One hundred years ago Louis XVIII,
his long exile in England at an end,

Calais and was now on his way to
Paris to ascend the throne just va

the former marshals of Napoleon as

be happy to be called upon to prove
their fidelity and devotion to the new
regime. The king reached Compiegne
on April 20. and four days later took
his place on the throne.

From McKinley's Last Speech
at Buffalo

u ct us ever remember that our inter
est is in concord, not in conflict; and that
our real eminence rest in the victories OF
peace, not those OF war. We hope that
all who are represented here may be
moved to higher and nobler effort for
their own and the worlds good, and
that out of this city may come not only
greater commerce and trade for us all,
but, more essential than these, relations
of mutual respect, confidence and friend.

earnest prayer is that God will gra-
ciously voachsafe prosperity, happiness
and peace to all our neighbors. and like
blessings to all the peoples and powers

Poor Mckinley! He was the ambas-
sador of industrial peace, the servant of
an educated civilization There was in
this last fatal address a spirit of pro-
phetic alarm. He knew that the safe
guard of country depended upon the
prosperity of every individual, and to
that end he directed the energies of his
constructive craftsmanship. He gave
glory to the United States and held out
hope to the Western Hemisphere. He
was the very type and example of tram
quill government based upon the happi-
ness of the firesde and the conten.ment
that belongs to progressive labor. If the
statesmen and rulers OF Europe had TAX
Ell into consideration the value of the
unit in citizenship, and championed laws
for the COMMON welfare of all the people,
such disaster as now involves that an
cient continent, where religion started
and education began, would never have
been consummated with such impulsive
hate and unrelenting speed. Nations are
no greater than the greatness and the
faith OF the average citizenship. And
when the genius of nations honor de-
Ponds upon the exaltation and perpetu-
alton of an observation-disclosures divorced
from the common people-where prestige
is based upon military power and civil
instead of being established
upon the solid foundations of universal

achievement and the nation is balanced

On the Free List

One of the ways in which the Demo-
cratic party promised to benefit the far
mer was by reducing or removing duties
on implements needed in his business.
The Democratic party is in complete
power at Washington and has passed
law now in force, which is vouched for as
a fulfillment of tariff pledges. That law
puts the following among many other ar
ticles on the free list:-"Plows, tooth
and disk harrows, headers, harvesters,
reapers, agricultural drills and planters,
mowers, horse rakes, cutivators, thresh-
ing machines, cotton gins, machinery for
use in the manufacture of sugar, wagons
and carts, and all other agricultural
implements of any kind and description,
whether specifically mentioned herein or
not, whe Their in whole or parts, including
repair parts" That is, every machine
or implement of any kind, including the
parts which may need renewal from time
to time, required by the farmer, comes
in without paying duty. The American
farmer has absolutely no protection
against foreign competition. What is the
result? Representative Charles 81. Sloan
of Nebraska, an agricultural State, has
been looking into the matter, and his
statement shows that during the twelve
preceding June l there had been
an advance in the retail price of nearly
all the articles mentioned, and that there
is strong tendency to put up the figures
for windmills, pumps and other farm APP
planes. Again. binding Irvine is on the
free list; yet Representative Sloan quotes
figures which show that pure Manila
Irvine has gone from 9 3-S cents in 1912
to 1873 cents in 1914, other Manila
grades from IA to II cents, and various
brands from Ii to 8 cents. Where the
farmers or the consumers of the farmers
products are benefited by Democratic
tariff revision is not evident from these
figures.-Troy Times.

FERTILIZERS for FALL SEED

Many farmers are finding it to their
advantage to seed down iu the fall, claim
ing that by so doing they are apt to get a
much better catch" than they do when
they follow the usual practice and seed

The same is true regarding top-dressing

Before putting them away for the

The most abused articles in very
many houses are the blankets. Some
housewives do not know how to pro-
tect these, and, as washing too often
ruins them, blankets which become soil
ed remain so much too long in conse-
quence.
The all wool blanket gives the most
comfort; but, as it shrinks SO much
and requires more careful washing
than most laundresses are willing to
give it. many housekeepers content
themselves with the mixed cotton and
wool kinds.
If precautions are taken these blan-
kets need be washed but once a year.
To prevent them from getting soiled
simple covers of cheesecloth could be
made to fold over the top of the blan-
ket edge. Take piece as long as the

ENVIRON M EMIT.

