A correspondent of the Boston
Transcript gives an interesting glimpse
Of political conditions in the Middle
West as they affect Democratic reor-
ganization. He finds that the western
Democrats have by no means lost their
taste for radicalism and have no long
ing to be "reOrganized' under the di-
rection of their brethren of the North
east. To quote this correspondents
estimate; There must be n dash OF
radicalism. from all local appearances,
TO any Democracy which will attract
new strength in the West" This is 4
consideration often lost sight of in the
cons ervative Northeast and the con-
sentative South in forecasting the flu
ture of the Democracy. With radical
ism strong enough to provoke discor I,
even IL it is not equal to domination, it
looks as if the St. Louis convention
Knight be a pretty interesting gather
ing both in its progress and in it's NOM
ination.

Successful men know when not to tempt
failure.
Habit may be a mans best friend OF
his worst enemy.
Any man who thinks he is counting al
angel may live to think again.
Buying ready-made clothing has cured
many man of periodical fits.
You may have observed that a bachelor

Some artists are not half as bad as they
paint-and the same may be truthfully
said of some society women.
Young men, don't turn down a leap

She may be able to pay your board.
If many a so-called great man could
come back to earth and glance over his

prise him more than any one else.

Mr.. Cobb's Support.

There is a new charge against MT.
Cobb. Some of the members of the
State committee are favorable to MS
candidacy! Some of the members are
also favorable to his opponents; but
these we are given to understand are
the good members and consequently
do not count. II there is any good
reason why a member of the state
committee should not favor and sup
port the candidate of his choice we
certainly have not discovered it. We
are scarcely ready to admit that men
who give freely of their time in the
party cause should be deprived of their
right to be heard in the part
primaries. But it is said that Mr..
Cobb's candidacy was first brought
forward by members of the COM
mittec. This is not true. Mr.. Cobp $
fitness for the place was mrs
urged by his friends in Knox county,
precisely as Mr.. Fernald's was urged
by his friends in AndrOscoggin county,
and Col. Prescott's by his friends IN
York county. All of them sought sup
port from members of the State COM
mittee, and all of them have their
friends in that body. If Mr.. Cobb
candidacy appealed favOrably TO Il
majority of them the fact would GER
tainly seem to be creditable to the
popular Rockland candidate. One
thing is very evident, his strength ms
been by no means confined to these
gentlemen as is shown by the general
character of the support accorded him
especially i'm the small towns of our
state, where the people nave rallied
very strongly to his support.

est argument on retaining the cap

they get orator Jack Loekhart to
make bis plea for sympathy. They
declare that the people nave invest
ed their money at the present capital
and that it would be an injury TIC
them to remove it at this time. The
population figures Indicate that the
people in vast numbers have pulled
out of that section for reasons best
known to themselves. In 1898
Hughes county had a population of
5.044 and the last census shows that
nearly 1000 people have moved away
from there in that time. The re-
moval of the capital will not have
the least injury Oh the people because
they are leaving there. The country
will not be injured half so much by
removing the capital as it will by
departure of the people. who are
going Of their own free will.
