WILL Benefit BY
EUROPEAN REVIVAL

New York, Oct. 19.-(By A. Ply
With the German loan a great sue
cess In both the American and Eu-
ropean markets. much interest was
displayed in financial and business
quarters last week in the talk Of ad-
ditional foreign fiancing and the eff
fects of European revival on Amer
lean business.
Opinions on the effect which Eu-
ropean revival will have on Ameri-
can industry were divergent. That
our producers of raw materials and
foodstuffs will benefit was generally
conceded. In manufacturing. how
ever some observers expect severe
European competition. Others he
lieve higher level of world pu:-
chasing power and an Increased de-
mand for our raw materials will. n
the long run. stimulate the demand
for our manufactures and that
American methods and resources
will continue to maintain a strong
position for the United States in the
markets of the world.
Industrial news was almost un
changed. Steel production continued
to run close to IS per cent of capac-
ity. Buying in some lines contracted
and the change in the method of
basing prices led to some price cut
ting but the steel situation was little
changed.
Reports on railroad car loadings
for the week ended October 1. re-
vealed a small decrease from the
previous week hut showed total of
1917, 900 cars. This was within 5000
cars of the total for the correspond
ing week of last year, which set \
new record for all time for that par
ticular week. Loadings of grain and
general merchandise were largest in
history.
Improvement In the textile indus
try was shown by the census bureaus
report on cotton consumption in Sep
TENDER. Although the takings of the
countrys mills amounted to only
435, 900 bales. which is less than that
consumed in the same month in any
of the last three years, they were
approximately 100000 bales larger
than those of the previous month.
September's exports were very large,
amounting to 49, 900 bales.
Favorable weather In the cotton
belt meanwhile led to some upward
revision of crop estimates and prices
sagged about one cent. Approx
mateIy four cents OF the five-ceat
rally that occurred in September
have been lost. With the staple SELL
ing around % cents the chances for
better cloth buying were considered
to be improved.
Grain prices f1uctuated rather
widely but in general held close to
the best prices of the year. Wheat
exports remained heavy.

LAF0LLETTE ONLY
TAKING CENSUS REDS
FOR USE IN FUTURE

Especial to the Kennebec JournaD
Washington, Oct. 19.-As far as
the third ticket and Senator La Fol-
lette are concerned the Wisconsin
radical is simply taking a census of
the radical strength of the country
with the idea of basing future opera
tons upon it." Senator Moses Of New
Hampshire declares. When Sena-
tor LaFolIette lies down at night
with his head on his pillow and
thinks it all out, I don't believe he
really concludes that he has any
chance of being elected. But, by
finding out where the radical ele-
ment is the strongest, there is moth
ing to prevent him from conducting
campaigns in those states to increase
his party strength in Congress in
1926 and maybe provide a basis for
the presidential campaign of 1923"
The Senator from New Hampshire
is of the opinion that new party
lines are In the making but accord
ing to his view 1t appears that the
Republicans will contend with the
Democrats in the East. the Demo-
Gratis will continue to control the
South. and the Republicans will be
the chief opponents to the third
party in the West where. he says. his
observations lead him to believe that
the Democratic party is all but eN-
tinct. This new line up may be
realized and observation might lead
one to think that the two party sys-
tenn will come back eventually with
the liberals of both the old parties
on the one side and the conservatives

to depend in great measure on the
strength shown by the LaFollettc-
Wheeler ticket next month.
Republican and Democrats alike
concede La Toilette but two states
without question. They arc Wiscon-
sin and North Dakota. Privately.
however, they look with doubt at
Montana. Washington, Nevada and
Arizona. That he is not dangerous
in the East, especially in New Eng
land. is agreed by all.

