to meet the emergency, having graduated
nearly 100 students in its single year of
existence.
That the Rockland school will continue

the merchant marine with officers for
steamships is evident from the fact that
there are 26 students in the school at the
present time; Is applications for admis-
sion to the School have been approved,
and more applications are being received
by Capt Magee constantly. The mails
brought him seven such applications
within "a hours

We have been purchasing large part
of our potash from Germany. Since we
entered the war our supply from there
has been cut off and there has been
shortage both here and in England and
Fra nee. By reason of this our agricul-
ture has been hampered. Germany has
boosted that she would be able to regain
her trade by refusing to sell potash to us
if we Guild not buy her other produce
tons This is proving to be an idle boast.
Sp ain has taken the opportunity to ex-
plot her potash resources with astonlsh-
ing success. There are also abundant
re asons for believing that our own sources
of potash are to be developed. We are
or adually finding that the world will con-
tinue to exist if Germany is blotted from
the map.

UNFOLDING HIS HANDS.

An insistent Democratic argument IN
the approaching campaign will be that
Republicans should disregard previous
marty affiliations and vote for Democratic
candidates in order to show confidence IN
President Wilson and in order to up
hold his hands" in the great work which
he has to do To uphold the hands OF the
President of the United States in the
great struggle of the nations of the world
is certainly the duty of US all; but to con-
tend that we can do this only by voting
for Democrat for United States Sena-
tor OF representative to Congress or Tor
anv other Democrat, is absurd. The truest
and best aid we can give the President IN
this great crisis is to choose for office
competent and experienced counsellors In
whose wisdom and patriotism we can
rightly trust Because the President is a
Democrat does not Danish wisdom from
Republican minds, nor patriotism from
Republican hearts; and Republicans who
NAV be elected to serve either State or
Nation may be depended upon to contrib
ute to the uphclding of the hands of the
President by their wisest thought and
most loyal effort To argue otherwise
would be inane.
The Republican party has heretofore
borne great responsibilities in stupen-
dous crisis and from the time of Lincoln
down to the present day, it has never
failed in loyalty to the nation; but it
recognizes the fact it is now facing
crisis and is we'll aware that it is chal-
leneed to send its wisest and best to the
council, that the hands of the President
NAV be wisely upheld, and that the dig
nitv and honor of the nation which it did
so much to save may be secure. There
fore we will vote for our Republican can
didates, and maintain our Republican
party. and be content and we may be
assured that by so doing we are placing
behind the President of the United States,
not one but two great parties, and are
giving to the great array of intelligence
now in control, the wisdom, loyalty and
sanity of our own party leaders. The
President should be glad that we do this,
because he is the President, not of the
Dem crats of the nation, but of the whole
nation, and the war is the whole nations

Anybody who has the money to pay
for it can 90 out on the street any day
and buy a wheelbarrow full of candy, but
if family needs sugar it is necessary to
get sugar card before any grocer dares
sell enough to sweeten BURBERRY pie.
Candy is such an essential product that
it would be calamity if the candy fac
tories should be put on as short sugar al
lowance as is the family. Sugar control
as far as the family is concerned has been
evolved into an absolutism. Only one
thing more can be done and that is to
order that a two cent revenue stamp
shall be placed on each and every sugar

Mexico Expects Big Cotton Crop.

A bumper crop of cotton is expected
this next year in Mexico. Indications
are that the cotton crop of the Laguna
district of the states of Coahulia and
Durango will be three times as great
as for the past year, when it amounted
to more than half million bales of a
total value of ten million dollars. None
Of it was exported, but 1t was all con-
sumed In the factories Of the republic.

We have been sending The Journal to
the Office of several Maine weeklies and
have received copies Of other papers in
return. This was a $3.50 convenience
and enabled the editor to keep in touch
with State happenings, and to present
such as were of interest to the readers OF
his paper. Now, however, we are order
ed to discontinue this exchange in order
to save paper. The Journal does not OBJ
ject to this order which will result in our
case in the saving of six or seven cents
worth of paper each week. We will re-
mark, however, that in no print shop in
the United States is there so much paper
wasted as in the government printing
establishment. Their daily waste runs
I'D into tons Nearly all the stuff printed
there is intended for public distribution
Not one person in ten thousand reads it,
Almost every day some of it is sent to
every newspaper in the United States. 1t
is worthless as news because the news
papers have previously published all that
was of any value 1t is not in the slight
est degree entertaining and it goes into
the waste basket. While we are saving
paper at the spigot, we would like to have
the waste stopped at the bung.

covered that inertia is yielding to pro-
gress. Not much can be said in CON-
mendation of what was done prior to
three months ago. We are not yet max
ing swift fighting or scouting planes but
we are turning out heavy bombing planes
at the rate of about IS per week. These
heavy planes are used for carrying war
into Germany and behind the front, the
purpose being the destruction of bridges,

"CHARITABLE" GERMANY

"The brutality of German peace is
as abominable as the cruelty of Ger
man war" says The Cleveland Plain
Dealer. Fallen Russia must give up
all her western provinces. She must
retire from her conquests in Turkey
and abandon Armenia to the butch
ers. Moreover, she must give the
Turk Russian territory in Trans-Cau-
casia which has not been fought for
and which has not before been men
toned. She must grant Germany free
access to everything in Russia that
Germany desires. On these ter ms
Germany consents to give peace and
to cease from ravaging a defenseless
land"
What would Germany do to the rest
of the world if she had the opportu-
nifty?

