On a Wilson Platform

(Albany IN. " Evening JournaD
OF the candidacy of Mr.. Cox it can
be said that whatever remote chance
of success that it might otherwise
have is destroyed by the fact that he
stands upon the platform made by
Wilson. The Democratic paramount
issue is the subsection of the United
States to the supergovernment of
heterogeneous nations, the sacrifice
of it's independence, the notification
of constitutional rights. . The Repub-
lican party has declared for the firm
maintenance of constitutional govern
ment, the safe guarding of American
rights, the restoration of American
prosperity through encouragement
and aid to productive enterprise. for
the protection and promotion of all
American interests. The choice which
the people Of the United States will
declare at the polls next November
cannot be in reasonable doubt.

Their HIuM Called.

The Spa conference. as the Ger
mans are finding out, is not a case of
when bluff meets bluff. 1t il rather
when bluff meets business like deter
mination to end all whining and
sentimental pretense.
Wednesday must have been a
strenuous and exciting day in Spa.
In the morning German Chancellor
Fehrenbach and Foreign Minister
Simons talked like this:
1.-The German delegation regrets
that the conference may be dissolved
without further agreement but we
have done as mu.h as we could and
await the action Of the Allies"
Here was an evident out-and -out
determination to wreck the whole
process Of negotiations and put the
responsibility on the Allies. How
like former German methods this
was! And how easily it could be
seen through!
In the afternoon Lloyd George re-
ceived Minister Simons and told him
that the Allies were not bluf1ng
though the Germans might be, and
that unless the Germans met the
terms regarding the execution of the
Versailles treaty in respect to coal the
Ruhr region would be occupied.
Later. probably in the evening. the
Germans were said to have accepted
the Allies demand for the delivery OF
100000 tons Of coal monthly. If al
the last moment they show signs OF
weakening and trying to squirfn out
of performing their obligations under
the treaty which they signed, they
must expect Allied troops to move
east. All details have been arranged
for the occupation of the Ruhr
should this be necessary. Marshal
Foch Of France and Field Marshal
Wilson of the British staff are on
the ground and ready.
The Allied premiers have refused
to consider the payment Of repara-
tions or anything else between them
selves and the Germans until the
coal question is settled. Hence, even
if the coal question is now out of the
way, it was only a preliminary and
the real business is yet to follow
Germany has more coming to her.

AROOSTOOK FARM
ERS' FEDERATION
PROSPERS

Caribou, Me-, July 15.-The annual
meeting of the stockholders OF the
Aroostook Federation Of Farmers
was held at the P. Of H. Opera
House. Monday. In spite of the fact
that farmers all over the county
were very busy the floor of the Opera
house was filled, with quite large
number in the gallery. 1t was
very enthusiastic meeting and every
thing went smoothly.
The meeting was called very short
Nv after 10 o'clock by the President
o. B. Griffin, and the forenoon was
taken up with the reading of the d.
rectors' report, managers report ana
with the discussion of the same. The
managers report showed that the or
ganization was in a very flourishing
condition. The paid membership had
increased from a little over 400
wear ago to over 1900 June 80, of this
year.
The sales-office reported over $500
cars of potatoes sold, the farmers re-
ceived for the same $2,1O0,s32.5o
The expense of the sales-office fgur-
ing three-tenths Of one per cent Of
the business done. The fertilizer and
chemical business showed q casn
business of almost one-half a million
dollars with a profit on the same OF
nearly $4,000. No other farmers Or
ganization in the State of Maine
ever made as good showing on It's
first year of business as the Aroos-
took Federation of Farmers, ana
there is every reason to believe that
the future will see the business in
crease rapidly.
The decision Of the Board of Di-
rectors to build a fertilizer plant at
Caribou was discussed at consider
able length and the stockholders
voted by a large majority to indorse
the action of the Board of Directors
in locating the first fertilizer plant at
Caribou.
In the afternoon the election of
directors was held. Three directors
terms expired at this meeting and
the vacancies caused by the eXpira-
ton of their terms of office were filled
as follows: Geo. H. Stone, Fort Fair
Ilelu, TS-eIcCtcu, JOSl w SlllIlS tOI VI

Roland Hovey of Houlton to sue
coed Harry Umphrey and r. c. Buz-

resigned during the winter.
During the afternoon Mr.. Frank
S. Adams of the Bureau of Markets
and Richard Pattee, manager of the

citation, addressed the meeting in be-
half of the National Board of Farm
Organization. 1t was voted to raise
a fund to assist the National Board

struction of Temple of Agriculture.

After the meeting had adjourned
the Directors met and organized for
the coming year. the following Off
GERS were chosen: President, o. 3.

The news that collar manufactur-
ers at Troy have got together and
decided to put down the price Of their
product makes one wonder whether
the price Of collars is ordinarily fixed
by agreement. If the price of collars
can be lowered by mandate, what is
to prevent it from being raised by
the same process ?-Springf1eld Re-
publican.
Or again, if the price of collars
can be lowered by mandate, what is
to prevent the prices Of other things
from being lowered in the same way ?
A mandate for the price of sugar,
now, would be a lot more popular
than one for Turkey.

the natural history collections Of
Maine, is DESTROYS of erecting a mu-

ed.
1t is asserted that many valuable
collections made by ut-of-the- State
parties in Maine have been disposed

Maine had no facilities for even
storing, to say nothing of displaying
them. An illustration is the Manly
