We spoke yesterday of the plans by
Kansas for the celebration of its semi
centennial I'm 1911. 1t seems that the
state has another celebration nearer at
hand than that which is also of gen.
eral interest. Two weeks from today.
Sept %, II will celebrate the centennial
of the first unfurling of the American
flag over Kansas soil. The event &C.
CURED in what is now Republic county.
a few miles south of the Nebraska line.
There Lieut.. Zebulon NJ. Pike. in COM
mand of only a score of men. met in
council with the chiefs of the Pawnees
in their great village on the banks Of
the Republican river. On that occa-
sion Pike demanded that the Spanish
flag. which was floating over old Chief
characteristics tent. should be- lowered
and replaced by the American flag 1t
was a stiff demand to be made at u
period when the Pawnees held the
United States government in disrespect
and sioried in the power Of Spain
but 1t was compiled with. The centen-
NAL commemoration to be held at Re-
public city is to extend over four days,
from the Goth to the Goth. AS the state
of Kansas has only begun its semi
centennial period, this is the one
chance there to have a commemora-
ton of 100 years ago. and local pride
is appealed to with the claim that this
first raising Of the flag is far more
worthy of making fuss about thar

Colorado is to deliberately celebrat:

The usual fall famine is promised.
that is, a famine in freight cars to
move the great crops of the West
Since the department Of agriculture
''sized up the corn crop in August.
the prospect has improved to the ex-
tent of 67,OO0.OOO bushels. That is To
say, instead of harvesting 2,d3.069,0O
bushels. as we had prospect of do
ing 4 month ago. it is apparent that
the crop of corn now ripe or ripening
will amount to ESQ .O69. 600 bushels. We
may assume. therefore. that the bump
er corn crop of history is about to be
gathered. Last years crop was 2.1O1.-
35i0 bushels. 1t was the record crop.
The greatest yield up to that time had
been 2523,64S .3l2 bushels. in 1902.
Wheat will also he a record yield. al
though the condition of spring wheat
has gone off a little since the August
report. We have a prospect now of
769.O1I 900 bushels of wheat. which is
100000 bushels above the bumper
crop of 1901.

Along with the reputation of being
the most lawless city in the world. Chi
cago now proposes. to have the distinc-
ton Of possessing the largest court
house in the world. The corner stone
is to be laid next week, and it is hoped
that the structure will be completed in
three years. 1t will cost about $4,000. 600
or rnore-and will be 12-story struc-
ture with a floor area of IA acres and
over a mile of corridors. AS Indicating
the kind Of ground upon which Chicago
is built, it is stated that the courthouse
will rest upon 1870 concrete caissons
each from to 10 feet in diameter ex-
tending down through the soft soil to
solid rock 115 feet below the street
grade. 1t will be big hall of justice
and Chicago needs it.

Hens sometimes lay astonishing odd-
ties in the way of eggs, but when
Plymouth Rock hen, sane-minded and
in the best of health, lays a genuine,
undisputed snake egg. it comes pretty
near being the limit. Yet that is Just
what Plymouth Rock hen belonging
to Frank Parker Of Lewiston who lives
on the Hogan road did. 1t is the for
nation of an egg, but it bears an UNI
mistakable and perfect resemblance to
snake. 1t takes no suggestion or
over-strained imagination to see the
likeness. When Mr.. Parker showed the
egg it was taken at first sight for an
actual snake. The shape is perfect.
Head, curled up body, and tapering tail
are all there and it is in n perfectly
natural position. People who see it re-
fuse TO believe that it is really an egg
until 4 closer examination removes all
doubts. 1t is of exactly the same COM
position as 4 SOft-shelled egg. and the
lime formation can be plainly seen. The
singular oddly is some II inches long
as near as can be judged. but it is
curled up and takes little mere space
than an ordinary egg. 1t was laid
Tuesday and was found by Mr.. Parker
on the nest. 1t took him several min
utes to convince himself that it was an
egg and not some strange freak OF
snake. Several persons well VerSed IN
natural history and competent Judges
of such things have seen the egg, ana
while they admit its genuineness they
are at a loss to account for its cause
Mr. Parker will preserve the curiosity
in alcohol.

MAINE EDITORIAL COMMENT.
The Third Parties.
portland PreSS.)

AS the total cast for governor last
Monday is in the neighborhood OF
1916, 900, being a little in excess of that
figure, and as the Prohibition vote
is less than 1000, it follows that the
party has fallen undfrs the required
one per cent and will have to resort
to nomination papers aext time. if 1t
keeps up it's organization. This is
heavy drop from the vote of 2.512
polled by Woodward in 1904, and 1T is
to be accounted for by. the fact that
many of the Prohibitionists dropped
their party candidate and supported
Governor Cobb. The Socialists, on
the other hand. have apparently some
what exceeded the one per cent and
so retain their place on the ballot.

