The Censorship.

Complaints are heard on all sides OF
the rigid censorship of war news, yet
perhaps it is best that the world be
spared much of the CORY detail. Every
news service in the world Is doing its
best to get the facts and share them
with civilization, but in these times OF
instantaneous communication between
far distant points. the war eensors are
careful that nothing of value to the
enemy is allowed to pass.
Up to this time next to nothing is
known of the movements, the plans,
the triumphs or the losses of the Ger
man or the Austria Hungary forces,
Thus is the story only half told, and
the prospect is good for great sur
prises. disappointments or rejoicings
The map of Europe may be changed
before the world is aware, or, at any
moment may the situation become SO
desperate that all bounds are broken
and restraints swept aside and the
people allowed to view the modern
war eatastrope in all it's horrors. Let
US hope to be spared the heart break
ing details that are now exhausting
the nations of Europe.

Names Chances.

Editor Kennebec Journal:
Are you mentioning the future price Of
potatoes In your columns? It seems to
me that 1t is about time to start senti-
m mt on the price of the great Maine
crop. Farmers are calling for il with
tears in their eyes as big as horse chest
nuts. 1t seems to me that the farmer OF
Maine who has planted full crop of
potatoes this year. in spite Of threatened
losses from embargo, quarantine, pow
derry scab, or foreign competition, is to
be congratulated. The European war,
which has so largely affected the price
Of the cereals. will more than equally
affect potatoes. The U. s. grows only
about three-cuarters Of the potatoes con-
stunned I'm the whole country in a normal
year. European governments have coun-
fernandez the export of food staples
from their respective countries. Ger
many, the greatest potato country in the
world, has especial need for her food
supply. Russia, Austria-Hungary and
France, who came next In productive
capacity will not export. Great Britain
which does not raise potatoes in suffi-
Gent quantities for its own consumption
must depend on outside sources for a
supply. In addition to these factors the
Y. s. Government crop estimates for the
present year show a shortage in the po-
tato acreage of this country; and advices
from the West indicate that, on account
of weather conditions, even the acres
planted will fall short of an average
yield. 1t looks as though a new record
will be made this fall I'm the high price
of potatoes Buyers will be in the field
early, and those who have supply for
sale are fortunate indeed.

greater than ever the demand for rum.
All kinds of appeal are made to the pas

to pisce the grip Of the business upon

Tho Initial Mistake.
New York Post)


Where the initial mistake lay, there
can now be little doubt. Austria pro-
ceeded with high hand and in the
most reckless spirit. but the response
bility of dislocating the entire Euro
pean status, and making the whole
continent the scene OF war, is not
wholly hers. She must have commu-
uicated her intentions to her ally. Ger

sent to 60 ahead. This was the reason
why the German emperor felt conn
PEELED to decline the proposal of Sir
Edward Grey to call a European con-
sress in order to pass upon the differ
ences between Austria and Servia. As
sent had already been given to the
Austrian aggression. True, the kaiser
protested. and no doubt he believed
that the war could be localized" /;
that Russia would have no real reason
to become excited and mobolize her
army. But this was quickly seen to
be a vast miscaiculation. What the
German foreign ONCE should have in
sisted upon in the beginning was that
Austria should pause before setting a
match to the European powder mag
asine: that she should carefully define
her plans, and see il they were such,
or could not. be made such
as to secure q general acquiescence
throughout Europe. After the mischief
was done. Emperor William seems TO
have striven earnestly TO repair the
damage and maintain peace.

In 1895, Governor Haines served In

that had characterized his work in the

saw the great value of good roads to
the people of the State and. in 1895.
he drafted a bill for the creation of a
State highway commission. 1t was Bit
terly fought and was at that time de-

1905. the bill embodying the same prin-
cipies as originally drafted by Gov
ernor Haines. was passed and because

The underlying inability of individuals
OF the Belts type to argue clearly on a
subject of this character, is shown by
the following. sentence: He asks: "Ia
the wife of a drunken husband to pay q
further share of dissolution loss to the
business that ruined himY"
We deny that the business has eve.
ruined anybody. There are inebriates,
weakiings and degenerates who will use
anything and everything to damage
themselves, and this is apparent and un-
deniable. but the blame belongs to the
Individual, not to the business.
Mr. Belts shows that there is a great
anxiety On the part of liquor dealers to
obtain licenses and he therefore con,
tends that the privilege of license must
be valuable one. If his statement be
true, all the people of Pennsylvania must
have contributed very largely to this
condition, for no dealer wants a license
