The Life That Counts.

The life that counts must toll and fight;
Must hate the wrong and love the right;
Must stand for truth. by day. by night
And this the life that counts.
The life that counts must aim to rise
Above the earth. to sunlit skies;
Must fix its gaze on Paradise
And this the life that counts.
The life that counts must hopeful be;
In darkest night make melody;
Must wait the dawn on Bonded knee
And this the life that counts.
The life that counts must helpful be;
The cares and needs of others see.
Must seek the slave of sin to free
And this the life that counts.
The life that counts is linked with God,
And turns not from the cross. the rod;
But walks with JOY where Jesus trod-
Ard this Toe life that counts

To Promote Agriculture.

The movement to secure an ag-
ricultural education through the
public schools of the country is
steadily increasing and from time
to time manifests itself through UNI
usual channels. At the recent con-
vention of the Travellers Protect
i've association at Springville, H.,
addresses were made on this sub
ject and the association voted to
present the matter before the Nat
ional Educational association at its
coming annual convention at St.
Louis.
The Travellers association passed
comprehensive resolution setting
forth that the stability of our Sc
cial and business conditions and
the prevention of recurring periods
of trade depression require that the
balance of our population should
be maintained on the land as in
dependent home owners and pro-
ducers from the soil and that WAYS
should be found and carried out
for placing upon the land all un-
employed labor and Transforming
every "out-of-work" into the owner
of home on the land from which
he can at all times get a comfort
able living with his own labor
1t was set forth that the entire
American educational system
should be so remodeled as to IN
duce every child to be lover of
nature and of the country and to
train him toward the land as
source of livelihood rather than
away from it; that children should |
be taught to farm as they are now
taught in France and Denmark in |
the public schools and that farm
training schools should be estab-
lished by county, municipal, state
and national governments.
The resolution further called at
tention to the great remaining pub
lie domain in the west as by far the
most valuable asset of this nation
which VIII furnish an outlet for
our surplus labor during this and
coming generations, urging that it
be reserved for real homebuilders
who will farm it in small tracts.
The association appointed per-
committee on education,
irrigation, forestry and land, with
member from each state and terri
tory to carry out the idea of this
resolution.

is NAMES ELECTION DAY.
The Result Is Watched With Great
Interest Throughout
The Country.

Portland, Me-. Sept. l2.-Today's
election in this state is watched with
much interest by politicians through
out the country, and the result of the
election is taken as an indication of
the way public sentiment is inclined
in the present national campaign. In
view of these conditions both parties
have put forth their utmost efforts TO
make the best possible showing at the
polls today.
During the last few weeks both ma
tional committees have sent into the
state orators of national prominence
The Democrats have had Mayor Nc
Clellan and other leaders of wide rep
utation, while the Republicans have
had as their principal speakers Senator
Fairbanks and Secretary Taft. The
Republican candidate for Governor is
William Il. Cobb, of Rockland, and
the Democratic candidate is Mayor
Cyrus w. Davis. of Waterville Local
issues have figured 60 some extent,
but the importance of the bearing
which the result in Maine might have
on the rest of the country has been
the chief theme of both Republican
and Democratic orators from the out
side.
In 1895 Mchlnley's plurality in the
state was 45, M, and in 1900 it was
"a, 1872. The Republican plurality on
the Governorship in 1902 was %, 490
The Republicans admit that they
hardly expect their plurality in to-
days election to reach the figures that
Mckinley had in either of his cam
paigns. They say they will be salts
fed with a plurality of 20, 600. They
admit that if the Republican plurality
should fall far below that figure the
result might we'll be taken as indica-
ting drift toward the Democracy. In
addition to the governorship contest
there is much interest just now in the
fights in severalsof the congressional
districts. The Democrats are out for
the scalp of Llewellyn Powers, repre-
senting the Fourth district as the sue
cessor to Charles A. Boutelle. They
profess to believe that they can over
come Mr.. Powers majority of nearly
5000 in 1902 and capture the district.
