TERRIS GETS IN LINE
FOR LEONARD'S TITLE
BY FAIR PLAY.

-
the shoes of Benny Leonard as king
pin of the 135-pounders. 1t is ques-
tionable whether Benny can make
that poundage-or cares to-as is
proven by his contracting to meet
boys of the heavier class and for
bouts at catch weights.
The ballyhoo for Terris would now
be in full swing if it was not for an
unfortunate injury to one of his
hands But the injured member has
responded to treatment and Sid soon
will be swinging into action.
1t is the writer's opinion that
Terris would not prove an acceptable
champion to the country at large. His
style of milling is not conducive to
any excess of enthusiasm and will
prove disappointment to the folks
who look for fighting titleholder.
Terris has speed, too much speed
of foot to satisfy those accustomed
to seeing a champion give and take
as the occasion warrants. His attack
consists of lightning left-hand
jab, with an occasional right-hand
cross while pedaling around the ring
at pace calculated to burn uI
about 10 miles in the course of a
bout.

NEW YORK, October 15.-John

box will strengthen his hurting corps

NO TIME TO BULIY.RAG
RAILROADS

The drastic cut, which the Maine
Central Railroad Company feels
obliged to make in its train service
owing to lack Of patronage, is a re-
hinder of some of the serious diff
culties encountered by those endeav-
oripg to run the railroads so they
may earn legitimate dividends. The
likelihood of the railroad earning no
dividend confronts the stakeholder
but he does not have far to look for
the cause. Indeed If he attempts to
cross a highway he is in a way to be
run down by this same cause.
So long as automobile manufactur-
ers can find customers for their
wares, SO long as the taxpayers con-
tinue to build roads on which to run
them. SO long, during the summer
days, will the passengers on the
trains be comparatively few. There
does not seem to be any way to
change this were change desirable,
all things considered. Probably, too
in process of time and with the nat
ural growth in the demands on trans
portation the railroads will receive
relief, IL they continue in existence.
But one thing should be sufficiently
clear to all who desire fair play:
this Is no time to bully-rag railroads
by restrictive and unnecessary legis-
lation. 1t is a time to exact from
those who wear out our highways
the cost of so doing.

Editorial Comment
How Help the Packers
washington POST

The McNary- Haugen bill would
stabilize" prices of meats. and
would attempt to keep prices high
at home by dumping" the surplus
abroad. But this would not help
the farmer or the consumer. 1t
would merely be handing money to
the meat packers. The packers
would be guaranteed a fixed high
price at home, and then, when the
government commission turned
around to sell surplus meat abroad.
it would find the foreign agencies
of the American packers on hand,
waiting to buy back their own prod
uct abroad at dumping" prices. The
principal packers have agencies at
all commercially strategic points
abroad. Instead Of supplying these
agencies with meat direct from the
factory here, the packers would sell
the meat at the fancy prices fixed
by the government. and then would
instruct their foreign agencies to
buy back all surplus which IL sent
abroad for the purpose Of keeping
up prices at home. The government
would pay the packers $50 or zoo
Ter cent profit at home, and would
then dump" the surplus upon the
packers agents abroad, at a price
perhaps 100 per cent less than was
paid for the meat. The estimated
profit of the meat packers through
the operation OF the McNary-
Haugen bill Is from $1,500, 000, 900 to
$4,000. 100000. This would come
from the pocket of the consumer in
this country, through direct pur-
chase of meat and through taxation
to meet the losses to the Treasury
incurred by the commission in
executing the law.
The country demands reduced
taxation. II the McNary- Haugen
bill should become a law, increased
taxes would be Immediately neces-
sary to meet the Treasury deficit.
The evil would be twofold. First,
1t would be charge upon all the
people for the benefit of a class;
and second, the class intended to
be benefited would not be benefited.
but injured.

WHY NOT OBSERVE GUIDE POST

There Is great need Tor sign.

There has been such q need for
many years. getting more and
more intolerable every year. The
Biddeford Journal has from time to
time called attention to this and
now asks the Bangor Commercial.
that recently commented on the lack.
TO arouse a sentiment among its
patrons for this reform. Every
newspaper in the state should en-
deavor to do this.
Here we. are talking about IN
ducements for summer visitors and
neglecting them after they come.
They are entitled to guidance and
arc not given 1t, although the law
provides for doing this. Like some
of our other laws It is most con-
spicuous by reason Of non observ-
ence. Here Is what the Revised
Statutes have to say on the matter:
Section 81. Towns shall erect
and maintain at all crossings OF
highway enters another. substantial
guide posts not less than eight feet
high. and fasten to the upper end Of
each q board, on which shall be
plainly printed. in black letters on
white ground the name Of the next
town on tho route. and Of such
other place as the municipal officers
direct, with the number Of miles
thereto, and q figure Of q hand with
tho forefinger pointing thereto: and
for any neglect herein. towns are
subject to indictment. and fine not
exceeding nifty dollars.
Section 81. II the municipal ON
GERS of any town unreasonably
neglect to cause a guide-post to be
erected in their town as provided by
each months neglect. to be recover
cd in an action on the case by any
person suing therefor. Plantations
assessed in state or county taxes,
and their officers. are under the same
obligations and subject to the same
penalties In these respects as towns.
Really. many Of tho town ofiicials
are ~ Indifferent to these laws as
were the oflicials Of a few
Of our polling places to the re-
Quirements Of tho primary law.
Some Of the most attractive scenery
in the State cannot be reached by
keeping to the State roads. Is It
possible the towns do not want the
summer visitors to wear out the
highways which the towns have to
mend. that they don't offer any
directions to the travelling public?
This would seem to be q very short
sighted policy We hesitate to ac-
cept this view of It; but Just what
is the cause of this negligence?
