 The Federal Rerserve system can exercise wide powers, and when 1t does the results are as certain as an answer in mathematics.
 It was this board which is given the credit of deflating the farmers after the boom several years ago.
 Its control over money rates is a lever that can deflate or inflate at will.
 Just now the board is sitting back and doing nothing. There is no in dication it will act otherwise.
 And this is a political year. Every exigency of politics leans toward the creation, if possible. of good business.
 The political temper of the na- tion largely hinges upon the state of trade.
 It is unlikely that any such board is in politics not for a moment. But condolences sometimes are very self-evident.
 It Is to the advantage of the ad- ministration as well as the people to continue good business in the saddle. Nobody is going to kick over the beans for the present.
 As for the imitation some con- servative folk are eternally fear ing" time enough to consider that later say next year. And even then it may not be considered necessary.

Business and industry at the present time is more extraordinary than during any summer since the close of the World War.
 An unusually large volume of business is being done in most lines; there is an extremely rapid movement of goods from factories to consumers. Car loadings, a, sure index of prosperity, are breaking records. Spirited advances on the stock exchange, in spite of some violent fluctuations, seem to reflect the prevailing tendency of "busi- nessness is good.'

At the close of last year Federal Reserve officials warned against undue speculation. In January of this year officials asked New York banks to give an accounting as to the amount of money being bor- rowed by stock brokers.
 The figures yielded showed brokers borrowings were three and 8 half billion dollars in New York city alone.
 e The result was severe slump Tn the stock market. The trek to abandon speculative holdings was almost universal.
 By the rhiddle of April brokers loans were down to two and q hall billions.
 After ths shake down the stock market advanced. Today it is at a new high mark, and brokers loans only 7.o0U,OUO below the high peak of last January.
 The tendency is for larger total The January figures may be eclips- ed before long.

 This is the more remarkable considering past experiences. psual- ly,. during the midsummer vacation period, business slows down, the markets drag along, initiative Is lacking, and there is a disposition to await autumn before attempting to estimate business requirements
 This summer, however. condi- tions have been the reverse. There has been a moderate showdown Tn some lines, of course; but the cur tailment of operations has been much less than the average for midsummer.
 Many regard present conditions as forecast of extremely prosper ous circumstances in the fall
New Britain herald., 1926-08-03

One reason for the astonishing era of good times experienced this summer and their continuance and its continuance later seems to lie in the condition of the money market.
 There is a plethora of credit,
 Figuratively speaking there IS money to burn; and the banks ana commerce generally are intent upon utilizing the supply.
 The banks will keep their money working; and ambitious men are anxious to borrow.
 How does it come, one may ask' that there is so much credit exist ing almost everywhere in this broad country?

In a signed communication to the
editor Of The Kennebec. Journal, City
Clerk Daniel w. Cony resents having
the fault for the errors and irregular
tiles on the enrolment lists of voters
in the City of Augusta, which led to
confusion in several of the polling
places at the time Of the primary
election on Monday, laid at the door
Of the City Clerks office.
Mr.. Cony takes issue with the
statement of Chairman Weston Lew
is, Of the Board of Registration, in
several instances, and explains rea-
sons for the middle at the polls. He
comedies that the responsibility for
the irregularities may in a measure
by with the city clerk, but also de-
clares that there should be division
Of that responsibility with the Board
of Registration and with the. ward
officers.
The complete statement made in
reply to that of Mr.. Lewis printed in
these columns Wednesday is as fol-
lows:
I'm your paper Of June % the
statement regarding the middle in
primary election of Monday over en-
rollments for which the Board of
Registration. through its chairman.
claims no responsibility but insinu-
ates that all errors were more or less
due to lists received from the City
Clerk. I wish to make the following
statement.
Il have no quarrel with the Board
of Registration as I turned over to
the Board the official enrolment lists
held by me last December. This list
consisted of all enrollments on the
official books delivered to me by the
former City Clerk when 1 took office
January l. 1928, and all new enroll
| ments filed at my office up to last
December.
THE first primary at which 1 off
ciated was June 16, 1924 At that
time, there was good deal of trouble
on account of peoples names not be-
ing on the primary lists but accord
ing to the law at that time, they were
allowed to enroll at the polling
places. The ward clerks returned
over thousand names in the ward
boxes to the City Clerk at the end of
election day. These enrollments were
copied into the official books at the
City Clerks office and dated. l pre-
sumo that several of the enrolment
b40iihS "CtS 1lSN CT ISluIHtu from the
polling places to the City Clerks Of
flee.
I'm your statement you call par
ticular attention to Ward Two and l
have checked some of the names OF
people who had trouble in voting in
that ward on account of names not
appearing on the enrolment lists and
find in taking the matter I'D with
the Board of Registration that sew
! eral of these people who found fault
because they were not on the lists,
had never enrolled before in the city,
or If they had enrolled, enrolled at
the polling places at some previous
election and whose names have never
appeared on official enrolment books
in City Hall.
One concrete example was a man
| who recently registered in Augusta,
who had previously voted in Vassal-
boro. but had never voted in a pri-
mary in Augusta and admitted be-
fore the Board of Registration that
he had never enrolled in Augusta.

POSSE SEARCHING
FOR AGED JEFFERSON
MAN MISSING ) DAYS

A posse Of 25 or 80 men was busy
on Tuesday searching the woods in
the vicinity of jefferson for Theodore
McMasters. an aged, almost blind man,
who has been missing from the home
of Mrs. Warren Peasley since last Sat
urday. The missing man, who is 20
years Of age. was last seen in wood
road lying between two thoroughfares
and the searchers have secured all of
that part of the country in an effort
to find McNlasters.
A report has been received from a
boy in Waldoboro who claims to know
McMasters. saying that he saw him
Saturday in Waldoboro and that at
that time he was in a Ford car headed
toward Friendship. Mrs. Peasley feels
from this report that he is probably
all right as he has been missing sew
eral times before, once for seven days,
and at those times he has been in the
habit Of accepting automobile rides
and going as far as the driver does,
then getting back to jefferson as best
he could.
The searchers. however, have care
fully combed the woods in view of
the possibility that he might be lying
helpless in some unfrequented place
and have seen no trace of him. They
have worked to the edge of a large
swamp which IS practically impossible
for man or beast and feel that there
is the possibility that he may have
fallen into the swamp. in which case
no trace of him will probably ever
be found.
Capt. William P. Hancock Of the
State Highway Police went to Jeffer-
son on Wednesday and went over the
ground in most thorough manner.
He found that the men Of the vicinity
had done everything possible to find
the missing man and after short
trip to Waldoboro to talk with the
authorities, returned to this city.
