The Eastern Democrat, of Bangor,
comes to the defense of Bangor, and
incidentally of Ellsworth, in replying
to the Bucksport Times, which in its
bitter disappointment at having the
State highway work done on the di-
rect route between Bangor and Els
worth, INDUCES in some mud singing.
The Democrat says: "As for the allu-
sion TO Ellsworth-weli, we have an
idea that Bangor's fair neighbor is
amply able to defend itself. II, how
ever, it died years ago, as the Bucks
port editor suggests, we may remark
in passing that it seems to be an un-
usually active corpse.n We appre-
ciate the good words of our Bangor
friend. The article in the Times did
not escape our attention, though we
did not deem it worthy of reply. We
had hoped that the species of mud
slinging editor was extinct; we sym
pathize with Bucksport in her Attic
ton.

A crime against civilization has
stained the name OF Georgia. Con-
victed on evidence which raised at
least doubt of guilt in every un-
prejudiced mind, his death sentence
committed to life imprisonment by a
governor who had the courage Of his
convictions but has been compelled to
flee his state to save his own life, Leo
NJ. Frank was taken from a state
prison in Georgia Monday night by an
armed mob, and lynched. The mob
has. had it's way; its blood lust has
been satisfied. Georgia wrecks the
fabric of our boasted civilization

At gathering of republicans Of the
second congressional district at New
Meadows inn last Thursday, at which
prominent republicans from other
sections of the State were present,
Governor Brumbaugh, of Pennsyl-
vania, who was the principal speaker,
summed up the duty of republicans Of
all creeds as follows: 1.-THE immedi-
ate purpose of the republican party is
to obtain control of the national
government in order to correct the
blunders of the recent administration,
by modifying the income tax-which
tax was made necessary by the un-
fortunate Underwood tariff and also
by removing from the statute books
OF the nation that most foolish of all
legislation = war tax in time OF
peace. If these acts are modified and
repealed, it is absolutely necessary to
construct new tariff schedule in
harmony with the purposes of the
republican party, and which at the
heart contains the essential PROPOSE
ton that the foreign manufacturer,
who owes no allegiance to the Ameri-
can institutions, and contributes not a
penny to our government and the
welfare OF our people, shall be obliged,
before he can compete in our Ameri-
can markets, to pay his fair and just
share OF the cost Of maintaining gov
eminent here"

TRorRLE IN THE CABINET.

7 INDLEY NJ. GARRISON Secretary of War is at
Il odds with several OF his associates in the Wilson
Cabinet Rumor current in the national capital has
il that he is dissatisfied with certain lines ad-
ministration policy that. TO his face in the
1916 election he may resign shortly and devote his
time to other matters
Time after time Secretary Garrison has advanced his
views with respect the foreign policy of our nation
Secretary State Bryan and certain his associates
who dominate the cabinet almost invariably have re-
jocod them At the present time it is said he con-
fines his remarks the meetings matters affecting
his own department, and never expresses an opinion
upon other things unless explicitly requested to do So
Secretary Garrison opposed the shipment OF Ameri-
can into Mexico Tor the of the revolutioniss
He was overruled by his associates. He also worked
diligently to increase the efficiency of the American
army and to free it from pernicious political nhu-
ence which menaced fitness and merit in the prefer
mont of army officers. Even President Wilson spoke
and worked against him in his recommendation for
greater preparedness for war The result was that
most of his recommendations we're ignored by Con-
gress.
Quite naturally he is incensed and feels that he
should show it, It is suggested in some quarters that
the President is not unaware OF his feeling and may
endeavor nufy the political effect of his retirement
by giving TO him judicial appointment that will be
used cloak the real underlying the break in

ANOTHER GERMAN RAIDER ESCAPES DESTRUC.

TTHOSE British and French warships that keep

pcake bay certainly have not distinguished themselves
recently by successful work in dealing with German
commerce destroyers. A little month ago the
big converted cruiser Prinz Eel Friedrich succeeded
in slipping by them and finding safety and inornment
inside the Virginia capcs And the Kronprinz
Wilhelm, another of Germanys commerce destroyers,
eludos tho vigilance of the British and French
manders, steams into Hampton Roads and drops
anchor. II is thought she will follow the course of
the Prnz Eitel and intern for the remainder of
the war
Thus, within five weeks, two magnificent prizes have
escaped the Allies and that after they had

and French merchantmen.

already has been told. Now the Kronprinz Will

sunk dfoen merchantmen. Most of them were Brit

stores compelled her to seek refuge in a neutral port
While It is true that she has slipped through tho
neck Of the Virginia capes bottle, it doubted that
she slip out again without being destroyed. The

With that done, and with the Karlsruhe wrecked

glory remaining to the Kaiser is embodied in the
pesky little submarines that doing such destruc-
tive work in British home waters.
Notwithstanding condition pleasing to the adj
mrates of the Allies the British and French cannot
fail to feel chagrin that two such fine prizes the
Prnz Eitel and the Kronprinz Wilhelm succeeded in

Railway Mail Pay and Express
(From the New York sunJ

That the Federal Trade Commission
might with entire propriety engage in
this undertaking and so commend it.
self TO public opinion as useful body
cannot be denied. There would be
nothing out of the way in submitting
affairs which arc in charge of one set
of governmental officers to another.
The very proposal which has been
made to have the Interstate Com
merce Commission look into the mat
ter of railway mail pay is proof of
this. and President Wilson himself
is on record as contemplating the use
of the Federal Trade Commission as
perpetual inquisition into the work
ings of che tariff.
Moreover the declared wish cf the
administration is that the Federal
Trade Commission shall begin its
career with constructive effort. II
would certainly be a constructive
achievement to bring about a settle
ment of the express rate and railway
mail pay dilemma in such fashion as
to permit the country to enjoy the
benefits of both the express and the
parcel post service.
One of the duties devolving on the
Federal Trade Commission is the de-
lection and prevention of unfair
methods Of competition. It is mani
fest that if the railroads are not ade-
quately compensated for the transpUr-
tation of posted parcels the express
companies are subjected to a gov
ernment cometition which employs
methods of gross unfairness. At Tho
same time the express companies can
not be helped much by official sane
/ tion for an advance in their rates
which would tend to throw more bust
ness 10 the parcel post unless the
railway mail pay is increased.
! Altogether it would seem that th'
express-railway mail controversy il
one for which the Federal Trade Com
mission is peculiarly qualified to pro
vide a settlement