Hearst as a Gubernatorial Candidate


The political activities of Hearst. the
yellow journalist, continue to add Zest
to the situation in New York. The con-
yention of his drluded followers and
cringing hirelings, calling itself the
Independence League. nominated him
for Governor of New York this week
amid emotional ryrotechnics of a very
picturesque and vociferous order. Ii is
the beginning of the gubernatorial
campaign in the Empire State, and it
gives promise Of very lively times be-
fore election day in November. 1t now
remains to be seen whether the Demo-
cratic convention which is to be held
at Buffalo next week will endorse
Hearst or nominate a candidate OF ITS
own. 1t seems impossible that the De-
mocracy of New York State will sur
render it's identity altogether and sub
nit to being swallowed up by this So
called Independence League with
Hearst as it's standard bearer. The
New York Democrats. however, like
rats-everywhere else. have done
some very strange things in the past.
swallowing their alleged scrnples AMI
sacrificing their alleged principles as
expediency demanded. Its policy is
simply one shifting opportun-
ism, but to surrender its name and
traditions at the behest of this social
ed Independence League and the DEM
agogue at its head would be the most
humiliating suicidal act of its career.
The New York Republicans may well
view the situation with equanimity
The record of the present Republican
administration has been a clean and
business like one, and the proceedings
Of the last LEGISLATURE in which many
important measures were passed. par
ticularly commended themselves to the
masses of the people. Their forces are
well organized under strong leadership
and the activity Of Hearst. who draws
his strength largely from the Demo-
cratic party, can only add to the d.
visions in the ranks of their opponents.
Hearst came near election when he
ran for mayor of New York city, but
as his strength is very largely among
the ignorant, the radical and the dis
satisfied of the great metropolis he Will
probably cut but a sorry figure in the
contest for the governorship of the
state. unless the Democrats surrender
to him and give him their full party
support. The political methods of
Hearst are on par with those he uses

wild horses. but he holds the key

In honOring the memory Of Patrick
Henry as an orator the world has for
gotten that he was also a soldier. The
celebration Of the jamestown ter-cen-
tennial brings to light the fact that in
the neighborhood Of jamestown in ITS
he led a brief campaign at the head Of
700 soldiers. They marched from Fred
ericksburg, Va, to Williamsburg, the
seat Of the Colonial government under
Lord Dunmore, proposing to seize the
governor. The governor fed and the
expedition was not a great success. but

existence and was the first raised in

The Crisis Down in Cuba.

1t is not to be denied that the situa-
| ton down in Cuba is a most delicate
one. Affairs there are plainly ap-
preaching crisis. and our government
took a wise step in sending war vessels
to Cuban waters. Since our govern
ment freed Cuba from the curse Of
Spanish rule and set it up in business
for itself as an Independent republic
1t has wholly refrained from interfer-
ing with the affairs Of the island. Our
people have earnestly hoped that the
young republic would prove stable and
prosperous. 1t has indeed prospered in
a material way. but within the last few
months there have been unmist taxable
indications that its government lacked
the elements Of stability and perma-
hence.
The insurrection against President
Palma has spread in spite Of every eff
fort to suppress it. and is plainly now
| beyond the control Of the government
at Havana. The dispatches from the
| island indicate that the government
| has few active friends, most Cubans
being either against it or neutral. 1t
IS not understood that our vessels and
up an effete government. 1t is not our
purpose to act as arbitrator there be-
| tween two warning factions and then,
having set up another peaceful govern
ment to retire and give an opportunity
for another insurrection. The United
States aims only to establish peace in
Cuba. maintain order and protect pros
perity.
This will not be a difficult task if the
crisis comes, for all the Cuban people,
insurgents as well as the friends Of
the Palma government, have friendly
feelings toward us and know we'll our
power and good intentions. There is,
doubtless. a large faction in Cuba
| which would welcome annexation to
this country, and doubtless there as
| mere Is d StIlcTdl letliiS tHdt IL
the American flag goes up again on
Cuban soil it will go up to stay. II
the present affair comes to crisis
where American intervention is neces-
sary, as now seems likely, it is very
| probable that the island will not be
| given another opportunity to indulge in
experiments of self-government. Hav-
ing made a failure this time, it would
surely fail again, and with each failure
| the island would be taking a step back
ward with disorder and violence be-
coming chronic and the industrial and
! commercial interests suffering more
and more. The dream that Cuba would
he an integral part of the United States
IS over a century old. and If Cuba
| makes a failure of this opportunity to
govern Itself that dream will in all like
lihood be realized. If annexation comes
it will not be, therefore, the result of
| American greed or as result OF
/ broken pledges on our part, but because
the welfare OF Cuba demands it and
because such annexation would be the
best thing for all concerned.
