TARIFF T|NKER|NG IS BEING OPPOSED
President Does Not Agree to
 Revise Schedule

Swampscott, Mass, July 26 Pl- President Coolidge will not sanction any attempt to revise the tariff act at the next congress. 1t was reiter. ated here that the executive feels that any meddling with the act will create general uncertainty and react unfavorably on business.
 Mir, Coolidge also believes that practically the same trade and busi ness conditions now exist between this country and foreign nations as prevailed when the present act was created. Imports are increasing and exports are continuing along satis- i factory lines, and he feels it will be wise to see how the law works out lt Was stated at the summer White House that no serious proposals for revising the tariff have been re- ccivcd.
 The flexible provisions of the | present act permitting a revision Of duties up to 50 per cent gives the president opportunity 10 sanction such changes as he feels are neccs. sary.
 The executives ultimatum against tariff legislation leaves the way open for the next congress 10 center ifs attention on the matter of revenue work 10 tax reduction, The presi- dent has proposed a cut in taxes and IthGirmau Green Of tho house ways and means committee has called the committee to assemble in October 10 frame a tax bill

entertainments were pleasing anu
all who attended were satisfied OF
the worth of the course. The whole

Editorial Comment
Forgetting Aroostook


There is rather vehement COM
plant from Aroostook county news
papers as to the amount of space
that the great north county received
in Maine" the very attractive book
let describing the beauties and ia
cilities of our state as a mecca for
tourists and sportsmen. Thus the
Fort Fairfield Review notes that
Aroostook, the largest county in the
state, in area, with the most forests
and lakes and game and fish receives
but little more than two per cent. of
the space in the brochure and with
the two per cent. including about
half in unnamed pictures Of lakes
and scenery which the Review sus-
spects are not in Aroostook.
If there is to be analysis of space
devoted TO the various sections of
the state we might call to attention
that, roughly speaking, some 90 pag-
es of the booklet are devoted to
western and central Maine but 10 to
the remaining half of the state in
area, but we do not wish to be crit
ical and realize that the people of
western Maine have difficulty in I'M
Outstanding that there is a very con-
siderable territory between them and
the New Brunswick border.
We would suggest, however, that
there is another year coming, that
the cities and towns will be asked to
subscribe to Maine publicity and that
there will be other booklets issued
We hope that next summer the
Maine Publicity Bureau will discover
some of the beauty spots of North
ern Maine. particularly in Aroostook
county which is deserving of far
more than two per cent of the space
in the advertising brochure.

Smith, or Mr.. Olvany, or The New
York World" To these hinterland-
ers Tammany Hall is and always Will
be anathema. Their fathers rallied
around Samuel ]. Tilden because he
broke the power of the Tweed. ring
in New York. Later they supported
Grover Cleveland in 1884 because as
Governor he had never been friendly
to Tammany. In 1892 Clevelands
nomination was made sure because
Tammany opposed it.
The situation today is but little
changed. In the Democratic conven-
ton in Madison Square Garden last
year were elements sufficiently
strong to have defeated Smith if the
kleagles had not been gathered to-
gether and if there had been no talk
of light wine and beer in the laby
rinths beneath the auditorium.
Governor Smith, knowing the his
is for it. He is it's apologist and it's
defender. X X X Mr.. Smith is far
ADLER than the average Tammany
politician, but tie is none the less a
Tammany politician. X And al
ways behind him the multitudes will
see the crouching figure of the Tiger.
The religious issue and the liquor
issue will be kept alive for the next
three years. Both will make a good
deal of noise. But they will not de-
eide the Democratic nomination for
or against Governor Smith Forces
and opinions which he and his back
ers in political clubhouses and in
editorial rooms seem incapable OF
comprehending will decide it. Tam
many Hall has given Mr.. Smith
many honors. But it will keep him
out of the Presidency.

