now being held in the city of Detroit
has listened to inspiring addresses and
doubtless will experience beneficial in
iiuence from them. But the helpful-
ness of what is said there will chiefly
consist in forcibly impressing on the
mind Of every member the glorious op-
portunities which the present and the
future holds out for such an orgaaliza
ton as this National League Of Repub-
lican Clubs. made up for the most part
of young Republicans and designed to
interest and enlist the energy of the
younger members of the great party.
Ever since it's formation the Republi-
can party has been progressive, rather
than restrictive, constructive instead Of
destructive and capable where its OPP
ponents have been content with being
critical. Its character has been such
as naturally would be expected to at
tract the young man, and where preju-
ace Hdtlutu uON IL HUH To SDIl
has NOT hlndered such has been the
case. Several years ago in the state of
it was in some slight degree successful
for a time, to attract the young men
into the ranks of the Democratic party
Today all that is changed. The prin-
oiplcs of the Democratic party have
been sold out for a mess of silver pot
tage and a man who is gambling on n
very dubious chance to throw prefer
mcnt in his way has, owing to the dis
gust of really the most influential and
sagacious wing of the party, assumed
control and Il rule or ruin policy, the
fate of which is clearly understood by
all except few of the more infatuated.
Similar conditions affect the Demo-
cratic party all over the country. 1t

Using it clings to its old habit of croak-
| ing and carping, All this is the reverse
of attractive to the energy and enthu-
siasm of those of our young men who
are to be the leaders of progressive and
constructive thought in the next de-
cade.
The work of the future is sufficiently
outlined to warrant the assumption
that it must be done under the leader
ship of the Republican party. The an
nexation of Hawaii the construction of
| the Nicaragua canal, the encourage
ment of home industries, the broaden
| ing of our relations with other lands,
the pursuance of a firm foreign policy
and the adaptation OF our currency
system to the needs of the people are
work awaiting the party which had the
courage to declare that an American
dollar should he as good as any in the
world, and which is now carrying
| through a tariff bill in the face of what
seemed insurmountable obstacles. Such
| is the party and such its work. Who
can doubt but that it will be the or
ganization with which the enterprising.
progressive young men of the future
will identify themselves? The Nation

ranks of the Republican party are not
reple'ted with the pick of the American
youth.

The Bangor Commercial in the course

purpose was to prove that when the
rest of the nation is sweltering from

patches of last week concerning the
extreme high temperature in Maine
were grossly exaggerated. and then de-
clares that with all this heat. we have
heard of no cases of death from sun

Maine is the best place on earth, sum-

reported from South Berwick, East

body else does what a nuisance these
stones are, and yet it is one of the cas-

age length. in a day, and their work re-
peated a few times during the summer
would help the wheeling more than
most people imagine. If complaint is
made to the ordinary road surveyor in
regard to the bad condition of the
roads in his district he will reply that
he hasn't the means at his disposal to
make the roads what they ought to be
and yet hoe isn't a complicated or a

question and declared that every Vest
