mo stronger argument for protec-

London correspondent of the Ameri-
can Economist, ethan is contained in
a memorandum just issued by the
English tariff commission, the body
organized by the late Joseph Cham
berlain, to prepare the way for scien-
tific British tariff, on the new financial
and Industrial problems created by
the war. The memorandum is the
result of detailed inquiry in which
the commission has secured the ad-
vice of leading financiers and econo-
mists and representatives of the
manufacturing and mercantile inter
ests OF the country. The conclusion
is that if England is to avoid fiscal
bankruptcy, she must have a protec-
tive tariff

Legislative News OF Interest to Han
cock County Readers.
The seventy seventh Maine Legislature
adjourned finally for the session last Sat-
urday. The session has been busy one,
with comparatively little political friction
since the first weeks OF the session.
NOTES.
Among the last acts OF the legislature
was the killing by the Senate of resolve
for Investigation of the Maine Central
railroad.
The bill for q bounty OF two cents on
dog fish was one OF the measures killed
during the last week OF the session.
The DeForest Keyes clsim will remain
to bother future legislatures, the resolve
authorizing him to bring suit against the
State having been killed in the Senate
Wednesday.
The bill requiring lights on vehicles,
after various ups and downs, amend
ments and amendments, was finally killed
last Wednesday, when the Senate voted to
concur with the House in indefinite post
ponement.

Mr.. Peters at Portland.
Portland Press, April 81

iFoftiauu f7Fess, April o.
1.-THE democrats haven't won on their
merits. All they had to do was to sit
tight and vote the ticket. The republic
cans did the rest by dividing. The demo-
Gratis had no mandate from the people.
They had streak OF luck. Any mandate
there was pointed the other way. The re-
publican party was sick in 1912. II there
had been an agreement as to the exact
cause Of the disease it might have been
cured then, but the experts disagreed and
the country suffered. Call it a complica-
tion of diseases. 1t was certainly that. A
complete rest seemed to be a safe thing to
order and it was taken with great result.
We understand ourselves and each other
better than we did. We are working in
harmony for the good of the party and
that means for the good of the country.
ssRe-invigorated, reinforced, united
and determined, we face orr common
political enemy, and unless all signs fail,
in two years time the administration of
our affairs will be in the hands of men
who are in harmony with the spirit and
traditions of this great country, and SYM
pathize with it's aspirations and develop
ment, knowing that in its progress and
destiny there are limitless possibilities
and hope and freedom for millions I'M
born"
In this way Congressman John A.
Peters, concluded an eloquent and telling
speech before the Portland club last
night. He spoke as a whole souled re-
publican to those whom he addressed as
s'fighting repu Dlicans of the good old first
district of Maine. Seldom has any
speaker who has addressed this club
aroused more enthusiasm or received a
more cordial welcome than did Mr.. Peters

demonstration, or those who employ him,
to bother people who do not care for his
services.
In the preceding paragraphs have been
shown some OF the things which the fxrm
demonstration is not. 1t may be that some
are saying that II the number Of things
the farm demonstrator Is not is 90 great,
then he must be almost nothing.
Let Us see, then, II We can learn what
farm demonstration work is, its object and
how accomplished, for these facts will
give an idea OF the duties OF the demon
8, rator and show whether or not he is of
value to the farmer.
A farm demonstration Is the demonstra-
ton of come particular method or practice
Of good farming or good business
management upon some selected
farm. Its object is to help the
farmer make more money as . result Of
the practice OF the best known methods OF
farming, and ultimately to reorganixe the
system OF farming in the several COM
munities IL need be, in order to put it on .
more paying basis.
What are some OF the principal benefits?
First, to the demonstrating farmer,
regular visits OF the director Of demonstra-
tions. help from the college Of agriculture,
new and improved varieties Of seeds when
available, survey OF farm for adaptability
to crops, business management, soil sur
vey II possible.
Second, to the farmers in the COM
munity. opportuDity to actually see the
working out OF modern farming practice
in their own community and on the farms
OF men with whom they are well &C.
quainted and in whom they have conf
dence. Demonstrations carried on these
farms will be practical for them to do,
for the demonstrations are in all cases
limited to practices OF known worth.

Correspondence.
Augusta Letter.

AUGUSTA, Me, April 8, 1915.
To the Editor Of The American:
Much interest developed in the debate
over the charter for the commission form
OF government for Bangor. This measure
had the opposition of the press Of that
city, and j. P. Bass was on the ground
for weeks personally conducting the
fight. As soon as it was apparent that the
charter would be granted, the opponents
tackled on an am endment making neces-
sary the referendum. This was objected
to strenuously by the proponents, who
claimed that the voters by decisive vote
only one year ago voiced their wishes for
the new form of government, and that
with the press gainst them and the in
huence Of q large corporations it would
mean hard and costly campaign. The
House passed the bill along and refused
to accept the amendment, and the Senate
back and attached the amendment in q
modified form.
A unique feature OF the mock session
last evening was the presence, as the guests
of mock Speaker Piummer, OF Pres. Hersey
and Gov. Curtis, both adding to the
general hilarity by facetious speeches s.
The work of the evening was carried on in
the usual ridiculous fashion, and the inn
mense crowd evidently appreciated the
entertainment. Bushels OF confetti added
to the carnival OF fun. Bills and resolves
containing amusing hits on the members
were introduced, original poems hitting up
on incidents of the session were read, and
the "Anvil chorus, composed mostly of
the younger set of the Augusta house
crowd, gave several choice selections, and
were loudly applauded.
During the night artists had been at
work in the House, and when the men,
bers appeared Friday morning the desks
of many members were adorned with
placards which hit on the personalities of
the members or references to measures
with which they had been prominently
connected.
Sessions have been held till nearly mid
night this week, and it looks like an adj
journment this afternoon, with matters all
cleaned up. Interesting exercises were
held in both the House and Senate this
week when presents we're made to the
president and speaker. The desks OF
both we're decorated with flowers, and at
the same time flowers were sent to Mrs.
Trafton and to Rep. Jordan, of Woodland,

great big rock! Right beside Of the rock
there was little bit OF fish all killed
dead. The little boy took him and fixed
him all up. He patted his little nose and
patted his little head aud took him
home.
What then?
Nobody cooked him. The little boys
mamma and daddy were gone, and just

Did the fish wish to go back?
No. He had a good home.
