THE UNITED STATES AND GER
MANY,

With Germany's determination to make
scraps of paper" of the laws of civilized war
fare and to substitute therefor lynch law of
the sea. and with the German threat to "run
amuck' in war zone created by Berlin decree,
the government of the United States has no
concern unless it should happen that, as re-
suit of the threatened German action, Amer-
Can ships are destroyed or American lives lost.
IheGerman government has been PUT on notice,
however. that should American ships be des
troyed or American lives lost as result of this
running amuck, the United States will hold it
to strict account bility.
The preposterous suggestion that American
merchantmen be conveyed by American war
ships is worthy of notice only because it fur
nlshes additional PROOF that it is the aim of
German diplomacy to the United States as
cats paw to in some way help Germany over
come the handicap of inability to use her fleets
at sea. The United States is not going to
abandon its strict and perfect neutrality to be-
come cats paw for any belligerent.
ut is to laugh" at Germany's present concern
regarding the morality of selling contraband
of war to belligerents. Kulturs most noble
product is the House of Krupp-and the House
of Krupp has long been leading the world in
the sale of contraband of war to belligerents.-

sEARsPoRT's FRIDAY CLUB.

The Friday Club of Sesrsport met Feb.
18th with Mrs. VIM. M. Parse and the club
poet made the following report, which
we were unable to publish last week:
Before the "Fridays" met on "Lincoln Day"
Adelaide did state
Well make it something special
His birth to celebrate.
So search your books and papers
And come prepared to tell
Some pleasing little anecdote
OF him who served SO we'll
We crammed our brains and work bags
Full OF tales and verse a'many;
And each one for their effort
Received Lincoln penny.
Now it was just like Adelaide
To have another plan
To celebrate the birthday
OF this justly famous man.
Soon she proposed a building game
To test our nimble wit.
Now did that scare the "Fridays?'
No, not single bit.
We hewed the logs, and split the rails
AS Lincoln once had done,
With just this little difference,
I'm sure we had more fun.
He didn't have the candy's, sweet
And trays of rich stuffed dates.
Nor sugared figs, and fudge divine
Which our own Adelaide makes.
Twas wondrous how those buildings grew
Not oncs did spirits lag,
And each one when completed
Flew tiny little flag
And when they all had finished
Log cabins filled the room.
1t looked as though our Searsport
Had caught the Build Now" boom.
On its fun to write poem
p when you find the words will rhyme:
It's more fun to meet with Adelaide
And have grand, good time. A,E.F.

ton that the "bolters" have come under
shipping trust influences, Senator O'Gor-
man shows that upon other historic &C.
casons, when the hand of this alleged
trust was most in evidence in influencing
legislation, it was the critics of to-day,
not the "bolters," who laid themselves
open to suspicion.
Senator Camden, charged by his COL
league, the mighty collie" James. with
the crime of having withheld his support
and vote from Mr.. Bryan in 1896, recalled
that his commission to represent Ken
lucky democracy was presented by a
larger support in the Senatorial primary
than Senator James received, and added,
by way of gentle reminder, that no less
person than President Wilson had ex
pressed the hope that Mr.. Bryan would
be knocked into a cooked hat" This
was at a time when Mr.. Wilson was
aligned with the element of democracy
that opposed Organism as ''populism, :"
before he began the " orship at the shrine
of the cooked hat that brought fruit in
his nomination at Baltimore.
All of this washing of democratic dirty
linen has, of course nothing to do with
the merits of the Ship Purchase bill, but
it serves to enshrine in political history
some things that should not be forgotten.

the loss to Aroostook county this year by
the low prices on potatoes will reach
three million dollars. Potatoes are sell

OUR COUNTRY'S MENACE.

Some are wondering if our lawmakers
are not coming to be as great menace
to our country as an invading army would
be. These lawmakers grind out laws on
top of laws affecting things which they
do not understand, and which in most
cases they do not seem to care to under
stand. Laws are passed in rapid success
sion in Washington and elsewhere that
take away the liberties of the people,
that cripple our industries, that put a
frightful burden on the taxpayers, and
which in many cases amount practically
to confscation of property.
Well might the people anxiously ask
what can be done to save our country
from the epidemic of legislative idiocy
that is sweeping over the land. H.
G. in the Washington Post.

BELFAST
Board of Trade
Answers Some Questions

The home merchant. Who is he?
He is the chap who gives you credit when
you are financially broke, and carries your
count until you are able to pay.
He is the chap WHO gives you back your
money or makes exchanges when you are not
satisfied with what you have bought.
He is the chap who stands behind his guar
anty, and makes restoration of all losses that
you may sustain on the goods you buy.
He is the chap who meets you at the door
with handmade, and let's you out with mes
sage to the "kids," and real come again good
by.
He is the chap who meets and greets you on
the street every day in the year. and takes
neighborly interest in your family and your
affairs.
He is the chap whose clerks and bookkeepers
! and other employees live in Belfast and spend
! their money with you and with other Belfast
people.
He is the chap who pays heavy taxes to help
support Belfast schools, and build your streets,
and maintain your fire departments and police
depar tments, and parks, and lighting and water
service.
He is chap who helps support your churches
and hospitals and charity organizations, and
| lodges and commercial clubs, and talks for
! Belfast and boosts for Belfast every day in the
year. >
i He is chap who visits you when you are sick
sends flowers to your family when you die. and
| follows your body out among the trees and
tombs, as far as human feet may travel with
| the dead,
He is the home merchant-your neighbor-
your friend-your helper in times of need.
| Don't YOU think that you ought to trade with
him. and be his friend and his helper in the
| time of his need?
Don't you know that every dollar that you
| send out of Belfast for merchandise, is sent to
| strangers-to men who never spend a dollar in
Belfast to men who would not trust you for
box of matches, to men who would turn you
over to the police if you should enter their
| Offices?
You don't save much, frequently nothing
when you send your money out of town. and
you take all the risk yourself OF short weight
or measure and of getting damaged or inferior
goods. And don't you know the growth and
prosperity of Belfast depends very largely up
on the success and prosperity of the home mer-
chants? Out-of-town people judge our city by
the appearance of our stores and the degree
Of enterprise shown by our merchants. And
our home merchants can not succeed unless
home folksgive them loyal support.

wrecking and matchmaking laws of the
preceding four years.
He had the new Congress in session
March Is, had protective tariff through
the House by March 81, and had it enact

in less than five months time, the Will
son-Gorman law was off the statute
books, and prosperity making law was
substituted.
Manufacturers and business men re-

of industrial development the country
ever knew.
President Mckinley realized his duty
as the nations advance agent of pros
