Straight Republicans.

portland PreSS.)
What Is wanted this political year is
straight Republicanism in city. county
State and nation. Every Republican vote
Is vote for Theodore Roosevelt. Maine
leads off among all the states. and it is
desirable that she give the ticket a ma
iority which will stand throughout the
country as a record to be used as an ex-
ample. A report from the eastern part of
the State says that there is lack of i'm
terest in the country towns on account
Of the assurances of a Republican vic
tory. In Cumberland county. though the
assurances are no less sure than else
where. the county committee Is going at
the work of the campaign as if there
were defeat at stake. Even with success
in sight the committee will cover the
country with Republican enthusiasm and
Will see to it that not single degree of
apathy is allowed to influence the result
or reduct the size of the majority in this
section. Throughout Maine there is this
desire that the vote of the State be as
large as possible. There are side issues
as usual and the usual opposition. But
this is a RoCsevelt-Republican year. and
no Republican will lose his ballot in such
Il cause.

The Charges Refuted.

(bdtH lIueS-D
Hon. Cyrus w. Davis, the Democratic
candidate for Governor, has raised the is
sue of extravaganza, alleging that the
Republican Legislatures of the past quar-
ter of a century have been rioting with
the peoples money. Nothing could be
more wrong and only a simple statement
of facts and figures is necessary to refute
the charge. These appear in the cam
paign supplement- which should be read
carefully through by every voter, The
fact that the State debt has been reduced
from nearly nine to less than four mil
lions in the last 20 years, and that in the
same period the State tax rate has been
nearly halved, is prma facie evidence
that the Davis charges are somewhat
public attention from the real issue Of
the campaign-the rum shop. The tnan-
cial issue and the rum issue and all OF
the other questions pertinent to the cam
paign are fully discussed in the supple
ment, which we once more commend to
the thoughtful peruSal of all citizens.

sue Is the real one. the bugabOo of in
creased State expenditures serving as a
stalking-hourse in an attempt to capture
the desired game. The charge of the
Democratic newspapers that State ex-
penditureS have Increased 800 per cent.
In the last q years is shown to be a piece
of Democratic deception when brought
to the test of actual figures. which show
an actual increase in expenditures of not
over IL per cent. for this period. In re-
democratic charge that the increase
comes on the small farming towns falls
nat in view of the table which shows
that the growth and prosperity of 80
cities and Industrial centers are RESPONSE
bic for this increase. Maine's gain in
valuation from 1890 to 1902 was $43, 132, $50
The table to which reference Is made
gives these 3S cities and Industrial centers
credit for $50. 263, ,573 of this increase The
increase of $6,71S726 in the valuation of
wild lands accounts for all but $l5O6l7 of
the remainder. This certainly does not

Barefaced and Unblushing.
, (Portland Advertiser.)

-
About two weeks ago the Portland
Press presented figures quoted from an
official communication of the Stale treas
urer to the Maine Legislature which eff
fectively and conclusively disproved the
Sentinels contention that the expendi-
,uie. uI tue state or Maine have IN
creased 800 per cent. in 20 years. About
the same time the Advertiser out of the
mouth of Hon. Cyrus w. Davis himself,
the proprietor of the Sentinel and Demo-
cratic candidate for Governor of Maine.
showed that the Sentinels position on the
valuation question is unSound and unten-
able. Mr.. Davis speech, delivered in the
House of Representatives at Augusta, in
the discussion before that body of a
pending measure, coincided fully with the
position maintained by the Advertiser and
by the Republican party and squarely
contIoTeI tea mat nov taken by mas own
paper and by the Democratic party. The
Sentinel has never noticed these argu-
ments in its columns and for very good
reasons. The Republican press of the
State. in fact, thus early in the cam
paign has effectively demolished the Sen
tineIs house Of cards and Its bare-faced
claim that its arguments have gone un-
answered and not disproved is on a
parallel with the unblushing effrOntery
that has characterized it's whole conduct
OF the discussion.

New CARBON Componnd.

AT recent meeting of the Academy
of Sciences Of France, held at Paris, M.
Henri Moissan presented paper con
corning the preparation and charac-
teristics of new carbon compound
containing molybdenum. This COM
pound is obtained by heating charcoal
with melted molybdenum and alum
mum in an electric furnace. The re-
sultant metallic mass is treated with
a concentrated solution OF potash, and
needles of well defined crystals of the
new carbon compound are obtained.
The substance is very hard, is hard
" attacked by acids other than nitric,
and is not decomposed by water or
steam at temperature below 600 de-
grees G. 1t resembles the carburet
Of tungsten, already known. which is
not considered surprising, as the met
ais tungsten and molybdenur are
much alike. 1t is thought that this new
compound may play rclc in rlolyb-
denum steels.
The method Of preparation shows
that even at rather high temperature
Chat of boiling aluminurn) moIyb-
denum compound is obtained which
contains twice as much carbon as the
compounds formed the highest heat
obtainable in the electric furnace
