THE pLEDGEs ARE KEPT.

Both pledges have been so well kept
that, as is but too often the case, men are
beginning to forget how much the keeping
of them is meant. When people have be
come very prosperous they tend to become
sluggishly Indifferent to the confirmation
of the policies that brought about their
prosperity. At such times as these It u.s.
Of course, a mere law of nature that some
men prosper more than others, and too
often those who prosper less in their jeal-
ousy of their more fortunate brothers forget
that all have prospered somewhat ask
you soberly to remember that the com
plant made at the present day Of our in
dustrial or economic conditions never takes
the form of stating that any of our people
are less well off than they were seven or
eight years back. before = resident McKin-
ley came In and his policies had a chance
TO be applied; but that the complaint Is
that some people have received more than
their share Of the good things o. the world.
There was no such complaint eight years
not then made that any one had prospered
too much; It was that no one had
prospered enough. Let each ono Il rs
think Of the affairs Of his own household
and his own life, let each Of ls compare
his standing now with his standing eight
years back and then leT him anSv er for
himself whether Il Is not trlc that the
policies for which William Mckirey stood
in 1896 have justified Themselves thrice
over by the results they have brought
about.

sues Of battle, have become our wards. Let

''In 1900 the issues were in part the same.
but new ones had been added, Prosperity

the lines that have marked II at all periods

our greatest men made issues-they have

EXTENSIVE REPAIRS ON
WIN00SKI MILLS

Winooskl, July 2l.--The large brick
chimney at the boiler house in the
rear OF. the Colchester plill was taken
down late Saturday afternoon by Mas
ter Mechanic Geo. D. Nash and force
The chimney, which was smaller than
the one at the woolen mill was IS
feet in height and had a 80 inch 1lue
and was built in 1888 by Mr.. Nash.
Its destruction was made necessary to
make room for an engine house,
which will be made by remodeling
the boiler house now on the site, to
accommodate 1000 horse power auxi-
liary engine. the motive power will
be steam and will be generated from
the boilers at the woolen mills. The
wooden mill boiler will also undergv
extensive alterations,
The fire boilers now in use will be

which will be required when the extra

undertaking calls for an interesting
piece of engineering, The new addi-
ton to the wOrSted mill. in course OF
construction, is rapidly nearing com.

With the close Of this weeks work
all outside work is expected to be com.
plered. The mill will be devoted en-
tirely to weaving and dressing cloth.
The former Colchester mill which has
been filed with new Il achinery
