Wilson and Business
and now a word about Wilson and
elected. the business of New England was
healthy and prosperous. When, however,
it became known that the government
had passed into the hands of the southern
Democrats and that Bryan, Daniels and
men of their type, had become the chos
en- advisers of the President, commerce
and trade began to lag and the line of
unemployed to lengthen. After the Re-
publican party split and Wilson was
elected" Mr.. Bird continued, che began
to attack business to smash big units
of production into small competing units
"a ruinous policy long ago discarded by
all the big industrial countries Of the
world.
IF we are to compete successfully with
the worlds trade we must encourage
large units of production as they are en-
couraged in other industrial countries.
Wilson dissolved the tobacco trust, sepa-
rated the telephone from the telegraph
companies and smashed the Harvester
trust. Has, In the meantime. the price Of
tobacco or farm machinery been low
cred ?"
In 1914, less than two years after Will
son was elected panic was upon us.
Capital became frightened. The price of
labor fell Soup kitchens were started
and four million respondent men and
women walked the streets searching for
work.
That was the answer to Wilson's
boast that the Democratic party had
lifted human labor from the category
of commodities. In less than two years
It made labor a useless commodity for
which there was no demand.
Does the wage of today, the wage
that comes largely from blood, murder
and outrage. obscure our vision to the
want and restitution Of two years
lago?"

Russians reporting successes near
Vladimir Volynski and a continuance
Of their advance toward the plains of

tentions with regard to her future stand
in the war, but unofficial reports say that

lice the task Of arresting Austro-Gernan

Governor Curtis is quoted as saying
at Auburn, last Friday night:
You people are not aware that
you've been paying the campaign ex-
penses of the Republican party in the
State, Just as for 20 years the Republi
can campaign expenses OF the city of
Portland were paid out OF the state
liquor agency. That's how they stayed
in power so long, but the Democrats
are in charge now, and have stopped
all that.
why. let me tell you of one case
that I know about. governor of this
gusta bank. OF that $4,000 went to
Bangor for campaign expenses. OF
course he was disturbed about paying
these notes, but he was told by certain
gentlemen not to worry about it.
When the legislature was in session an
innocent looking bill providing for the
printing of some old records was in
troduced. I never would have known
anything about it but my old friend.
Luther Mckenney of Bridgton. called
my attention to it. That bill down in
it contained the provision that the
State should buy 10000 copies Of this
old record at $3.50 a volume. There
was the plan. The man would print

Recognizing the importance OF
statement like this coming from man
holding the responsible position OF
chief executive of the State, the Ken
nebec Journal made haste to investi-
gate. It was believed the report of the
meeting might be in error. 1t was be-
lieved, if challenged, Governor Curtis
would name the particular bill to
which he referred as would seem only
lust after such a serious charge. But
no. A Journal representative finally

he declared, because if l am l shall
have to call names and 1 do not pro-
pose to do that"
And yet the Journal has been able
to identify with reasonable certainty
the bill meant by the Governor.

Wilson's Failure

Il am opposed to Wilson because
believe his administration has been a
dismal failure. both in foreign and do
mestic affairs. l agree that he has
forced through Congress some legis-
lation for which he deserves credit
but as an executive. as a leader of
thought, as a man of action, positive
and direct. he has failed. His foreign
policy in Mexico and Europe has been
marked by vacillation, hesitation, in
action.

THE PEACE MOVEMENT.
From the Hawaii Hochi. J

The American Peace Society, which
Is led by Ex-President Taft, Ex-Sec-
rotary Bryan and Andrew Carnegie,
has requested President Wilson to
act as arbitrator in the European war,
and its reason Is that both sides of
the fighting nations are getting weak
er and weaker. and there is ample
evidence that both sides desire peace,
as well as all neutral nations.
For some time the question Of arbi-
tration has been suggested. At the
same time there was cry THAT we
are confident of the victory of our
respective military forces and are de-
termined to fight this war to finish,
and will not have peace till that
time,p by the english, French and
German representatives. We received
a cablegram that the emperor of Ger
many intended to ask the Pope to act
as peacemaker, but Lord Cecil of the
English cabinet declared that he had
not received any peace proposal from
any of the fighting countries, and the
president. of France made a similar
statement.
1t is not for us to discuss whether
these reports are correct or not, but
1t is q fact that the word peace" or
arbitration" as so often reported late
ly may come from a battling country,
or be circulated by the neutral coun-
tries. II is a question whether these
battling nations will consent to the
American peace movement or not, for
the German side, though wishing
peace as well as all neutral nations,
will not have equal rights with the al
lance before they capture Verdun
where they are fighting. The Alliance
countries have almost enveloped the
enemy and are in position to stand
as long as their enemy will suffer;
they can wait till the proper time to
get better terms from the German
alliance. Under the present circum-
stances neither side can propose
terms of peace. 1t may be almost too
soon for the American Peace Society
to take action for peace, but the soci.
ety's great movement may bring both
sides to peace sooner than expected
1t Is our opinion that about the end
of this summer or the beginning Of
autumn will be the proper time for
the United States to act as arbitra.
tor in this great war.
