FERVOR AND FREIGHT
Recently there vent the rounds
of the press reports from the .Agri
cultural department at Washington
respecting the grave nature cf the
problem''confronting the East in the
matter of food supply under the con
dition of high freight rates. Sub
sidies .were discussed but the likeli
hood of obtaining them vas seen to
be 'extremely doubtful with the only
possibility of success in the far. dis
tant future. Meanwhile vhu*'to do'.’
tVhile this is going on ve are eat
ing apples from Oregon, which cou'.d
be shipped more cheaply \ia the
Panama Canal to London than they
are by rail to New- York. The
western ranges are fenced In and I he
Dakotans cannot place their meats
and cereals in the eastern markets
as cheaply as can the farmers in
South America. The Ea.-t fed itself
before the Ci'dl war. Since then
many have died on the New England
farms and no one has taken their
places. The land is there, though
run down- many cf the home; are
left in fairly good condition—and the
market is not far ana:', the market
that either must go hungry or pay
exorbitantly for its food under pres
ent freight rates, which will un
doubtedly be lowered a little but
which those, who ought to know, say
will never go back to what they were
before the war.
Such is a brief view of the food
( situation in the East and of the land
which siav be bought cheaply and is
already served by schools, telephones
and comparatively easy of access to
markets. In the Vest lands are
high and those which are available at
any prices approaching what we
might think reasonable are distant
from transportation and^offer little
if anything in the way o' social at
* traction to the heme builder.
To which of these opportunities
would the thought of an enterpris
ing, shrewd young man with little
or limited capital turn, to the Vest
or to the Ea-t ? The logical answer
would be to the East. Ah I but in
the Vest everyone is boosting, talk
ing of that beautiful future full and
splendid to their vision, which is
lifted above the obstacles under foot.
In the East the majority of farmers
seem to be rather inclined to pessi
mism. Some of them it is true are
not able to use machinery as exten
sively or advantageously as arc- many
in the Vest, but few of them would
be willing to live ur.dc-r the condi
tions that many in the Vest ha'-e to
live and if they were confronted by
the long and difficult distances from
market as in the Vest, some of them
at least would lie down and hold up
their feet to be tied. In some parts
of the Vest the climate is warmer
but the chances of crop failure are
much greater. If the young man
could find here the same sort of
contagious enthusiasm he finds m
the West there is little doubt but he
would choose the East. Can't we
supply it? .Must we wait for the
outsider to come in here and by su
perior judgment make a success
and warm to life our enthusiasm?
It would seem so.
Such men have come, are succeed
ing and are boosting- One of them
is Philip E. Park of Jefferson Farms.
Inc., Jefferson, Maine. The Journal
has had the privilege of presenting)!
some of his views in the past on sev
eral occasions, also, we ore happy tc
say, evinces of the success he is
making'. He saw at the outset the
possibilities lying in this inevitable
increase of frieght rates. He is liv
ing up to-his convictions.
A few days ago a pickle manufac
turer ■was telling of a shipment he
recently had occasion to make from
Portland, Maine, to Michigan. The
rate on a 14 gallon keg weighing 125
pounds and shipped in car-load lots
was $1.2o pc-r keg This reminded us
Of what Mr. Park had been saying, !
although he was interested in supply- 1
ing the New England- market' rather
than the. Michigan market. His re
ply the Journal prints elsewhere.
We hope cur readers will consider it.
We have big advantages lying fal- \
low right here in the East. We have
every facility for getting together
and making co-operative effort to
meet the demands of the best mark
et in all the world, provided we send
it what it wants and educate' it to
understand that vr,e have what it,
really wants. Mr. Pork is raising
some of the best beef in the world
and at a profit. He is^glad to have

