owners the tolls
paid by their vessels, while the Demo-
cratic party is opposed to any form OF
subsidy whatever. The farmer, the
manufacturer and the vessel owner are
alike faring ill at the hands of the pow
ers that be at the National capital.

The Washington correspondent OF the
Boston Transcript after presenting facts
and figures showing the disintegration of
the Progressive party, says:
The Democrats are exceedingly anx-
ious that the breakup of the new party
shall not come prior to the Congressional
elections of this year. They have be en-
counting on the Bull Moosers helping
them to elect the House of Representa-
tives once more, at least. They make no
secret of the fact that they regard every
Progressive nomination for Congress as
an aid to Democratic candidate.
The Progressive candidates in this
State for Governor and for Congress are
foredoomed to defeat, and the candidates
themselves fully realize that this result
is assured. They are ''soreheads, one
and all, and are in the contest simply to
aid in defeating the Republican candi-
dates. They will, of course, succeed in
fooling some honest, we'll meaning
voters with their protestations of re-
form, etc., but the number they can so
influence is rapidly lessening and by
September they will be left with little
more than corporal's guard of followers.
If we accept the press as reflex OF
public sentiment there is but one opinion,
at home and abroad, as to this country's
attitude toward Mexico. 1t matters
nothing whether the responsibility rests
with the President or with his Secretary
of State; and when the latter has come
into prominence in the matter he has
certainly been sorry and ludicrous fig
ure. The American people were wise
when they barred Bryan from the White
House. In his present position he is a
national calamity. When representative
business men called upon the president
to ask for temporary truce in his war
against trade and industry he told them
that their troubles were physiological.
Comment in this case is hardly necessary.
If President Wilson brings about long
and costly war the country must stand by
him at whatever sacrifice of life and
money. If the war he has inaugural ed
does not advance beyond its present
stage there will be a heavy bill for the
people to pay, and with decreased
revenue under the present tariff and the
decline of business due to the same legls-
lation the burden will be severely felt.

IN MEMORY OF MOTHER.
Oh mother, thy gentle voice is hushed;
Thy warm true heart is still,
And on thy pale and peaceful face is
Resting deaths cold chill.
Thy hands are clasped upon thy breast;
We all have kissed thy marble brow,
And in our aching hearts We know
We have no wife OF mother now.
When we leave this world of changes,
When we leave this world of care,
We shall find our darling wife and
Mother in our heavenly mansion fair.
Farewell, wife; farewell, mother;
We must say our last farewell,
Till we all meet beyond the river,
Happy there with thee to dwell.

PERFUMED AIR IN A HOTEL
About the Limit Even In This Age
That Is Unrivaled In Its
Luxury.

The ultra" of scientific hotel &C.
commodations has reached Los An
geles. Soon guests of the Hotel Alex
andria will not breathe the ordinary
air which circulates the highways and
byways.
No, indeed, monsieur and madame
must be made comfortable; therefore,
the dining salons and foyers of this
hotel will be equipped with perfumed
air.
And to make this innovation in the
hotel business even more complete
the orders which reach the nostrils
of Alexandria guests will vary with
the seasons.
For instance, according to Manager
S. ]. Whitmore, spring will announce
itself to the city dweller who never
visits the byways by delicate aroma
of violet; little later the scent will
change, and the delicate ''parfum" of
the orange blossom win be de riguer.
With autumn will come the Indian
summary fragrance of pine needles

cause this is southern California,
roses.
Exhaust fans which pump in cool
air through a rainstorm of scented
waters will make this possible. All
grill and the banquet hall invisible
supply fans will constantly keep a
new current Of perfumed air in circu-
lation among the diners and loungers.
Should monsieur wish to give a lit
tie dinner in a private dining-room
and have a fancy for the scent OF Law

throughout the meal.

full consideration we find that the per
fumed air for our dining-rooms will
be a pleasing touch for all those who
wish to enjoy it, The only danger,
of course, would be in OVERRIDING the
thing. None would want to take a
meal in a salon saturated with the
odor Of orange blossoms, for exam
pie. Our tinctures are to be delicate,
however. The perfumes will give a
natural aroma; no more."-Los An

WHEN CHECK CAME IN HANDY
Story So Good That Actor, Now Fa
nous, ls Willing to Have II
Told on Him.

E. H. Sothern, at twenty-six, mar
rowly escaped being poet. In his
younger days Sothern, who had nat
urally drifted to the stage, which his
father before him had so highly
adorned, often wrote verse, not for
amusement, but for the few dollars
that his efforts might bring in. And
the money so earned usually came
in handy.
The actor says that at one time,
during the first period of his stage
career, he had been playing a small
part with a company that had done
none too well. 1t was a barn-storm-
ing organization, purely, and the
manager finally gave up the ghost
at far inland point. 1t was a ghost
that had not walked for a long time,
anyway, so no one lamented its de-
parture.
After more or less of a struggle
the players got back to New York.
They had not eaten regularly, and
most Of them were in dire need.
Sothern, upon his arrival at the
metropolis, Immediately made his
way to his old boarding house, which
boosted a most reasonable landlady,
and there he laid down his bag.
Il haven't a penny" said the ac-
tor, "but l will have"

lady. ave been expecting you for
