That 'Orrible Hoctopus.

Many Maine lawmakers are hecom-
ng interested in the Octopus" Here
Is the way one man stated it, Tues
day:
1T seems to me there must be con-
siderable real worth in the proposition
or the Lewiston Journal wouldn't be
yowling SO frantically, in news COL
umns and editorial, against it. I have
for a long time noticed that the editor
Of the L. j. is like the l. W. Winds
out what decent and sensible people
want and then claws and snarls at it..
Many members are my frame Of
mind and they are beginning to think
very favorably of the proposal to de-
velop and sell. if we can't use. some
Of the power that is running to waste.
It is as plain as the nose on Cyrano's
face, that some men would rather
public resources would forever go to
waste than that anyone other than
themselves or someone by their ad-
vice, should realize benefit from them.
LAS l said before, l am getting IN
terested in the Octopus and l think it
is quite a promising bird, although I
have no hopes whatever in that dream
book $4,000. The more / look into the
proposition the better l like it. and
thank the L. ]. lambasters for awak-
ening my ideas. They are doing 4
good work for the originators Of the
bill.
In forty years business experience
l have noticed that there is none so
bitter as the unsuccessful man who is
jealous of those who have succeeded
where he had not brains enough to in
vest. don't believe in throwing
away the States franchises but I do
believe in the State giving encourage
ment to those with capital to develop
its assets, and thus make them of
more value to the State.
This tommyrot about an Octopus
stirred my resentment and I hunted
up good old Sam Philbrick the
lobby'-formidable critter-and, by
jinks! Il couldn't find any Penrose-
e-Aldrich- Cannon Barnes monop-
oilers concealed about his person
So l am actually looking into the
merits which l have discovered in the
measure
Sometimes the best friends Of d
good thing are its intended-to-b be
worst enemies.

A Compliment to GoethaIs.

Those who have been with Gen
Goethals in the canal zone now pay
him the compliment Of proposing 70
make him the President Of the nation.
They wish the Republican party to
nominate him and claim for him. that
he is not a politician; that no politi-
cal strings bind him, etc.
There are 10000 of these voters
who have worked on the Panama
canal. The compliment must be
pleasing to Gen. Goethals. but the
country has more men fitted for the
Presidency than it has men fitted to
control the canal and its slides. AS
was said of the blacksmith who had
a call to preach" it was too bad to
make a poor minister out Of a per-
fectly good blacksmith.

A Suggestion to r. r. Employees.
President Elliott. Of the New Haven
Railroad. has come once more into the
lime light by issuing a bulletin to the
roads employees. that might be copied
in any business, anywhere, with good
results:
COUR T ES 7.
G ourtesy is a business asset, gain,

O Ulcers and employees. above all
others, should be courteous.

the purpose OF an address before the
members of the Economic Club. on THE

Application for the transfer of the
old revenue cutter Woodbury. from the
Coast Guard service to the L. S. Navy
has been made at the request of Lieut.
Commander Reuben X. Dyer Of the
Maine Naval Militia and in the event
that the vessel Is transferred to the
Navy Department it is the intention of
the officials to have the old cutter
placed at the disposal of Maine Naval
Militia. as a training ship. 1t is re-
garded as probable that the request of
Lieut.. Commander Dyer will be ac-
coded to- and it is expected that the
Naval Board of Inspection will shortly
make an inspection of the Woodbury.
at the Portsmouth, n. H., Navy Yard
to determine the cost of installing new
boilers and placing the vessel in shape
for the use of the Maine Naval Militia.
For some time 1t has been believed that
the old Woodbury.. which has been in
service for over so years, would be dis
carded to the junk shop when the new
coast guard Ossipee now building at
Newport News, Va, is placed in service
on the Maine coast. The Maine Naval
Militia has been trying to secure a ship
for training purposes for several years
and few years ago were promised the
use OF the old monitor Puritan. How
ever. the Navy Department found that
the Puritan was far too large for the
Maine organization and from time to
time efforts to secure a vessel have
been unsuccessful from the fact that
no small craft has been available.

New York. Oct. 19.--Resignation
OF Sir Edward Carson as attorney
general OF England Is perhaps the
