Watterson's Picture of Parker.

Henry Watterson, editor of the
Courier-J ournal, Kentucky's great
est newspaper, says:
GA gentleman, simple, unaffect-
ed gentleman, blue-eYed, red-haired,
brainy and brawny: not quite so tall
as Jefferson, nor so short as Tilden,
but enough to give Democracy as
surance of a man. If every voter
of the United States could meet
Judge Parker, he would get three
fourths of them. EnphaticalIy, he
is the man we have been looking
for, decidedly the man wanted in
the White House.
s'In the first place, there Is no
nonsense about him. He is as plain
and unpretending as an old shoe,
and he fits like one and wears like
one. An eminent jurist undoubted-
ly-the Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court of the Empire State of New
York could be none other-versed
in the law, morally a bedrock of
sober counsels, Intellectually a very
lighthouse of lucidity and learning.
Yea, and Democrat-a Democrat
of the school of Jefferson and Jack
son and Tilden."

CONGRESSMAN PAT T E R S o N
PLEADS ELOQUENTLY FOR
DEMOCRACY.

Hon. Malcolm h. Patter-
son, member of Congress
from the Tenth District,
spoke in the courthouse at
Bolivar Monday. He arrived
on the morning train from the
south and was met at the de-
pot by party Of friends, who
escorted him to the Bolivar
Hotel, where his rooms were
crowded by stream of call
ers until the hour of speak
ing, II o'clock.
Quarterly Court was in
session, but through courtesy
to the distinguished gentle
man, a recess Of two hours
was taken.
Mr.. Patterson was intro
duced by Hon. James W.
Jones, congressional commit
teeman of Hardeman
County. The building was
packed with representative
men from every district in
the county, and quite num-
Der of ladies honored the
occasion by their presence.
This was Mr.. Patterson's
first appearance in Hardeman
since his denomination, and
he took advantage of the
occasion to return thanks for
the honor, stating that he
had attempted to carry out
the wishes of his constituents.
His speech was devoted al
most entirely to national is
sues, the tariff and trusts, and
to Roosevelt. With telling eff
feet he laid the lash to the
republican party, which he
said was a party ofspoils and
loot and not party Of prin-
cipIe; a party that believed
in the dollar and not in the
man; a party of broken prom
ises, which legislated for the
few against the many; a par
ty which clothed the negro
with the elective franchise
thereby committing one Of
the greatest crimes Of the
age; a party of reckless ex-
travagance, with a dangerous,
inconsistent, insincere, un=
dignified leader, who was not
only suspicious of his fellow
man, but a BLACKBOARD, total
ly untitled for the honorable
and exalted position of presi-
dent.
The large audience follow
ed closely the brilliant and
graceful speaker and ap-
plauded him literally.
Mr.. Patterson is popular in
Hardeman. His speech fired
the democratic heart and his
numerous friends and adj
mirers hope to hear his elo-
quent voice again before the
campaign closes.

The annual draft to secure some
Democrat to run for the gOvernOrship
of Maine on the Democratic ticket has
been executed, with the evasions as
numerous and vigorous as usual In
Maine as in many other northern
states, where the party is in the
minority. Democrat, after the custom
introduced in war times. wishes to hire
a substitute to go down to defeat in
the political fight rather than to go
through the danger himself.-Boston
Advertiser.
And this is all the reward, outside of
the thanks of his hungry own devoted
followers, which a Maine Democratic
statesman gets for opening his heart
and his barrel and becoming a living
sacrifice upon the altar. However. the
situation is not as bad as the Adver-
tiser makes out, for in Maine the draft
is not an annual one as it is in Massa-
chusetts, but comes only every other
year.

Rules for Hot Weather.

