Bertram L. Smith, Esq, of Patten,
who was candidate for Attorney Gen.
eral in 1905 but was defeated by his
friend Hon. Hannibal E. Hamlin, the
present incumbent, has notified his
friends that he shall again be candi-
date at the next session of the legis-
lature to succeed Mr.. HamliD, who
will then have served the two terms
accorded by party usage. There was
no question in 1905, when Mr.. Smith
had the loyal support of many Republi-
cans, as to his qualification for the Of
fee to which he aspires, and there can
be no question now. The prominent
part he took in the legislature at the
last session must further commend
him. Mr.. Smith was born in Exeter
fifty years ago and received his early
education in that town, supplementing
it with courses in the Maine Central
Institute and Bloomfield Academy and
special courses under private instruc-
tors. He began teaching at the age Of
fifteen. He studied law with Judge

Col. Henry Watterson says that the
nomination of Bryan by the South
would be an endorsement of his revo-
lutionary schemes and would, more
over, insure the defeat of the party;
but evidently anticipates no other ac-
ton by the convention. There is plain.
ly a growing sentiment that Bryan is
the "Old Man of the Sea" of the Demo-
cratic party and that he is ready to
adopt any policy that will put money in
his purse or bring him political prefer
ment. His 16 to 1 policy now seems as
insincere as it was fallacious, and as
soon as he found that his advocacy of
government control of railroads was
not favorably received he dropped it in
favor of President Roosevelt's plan for
government regulation. His paper, con-
Quoted by Others and for which he is a
travelling advertisement, is making him
rich man, and i'll the political game he
has everything to win and nothing to
lose.

Chilly" Edwards, former light weigh

"Billy" Edwards, former light weight
champion fighter of the world, died
Aug. 18th at his home in Brooklyn, n.
y. A few weeks before Barney Aaron,
also champion light weight, had died.
Both men figured in the only fistic en-
counter the writer ever witnessed, the
first as an active participant, the second
as spectator and the writer as re-
porter. Billy Edwards and Sam Collyer
were the principals and the fight took
place in Maryland at point remote
from train or telegraph and reached
only by steamboat chartered for the
occasion. Thirty-seven rounds were
fought, and it was evident after the
first round that Edwards would get the
decision. He was then "a years old, a
clean-cut, unassuming young fellow,
with nothing in his appearance to in
dictate that he was a prize fighter. Dur
ing the twenty years he was Gin the
ring" there was never a question as to
strict integrity, and in later life, when
employed as special officer at the
Hoffman House, New York city, he be-
came well known as stakeholder and
in the Presidential election of 1888 is
said to have held over half million
of dollars. He was native Of England

Shortly before the adjournment of
the afternoon session of the American
Bar association in Portland Tuesday,
Judge Henry S. Dewey of Boston Great
ed a stir by offering a resolution con
tanning striking references to the ''un-
written law" and embodying what
might be termed articles of faith for
the legal fraternity of the country.
The resolutions, which were Indefinite
ly postponed" in lively order, are as
follows:
"The American Bar association, in con-
vention assembled, declares the following
articles of faith, namely:
"First-That the everything God is the
Supreme Judge of the world.
''Second-That this association teaches
that every good law is in harmony with the
unwritten law, so called
''Third-That the unwritten law, so call
ed, is the word of God.
'sFourth-That at the beginning of the
Christian era the Holy Judge, who was and
is both real and ideal, proclaimed the sum
and substance of the pure and true law of
government in the statute which is trans
lated in the authorized version of the Holy
| Bible, as follows, namely:
nOu Snalt love the LOru tny Gou Win
all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and
with all thy mind. This is the first and
great Commandment. And the second is
| like unto it, thou shalt love thy neighbor as
| thyself. On these two Commandments hang
all the law and the prophets.
"Fifth-That the real foundation of the
common law of England, so-called, is the
| unwritten law, so-called, and that this I'M
| written law is the real foundation of all
| good laws since the beginning of the world,
| the foundation of common law, common
sense, common justice throughout the uni
verse.
"Sixth-That mercy and justice are one
and inseparable and that it is the duty of
every good lawyer to work to the end that
all men shall receive merciful justice in
| court and in the country.
| ''Seventh-That for the support Of this
declaration, with firm reliance on the pro.
lection of the Divine Providence, the Amer.
lean Bar association pledges its life, its for
tune and its sacred honor"

SOMETHING ABOUT JOURNALISM.
As 1t Appears to the Veteran Editor Wat
terson

As 1t Appears to the Veteran Editor Wat
terson.
No vocation in life holds out so few real
prizes to young ambition as the service of
the daily newspaper. A few years ago
three young men in New York who had
attained the rank of managing editor joined
in magazine symposium upon journalism
as a pursuit, and each of them reached the
conclusion that it is well-nigh hopeless.
One may easily reel off the few persons
who have found fortune and fame as wri-
tiers for the press, to the countless myriads
who have toiled on poor pay to face at last
decrepit and unpensioned old age.
The glamor of journalism is not unlike
the glamor of the stage. The novice sees
the outside of the theater and marks the
gathering throngs. He enters the magic
hears the music of the orchestra. lie is
dazzled by the footlights. The curtain
rises upon very paradise of pasteboard
and grease-paint. The lion of the piece
struts his hour upon the scene. The poor
boy thinks it real. Back of the tlaring can
vas lie the shadows and lurk the sorrows.
All that glitters is not gold.
Newspaper properties are more and more
becoming, like the railways and the banks,
pure corporate affairs. Less and less does
the individual writer cut any real figure.
Whilst strong writing, backed by strong
character, will always count, the oppor-
tunities become fewer for the reason that
such writing must emanate from authority,
and this authority will not be delegated by
employers to employees. The founders OF
the great properties are mostly dead. Their
successors are multiplied by the laws of in
heritance and the custom of purchase. Who
knows who has succeeded Dana. at the
head of the New York Sun, or Raymond, as

