The boys of Maine deserve a good
word" says State Superintendent of
Schools, W. W. Stetson, land | am glad

''For fifteen years OF more | have trav-

The boys of whom | am going to speak
more particularly at this time are the boys
OF the villages.
Fifteen years ago, when we held an
educational meeting in one of the smaller
places, there would be a fringe of young
fellows around the edge of the room, and
they wouldn't be there to hear what we
had to say. They would be there to have
a good time, very often at the expense of
the speaker. There was nothing vicious
OF malicious in their actions, but they paid
little heed to the words of the speakers.
Their sole idea was to make life torture
to the person on the platform and them
selves terror to the audience. And they
were usually successful in both endeavors.
"But to- day things are different. One
of the striking things about the meetings
which we hold to-day is the presence of
the young men. They are of the same
age of those of fifteen years ago, but
there are more of them, and they are not
the fringe of the crowd. They are down
in the front seats, and they are there with
their ears open and their mouths closed.
They are there to listen. ! attended a
meeting of this sort in small village not
long ago and the close attention which the
young men gave me was almost embarras-

years ago the young fellows never en-
barassed a speaker by their close atten-
ton.
''And it seems to me that this new
interest is one of the most encouraging
signs of the times 1t shows that our
young men are thinking more than they
did and are awakening to the possibilities
of education and all other things which
make for culture The boy is honest.
If he doesn't like a thing, be says so. If
he does, he makes that manifest as we'll,

young fellows evince as genuine. Moth

change of attitude, and l think that in
justice to the boys themselves we should
show them that we notice and appreciate

Speakership of the next House, but iii
these husting days matters shape them
selves rapidly and much interest is al
ready manifested in the man who viii
probably WELD the gavel in the House at
the coming session From those in close
touch with the popular drift, we lie IN
that the indications very CLEARLY point to
the selection of Hon. Joseph ii. Maney
of Augusta. MI. Maney announced his
candidacy some time ago and has develop
cd d very long backing. Ii IS difficult to
see how it could be otherwise His emil
nent fitness ton the position is uuqueS-
toned and he has certainly earned recog-
milton at the hands Of the Republican
party in the State. AS chairman of the
State Committee, Mr. Manley has done an
immense amount of work. He is known
as one of the most successful organizers
IN the country and i'll every campaign has
given his personal attention to the details
of the work. the value of which is demon
strated by the increased Republican ma
jority in recent years. There seems to be
all element of reciprocity involved now.
Having labored zealoasly in the interest
of so many candidates foT all these years,
it is no more than fair that MI Manley
should have large following in his per
sonal canvass for speaker of the Maine
House of Representatives. 1t he could
work for himself half as hard as he has
worked for others his election would be
assured from the start, but in case OF
this character he is obliged to rely largely
upon his friends, who, it can be said to
their credit, are responding handsomely.

For the BOYS.

The boys of the Caribou High school
have formed an athletic association and
established a gymnasium on the second
floor of the new Primary school building.
Already considerable apparatus has been
secured and more will be added in the
near future. 1t is an acknowledged fact
that the gymnasium is necessary adj
unct to every school and we hope that
the High school boys will receive liberal
encouragement from the people of our
town. Aroostook Republican.
In our school days the gymnasium was
in the back yard at home and the appara-
tus consisted of a saw and AK, and pile
of wood. 1t was 40 acknowledged fact
Gu the part of s.5yaT:! parents that we
knew of that such a gymnasium was ii
necessary adjunct to the home and We
don't think the exercise did the boys any
hurt, although it was not as popular as
the school gymnasium must be. Piscata-
quis Observer.
The other day we came across group
picture in which were three boys of the
class to which the writer belonged. One
was son of a man who probably had the
most money of anyone in the village :;
another was the most brilliant scholar in
the class. What impressed US as we
looked at the picture was the fact that
those two boys-the one with the adj
vantage of money and the other with the
advantage of brains and sufficient money
to give him a college education-should
have been the only two of the class to
make a failure of life. In the case of one
the cause was liquor and in the other a
com bnation of liquor and lack of force.
This goes to show that neither money nor
brilliant intellect is essential to success in
life. The other boys who lacked the ad-
vantages improved the opportunities they
had and have at least retained the respect
Of their friends and of the public. Here
is something for boys to consider. Ibed.

The Hessian Fly.

On the question Of when to SOW
wheat in order to avoid the Hessian
fly, there are many opinions. Some
farmers believe early sowing Is
best, while perhaps as manv con
tend that late sowing gives the best
results if the pests attack the crop
We have pointed out in these
columns tho fact that if the wheat
crop is sown early it will make
such growth by the time the fly
begins 1t devastation, and be so
vigorous and IuXurant, that the pest
will be unable to very seriously
damage it. And, on the other
hand, if the fly does not attack the
crop at all, there will be less
liability of winter-killing and the
crop is likely to through the winter
in frst-class shape, whereas if sown
late and no flies attack it, the results
may not be satisfactory, anyway.
So all things considered, it appears
that many advantages are in favor
Of earl sowing; yet this view is not
very universally held, and we ap-
pend an expression on the suhject
from Prof. W. G. Latta, of the Indi,
ana Station, who advocates several
good precautions:
with reference to the Hessian
fly, my response is that early so V
ing is no remedy, but rathera detri-

Time For A New Andrew Jackson


There Is IL peculiar fitness this
year in Democratic celebrations
being held all through the country
IN honor of Andrew Jackson's day
The issue which Jackson met bold
ly and upon the settlement of which
his fame most secure y rests, has
again come TO the front The
alliance of an enormous financial
institution with the federal govern
inert the dangers of which Jackson
so vigorously denounced, has again
been consummated-nOt this time
by act of law, but by the more in.
sldious and dangerous method of
official favoritism The whole Ma
tion has stood aghast at the spectacle
of a secretary becoming party to
the plans ofa VIGOROUSLY mercenary
and overbearing body Of money
kings who are striving to control
the currency of the nation, 10 doml
nate the money market and to fix
all credits. The Standard Oil com
pany has had career. long and
black enough in its relations with
public officials, before it met and
captured Secretary Gage. Its
course through state legislatures,
and indeed through congress, has
been a sinuous and slimy one, but
it seems to have reached IT'S goal
when 1T persuaded the secretary Of
the treasury to make its own tinan
cial institution the sole fiscal agent
of the government.
When Andrew Jackson attacked
and demolished the old bank of the
United States the whole country
rose to applaud hlm. The effort of
the Mckinley administration to es.
tablish what is an official bank in
fact, if not in name; will stir the
country again, but to a chorus of
dcnunciation rather than applause.
The Democratic party in that earll.
er day furnished the man brave
enough and strong to meet and over.
throw the money power. The
Democrats today may be relied up
on find among their number new
Andrew Jackson able to cope with
the new menace.
