Today's Elections.

stand by the administration of
Theodore Roosevelt" is the Republican
battle cry all over the country, today.
In ali but the three or four states,
Maine among them, which have al
ready had their elections, the voters are
marching up to the polls, today. Con-
gressmen all voted for in all of them
and In many Of them state officials are
TO be chosen and also legislatures
which will select United States sena-
tors In only few states has, the cam
pa.gn been a lively one The people
have been too busy and too well salts
fed with Republican rule to devote
much time to political agitation. There
is everything to make the Republicans
feel confidence in the general results.
There will probably be off year losses
here and there, but there viii be no of
year slump" and no "off year sweep
by the opposition. On the contrary
there will be gains in some sections,
and II seems well assured that the Re
pubIicans will have a majority in the
next House. The next Senate is sure
to have about the same overwhelming
Republican majority as the present
one.
The Democrats have undoubtedly
been making strenuous efforts all along
the lire and have been getting togeth-
er again. Even Cleveland has APP
peared on the stump for them and Hill
has been running the New York cam
paien. In Massachusetts as well as
New York they are making mighty eff
forts and most of the interest in the
result. outside of the general congress
sional results, centers in those two
states. The returns will be watched for
with much eagerness in Maine. This
State did it's duty in September and
set the country a splendid example.
May the Republicans throughout the
land do equally well, today. The ad-
ministration needs the support of a
Republican congress for the next two
years. A Democratic Congress would
be simply an obstacle to the wheels of
progress, and the country cannot afford
to try the experiment of electing one.

s.nsibl. Word. From Mitchell.

In his address at Wilkesbarre upon
Mitchell day." John Mitchell. the head
of the great organization of miners,
spoke some sensible words which
should be blazoned in the hall OF ev-
cry labor organization in the country.
No sounder or wiser words have been
uttered in all the long dispute between
labor and capital than when he said:
IT want the union workers to prove
that they are better workers than the
non-union men" II unionism will take
this for its motto and the spirit OF these
words for it's mission no voice In the
country will be raised against the or
1anization of labor. There will be no
complaint against unionism as an UNI
reasonable, tyrannical and dangerous
trust.
Those words of President Mitchell go
TO the heart of the labor union ques-
ton. On the ground of making its
members the best workers in their va
rious liEes. and on that ground alone,
unionism can hope for permanent sue
cess. Employers want the most skill
full, the most efficient, and the most
Trustworthy labor, and not only do en-
ployers want it, but industry, public
welfare and every commercial interest
demand it. When union workers prove
they are the best workers they will be
employed to the exclusion of non-union
workers, and there will be no need of
strikes to bring about this end. Union
ism stultifies the cause of labor and fails
in its highest aim when it demands the
exclusion of non-union workers, as IS
often done, for no other reason than
that they are non-union.

George Washington, Master Mason.

George Washington, Master Mason.
Tomorrow there will be celebrated in
Philadelphia an event of much interest
to all members of the Masonic order in
America and throughout the world. 1t
will be the 150th anniversary of the in
lodge at Fredericksburg, Virginia, and
extensive preparations have been made
for a proper observance of the occasion.
President Roosevelt. who is a Mason as
most of his predecessors have been, Will
be present and also prominent mem
bers of the order from all parts of the
country.
The connection of Washington with
the Masonic fraternity, the oldest and
greatest of all secret organizations, is
an important chapter in the story of
his life and is something of which the
craft is Justly proud. He joined he
order in early manhood and until his
death, almost half n century later. was
"A devoted and influential member, hold
ing many important offices, always
consistent in his adherence to the ten
cts of the order and often participant
ing in public Masonic demonstrations.
After the close of the Revolution, when
he was the first man in America, he did
not deem it beneath him to serve as
master of Alexandria lodge. and in 1893
while he was President he took PROM
inent part i'm the Masonic ceremonies
attending the laying of the corner
stone of the national capitol. When his
dust was consigned to the tomb at Mt
Vernon il was with the highest Ma
sonic honors.
Thus il is fitting that American Ma
sonny should observe the 150th anniver-
sary of the Father of his Country's
earliest connection with the order and
it is an event Of no little general in
terest. In 1899 the centennial of his
death was observed with Masonic cere-
monies at Mt. Vernon and General
Choate of this city. then grand mas
ter of Maine. was among the many
hish officials Of the fraternity who par
ticipated. An interesting feature of
the present celebration will be a col
lection including regalia worn by
Washington when an officer. the char
4 ter of Alexandria lodge with his sigma
ture as one of the founders. minutes Of
lodges over which he presided and
which he visited. aprons and Jewels
presented him by Masons abroad, and
rare old letters. addresses and por-
traits associated with his connection
with the order.
1t is of interest to note in this connec-
ton that not only was Washington a
Mason but many of those closest to him
and most prominent In the war for in
dependence were also active i'm the or
der as Lafayette, Gen. Green, Benja-
min Franklin. General Putnam, Paul

o. w. knight, of Bangor, in a letter
to the Commercial, has something to
say regarding the reported discovery of
coal in the Fish River region. He says
he recently spent five days in this re-
gion and made n thorough examination
of the alleged coal deposit. The rock
formation there is of that type of slate
or shale, so common in may parts of
the State, containing small pockets
and incrustatiOns of graphitOidal car
bon. Instead of being an indication of
coal, this formation is the best posi-
BILE Indication that coal does not exist
in the vicinity. Mr.. Knight is of the
opinion that if coal is ever discovered
in Maine it will be somewhere i'm the
eastern part of Washington county and
that to seek for it elsewhere is waste
of time and money.

nected up she will be ready for her
trial trip. The ship will have two

These lights will be located one above

She will be anchored with a mush-

with an inch and five-eighths chain

This will be brought in through both

waiting for her for eighteen months.