OPPORTUNITY KNOCKED

The beautiful AL Ringing theatre
was offered to the people of Baraboo
as a gift from Ringing Brothers.
Objections arose and the offer has
been withdrawn.
What next?
Can those who shouted in opposition
answer the question.
The public would be glad to know.
Of course Ringing Brothers would
not permit the question to come to a
vote. Who would? If the taxpayers
we're not willing to meet them half
way there was nothing else to do.
Now, are the people of the city to
regret what has been done? Time
will tell. What of others who may
desire to remember Baraboo? Will
they feel like even attempting to do
something for the city. Summing it
all up it looks as if opportunity had
knocked but the door was not open on

Seventeen cents a day is all that is
required to feed the average indiVid-
ual and give him sufficient fuel force
to run his body properly, was the
statement by DR.. J. l.. Henderson at
the Harvard Medical school. The ar
ticles of food which make possible so
low a living cost he gave as corn
meal or hominy, oatmeal, -four, lard,
potatoes, sugar, bread, beans, dates,
olive oil, raisins, dried apples, cheese
and butter. American marketing, he
said, is responsible largely for the
high cost of living.

THE PRICE OF WHEAT

The most forcible argument used in
the senate in favor of increasing the
price Of wheat to $3.50 bushel was
that the acreage would dangerously
diminish and production be curtailed
if the price were left at 1920. AS for
the acreage, winter wheat was sowed
last fall and the acreage Of it was in
creased. Spring wheat lands in the
west art now being plowed. Chicago
advices from the northwest are to the
effect that the acreage will be larger
than in several years and that Canada
will make an exceptional effort to get
a large corp. Seeding has already be-
gun in South Dakota, whence threats
of decreased production have come to
disturb congressional food economists.
The spring wheat crop was a cOmpar-
ative failure last year in Minnesota
and the Dakotas, which raise about IS
per cent of this cereal. and it is
hardly probable that the acreage will
be cut down any this year because the
governments wheat prices are deemed
too low. If the producers should in
effect go on a strike in order to force
a higher price out of the government
it would be just as well to pay them
a direct subsidy on every bushel of
wheat as to raise the price. An in
creased price would be enormously
costly to Great Britain, France and
Italy, which must depend mainly upon
America for this grain.-Springfield
Republican.

What is the great struggle in which

the great democracies of Europe? 1t
is the struggle of the ages, which has
been set out in the familiar term of
might against right. For decades, as
Mr.. Wilson has pointed out, the rulers
of the German empire prepared for
this struggle which, when the day
dawned, was to seat the German peo-
pie in armed dominion over the world,
and to enforce German kultur, nolens

as un-German as they could succeed

as un-German as they could succeed
in being. Liberty to the German rul-
ers did not mean the liberty of a man
to pursue his own way in his search
for happiness and truth. 1t meant
only the liberty of the war lord and
his lieutenants to enforce upon the
world what they considered goods for

slumbered in ignorance, the rulers Of
Germany pushed toward this goal

raine, were transferred to German heg-
emory, in order that kings of Prussia
and emperors of Germany might find
for their dominions place in the sun,
or might insure their last conquests
from the possibility of wars of re-
venge. When, however, the day came
that this theory was to be put to it's
great test, Europe fortunately proved
to be awake, even if it was unprepared.
And, as the months passed, and it be-
came clear what the struggle was all
about, the great republic across the
Atlantic reused itself, too, to take it's
part in the battle, determined, in the
words of Lincoln, that liberty should
not perish from the earth, but that on
the contrary, in the great phrase of
Mr.. Wilson, the world should be made
safe for democracy-Christian Science

CAUSE OF THE WAR

James w Gerard, former ambassa
dor to Germany, in his new book, gives
the following as the cause of the world
war:
The immediate cause of Ger
many's going to war was the feel
ing on the part of the autocracy
that the people would not much
longer bear the yoke of miitarism.
That this fear had justification
was shown by the enormous vote
of lack of confidence in the reichs-
tag after the Zabern affair. At all
costs autocracy must be preserved
and if in addition the world could
be conquered, so much the better.
