marching. Maine is 'rarking time ready
to take the first step forward when tho
music starts. While other states have
suffered keenly, our stability has been
remarkable. Some extraneous causes
have helped us. Thousands have bought
the cooling breezes of our coast, the quiet
peace OF our inland lakes, and the soli-
tude Of our restful waods. An annual
inhow of ten million of dollars has steadi-
g the heartbeat of business and kept
distress from many door. What think
you of a legislature that wranglcd over a
bsggarly appropriation of S25, 900 to foster
this great income? And most of its menu
bers could read. Yet, Maine grows in
spite of the moral cowardioe of her poll
ticians.
Year by year, even in the troubulous
times since 1913, her railroads have been
expanding, stretching out their iron arms
ITO the board fields of the Aroostook, the
picturesque beauties OF the Rangeleys
and the hone-like villages of the eastern
shore. TO every city anG to the larger
towns have come superb systems of wat
erworks. She electric railroad Is binding
communities together and destined to
work out the question of freight trans
portation for many an outlying town. A
net work of telephones annihilates time
and distance.
To further this development, be ready

through the cheap transmission of cleo

only the over cautious conservatism of
the wise and learned men that control
our legislation. We need capital To
get foreign money we must seek it. We
must advertise. 10 make money we first

THE NATIONAL GUARD.
Matters of Interest to the Militia Men
of Maine.

The opening OF the new year will see
some important changes inaugurated.
One of the evils now existing in the
Guard has been poor attendance at ordi-
nary drills and meetings for theoretical
months or SO before camp has the attend
ance been what it should be. Gen. Rich.
ards has been wrestling with this prob
lem, and has decided upon two things to
help remedy it.
One is to grant medal to every officer
or enlisted man who has perfect record
of attendance at all military duties what
ever for one calendar year, with ansaaddi-
tional bar for each succeeding year of
perfect attendance. Abundant safeguards
have been thrown around the issuing of
this medal, SO that it may never be
gr anted to an unworthy man.
The second thing decided upon to in
crease attendance is to order that Gen.
Newcomb shall make competitive inspec-
tion OF the different companies and corps.
A blank form has been carefully drawn
up, which will be used by the General on
his next trip and copy has been sent to
each company for its formation. The
General will mark the different points
concerning each company according to a
system which is fully explained on the
form, and after his inspection he will
transmit the form, properly filled out, to
the Adjutant General When the entire
Guard has been inspected the markings of
the organizations in every subject will be
tabulated, and the troops arranged &C.
cording to order Of general merit. This
standing is to be published in orders
during parade at the annual encampment
at which time a prize will be presented
to the company or corps which comes out
ahead.
Under the proposed system a company
cannot receive high rating without a
great deal of hard work previous to the
inspection, and 1t is believed that
preparations for inspection will be an in
centive to better attendance and harder
| work. The plan has been used In Wiscon-
sin for several years, and has produced
excellent results.
If captains would co operate with the
Adjutant General and see that their CON-
panies have progressive and varied pro-
gramme Of drill from night to night,
there is no doubt that our troops would
before many years come up to the standard
OF some of the crack regiments In other
states, where record of from 90 to 100
per cent of attendance at each drill is
made right along.
| Gen. Richards has also adopted a new
form of monthly return, which will go
into effect in January 1t is modelled on
that used by the regular army, and will
| axe the place of the morning report
blank, the report of instruction, and the
monthly report of strength now in use.
The change will save clerical labor and
will enable the Adjutant General to know
just what every company and regiment
has been doing during the month, and its
exact strength on the last day.
