Mayor Wright is right. We should
spare the birds. There is no good in
permitting such sport. And in these
times of trying to conserve everything
the cost OF such guns and ammunition
and the labor used in the sport might
very properly be directed in other and
useful channels.

The presidents speech to congress
sounds like an early peace to US. We
are more strongly entrenched in our
view that the war will end before the
spring and that President Wilson is
the man Of destiny to bring lasting
peace to the world The same that
we said more than two years ago be-
fore this country was engaged.

Color and Horse Character.

An old cavalry officer says that one
may judge the: constitution and char
acter of a horse from it's color. Bright
chestnuts and light bays are high spir-
tied, but nervous and delicate. Dark
chestnuts and glossy blacks are hardy
and good tempered. Rich bays have
great spirit, but are teachable. Dark
and iron grays are hardy and sound,
while light grays are the opposite.
Roans, either strawberry or blue, are
the hardest and best working of all,
even tempered. easiest to train. taking
kindly to everything. Rusty blacks are
distinguished for their pig-headedness.
A horses "white stockings" give an
other clew to character horse with
one white leg is bad one, with two
its temper is uncertain, with three it is
absolutely safe, with four may be
trusted for a while only.

Transportation Problem Acute.
1t is admitted that the transporta-
ZION facilities Of our country, as well
as our transoceanic shipping, under
lie our ability to carry the present war
TO successful conclusion. The war
has, indeed, brought us face to face
with "a problem in transportation that
is vital and critical. There is not
business community from one end of
the country to the. other that is not
dealing with the question. A con-
gestion has arisen that has affected
almost every factory in the United
States and even extended to our homes.
The New York Barge canal offers
solution to many Of our transportation
problems. This waterway-and~it may
be called the most important canal In
the United States-has been thrown,
open at time when its usefulness can
be fully appreciated, and when it can
fulfill mission not dreamed Of by
its original projectors. 1t can easily
carry total Of ten million tons Of
freight and this is as much as can be
carried on One-fifth of all the freight
cars on all the rail lines in the United
States. 1t is equivalent to what could
be carried on a string of freight cars
which, if placed end to end, would ex-
tend from Denver to New York city.

SELLING Money q Business in China.

In China dealing in money is bust
ness, one of the flourishing industries
of the country, says World Outlook.
There are shops that deal in nothing
else-money exchange shops. You will
find one in nearly every twisted little
street in every city, often merely little
holes in the wall, where skull-capped
proprietor sits behind brass railing
with little piles of money on each side
of him and swiftly fingers his counting
board. Here you go shopping for
money, just as you go for white fan
mel, suits, eggs, green jade and Can
ton silk-and you bargain just as long
and just as hard in the oblique and
devious ways of the Orient. A ma
tional currency system there is not.
The coins, like the dialects, change as
you go from city to city.

When the Americans left Russia
they say -four sold at a dollar and
twenty-five cents a pound and that
T., was seldom obtainable at any
price. The price of sugar was So a
nound and the staple was scarce at
that.
The refugees say that starvation
had become SO prevalent in Moscow
that late in August the food commits
sion was forced to remove all regula-
tons on citizens and permitted them
to enter the city with sixty pounds
of food each. This step, it was as
serted was an admission of the fail
ure of the food commission which
had bread and was forced, through
the pressure of the rebelling citizens
to let the people take the food supply
into their own hands.
Wheat and other grains were not
available, as the peasants in the gram
sections still under Soviet rule re-
fused to feed the cities. Potatoes
and other vegetables were selling at
twenty five cnts pound. They are
the chief food supply of Moscow and
Petrograd. Workmen of Moscow
and Petrograd factories cannot ob-
tain food from the commission which
have advised them 70 shoulder rifles
and take the grain away from the
rcasants. This advice has seldom
been needed as majority OF the
workmen regard the peasants as
brothers. Wholesale charges OF the
Bolshevik newspapers that the Bour-
ceoisie are wholly responsible for the
food shortage no longer quiet the
hungry Lahore s, whose faith in the
Bolsheviki is waning appreciably.
The promises of Leon TrotZky, the
Bolshevik foreign minister to quetl
the Czecho- Slovak rising and tap the
supply Of wheat, no longer are gen
orally credited.
Russia, the refugees say, has a
bumper wheat and rye crop IN Vlr-
tually all the grain sections. Much
Of the grain has already been mar
vested but the Bolshevlki have Moth
er the organization nor the trans
nortation facilities to obtain bread
for the starving cities which scarce
" can be expected to drag through
n brcadicss winter without turning
against a government whose policy
has lost the wheat districts.

HON. ELMER z. NEWBERT
Sneak. from Automobile Saturday
Even;no at Market Square

Hon Elmer L. Newpert OF this clty
Democratic candidate for United States
senator, spoke from his automobile sat
urday evening at Market square, ad-
dressing a good-szed audience. Ernest
l.. Mclean introduced the speaker. Ma
sic was furnished by the Hallowell Fife
and Drum Corps.
In introducing the speaker Mr.. Nc
Lean paid him many compliment upon
his career as mayor of Augusta and as
State treasurer
Just before Mr. Eewbert started TO
speak, however, something happened.
Someone in the audience, whose name
has not yet come to light, said IN
tone that could be heard by all pres
ent. something to the effect that Mr..
Newbert was the biggest liar in Maine
and should be introduced as such" And
ual to .hire, hail. 1t was all over
in a minute, but it created no little
laughter and comment
Mr.. Newbert opened his talk by tell
ing his audience about the long trip
throughout Maine which he has made
in this campaign. and about the number
of people he had addressed on the tour.
He then informed the people that the
press of Maine is Republican and he
paid his respects to the Kennebec Jour
nay with many an uncomplimentary re-
mark.
Regarding the stenosraphic report OF
his speech at Bath on Aug. "a. and the
stenographers sworn statement Of It
which appeared in the press, Mr.. New
bert said he didn't know Bessie R.
Brown. but said he would not have been
so foolish as to have made statements
contained in that report and did net
make them.
Mr.. Newbert said that he takes no
second place for any man in his zeal for
! his home and country in time of war
and peace. and that he stands for 100 per
cent. Americanism. In his opinion east
ern Maine is Democratic and western
| Maine the same He said he had never
abused Governor Milliken on the stump.
! nor had Governor Milliken been abused
by any speaker while he (Mr. Newbert)
! was present.
Then followed words of praise for
President Wilson. Secretary Baker ana
Secretary Daniels. and the speaker
| made his appeal for the men to vote the
| Democratic ticket.
