Whitaker received puilet in the chest and one in the chin while Campbell was shot in the pack There was no clue. Both of the negroes were working in the mines at Sayre, inst ont of the strike district.
 Employes Got Turkey.

Almost all of the employees are negroes. The men called the president of the plant. Mir. Fredrick Dimmick, to the front and presented him with a handsome diamond ring, as a token of appreciation. The pre- sentation speech was made by Mir James Bowron. one of the directors in the company. Inasmuch as almost all the contributors to the fund for the ring were negroes 1t demonstrates the feeling between employer and empleye of this large corporation.

The ST. Adams Messenger in a recent
editorial SAYS -
Every town representative should
pledge himself to stand on the republican
state platform"
The contemporary has ever boosted in
the advocacy Of the rights of individual
convictions and expression. May not a
man be a consistent republican and still
believe that party platform is not in
every detail as true as gospel: An
honest man need not Of necessity advo-
cate an idea simply because another man
has made it plank in political plat
form. Sometimes majorities even are
not in the right from a truly high moral
standpoint. Representatives are the
servants of the people, and their obliga-
tions are not limited to the wishes OF
prediction conventions.

Appreciation.

The Grand Trunk Railway System are
in receipt of a letter from Mr.. f. c.
Bowler, of Bethel, Me-, who organized
and conducted a party of sixty-four peo-
pie from Maine to the Worlds Fair
during the month OF June, an abstract
of which is here given:
Il desire to express my appreciation
of all that your people did. for me and
my party of sixty-four people on our
recent trip to St. Louis. Everything
was decidedly pleasing from start to
finish. The service was excellent; We
were always treated with marked>courte-
sy, and everything was done that could
be done to make our trip All enjoyable
one.
Certainly the sideattractions afforded
by your road are unequalled by those of
any other route between Maine and St.
Louis, and it was the unanimous senti-
ments of my party that the trip with its
side attractions was enjoyed fully as
much as the Fair itself.
"When | organized this party for the
benefit of the teachers and few friends.
| did not have the slightest idea of
arranging another trip, but the absolute
pleasure which has come to me from the
expressed satisfaction of those sixty-four
people, together with the food of in
quiries regarding other trips which have
come from their friends, who have been
enthused by their glowing reports upon
their return, has led me to take another
party. The second party will leave
Portland on Monday, September 10Th,
over precisely the same route as before,
spending a day at Montreal. with car
riages about the city and up Mount
Royal; day at Niagara Falls, with
Great Gorge ride, Incline Railway, Maid
of the Mist, and carriages; day at
Chicago, with automobile rides; and
five days at st. Louis"

is power, aud equal knowledge gained
BY both sides could alone give the best
results. We have TO assume a great
deal in order to concur in the present
system. Considering the power vested
in the house Of representatives, no posi-
be harm could be done if a president
was elected at the outset for eight ye~s,
with the possibility of reelection if his
work warranted this expression Of ap-
prevail at the hands of the people.
Doubtless such proposition would be
fought tooth and nail by the several
strong men 10 both paftis; such oppO-
sition would be the strongest argument
IN favor of this bctterment of our sys.

triotism could alone actuate them.
1t is both natural and laudable for 4

presidency of this great country to desir'
to distinguish himself among t8s ruler'
of all nations; he of course realizes tht
impossibility OF self development in fou

Mexico extending the term OF the

which official has not previously ex-
listed under the Mexican law,
BY taking advantage of this new
enactment President Dilz hopes to
be able TO put in as vice president a
man in whom he has confidence and
who viii thus be trained TO assume
the superior duties OF president when
Diaz is no longer able to perform
them.
Mexico is nomlnally republic with
form OF government patterned after
our own, but it is in reality liberal
despotism, and the future OF the coun-
try depends very largely upon the
ability OF President Diaz to find a
successor who is competent TO carry
on his work along the lines that he
