Advocates of co-education will be in

University. They were together on the
editorial staff of the college paper and
graduated together in 1872. Two years
later they We're married. When young
Fairbanks entered college at the age of
16 his resources consisted of exactly
s41, which he had earned by deing farm
work. During his college course he
boarded himself and worked Saturdays
and vacations as q carpenter to earn
the much needed money for his college
expenses. Those Democratic editors
who have spoken of Senator Fairbanks,
since he has received the vice-presi-
Dental nomination, as an aristocrat
and a plutocrat, are confronted by the
fact that he was born i'm a log cabin
and that his early life was full of hard
ships and struggles. His aristocracy is
the inheritance of the best New Eng
land blood and he had the stuff in him
to win success when he engaged in
battle with the world.

Ingenious American insurance men
have devised about all the forms of in
surance under the sun, but it has re-
manned for Denmark to develop the no
less unique line of insurance business
than that of taking risks on old maids.
The scheme is something like this: Any
young woman pays a certain sum each
year, and then if she reaches the age of
10 unmarried, she receives pension
the rest of her life. If she marries be-
fore that age she loses the insurance.
and the premiums paid remain in the
Golfers Of the company. This kind of
insurance suggests several interesting
questions. Why may it not be classed
as against public policy because in
fact IL imposes fine on any insured
person who gets married? Then there
is the very delicate matter of rates
which would manifestly have to be de-
termined according to the attractive
ness of the young lady and the likel-
hood of her marriage. AS yet Den
mark has the monopoly of this kind Of
insurance, but it is not at all unlikely
that some enterprising American COM
pany will soon adopt it.

The New National Chairman.

AT first there were some murmurings
when it was announced that Secretary
Cortelyou was to be chairman of the
Republican national committee. but a
little reflection caused these to cease,
and already it is evident that his choice
was wise and happy one. There is
every reason to believe that Mr.. Cor
telyou will prove the same efficient ex-
ecutive officer in his new position that
he has shown himself to be in the va
rious positions of trust which he has
held. He is not of the type Of Ameri-
cans, commonly known as the hustler,
but on the contrary he is quiet and
rapid worker. always steady and cool
headed possessing limitleSs tact and
with a tireless energy which makes
him capable off disratchng n great
amount of business in a day. The
statement that he is without experience
i'm campaign management is true only
as far as actual open participation in
campaigns Is concerned. for man who
has held confidential positions under
three Presidents cannot possibly be a
novice in this matter. On the contrary,
there are few men living who know
men in this country as intimately as
he does.
As private secretary to Presidents
Cleveland. Mckinley and Roosevelt. he
has seen the country from end to end,
has known the leaders of both great
parties under the most intimate rela-
tions and has learned practical politics
i'm n way that will be of vast help to
him as national chairman. Moreover,
| the same thing was said against Mr..
Hanna when he took charge of the Nc
Kinley campaign in 1896. He had had
no experience as n compaign manager.
but the country soon learned that he
| was without a superior in the business.
new position with much more political
experience than Mr.. Hanna ever had.
and those who doubt his political tall
ents may rest easily in their minds. Mr..
Cmtelyou is not, and never will be. 4
political boss in the offensive sense
of the term. but he knows national af-
fairs and national leaders from A to z,

the history Of American politics. and is
close, personal friend of the head of

Some have intimated that Mr.. Cortel-

IN nresent a united and vigorous front
to the common enemy.
Hon. william T. Cobb. who will lead
the Republicans of Maine to rousing
victory in September. needs no intro
duction to the people of this State. He
is not only an absolutely clean man in
all the relations of life, but he is also
| a man Of marked abilities and at
tainments. Those who know him best
respect and admire him most. He Is
man of broad spirit, and the courteous
and tolerant manner in which he con-
Quoted his canvass was in every way
characteristic of the man. His uniform
fairness won him not only warm sup
porters for his own candidacy, but
gained him the respect and confidence
Of the strong men who were supporting
his competitors From start to finish no
harsh or unkindi word fell from his lips
and now that a convention of repre-
sentative Republicans has decided in
his favor he will have behind him in the
coming campaign a united and loyal
party. He respected his opponents and
they in turn respected him. The only
men in politics who come out of a con-
test like the one waged in yesterdays
convention without such respect are
those who lack the courage of their con-
victions and men of that stamp were
not in evidence at Bangor.
1t is we'll that differences of opinion
should be fought out fully and fairly
in party councils. Such contests clear
the atmosphere and leave the party
stronger. When, however, the people,
through their chosen representatives.
have rendered their verdict, the result
has never failed to be Loyalty accepted,
and the lines closed up for the campaign
against the common enemy.
1t will be the privilege of Maine Re-
publicans, this year, to fire one of the
opening guns in a great Presidential
campaign. Under Republican rule, with
the Dingley tariff law in force, the peo-
pic of this country have prospered as
never before in their history. Not on
ly has our home market reached it's
highest power for consumption, but our
exports have attained colossal proper
tions. All classes of our citizens have
shared in this prosperity and all of
them should do their share in helping
to secure it's permanence by supporting
the Republican party. Yesterdays
rous,ng and enthusiastic convention
makes it certain that the word which
goes forth from Maine on the night of
our September election will be such as
will give encoura cement and cheer to
the supporters of Roosevelt and Fair
banks all over the country.

His father and grandfather were Re
publicans before him. and he has never
failed to vote the Republican ticket
since he reached his majority. Both
his brothers are active workers in the
party, and his grandfather was one of
the founders of the party and a close
associate of Horace Greeley, Thurlow
Weed and other great leaders of those
early days. He is Republican, not
only>by inheritance, but a thorough
study of public questions has in
trenched him more firmly in his belief
in Republican doctrines. He first en-
tered politics as a vigorous worker in
the Blaine campaign. After entering
the federal service, he resigned in 1887.
and again in 1893. when the Democratic
party came into control, but in the lat
ter instance his resignation was re-
fused and at the earnest request Of his
new superior he retained his place. AL
ready Mr.. Cortelyou has made it evil
dent that he and he alone Is the head of
the national organiza ton, and there is
not the slightest doubt that he will
prove as successful in this position as
he has in the others he has filled. Mr..
Cortelyou is still q young man and
may yet fill higher places in his coun-
trys service.

Again the call for help comes from the
great wheat fields of Kansas and Okla
hOma. Again We get stories of the
tramps being pressed into Involuntary
service and of the special induce
ments offered labOrers at a great
distance. Probably the desperate
farmers will be soon holding up
the trains as Of old and forcing
the travelrs to help the harvest
the wheat. There are at all times
thousands of honest men out of
employment, in all our large cities, and
it seems great pity that they cannot
be at this time, where there is such a
need of their services. In the East,
moreover, as well as in the West. there
is great scarcity of farm help and in
this section the farmers are finding it
difficult to secure men to work during
the haying season. Wages are offered
which would have seemed almost fabu-
lous a few years ago and Yet laborers
are not to be obtained.
