rich men and to do nothing for the
farmer" The protection and propa-
cation OF the fish in the streams and
Of the game birds and animals In the
forests is just as much for the benefit
of the farmer as for that of anybody
else. Does Mr.. Davis think the farm
er never goes hunting or fishing or
hires for a guide, or sells supplies to
hunting parties?
The simple fact is that the State Of
Maine pays not dollar for game pro-
lection, but this service pays for it.
self. The State pays $4,000 year
for fish hatcheries and stations for the
purpose Of stocking the public waters
with food fish, and no money is better
expended. No intelligent man objects
to fish culture, for all know that it is a
benefit to have the lakes and streams
stocked with trout, salmon, bass and
other kinds. Good fishing grounds
bring visitors and visitors bring reve-
nue.. The fishing season is
long, and good fishing means summer
boarders and good price for board
The amount of it is that the fish and
game laws yield to the people of the
State in various ways year in and
year out, thousands of dollars more
than they cost. 1t is a fact so patent
and so thoroughly proved that it is
Astonishing that the Democratic stump
speakers should think there is any
thing to be gained by bringing for
ward their old misrepresentation
again.

The hike" of the First Regiment

The hike" of the First Regiment to
Camp Cobb begins today. 1t is a real
march across the country this year
for the boys. not merely a ride on the
train, and the experience cannot fail
to be a benefit to the organization.
Augusta will be very glad to welcome
the boys when they arrive Wednes-
day. Let US hope they will be favored
with fair weather. for marching in
rain and mud and sleeping or wet
ground would be unpleasant and near
er the real thing than the boys want
on short notice. Maine has always
been proud of it's National Guard and
both regiments are in splendid condi
ton at the present time. The week of
the encampment is the great occasion
of the year and in these later times 1t
is a week Of hard work and not occa-
sion for show.

Secretary Root at Rio Janeiro.

The reports of Secretary Roots
speech at the opening of the Pan
American conference at Rio Janeiro
show that our Secretary of State is
well representing this country and
speaking the voice of enlightened
craftsmanship which cannot fail to
impress all the delegates Of the Cen
trail and South American republics
who are gathered there. Declaring in
impressive terms that this is just
nation whose people have no desire to
engage in oppression Mr.. Root said:
I'VE wish for no victories except those
of peace. We wish for no territory
cept over ourselves. We deem the in
dependence and rights of the smallest
and weakest member of the family Of
nations entitled to as much respect as
those of the greatest empire, and we
deem the observance of that respect
to be the chief guarantee for the weak
against the oppression of the strong.
We neither claim nor desire any rights
or privileges of power that we do not
freely conceede to every American re-
publicc."
The whole tenor of his speech was
tactful and conciliatory in the extreme.
He appealed to all the peoples OF
South and Central America to unite
with the United States in creating an
international public opinion" whose
power shall influence interna-
tional conduct; he declared
that the spirit of his own country for
babe it to cherish plans of self-ag-
| grandizement founded on the pulling
down Of the weaker, and he pledged
his country to that forbearance and
amity which are the natural fruits of
policy founded on honor, justice and
peace.
| After the conference at Rio Janeiro
| il ended he will visit in turn the CAPT.
| tails of the other South American re-
publics, meeting their leading men and
impressing them with the fact that
this government is absolutely I'M
selfish in its friendship for them
Some of these South American re-
publics have long been unjustly sus-
picious of the United States, feeling
due to various causes, nurtured by the
| Spanish blood in the veins of Their
people, and encouraged sometimes by
agents of European countries. 1t will
be a happy day for them, and for the
whole American continent, when these
nations understand the truth of the
case-that this government stands FOL
peace and justice and never for oppres-
sion; that it's desire for conquest is
limited to trade and commerce, and
that it is always a friend and pro-
tector Of these sister republics.

A Sample Democratic Lie.

