The Democracy's Dip Of Death.
(Waterville Mail.)

Another circus is coming. The
most thrilling. hair-lifting performance
will be seen when Madame Democracy,
with sublime indifference as to con-
sequences, will ascend the steeply in
clined plane to the very height of
strict enforcement Of the prohibitOry
law. Pausing a moment on that lofty
pinnacle, she will then run rapidly
down the slippery way of resubmission,
and. while the audience gaZes in OPEN
mOuthed wonder, the old lady will take
a double sOmerSault in mid air, shout
ing for Local option and License, and
finally will land with crash on the
solid platform of free rum. Dead? O.,
no! Only daZed and stunned. 1t will
take some time for her to recover, but
in two years she will come up smiling
again to repeat the performance.
This remarkable Dip of Death costs
something. but it is a lucrative three
or four months show to the star
performers and serves to increase the
bank accounts of several prominent
ring masters.

Republican Good Times.

A Democratic exchange remarks in d
resentful and peevish tone that New
England cotton mills have been forced
to share their prosperity with their en-
plOyees." We don't know how much
forcing" there has been in the pres
ent increase Of wages for the thousands
and thousands of cotton mill opera
tives in New England. but everybody
knows that the prosperity which the
mills are sharing with their employees
is result of Republican good times.
The conditions are in striking contrast
to those during the last Democratic
administration when soup-houses had
to he established in all the large cities
to save from starvation the multitudes
Of honest people who would gladly have
worked had there been work for them
to do.
The Democratic orators and editors
may indulge in sophistries to their
hearts content in this matter. but they
do not fool the people. 1t is a matter
Of Industrial history, and something
which the working class keenly realize
by their own experience, that, with
the Republican party in power and Re-
publican policies prevailing. there have
been uniformly good times and plenty Of
work, while a Democratic era has been
a period Of hard times and low wages.
The country was never SO prosperous
in all it's history as it is at the present
time after a full decade of Republican
administration in all departments of
the national government. Wages were
never so high, and there was never
such a demand for labor. Maine is get
ting its full share of the good times and
Maine people give the credit where 1t
is due.

That Pattison Letter.

1t is not at all strange that the
Democratic leaders Of Maine are dis
turhed by the publication of the ring
ing letter of endorsement sent by Gov
Cobb. Its appearance in the Journal
this week had the effect of a bomb
shell in their camp and the hysterical
antics which followed its descent
among them have been amusing to wit
ness. One Democratic editor devoted
mere than three columns of his ex-
tremely valuable space to demonstrate
ing that the letter was really of no con-
sequence whatever and not worth no
ticing. He even did the mind-reading
act and told us what Governor Patti
son would have written had he waited
until the present time. He is very
harsh on the memory of Governor
Pattison but feels safe in taking that
attitude as the Ohio executive is dead
and unable to say more on the sub
ject.
Governor Pattison has been one Of
the idols of the Democracy and his
victory in the Republican state of Ohio
caused much rejoicing in the ranks Of
the Democracy where there has been
a sad dearth of rejoicing for the past
dozen years But evidently Governor
Pattison was a different type of Demo-
crat than we know here in Maine. His
unqualified praise Of Governor Cobb
and The cause Of prohibition and his
cordial expression of hope that the peo-
pie of Maine will give Governor Cobb a
triumphant reelection in September
may well send cold chills up and down
the spine of the Maine Democracy. 1t
is a most significant document and
cannot fail to have much influence in
the campaign. We publish this letter
again this morning. Read it once more
and show it to your Democratic neigh
hor 1t will cause him to do some
thinking. provided he happens to be one
of that rare species of Democrats who
do their own thinking.

Better Roads for Maine.

The figures given out this week by
Highway Commissioner Paul ID. Sar-
gent give gratifying evidence of the
substantial progress which the good
road movement Is making here in the
State Of Maine. He shows that during
the present year no fewer 4 an 325 of
cur cities towns and plantations have
appropriated money for the permanent
improvement of their highways; that
Is, they have appropriated this money
in addition to their usual appropriation
for the repair and maintenance of their
roads. In doing this they take advan-
tage of the State law, which allows
them from the State treasury half as
much for this purpose as they them
selves appropriate, up to total OF 5000.
The total sum appropriated by these
325 municipalities for 1906 is $lo6. 7175.
The plan is to improve each year by
crushed rock or similar method a rel
atively short stretch of highway until
all the principal roads are improved.
The widespread interest taken In
this work gives ample promise that in
the near future the main highways
throughout the State will be source
Of pride rather than a reproach. as
they have too often been in the past.
The State of Maine has been famed for
many things. but never for its good
roads. On the contrary, there is no
doubt that the neglect Of it's highways
and the lack Of any system in their
repair and Improvement has been
serious handicap to the growth and de-
velopment of the State. especially in
it's summer business. The improve
ment along these lines is sure to re-
suit in substantial benefits. Perma-
nently improved highways through our
country sections will not only mean a
practical and financial benefit for those
who live along the roads in question.
but they will mean a large increase in
the tide of summer travel which pours

The Biddeford Records is responsible
for a great many remarkable political
utterances. but 1t outdoes itself when
IN a recent issue It quotes the Bidde-
ford saloon keepers as declaring that
they are satisfied with the existing or
der Of things and not at all anxious for
resubmission or for Democratic sue
cess at the coming election. OF course
this is hnaduiterated tommyrot, and
tile editor of the Record and every
reader Of the Record know well that
the rumsellers of Biddeford in common
with those Of all parts of the State. are
enlisted body and soul on the Demo-
cratic side in this campaign. They hate
Governor Cobb. and they will do all
they can to secure a Democratic vic
tory and an era of free rum. The rum
trust will flood the State with money in
behalf Of the Democratic ticket. The
Record oversteps the limits in declar-
ing that the rum element is satisfied
With the present laws. or present con-
dftfons. : Everybody knows better than
that.

