journed passed an act during the last

journed passed an act during the last
session which means great deal to the
Maine farmer, the Maine packer and
the State as a whole. This has been
brought about largely through the eff
forts of Mr. Henry Dennis of Portland,
who had the backing of all the packers
in Maine and the earnest help and sup
port of the Maine delegation. A few
years ago it became known that GER
tain parties in other states We're using
Maine labels on corn packed elsewhere
and as the value of the Maine product
is greater than that of any other Sec
ton it was a manifest injustice. Not
only was it fraud on the consumer
who paid for an article which he dld
not get, but also upon the Maine pack
ers who had many hundreds of thou
sands of dollars invested in this in
dustry. To such an extent had this
fraud gone that Maine packers made
a united effort, but an unsuccessful
one, to get Congress to act. Several
bills We're reported, only to be smoth-
cred in the committees. Finding that
all efforts had been in vain, Mr. Henry
Dennis of Portland wrote to the Maine
delegation and by their persistent ef-
forts the Nacomber bill was passed
and it is understood was signed by the
President. The bill is short and to the
point. 1t expressly forbids false label
ing as to the state where the goods are
packed. Thus Iowa, Illinois or Con-
necticut corn cannot masquerade as
Maine. and if any party violates this
statute he may be fined not exceeding
$4,000 for each offense and the United
States attorney must prosecute. Al
ready the bill has had good results and
there is much anxiety as to the future
contracts, some of which, if filled, VIII
violate the law. The provisions OF this
act meet with the hearty approval OF
all the best merchants of New York al
well as the packers and the Maine
| farmers who will in the end profi
| largely by it. -.

The Presidents Popularity.

1t is amusing to note the laborious
efforts of some of the Democratic
papers to show that President Roose-
welt is out of step with his party, that
there is frequent friction between him
and the Republican leaders, and that
the rank and file look upon him with
distrust, fearing constantly that he
will make some break" Nothing
could be farther from the truth. Theo-
dore Roosevelt is the first Republican
in the land, today, not by virtue of his
official position but because he is first
in the hearts of Republicans, leaders
and followers, in every section of the
country one proof of this is seen in
the action of the Republican conven-
states. Their endorsement of him and
his administration has not been Il
merely pcrfunctory performance. In
every case it has been unqualified in its
terms and particularly earnest in its
spirit and it has been the feature of
every convention TO arouse demonstra-
tions of enthusiasm that were unmis
takabIy genuine and expressions of
loyalty that were too sincere for
shanming.
More than this. four great states,
Kansas. Pennsylvania, Missouri and
in, thair RnnIIhlirDn State
conventions, have in set terms declared
for the nomination of President Roose-
welt in 1904. and it is certain that the
same declaration will be made in other
state conventions yet to be held. The
Significance Of this IS not to be lightly
estimated. 1t is Il tribute which was
not even paid to President Mckinley in
the war year of 1898 when his re-nomi-
nation in 1900 was Il conceded and ac-
cepted thing. Such unprecedented eX-
IIcssions of endorsement and support
show III unmistakable terms where
President Roosevelt stands with his
party. Strong as he was with it in the.
summer of 1900 when the Philadelphia
convention, with IN enthusiastic in
sistence that would not be denied,
forced the vice presidential nominal
tion upon him, he is PROFESSIONALLY
much stronger today, with his party
and with the whole country. lie has
shown himself .ully equal to the great
responsibilities forced upon him 50
,suddcnly b. the assassination of
President Mckinley. He has been
master Of every situation, equal to
every emergency, and while his ability
has wen the admiration and confidence
of all. his aggressive and unwavering
honesty. his perfect franllness, ard his
fearless devotion to duty regardless Of
political results have made him one Of
IN" most popular men who ever held Il
position of power. The Republican
leaders and the Republican masses
stand with him i'll a united ana invinci-

system brings out an inquiry from q
subscriber as to the number of routes
now in operation. We have at hand
some figures just compiled by Super

though the first route was established
only six years ago, there We're, on
July /, 1902, exactly 9461 routes in
operation. There are to be $50 more on
August /, and 1918 petitions for routes
are still under consideration. Ac-
cording to population Iowa leads the

There were 954 routes in that state on

Railroad Accidents.

A leading railway journal has been
making an interesting study of the sta
tistics relating to American and Brit
ish railway accidents and the COMPARE
son is one that may bring about some
reforms. 1t is shown for the three
months ending with the last day of
December, 1901, there were PA pas
sengers killed and 2,0S9 injured by
United States, while for the whole
year in England the record shows
but IL persons killed and 673 injured,
and those who We're killed were en-
ployes, not single passenger meeting
death. Conditions in the two countries
are widely different, of course, England
having, for instance, but 21,6l1 miles
of road, whereas America has 1890.
There are eight miles of road in the
United States to one in England, and
then, too, their roads travel naturally
level and smooth country, whereas
ours climb mountain ranges, penetrate
forest and wilderness, and travel a
country where everything is COMPARE
lively new. The British roads carried
twice as many passengers in 1900,
however, as did our American systems.
In the year 1900 the census showed
that there were 1865 killed and 50,S20
injured on the railroads of the United
States. OF the number killed 1880
were employees, 249 We're passengers,
and 5,066 We're tramps and other per-
sons, while of the injured 36,643 Were
employees, AIS were passengers and
6,549 We're other persons. These fig
ures show that in the railroad acct
dents of this country the passengers
do not suffer nearly so much as do tho
employees, but the showing is, never
theless, nothing short of appalling.

crohes could not lodge there and so
human life was safer than in other
