The Drift to RepubIicanism.
(Leslie's Weekly

tLeSile Neekly.)
There has been a marked movement
in the past few years of the younger,
more alert and more progressive Lic =
iuent of the Democrats over to the Re
publican party. Some of this tendency
has been due to the infiuenc. of Presi-
dent Roosevelt. who is by far the mos
attractive personality who has ever
heen at the head of the Government
except Jackson. Much of it has been
caused, however. by the positive. pro-
elessiVe programme which the Repuh-
Leans have put forward and carried
out. In general the Republican party
knows what it wants. and gets it, The
average man. especially the young man
is impressed by deeds. He is attracted
to the man or the party that does
things. particularly when, as in the
case of the Republican party. the
things advance the countrys interests
and prestige. Long ago the Demo-
cratic party used to do things and
used also TO win proselytes from other
parties.
Inc drift of such old-time Demo-
Gratis as Paul Morton and Charles T.
Bonapartc to the Republican side
shows why it is that the Republicans
Tad such decisive predominance in
the election of 1904. The support of
such men. though, can be retained onlv
by deserving it. 1t is only by continu.
Ing to put up an inspiring programme
ana courageous. able and worthy lead
ers that the Republican party can
maintain its hold on the ma joritv of
the American people.

Work..

The work which presents no difficulties
to be overcome soon grows unntereSting.
There are some workers so anxious to
catch time by the forelock that they al
most tear the forelock off.
If it is true that good work implies that
the workman knows himself. it is equally
true that the best work shows he has for
gotten himself.
There is only one right way to work
and it is neither in doing things before
they are started. nor in doing them all
over again after they are finished
Go to some successful workman and ask
him which of his days were happiest, and
it's long odds that he'll say to you,
Those in which l began my career"
1t is only when at work that man full
fills his proper place in Gods creature
scheme. They are indeed rare exceptions
who "also serve. who only stand and
wait"
The world is altogether too restricted
in it's use Of the word art" Work OF
any kind. done superlativcly well is art
busting pictures as well as painting them.
A good worker is pretty much like Il
horse after all. When it uphill going,
don't worry him: when it's dOwn-hill GO
ing. don't hurry him: and be sure and
take good care of him once he's in the
barn.

The Maine Gum Crop.
(Booklyn Standard-Union.)

(Booklyn Standard-Union.)
Have you heard the news from old
Maine?" 1t is sad news for the gum
chewing fraternity. for it says spruce
gum never was 50 scarce or SO high
IS this year. There is so little in the
market that it brings fifteen cents an
ounce retail. A dealer explains that it
isn't so much the scarcity of gum as
the scarcity of pickers. Gum picking
is hard work, and the pickers can make
almost as much by steady work in the
woods, with the high wages prevailing,
rs by hunting for this emulation of the
spruce tree. When wages are low,
gum hunting begins. Let us hope
wages will continue high in Maine for
many long day. To see a gum Chew
cr's jaws working constantly in public
is disgusting.
