THE EFFECT OF NAMES VOTE ON THE
NATIONAL CAMPAIGN.

lTOItihuu E4pEeeSJ
In the September election Mr.. Cobb
stands for President Roosevelt, and Re-
publicans everywhere should bear this
in mind. They should note the desire Of
the Democrats to avoid national issues
here, and to place the campaign discus
sion upon state issues. The Republicans
are perfectly willing to meet the Democ-
racy upon state issues, and the cam
paign will not see them Sinking a dis
cussion of the merits of our case before
the people, or the fitness of our candi-
dates for the positions for which they
are nominated, but beyond and above
all is to be kept in mind the Importance
of registering every possible vote for the
head of the ticket, in order that the
great country may know that the Repub.
licans of Maine mean what they say
when they endorse the administration
and candidacy of Theodore Roosevelt.

ONLY A MASK.

Many are not being benefited by the
summer vacation as they should be.
Now, Notwithstanding much outdoor
life, they are little if any stronger than
they were. The tan on their faces is
darker and makes them look healthier,
but it is only mask. They are still
nervous, easily tired, upset by tribes,
and they do not eat nor sleep well.
What they need is what tones the nerves,
perfects digestion, creates appetite,
and makes sleep refreshing, and that is
Hoods Sarsaparilla. Pupils and teach
ers generally will find the chief purpose
of the vacation best subserved by this
great medicine, which, as we know,
"builds up the whole system"

"wILL 1T PAY TO COP"

That is the other question which l
have been kept busy answering. Briefly,
If you don't particularly care about 1t,
no. But If you really want to see the
fair, and can spare what 1t costs, 1t is
worth your while. II you have seen one
of the other great expeditions, you will
find much interest in comparison with
this. If you have never before seen
great exposition, this will be really a
revelation to you, and your visit to it
will be one of the bright spots that will
never be blotted out Of your memory.
1t is likely to be good many years, if
not generation, before another man.
moth exposition Is seen in this country.
As some have expressed 1t, 1.-THE exposi-
ton business Is getting played out" In
other words, the expense is enormous,
estimated in the case of the st. Louis
probably with fair degree
of accuracy, at $50, 000, 900 for the fair
alone, exclusive of the amount spent by
visitors. While the material, CONNER
cial and educational advantages of the
fair are great, it is seriously questioned
they more than balance the
cost, and 1t il doubtful If congress,
which has to provide for quite frac-
lion of the expense, will be inclined to
look with favor upon any worlds fair
proposition in the near future. The st.
Louis fair ie likely to remain without
