ward, it is bold Republican Congress
man that dares to defy the chief dis
penser of political favors, so most of
them cringe to the despotic dictation of
the President. 1t will be remembered
that President Roosevelt threatened to
withhold patronage, such as appoint
ments of postmasters, from Congress-
men, If 1t pleased or advanced his in
terests to do SO, and his threat has had
the result Of making many Republican
Congressman vote against their convic-
tons, and In some cases against the
demands Of a majority of their constit-
uents. 1t was so in the statehood mat
ter, when many followed the President
to their own political undoing.
1t is true that some Senators, and
the Senate as a body, have defied the
President but the Senate has co-equal
power over appointments and treaty
making and cannot SO easily be domi-
neered over, through the power of pat
ronage. Making the President the sole
issue Of the campaign, and throwing
all real political issues into blind
pool,' from which they may Or may
not emerge, as the Presidential temper
may dictate, is dangerous experiment
for the Republican party. Many voters
feel they have been going it blind long
enough, and are anxious to instruct
their representatives, as they have the
right to, OH what course they shall take
on certain issues that the voters think

II this executive usurpation is allow
ed to be persisted In and is successfully
accomplished by the election of a sub
servient majority to Congress, is any
thing more certain that 1t will tend to
the downfall Of representative govern
ment, which is all that Republicanism
stands for?

Hurrah for the Democrats of Maine.
Have you heard from Maine? That
rocked-ribbed Republican State has
given the smallest majority against the
Democrats since 1872 barely 5000.
Nor was this great loss to the Repub-
licans confined to the vote for govern
or, for every Republican candidate for
Congress lost about the same percent
age, which shows that the people of
Maine are tired of Republican policies
and do not lndorse the standpat doc
trine, for the legislative candidates,
pledged to re-elect the subsidy hunting
and standpat boss Frye, have been de-
feated in SO many districts that the
legislature is in doubt at this writing.
Nor was the appeal of SECRETARY Taft
and other Republican spellbinders that
the issue was Roosevelt Endorsed by
the voters of Maine and their failure
to indorse that paramount issue"
shows the waning of the one man poll
cy. The same percentage of Democrat

A great interest always attaches to
the first frulting Of any tree in the
home orchard. The most important
question to be decided is: Will 1t come
true to name? Many and keen have
been the disappointments that have fol-
lowed the negative answer to that
question. The purchaser of few
trees, of different species and varieties,
Is entitled to as much honesty and care
in the selection and shipping of the
stock as the commercial orchardist,
who buys by the block or the thousand.

ly clean gait for a PAGER, requiring no
hopples or toe weights. She has a nat
ural, easy stride that does not seem to
tire her in the least in spite of closely
contested finish.
AT the recent SO called outlaw meet
ing at Kenilworth park. Buffalo, Ec-
static astounded the talent by defeating
Baron Grattan, with Ed Geers up, in
two heats out of three.
Geers and his free for all star We're
thought to hold Ecstatic safe by many
seconds, and big price was obtainable
in the pools against Ecstatic.
Frank Lang surprised every one
when he marched Ecstatic to the front
early in the first heat of the fast pace
and kept her there. jogging home in
2.05A. Baron Grattan's admirers still
had faith in his ability to win, but
Geers free for all PAGER is the I'M
luckiest horse on the turf, for he is
always getting up against something
frightfully hard.
Geers went after the Vermont mare
going away the second heat and carried
her down to the three-quarters in / 80.
The mare just played with him going
at this clip, and. as Geers said, she
logged the third quarter in 80 seconds.
The Baron was all in at the head of
the stretch, and Ecstatic had a comfort
able time coming home. The mile was
in 2:04A, a cut of full second in the
winners record.
Ecstatic is owned by Roaring Brooks
stables, Barton, Vt, and is a half sister
to John Shepard's Pennsylvania win
ner, Ethel's Pride. This is her first
start of the year, and horsemen arc
very enthusiastic over her.
Mainsheet is certainly a trotter Of
rare merit, being able to go out every
week and trot three heats below 2:10
which will nearly always win any class
trot.
His performances this season make
him look to be the best class trotter
that has appeared in recent years,
and if he keeps his form he will I'M
doubtedly prove the greatest money
winning trotter of the year.
That ether good trotter, Lake Queen,
also won another fine race at Buffalo,
and also showed her ability to trot
three times below 2:10, which is a
great performance by any trotter, no
matter in what class or in what COM
pany he starts.
Mainsheet is a sure 2:05 trotter this
season, say the knowing ones, and the
prediction is far from being rash one
when his performances are analysed.
