Tho Republican Platform.

About the only criticism which we
have seen against the Republican ma
tional platform adopted at Chicago is
that il is too elaborate in it's recital of
details 1t is true that the document is
not crisp and epigramatic in it's COM
position, but the matter and not the
manner of the platform is the really
important thing. The true platform
of the party is it's record and character
and its specific promise for the future
in the nomination of President Roose-
Welt. The many great things which the
party has accomplished for the coun-
try is not only of interest to every
voter. but it is most effective as con-
vincing argument and Is something
well calculated to make the Democratic
managers sigh with envy and despair
when they come to frame platform
OF their own.
There is no greater and more ire
prolonged Republican ascendency than
the contrast between what the Repub-
leans have accomplished while in
fpower and the Democratic misrule in
the comparative short periods in which
the country has made a mistake of
trusting itself to their power. Only
Through .wiIful blindness of which it
does not seem possible the American
people will be guilty in times like these
is there any escape from the logic of
the past, so splendidly expressed in the
Republican platform and in the able
address of Secretary Root.
The record of what the Republican
has done in the past fifty years and the
narrative of what it is doing. today. I'M
der the leadership of President Roose-
Welt, are its best pledges for the future.
That record has been uncqualled and
that narrative is one in which the par
ty can confidently appeal to the people.
The party is greater than the President,
and the principles and the policies are
more than any individual, but in the
achievements of President Roosevelt,
upon which the Democratic party is
most likely to wage its campaign, the
Republicans have nothing to fear and
everything to fill them with confidence
and pride. 1t was most fitting that the
platform OF the party. in this the semi
centennial year of it's organization,
should be partly historic in character.
but i'm it's declarative part as well as in
its historical part, the platform is one
which appeals to the patriotism and
business sense of the American people.
There Is not weak plank in it. There
is nothing to explain or apologize for
before the people. 1t speaks for itself.
and with such candidates as Roosevelt
and Fairbanks to stand upon it, victory
IS assured in November.

Evidently Great Britain expects to
be at peace with it's neighbors in the
immediate future. for it's government
has just surprised everybody by re-
duoing the size of its army and max
ing consequent saving in the army
appropriation bill. Neither the reduc-
ton nor the saving is very large. but
that the fact that both are possible Is
significant and will be welcomed as a
good omen throughout the world.
France, Germany and Russia all MAIN
tain larger standing armies than that
of Great Britain, and it is not init
mated that Great Britain's reduction
indicates any general disarmament OF
any reduction by the other powers Of
Europe.

Considered with reference to it's re-
Operative effect, there is not SO much
good in the ordinary vacation as there
is in a single bottle of Hoods Sarsa-

All their sweet songs to you.
Still welcomin' the mornin

And lonely leave the nest:

Any Maine town that has an Oppor-
tunity to celebrate its centennial and
fails to do so misses an occasion of
great pleasure to those concerned and
of no little profit. AS we have said
before, if the observance accomplished
nothing more than the brushing up
and preserving of fragments of local
history, it would be worth all than it
costs and a great deal more.-Water-
vile Mail.
That is true, every word Of it, and il
is gratifying to note that each summer
finds few of our towns celebrating
their centennials. Athens. Unity and
Palermo are prominent in the list, this
year and it seems pity that the half
dozen other Maine towns which were
incorporated in 1904 are not doing the
same thing. No town can afford to let
the anniversary go by unobserved.