Rules for hot weather, are due at this
time, and here are some which VIII
prove of much value to the readers of
the Journal if they are faithfully fol-
lowed. They are clipped from an ex-
change because it was less heating
work to clip them than to think up an
other set of rules which would doubt
le So be of less value 1t will be well to
read these rules on the morning of
each day that promises to be hot and
then to devote the day to following
them out. even if other things have to
be neglected. AS usual the rules con-
sist largely of ''don'ts."
Don't hurry. Don't become excited.
Don't take politics too seriously. Don't
start in and do all the odd jobs around
the house which you have put off for
the last six weeks. If you attend the
bali game don't get worked up over the
close decisions Of the umpire. The
heat has doubtless affected his brain.
Don't carry fan with you. Take
plenty of time to eat, ana do not eat
while overheatrd. Don't worry over
the tailors bill. Nobody pays the
| tailor in hot weather. He doesn't ex-
| poet it. Do not think that cold baths
| and cold drinks are palliatives Of heat
| They act in the opposite way. Take a
| warm bath daily. or twice a day
! Leave ice out of your drinks. Better
also curtail the cocktails and eliminate
drinks too alcoholic.
Take things easy. Let business e
hang rather than worry over it. Dom
run for the car. Don't brood on thu
lack of activity in the stock market
Don't worry over the high price O
meat. Vegetables are far better in no
weather. Don't go visiting where yo,
do not feel free to take off your coat
Above all things. do not complain
about this climate. You might g.
around the world without finding it

tionai summer in the mildness of III
disposition. Since the first of jun
there have been 1O2 degrees Of heat les
than the normal temperature. Las
summer hot weather was PRACTICAL.
unknown Day after day the maxi
mum temperature was less than Z
degrees. If a person observe a fey
precautions he need not suffer fror
the torrid weather. The best plan !

Aboljshinu Grade Crossings.


The matter Of the adjustment Of the
dangerous Rines hill crossing in this
city, which is again being agitated as
it should be, suggests how differently
the division of the cost Of such abo-
litions is regarded in different states.
In Massachusetts, for instance. there is
an annual state appropriation OF
s5OO, 600 for the abolition of grade
crossings, and systematic and con-
tinucus work is carried on to rid
the State Of all such danger
SPOTS. Whenever such a crossing IL
abolished in Massachusetts, the rail-
road il assessed for IS per cent OF the
cost of the change, the town or Guy
for 10 per cent, while the State pays
the remaining % per cent the STATE
acts upon the theory that the protec-
tion of the lives Of it's people IS one VI
its first duties, and that 1t would De
unjust to place the burden OF 'ie
change wholly upon the transportation
comnany and the municipality Directly
affected The town or city gets oi'
very easily there.
A totally different view from tha'
" hich governs the action of Massachu-
sets is evidently held by Governor
Odell of New York. who recently vetoed
a bill providing for the abolition OF
certain dangerous crossings at grades
where the percentage Of the expense
vas To he horne by the State. Gov
ernor OdelIs objection was not merely
to the participation of the State in the
adjustment of this particular crossing.
but was on the broader ground that no
state should pay one cent from its
treasury for work of this kind.
Here in Maine. as in New York. the
cost of abolishing grade crossings is
divided between the transportation
companies and the municipalities. No
part is paid from the State treasury.
nor so far as can be recalled. has any
effort ever been made to have a law
provided for such part payment by the
State. The parties usually agree upon
the proportionate expense to be borne
ty each and in case they fail to agree,
the railroad commissioners have the
deciding voice. This is the prevailing
rule in most of the states and Massa-
chusetts with it's State appropriations
is an exception. Grade crossings are
both inconveniences to steam and cleo
trio roads and are dangerous to the
people who pass over them, and their
adjustment in great centers of popu-
lation has long been going on. The
movement is certain to continue be-
cause. even in cities no larger than our
own, such crossings are a constant
menace to public safety and are a
nuisance which cannot be permanently
endured.

The decoration of Secretary Hay by
the French government with the grand
cross of Legion of Honor is the highest
compliment which that government
can pay the great American diplomat.
and 1t is expressly stated that the
decoration is made in recognition of the
valuable services of Mr.. Hay in help
ing maintain the peace of the world.
Since Mr.. Hay is in immediate charge
of the administrations foreign policy.
this action of the French government
rather takes the wind out of the sails

form builders who are bowling the
great alarm against the ''warlike for
eign policy of President Roosevelt.

Sewall Haywood, well known ousi-

which is attracting attention among
his friends. 1t is of the common slate
variety Of Maine and weighs some 10
pounds. It was found on a farm IN
Newberry neck. a part Of the town OF
Surry, Hancock county, recently. ana
was given to Mr.. Haywood by Hosea Is.
Wardwell of Penobscot. What makes
the rock interesting is the fact that one
side of it is covered with markings.
There is one inscription which, as near
as can be made out. is A. u. lo44.
There are other markings of letters and
figures sufficient to cover the entire
surface of that side Of the rock. The
date is 16 years after the settlement OF
Castine and it is supposed that the rock
was used by the first settlers on the
neck to mark land boundaries.
