We do not believe that a candidate
for an elective office adds to his strength
by personal abuse or detraction of his
opponents, particularly when they are
honorable men, with records at least as
good as his own and equally entitled to
public confidence. 1t is dirty bird
that fouls its own nest. What is said
of the candidate is equally true of the
party newspaper. If one candidate is
preferred to another it is easy to give
voice to that choice without INDUCING
in detraction and Misrepresentation of
others. In fact, opposing party organs
rarely resort nowadays to that method
of campaigning, which is generally con-
demned by an enlightened public senti-
ment. We regret to see that one Maine
newspaper has overstepped the bounds
not alone of courtesy but of common
decency. The gubernatorial campaign
supplement of the Lewiston Journal
might have been issued by a Demo-
cratic newspaper Of half century ago.
1t is an offense to the party the Lewis
ton Journal processes to represent and
will prove a boomerang to the candi-
date in whose interest it is ostensibly
issued.

One of the most effective weapons
used by the demagogue is the matter
of public expenditures. The cry of ex-
travagance appeals to the uniformed
and the unthinking, and it is hard to
convince them that the expenditures
they condemn are necessary and in &C
cord with the public demand. They
could perhaps be brought to realizing
sense Of their error by a wholesale re-
duction of appropriations, but that
would involve dearly bought expert
ence. Suppose State, city or town
should limit it's expenditures to the
amount required say twenty-five years
ago; and what would be the result? The
usefulness of the schools would be i'm
paired, the insane and all benefciaries
of public charities would suffer- roads
and walks would be neglected, and the
people would be deprived of the many
adjuncts of modern civilization. Any
successful business man will tell you
that his expenses have largely increased
year by year. He employs more help,
pays them more, and is called upon to
make many expenditures undreamed of
in the past Take the modern grocery
store, with its delivery teams, its tele-
phone, its type writer, its cash register,
its handsome show cases, its refrigera-
tor, and the countless other appliances
and conveniences now in use, and let it
return to the standard of the old corner
grocery, and how long would it be be-
fore the sheriff steps in and there is a
bankrupt sale. The conditions are the
same in the Nation, the State, the cities
and the towns. The very people who
are loudest in their call for reduction
in public expenditures are often the
most insistent in their demands for the
public Improvements that cannot be
had without such expenditures. A gen.
teman who served in the legislature
with Hon. Bert M. Fernald, the Lewis
ton Journals candidate for governor,
tells US that Mr.. Fernald voted for
every appropriation made, knowing
them to be proper and necessary; and
now as a candidate he is endeavoring
to get votes by stultifying his former
action. The Journal is not defending
extravaganza in appropriations or ex-
penditures. 1t simply recognizes the
fact that conditions have changed and
are changing; that private as we'll as
public expenditures are increasing, and
can no more be summary reduced than
the advancing march of civilization can
be checked.

Against Trading Stamps.

Among the bills signed by the Governor
of New York last week was the Newcomh
Anti Trading Stamp bill. 1t was frankly
admitted in the legislature that this measure
was intended radically to curtail the trad
ing stamp business as carried on in New
York. The trading stamp companies fought
it to the last day Of the session and before
the Governor. It requires every trading
stamp, except those issued by individual
merchants or manufacturers. to bear q
be redeemable in cash or merchandise at
the option of the holder.
The Massachusetts House May 18th
passed a bill imposing an excise tax Of three
per cent on the gross receipts of concerns
using trading stamps. This is practically
prohibitory,

BELFAST, MAINE.

BELFAST, MAINE.
Dear Sir: "Three-quarter paint" is a
good phrase for the best outside Of Devoe.
Devoe is the standard; mark it 100. The
next-best- there are several not far apart
are three-quarter paints; you may mark
them 70 to Devoe's 100.
The bulk of the paints in market are 40
or 50 or 60, few are better than 60; few
are worse than 49,
How do they act? They cover from one
to three-quarters as much as Devoe; and
they last from one to three-quarters as long
as Devoe
What are they worth? The same rule
don't hold; it costs more to put-on some
worth anything the ''put-on'' costs two or
three times as much as the paint
Yours truly,

DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVENTION.

