Oliver Otis.

The trenchant pen of Oliver Otis has
ceased its activities but brother edi-
tors in wide field will long remember
the respect they had for it. The late
editor Of the Rockland Opinion had
added long experience and concentra-
tion> to the attributes Of keen and
analytical mind. He saw clearly and
cut sharply. He could always be re-
lied upon to put his finger exactly up
on the sore spot. He was a Demo-
crat. ever loyal to his faith and his
party. a worthy foe for any opponent
but fair in his engagements.
Throughout Maine, newspaper men
feel deep sympathy with the family
and fully understand why Ensign
Otis could not write of his father in
the current issue of his paper. AS Oil
yer Otis had large acquaintance with
and understanding of men and affairs.
so there are many warm admirers to
pay him tribute HIS sudden passing
was a blow to us all, and a distinct
loss to the front rank of the Maine
newspaper corps.

and they now have to acknowledge
the fact.
The same thing was true in regard
to appropriations, which have been
the largest, under Democratic rule,
in the history Of the nation, while
taxes correspond. The trusts are
flourishing just the same as ever. ex-
cepting for the lessened business
caused by Democratic incompetency
at Washington. The currency is the
same. and the banking laws have
been changed largely in the line laid
out by the Republicans. In fact the
free trade party has not redeemed
its prediction promises. 1t has
made things much worse, and is now
development and growth. and is now
forced to acknowledge that many OF
it's campaign assertions were I'M
founded.

Cost Of Living Goes Higher.

In 1912 Mr.. Wilson repeatedly as
serted in campaign speeches that the
high cost Of living was due to the pro-
tective tariff. and that when the
Democrats came into power they
would reduce the cost Of living by
changing the tariff. He also asserted
that appropriations would be reduced
by stopping waste, and that the trusts
would be curbed and the currency re-
formed.
The Democrats now have had full
control Of the government for over two
years. and what have they accom-
plished? The Department Of Labor,
in full control Of the Democrats, has
just issued a bulletin giving the result
of its inquiries as to the cost Of living,
which it says was higher in 1914
than before. The cost of filling the
market basket Of the average work.
ingmans family was $6.6S higher in
1914 than in 1913 under the protect
i've tariff. Fifteen articles, involving
about two-thirds Of the expenditure
for food by the average working.
mans family. were taken into con-
sideration in obtaining the result.
There is nothing new in this report.
Every well informed person knew
that prices were higher, despite the
great army Of workmen thrown out
Of employment by the free trade
party. The situation is much worse.
90 far as food prices are concerned.
at the present time. than was the
case in 1914. Prices have continued
to ascend so that many families are
forced to give up the use Of meats
and many other things they were
formerly accustomed to use regu-
larry. The Department Of Labor
does not give all Of the facts and it
makes the best possible showing for
the Democrats. But it has to ac-
knowledge that the cost Of living
was not increased by the protective
tariff. The increase TOOK place in all
countries. The prophecies Of Presi-
dent Wilson and his followers on
that subject have failed Of fulhllment

American labor should be protected
by tariff duties that at least equal the
difference in cost of production at
home and abroad. Temporary short
age Of world supply may maintain
prices for a time, as in the case of
wool. but placing on the free list COM
modities produced in competition with
cheap labor abroad must ultimately
bring hardship to American industry.
The American farmer should be aided
in borrowing money at rates of inter-
est as low as paid by others who give
security equally sound, but it is more
important that he be aided in securing
such price for his products as will re-
lieve him of the need of borrowing ex-
cept in case of emergency.

The Herald received an abusive anony-

no anonymous letter writer ever wanted

The Raby's Name,

Little Marshall, two years old, had
been to Sunday school with his mamma.
The teacher told the cradle class the
story Of the infant Moses placed in a
basket by his mother and how the basket
was then hidden in the weeds in the
water. The story impressed Marshall
very much.
Later in the day neighbor asked Mar
shall what the teacher talked about at
the Sunday school.
Baby in the water" Marshall an
swered.
who put the baby in the water?" the
neighbor asked.
His mamma" said Marshall.
What was the baby's name?"
Marshall thought momen- but was
unable to recall the name Of the baby
that had been secreted in the weeds. The
neighbor asked again. Marshall furrowed
his brow and tried hard to remember.
Finally his face lit up with a smile.
"Baby's name Kiddo'" he said.

Among the many inconsistencies Of
the Underwood tariff is the fact that
there is a 10 per cent. duty on cattle,
while all the imports which constitute
parts of the cattle are allowed into
the country free. For example while
the COW itself is subject to 10 per
cent duty yet the bones. hide, flesh,
hoofs, blood. horns, milk and hair Of
the COW are free. We are forced to
conclude with Representative Gardner
of Massachusetts, that 1.-The country

cept his sense of humor will keep him
from exploding when he hears of that

Harold Bailey. He said. have small
er farms and cultivate thoroughly, in
stead of having large, neglected farms.
He was followed by Fred Wright, Of
West Bath, who gave his experience in
clearing so acres of land. Charles
White followed, saying if one had pine
growing on unused land. let it grow.
| it would take care of itself and be Of
great value. Harold Shaw, the coun-
ty agent was called on, he agreed with
| Charles White. He was interested in
forestry. An acre Of pine could be
| set out with little expense and would
be much easier to care for than hoed
crops and would be valuable in short
time. Edwin Steward of Richmond,
John Buker and Edwin Patten follow
ed. They thought to keep more cows,
