No one desires to make an attack upon
railroads or to cripple them. All acknowl-
edge their value. The railroads are es-
sential, but they should not be permitted
to become a monopoly. They must be
made to deal fairly with the people. They
must be regulated, and there is no better
method than by giving the power sought
to the interstate commerce commission.
Regulation the Thing.
You cannot disguise the fact. It is
either government ownership or govern
ment regulation. We do not want the for
mer, we must have the latter.
This is a fight between the people on
one side and the railroads on the other.
The people have the remedy In their own
hands; they should demand that their
representatives in congress should vote

II is interesting to note the spirit in
which the Southern papers comment
upon the passage in President Roose-
velt's Memorial day address at Gettys-
burg. in which, he declared that the
Civil War was one of those rare con-
tests in which it was immeasurably to
the interest of the vanquished that they
should lose" The Southern editors and
the people of the South in general now
realize the truth of this, ana there are
probably few people in that section who
would bring back the old South with its
slavery, could such Il thing be done.
The South. with free labor is much
more prosperous than it ever was be-
for the war, or ever could have become
under the old conditions. The SoEth
has a right to be proud of the bravery
and endurance of its soldiers In the
Civil War. and it is not Inconsistent
with this spirit for 1t to be glad that
the armies of the North were victors
and that the Union remains whole for
ever.

The Riqhts of CITIZENSHIP.

The Portland Express names several
State officials who have been guilty of
being elected delegates to the Bangor
State convention in their respective
towns, and two others who are "parti-
sans" of Mr.. Cobb! 1t says the list
of officials who are interesting them
selves in the present canvass
might be heightened and so, doubtless
1t might. 1t could for instance include
the officials of the Portland Custom
Housewife it's enormous patronage
and several prominent State officials
who are exceedingly active in their Op-
position to Mr.. Cobb-but it doesn't.
If it did. what good would it do? The
people of Maine are an intelligent and
a tolerant race. They have no desire
to deprive a man of the fundamental
rights of citizenship on the ground that
he has forfeited them by holding a
political office. This has never been
the spirit of our State in the past, and
we do not apprchcnd that it will ever
be the spirit of our State in the future.
Certainly Mr.. Cobb and his friends
have not sought any such infringement
of personal rights. They have recog-
nized the absolute right of every voter
in Maine-in office or QUITO support
the candidate Of his choice, and TO give
that support the weight of any per-
sonal influence he may possess. They
have no word of fault or criticism for
Federal and State officials in western
Maine who are opposing Mr.. Cobb. 1t
is the plain right of such officials to
support any candidate they choose.
While Mr.. Cobbs friends would like Of
course to see them with him, they do
not question their plain right to support
his opponents if such is their prefer
ence. What is true of officials in the
western section of the State. is equally
true of those in the central and east
ern sections of the State. The PROPOSE
ton will strike the fair-minded citi-
zen as being about as broad as it is
long.
The Kennebec Journal has never yet
sought to advance any cause to which
it has been committed by questioning
any mans right to exercise the privi-
leges of citizenship. We have recog-
nized the fact that such course
would never find favor with the people
of central Maine among whom it >has
found its patrons for 70 years. We
have often urged the Importance of a
more general participation in the
primaries, and have stood ready at all
times to acquicsce cheerfully in the
verdict of the majority.
Let the canvass now in progress be
fought out ever so strenuously. but let
it be done in a spirit of tolerance. Let
it be done within party lines, and with

According to one correspondent,
whatever kind of news is received in a
Russian city from the scat of war, the
Jews are the ones to suffer. If the It'd
ings are those of a victory or rumors of
a victory, the mob proceeds to plumber
the local synagogue or the homes in
the Jewish section, as a means of cele-
bration. If the news is of a defeat and
depression settles over the place, then
the Jews are again baited a way of OK
pressing the grief and general cussed-
ness of the Russians.

There has been considerable comb
ment of late in some of the Maine pa
pers because quite a number of the
farmers we're leaving Aroostook. the
garden county, and settling on farms
in the southern part of the State. The
Pressure Isle Star-Herald says there
are three reasons for this immigration.
Some of those who are leaving Aroos-
took for the older sections of the State
are influenced by ill health and desire
to engage in lighter and less laborious,
though less remunerative methods of
farming. Some of them left because
they have secured a comfortable COM
petence from their long years of resi-
dence in Aroostook, and desire to
spend the closing years of their lives
in the town or neighborhood where
they were reared. and to which they
are attached by the ties of kindred or
earlier associations. And some of
them are influenced by the fact that
the farms in the Southern part of the
State are much cheaper than in Aroos-
took, and they believe that with the
broad-gauge and hustling style of hus-
bandry practised i'm Aroostook profit
able results can be ATTAINED upon these
older farms.

Protecting Americans Abroad.

although tHeTe Is no great popular
excitement over the predicament of Ion
Perdicaris, the American citizen who
has been kidnapped and carried into
the mountain districts of Morocco, it
is nevertheless case of much impor-
lance, and our government is justified
in the vigorous steps it is taking for
his early and safe release. There has
large enough to command attention
and to assure the natives that the
United States is in earnest. Much
mere is involved than the mere safety
of this individual merchant and every
American citizen the world over will be
safer for the prompt and aggressive
course of our government. Perdicaris
was not captured by brgands, but by
prominent chief, Raisuli, whose tribe
and village are within two or three
days of the coast, and whose authority
has been accepted and recognized by
the Moorish government. He kid
mapped this American citizen. who was
the most prominent foreigner living in
Morocco or the region about It, not SO
much for any ransom which he thought
he might get, but to demonstrate his
power and Importance and to secure
political prestige for himself and his
tribe.
1t is not like case of single bandit
or Il party of bandits kidnapping trav-
elers and hiding them away in a secret
cave. Raisuli cannot flee any more
than any other man of power and
property could flee without losing all he
cares for, and the Moorish government
is amply able to wipe him and his
tribe out of existence if it wants to. 1t
only remains for the fleet ordered to
Tangier to convince all concerned that
earnest, and that the kidnapped Amerl-
can citizen must be surrendered and
rcparation made. A firm hand in this
case is absolutely needed, and Presi-
dent Roosevelt deserves the thanks of
all good Americans at home or abroad
for the course he has insisted upon. A
resOlute stand in this matter means
everything for the safety of American
citizens who travel and do business in
the semi-civilized parts of the earth.

The kind of stuff that the late Sena.
tor Quay was made of is shown by an
incident in which he figured in the
Civil War. Although far from robust
in health, he made an enviable record
for courage and received a medal for
conspicuous gallantry at Fredericks-
burg, though he had gone into that bat
tie against the advice of his regimental
surgeon, who told him that he was a
fool to do so in his weak physical con-
dition. Il had rather die fool than
live coward" he retOrted, as he left
the surgeon and went into battle with
his regiment.