MAINE EDITORIAL COMMENT.
Governor Pattison's Letter.
POrtlan1 ExnraSaN

IOFtlanu EXpreSS.)
So 1t seems there are Democrats and
Democrats. Here is one of Them the
governor of the great state of Ohio
i'raiSing the wisdom of our law, prac-
tically endorsing the position of the
Republican party and expressing the
earnest hope that the people of Maine
Will give to Governor Cobb the support
he so richly deserves.
Ihls letter comes to us from the
American Issue. published in Column
bus, Ohio, which speaks of it as the
political legacy of the late governor OF
tilat state. 1t is a remarkable dOcu-
ment in many ways. 1t is the recogni-
ton by man upon whom the re-
Sp0nsibility of the enforcement of law
In one American state rested, of the i'm
portance Of the duties devolving upon
the chief executive of another. 1t
comes from a political opponent who
sees beyond the petty matters of purely
partisan triumph. 1t is the endorse
ment of the great principle for which
Governor Cobb stands. from a worthy
man capable Of judging Of the impor-
lance OF that principle, and who realized
that 1t is of greater importance to the
well being of the community than the
triumph of any political party.
1t Is significant and should be re-
garded as influential among the best
citizens of the State Of Maine that
the late Governor PattisOn should have
SO plainly stated the responsibilities
which devolve upon the Christian peo-
pie of the State i'm an issue of this kind
The friends of law and order and good
government ought to range themselves
with the Pattisons and the Cobbs.
Party politics sink into insignificance
before the issues which this great Ohio
governor endorses in his communica-
ton to the great Governor Of Maine
We wish that the letter might be read
before every hearth stone of Maine.
We wish that every father who has
sons whom he would teach to be good
citizens would take its precepts to
heart and act upon its advice. We
wish it might be read aloud from every
pulpit. We believe that the people Of

~ Se"S ~S
Ny Dear Governor Cobb:
have just had the pleasure Of
reading the address which you de-
Iivered before the Deerins Re-
publican Club several weeks ago.
It certainly puts the issue in your
state in a masterful way, and
though ! differ from you on the
principles that divide the Re-
publican and Democratic schools
Of political thought, ! cannot re-
frain from expressing my profound
admiration for the firm and pa
triotic stand you have taken in be-
half Of the Maine law and it's
proper enforcement.
Every patriotic and honest
citizen must admit that all the
laws on the statute books of the
State should be obeyed and en-
forced; no one citizen has moro
right than any other to select what
he will obey and what he will not
obey. II he fails to obey them, he
is not a good nor a patriotic
citizen, and an officer who has
taken an oath to enforce the
ordinances of a village or city
and the laws of the State and fails
to do SO, should at once be re-
moved. This doctrine ! tried to
emphasize in my inaugural ad-
dress. The lack Of respect for law
is one Of the evils of the times, and
all people who are patriotic and
who believe in a stable form Of
government should realize that no
form of government can exist
without law, and no republic can
continue except on the foundation
of strict obedience to law and a
proper administration of justice.
The dignity of the law must be
maintained or the republic will
decay. Lincoln said that "rev-
erence for law should be the re-
lieion of the Nation" This was
but strong way of expressing his
idea upon the subject of law en-
forcemsnt. All Christian people,
irrespective of sect or creed,
should be in favor Of law and order
and should be opposed to law
Iessness.
feel sure that the results Of
your temperance legislation, as
shown by your criminal and
economic statistics in comparison
with those of other states have
demonstrated the wisdom of your
policy for Maine, and your ring
ing challenge to the good citizen
ship Of your state to support .
faithful administration Of the laws
places you in line with this cheer
ing wave Of reform which is
sweeping over the country in all
directions, and which is essentially
nonpartisan. indulge in the be-
lief it is not transient and ! hope
it will be sufficiently strong in the
State Of Maine to sustain you
royalty in your praiseworthy
course.
You are entitled to and I hope
will receive tho support of all good
citizens Of Maine in the next
campaign, during which I under
stand that the endorsement of
your position will be one Of the
leading issues.
With assurances of high regard
and best wishes. I am,
Sincerely yours,
JOHN M. PATTiSON.

into Maine. They will mean better
prices for farm property, the hauling of
larger loads to market, and in every
way raising of the standard Of coun-
try life. Commissioner Sargent has
been waging an active crusade since his
appointment to Office, and it's results
are apparent. Fourteen of our 20 cit
les, 3O5 Of our 427 towns, and 16 of our
20 organized plantations have made ex-
ira appropriations this year for perma-
nent highway improvements, and will
receive money from the State treasury
to help them in their work. 1t is a
splendid showing and demonstrates
that the generous and farsighted law
passed by the last Legislature was
great stimulus to the towns in this
work. Let the good work go on in
every part of our State.

Take a Vacation.

(SomerSet RepOrter)
Don't believe for minute the per-
son who tells you that you don't need
a vacation. Continuous labor of the
human machine. like the grind on the
machine made Of iron and steel, causes
decay and finally death. A person will
live longer, happier and better by TAX
ing a vacation. 1t rejuvenates the
health and the spirits. 1t infuses new
life into the blood. We don't think it
is anything to boast of that person
hasn't taken a vacation for a series of