One of the items of increased State
expenditure specified by MIR. Davis In
his Alfred speech is fish and game.
He said that the expenditure on this
account i'm 1895 was $24.195.74 and in
1905 it was $57,394.12, showing an IN
crease in ten years of $33,198.3S. And
his comment was: Fish and game de-
partment $33,19S38 more than ten
years ago. A game preserve of north
ern Maine, and nothing for the farm
err" This sounds plausible and will do
to fool the farmer with until the whole
story is told.
Mr. Davis doubtless knows-for his
speeches indicate research among the
statutes. reports and other documents
that the Legislature has appropriate
ed annually for many years approx
mately SOC 600 for the fish hatcheries
and feeding stations. He doubtless
knows also that by the law the re-
ceipts from hunting licenses, regis
tration fees of guides. licenses for the
transportation of game. birds and f1sh
licenses for dealing in the same. lines
and penalties etc, are expended by
the commissioners for the protection
of the fish and game of the State and
for damage done to growing crops by
deer. He knows that nonresident
hunters have to pay a fee of SIS for
the privilege of hunting in this State
He knows that the hunters license
law was not in force in 1895. having
been enacted but three years ago He
knows that Of the amount annually
expended for the protection of the in
land fisheries and game, more tnar
half comes from fees and fines and not
at all from the tax payers OF
| the State-for instance, in 1904 there
was expended $5s.53S.2s. of which but
$4,000 was appropriated by tne state
and the balance of $2s.533.23 came
from fees and fines. He knows, Oh
should know, that he is talking dema-
gogy when he intimates that the poll

Massachusetts automobilist Of the
speedomaniac type have found very
simple way to beat the speed law in
that state. A man was arrested i'm
Lynn the other day for overspeeding.
and when he appeared in court he
fairly took the judges breath away by
claiming immunity from penalty on
the ground that he had helped the
officers i'm the case against himself by
giving his name and address. He
backed up his contention by quoting
the statutes of 1906. which provide
that a man voluntarily giving informa-
ton is entitled to immunity The
justice, although he denounced the law
as unconstitutional and unjust, felt
compelled to place the case on file, and
the speeder went his way rejoicing.
Evidently the trainers of that law
were INDUCING in a little joke.

The Republicans have believed that
the people of Maine are both able and
willing to keepfuD with the procession
of modern life, that they do not feel
that what was good enough for their
grandfathers is good enough for them.
And the money of the State has been
paid out for the increased luxury OF
living. If the Democrats were in power
they could save money only by TRIM

that there has been dishonesty is a
false one. 1t furnishes an excellent

than that poor Syrian leper who has
been hunted and driven from city to

land during the past few weeks, ex-
cluded from every hospital and kim
dred institution and finding nobody
in a Christian land Christian enough
to help him. The case has been given
much prominence in the newspapers,
and is one which makes the enlighten-
ed reader blush for the form OF civil
iZation which this boosted Goth CEN
fury witnesses. So great is the in
herited prejudice of the masses
against the disease which has been
so dreaded for centuries that this poor

Chicago holds various worlds re-
cords, and one Of those Of which 1t
does not do any boasting, although the
matter is frequently and frankly dis
eussed i'm its newspapers. is its homi-
eide record. In 1905 there We're 1877
homfcides in Chicago. of which the
coroner reported % as justifiable. That
left 1853 murders with which the law
should have dealt, though as a matter
of fact. 1t dealt with but a small part
of them. Chicago accepts it's $50 to
200 murders year as though 1t were a
part of the natural order of things
in a city of less than 1000. 900 people,
but as a matter of fact. as the Chicago
Record Herald points out, it appears
that all Germany. with more than 25
times the population Of Chicago, has
only 60 per cent more murders. Eng
land and Wales. with 16 times the
population. have only double the
murders. France, with almost 20
times the population. has only three
and a third times as many murders.
Belgium, with three times the popula-
ton. has less than two-thirds as many
murders. Canada, with two and halt
times the population. has only one
tenth as many murders. mus
Chicago is not only the worlds worst
citv for murder, but it is worse thar
any nation as q whole.
