hooters can give other descendants truth
and uprightness. What q person does
not possess ne is unable to bestow upon
another. The founders and the de-
velopers OF Msiue were not only strong
and courageous, but we're honest and
God fearing. They reco4 nized their duty
to their fellows and their dependence
upon the Almigh ty. And these qualities
have united With the others in rounding
out the character OF the men Of to day.
With these roo4idert' inns in mind, it
is no longer mystery why this little
State is able 10 send 50 many great men o
the front ard thus exercise SO large an in
fiueuce in he councils OF the laud which
we all love and whose future prosperity
we wish to conserve. Would that tn ere
were more Manes and more men OF Maine
makeup coming into national promi-
nence at this crisis IN our development.

For yesrs the delegation which Maine
has sent t. Congress has been he wonder
oithe nation. L is doubtful IL in the
whole history OF the country the rep
resentstives from any stnte .ver exercised
the influence Of possessed the capacity
OF those who have but recently honored
Maine In Washington.
When Reed and Mil ken and Bouteile
and Dingley We're In the House, and Frye
and Hale were In the Senate, there was n
galaxy OF statesmen which could not be
equalled, much less tX"elied, by the men
gathered from any other commonwealth.
When Reed retired from political life and
Dingiey pissed out into the larger life
beyond the grave, there was a feeling that
never again could the "Pine Tree State"
WELD her former iutiuenc In the mould
ing OF national policy.
But good men aud true have been put
forward to I'LL the gap made by the with
drawal OF these two leaders. Congress
man Allen, Reeds successor, is OF no
mean caiiber and, while not the peer OF
his predecessor, is yet representative
OF which any state may well be proud.
Congressman Littlefieid, who follows the
sagaciou- though quiet Dingley, is a man
OF spepdid parts.
1t Is well within the bounds OF truth to
say that no man, particularly in these
latter days, has in so short time attained
SO great a reputation In the national leg
isiature as Charles T. Littieheld. His
utterances in Congress have already
marked him as a man of wisdom, fearless
ness and independence. His Is the kind
OF character thai is ever required at the
centre OF governmental authority. The
country needs men broad enough oil
vision to see more than one thing at a
time, broad enough to see all things and
to see them in their right relations. Time
serving sectional narrowness has been
hindering IL not destructive In the past
and at the present juncture OF national
and Internal ional affairs would be doubly
dangerous.
These are days W hen men must think,
and think for themselves; when they
must study and think until they have
opinions and until their opinions ripen
into convictions. The future seems to be
more completely wrapped in the present
than at any previous epoch In our
nations experience; and unless the men
In control OF affairs possess sterling
qualities, evil must surely come. And In
this moment of difficulty, Maine honors
herself and contributes her mite-a mite
OF might-toward the settlement OF the
great problems that face America at the
opening of the twentieth century.
When one thinks of the comparative
lnsignificauce Of Maine, the first question
that forms itself is: "How can these
things be?" How is it possible for com
munity possessing SO small a proportion
OF wealth and population OF the country

Losses of Maine Regiments

Many disputes have arisen between
Maine veterans of the Civil war, es to
which regiment lost the largest number
OF men. The State of Maine sent to the
field as many soldiers as any state in the
Union, according to population, and each
regiment performed every duty it was
called upon to do. Some Of the regi
ments were engaged in more battles than
OF hers.
The First Maine regiment was mustered
in as a three-month ms regiment and upon
arrival in Washington went into camp on
Meridian Hill. In that camp the men
served their whole time of enlistment
The regiment did guard duty and all
OF her duties assigned it but did not en-
gage in any battle, or even see the enemy
during its service. On their return to
Maine most Of them re-enlisted in other
regiments, a very large majority going out
the second time in the Tenth Maine, a
regiment that did most excellent service.
The First Maine cavalry was engaged in
more battles and skirmishes than any
OF ner single body in the service.
The seven regiments from Maine losing
the largest number of men, not including
missing, were as follows:
First Heavy Artillery QSth). .561
First Cavalry ........................5 15
