Mr.. Burleigh Declines the Honor.
CBangOr NewS)

Bangor News)
Nearly every Maine man who has the
mend the manly utteranccs of Repre-
third Maine Congressional district
when he SAYS he will not be a candidat e
for United States Senator against Senator
Hale before the legislature of 1905 The
words are well placed and will bear very
much weight with the public. Take him
for al and all, Mr.. Burleigh must be
politicians. In the first place he has the
reputation of getting whatever he goes
after, which is very good reputation to
have He has also been in the public
eye 1or long time, and those who study
his record longest find therein the most
to admire. He is a man who wears we'll
a person who does not shrink or change
color in washing. Had it not been for
leigh Maine would have had only three
representatives in Congress today instead
OF the four which we now have. had it not
been for the tact and kindly forebcarance
OF this same man, many discussions would
have arisen and much harm would have
been done.
And his reasons are cogent and sound
and OF a character to win friends among
the people at large. Owing to their long
terms of service in the upper branch, and
to their knowledge of what Maine people
want and to their ability to secure these,
wants with the least delay and trouble.
DOlll ocIldlOTS RYE ana Hale nave gained
an ascendancy in the councils of the ma
ton such as few other men ever held,
and such as no man can hope to hold
until he has served long and become IA
miliar with legislative methods For
these reasons Mr.. Burleigh gives us to I'M
derstand that he shall not oppose the
reelection of either senator so long as he
lives, and is willing to fill the position he
holds.
In making this open statement we be-
lieve Mr.. Burleigh gives voice to the
prevailing sentiment in Maine, a senti-
ment which is not confined to the Re-
publican party, but which prevails bust
ness circles all over the State. The adj
mitted strength of Mr.. BurIeigh III his
party, his proved and provable power to
control votes and to win friends and his
voluntary statement made months in adj
vance of any possible contest for the high
place-all these facts will tend to endeal
him to the people and to members of his
party and will give him renewed strength
lin the councils of the nation. That form
of transacting public Business and of Sc
lecting candidates for office which we in
clude under the general word of politics.
will have q, more savCry aspect and Will
leave a sweeter taste in the mouth Of the
public, so tC speak, since Mr.. Burleigh
has made voluntary remuneration OF his
reasonable claim to advancement to a
higher position.

Congressman Stevens of Minnesota.
JOHN r. HILL.
BYRON BOYD,
Secretary of State.

Congressman r. c. Stevens Of St.
Paul Is one of the most useful men the
state of Minnesota ever sent to WASH
ingtOn. His proposition to have con-
Eress look into the important matters
Of better communication between Fort
Smelling and the cities of Minneapolis
and st. Paul and into the practicabilty
of utilizing the water power created by
the construction of the Meeker island
locks and dams, is an illustration Of
how he works at his job of being a con-
gresham. He is capable business
man, takes a business view of things
and while he goes unaccountably wrong
once in a while. as in the case of Cuban
reciprocity, he accomplishes so much
for the people of the state and studies
the business interests of the Minnesota
public so diligently. that he has earned
the distinction he enjoys of being the
member to whom not only the people of
st. Paul, but of Minneapolis and the
state generally. are inclined to look
when there is something ito be done
Mr.. Stevens is St Paurs representative
and is loyal to his constituency, but not
in any narrow sense. Minneapolis has
much reason to appreciate his diligence
and broad-minded efficiency.-Min-
neapolis Journal.
This warm praise from one of the
leading papers of the Northwest will be
pleasant reading to the many Maine
friends of Congressman Stevens. He
frequently comes back here to visit the
scenes of his boyhood and to attend
commandments at Bowdoin College
where he graduated in 81, and the sue
cess he Is winning in st. Paul and
Washington do not cause any wavering
in his allegiance to the old state. Maine
has sent a host of sons to help make St.
Paul and Minneapolis the great cities
that they are-no state has done more
and they will never forget the debt.

There are people who are fine and
sincere and of noble simplicity Of char
acter except when they are buying
theatre tickets. A nice little tailor
made girl, with a face like an angel
and a figure too perfect to discuss, says
in soft, dreamy, trusting voice:
II want two nice seats for Wednes-
day matinee of this week" Z
Now. there's nothing too good for
that girl. She may have whatever her
heart desires, for any mortal who has
been so exquisitely fashioned must of
a certainty be a darling of the GODS"
And if the gods see fit to indiscrimi-
nately shower their gifts on the little
heather that she is, why shouldn't the
box office man emulate the example as
far as lies in his power? Making the
attempt, he says: "a
Here, I've got two fine seats. They're
just two seats from the aisle in the
fourth row, centre. It's really one of
the best locations in the house. and as
the main action occurs on this side, you
can readily see the advantage of being
stationed here"

has intimated by word and tone how
much he thinks of them, and he knows
If she doesn't take them he'll never
smile again. He'd like to tell her this
and beg her to Danish from her mind
all thoughts of being cheated. To
cheat that girl were a. sacrilege-the
objectionable sin. OF course, not be-
ing able to tell her these things, the
preverse little heather with the tilted
nose has no method of ascertaining
for herself, and, Furthermore, a homely
chum has warned her against the wiles
and wickedness of box Office men. So
she says:
Il don't know what to take-these
fourth row seats downstairs or the first
row balcony. Which would you take If
you were in my place."
"Me?" says the box office man, fiat
tered by, the bestowal of confidence.
What seats would 1 take? Why, I'd
take these two in the fourth row, down.

"Woud you, really?' she says.

Reflections of a Bachelor.

A woman never knows why she loves a
man; he never cares.
Some people are so naturally wicked
they don't get any worse even when they
so into politics.
Once there was a woman who did not
believe every word of her love letters; but
she never got any.
If a man knows how to make his garden
grow mis- wife can believe he knows how
to do most anything.
You can never make girl who knows
how to make angel cake believe she
wouldn't be a useful wife.

1t Often HAPPENS,

No golden grain his acres yield
There's naught but rubbish in each field
To show for all his laborS.
But there are wondrous crops of corn,
To make his brow sad and forlorn,
In fields owned by his neighbors.
ITS just the way hard works repaid
Thus dreams to disappointment fade, =
The man is heard to mutter.
You see, when others sowed and plowed,
He hid from all the busy crowd
1nventing a corn cutter.
It's often thus: each has his aim
Some project that will give him fame
And earnestly pursues 1t.
But other things he will neglect,
And finally, you might expect
He has no chance to use it.

Government Engineers Tell Why They OPP
pose Extensive Improvement of
the kaw River,

Washington, Dec. 15.-The board Of
engineers for rivers and harbors has
made report to congress relative to
the proposed improvement by the gov
eminent of the Kaw river The report
says; This river has little or no COM
merce, either local or general. Upon
the Missouri river, which is many
times larger than the Kaw, and to
which the latter is tributary, the ex-
penditure of large sums for improve
ment has not resulted in the develop
ment Of any considerable commerce.
The board is of the opinion that the
improvement of the Kaw would result
in no transportation route of value
commensurate with the cost, and fur
thermore, that the existing bridges
near the mouth of the river, the great
value Of real estate in the vicinity,
and the slight commercial demand for
such increased facilities, render mad
visable the improvement of the mouth
of the Kaw for local harbor purposes.
For these reasons the board believes
that it is not desirable that the United
States should undertake the improve
ment Of the Kaw river near its mouth"
