Idea Copied from California.

An unusual arrangement for hauling
logs was taken from the blacksmith
shop of O. NJ. Penney on Water street
yesterday. and carried to the mill of
Fuller 4 Merrill where it is to be used
in carrying on the lumber operations
at that place. The idea was copied
from the cart used in California, and
IS probably the only one of its kind
ever used in the Maine woods.
The wheels We're made from a pine
log, they simply being cross sections
heWn down to meet the requirements
Of the cart They are bound with steel
tires and are braced with other iron
work 50 that the cart is as strong as
possible. The wheels themselves are
but "A inches high, and it might be
thought because they are built of pine
that they are Of a decidedly weak make
up. This is not the case, however. as
they are firmly strapped with iron
Bunkers are built up on the single
axle to the height of the top of the
wheel and the whole firmly strapped
with iron. The pole instead of being
rigid is held by pin that gives it an
UP and down motion so that it may be
used on the toughest Of ground The
whole thing weighs over half a ton,
and is as solid as though constructed
after the pattern Of bridge Mr.
Penney has worked on it steadily for
three weeks and has just completed it
so that an idea may be gained of the
amount Of work necessary in its con-
structiOn.

Stand Up for the Flag.


When the Fourteenth United States
infantry rested arms in the legation
concession at Pekin there was the
elimination Of policy which the
American people yearned for, but
have been denied. For many years
the people have felt that the United
States should assume a position
among the nations in accordance
with the greatness Of the republic.
There has been much complaint that
the stars and stripes was not respect
ed abroad and that our policy OF
peace was regarded throughout the
world as simply the necessary atti'
tude Of country without an ade-
quate army or navy.
Fifteen years ago this sentiment
found expression in a constant jeer.
ing at the navy, which was compared
with other fleets as an aggregation Of
old tubs. The standing joke Of para.
graphers was Americas poor old
wooden navy. Every letter from
foreign shores spoke Of it. Ameri-
cans abroad had their enjoyment
spoiled by the humiliation they felt
because the power and majesty Of the
government were not upheld among
the nations Of the globe. This feeling
became so acute that congress was
forced to provide for the new navy.
The Joy Of the people Of the people
over the first "white squadron
composed Of little cruisers-seems
almost childess now when the Amer.
lean flag flies in glory over the battle.
ship Oregon.
At this time. when the demand OF
the people has been fulfilled, when
the power Of the United States has
been upheld on land and sea, from
Havana to Pekin, when neither the
jealousies Of Europe nor the AFRO.
gance Of revolutionists have prevailed
against its diplomacy, its ships and
its soldiers; now in this glorious day,
comes great political'party and de-
clares against what it calls imperial
ism. There can only be one conclu.
sion drawn from the platform Of the
Democracy, namely, that this carry.
ing out Of the desires Of the people is
wrong. The ships must be laid up
It the docks, the soldiers disbanded,
he flag must not be waved where
'hots may be fired at it, and the ma
ion shall 90 back where 1t was.
1t was with these thoughts that
Governor Roosevelt. in his usual
trenuous style, uttered some scath-
ng comments about the Democratic
policy. He is accused Of calling all

Mr.. Calderhead in CLAY.

The following dispatch from Clay
Center is self explanatory. Captain
Fletcher is a Republican all the time
and Clay county is going to surprise
the opposition this year by the size
Of its Republican majority;
Zone of the recent roorbacks of
the anti-Republican forces is a state
ment that appeared in the Topeka
State journal last week to the effect
that Captain W. II. Fletcher, who
has been chosen the chairman Of the
Clay county Republican central COM
mittee, is opposed to the reelection
Of Congressman Calderhead and that
there is antagonism to his interests
in this county on that account.
1.-The facts are that the only grain
Of truth in the matter is that Captain
Fletcher has been chosen chairman
and that unanimously by the kepub-
licans Of the county. There are no
sore spots on the Republicans Of this
county, and the well known charac.
ter Of Captain Fletcher is sufficient
guaranty that he will give every can
didate the fullest support. He is
outspoken in denying the statement
Of the Journal and in an interview
today said;
1.-The item isnot Of my inspira-
ton. 1t was published without my
knowledge or consent, anditis certain
that Mr.. Calderhead's interests will
not suffer at my hands, or through my

there is a difference in the vote in
