LEGATION after the convention had adjourned,
as was the case at Bangor.
Resolved That labor and capital must be in har.
mony to insure the prosperity of either. Every con-
ict between the tends to the injury of both and
wherever differences may arise we believe that they
should be submitted to impartial arbitration, to the
end that friendly adjustment may be promptly
reached and suffering to all classes prevented.

Over against the declaration of their candi-

we place the unequivocal uuerances of citi-
zen Bodwell, made, not on the eve of polit
icsl campaign to catch votes, but months be-
fore the conventions were held, at a time
when he had no thought of coming before the
people tor their sutfrages.
He said "When | was young man had
to work IL hours a dav, and there never was
a day that should not have been glad to
strike off two hours. My mature judgment,
both as laborer and employer, is that ten
hours should be the limit of days work.
Instead of leaving the question open for dis
pute and bad feeling, | think the Law making
power should step in and make it absolute !;
so that for regular days wages no man,
woman or child should be compelled to work
over ten hours. That is not a recent judg-
ment of mine, but is one upon which | have
long acted in my employment OF men,"
Upon the question of child labor he also
uttered these common-sense views Parents
and guardians solicit employment for their
children and often misrepreseut their ages.
think no child should be received into a fac
tory or permitted to work under 10 years of
age. This gives them time to get a good
amount of schooling and to grow strong and
healthy. If you put them in the factory at
| or IL, or even as low as 10, as have
known cases, you inevitably ruin or seriously
injure the health of the children and doom
them to grow up in ignorance. | think the
law should be very firm on this point and
strictly enforced under severe penalties, and
it should apply both to parents and the fac
tory agents"

The River and HarbOr Steal.

When the fate of this bill was pending
in Congress, the democrats of Maine pro-
nounced il an extravagant and wasteful
appropriation, and expressed hope that
the President would veto it.
Now that this wasteiul and extrava-
giant bill has been signed by TIE President
what are the democrats of Maine going
to do about it If they were to meet in
convention again to declare their senti-
ments in relation to the President would
they pass resolution endorsing his ad-
mnistration as they did in the convention
already heldP
If republican President had signed a
river and harbor bill transferring $l4,-
1913, 900 from the national treasury to the
pockets of contractors, what howl there
would have been among the democratic
editors.
"By the way" says an exchange, 1.-The
worst feature of this bill is not that it
gives away almost fifteen million dollars
of the peoples money, but that large
share of this amount is so voted as to
commit the government to enormous out
lays hereafter. The few hundred thous-
and dollars that are appropriated to COM
meuce a canal here and a grand system of
harbor improvements there can perhaps be
spared now without serious trouble, but
the millions that it will take to complete
these works may not be easily found
when they are wanted"