GIVE US A REBUEL!CAN SLOC
The Republican leader in the Sen
ate. Senator V.'atson of Indiana, re
marked the othc-r day that what, wjr
needed was a Republican bloc Other '
varieties of. bloc have received con
siderable attention in the news re
ports from Washington, the latest
i ems incidents related of the Re pub- I
lican caucus which discussed the pro- ;
posed increase of membership in the !
House from 435 to 461. The floor '
leader, Mr. Mondell is reported to
have favored this increase not with- ;
standing heretofore he has opposed
it and deplored the half million dol- j
lars o:‘ra expense such an increase j
would entail, ar.d now some of the 1
members are threatening to refuse to i
be bound by the vote of the caucus ^
and join with the Democrats in favor
of the reduction. This change of at- '
titude on the part of Mondell is at
tributed to the influence of what is
termed the agricultural' bloc. The
need of a Republican bloc in the
House is fully as evident as in the
Senate.
That Republican bloc needs to be
reminded of its pledges, needs to
feel that the cflttntry wants the right
representation whatever that num
ber ma:c be and does not wish to
have the number dictated.by an ag
ricultural or any other old bloc, ex
cept that which speaks for the party
which is under the responsibility'

N. Fairhill St., Philadelphia, Pa.
Standing all day, or sitting in
cramped positions and often with wet
feet, young girls contract deranged
i conditions, and before they are hardly
aware of it they develop headaches,
backache, irregularities, nervousness
and bearing-down pains, all of which
are symptoms of woman’s ills. Every
. mother who has a daughter suffering
; from such symptoms should profit by
j the experience of Mrs. Eicher and
give Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable

Conference cn Unemployment. The
Conference asked that Congress pass
the Railroad .Relief Bill, ■which will
make jobs for thousands; that it pass
the Tax b.'.l. and so enable business
to better determine what to do for
the future: likewise the Tariff bill so
that business may make definite es
timates for going ahead- Let the Re

prove the one and only way in which,
such advantage for the Republican

THE WORLDS CHAMPIONS
The King is dead, long live the
King—that is, for a tear.
It is no doubt pest that the King
ship #i baseball should have a new
occupant each year * The frequent
change and ever sharp struggle for
the place means sustained interest
and steady addition to the ranks of
the ball players, worthy aspirants
for membership- in the World’s
Champions. That the honor this
year comes to the East, that it comes
to the metropolis and to the Xational
League is gratifying in many ways.
The Giants well won their victory,
let no cne fail to give full credit. The
Xationals have been waiting and
struggling for seventeen years for
the highest honor in baseball, let
them enjoy it to the utmost. And.
as the metropolis would have won it
anyway, were all glad.
As to the Tankees, let no one
shame them for losing. They played
a master game. It was one of those
very uncertainties, that with the
skill required and daily shown, make
the same so fascinating, which in
tervened and turned hope of victory
into certain defeat. Something of
the kind occurs in every World's Se
ries—this yeah, it was the Yankees’
turn.
PRAISE FOR THE JOURNAL
It is not often that the Journal de
votes much space to blowing its own
horn, but we do feel very much
pleased at the praise received a few
days ago in the following letter. As
the letter was personal and not for
publication we wrote the parties,
asking this privilege, which was
granted.

the leading topic at our missionary
meeting this week. It was the thought
expressed by Dr. Clack of Ifte

This is not for publication but just
to tell you how glad we are that you
are sending out among families a
paper of which no one need he
ashamed. May God help you and
bless you in your work.

Should Buy the Bermudas?
(Chicago Tribune)
"While the Bahama and other Brit
ish West Indian islands have com
mercial and climatic justification as a
part of the British empire, the Ber
muda islands have not.
The Bermudas are small coral reefs
■which cannot even support human
life without artificially collecting the
rainfall into cisterns. Such trade as
they have is with* the United States.
The Bermudas form a powerful
naval base on the west side of the
Atlantic ocean, a naval base with re
lation only to the United States.
» They form a base on which to de
fend the American coa°t line or from
which to attack it and blockade it.
They should be American, for they