EXPERTS SEE NEED U. s.
HELP IN WORKING OF PROTOCOL
COLONIAL ORDINANCE
AFFECTING HUNTING
now COMMON Law

The following letter received by
one making inquiry OF the Inland
fisheries and game department was
received. From this may be had I'M
Outstanding OF the attitude OF that
department. respecting the order Of
the Great Northern Paper Co.:
October IL. 1924.
Dear Sir:
Replying to your inquiry as to the
right OF residents and non residents
OF Maine to hunt In open season.
would say that the privilege Of hunt
ms was established by the old CO.
lnnial Ordinance OF Massachusetts
which Ordinance has been accepted
as the common law Of the State OF
Maine. The Ordinance. among other
things. provided that hunting should
be free upon the condition that the
hunter did not trespass upon the
corn land or meadow Of another.
This meant that the land owner
could not prevent hunters pursuing
game, in accordance with law. on
his land other than corn land or
meadow. OF course the right of
free hunting. as this has always
been called. does not carry with it
the right to camp or remove any
growth from the land of another
simply to hunt wild birds and wild
animals in accordance with law.
The provisions of this Colonial
Ordinance have been supplemented
by the State trespass law which pro-
vldes that whoever enters or passes
over the garden, orchard, moving
land or other enclosed or cultivated
land OF another. between the first
days OF April and December, after
being forbidden so to do by the own
err or occupant of said land, or his
agent, either personally or by no.
ticc posted conspicously on the
premises. Is guilty of trespass: the
owner OF such place. or any person
employed in it's cultivation, or right
fully in possession thereof. may ar
rest any person found violating this
trespass) section.
Furthermore, the rights Of the land
owners are protected by the camp
lire laws OF the State, which provides
that whoever kindlcs fire on land
not his own without consent of the
owner Is subject to fine of $1,000.
VI course you gan appreciate that
IN the case of land located in isolat
ed sections. land owners could vir-
tually prohibit hunting by refusing
~ SIAM camp IRE permits thereon,
because the hunter would be so far
from permanent camp that 1t
would not be feasible to make the
trip unless he could camp in the iso-
lated territory.
From the above several provisions.
you will note that person can hunt
on unenclosed woodlands in accord :
ance with law provided he does not
violate the provisions of the Colonia
! Ordinance. trespass. or camp fire
laws. In order to do so.
Great damage to land owners as
well as severe injury to the scenic
beauty of the State is often inflicted
by careless hunters or fishermen who
either thoughtlessly or through ig-
norance fail to put out their camp
fires and this Department co-oper
ates as far as possible with all land
owners in protecting the forests of
the State.
Yours very truly.
WILLIS +. PARSONS
Commissioner.

In letter written from Johns Hop

most to help the cause
1T is n great pity" the letter said.
that the progressivcs. led by LaFol-
lette and Wheeler. and the Democrats.
led by Davis and Bryan. cannot present
a united front against the common en-
envy"
Referring to the candidacy of Sena-
tors LaFollette and Wheeler. Mr.. Nc
Adoo declared that while he was not
in accord with much that Senator La
Toilette is advocating Gas. for instance.
his proposed court amendment to the
constitution). nevertheless he deserves
admiration ana respect Tor MS COur-
ageous fight he had made against en-
trenched privilege and the invisible
forces of government and for the fight
he is DIV making to drive the corrupt

But" he continued. 1--WE are con-
fronted with practical question of
how reaction can he unseated" adding
that the success Of the Democratic
ticket offered the best means to that
end.

Dental candidate, has in the present
campaign been guilty of the most

citlist party In apparent agreement,
said the Workers. party candidate La
toilette Is to hand over the Pregres-
sive and Socialists votes to Smith,
and in return Smith will knife Davis
and throw his Tammany following to
the Wisconsin senator.
'LaFollette Is the last reserye of
capitalism. and he is performing the
same historical function that MacDon-
old performs in England and Herriot
in France. The LaFollette illusion is
the greatest obstacle to the develop

struggles"
Mr.. Foster declared that the "voIume

Because OF the large number of
Liberal Withdrawals there will be
straight fights between Conservatives
and I-aborites in no less than 2l1
contests. Moreover. owing to last
hour party activity In nominating
extra candidates. chiefly by the La
Dor party, there will be more TRAN
gular fights than was eXpected-22oI
distributed as follows:
London, 23: English boroughs, II
English counties, 10i: with the re-
mainder in Wales, Scotland and Ire

Thus three cornered fights are
distributed over the whole kingdom

Lady Astor, the Duchess OF Atholl,
Lady Torrington and all the women
members of the last Parliament are
seeking reelection.
There was lull In the campaign
over Sunday. affording an opportu-
nifty Of reviewing the situation
which is noteworthy. first. for the
growing confidence of the Conserva.
tive party in their coming back -
the largest party in the House, even
If not with an absolute majority, and
second, for the frankness with which
a new coalition government Is can
vasscd in the press. When ParIia =
ment was dissolved there was no hint
given publicly by either the Liberal
or Conservative press that such n
move was contemplated.
Even now the attitude OF the Con-
servative and Liberal leaders is that
the arrangements made to withdraw
candidates where triangular contests
would give chance for a Labor VIC
tory, were more in the form of local
agreements. having no reference to
any possible pact after the elections.

Better Service on
R.R.'s Reduced Cost
OF Living Since 1920

New York, Oct. 19-Efficient opera =
ton of the country's railroads has
been a substantial contribution to-
ward reducing the cost of living since
1920, according to an analysis of con-
ditions made public today by five
eastern railway officials. The state
ment, representing the views of the
eastern presidents conference. was
signed by E. E. Loomis. president of
the Lehigh Valley Railroad: Patrick
f. Crowley. president of the New
York Central Railroad: w. w. At
terbury. vice president of the Pen
sylvania Railroad: John Henry Ham
f1ond chairman of the Bangor and
Aroostook Railroad: and e. n.
Brown, chairman of tEc Pere Mar
quette Railroad.
Last year the average time of
transit was nearly cut IN half" says
the review of General Railroad OPP
erations. This automatically reduced
the amount of raw material which
manufacturers have to accumulate In
advance of production. 1t reduced
the stock which wholesalers muct
maintain in order to carry given
volume of business. The effect was
to lessen costs Of production and dis
tribution, and to diminish the posi-
bility of over production and conse-
quent unemployment.
