TRYING TO ENThusE EN-

One might infer from what Is nap
pening that the administration OF
President Coolidge is causing the
Democratic leaders-leaders. not the
rank and file-considerable perturba-
ton. Governor Smith came to Maine
ostensibly to attend the conference
of Governors but in reality to make
a speech charging the Republican
administration with extravaganza.
Now comes Chairman oldfield of the
Democratic National Committee, but
ne comes under no false pretences.
His is difficult mission. He would
disabuse our minds of all the appre-
tensions which followed on the heels
Of the late national Democratic Con-
vention. when it was said the party
was shattered beyond repair.
Now. as we see 1t, 1t would be
national calamity to shatter the
Democratic party beyond repair.
There is need of critics in all
achievements, need Of party OF pro-
test to keep the party Of construc-
ton from getting swelled head.
And the Democratic party not hav-
ing responded favorably to other
remedies, it is but fitting to apply
the faith cure, which was what
Chairman Oldfeld did to the momen-
tary II not permanent delight of his
auditors.
In this process Of hypnosis he bade
them look upon an invisible admin
istration administering to the rich
ana scorning the poor; talking econ
omy and debauched by extrava-
gance; trying to collect loans from
foreign peoples instead OF taking
their goods by way of exchange. 1t
IL enough to wiring tears from the
eyes Of . potato to be told that these
foreign countries cannot pay us what
they owe us unless we let them pro-
duce and take profits on goods, which
now are being produced in this coun.

formation than they. In the bu-
reau's opinion, 1.-The faculty possessed
by animals to interpret the signs of
coming weather changes is limited to
an instructive appreciation of pres
ent atmospheric conditions. which
are indicative of certain weather
changes for periods of probably one
to twelve hours in advance" But
this may be too skeptical view. 1t
is unsafe to be dogmatic about a
thing so mysterious and SO profound
as animal instinct.
The observation of naturalists,
however strengthens the Weather
Bureau theory. For twenty years
DR.. C. C. Abbott of Trenton watched
the muskrats build their houses and
the squirrels stor. their nuts. He
found that varia tons in their habits
from year to year-favorite gauges
of an "old-fashioned winter" or the
reverse-had no relation to the ensu-
ing winter weather. A year ago the
squirrels on. Long Island were un-
usually forehanded In gathering their
winter supply of nuts, foreseeing
tough winter. Nevertheless. the
winter began late and ended early.
Since last winter was not severe,
the coming season will be bitter,
many weatherwise observers think.
John Burroughs noted that severe
and mild winters alternate in our
climate for series of years
masculine and feminine winters. as
he termed them, almost invariably
following each other. But this
formula, as he admitted. was broken
now and then. He would cheerfully
have granted that the geese were at
least as well informed as he of the
winter prospect. And Thoreau wrote
of the wild geese that go. honking
over the city. perhaps about to set
tie in it, mot suspectiDg that greater
geese than they have settled there"

BOOKS AND RUSSIA

A writer in The Bookman con-
cludes an article describing the pres
ent Indifference to books in this
country with the following query:
"How would John Adams and his
ablest contemporaries explain the
strange phenomenon that when the
country they were founding had no.
100000 people and reached from the
Atlantic to the Pacific; when 1t had
more than one half the gold of the
world and such per capita wealth and
standard of living as was never be-
fore.s known among mankind. only
about one book per capita per year
would be produced or bought by
their descendants 2"
Well, IL he had foreseen what this
writer tells us, that Russia is fast
becoming the promised land for pub
fishers and booksellers. he might
have felt that all was not lost.

WE NEED WATER STORAGE

Tne rains winch Ieed the sources
Of the Kennebec Valley waters
should be utilized as a benefaction.
As now neglected they fall short of
their full mission and at times are
an actual menace. This is because
we have not done as we should have
done, controlled the waters by stor-
age. Once there We're two ways by
which this control might be .exer-
cised. by the State or by private
enterprise. The opportunity for the
former in any practical way seems to
have passed, and those who have ex-
perienced government control of
utilities are not mourning its pass
ing. The latter method has not been
encouraged in the Kennebec Valley
as it has on the Androscoggin where
the waters are better harnessed and
in consequence there has been great,
er development.
We have faith that public intelli-
gence is informed respecting the
needs Of water storage: that 1t is
aware Of the advantages Of a steady
flow, Of power to the water wheels;
aware Of the disadvantage of shut
downs In times of food. Of stopping
Of two thirds Of the wheels when the
water is low. We assume it Is
aware of the fact that industries
seek q power that is continuous;
that they cannot run to advantage
unless they have 1t; that to secure
IL under present conditions in this
valley 1t IL necessary to resort to the
use Of coal bought in distant part
Of the country and shipped here at
great expense. 1t knows. too. that
idle plants or extensively run plants
indirectly as well as directly affect
all Of us, affect wages. affect
producers including farmers. who
look to those wages expended for
food. The people know all this
when they think about 1t, but are
they thinking and resolving about it?
Those who have investigated con-
ditions tell US th.t adequate storage
Of the waters In this Kennebec VAL
Icy would assure US continuous
Cow Of $500 to 5000 cubic feet Of
water per second. more than enough
to kesp the wheels Of industry turn
Ing. Under present conditions dur
ing low water there is only around
1900 cubic feet per second. which
means idleness for some. In time Of
hieh water the abundance of white
coal' runs unused and sometimes
dsstructively to the sea. at times q
volume Of $4,000 second-feet run
ming to waste. In 1928 the damages
from Hood in this Valley were esti-
mated ct . million dollars.
The largest storage sites available
to these waters are Moosstead Lake
with twenty-one billion cubic feet,
Brassua Lake with eight billion and
by means Of dam at Dead River
ten million more cubic feet. II these
might be completed the Kennebec
Valley need not take a back seat IN
power facilities, taxable property
would be increased. we would
neither be depressed by drouth nor
damaged by Hood, there would be
ample for those already here and the
best Of inducements for others to
come. It then could not be said as is
now said: contrast the Kennebec
Valley, which in the past decade has
not materially increased. with the
Androscoggin Valley with a growth
increase Of 20 percent. And we
would be having no more than be-
longs to us.