ganize’ military forces of the coun
try today is about 2T5 000 men and
officers. We have no reserves to
speak of, and the War Department is
having trouble getting the former of
ficers to accept reserve commissions.
Franc® has a million men in her
army: Great Britain has about 750.
0'*9. v bile Poland and Pussia each
ha'-e more than half a million, and
Japan is keeping 300 000 men under

compulsory military service, and the

The Panama Canal Tolls Vote
(X. Y, Herald)
i The vote of the United States Sen
ate exempting American vessels ’en
gaged In the coastwise trade from
payment of Panama Canal tolls is not
an act of which the American people
will be proud. The efhlcal question
’ involved is all the more painful be
cause of the technical color to the con
tention of the “free tolls" people that
this country is not thereby repudiating
its solemn obligations entered into
with the world. But questions of
honor am* neither happily nor decently
I resolved on technical points.
It is true, that foreign vessels al
ready are shut out of cur coastwise
trade by our existing navigation laws.
There would be no tolls discrimination
against them, therefore, so far as con
cerns their possible competition with
; our coastwise shipping. Our own ves
sels engaged In the foreign trade and
competing with the foreign ships
would be left on the same tolls basis
with them.
But when the United States Goverp
ment bound itself to treat all nations
alike in respect of the use of the
Panama Canal there is no ouesticn
what the nations understood by this
agreement—that tolls should be the
same for all ships. And there is no
question how we shall be regarded by

the rest, of the world if we default .n
v aal was taken by ever: body to be
the solemn pledge of the United
states.
Then there is the grotesque miscar
riage of .relief to American shipping
in this tolls measure. It tosses a rlcn
gift tc# the very ^art of our shipping
which needs no protection from the al
ready excluded competition of -for*
c ignore. Because cur coastwise ship
p.ng as a whole is a monopoly by vir
tue of its immunity from foreign com
petition, it costs a great deal more in
freight charges, in some instances
twice as much more, to make a freight
shipment from New York to Portland.
Oregon, through the Panama Canal
than it costs to make a similar ship
ment from Europe to Portland. Ore
gon. through the Panama Canal.
This very high freight charge by
American vessels in the monopoly
coastwise trade, as compared with
fere.gn trade freights by all vessels,
may not. shock the American people
who wish to keep foreign competition
out ^f our coastwise carrying at any
price; but it will convinc«>them that
there is no desperate need of relief
for such shipping measured against
the need of our vessels which do have
to meet the overseas competit.on of
the foreign vessels.
And a final touch of Irony is added
to this situation in the thought that
obviously if the canal is to be made j
to earn its operating expenses our
hard pressed ships engaged in the j
foreign trade going through the canal
will have to pay heavier tolls than be
fore in proportion, as the more pros
perous ships In tfie coastwise trade
pay none at all.
Stipend for Festival
(Portland Herald.)
If stipends for fairs why not for
music festivals?
It was a pertinent question which
was ashed of Gov. Baxter by Wil
liam R. Chapman, founder of the
Maine Music Festival on the occasion
of the Silver Jubilee Monday noon at
the Falmouth. \
For a great many years the devel
opment of agriculture through a
large number of State and local ag
ricultural organizations has been en
couraged by stipends granted by the
Maine Legislature. Some of these
fairs really do excellent work in the
encouragement of agriculture while
others it is charged are by no means
bcr.a fide agricultural affairs but de
pend almost wholly for their interest
upon racing and midway attraction
Manifestly, if there are to be stipends
for this purpose, the former class
should be aided and the latter should
not. •
The encouragement of agriculture
through State aid to those institu
tions that foster its development ap
pears to be a recognised State prin
ciple. If the encouragement of ag
riculture through the fostering of
these fairs is a good thing why not
the encouragement of music through
legislative aid to the Maine Music
Festival ?
The testimony of all of the speak
ers at the Silver Jubilee luncheon
was to the effect that the develop
ment of musical appreciation and in
terest throughout communities in all
parts, of Maine had been greatly aid
ed by the Maine Music- Festival.
The existence of this ' Festi
val as an institution haj
