The President and Secretary Root
have received another appeal from
the Manila chamber of commerce for
free trade between the Philippines
and the United States. So insistent
are the Filipinos becoming in their
demands for free trade, and so Logical
is their argument, based on the ex-
ample of Porto Rico, which has pros
pered so extensively since free trade
was granted the island, that it is
deemed likely that the effort to sus-
pend the tariff on Philippine imports
will be renewed during the coming
session of Congress. Senators Lodge
and Foraker are both enthusiastic IL
favor of such move and, in fact, il
was only the opposition of the demo
cratic senators from Colorado which
prevented a greater reduction of the
tariff on Philippine goods at the las
session.

Maine Farms.

e. A. Strout, the weil-known real
estate man of Portland, formerly of
Augusta, says that since March is,
1908, he has sold eighty three farms
in Maine, and nearly every one to
men from other states who come here
to get living on our farms. More
than this, the reason for selling in al
most every case is so apparent that
no one can question the step, and the
sales are not made to enable people
to leave Maine. Age, sickness and
death have been the chief causes, and
these must ever result in property
changes.
What is especially to be noted is
that the value of Maine farms, ouI
nearness to the best markets of the
world, superior school advantages,
health giving climate, and the prices
at which these productive farms are
offered combine to give force to the
attractions and insure steady incom-
ing of men and women to help build
up our agriculture.

The watchword of Women.

Modesty is woman's watchword. Whatever
threatens her delicate sense of modesty, fright
ems her. For this reason many a woman per,
mits diseases of the delicate womanlv organs to
become aggravated because she cannot bring
herself to submit to the ordeal of unpleasant
questionings, offensive examinations. and OBJ
noxious local treatments, which some physi-
clans find necessary. Doubtless thousands of
the women who have taken advantage of DIR
Pierce's offer of free consultation by letter,
have been led to do so by the escape thus offered
from treatment repugnant to modesty. Any
sick woman may write TO DR.. Pierce, Buffalo,
N. r., In perfect confidence; all letters being

envelopes with no advertising or printing upon
them. DIR. Pierces Favorite Prescription has
been long hailed as a "God. send to women %

ADemocratic Gun Spiked.


Deeply as they regret the discovery
that corruption exists in the execu-
tive departments in, Washington,
republicans here, and probably
throughout the country, are rejoiced
that President Roosevelt has had the
courage to probe to the bottom one
government department, and now
contemplates the thorough investiga-
ton of another.
There is in some quarters an i'm
preston that the control of the reins
of government by one of the great
parties, beyond a limited time, in
eyitabIy results in dishonest admins
tration, and the time is not remote
when the democrats gained national
victory with the slogan: ''Turn the
rascals out"
That they might have done so again,
had there been any lack of earnest
. mesa on the part of the President in
investigating the postoffice depart
ment, is admitted by the wiser repub-
Gcan politicians, but it is appreciated
now, even by the democrats, that Mr..
Roosevelt has effectually spiked any
democratic guns which may have been
loaded with charges of corruption by
inaugurating a thorough investiga-
ton of the postoffice department and
by preparing for top to bottom in
spection of the government printing
office

1t IS estimated That never IN 1te history
has Bar Har5or been visited By such great
crowds of people as were here last Sun
day. They came from every direction; a
conservative estimate places the mum Der
of excursionists at 5 900 They came from
all over the eastern part of the State,
while from Bangor alone came over 1000
Tue early morning train brought what
would ordinarily be considered big
crowd but the noon train was the record
breaker. The Maine Central train left
the Union station at Bangor with nine
passenger cars filled with people and
drawn by two locomotives.
When the train reached the Exchange
street depot q huge crowd was waiting,
and special train was hurriedly made up
and followed the regular.
So great was the crowd arriving at Mt.
Desert Ferry that the Maine Central
steamers 'Sappho" and "Norumbega"
could not handle 1t, and the steamer
and brought to Bar Hsrbor the overflow.
\ From the eastward the ZONES" brough t
some 300 excursionists, and the steamers
.MerrycoDeag" and "Minnehsha"
brought thousand or so from Rockland,
Camden, Rockport and nearby points.
The lodestoue that brought this i'm
mense crowd to Bar Haroor was Of course
the presence Of the great feet of warships
in the bay. Practically all the visitors
went out to inspect the ships, and the
steamers and launches at Corners aud
Tracy's wharves were kept on the move
from morning till night. The blackboard
and cutunder mon reaped a harvest in
| interest about the town, and the hotels
and restaurants had more business than
they could cater to.
The two ships that had the greatest at
traction for the visitors were the "Kear-
sarge" and the 20 ympis", the former on
account of her recent remarkable race
across the Atlantic, combined with the
type from any ship which has ever been
in the hsrbor, and the latter because she
was Admiral Dewey's flagship at the
battle of Manila bay.
The crowd was remarkably weli> handled
and excellent order was maintained
throughout the day.
OF course there was some drunkenness,
but considering the great crowd Of excur.
sionists, and the hundreds of sailors from
| the ships, it was hardly worth mention
ing. Early Sunday evening the police
and the sailors had q collision, and for a
few minutes things looked squally.

War Ships SaiI--A Record Breaking
Crowd Knockabout Races.
BAR HARBoR, aug. 4 tspecisl)-The
much talked-of search problem, the SOW
ing OF which will occupy portion OF the
United States navy during the present
| week, is row on. The squadron which
will represent the "enemy" left Bar Hsr-
Dor at O'Clock Monday morning In COM
mand OF Rear-Admirsl Sands, OF the
second-clsss battleship Texas.
The fleet consists OF the Texas, the
frst-class battleships Indiana" and
Massschusetts'', aud the torpedo boat
destroyers Lawrence" and "Whipple".
The feet steamed straight out to sea,
and Its destination Is not known. The
task which this squadron, known as the
enemy, has assigned is to come to an
anchorage undiscovered in some bsrbor
between Easport and Gloucester, while the
object of the defending squadron is to
prevent the accomplishment OF that
object.
Admiral Sands has five days In which
to accomplish his purpose, and In order to
be successful he must enter some hsrbor
undiscovered and remain in possession for
five hours. At the end OF the search prob
lem the ships will return to this harbor
for coal.
OF course the plans OF the attacking
squadron are not known, bat the opinion
prevails thst the "enemy" will proceed to
sea and delay the attempt for day or
-, IL y1n
their descent upon the coast.
AS the situation is now, the defending
squadron is favored by the weather, as
there is fine moon, and no sign OF fog.
Each side realizes that u faces difficult
proposition, and while the weather at
present fsvors the defence. It Is a long
coast line to protect.
Many guesses are being made as to the
probable harbor the enemy will try to
enter, and among the many places mem
toned are Rockland, Camden, Castine,
Boothbay Harbor, Portsmouth, N. IL,
PASSPORT.
One of the interesting features in con-
nection with the search will be the opera
ton OF the Marconi wireless telegraph
system. The "Kearssrge", "Itliuois,"
"Olympla" and prairie" have been
equipped with apparatus.
Rear-Admirsl Barker will have charge
OF the defending squadron, and will be as
sisted by -Admirals Coghan and
Wise. The ships now remaining at Bar
Hsrbor have orders to be ready to sail at
any time after midnight Tuesday. 1t Is
probable that they will go to sea early
Wednesday morning.
