State affair. AS matter of fact, tn"
people of Maine are not taxed one cent
more for the protection Of fish and
game than they We're in 1895. This
increase" Of $33,l9S comes wholly
from license fees ana fines. almost the
whole sum being paid by sportsmen
hunt. not only paying for the privi-
lege but also contributing hundreds of
thousands Of dollars to the prosperity
of the State. The Democratic ATTEMPT
to fool the people in this matter is a
sample of the methods they are en-
plOying in this campaign.

Vote for Senator Frye.
for.

Maine has never had in the councils
er ADLER more upright man, or one in
closer and more sympathetic touch
with his constituents than William p.
Frye He is everywhere recognized as
stalwart American, broad and pro-
gressive statesman, and man whose
influence in national legislation is Sec
ond to none. He is today a national
figure, and his splendid career reflects
credit alike upon himself and his
State From the day when Senator
Frye first went to Washington there
has been no legislation for the
progress and welfare of Maine that has
not had his hearty and able support.
He has borne a conspicuous and in
fiuential part in the enactment of the
legislation under which our State is, to-
day. enjoying the greatest era of pros
perity in its history. Senator Frye
will be a candidate before the next
legislature for reelection to the seat
in the United States Senate that he
has filled so ably and well. No Re
publican in our State should overlook
this fact. 1t should at all times be
borne clearly in mind that vote for
the Republican legislative candidates
will be vote for William P. Frye.

MAINE EDITORIAL COMMENT.
People,. Cobb, Council G Co.
tWaterVille Mail.)

The voters Of Maine are having a
discussion Of State finances during
the present campaign that is unique
in the respect that Candidate Davis
talks about expenditures only, while
the Republicans are answering him
by furnishing complete information as
to Wher, the dollars paid out go and
what the people receive in return.
The same reason and common sense
should be applied in studying the
manner of conducting the business of
the state as would be proper in look
ing into the affairs of any large busi-
ness concern. At the head Of the Off
cial staff Of the firm doing business
under the name of the State Of Maine
is William T. Cobb who. as COVER
nor, is chief superintendent of the or
ganiZation. Working with him are
the members of the Council and the
members of the Legislature. Every
man in the State should be interested
in the matter Of how the affairs OF the
hig concern are managed. but every
man should be as fair in his investi-
CATION of the business operations of
People. Cobb Council & Co. as he
would be were he examining the
books Cf Davis e Soule or any other
firm in which he might have a per
sonal interest. No man will dispute
til" ju>ti"e Of that proposition. and
SO, let us give the matter of State eX-
pcnses the same impartial review as
would Mr. Davis. We're he looking up
the condition Of business, after an
absence Of some duration. In such
a in
slcction of the accounts and books
and the first thing to be considered
would be the amount of money COM
ing into the treaSurer'S hands. The
receipts being understood the next
consideration would be the amount Of
cash on hand and whether the liabili-
ties Of the business We're increasing
or becoming less. Such a fair and
inn artial inspection Of the books of
People. cobb. Council x Co, would
show that the rate Of taxation has
been reduced while the receipts Of the
business have been greatly augmented
ana the liabilities Of the business
have been greatly decreased. But in
the face of these facts. Mr.. Davis
rises up and cries "rhe business is
ruined. See how much money we
are spending" And when he is in
formed that funds are given freely to
the hospitals Of the State. 10 the or
Ihan homes, to the aid Of fairs, to
the building Of bridges. to the sup
port of State paupers. to the aid of
old veterans, to have better schools,
to improve the methods of farming,
to protect our orchards and forest
trees from the ravages Of injurious
insects, then does Candidate Davis
rise up ana declare, "Put me in and |
will stop all of that"
But the firm of People, Cobb. Coun-
ell & CO., is very prosperous com
bination and the senior partner. Mr..
People, is well pleased with the work
Of the present chief superintendent,
Governor William Il. Cobb.

AS to Honesty,
portland Express.)

The State of Maine Is being hysteri-
cally urged to be honest. 'Tis good
advice. 'Tis advice that the great
majority of the voters desire to follow
In good faith. But the hysteria which
Is being displayed does not impress tn.
average citizen much. In the first
place for the State to be honest involves
no great change in State affairs. II
would not be a sign of honesty. as the
average citizen looks upon the question.
to change William 7. Cobb the bust
ness man of unblemished reputation
ana the Governor whose term of Office
has been SO throughly successful, for
the promoter of. the gold king" the
gold prince" and various patent medi-
cine stocks. There is no reason why
Governor Cobb personally should be
Side-tracked on the ground of honesty
Tor Cyrus w. Davis. The question of
political honesty may we'll be raised in
this campaign, but the political honesty
OF Governor Cobb, and Congressman

OF the stamp of Davis. of William M.

