When last winter the President
urged Congress to consider the adj
visibility of retaining title to the
few Oil and coal lands which the gov
eminent still owned, leasing them on
roy atty basis, whereby the operator
would derive fair profit for his en-
terprise and services, while the people
enjoyed by means OF the royalties the
bulk of the profits which had been
given the nation in it's stores OF SUBJ
terranean wealth, he was condemned
as little short OF an anarchist. And
yet, had this policy been pursued
years ago and the valuable lands from
which the Standard has pumped its
untold gallons Of oil remained the
property Of the government, the
United States would to-day be $3.50, :
O00, 900 richer, while $s00, 900, 900 in
taxes would have been saved to the
people from oil profits alone, to say
nothing of the vast profits which
could have been made in the form of
royalties from the great coal fields,
title to which long since passed to the
coal trust.

Only . week more, and the great music
festival will be on for the eleventh season.
Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Oct. ., 1
and 5, are the days. The world-renowned
opera star, Calve, is the leading attraction
this year, sud with her will come galaxy
Of artists that has not been excclled dur
ing the life Of the festival.
There will be five concerts--Thursdsy,
Friday and saturday evenings, and Friday
ard Saturday afternoons.
The advance sale Of season tickets has
been larger than ever before, and the
single seat sale, which began last Monday
morning. indicates that all records will be
broken.
Some confusion has been caused by the
change in the prices of this years tickets
and also by the incorrect announcement
Of prices for the different concerts. Fol-
lowing is correct list Of prices:
Calve concert Saturday night, with
reserved seat, si.50, goo, 500; other
evening concerts, reserved seat, 400,
$50, "; matinee ticket, reserved seat, 70
cents, q. 90, ESQ; admission to Calvc con-
cert tno seat securely, 100; general
admission to other concerts tno sat -
cured) 50 cents; admission to CAlve
rehearsal Friday morning, adults q, stu-
drnts Of public schools, and children, 50
cents; admission 10 rchcarsals Thursday
or Saturday morning, Is cents.
In spite Of the depletion in the member
ship OF the Ellsworth chorus, about the
same number Of singers - usual will
attend the festival.

A recent poll of the New England
states, made on intelligent lines,
showed q total OF 2s9 votes for Secre-
tary TAFT for President, as against 1879
for Hughes, eight for Fairbanks, six
for Knox and fifteen for Cannon,
while Mr.. Taft was also the second
choice Of eighty-three republicans
who naaled the President as their first
choice. As the President will not
accept another nomination, these re-
pubiicans will also vote for Taft, Civ
ing him total of 1872 votes out of a
total OF $40 cast. The returns are
somewhat surprising to some Of the
politicians in Washington who had
supposed that in conservative New
England, Governor Hughes would
have made better showing. 1t is
noteworthy that this poll, in which
votes were solicited only from promi-
nent republicans, including many
ministers, was made by newspaper
which is an ardent advocate OF the
nomination of Vice. President Fair
banks.

There is q growing sentiment in this conn
try In favor OF medicines At ksotra com NOS
tson. 4 Is but natural that one should have
some interest in the composition Of thai

Recognizing this growing disposition ON

fullest publicity can only add TO the weil-
earned reputation of his medicines, Dr.. n. Y.

lator; also OF his "Favorite Prescriptionr for
weak, overworked, broken-down, nervous and
invalid women. Iva
This bold and out-spoken movement on the
part 81 DR.. Pierce has, by showing exactly
what his well-kunwn medicines are composed
OF, completely disarmed all harping cities
who have heretofore unjustly attacked them.
A little pamphlet has been Compiled, from the

endorsements by leading medical writers Of
the several ingredients which enter into Or.

Hon. George Pottle, of the board OF
State assessors, says Maine has
made good progress in wealth during
the past ten years, and in no decade
during its history as State have the
town assessors' books shown such
uniform increase in valuation. The
assessed valuation Of the cities, towns
and plantations as made by the local
boards of assessors shows q combined
increase Of more than s72, SOC, 900
since 1897, and the valuation Of the
unincorporated townships has been
increased more than ~, 000, 900 dur
ing this period. so that the total
assessed valuation of the State is ap-
proximately ss3, oOo, 900, greater than
it was ten years ago.
