Though Governor Hill shows clearly
the excellent condition of State finances
and rejoices in the prosperity
of the State. he sounds with unmis-
emphasis the noteiof economy
flor the coming session. No sense OF
having money to spend shepuld be al
lowed by ne-I.egislature to dominate
Its proceedings. The greater part of
the money now in the treasury will be
needed to discharge obligations soon
PAYABLE. AS a rule the State depart
merits and institutions have found the
sums set apart for their use. two years
ago, ample for their needs, and no new
appropriation should be made unless
the most thorough examination and
careful consideration show that the
best interests of the State require it.
Governor Hill deserves the earnest and
unanimous support of the Legislature
| in his declaration that mot dollar
should be wasted or unnecessarily ex-
lnended, but the same careful, prudent
management, the same judicious
economy which characterizes the adj
ministration of every successful private
enterprise should be exercised in con-
Quoting the business of the State"
| The Governors recommendation as
| to the purchase of State bonds when
good opportunity is offered is also
worthy of consideration. 1t would
undoubtedly be sound business policy
Il for the State treasurer to be authorized
to buy up such bonds when there are
funds in the treasury available for such
a purpose. In that way the State debt
can more rapidly be reduced and in
terest charges saved. AS it now
stands. the last of the State debt will
not be paid until 1929. A number OF
the states are now out of debt AND
Maine ought to be before that time.

Governor does not advocate a change
Of any essential features; but he feels
that notifications may be made in it
that will give force to the plain intent
of the voter.
Among the recommendations of the
message, none is more important, than
that for The enactment of a law govern
ing primaries. This would, undoubtedly,
involve some form of registration by
parties at some prior date to the hold
inc of the fcaucuses-a date sufficiently
remote from them to make it sure that
any contests which might arise could
exercise no direct influence upon the
lists prepared for use in such prlm-
aries. The voter at the polls need not
be a. partisan; but one who partlci-
pates in party caucus proclalms NM
self as such by that very act. If he is
not a member of the organization With
which he thus assumes to act he is
guilty of a grave misdemeanor, and one
which it should be possible to reach
| and punish by law. The purity of the
primaries lies at the very basis OF
popular government, and they cannot
| he too carefully safeguarded. A
registration by parties would at least
make it impossible for any voter to
participate in the primaries of more
than enc political party and would
doubtless. in the main. secure fail
depression of party judgment in the
selection of nominees.
These and other recommendations
some of which the Journal will, later
consider more in detail. will not fail t.
command the attention they merit.
The message is practical education
|oe State affairs, and we trust tina
levery patron of the Journal will give i
the close and careful reading it s'
richly deserves.

Reflections of a Bachelor.

When man marries his debt begins.
Most men find it very easy to make
love to all women except their wives
The man who always tells his wife
he is sorry he was so cross when she
scolded him is bound to get along in
the world by making friends.
When a girl comes out of corner
where she has been alone with a man
you can always tell whether he has
kissed her by the way she looks as
if he hadn't.
One reason, why bad boys don't get
caught with the old trick of giving
them Bible with money between the
leaves is because they fling it into a
corner and the money falls out.-New

State Finances and Resources.

Of the many interesting features of
Governor Hills second inaugural ad-
dress that relating to the finances and
resources of the State will probably
command the most attention. The
showing made is one that reflects the
greatest credit upon the administra-
ton of State affairs for the past two
years, and will be exceedingly crafty
ing to our taxpayers. The legislation
of two years ago which had in mind
the increase of State revenues proves
to have been most wisely framed, and
it's results. supplementing the business
like management of State affairs with
the finances of Maine upon the best
basis in years.
Within the past two years the entire
temporary loan of $35O,O0O has been
paid. More than that, $4,000 has been
paid on account of the Eastern Maine
Insane hospital; the bonded debt has
been cut down 100000 and the cash on
hand at the end of 1902 was $240,013
more than two years earlier. This
means a net gain of $746,O13 in the two
years. The cash on hand, December
81, was $i38, S92. With such care and
economy have the various State de-
partmeuts and institutions been man.
aged that during the two years an I'M
expended balance of appropriations
amounting to $67, 1862 has reverted to the
treasury. How eloquent is such i
statement of the fidelity with which
the trust reposed by the people has
been executed.
Along with this splendid showing of
the condition of the treasury where the
receipts have so largely exceeded the
expenditures, and where careful and
economical management is so well in
evidence. it is of interest to note the
figures which mark the continued
growth and prosperity of the State.
L ne Valuation OI lHe SIdle Is HOW SET
at 1926, 9iS, 121, gain of $15,529, 24S in the
two years. OF this increase no less
than s6,4O1, 532 is on the valuation OF
wild lands. There is no better index
of the prosperity of the masses of the
people than the savings banks de-
posits, and the fact that the depositors
now number 237, 740, about a third OF
the entire population of the State, a
gain of 1880 in two years, is one of
great significance. The deposits in
the savings banks are having a yearly
increase of about 100000
In the matter of our, States re-
sources it is worth while to note what
is said on the important subject of
forestry. The Governor is no alarmist
and he deduces from the figures of the
forestry commissioner that the growth
of our spruce forests is about keeping
pace with the consumption and that
fires. not industries, are the danger
which threaten their determination.

The Messaae of Years.

Backward points the tragic finger
Ger the ruthless march of time,
Whether traced in glacial footprints
Or in fronded palm and pine;
Ever trailing like serpent
Through the tombs of dead past years
Never staying, never lingering,
BY the sea of futile tears.
Wealth, ignominy and honor
All alike are on the wing;
Autumn knows her full fruition
But TO die and follow spring.
Morning daWnS whilst noon advances,
Swiftly follows night and sleep,
When the king and slave together i,
In the dust of whirlwindS sweep.
All is dead and past and buried,
Future comes that it may flee
Into caves and tombs and dungeons
Or the soundless depths of sea. -
After Egypt came a HollaS,
, After Hollas came a Rome,
Who in turn cries for her legiOns
To the vast skys boundless dome.
Every Caesar has his Brutus;
Pomp and power its wreath of rue;
Whilst the mighty shout in triumph,
Time spins out a Waterloo.

In the January Review of Reviews,
the late Hon. Thomas B. Reed in en-
tering upon the practice of law in
New York had no intention of remain
ing permanently in the metropolis, and
he adds: Having in three years
gathered the modest fortune which he
thought necessary, he was preparing to
return to Congress from his old dis
trict at the next election. his former
private secretary Representative AL
len. who had taken his place, being
ready to retire in his favor. He would
have been only IS when he re-
turned to Congress, and might have
added largely to his fame. He might
have been again speaker, and perhaps
even president" 1t is difficult to be-
lieve that any such program could
have been marked out by Mr.. Reed. 1t
may have been the dream of some OF
his less wise friends.
Here is the truthful story of the bust
ness ventures of a South Brewer mari
ner: Captain Walter Gregg of the
schooner Matte. who has been max
ing regular trips between South Brewer
and Isle au Haut during the summer,
has hauled up his staunch craft and
gone to studying conchology. The
latter part of October when he made a
trip down river for fish, he found the