THE entire direct State tax I'm 1903
was S9lS174" walls the Democratic
campaign pamphlet, but it stops right
there. 1t could not well make any eX-
planation or comparison which would
serve Democratic purposes. 1t wants
tax-payers to think that this is a great
and unprecedented sum which is a
burden to them. AS matter of fact,
it is $4,000 less than it was the year
before and $137 900 less than ii was 25
years ago. In spite of Names grow
ing population and wealth and the in
creasing needs of the State, its people
actually pay a smaller and smaller
State tax. This is because the State
tax rate is being reduced and because
the revenue of the State is derived in
increasing meauSre from the railroads.
the corporations, the savings banks,
etc. Where the State tax rate was Az
mills q quarter of century ago it is
now only 21a mills, and in that time the
State debt has been cut from $4.11S.175
to $1.115,000. This has been done
under Republican rule. The burden"
of state taxation was never so light on
the people of Maine as it is today.

The WaterVille Sentinel in a frantic
attempt to get stab at Sheriff Ham,
deliberately repeats a statement al
legged to have been made by Governor
Cobb in his speech at Belfast which
Governor Cobb has publicly stated to
have been Il misquotation and which
the reporter who sent it out admits to
have been his own error of statement in
the haste Of preparing his copy Here
is evidently a deliberate purpose on the
part of Mr.. Davis paper to tell de-
liberate falsehood relative to Governor
Cobb and "TO STICK TO IT. al
though both the Governor who is al
legged to have used the language in
question and the reporter who sent it
same paper. deliberately running on it's
editorial page an exploded falsehood
which declared in a recent issue that sit
seems strange that there should be
persons who, when they have made an
honest mistake, or when they have in
the heat of debate made statements
which are not justified by the truth,
hesitate to make, frankly and freely,
full and complete correction and If
possible reparation." Strange indeed!

Republican rule in Maine as in the
reduction and tax reduction Il period
Of increased bank deposits for the
people and of work for all who want to
work. 1t has been a period of honest
government with the management of
State affairs business-like. clean and
progressive. The people Of Maine
know this to be true and the attempt
of the Democrats to confuse them and
throw DUST i'm their eyes will be a
miserable failure. The State of Maine
is honest and will continue so.

No Democratic orator or editor can
get away from the fact that the
history of the Democratic party has
been one succession of failures. When
ever it has been given power. with
the opportunity to inaugurate and car
ry to completion some great national
issues such as a tariff law, a financial
policy or a lesser national issue, it has
proved not only disastrous for the par
ty and policy itself. but has carried
with it disaster to the financial and
commercial interests of the country
The State and country are very pros
porous but they cannot afford to take
any chances with Democratic rule.

one of the GIi'idcn party in writing
of the tour through western ana CEN
tlal Maine has this to say: zone of the
surprises was the character uf the
rMtdS found in Maine. Each day as
th'' travellers neircd the Pine Tree
Stat" they began to fear this last stage
| of their journey. They knew they
were to travel through miles of forest,
ana il was expected that it would be
over tote roads and trails that were
anything but safe. How greatly they
We're surprised can only be adequately
toll by the motorists themselves. They
have not gotten over it yet. There
WAS nN roads ON the tour that were
anyWhrr" near as good as the one cX-
tending from Jackman to Wlteryille
Mile after mile was rcelcd off by some
of the ears al a 3.-milr-an-h speed
without any bother. Cars landed at
the controls in some instances nearly
an hour ahead of schedule time. The
run from Waterville to Rangelcy. too
WAS over another good road. If any
one wants to make a pleasure trip into
the wilderness. he need have no hrSita-
ton about the roads if he goes over
the great highway through Maine TO
Quebec. There ar" plenty of places
scattered along that stretch of road
WhHrc accommodations may be secured,
and with a car being driven at j rea-
S"nable pac" it would prove an IDEAL
pleasure trip. That a great many
tourists would make the trip north if
they We're aware of the fine highway
there is little doubt. In the fall it
would be the easiest thing imaginable
to go ON a hunting trip in n motor car
up through that region. Game is
quite plentiful. and the tourists would
not have to go far from the car to get
good shooting. The roads leading from
the main highway into the woods near
the ponds are being put in shape SO
that it will be only question of a
short time when the motor car will in
wade the most remote sections of the
