Is he not permitted to exercise his

The tWenty-inile arc, running
from the Ancre river to the Som

by the great offensive of the En-

across the Bethunc road and in

to face a violent attack by the
Germans, which was beaten off,
the Germans being thrown in dis

The British gains included Ger

SPECIAL INDUCEMENTS
TO LIVE STOCK FARMERS

Atlanta, Ga, September 30
The Georgia land show executive
committee discussed plans Fri
day to stimulate the live stock in
dustry in this state by offering
special inducements to farmers of
the north and northwest to move
here and to establish live stock
farms.
Frank Reynolds, chairman of
the Georgia chamber Of COM
merce live stock committee, said
that 100 Georgia farms, ranging
from so acres to $50 acres, would
be offered at the coming Georgia
land show to farmers north of the
Ohio and west Of the Mississippi
river providing they would agree
to certain conditions.
First" said Mr.. Reynolds,
these farmers must guarantee to
us that they will bring live stock
from their country to this state
for the purpose Of entering into
the industry. They must agree
TO apply the entire acreage of the
farms to this purpose"
Industrial agents of a number
Of railroads have become interest
ed in the land show, according to
Mr.. Reynolds. The finance com
mittce Of the land snow commit
tee will meet some time next
week.
General headquarters for the
land show will be opened soon in
some location down town.
The land show will be held the
last week in January. Negotia-
tons are now being conducted
toward securing Sousa's band or
some other band of reputation.

DRAINAGE

Adequate drainage would add
greatly to the crop-value of the
level parts of Ben Hill. This is a
big task and requires time, sys-
tenn and labor. Wet land can be
partly drained by blowing mar
row lands the same way, year at
ter year, until a ridge is formed
and the double burrows will car
ry the surplus water off if they
are kept clean and if they open
INTO ditch. AS long as wet land
IS as flat as pancake sometimes
flatter) the water of heavy rains
will injurc, sometimes ruin, the
crop.
This level land will drink all it
wants, but when it is full bag
pipe cannot persuade it to drink
more
This back furrow blowing in
narrow lands is worth while be-
cause it affords a gathering place
tor the surplus water which takes
It away from the crop. If water
courses could be made straight
and kept clean these floods would
find the Atlantic sooner. Sections
along these sluggish streams and
about these headwaters, if they
can find any head, should organi-
re and have the sectionsurveyed
an d the best outlet determined.
and then work to that one pur-
pose.
Rice can be raised ON wet land,
now waste, and will pay the cost
OF draining in few years, when
other crops can be cultivated if
care is given to blowing the mar
row back furrow method, and
keeping the double furrow open.
This would also benefit health be-
cause of better air to breathe and
water to drink.

work. HOBBY.

the most thoroughly discredited Cabf-
net officer Of this or any other admin
istration. II ever a man In high pub
lie position merited the appellation OF
bluff" Josephus Daniels is, that
man.
But bluff" though he Is. there may
be some sense in the assignment. He
comes into the Congressional district
Of the Hon D. J. McGillicuddy. who Of
fers a stupendous "bluff' himself. No
better proof Of this is necessary than
the fact that in that statesman's IA
nous scheme for getting Androscoggin
votes by talking about an Androscog-
gin canal, his first move, as shown in
House Bill 467. was to ask Congress to
appropriate 100000 to build the canal.
Anyone. who knows how such things
have to be done in Washington, knows
that the thing to do first in such a
matter is to have Congress authorize a
preliminary examination and survey"
The 100000 appropriation was mere
buncombe. and could have been put
into the bill for no other purpose than
for it's effect upon THOSE Democrats
Of the Second district who know no
better than to attach importance to it..
McGillicuddy knew better; he was
simply playing bluff.
So there is, after all. something to be
said in favor of the Presidents choice
of a representative at the Lewiston
celebration. We have had the biggest
bluff" in Wilson's cabinet sent into
the State to show Administration favor
for the Congressman from the Second
district. "Why?" Possibly because
some Democratic statesmen would re-
fuse to be tied up with or identified
with the McGillicuddy campaign bluff

Huqhes's Provision,

The plank in this years Republican
platform which declares for a unifie
federal control Of transportation is
into party creed of
principle which the partys candidat
has long espoused. In January, 1905
Gov. Hughes, speaking at the Republi
can Club Of New York, said:
Il do not believe in government
ownership of railroads. But regu-
lation of interstate commerce is
essential to protect the people
from unjust determinations and to
secure safe, adequate and impartial
service upon reasonable terms and
in accordance with the obligations
of common carriers. Iapprove the
recent extension of the authority
of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission by what is known as the
rate bill, and l believe that the
commission should have the most
ample power for purposes of in
vestigation and supervision. and
for making rules and orders which
will enable it to deal to the fullest
extent possible within constitu-
tional limits with interstate
transportation in all its phases.
This is a just policy. The power
of Congress to fix rates for inter-
state transportation so as to pre-.
vent improper determinations and
to compel carriage upon reasonable
terms is undoubted. The sole
question is how. 1t Is manifestly
impossible for the legislative body
to make that thorough examina-
tion Of specific cases which in ius.
tice must precede action. The
exigencies of particular cases can
be met only by the painstakine
consideration Of an administrative
board. The alternative to that
policy is either the abandonment of
legislation or the sporadic legisla-
tive Intervention under the inf1u.
ence of agitation"
What Hughes stood for then. he an
his party stand for now. His provision
now finds expression in the platform
upon which he is a candidate for tn

We believe it." declares Mr.. Wilson.
Again words, always words; and
empty words, if we are to compare them
with the wavering, vacillating policy Of
Woodrow Wilson in handling foreign
relations, in maintaining American
rights on the oceans and in Mexico.
In this utterance we have either an
apology or a promise Of reformation.
Certainly we have nothing that ex-
emplifies Woodrow Wilson in action.
