Our Congratulations.

We take off our hat to the Execu-
tive Board of the Farmers Union Of
Maine, and congratulate these gentle
men upon the dignitied manner in
which they have met an embarrassing
situation. They have not only ignored
attack and its source, and refrained
from counter attack with abundant
material at hand. but have capitalized
the incident in new friendships and
confidence.
1t is our conviction that the Farm
ers Union of Maine has at no period
of its existence enjoyed so large a de-
gree Of confidence and prospects OF
increasing usefulness, as in the pres
ent hour
As the kennebec Journal several
days ago suggested. the Executive
Board has offered for publication the
contracts which Mr.. Embree, manager
for the Farmers Union. could not sur
render 10 the commissioner OF agricul-
ture. Because OF his refusal 10 com
ply with the demands of the commits
sioner. Mr. Embre was dismissed from
the employ of the department. in a
letter which We did not dare IL print
without authority from Mr.. Embree
and the Executive Board The answer
OF the Farmers Union i 10 raise NIr.
Embrees salary and give expression
TO full confidence in him and his SER
vice to the farmers Of Maine.
The policy of putting everything
open and above aboard is d good one.
We are glad 10 print the contracts
over which the trouble arose. ana We
believe the storm has cleared the at
mosphere. Nov, let Us suggest that
the Farme"S onion ".Ee Is q h.Syv:>-
of its work in Maine what Il has ac-
complished and what it plans and
hopes 10 do We believe il would be
good reading for all, and Of especial
interest among the farmers where the
kennebec Journal has thousands of
readers

Something for Nation to Remember.

L, for one" says Joseph H. Choate
should be heartily ashamed of the
party to which l belong if it tried in
any way to make capital out Of the
sincere efforts of the President to
make this country ready, not for war
but for peace Mr.. Choate is a Re-
publican. Whether or not the efforts
of the President to make this country
ready are sincere-and his recent
pronunciamento is quite the opposite
of his attitude a year ago-there will
be no attempt on the part of the Re
publican party to make Of that ques-
ton a partisan issue There are some
who think that the present state of
belligerency of Mr.. Wilson is due TO
the approaching campaign and the
fact that the people, aroused by warn
ings OF such Republicans as Repre-
sentative Augustus p. Gardner. have
come out for strong national defense
that the President is trying TO square
himself with the voters of the country.
However that may be. the Republicans
are heart and soul for adequate de-
Tense. But inasmuch as to the Re-
publican party belongs the credit for
this reversal of opinion on the part OF
Mr.. Wilson. Secretary Daniels and
Congressman Hay certainly they are
entitled 10 some expression of opinion
as 10 how the defense plan should be
pat into operation. Leave il TO the
Democrats to make it a partisan issue:
10 use it as means of hiding the de-
ticiencieS Of their tariff legislation in
the demand for huge appropriations;
10 smuggle into il the McAdoo snip
purchase measure. They are already
making preparations along that line.
