The tendency of the grip to drive it's
victims to suicide has been recognized
since this country experienced its first
grip epidemic a score of years ago.
The city of Cleveland, Ohio, is now
getting an appalling example of this
tendency. Since the first of the pres
ent year the city has had over so sui
cides and the physicians agree in the
theory that the prevalence of grip dur
ing the past winter constituted pre-
disposing cause for this unusual num-
ber of cases of self-destruction. Not
less than 100000 cases of grip were re-
ported among the 100000 people of
Cleveland, and this disease. as most of
US know, leaves the patient in gen.
orally low state of health and in
clined to morbid imagination. Cleve-
land certainly appears to have had
more than its share of the grip.

A Democratic Prophecy.

"A Democratic correspondent OF the
New York Sun has been looking over
the field and makes a few predictions
as to the outcome of the 1908 presi-
Dental campaign. His conclusions
are not of the kind that are likely to
be given wide circulation in the Demo-
cratic newspapers, and even some
Republicans will generously grant that
close inspection discovers some
what pessimistic tone in them, but
they are nevertheless worth noting and
remembering. After looking around
the horizon in vain for some sign of
Democratic success in the next presi-
Dental campaign, this Democratic
prophet figures up the situation as fol-
lows:
"With the prosperity wave on hand

conditions of our country. the large in
dependent Democratic vote, / see no

Our sister republic of Mexico is not
so young in national life as we COM
monty think, and in three years more,
Sept. 16. 1910, will celebrate the
centennial of it's declaration OF
Independence. OF course Mexico must
celebrate such an anniversary in a
way crcditable to land which has
now taken it's place among the best
governed and most enlightened OF
civilized lands. Ordinarily such an
event has taken the form of a great
international exhibition, and at first
that was the form the Mexican cele-
bration was designed to take. Mole
recently it is said, at the suggestion
of President Diaz, the plan of an i'll
ternational exhibition has been
abandoned and instead movement
has been inaugurated to pledge every
city, town and village in Mexico to
signalize the centennial anniversary by
the Inauguration of some great public
work or works. If present plans are
carried out over 900 cities, towns and
villages will commence important
public works on the same day. The
total cost of the improvements now
contemplated will total up s100,000,000.
Each city or town is expected to he
prepared to inaugurate it's share Of
the work on the same day, and three
years time will be allowed within
which to prepare for the work and
raise the necessary funds. 1t is
practical and patriotic plan and makes
the exposition business, which has
been so overdone in this country, seem
like very small potatoes.

MAINE EDITORIAL COMMENT.
The Bath Celebration.
portland PreSS.)

What deserves to be classed as the
most notable event in the country this
week is the celebration at Bath Of
the tercentennial of ip-building in
America. 1t was wholly local en-
terprise, receiving no financial aid
from the State or from any outside
source, we believe, but depending en-
tirely on the generosity of citizens and
the aid of the municipality. 1t has
been carried out in very successful
and creditable manner. on a plan and
scale BETTING the Importance of the
occasion, and it reflects much credit
on those responsible for it's planning
and execution. At various times
and in various ways during the last
thirty years we Americans have been
celebrating historical events, such as
the declaration of independence, the
discovery of America. the acquisition
of the Louisiana territory and the ex-
rlOration of the far northwest. and at
the present time we are holding an
exposition to mark the third centen-
NAL of the first permanent English
settlement. - But this celebration at

Bath. though receiving no national
| notice or aid beyond the lending Of
some naval vessels and their COM
panies to help out the show, marks an
event of national significance and inn
portance such as would have warrant
ed asking something more substantial
from Congress in the way Of help. For
it celebrates not only the beginning
of the ship building industry but also
in way the planting Of an English
colony cOntemporaneOus with James,
town. All the more credit therefore
to the community which of it's own
motion and out of it's own resources
has done such a fine thing. The peo-
pie of Bath deserve unstinted praise.
One of the best PARTS of the cele-
bration, one of the most valuable.
though one of the least spectacular.
was the historical address delivered
by Hon. James p. Baxter. This is
evidently the fruit of much labor and
painstaking research. 1t brings to-
gether within readable compass and
in an interesting manner mass Of
historical data which otherwise would.
hardly have been available. In the
ordinary work of history the reader
statements about the planting of
the Popham colony at the mouth Of
the Kcnnebec. Bancroft, for instance,
dismsses it in less than three pages.
In his address. however, Mr.. Baxter
presents many facts of detail that are
new.t to most and that make the paper
of permanent historical value.
Between the Sagadahoc colony and
the jamestown colony there was the
difference between failure and sue
cess. Though mere than once near
to disaster, the jamestown settlement
managed to hang on and make con-
tinuous record but unlike most of the
early colonists Popham's men were
disheartened by a severe winter and
other hardships and abandoned the
undertaking the next year. Otherwise
we might now be holding national
exposition at Popham beach

new uniform for the American
traditions and blow to the poetry and
romance of the rolling deep, but a
change will doubtless be made. A
board of officers has been appointed TO
recommend changes. and the prevail
ing opinion is hostile to the present
costume. 1t is held by some officers
that the conspicuous attire" Of our
seamen has done much to prevent en-
listments in the navy. Surely there is
nothing elsewhere like the sailor suit.
Pancake hat, enormous collar, low
neckcd blouse, and faring trousers
make a uniform that, had it not been
made honorable by tradition, would be
simply ridiculous. OF course, the rea-
sons which dictated the general
changes in army uniforms do not exist
to such a degree in the worlds navies
No commander of a le-ship sup
poses that he can elude the enemy by
dressing his crew in khaki But the
design of the existing uniform is much
better suited to the comic-opera
chorus and to the small boys than to
the men who care for the great fight
ing machines of the sea.