GOVERNMENT IN SHIPPING

An idea that got abroad when we
had declared war on Germany and
possessed no facilities for getting at
Germany was to the effect that this
Government should see to it that it
should have under it's control at
least a nucleus of merchant marine
to which it might look for aid in a
crisis like that. 1t was then per-
ceived that lack of this was a vital
weakness; a resolve was then made
AS is usual in time of danger
that this should be looked after.
Everybody now knows that the
Government has been giving a ire
mendously extravagant exhibition of
ships as successfully as may private
enterprise, yet with all our expert
ence it should be possible for a bet
ter Job to be done in the future.
But there is the usual growing i'm
patience when matters go wrong. So
many reasons have come to light
showing wherein the Government
cannot hope to be very successful
ship-manager, we are in way to
forget the prime reason that
prompted the effort remains i'm
portant. The need of considering
this has not passed, but how may it
be done? Those who would take the
Government out Of shipping will not
have answered that question, only
have intensified the need of a suit
able answer.
The Governments present ar
rangements for handling the prob
lem are in a somewhat chaotic con-
dition. Contributing to the confus-
ION are the efforts of those trying to
take the Government out Of shipping
and conflicting with those who are
trying to keep it in. OF those con-
cerned with the latter is Admiral
Benson, who has plan for the
United States to build 100000 tons
annually to insure continuance of an
American merchant marine. The
plan calls for two liners Of 10000
tons to join the Leviathan in service
and competing with foreign ships; 1t
also would provide for the building
annually Of 10000 tons Of combina-
ton car and passenger ships and
200, 900 tons Of cargo carriers.

VIGOROUS AND HOPEFUL

President Quimby had a vigorous
and hopeful message for the annual
convention of the White Ribboners.
Undoubtedly some will consider
certain Of her conclusions over
optimistic. Time will tell, but the
dozen OF years since Mrs. Stevens.
then president of that organization,
delivered an optimistic message tells
much. The hopefulness then express
sed has been remarkably fulfilled in
that comparatively short period.
Assuredly there is no occasion for
lack OF courage on the part of the
w. c. T. u, and none is in evidence.
Furthermore they recognize obliga-
tions yet resting upon them to guard
that which has been gained and to
gain that which should be guarded.
Mrs. Quimby quotes Doctor
Thomas: Whatever we put in our
schools will become part of future
generations. The teaching in our
schools has been productive of pro-
hibition sentiment and it should be
in the future. We are confident that
it will be, that the w. C. T. u, if
none others will see that it is.
Deserved tribute is paid to the
good work that has been done by
Seth May, by our Coast Guard in the
face of great difficulties. Moreover
it is beyond question the w. C. T.
U. will continue to emphasize the
idea that the State as well as the
Federal Government has a RESPONSE
bility in this matter of law enforce
ment.
Those who insist on risking their
lives in trying to get kick out of
wood alcohol need not look to the
ladies for consolation when they are
compelled to pay the penalty. as we
are told these imbibers shave only
brought on themselves just retribu-
ton, that they are law breakers. 1t
might help if the w. c. T. U. would
also agitate to have those who con-
coct poison liquor punished as other
prisoners are punished. Even if
their patrons deserve no mercy,
surely the art Of poisoning people
and getting paid for doing it is one
that should on general principles if
none other, be effectively discourag-
ed. Moreover the w. c. T. U. as
Stunning that all liquor is poison have
long acted on that principle.

'Heinen Blames Lansdowne for
The Disaster"-Headlin Lans-
downe is dead and may not be called
in rebuttal. He was declared re-
sponsible for making the fight when
he did; but evidence was found to
disprove that. Possibly evidence will
clear his memory of Heinen's charge,
which is one that in no way reflects
on the character of the brave COM
mander. While the living should not
be held responsible for any mistakes
of those now dead, who when upon
earth were but human Alike the rest
of us, nevertheless responsibility
should not be SO placed without the
warrant of sound evidence. That
may not be conclusively found in the

however expert he may be.
