Poor Business, Not Billy Sunday.

Paterson's Drying Up. Brewers Say
Saloons.-Headline. New York Times,
June 9.
Here is an instance Of a possible
blessing in disguise" II fewer sa-
looms are among by by-products Of
Free-Trade depression and stagnation,
then there is faint trace of some
thing good in Free-Trade. Something
that is good may be found in almost
all conditions. AS narrated by Bret
Harte. the preacher who delivered
the funeral eulogy found something
good to say Of the bad man Scotty
He never shook his mother" But
that was all the good that could be
discovered in Scotty's bad record. So,
we believe, fewer saloons is about the
only good thing that can be discov-
cred in the bad record of Free-Trade
But there is a dark side to this bless
ing Of fewer saloons. Two or three
million jobless workingmen, made
jobless by Free-Trade. haven't got
many nickels to spend for beer Hence
the fewer saloons. Not Billy Sunday,
but poor business.-American Econo-
mist.
The people are fast becoming sick
OF free trade as we'll as free rum.

Secretary McAdoo comes forward
with the remarkable declaration that
1T would be a great advantage to this
nation II politics could be eliminated
from the ship question: so that we
could deal with this important mat
ter dispassionately." Who put the
ship purchase bill into politics? Presi-
dent Wilson insisted that it be made a
party measure and at his command
appropriation bills we're laid aside, the
Democrats caucussed on the shipping
bill, and those senators who refused to
be bound were read out of the party
by Senator Bill Stone. The Republic
can filibuster defeated this proposition
for government ownership attempted
by men who called themselves disci-
pies of Thomas Jefferson, and the
pending Senate cloture rule which. IL It
could be adopted, would destroy the
last refuge Of the minority, is the out
growth of thus curbing the presiden-
tial will Meanwhile, the interned
vessels Of the belligerents, on which.
1t was rumored. certain Democrats had
q private business eye. are snugly
moored in our ports.

Maine GOSSIP


OF all the birds from east to west,
That tuneful are and dear,
l love that farmyard bird the best,
They call him ChantIcfear.
Gold plume and copper plume,
Comb of scarlet gay;
IT'S he that scatters night and gloom.
And whistles back the day.
He is the suns brave herald
That, ringing his blithe horn,
Calls round a world dew-pearled
The heavenly airs of morn.
o clear gold, shrill and bold.
He calls through creeping mist
The mountains from the night and cold
To rose and amethyst.
He sets the birds to singing,
And calls the flowers to rise;
The morning cometh, bringing
Sweet sleep to heavy eyes.
Gold plume and silver plume.
Comb of coral gay:
'Tis he packs off the night and gloom,
And summons home the day!
Black fear he sends 1t flying.
Black care he drives afar:
And creeping shadows signing
Before the morning star.
The birds of all the forest
Have dear and pleasant cheer;
But yet hold the rarest
The Farmyard Chanticleer.
Red cock or black cock.
Gold cock of white,
The flower of all the feathered nock,
He whistles back the light!

"Figures viii Not Lie," but

Willingness to select figures unfairly
to bolster up their tottering cause
seems to be one of the characteristics
OF the present national administration.
One Of the most notable instances was
that in which Secretary Redfield Of the
Department Of Commerce, in a public
letter to Senator Stone of Missouri.
used statistics for April 1914, in a dis
cussion of trade balances. in which he
endeavors to explain that the balance
OF $11,000,000 against the United
States was due to the increase in i'm
ported foodstuffs arising from our
own alleged shortage and to the in
crease of imports of crude materials
needed for our manufactures. He also
endeavored to maintain that the bal
ance Of trade against us for that
month was due in part to decrease in
exports of foodstuffs. and Of such ma
terials as coal and raw cotton. He
dismissed the rest Of the period under
the Democratic tariff as not worth
considering
A fair presentatioH'6r statistics re-
lating to the balance of trade L., favor
Of or against the United States would
have included a period prior to the
taking effect Of the Underwood tariff
law, and all Of the period subsequent
thereto up to the time of the beginning
Of the European war on July 81. In
October. 1913. when the Underwood
Simmons tariff law went into effect,
the balance Of trade in our favor
amounted to s1ss.ooo.ooo; in Novem-
Der it dropped to $4,000. 900; in De-
cemher. ,4s,ooo.ooo; January, 1914,
&4s.ooo.ooo; dropped to $4,000, 900 in
February: to $4.7oo.ooo in March, while
in April, 1914. the balance was against
US to the amount Of $11.00o.000. The
balance Of trade continued against the
United States every month thereafter.
Not until September. when war orders
began to come In, were we again to the
good in our balance Of trade.
