That Mileage Bill.

The Republicans would dearly like to square
Governor Haines' record on the $50 mile mileage
bill, but n can't be done; the record stands
Governor Haines did not dare to veto the second
mileage bin passed by the Legislature. Instead.
he pigeon. holed the BILL Ii was only by single
vote that the first bill failed to pass over the Gov
ernor's veto. That second veto would be over
ridden was clearly evident. so the second bill
was pigeon holed. and WAS not signed when the
Legislature finally adjourned. Governor Haines
thus beat the Legislature by indirection for two
years at least on this 500 mileage bill. and the
people are paying the bill-Argus.
1.-THE people are paying the BILL" That
is q sample of the matter used by the
Democratic papers In the attempt to de-
lude the readers who are not fully in
formed a. to the facts. Governor Hsines
did veto the mileage bill, on the ground
that the public utilities commission,
which he bad every reason to expect
would be in authority in few months,
would properly have jurisdiction in the
matter. The bill did not establish q
mileage rate. 1t simply provided thai
any railroad which sold thousand mile
book should sell a tive-buudred mile
book at the same rate. Nothing was said
about what the rate should be.
On the first of last April the Maine
Central Railroad discontinued the sale of
its thousand mile books, and now sells
only the five-hupdred- mile book at the
same higher rate as before. IL Governor
Haines had signed the mileage bill the
railroad could now be doing just what it
Is doing, and getting the same mileage
rate. Is there any doubt that it would
be doing that same thing?

The thunder and bail shower OF the
season, thus far, passed over Sunday at
rernoon. II began to thunder far away
before noon, and continued at intervals
for several hours, still growing in vol
ume, when the shower arrived and gave
US a downpour, but of brief duration. A
few miles TO the south no rain fell, while
in the north it came in downpour, &C.
companied by hail, which seriously
injured the crops. Far her east the light
ming is said to have burned one set Of
buildings and pile of pulp wood.
Ernest Brooks is hard at work in the
bakery business at Norway, and each al
ternste Sunday he comes up to see his
folks few hours, and his little boy Carl
in particular. Last Sunday he made US
a friendly call, in the meantime giving
quite an idea of the labor involved in
that kind of business. Mr.. Brooks has
a man with him, and still they are so
rushed at times as to need another.
The hay harvest is ended with some,
while others will not get through before
the middle of the month.
Warren Brooks got tired last winter Of
shoveling his wood out of the snow, and
a path to the well, and is now building a
shed sufficient for both purposes, and
later on will find his time and money
well expended.
James Ring has built garage for his
auto, and Thursday, evening he dedicated
it By inviting in the juveniles and pos.
sibly a few older ones. Bananas, ice
cream and other good things were served
to the satisfying of the inner man, and
good time was enjoyed as the result.
Some who flushed haying last week
have gone to cutting bushes beside the
road, which was very much needed since
some of them had made such an unusual
growth as nearly to meet overhead.
Since the Cape Cod canal was finished,
some one has informed the people there
that they were now living on an island.
That is all correct, and equally true to
say that millions of people here are liv-
ing on an island just the same; only not
quite so conspicuous.
Now let's see. The river st. Lawrence
bounds the north part, the Gulf Of st.
Lawrence the east, the Atlantic Ocean
the south, and the Hudson River the
west, including Lake Champlain. Thus
it will be seen that this island includes
much land in addition to New England;
but it requires it all to form the island.
Ever look at 1t 10 that light?
