County Road Meeting


The county road meeting held in
Ellsworth last week under the direc-
ton of State Highway Commissioner
Sargent and the county commissioners,
brought together representative
gathering OF road builders, some
twenty towns OF the county being
represented.
The meeting cannot fail of good re-
suits AS an experience meeting
alone, the ideas exchanged must
prove of value, while the points given
on scientific bodybuilding must have
effect.
OF course the same treatment can
not be given every piece of road, and
Hancock county has all kinds. AS
Commissioner Sargent aptly put it,
the same medicine cannot be admin
istered for every disease.
We need to get away from some OF
the old ideas of road building, or
rather road treatment, for in many
cases it is anything but road building.
The interest shown in this, the first
road convention, is an augury for
better things. A full report OF the
meeting appears elsewhere in this
issue

The State Convention.

The republican State committee has
named Wednesday, June "a, as the
date and Portland az the place of the
convention at which governor is to
be nominated to be voted for at the
September election, and this an
nouncement may be regarded as prac-
tically the opening of the political
campaign in Maine for 1906.
Not for generation has the republi-
can party had more serious work to do
than it will have at this convention.
Never in its history has it, as the
dominant party in the State, been
subjected to more virulent criticism,
not only by it's antagonist, the demo-
cratic party, but also by many of its
own FESTIVE and impatient members,
as during the past few years.
To confound it's enemies outside its
ranks and to placate it's own FESTIVE
members is the task set before it at
the coming convention. That this
may be accomplished it behooves
every city and town to select as dele
gates to the convention men who
represent best and fully the senti-
ments of their constituents, and who
are competent to give them adequate
expression.
Never did better opportunity
present itself to disprove the ever
recurring, but utterly groundless
charge of the democrats that the Sc
lection of delegates to republican
conventions especially to State
dictated by the State
This committee, as
every thoughtful man must know, is

.LABOR'S CAMPAIGN
ADDRESS ISSUED.
American FederationAn-
nounces It's National
Political Programme

WASHINGTON, July 22.-The execu-
tive council of the American Federation
of Labor today made good its decIara-
ton of several months ago to enter the
field of politics in the interest of trades
union movements and to urge all the
friends of organized labor to elect to
political offices men known to DO ia
vorable to labor's cause
At the headquarters of the federation
the council today issued its Campaign
programme addressed ito all organ
lied labor and friends in the United
States"
1t sets out that the trades union move
pace with the rapid change in industrial
affairs and that the working people
cannot hope to maintain their rights
or a progressive position in the vary
ing phases of modern society unless
they organize and exercise all those
functions as workingmen and citizens
which it is their privilege and duty to
exercise.
1t is declared that labor makes no
demand upon the Government and So
ciety which is not equally accorded to
all the people of this country and that
lit can and will be satisfied with moth
ing less"
The proposed campaign is based upon
the allegation that little attention has
been paid to the enactment of laws pre-
pared by organized labor and presented
to Congress for relief from those
wrongs and the attainment of those
rights to which labor and the common
people are justly entitled and which
are essentially necessary for their well
fare.
The council issues a word Of warn
ing that the movement must not degen-
crate into a scramble for office, but
that it should be a determined effort,
free absolutely from all partisanship
of every name and character, to secure
the legislation deemed necessary and
essential to the welfare and happiness
of the laboring people.
1t says expressly that If a Congress-
man or State legislator has proved him
self a true friend to the rights of labor
he should be supported and no candi-
date nominated against him.

SPECIAL pIsrArcH TO THE CALL.

SAN DIEGO, July 22.-Several thou
sand persons, among them many men
and officers of the French warship
Catinat, made the trip to Tia Juana
this afternoon to see Felix Robert. the
great French matador, in the second
big bun fight of the season. Four
bulls were killed. two by Robert and
one each by Paquiro and Ell Cuco. All
of the bulls were good fighters and
made things extremely lively for the
men. One of the features of the aft
ernoon was the work of FL Cuco.
Twice during the afternoon he took a
pole and when the bull charged vault
ed over the animals back.
The two bulls killed by Robert were
very quick. But one thrust was needed
in each instance, the death of the bulls
being almost instantaneous. Parquiro
also killed his bull in quick time, but
FL Cuco required two thrusts to dis
pose of his opponent The cape work
by Matador Robert was particularly
good and several times the daring OF
the great fighter led him into danger

Frugal Leader Is | LOST to Wall Street

ported I'll the effect was apparent on
quotations and the street became agi-
tated. When the fnancier cut his
working day to three hours and was
attended by physician in his office
and to and from his work wild rumors
of approaching collapse were circu-
lated. Yet 1t Is a notable fact, at
tested by Mr.. Sage himself, that on his
birthday. whether stories of illness
were rife or not. the holdings he had
always rose and his luck in the great
game was remarkable.
GREAT LOVE OF BUSINESS.
The tenacious love which Mr.. Sage
bore toward his business was illustrat-
ed on November IL, 1903, when he suf-
fered a severe bilious attack. The
veteran money lender went as usual to
his office with physician. He reached
there before Change opened and sat in
an easy chair all day. Near him the
ticker chartered, but he did not scan
the tape. Around him clerks were busy.
But he did not work. He could scarcely
live away from the rush and roar he
had known all his life. could not sever
the bonds even for a little while when
i'll. AS the last quotation was jotted
on the tape and the ticketr operator gave
good night" Sage arose. put on his
hat mechanically and went home. He
was greatly improved that night.
The first thing Russell Sage did on
his eighty seventh birthday, which fell
in 1903, was to attend a meeting of'the
board of directors of the Importers
and Traders Bank. He sat stolidly
through the short session ad pocketed
with alacrity the SO gold piece always
given to the members as fees on such
occasions. Then he went to 195 Broad
way and ate luncheon at the expense of
the Western Union Telegraph Company,
which he had done since the Civil War.
He then rode uptown on the IL road,
exhibiting his pass to the ticket chop
per. On personal expenses he was just
SO ahead on the day.
