II the President Had Been Killed.

The providential escape of President
Roosevelt from a sudden and terrible
death. last week, has profoundly stirred
the whole country. From every sec
ton have come expressions of thank
fulness at his escape, and the sincerity
of these expressions is beyond any
question. That incident at Pittsfield
has brought home to the country with
great force realization of how big
place in the hearts of the people is
filled by our Chief Executive. Mil
lions of our people when they read
that startling bulletin were suddenly
made aware how deep would be their
sense of personal loss were Theodore
Roosevelt suddenly snatched away. His
peril and escape for an instant put,
men where they would have been if the
worst had come.
Exactly one year ago the land was
plunged into deepest grief by the loss
of President Mckinley. In a moment all
tongue gave utterance to what was in
every heart. a tribute to the greatness
Of the fallen leader, his noble qualities,
his Christian character, his generous
nature. his patriotic purposes. So it is
with double force that the lesson of the
escape of our President at Pittsfield
comes home to our people. Let US not
wait for his death, whether it comes
during his term of office or later, 10
give the man the praise and credit that
is his due. He is the foremost Ameri-
can of our times, Il leader worthy of
every trust imposed, with an honesty
only surpassed by his energy, devoted
heart and soul to the welfare and
progress of cur country. II he has
faults and failings, they are the kind
that win the love of men as do his viz
tues. Let us stand by him, back him
and support him; giving him. through
the months and years to come, the
benefit while living of what we would
have felt if he had gone. He deserves
il and his great work needs it, Let
the voters of Maine keep this in mind,

Many former residents of WALDO

families that settled the town, are
asking why the annual meetings IN the
old German Lutheran church bullolhs
have been discontinued. Up TO Ae"
years ago, services were held there Oh
one Sunday of each year. ana were
always largely attended. Many went
from Rockland, Thomaston and other
neighboring places, and some VINO
take pride in their descent from Ger

much longer distances. The church Is
an object of historical interest 10 all.
1t is one of the few old architectural
landmarks that carry the mind pack
to the days of the pioneer clVulza-
ton and present a picture of the long
ago. With it's quaint pews, and pull
pit and d-fashion soundinS-board,
the old Bible, the sacramento vessels
and the church records, this grand old
building deserves to be held i'll reVef-
ence, and should receive the people at
a religious service at least once d
year. Many people express tnenl-
selves as puzzled to divine why tire
annual service has been discontinued
The event was always popular one

Names election, today, is of national
Importance. The whole country is
watching with intense interest the bat
tie here. In such a contest at such a
time it is inevitable that more than
local issues are involved. A vote for
the Republican ticket, today. is not only
vote for honest and able and
economical government of horne af-
fairs; it is also vote for the contnu
ance of the period of prosperity, for
the cause Of sound money and the poll

great problem confronting US and for

it is the duty Of the Republicans Of
Maine to do that today. in a way that

great Republican party throughout the
Union. Every Republican vote cast.
today. is a credit to the man who de-
posits it, and there was never a time
when there was less excuse for STAYING

or state or national issues. the Re
publican party is in the right and is
lie one to trust with power. There is
nothing to gain and everything to lose
by voting for a change. Whether you
consider their records in the past or
their attitude on the issues of the lay,
the Republican party, and not the
Democratic. is the one which has ac-
complished things for the welfare Of
the country and whose present policy
is safe, progressive and patriotic. The
Democratic party is the party of stag

Our Growing Commerce.

A writer in the Boston Journal points
out that even in these times of abound
ing home prosperity the United States
has surplus OF certain products for
shipment abroad. Our total exports Of
domestic merchandise go on increas-
ing. They were sl06,S60,000 for July
1902, as compared with $1o1, 100000 for
July of the year preceding.
Moreover. an Increasing proportion
of these sales of American merchan-
disc in the markets of the world
our manufactured exports We're $33.-
900 in July of this year. as COM
pared with S31,852,C00 in July of last
year. This splendid activity of
American manufacturing is manifest
further in the increased import of
crude materials. This rose from s22,-
38S,G0O in July Of 1901 to $24,7S1, 600 in
July of 1902 Many of these crude ma
terias are on the tariff free list.
This increase OF the foreign COM
merce of the United States in these
good times is especially significant. 1t
has often happened that in times OF
home depression our goods have been
forced into foreign markets, because
there was no demand for them here,
and sold at sacrifice prices to foreign
ers. That is not true now. The home
demand is so heavy and 50 constant
that no American producers need to
dispose Of goods at unrenumerative
figures. either at home or abroad. II
is a foreign commerce, natural, whole
some, firmly founded, which maintains
and even increases its volume under
such conditions as those which now
obtain in America.

Bryan on Roosevelt.
(Boston Transcript.

What Mr. Bryan says about Presi-
dent Roosevelt's trust policy is pre-
cisely what Mr.. Bryan might be eX-
pected to say. 1t is Mr.. Bryan's cue, as
the man who aspires to be the War
wick of the Democracy, to accuse Mr..
Roosevelt of insncerity and to ridicuie
the methods the latter proposes. Mr..
Bryan simply shows himself for wh2
he is, very commonplace politician,
one of the class who are always ready
to say OF a leader of the other side.
Pooh. pooh: he doesn't mean it. M.
Bryan also reveals himself as a man
of surprisingly short memory of his
own words. Today he ridicules the
idea of Il Federal law being of any
value for the supervision of corpora
tons. Only few years ago Mr.. Bryan
himself in a set speech more carefully
worded than most of his utterances,
advocated Il Federal corporation law as
the great need of the hour and rs the
best method of compelling trusts to
show what they We're made of and no"
thew operated.

From Private to General.

Several papers in speaking OF the
18th birthday of General Frank G..
Nickerson of Cambridge, Mass. have
said that he was the only man now
living in New England to enter the
army as private in the Civil War
and come out as brigadier general.
Augusta has no intention of allowing
such misstatement to circulate uncor-
rected. for one of our most CHS
tinguished citizens, Ex-Governor Sell
den Conner. can be credited with that
same splendid necord.zls n s'es
He enlisted in April i6l, as a privat e
in the ranks. saw the hardest kind of
active service, as his two crutches elo-
quentIy testify, and after winning
rapid promotion by his galiantry in
battle was commissioned a brigadier
general by President Lincoln in June,
1864, and it was as a brigadier gen.
eral that he was later mustered out.
Whether there are others now living in
New England who rose from private to
brigadier general we do not know, but
certainly the name of General Conner
is with that of General Nickerson on
this roll of honor which. for the whole
country, must be very short
General Nickerson, by the way, Is
also a Maine man, a native OF Swan

as a private in the 4th Maine. He vas

Why every dollar we have in our pock-

argument in favor of continuing Re-
