81 Business men who during Sep
tember and October were inclined tc
believe that the depression existing
throughout the country should be at
trihuted to the war know better
now That is what Congressman
elect William B. Mckinley says.
Pie balance of trade with Au-
stralia, China. Canada, Cuba and
Holland is against us. Nor has wal

Argentina. which is increasing its
Imports into this country. which
means that such imports restrict the
output of our factories and thus
cause men to be laid of.

good Democrat. is beginning te

folly to continue to adhere blindly to

Minter short Courses.


The winter short courses at the
College Of Agriculture, Morgantownr
will open January and continue
for nine weeks.
Many young men and older men
who are unable to pursue four-year
college course in agriculture find
! that they can get away from the
farm during the nine weeks in mid
winter and that during this time. II
continued for several winters, they
can secure a very good knowledge
of the principles and practices oil
modern up-to-date agriculture. These
young men are going back to thetI
farms or are going as managers OF
farms and orchards and are showing
by. their own success that they have
been benefited by the training they
received.
Students attending for the first
time usually take the course. In
general agriculture and the follow
ing winter specialize in horticulture
animal husbandry, deirying or poul-
try husbandry.
The entire expense including board
and room usually averages about
$50. Such an expenditure Is the
best investment any ambitious farme,
can make and 1t will yield regular
dividends in satisfaction and in
CREASED earning capacity.

Almost everyone has noticed that

noise at night Tests show that, as
a matter OF fact, sound carries far
Their at night, because the consistency
of the atmosphere is more uniform
During the day there is steady de-
crease in the heat OF the atmosphere
from its upper limit down to the
earth. This has the effect OF de
f1ecting sound upward, while the lack
|of uniform temperature also tends
to dispense sound.
The upper limit OF the air, and the
upper limit of blanket of fog OF
mist, both tend to defect sound
downward, and this DETECTION Of
sound waves often accounts for the
hearing OF heavy sounds, such as
artillery fire, at very great distances
The detection of sound by the upper
limit OF a fog bank has a dangerous
effect, for 1t tends to create silent
areas, where no warning of an ap.
preaching vessel at sea can pene-
trate.

McKinley,s Interrie,s.

1t is the pleasure of the Telegram
to publish in this issue an interview
given b. Congressman-elect William
b. Mckinley, for several years chair
man of the National Republican Con-
gressional Committee.
Mr.. Mckinley processes the belief
that the next Congress will see the
Republican party solidified and his
assurance that the younger members
lot that body who stood the brunt
during the dark season Of the party
and won will be treated as brothers
by the older members and be given
free lance in the councils of the
party will materially help in the
qualification. 1t means that there
are to be no bosses and no favor
ties but that the work is to be one
for the party welfare along with the
good of the country.
[ In his allusion to the presidential
nominee, he points out that there will
be more "favorite sons" in the race
than ever before, and he tells why
that fact will be good, namely, the
elimination OF factional fights in the
state, thus tnsuring state victories.
That is certainly sound. /
|1y" Republicans are going to be sent
sible." he says. Then he adds that
the leaders wills act upon give and
taken plan. That means harmony
and success will follow. Conf
|dence now exists where 1t was Lack
ing the last few years until after the
recent election. That foreshadows
party success. X
1t is true. he says. that a feeling
exists among Republicans that they
are going to win in 1916. It is APP
parent and genuine. However, the
party must wage an earnest and
never-ceasing fight. The party is
confident and militant now. while
before the election 1t lacked nerve
and confidence: and consequently did
not put forth its best efforts as was
the case even in Harrison county. AS
Mckinley asserts the lack of nerve
and confidence TO win will give place
TO the use of sledge hammer blows
hereafter.
The interview is not only hopefrf
but also helpful No Republican can
afford not to read 1t and it will not
he bad for all Democrats to read 1t
as there is some good advice therein,
especially as to the tariff question.

Bangor & Aroostook Explains the
Car Service into ArOostOOk County

as ii constitutes a discrimination
against the small shipper
Again further on appear the follow
ing WORDS: 1.-The r. d a. has no legal
right to furnish a large shipper 100
box cars for his exclusive use in con
sideration of the shipper lining 1t.
First let me say as to the legality
of the method of handling lined cars,
that that question has twice been be
fore the Interstate Commerce Com
mission: Judge Prouty having had
two hearings in Boston at which the
Aroostoook shippers were largely rep
resented. and ruled that there was
no discrimination and advised, after
taking all the circumstances into con-
sideratian, continuance of the prae-
tice.
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion is the only authority as to wheth-
er such matters are legal or otherwise,
and Enthusiastically Judge Prouty was
influenced in reaching his conclusions
by the expressed desire of a great ma
jority Of the Aroostook shipping in
terests that the lined car system
should be continued.
There is no discrimination because
the smallest shipper has precisely the
same opportunity to have cars set
aside for him to be lined by him, that
the larger shipper has.

would print this correction as 1 know

ing but true facts.
