Editorial Comment
Maine Congressman on the MeLemore
Matter.

Maine Congressman on the MeLemore
Matter.
(Lewiston Journal.)
The attitude of Congressman Peters
on the foreign situation is to his
ton and declined to play into Bern
storffs hands after the manner of
Mann and other leaders.
Mr.. Peters not only voted on the
subject but with others organized a
movement to get Republicans to vote
for the adoption of the rule which
would enable them to vote on the Nc
Lemore resolution. Mann and others
wanted Republicans to vote against
the rule so that thu matter could not
come up. This was a subterfuge-a
way to avoid voting on the matter. a
literal de-stepping Of the whole bust
ness.
Congressman Peters and his
friends, by petitions, got the Com
mittee on Rules to bring in a straight
vote on the resolution. This was ac-
ccmplished by the aid Of Democrats.
Guernsey and Kinds supported Mr..
Peters and Mr. McGillicuddy had
to stand by the administration as a
matter Of course, so the result was
equivalent to a solid delegation from
Maine, backing up the government in
Ia critical hour.
We are pleased to record our
appreciation Of the loyalty and
common sense of Mr.. Peters in this
matter immeasurably higher than the
small-politics Of those who under pre-
tense Of object to gag-rule would have
sacrificed every principle Of national
self-respect for law and order.

In the United States Senate Senator
Weeks has cast a bombshell into the
ranks of the Democrats by pointing
out to them in forceful manner the ef-
feet of the Tillman bill appropriating
311,000.O00 for the erection of govern
ment armor plant. Mr.. Weeks, in an
exhaustive discussion, pointed out that
through fear that a few private con-
Germs. composed of a great number of
stockholders and employing a vast
number Of workmen. might make a
few thousands Of dollars profit Sena-
tor Tillman and his fellow Democrats
would launch the government on a
hazardous enterprise which, before
they were through with it, would I'M
questionably cost the public many mil
lions in excess Of the cost now esti-
mated. would entail an expense entire
ly disproportionate to any good which
might be effected. He pointed out that
in an emergency the government could
always compel private factories to de-
liver their goods to the government.
but by permitting those factories to
continue in business and to supply for
eign nations. especially the South Am
erican republics. these factories would
be supported in times when the gov
eminent demand was slack by foreign
orders and with no expense to the gov
eminent. He pointed out the immense
benefit to Germany which had resulted
from the worldwide business Of the
Krupps. business which had resulted
in the maintenance Of the greatest and
best-equipped mills in the world and
the accumulation Of vast stores of raw
and partly finished material. designed
to be sold to foreign nations, but all
Of which was available to Germany
when war came.

tiers straight where eros may be dis
covered. as we are. But a careful
study Of the printed report shows the
town to be in much worse financial
condition than is generally under
stood. Instead Of more than $4,000 in
the treasury as publicly circulated at
town meeting. there seems to be q
deficit Of about $500.
II this cannot be satisfactorily ex-
planned it should be considered by the
legal voters Of the town before the

Maine Gossip

1.-THE Love Of 8yssns Dreams"
IT'S but the scent OF blooming lines,
Blown on some vaSrant breeze
That takes me back to olden times,
And to the old homestead.
Strange that q perfume Of q flower
loved in early years
Should move me with wistful power,
And dim my eyes with tears.
I pass adown shadowy track.
Lit up by sunny CLEANS,
And to my side comes smiling back
The love Of bygone dreams.
Again I wandered to and fro
In the old familiar place,
And watch the sunlight come and go
On q well-beloved face.
I hear the bees hum round the flowers,
And through the fragrant air.
Tho golden dust floats down in showers
Upon that golden hair.
Oh, murmuring trees. oh, fragrant breeze
Oh. waving, whispering lines:
Oh, there to be again with thee
Ny love Of olden times.

As the days begin to 1engthen,

And catch that "Square-Tail" foxy.
That's eluded US SO nicely every year.
A. the sun comes up the mountain,
Making every stream a fountain.
And the baimy smell Of spring is in the

Then we have a spell of wishing,
TO go out and try the fishing
Forgetting all our work and all our care.

can't you see the rain-drops falling,
AS they patter on the roof and window
pane?

Monday. There are five foreign ships
at anchor and half a dozen more at

is lying down in the lower harbor
punched up with the rest and flying
the Stars and Stripes. The Herbert
G. Wylie, the Transportation and the
lumber steamer Richmond, which are
above the bridge, are also flying the
same. The Richmond surprised every
body by steaming into the harbor early
yesterday morning, closely following
tho Wylie. which has on board more
than million gallons of crude oil for
the Mexican people. The Richmond
has q heavy cargo of hard pine and
went up to the old Maine Central clay
dock to take cut her deck load Of

more are to follow. as the uncertain

longer. especially on lumber intended
