NEW FEDERAL AID HIGHWAY
OPENED.

Names rs mile Federal Aid Highway ruiz
ming from Portland to Brunswick, and declared
to be one of the finest roads in the country
was officially completed and opened to traffic
Saturday. Hon. Philip J. Deering, chairman
of the State Highway Commission was the
first man to drive over the completed thorough
fare. The road is built emit rely of bituminous
macadam of the finest type of construction and
ls section of one of the most impo1 tant ar
teres of travel in Maine. 1t is part of the
coast highway to Bath Rockland and all of the
shore cities and resorts, and is also one of the
units of the Portland, Brunswick, Augusta
Waterville and Bangor State highway. It.
passes through the towns of Falmouth, Cum
berland, Yarmouth, Freeport and Brunswick
and skirts the shore of Casco Bay for IL miles,
one of the most beautiful rides in New Eng
Iand.
The cost of the highway was divided between
the Federal government and the State, the ex-
pense to the latter being only the equivalent
of an improved gravel road, the Federal gov
eminent paying for the added cost of the btu
mi nous macadam. The highway is one Of about
a dozen different types of construction
which the Federal government is building in
vari GUS parts of the United States as an ex.
pertinent. 1t will be maintained by the Maine
State Highway Commission, but owing to its
permanence of construction this item is ex-
pected to be a comparatively small one.
From reports received from outside of
Maine it is confidently expected that the high
way will prove tremendous attraction to
Summer tourists and Indirectly will bring
many additional motorists into the State. With
the completion of the Portland and Saco high
way early next summer, Maine will have a
magnificent boulevard penetrating for nearly
100 miles into the very heart of the State.

THE PINKEY MAINE AT PORTLAND.

one that should be filmed by all means. She
has been seen here often in the past, but of
late has been around little and SO, even though
she was we'll known, she attracted any amount
of attention from the oldtimers as she tackled
up the harbor.
In addition to her age, the Maine is noted for
being one of the few pinkies left, She may
be the last. The pinkey is q schooner, but she
is built like no ordinary craft.Instead Of having
the square stern of the usual old-timer, she
has q high-pointed one which reminds one of
the Spanish galleons. So high is the stern that

In Augusta the other day we were re-
minded, as on former visits, that the
New Augusta House is a monument to
the public spirit of the leading citizens
at the State Capital. Situated in the
heart of the residential section, con-
venient to the State House, the mecca of
all visitors-and especially so after a
State election-it is a most desirable
stopping place. And while the patron
age in the long vacations between the
sessions of the legislature can hardly
warrant it, the same degree of efficiency
ia maintained and the table and service
gre all that could be desired. In the
business section there is an improve
.ment-not recent-that compels the at
tention of the old-time visitor, the new
station of the NJ. c. R. R. and the aboli-
ton of the grade crossing on Water
street. That the old station was little
short of disgrace and the grade eros
sing menace to life must be generally
admitted.
Gov. Burleigh, as his friends generally
call our United States Senator, is today
the foremost figure in Augusta, and has
many callers at his pleasant home on
Western avenue. But at every turn the
s,kI-timer recalls the many once well
known personages who have gone before.

An Extremely Partisan Ad-
ministratiOn.

