A sign Of the Times.

A sign of the times is read in the
macopeia committee that after Janu-
airy next druggists must become saloon
keepers if they wish to sell liquor.
Whiskey is no longer a medicine. no
longer useful drug in medical prac-
tice. Whiskey and brandy will be
struck out of the new edition of the
United States Pharmacopeia the STAN
dard encyclopedia of drugs and their
uses, followed by every druggist in the
United States.
This dropping of whisky and brandy
from the authoritative list of medi-
cines used by physicians and druggists.
means that Intoxicating liquors no
longer have any standing or recog-
nized value in the treatment of dis
ease. Sentiment has strongly devel-
oped in recent years among pharma-
cists and medical men, that liquors
should be omitted from the Pharma-
copeia on the ground that they are
not medicinal agents and are not nec-
essary in the production of recognized
preparations.
Speaking Of the committees action.
the editor of the Weekly Drug Mar
kets. the organ Of the drug trade, says:
druggists throughout the nation are
considering it relief to be freed from
the necessity Of dealing in liquors.
From legitimate demands they have
never realized enough to pay the cost
Of the special tax certificate, or liquor
license. required by the internal reve-
nue. law

"America EirstN?

One Of the leading industrial nations
of Europe once urged its citizens
never to forget when you buy a for
eign article your country is the poor
err" That it was sound advice, no
one eau deny. The truth Of the prop
osition is too plain for even a school,
boy to question. And yet it is a truth
that one of the great political parties
of this country has persistently re-
fused to recognize. The whole pur-
pose Of a protective tariff is to dis.
courage the purchase Of foreign goods
and to induce citizens of our own coun-
try to buy goods produced at home.
The whole purpose Of low tariffs Is to
make It easier to buy in foreign mar
kets. The Democratic party stands
for low tariffs or free trade and ex-
poets. lower tariffs to produce rela-
lively more revenue because Of larger
importations. 1t refuses to recognize
the important fact that when you buy
a foreign article your country is poor

Consider Il a Moment.

The President brought out one OF
his hobbies again when he told the
Grand Army men at Washington that
this nation was created ito serve man
kind" Maybe. But the fathers of
the Republic had some very definite
notions about looking out for this
country first, as a prerequisite to SER
vice beyond our borders. They there
fore inaugurated their work by enact.
ing a protective tariff. Under the
operations of such laws the United
States became strong; and it will be
found from our history that the peri
DDS when we were able to do most for
humanity were those periods when a
protective tariff enabled us to do most
for ourselves. On the other hand.
those periods of our history when we
were most impotent and when foreign
nations were most truculent toward US
were. those periods when foreign ma
tions. through low American tariffs.
have had the firmest foothold in our
markets. When foreigners can over
ride our market rights they have been
able also to override our moral rights.
Do you catch the point?

The "MeGiIlicuddy Ditch?

A barge channel from Lewiston to Bath
is Congressman McGillicuddy's latest
great project. Although he is not able
to procure from Congress an appropria-
ton for a fiagpole from which to display
the American flag from the Bath custom
House, he announces that he is going to
try to get money for dredging the An
droscoggin and building locks around the
falls. It's quite an ambitious program
and we shall feel more confidence in the
Congressmans ability to carry it out
after he shall have got an appropriation
through for the fagpole.-Bath Inde-
pendent.
Before Dan gets his scheme under
way we'd like to know if he has con-
sidered the possibility of Shiloh
slide. If Lewiston should get all the
Atlantic coast shipping up there and
then the McGillicuddy ditch fill up, it
would be at least embarrassing.

In peace with Father Pan:
From Katahdin's rock built towers they
Looked far beyond the plain
Saw the hundred harbored shores,
Heard the water as 1t roars
When 1t pounds the rocky doors
OF hundred-harhored Maine!
Now the old gods lie in silence on =
The hills-a thousand fair.
On the rough crags. jutting seward
where once they combed their hair:
But with stan and scrip earth's pilgrims
The hills to lose their pain
Seek abodes Of long lost gods,

Love the burnished pine that hods
Upon the hills Of Maine!