All that is contained inside our skin
at birth is heredity; all that touches
or in any way influences us after birth
is environment.
The Century dictionary defines en-
vironment as: "The act of surround
ing; the aggregate of surrounding
things or conditions"
Our food, our clothes, our house, our
work, our amusements, our studies,
our friends and the climate we live in,
one and all are environment. Envi
ronment may be good or bad accord
ing as it tends to raise or lower us in
the scale of efficiency and happiness.
Dirty milk is bad environment.
Insufficient ventilation is bad envi-
ronment.
Too much clothing is bad environ
ment. -
Tight shoes is bad environment.
An incompetent teacher is bad en-
vironment.
Too much or too little of anything
is bad environment
Everything we see, hear feel, smell
or taste is environment, and each is
certain to influence our development
and determine to some degree whether
we shall have good or bad health.
We inherit tendencies, and envi-
ronElent develops or checks them, be
they for health or disease, in exact ra-
ito to the sum of the impressions re-
sulting from our experience. We are
born potentially sick or well, good or
bad, and environment determines
which it shall be and the degree of the
final result.

All unrestrained activity or normal
functions give rise to a sense of pleas
ure. We enjoy action along the lines
of our tendencies because they are
the lines of least resistance; they are
our instincts" and are therefore easy
to follow. Life is motion, and there
fore there is joy in action, because it is
life. At very early age the emotion
of joy arising from action is shown by
smiles and laughter in the human,
and by their equivalent, play in the
brute. Action is the fundamental
foundation of all outdoor games and
amusement. The pursuit of pleasure
through functional activity is vigor-
ously followed by all animals until
checked by unfavorable environment
conditions, and then resentment is
shown, because all restraint is de-
structive to the organism and all life
instinctively resists destruction.
- Tendencies may be good or bad, and
bad tendencies should be restrained,
submerged and destroyed. That man

step by step, is proof positive of the
destructive power of restraint on bad
tendencies, and is also proof that I'M
favorable environment conditions
may easily destroy the desirable quail
tiles. Hence the necessity of recog-
nizing tendencies to the end that we
may intelligently adapt environment
to our requirements for the conserva-
ton of our energies.
The discovery of. radio-activity, a
property of matter far beyond our abi[
ity to sense without assistance, has
opened the minds of the scientific
world to the belief that undoubtedly
the primary sources of natural energy
by virtue of which the universe keeps
going over immense periods OF time
are to be found not in the great masses
of glowing matter dotting the heavens,
nor in any of the relations between
energy and matter in bulk, but in the
individual atoms out of which bulk is
made up.
And so, too, the key to the proven
ton of disease and the promotion OF
human health and happiness undoubt-
eddy lies in the little things: in the
conservation of the enormous. amount
of energy lost through apparently
trivial irritations and insignificant
friction constantly ignored, but the
effects of which slowly accumulate
until in the aggregate there is a power
sufficient to overwhelm the stoutest-
These are now levying an appalling
tax on our economic efficiency and
happiness.
The study Of environment is really
worth while.

Editorial Comment.
Outrageous Food Prices.
New York World.l

Famine prices for food throughout the
United States are arbitrarily speculative
and criminal They have been imposed
at time when the greatest crops ever
known are maturing and in the face of
an embargo upon foreign commerce that
may last long enough to glut our ware
houses.
1t is thus that the warmakers of the
earth heap terror upon terror and add
suffering to suffering. The worst OF their
offenses is not always to be seen up
on the field of battle. Savagery there
has some redeeming traits, such as
courage, devotion and sacrifice. In
the market-place it is altogether sor-
did and calculating. In conflict war
kills and mains strong men. In trade
1t starves the aged, the young, the
weak.
The movement in Congress to inves-
tigate this outrageous increase in the
prices of provisions may be useful in
a way, but it will not promptly reach