A Democratic State Convention will be
held in City Hall, Waterville, Thursday,
July IA, 1904, at II a. m. for the purpose of
nominating candidate for Governor, and
selecting six candidates for Electors of
President and Vice President of the United
States, and the transacting of any other
business that may properly come before it.
The basis of representation will be as fol-
lows:
Each City, Town and Plantation will be
entitled to one delegate, and for each fifty
votes cast for the Democratic candidate for
Governor in 1900, one additional delegate;
and for fraction of thirty votes in excess
of fifty votes an additional delegate
Vacancies in any delegation can be filled
only by resident of the County in which
the vacancy exists.
The State Committee will be in session in
the reception room of the hall at O'Clock
on the morning of the Convention to receive
the credentials of delegates.
All Democratic conservative citizens of
Maine, who believe that the State should be
governed in a more economical manner,
and cessation made of the present method
of sQuandering the peoples money, are cor
daily invited to unite under this call in
electing delegates to this Convention.

ever known in this city. Last year, the
first after three years of Democratic
assessing, the rate was $2.10. The three

When we announced the tax rate in
Belfast year or two ago-the lowest
then and probably the lowest now of
any city in the State-some of our ex-
changes expressed doubt as to whether
we could have the public conveniences
and necessities now demanded. A low
tax rate may be dearly bought. 1t is
generally admitted that nothing, unless
it is the schools, adds more to the value
CT town or city as place of residence
than good roads. If the roads are neg
lected to secure a low tax rate it will
be more than offset by the depreciation
of real estate. If the schools are for
the same reason dealt with in mig
gardly manner, those looking for homes
where their children can have modern
educational advantages will pass the
place by. But if good schools, good
roads, an abundant water supply, well
lighted streets and other modern con-
veniences can be had with low tax
rate the town or city which attains
this ideal condition is assured pros
porous future.

The editor of the Belfast Republican
Journal is SO disguised with the condl-
ton of things in his city that he pro-
nounces prohibition farce, and a IL
c .nse paper takes the matter up and
says, ''Of course it's farce ''-Piscata-
quis Observer
The Journal has never pronounced
prohibition farce: or said anything
that could possibly be so construed. 1t
was the method of its Enforcement, not
the law, which The Journal pronounced
farce, and it gave the facts to sub
stantiate the statement. The Observer
must have got its text from the license
paper and not from the columns of
The Journal, or it would not have
given currency to SO gross a misrepre-
sentation Of the attitude of this paper.
1t is much to be regretted that lit
tie difficulty in one of our public schools
should have been magnifed and dis
torted in reports that have gone abroad.
Those who know the writer of these
reports will readily acquit him of in
territorial wrong; but he was unfortu-
nate in his source of information and
unwittingly did great injustice to the
teachers, the parents, the pupils and
the public. The trouble was one not
unusual in school life, and if left, as it
should be, to those Immediately con-
cerned, is easily settled and leaves no
i'll feelings. AS the incident is now
happily closed it is not advisable to dis
cuss it in detail, but justice to all con-
cerned demands this general protest
against the statements sent abroad,
which, to say the least, were injudicious
and harmful.

hand labor. For illustration we will
take short section of road which was
graveled last year and had not been
materially affected by frost. snow or
rain. Half an hours work with hoe
would have left it in fine condition.
The road machine went over it and on
one side scooped out second gutter
and left heavy ruts down which the
subsequent rain poured in torrents,
washing away the earth as it went. The
mud and decayed leaves from the gut
tiers was left in ridge in the middle OF
the road, through which one had to
wade in crossing the street. When dry
this ridge of mud will turn to dust and
blow away. To sum up, section OF
street which was in good condition was
cut up so that it washed badly and was
left in the worst possible shape by the
use of the road machine. What is true
of this section can no doubt be said OF
many others, and the city pays for six
horses and nearly as many men to do
this destructive work.
