WALDO COUNTY'S SENATOR.
Bangor Daily News. /


Waldo county has but one seat in the
State Senate, but this is most ably filled
by Hon. Charles NJ Conant of Winter
port, who enters upon his third term
with the opening of the 18th Legislature.
Mr.. Conant has many business inter-
ests, his service takes much valuable
time and he has not sought the nomlna-
ton but the Republicans of the county
have always been insistent upon his can
didacy.
Mr.. Conant is native of Winterport
and lives upon the old homestead where
he was born. From 1875 to 1883 he de-
voted his time to farming. In the latter
year he established an agricultural i'm
plement and seed store in Bangor. By
his excellent ability and square dealing
the business grew and was remarkably
successful and in 1906 it was Incorporated
as the C. M. Conant Co., Mr.. Conant be-
ing made President and Treasurer. He
still cultivates and resides on his farm of
two hundred acres in Winterport. Mr..
Conant has always been staunch Re
publican and has held town offices. He
has been a member of Penobscot Lodge
No. 7, Independent Order of Odd Fellows
of Bangor, since 1885, also, of the United
Commercial Travellers. and of Morning
Light Grange. No, 10, Patrons of Hus.
bandry, since 1875, having held several
offices, including that of Master.
Mr.. Conant, it is needless to say has a
wide acquaintance in this section OF
Maine. His knowledge of the needs and
| conditions of Waldo county and his ex-
| perierce will make him one of the most
valuable members of the upper branch
and he will no doubt receive many import
| ant committee assignments.

embargo which would shut off or curtail

embargo which would shut off or curtail
exports and thereby reduce prices for
the home consumer. There is also much
opposition to any legislative enactment
of this kind. Since, however, it has be-
come difficult for wage-earners to pay
the prices that are now demanded for
ordinary necessities, not to say anything
of the more common Injuries. many peo-
pie will expect Congress to find means
of affording relief.
Not much progress has been made in
naval construction or military prepared
ness, and nothing has been done under
the provisions of the ship purchase bill.
The indefniteness of steps already taken
is certain to impress upon members of
the present administration the necessity
of further legislation in order to avoid a
confession of practically complete fall
ure.
Congress will meet on December 4th
and will probably adjourn for the holt
DAYS about the 21st. Some of the ap-
propriation committees will hold infor-
NAL sessions before Congress meets and
will get some of the appropriation bills
in tentative shape before adjournment
for the holidays. The short session OF
Congress is always busy one, notwith-
standing general legislation IS not usual
ly taken up. The coming session will be
no exception to the rule.

The Coming Session of Con-
greSS.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20, 1916. The short
session of Congress, which will meet on
the first Monday of December and ad-
journ on the third of March, will have
presented for its consideration some of
the most important questions that have
ever called for legislative action in the
Urited States. The present administra-
ton, Democratic in both Houses of Con-
gress and at the White House, will en-
deavor to complete some of the legisla-
tive policies it has undertaken.
1t is acknowledged by the Democrats
that the so-called eight-hour legislation,
which is in reality wage-increase law,
is not complete and there will be de-
mand on the part of both the employers
and employees that the administration
t axe some action to make the law more
definite and specific in its language and
to make it as comprehensive and as per-
manent in character as this administra-
ton intends to make it. The question of
compulsory arbitration will also be up for
consideration in this connection.
Il is recognized, even among Demo-
Gratis, that the so-called anti-dumping
provision of the last revenue bill is en-
tirely inadequate and will be Ineffective
as a protection against the competition
of cheap foreign products after the war.
While it is scarcely to be expected that
The Democratic administration will take
any action looking to the reinstatement
of protective tariff policy there will be
demand among the business men of the
country for some legislation that will
prepare this country for after-the-War
conditions.
The passage of appropriation bills for
the ordinary and perhaps extraordinary
expenses of the government, will also
present a perplexing problem for the
present administration. Revenues are
VIGOROUSLY inadequate, and yet the gen.
eral policy of the present administration
in the creation of new commissions and
in authorization of the new governmental
enterprises will call for appropriations
nearly as large as were made in the last
session of Congress, which was record
breaker in large expenditures of public
funds.
The higher cost of living has become
serious problem to the wage earners of
the country and it is altogether likely
that there will be strong demand from
the consuming public that Congress make
some effort to check the steady advance
in prices of the necessities of life. There
has been much agitation in favor of an

How a Man Who Landed on Wood Pile
and Was Sore from Head to Foot
Found Quick Relief.

Once upon a time Edwin Putnam, who
lives in the quiet, pretty hamlet of Wen
del Depot, Mass, climbed up into loft
to get some building material, just as
many another man living in the country
must often do. Suddenly he slipped and
fell. Ten feet below was pile of wood,
knotted and gnarled. 1t was a nasty
tumble, and Mr.. Putnam was injured
painfully in the back, he was covered
with bruises and was sore from head &c
foot,
The next day he bought bottle OF
Sloan's Linlment which had been recon-
mended to him. Within a very few

lameness had disappeared. He was ar

1t is reported in army circles that
strong recommendations will be made in
the forthcoming annual reports for the
abandonment of the army horse and
mule and the substitution of the motor
tractor for the hauling of heavy artillery.
1t is claimed that the cost of mainten-

quires little expense when not in use,

that tractor will turn heavy gun in a

Because there is little prospect of re-

vice, under the policies pursued by an
administration such as this, men who are
really ambitious to serve the country eff

fall into ruts. AS President Wilson adj
mts, the development and the stimula.

In his last speech of the campaign,
President Wilson made one admission
which received no public attention but
which is of vast Importance, in view OF
the tendency toward government owner
ship. Discussing the enlargement OF the
service of the Department of Agrlcul-
ture. he said that "the whole process has
illustrated very noteworthy and inter-
esting fact, the stimulation and develop
ment come from outside the government
rather than from inside the depart
ments." This is one of the most serious
objections to government ownership. In
the government service there is no en-
enlargement for individual effort. This
has been especially true under the Wilson
administration. Men in the ranks in the
different departments see no incentive to
extra effort and no reward for specially
valuable service, tor the higher positions
are frequently filled by men of no expert
ence and with no claim TO recognition ex-
cept the political service they have rem
dered in the past.

Heard at the National Capital.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20, 1916. What
ever explanations may be made by those
interested, the fact is indisputable that
the army preparedness act of the Will
son administration has been a miserable
failure. Under the old law the maximum
authorized strength of the army was
113, 564, and there was then an actual
strength of sc, COZ. The new law author
lied an emergency increase of 20, 600 and
made changes in the law which were de-
signed to increase enlistments. In the
last thirteen months only H., $50 men
have enlisted and the strength is now
placed at SO, 257, or IA, 307 below the au-
thorized strength of the old law and
more than 90 900 below the maximum OF
the new law The fact probably is that
in spite of the strenuous efforts made by
the administration to persuade men to
enlist, there has been such general lack
of confidence in the Wilson management
of military affairs that comparatively
few men cared to enlist, even when they
had the inducement of active service.
