Garden, he freed his mind on politics,

silver question slumber for the present
Indeed he announced that he is even
more radical than he was In 1896 The

reminded him OF strenuous campaigD
times. Mr.. Bryan has gone home, will

a curious bird tragedy is told about
In the London Field. a man found a
yellow hammer dead In his yard at
the foot of wall The bird had flown
against 1t with such force as to be
stunned. Not only that, but the upper
mandible had been bent back, and in
the Strengthening out the sharp point
was driven down through the lower
bill and locked, thus booming the bird
to death by starvation. The man sent
the head to the Field. A good many
similar accidents have been recorded,
but il was always heavier bird whose
weight made the springing of the bill
easier. a good many of the birds were
found in a starved condition, showing
that they died lingering deaths from
want of food Birds that fly against
the lighthouses have the skull bones
crushed and die instantly, but others
are stunned only.

Dem0cracy's Inning.

Somerset county Democrats gathered
at Grange Hail, Saturday evening and
sat patiently for three hours while their
candidate for county attorney, 5. w
Gould, their candidate for Governor,
Cyrus w Davis of " aterville; and Rev.
E. E. Newbert, an Augusta clergyman,
related tales of Republican incompe
tency and extolled Democratic virtues.
lative candidate, is moved to take the
side of Democracy in this campaign from
the promoting of his conscience which
tells him that the evils of intemperance
can be largely lessened by substituting
high license with local option for our
present system of state prohibition. He
speaker and he made out surprisingly
good case, considering the Inherent
weakness of his cause. He demonstrate
cd what every body knows that rum is
still sold in Maine, to some extent, in
violation of the prohibitory law. Mr..
Newbert would give up the fight for
prohibition, and permit those towns in
Maine which could be dominated by the
iutlue nee of those who are interested in
liquor, either as vendors or consumers
to establish the licensed saloon. The
great point not touched upon by Mr..
Newbert, and the point generally lost
sight of by ACCOMPLISHMENTS, lies in the
fact that license laws, where now on
trial in other states, are as shamefully
and openly violated as is the prohibit
tory law in Maine. We have some dives
aud kitchen bar rooms under prohibi
ton; under license We should have the
dives and the legal zed saloon in
addition.
All the charges brought against the
Republican party by Mr.. Davis and Mr..
Gould have been answered by the
speakers and through the press of that
party during the last few weeks. AS a
matter of fact the Republican party,
which has been at the head of affairs in
this State for quarter of a century,
claims to have only human wisdom 1t
would be strange indeed if in all that
time some of its policies may not have
proved fallible Among all the progress,
and change for which amid warning of
conflicting interests, they have shaped
the necessary legislation, Republicans
DO not claim that they have not erred
What they do claim is that, considering
the responsibilities involved, their judy
ments have proved marvelously accurate
and that legislation under their guild
ance, has been the best that could have
been produced by any party at the time
it was enacted. 1t is up to the cham.
pions of Democracy, who now ask the
voters to entrust them with the vital
concerns of this State, to prove that, in
any given crisis, Republicans, either
through venality or incompetency have
failed to accomplish the best results
which were at the time possible, and
they should also prove, a likelihood at
least, that they would under the same
circumstances, have done better. This
they have signally failed to do, nor does
our memory of the last time Democracy
was dominant IN national affairs or our
knowledge of the quality of statesman
ship exhibited by members Of that party
in other states, where they are now in
control, encourage the belief that the
miracles of reform, spoken of by Mr.
Davis and Mr.. Could, would follow a
Democratic victory next Monday.

GOES OSLER ONE BETTER
DR.. Minot Declares Men Are Useless
After They Reach 2S

NEW YORK, March The twenty
fifth year is the limit of intellectual
growth"
I'VE begin to grow old before we arc
born"
THE infant learns more in its first year
than il learns I'm all the rest of It's life" >"
''As soon as the power Of growth ceases
old age sets in +"
DIR. Osler placed the period of perma-
nent fatigue too late in life"
These are some OF the statements with
which DIR. Charles Minot, professor OF
cmbryology N Harvard university, sent
shudder Of horror through his audience in
the Academy OF Medicine. He set back
the Oslerian age 10 the youthful twenty
fifth year. After that age according to
DIR. Nlnot. man Is incapable OF pro-
crossing. DR.. Minot mercifully refrained
from setting any definite ago for the ad-
minIstra tioH of chloToform.
Permanent fatigue" is the expression
which Dr. Mnot gave TO his apprectatlve
audience as descriptive OF the condition
of the man who tops his tweRty-hfth
year.
DR.. Minots lecture was not such as to
make him popular. After the announce
ment Of the Oslerlan theory II was noted
that elderly men, as well as the middle
aged OF the glrthy sort who wear con-
gress CATERS because they arc easy to
don and doff, were apt to start into bursts
OF anger when illusions to DR.. Oslcr were
made.

BOYCOTT IS JUST BEGINNING
Business In China of San Francisco
Firm Is Paralyzed.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 1-W. s
Allen, Canton agent for the Sperry Flour
company, who arrived on the Hong
kong Maru today, having been recalled
on account of the paralysis of the firms S
Chinese business since the boycott, stated
that the situation In the Orient is very
serious. He said:
The principal clement in the agitation
over there is the newspapers The Chi
nese newspapers have progressed
wonderfully. They are at last alive to
the general situation of affairs through
out the world. and they are becoming n
powerful weapon. II has been charged
that they are controlled by the Japanese
but | have seen no evidence of It,
THE whole movement seems to me q
Chinese national upheaVal. and those who
know most about 1t are most impressed
with the gravity OF the situation. II is
foolish TO say the boycott or the reform
movement in general is weakening. 1t
would be moro correct to say it is just
beginning.

compromised by allowing the coolies ac-
cess to the Philippines and Hawaii"
