 Her With Stick

Montgomery. April 2e.- .--(specia,.)- )-Mrs. Annie Ryan was bound over to the grand jury under a s2,OOO bond on a charge of manslaughter by the court of common pleas Tuesday after she had confessed that she fired two shots into the body of her husband, John Ryan, and inflicted wounds which caused his death early Friday morning. She contended that her husband had attacked her with large stick and she fired to protect her own life after he struck her one time in her head and had informed her that the next would cause her death.
 The woman said her husband got up in bad humor and when he went to the table he threw the breakfast she had pre- pared out the window, He then attacked her with the stick according to the de- fendants testimony. All evidence against the woman was circumstantial and her story was the only one of the actual killing She testified that after she had fired two shots at Ryan she took large drink from a bottle of liquor, which rendered her incapable of giving CO., herent statement shortly after the shoot ing The defense contended that the liquor was responsible for the first state ment that she knew nothing about the killing.

 The day this year on which there is no home run will be named by the pitchers as feast day.
 When a pitcher can keep a hard hitting team to five hits, as Zachary Of Washington kept the Yankees, Clark Griffith comes in for his share for keeping the pitcher.
 It is beginning to dawn upon several that Kelly, the New York Giants first haseman, can hit the ball, yet he won't hit so hard against experienced pitch CTS as he will against those who do not know him.

ESPECIALLY GRATIFYING

The efforts of our mayor and CITY
engineer to safeguard the Kennebec
bridge at Augusta are in line with
their duty to be sure, but being COM
mendable and indicating these Off
cials recognize their duty and propose
10 perform 1t, are worthy of notice.
they are insisting on making sure of
safety, insofar as that may be done
The reports of buildings falling while
in process of construction, of movie
theatres improperly inspected or not
inspected at all, indicate that this
eminently sensible attitude on the
part of municipal authorities is hon
ored rather by the breach than by the
observance in many places. So that
makes 1t especially gratifying that
Augusta is not one of those places.

WHAT OF FRANCE?

French politics explains in some
degree the warlike attitude France is
assuming in the Conference, but not
all Nor does it appear just what
her purpose is. 1t is hardly sup
possible that she hopes thereby to
bring about easier terms with regard
to her debts. 1t would be like ex-
pecting a creditor to be made more
lenient by telling him we proposed to
increase our Indebtedness. The
position France has taken is that she
is poor and cannot pay her debts
but that she must have submarines
and cruisers she doesn't need unless
she is planning to go TO war. She
cannot hope to maintain her large
army and the navy. she demands in
competition with countries lessenins
instead of increasing their armament
expenses, unless, after the Prussian
method, she expects to obtain the
resources by conquest. But can this
be the France for which we have
had so much sympathy? 1t is in
credible.

RAILROAD RATES IN MAINE

In another column may be found a
letter from Commissioner Washburn
OF our State Agricultural Depart
ment asking the Journal to give pub
licity to the efforts being put forth
to the end that our producers may be
put on fair, competitive footing
with those Of other states.
The situation referred to- so far as
Maine is concerned, Is that the Ban
gor G. Aroostook and Maine Central
Railroads, alone of all the New Eng
land roads, refuse to unite with the
others in granting a ten per cent re-
duction in the freight rates on agri-
cultural products. 1t is a natural
question to ask why these roads
should hold out against such an ar
iangcment. 1t would contribute ma
terially to mutual good feeling if this
attitude could be satisfactorily ex-
planned. There seems to be an i'm
mediate, though persisting need OF
mutual good feeling in business af-
fairs. Already mutterings are heard,
and among men prominent in affairs,
that all freight rates are so high as
to discourage business. Granted
that those complainants are not con-
versant with all the facts, neverthe-
less would it not be well if they
were?
Mr.. Washburn says it is conceded
the problem eventually will DO
thrashed out before the Interstate
Commerce Commission but by that
time it is probable it will be too late
to affect the shipment of this sea-
sons food products; the shipper in
Pressure Isle will have to continue to
pay for the 1G1 miles to New York a
rate of els cents on his potatoes in
competition with the potato shipper
in Grand Rapids, Michigan, who,
though shipping 775 miles is REQUIRED
TO pay rate of but IS cents. Surely
this condition cannot be considered
favorable to the Maine railroads, as
Stunning they wish to build up bust
ness in Maine, as Of course they do.
Unless they have objections stronger
than is supposed they will be re-
CURED by the Interstate Commission
to make reduction in freight rate
conformable to that made by other
railroads. II they have those ex-
ceptionally strong objections would it
not be good policy to present them
now and so remove Il cause of irri-
tation? And If they are not so
strong as to convince the Commits
sion and the reduction is required of
them, then there will be both the re-
duction and the irritation to over
come. The difference between a re-
duction now and few months later
would hardly seem an adequate COM
penSation for all that

EFFORTS AT RESUSClTATiON

The spreading of misinformation
may not be agreeable to the taste Of
Chairman Hull of the Democratic
National Committee but those who
put him in that position expect re-
suits, hence the misinformation is
being spread. Like most of those
efforts little is accomplished other
than to afford the partisan ammuni-
ton for political. discussions. In his
latest endeavor, however, Mr.. Hull
did materially contribute to the
gaiety Of nations and should receive
due credit therefor.
Such a self effacing gentleman is
Cordell Hull he no doubt would give
all credit for his humor to the Demo-
cratic party. Why not? He credits
that party because the national
wealth increased around $4,000, O00,-
600, from 1912 to 1920; think of it.
The Democratic party credited with
all the business developed by the
war, all the increase in developemnt
over a period of eight years. 1t is to
laugh, though Mr.. Hull, conscious of
the beetle browed dignity which goes
with his job, RETAINED. Such rigid
restraint must have been painful but
mn Il
Anyhow he did not smile or bat an
cyelash.
Solemn he was, solemn as a barn
owl when he compared what the
Democrats had been eight years in
doing with part of what the Republic
cans have been doing in the brief in
terval since last March. Obvious
he was of all the mountain of mis-
management extravaganza, compli-
cations, involved problems, Shipping
Board scandals. bureaucratic waste
under which all business at the ma
tional capital was swamped when the
Republicans took possession.
No mention does he make of the
days upon days required for shovel
ing out this debris before the ways
could be made clear for launching
nor of the urgent demand for money
to pay the bills incurred by the
Democrats and for making good the
agreements entered into by them;
and that splosh, splosh is but the
sound of the tear drops sliding down
his nose to the floor Of the rostrum,
as he contemplates, Ladies and Cen
tlemen, IAN almost vertical slump in
prices in America of from so to so
per cent; and this to an audience
crying, not in palpitating sympathy
with our esteemed Judge Hull, but
because some Of the prices didn't
slump along with the rest of them.
Not heart rending, simply side
splitting, all in the effort to detect il
possible. by futter of eyelid or faint
throb of pulse some sign of life in
the inanimate Democratic party.