WASHINGTON, Sept. q. 1915. The
motto of this administration is put none
but Democrats on guard. The delicacy
of foreign relations, the gravity of ma
tionaI aft airs makes no difference. Bust
ness, finance and diplomacy, in which
there is no real partisanship, are given a
partisan tlnge by this administration and
the deserving Democrats have been re-
cognized. Some of them were later fully
found out, as in the case of Minister Sui
livan who went to San Domingo.
This spirit of intense and bitter parti-
sanship has been strangely inconsistent
with the fact that this is minority adj
ministration-but consistency has long
since ceased to be an administration vir-
tue.
The first evidence of the unyielding
partisan purpose of the Democrats came,
naturally, with the looting of the foreign
service though in this there was the
attenuated excuse that diplomatic repre-
sentatiyes are the personal spokesman
for the President and should therefore
be in political sympathy with him.
Then came the naming of the Federal
Reserve Board. The currency bill was
as much a Republican measure as Dem
ocratic measure. Its most useful feat
ures were those which were taken from
the late Senator Aldrich's plan-and
these were put into the bill chiefly at
Republican insistence. At any rate, the
measure was supposed to be non-partisan
in its operation and national in its scope.
monstrated jealous sectionslism run
riot, and when the original personnel of
the Board was named it had none but
Democrats upon it. Even now it has no
member recognized as an out and out
Republican.
The Federal Trade Commission is an
other case in point. This board, nation
al and even international in its jurlsdic-
ton, was advertised in advance as to be
made up of the greatest minds in the
land, regardless of politics. The appoint
ments were delayed for months in order,
it was said, to permit the choice of the
very best men. Yet only one of the ap-
pointees has a shadow of claim to being
a Republican.
And now comes third instance. Sc
cretary McAdoo has just selected the In
ternational High Commission which was
authorized by the Pan-American financial
congress last spring and which will con-
stitute the court of last resort in case of
friction in the trade relations between
this country and Latin America. This
body will have some delicate functions
to perform and, though trade is non-p: r
tisan, there is only one of the nine men
whom Mr.. McAdoo has chosen who is re-
cognized at once as Republican.
1t may be that the Democratic party has
monopoly of the brains and the ability
in this country. There ARE at least two
opinions about that. But there is only
one opinion as to the purpose of the pres
ent administration to grab everything in
sight for observing Democrats, while
the grabbing is good.

tmav not afford consolation to Maine
farmers who have had to contend this
abnormal season with damaged crops and
crop failures to know that elsewhere
they have brothers in misfortune; but it
will demonstrate that hard times come
to other sections, even to California, the
Aand of gold, fruit and flowers. Mr..
kiff' s letter In another column tells some
thing of the conditions in the Santa Clara
valley. Half of last years crop of
prunes remained ur sold, and this year
they are selling from $40 to S11 per ton
There is no market for peaches, and they
are being fed to hogs and thousands upon
thousands of bushels are ploughed in for
fertilizer. This fruit is produced on land
worth $700 to $4,000 per acre, and it costs
800 per acre to cultivate. Then from
another source we l. Urn that orders for
shipments east cannot be filled because
of shortage of cars on the railroads,
while steamers via the Panama canal
have all available freight space engaged
ZIP to October.
That such conditions could exist in
country where many fasteners had been
led to believe that fortunes awaited all
who would engage there in fruit growing
will be something of a surprise to many.
But every country and section under the
sun is subject to such vicissitudes. In
the growing States the boil weeyil
threatens the staple crop. At one time
1T looked as though fortune awaited the
onion grower in Texas. Returns of $500
to $500 per acre were reported, and it
was some time before the reverse of the
picture was shown. Until the onion
growers organized and established sales
agencies their shipments were unprofit-
able. Then there is worm that attacks
the young onion sprout just under the
ground and cuts it off, and at times it is
necessary to food the whole patch just
as cranberry bog is flooded when there
is danger of killing frost. Thus it will
he seen that in the west and in the south
there are difficulties to contend with at
least equal to those which confront the
good people of Maine, and we must en-
.dure them as best we can and hope for
BETTER times ahead.

SEVERE RHEUMATIC
PAINS DISAPPEAR

Rheumatism depends on an acid
which flows in the blood, affecting the
muscles and joints, producing infam-
nation, stiffness and pain. This acid
gets into the blood through some de-
feet in the digestive processes, and
remains there because the liver, kid
news and skin are too torpid to carry
it off.
Hoods Sarsaparilla, the old-time
blood tonic, is very successful in the
treatment Of rheumatism. 1t acts
directly, with purifying effect, on the
blood, and through the blood on the
liver, kidneys anil skin, which it
stimulates, and at the same time it
improves the digestion. -