enforcement of the prohibitory penal
ties that the State ever had.
Do you wonder that Mr.. Gardeners
hearers are puzzled, or that he is COM
pared with such as the Biddeford Rec
ord which says:
Liquor flowed as free as water in
Portland last Saturday and Sunday.
despite the fact that the law is enforced
by special sheriff appointed by Gov
enforcing the prohibitory law
Tim Callahan's figuring cannot conceal
the fact that the extravaganza Haines
administration has expended all the sur
plus that was left by the Plaisted adj
ministration and increased the State debt
as well.
THE Republican papers of the State
still leave Governor HaineS to defend his
own course in his hold-up of the two
cent-a- mile mileage bill twice passed by
the last Legislature. And the Governors
defense of his acts in these matters is
very weak.
The three above quoted paragraphs
are from single issue of that paper;
each a deliberate and studied falsehood
without foundation. We have never
heard that Mr.. Gardner had attacked
the States financial affairs-that is
easily verified-but from other papers
we CLEAN that he is conveying to the
uniformed that Governor Haines, in
the interests of the railroads, vetoed
two-cent mileage bill. We also un-
derstand that he is carrying the idea
to his hearers that Governor Haines
might enforce the law in Penobscot
county if ne would, leaving with such
hearers the impression that Governor
Haines for some secret reason does not
wish to enforce the penalties of the
law in all the counties. If these re-
ports are true then we believe Mr..
Gardeners course just as dishonest as
are the paragraphs above quoted from
VIGOROUSLY partisan and unfair
political organ.
We believe that Mr. Gardner claims
the people have been betrayed in
Penobscot county. If that charge is
true, then Governor Haines has been
betrayed as WELL and feels it more
keenly than any other person in
Maine. Is it honest for Mr.. Gardner
to pretend that Governor Haines
might clean up Bangor if he so de-
sired?

For the protection OF home indus
tries, Hungarian law requires that
material and supplies purchased by
the Hungarian government or by its
municipalities shall be, whenever
possible, Of Hungarian manufacture.
Statistics have recently been pub
Iished by the royal Hungarian minis
try Of commerce, showing how the
application Of this regulation worked
out in 1912. During that year the
national government and its institu-
lions purchased Hungarian-made
goods to the value Of $9,313,470; goods
Of foreign manufacture to the value of
s6OS, 100; and goods of doubtful
origin to the value of $114,264. Dur

ened government have wholly different

votes himself to Governor Haines and
his Sheriff. O'Connell of Bangor.
Just why Mr.. Gardiner is making
enforcement his entire campaign is
sue is what is puzzling the people of
all parties. The pretext is so f1imsy
as to attract attention. II the Pro-
gressiye State convention had en-
phatically placed itself upon the issue
and made specific declaration for pur-
poseful handling of the enforcement
question, and Mr.. Gardner had taken
an advanced position before the voters
for approval. the case would have been
different. Instead he seems to have
devoted the best energies of his cam
paign to deeeiFing the voters into the
belief that Governor Haines is pro-
noting a rum deal of some sort in
Penobscot county.
In the Bangor State convention of
Progressives, we believe Mr.. Gardner
discreetly kept under cover when the
battle on the rum question was raging.
The element opposed to plain pledge
for national prohibition won, and the
convention made the straddle "unani-
NOUS" Perhaps Mr.. Gardner thinks
the people of Maine never heard Of
this straddle, or that they have forgot
ten it, but he is mistaken in that as
he is in his misleading course on the
enforcement issue and the mileage
book bill. 1t ILL., becomes him to at
tempt to stir UP smoke enough over
the Bangor plan" to cover his retreat
without promising anything.
The temperance element in the Pro-
gressive State convention at Bangor
was downed by the anti-temperance
element. Every man present must
have recognized the sharply marked
disagreement, and the straddle won.
Temperance supporters in defending
their stand publicly denounced in con-
vention, the plank as a "straddle," and
a straddle it is today, while Hal Gard
ner is posing as a critic of the best
