Two small college teams played a

10S points to the others nothing, yet
the most sensational run OF the game

An Honrable Desertion

Rome--An Alpine soldier
named Flnimondo, who in the
TrIpoli war single handed killed
seven Arabs, using the bayonet,
was sent TO the Italian trout
shortly after the outbreak of
war. Recently growing disgusted
and tired of trench warfare, he
had deserted. Since apparant
proof of his desertion was avail
able he was court-martaled in
his absence and condemned to
die as a traitor. Finimondo has
now unexpectedly retuned,
wearing the uniform of an Aus
trlan officer. He reported that
he purposely deserted with the
object of securing valuable in
formation from the enemy and
thus earn another medal similar
to that which he was awarded in
the Tripoli war. The desc er"
explained that he used stones to
kill Austriahs guarding him, in
cludinR al officer, whose uniform
he was now wearing. He then
collected such valuable informa-
tlon with regard to the Austrian
positions, strength, location and
their guns that the sentence of
death was revoked. 1t is eX
pected that Finimondo will be
decorated instead of punished.

One of the wonders of the an.

greatest of them, was the pyra-
mids of Egypt. And yet some

when Chenps began building the
great pyramid that bears his
name. Beneath the shadow of
the pyramids Napoleon said to
his troops: 'F)rty centuries look
down upon you" In the shadow
of the big trees of California one
might say: Eighty centuries s
look down upon yon." There
are trees in the grove estimated
by scientists, among them John
Muir, the eminent naturalist, to
be 5000 and even 10000 years
old.
Inc oldest living things In the
world today are these giant trees.
Also the species of vegetation to
which thev belong is the Oldest
In the world. The sequoia trees,
exactly like that Of California,
tlourished several millions OF
years ago. We know that be-
cause we find Their fossil remains

Sam Mccall q "Reaetionary."

Here is a poor ninny who signs HIM
self "Bull Mooser" writing a Boston
paper to abuse Gov. Mccall as a
'standpat and reactionary." That ele-
ment OF unforgiveable meanness, lurk-
ing under the skin Of some Of the
men who jumped into the Progressive
party. killed the organization. When
nothing else could be said against a
man who refused to be domineered and
trodden upon because he failed to see
all the kihooting, joy-forever. legisla-
tive cure-alls that the wildest-eyed
could dream, he was at once denounced
as reactionary or standpat, or both,
by some Of these. -
This pin-head probably never knew
enough Of affairs to understand, or had
interest enough to read, that Sam Nc
Call was the Progressive pioneer, the
original 'insurgent" against the prac-
tees that a party long in power is
liable to build up. Is it any wonder
that honest men refused to long be held
as partners Of such cowardice as this
class Of anonymous letter writing
abuse?

Daniels Advises the Press.

Secretary of the Navy Daniels has
let 1t be known that he thinks the
press Of the country talks too much.
He has written the Brooklyn Press
Club that, 80 far as possible American
newspapers ought to support the for
eign policy of a President, whatever
party be in power in time Of grave in
ternational crisis"
The secretaries, big and little, may
come and go but the great American
spirit of independence and habit of
thinking and acting independently,
have come to stay. When the people
believe their President, or their secre-
taries. or any other of their servants
are right, they will give approval, and
when they believe employees are wrong
they will say so.
Secretary Daniels has given the
country one service of which coming
generations will approve-the abolish
ment of the booze idiocy in the Ameri-
can navy. But he has also done and
said things of which the great mass of
Americans disapprove. Chief of these
is his habit Of turning his mouth loose
and giving his brain a vacation at the
same time.
If Secretary Daniels would say less
and saw more the administration
would have more hackers.

Fooiino the People.

Hearings on the defense bills have
only just begun in Congress. and 1t took
only three days to disclose that 1t Will
be another year at least before any
thing is done on the building Of the
battleships which were authorized q
year ago. 1t will be March, 1917. be-
fore a penny will be spent on the naval
building program which was adopted
prior to March. 1915.
These admissions, wrung from Ad-
miral Stanford in his testimony before
the House naval committee, shed a
light Of comprehension upon Secretary
McAdoo's estimate of only $93,000,00
additional required for national de-
Tense this year-when the naval plan
and army plans which the President
had sanctioned called for much more
money.
This episode brings to the front and
emphasizes anew the persistent policy
of this administration in trying to fool
people. McAdoo's cooked financial
statements. Redfield's incomplete sta
tistics. Danielss stirring demand for
warships-even the Presidents rhetor-
ical notes to Germany and Australia
seem predicated upon the theory that
the people like to be humbugged.

One Of the Bugbears.

Editor kennebec Journal:
Is there State law that will
stop say half a dozen farmers from
sending Tor a car Of grain and go
ing to the car when it comes and
getting it and hauling it home?
There is a farmers union start
ed here and I was told today that
we could not have grain come and
take it from the car without a
place Of business. Will you please
tell me what the State law is in
regard to same.
Corinna, Me-, Jan. "a.
We know of no law that discrimi-
mates in any such manner as sug-
gested by our correspondent. If any
such law exists it is high time it was
brought to light, by the Corinna farm
srs' union or any other group of citi-
zens.
We have been told of various pecul-
lar methods adopted by those who op-
pose farmers unions, and by those who
would secure as profits the margins
saved by groups Of farmers dealing di-
rect with large wholesale concerns, but
this bare-faced pretense and libel on
American government. is the worst to
date.
If Corinna farmers order a carload
of grain they will naturally name one
of their number as consignee. but any
number may have grain in the lot and
they may deliver it according to their
own agreement, after the railroads bill
and regulations have been met.
So far as place Of business" is
concerned, we believe most farmers
have all the place Of business they can
attend to, and when they want any
legitimate article for use in that place
of business, and can pay foe it, we
rather guess Maine law will always see
that the way Is open b them. II not.
