Ellsworth owes much to the auto
mobile No one realizes this more
than the business men. To visiting
autoists, Ellsworth has always eX-
tended every courtesy consistent
with public safety. 1t goes against
the grain of an autoist, in town to
do trading, to be told to ''move ON"
by traffic cop Perhaps some of the
Ellsworth business men have run up
against the fifteen-minute rule in
Bangor, and know how it feels. At
any rate, when the city government
last week passed an order restrict
ing the parking of automobiles on
Main street to one hour, it hit some
of the business men right in the eye.
Their protest took the form of a re-
monstrance to the city government,
and as a result, the order probably
will not be enforced, and will be
rescinded at the next meeting of the
mayor and aldermen. At the same
time, the remonstrants suggest that
it would be good business and adj
ditional courtesy to visiting autoists

Hon. Dwight Braman Of New York
who arrived at his summer home III
Sullivan Sunday, was in Ellsworth to-
day. He reports the roads between
Ellsworth and Waukeag Ferry the
worst he found anywhere on his drive
from New York To the residents
of this vicinity, it looks as if the State
highway section Of this road was be-
ing neglected by the State highway
department out of pique because its
pet plan of new highway to cut out
the grade crossings at Washington
Junction has been held up by the
GOVERNOR.

Names first official recount of a
Statewide election began Monday,
before the governor and executive
council, when count of the $4,000
votes cast in the recent republican
primary began. 1t is expected that
nearly two weeks will be required
for the work Following the recount,
whatever the result may be, the
courts will be asked to decide upon
the legality of homemade ballots,
enrolment of voters and manner of
conducting elections. 1t is doubtful
IF the result of the primary is
actually determined before the mid
die Of August, or less than month
before the State election. Senator
Brewster, in a statement filed with
the governor and council Monday,
declares that 400 illegal and fraudu-
lent votes were cast for Frank G.,
harrington, his opponent for the
nomination for governor. who was
declared nominated by a majority of
500, after the official tabulation of
returns.

when his father, John Douglass, was
running the old Atlantic House at
Bar Harbor, and at the suggestion of
one of his guests, served one dinner
each week entirely of sea food
That, claims Mr.. Douglas in an inter
view by Sam Corners of the Lewis

were those, for she taught me how

Pleasing Entertainment for Good
Cause Last Friday Evening.

A large audience enjoyed the en-
tertainment at Hancock hall last
Friday evening, given under the
management of F. E. Cooke and Al
bert H. Davis, for the benefit OF a
free Ellsworth bed in the Hurley
hospital. The opening play, lively
little skit, PAS New House
keeper" caused a good laugh. Mr..
Davis, in his female impersonation,
was the hit of the evening. The cast
was as follows:

cided intentions. Luman Woodruff

The play was followed by tab
leaux, admirably arranged and
posed, and many of them beautiful.
The net proceeds will be about
500, which has been deposited in
bank for the use specified. This
amount is available until used, but
it is hoped that it will be the nucleus
of permanent fund to be added to

tions. Messrs. Cooke and Davis
greatly appreciate the generous and
ready help given them in putting on
the entertainment.

Textile Industry In
New England Is In
Desperate Condition

WASHINGTON, May 14.-Without
objection the Senate adopted, within
a few minutes, on May IL, the reso-
luton by Sen. Walsh of Massachu-
sets, calling upon the Tariff Board
for information as to the cause of
wholesale unemployment in the New
England textile industry, and the
Smith resolution declaring for imme-
diate drastic reduction in freight rates
on farm products and supplies. Tex
tiles in Massachusetts are in such
desperate condition that even Lodge
spoke for the Walsh measure, while
Cummins joined Smith-spokesman
for the anti-Cummins majority of the
interstate commerce committee, in
urging the freight rate reduction. The
Smith resolution declares agriculture
to be fundamental industry, and as
serts the policy of the government to
be one of fostering" agriculture by
reducing freight rates for the revival
of agricultural prosperity.
Magnus Johnson reported that the
price of butter-which is the last re-
source of farmers in the northwest
is now tumbling, and more banks will

Farmers Insurance
Tax-free In Spite
Of Big Companies
ley The Federated Pressl

WASHINGTON, May IA. = Two
thousand mutual insurance companies
in the farming communities of the
country are relieved of a ruinous de
cision by the internal revenue bureau,
by an amendment adopted by the SEN
ate in the revenue bill at the demand
of Sen. Shipstead, Farmer-Labor. This
amendment wipes out the phrase "of
a purely local character" in the tax
exemption given to farmers mutual
insurance concerns.
The internal revenue bureau, by a
ruling that these words meant only
companies operating in a single neigh
borhood of few square miles, had be-
gun to collect some years back taxes
on the sums assessed by these mutual
companies to pay for losses to their
members thru fire, hail, tornado and
other calamities. The private insur-
ance companies were back of the rul-
ing, since they expected to drive the
mutuals out of business and write
hundreds of millions of dollars worth
of insurance at increased rates.

New York-Financial Capitol.
This means that New YORK is about
to become the financial capital of the
world, taking the place held by Lon
don down to 1914. The worlds chief
free gold market tends to command
the greatest confidence and therefore
to attract the largest volume of for
eign financial accounts and business
from every quarter of the world.
American bankers dreamed Of this
during 1916 before we entered the
war. And by entering the war to in
sure victory of the nations most heavi-
ly indebted to them they made sure
that the ultimate victory would be
theirs, a victory of American finance
and the American dollar.

ment by the ruling classes in any
country. They know his value in
keeping the eyes of their slaves on an
imaginary heaven while both the
clergy and the capitalists rob them
and divide the swag between them.
The cardinal does not see any hope
Of settlement Of the boundary ques-
tion, and neither do the workers
that is, until there is a workers and
peasants government in Ireland.
With the exception of the small labor
representation in the Free State par
lament, the real producers in Ireland
have nothing to say about boundaries
or treaties. Even that representation,
under the leadership of the reaction
airy imperialist, Thomas Johnson, has
simply formed tame opposition to
the Free State government and
begged itself in the mire of compro-
mise and class collaboration.
But, as the Voice of Labor points
out, there must be a new forward
move on the part of Irish labor to win
back the position occupied by it a
few years ago, drop its recently adopt
ed attitude of political parochialism
and join the world revolutionary
movement for the conquest of power
by the workers.
Such labor movement would set
tie the boundary dispute and Cardinal
Logue, Sir James Craig and all they
stand for.

Negro Moves Into
Good Neighborhood;
Is Nearly Lynched

OAKLAND, Cal, May Alt is all
right for a Negro to live in West Oak
land-in fact most of the Pullman por-
tiers on the transcontinental lines have
their homes here. But when a Negro
tries to buy home in the fashionable
Piedmont district of Oakland, that is
another story. Sidney Bearing, veal
thy colored man, attempted to bring
up his family away from slum infiu-
ences, and had to face mob of 500
white neighbors who threatened to
lynch him. Rescued by the police,
Bearing agreed to sell the house he
had bought.
