The Labor Commissioners in Augusta.

Augusta extends a cordial welcome
to the distinguished guests now in the
city. From all parts of the Union the
labor commissioners of the various
states have gathered here for their an
nuaI convention. Old Orchard and
Portland have extended their hospital
ity. y.and today the business sessions will
be held in this city. 1t is much to be
obliged to give up the proposed
trip to Bar Harbor, Americas s most
famous and most beautiful summer re-
sort. This visit to Maine is of neces-
sity a brief one. but it gives them an
opportunity to see some of the natural
beauties of the coast and the interior.
and to observe that the people of the
state are busy and happy, prosperous
and progressive.
The gentlemen attending this con-
vention hold most important official
positions. They, more than any other
public servants, are facing the great
problems of labor and capital, and in
their hands is much power in the solu-
ton of the vcxed industrial problems
that are more and more demanding
attention. BY meeting as they do in
annual convention and exchanging
views, each is helped to carry on his

The Boston Journal does well to call
attention to the fact that the work of
building up our new navy began with
Secretary w. +. Chandler instead of
Secretary w. C. Whitney. 1t might
also have added that the first conspic-
uous act of the latter's administration
of the navy department was the driv-
ing into bankruptcy of honest John
Roach, the father of iron shipbuildins
in this country. Roach went to his un-
timely grave a discouraged and broken
hearted man-but the Dolphin. whose
alleged structural weakness was
made the basis of the partisan assaults
upon, is today, as it has been from the
first, one of the staunchest vessels in
the American navy. During Mr..
Whitney's service as secretary of the
navy he made, with this exception,
which he doubtless regrets today as
much as anyone. the best record of any
man of his party who has ever held the
position. Our present navy is certain
ly greatly indebted to him for the wise
and progressive policy he pursued with
clear-headed insight and courageous
tenacity in the face of many obstacles
and discouragements-but he cannot
claim to be the pioneer in this field
That honor belongs to Senator Chand-
Ter of New Hampshire.

The people of Augusta may feel
Just pride in the fine showing made by
graduates of the Cony high school this
year who have taken college entrance
examinations. Some seventy-eight ap-
plicants have thus far been examined
for admission TO the freshman class at
Bowdoin College. OF this number six
were given, honorable mention. Four
of these six were graduates. of our
Cony high school. Two members of the
last Cony graduating ciass-Miss Alice
Johnson and Mr. william Titcomb-
have taken the entraftce examinations
for Harvard .IEnixersity,iand, both were
given honorable mentiort In the case
of Mr.. Titcomb this. VA & specialF tri-
umph, inasmuch as he was forced,
through siclness.s to lose IS weeks from
the school during the past year. Au-
gusta people may all feel a pride in
this showing, for it demonstrates the
fact that the teachers of our high
school are not only painstaking and
thorough, but also that they have had
some exceptionally Industrious and
ambitious pupils to work with.

plain LANGUAGE from Captain Dyer.


Captain Dyer, who commanded the
cruiser Baltimore at the battle iof
Manila is now in this country taking
a much needed rest at his Massachu-
sets home. He has been in the Philip
pines for over a year, knows the whole
situation, and is well qualified to speak
upon the cause and progress of the
trouble there. He. has spoken some
plain, strong language about that
class of little un-American Americans
who have been encouraging the Fill
pinos to resist American authority in
our new possessions He does mot
mince matters any more than he did on
that memorable May morning when he
helped Admiral Dewey make history.
Let those pesslmistic croakers who
have tried to convince the American
people that Aguinaldo is an abused
hero and that his rebellion ought to
succeed ponder over these words ut
tered by Captain Dyer in a recent pub
llc duuIcSS.
Captain Dyer says this: II have no
patience-nO true American can have
patience-with these dygoOdies, the
little group of self-sufficient men who
think themselves qualified to criticise
everything in creation. Had they not
given aid and comfort to the enemy
that's exactly what 1 mean. aid and
comfort to the enemy-there would be
peace in Luzon, today. The Filipinos
ing the true standing of these men
and realizing the little influence they
have in the United States. The publi-
cations and speeches of these anti-im
perialists or anti-eXpansiOnists, what
ever you call them, are forwarded by
the Filipino emissaries in this country
are not allowed to read or hear any
thing on the other side of the question.
they have become convinced that
great and powerful party exists in the
United States which will, sooner or
later, come to their aid; that the troops
will be brought home, and the islands
turned over to them to work their will
and pleasure. That's what the goody-
goodies have done, and they have cost
the United States hundreds of lives
and millions of money. l hope they are
satisfied"
This is strong language but it is un-
questionably true language, and it is
| uttered by a strong, true man who is
| justly indignant at a traitorous attempt
| to aid savage rebellion against
American authority. Perhaps neither
Mr.. Garrison nor Mr.. Atkinson nor
| their deluded followers have intended
to go to such lengths, but the work
has been done and cannot be undone
| To their doors must be laid the blame
| for the sacrifice of many American
| lives and for an increase to our coun-
try's debt. But in this country their
wild mouthings and petty efforts have
| had no effect except to bring upon
| them the contempt of all patriotic citi-
zens. The work begun In the Philip.
| pines will be fully accomplished with
no unnecessary delay and no unneces-
sary cost. The flag will stay there. and
peace and prosperity will reign there
long centuries after the name of the
last "anti-imperialist' is buried in OBJ
liviOn.

A Bath young man who has two
brothers in the navy, one of whom is in
the Philippines and the other in Cuba,
wrote his brothers some time ago ask
ing that they collect and send him
souvenirs Of the places they might hap
pen to visit. For a time he was highly
delighted to receive by express pieces
of the wrecked battleship Maine, great
junks of iron that had once been parts
of Cervera's fleet, various and unique
contrivances made of bamboo and SINH
lar relics too numerous to mention. OF
late. however, his taste for souvenirs
has been on the wane, but the stuff
keeps coming just the same. His room
is filled to overlooking with trophies of
our victorious navy and his bank ac-
count has gone to liquidate transpor-
tation charges. His days are spent
mostly in the lodging of expressmen
and his life, so he AYERS, has become
burden to him.