When the automobile was under dis

1900 year. The news dealers make
profit of 81, 5O0,OO every year from
its sale. The smallest share of returns
goes to the newspaper capital. In :
period of ten years the New York
Worlds expenses increased 40 per cent.
and its earning power decreased fully
as much. Ninety per cent. of all news
paper circulation in New York city is
on the one cent basis. When the New
York World reduced the price of its
paper from two cents to one cent, it
gained &C, 200 circulation in three weeks,
but gave up 81 900 day, $312, 900 a year,
in revenue and added at lie st $500 a
day to its expenses. The most highly
prosperous newspaper in New York
city spends more than 80 per cent of
it's revenue in its operating expenses,
while most of the papers show deficits.
The newspaper percentage of profit is
less than that of any other manufac-
turing enterprise. Commenting on
these facts the Wall Street Journal
says:
Either a newspaper is to be con-
Quoted for profit or else it becomes
dependent upon some rich man like
Mr.. Pulitzer, who is willing to conduct
it for the power it gives him, or else
upon some rich man like Mr.. Hearst
for the political opportunity which it
affords, or else the newspaper must be
subsidized by the great corporations
like the Standard Oil company, and be
come not the independent organ of
public opinion, but the subsidized or
gan of corporation interest. This is
the greater menace.

Julius Chambers, a veteran newspa
per man, who has been everywhere and
seen or known everybody, contributes
some very interesting matter to the
Brooklyn Daily Eagle under the cap
ton of "Walks and Talks" In a re-
cent issue he discusses the political sit
uation and says, among other things:
Fifty per cent of the Democrats of
the country regard Theodore Roosev cit
as the stanchest upholder of the Demo
cratic principles who has been in the
White House since Jackson's day, and
would vote for him, were he renominat-
ed, in preference to Towne, Bryan or
any other party candidate; and in like
manner would an almost equal pro.
portion of Republicans-outside the
otfice-holding or office-inhuenced class
es-turn to Towne or an equally safe
Democrat if AMI untried but pronounc-
ed Roosevelt candidate he forced upon
their party.
Another fact, so apparent as to &C.
casion surprise, is that almost every op-
ponent of Grants denomination for
third term at the National Convention
of 1880 is to-day arrayed on the Roose-
welt banner and sees no objection to an
innovation such as would be his de-
parture from the policy laid down by
George Washington and the other
Fathers of the Republic
Followers of Roscoe Conkling still
living are anti Roosevelt to a man.
They are violently opposed to third
term.

In his address at the laying of the
corner stone of Pilgrims monument at
Provincetown, President Roosevelt adj
vocated national incorporation law,
and further emphasized his policy of
prosecuting violations of the law by
great corporations. The one sentence
of most Importance was as follows:
"Once for all let me say that as far as
l am concerned, and for the IS months
of my presidency that remain, there
will be no change in the policy we have
steadily pursued, no let-up in the effort
to secure the honest observance of the
law; for regard this contest as one to
determine who shall rule this free
Countrywide people through their gov
ernmental agents or few ruthless and
domineering men, whose wealth makes
them peculiarly formidable, because
they hide behind the breastworks of
corporate organization"

of the Methodist Episcopal church. He
will return to this city in less than

charge of the missionary work in the

was to take up work among the poor
people of the city that Dr. Bronson
gave up the wealthy and influential

nearly around the world, covering some
10000 miles. He is already on his way
homeward, having set sail from Kioto,

to arrive in San Francisco shortly. DR..

"A
American Cultivator starts with the
proposition that 1--WE have got to SUBJ
due the brush or the brush and trees
will subdue u.s." and continues:
Many farmers in moving their fields
leave few brushes under the walls
and fences, as they do not want to get
them mixed in the hay, and so they
often see large smooth meadows with
rim of brush a rod wide clear around
the field.
Ihave always found the best way to
get rid of the brush and weeds was to
cut them every year when we NOW the
grass, and rake them up close to the
wall. and when dry burn them up clean,
and in doing this you not only get rid
of the brush, but lots OF WOOdchuckS
and rabbits, and it makes the farm look
so much nicer that we feel more than
paid for all our trouble.
One of the things that the American
visitor to Great Britain cannot fail to
notice is the garden-like aspect of the
whole country. There is no brush, no
weeds, no tumble-down stone walls, no
neglected fence corners. The CORE
spondent above quoted might have
gone farther and said that in addition
to making the farm look nicer, an adj
ditional area is secured for cultivation
or moving while weeds are eradicated
that would otherwise spread over the
field. There is an equally good argu-
ment in favor of clearing up on the
roadsides, which too often are left to
grow up to weeds and bushes. We re-
member some years ago case in point.
A man whose field bordered on the
highway, had removed the old stone
wall, cleared off the bushes and weeds
and after planting one year out to the
| travelled way-which he had perfect
right to do-had seeded the strip down
