Wake Up and Get Busy.

Do the Democrats think they can go
calmly to sleep and carry Bourbon
county for the ticket in November? If
SO. they are badly mistaken, and the
sooner they realize this fact the better
it will be for the party. We deem it
our duty to urge the Democrats to not
be caught mapping. There is no doubt
but what the Republicans are better
organized for the coming election than
they have been for any election in
years. They seem confident Of victory,
and it is with the Democrats whether
or not they will win.
There is no reason on the top of
Gods green earth for a Democrat to
sulk because he was not for Beckham
and Hager in the primary. This paper
was against them to a finish, but after
they received the nomination we tipped
our hat to them and are now as strong
for them, or in fact stronger than we
were against them in the primary. If
We NCIC nOL IOI lllClii DOWg We WOQIu
not be Democrat and if not Demo
crat we would necessarily be a Repub-
lican, and God forbid such calamity
coming to our house.
If you vote for Wilson you are not a
Democrat and it is an insult to Demo
cracy to call yourself one. Take your
medicine, you grumhhng Democrats.
and go to work, how can you better
matters by voting for Republican.
With the State out of debt. new
capitol paid for, the penitentiaries
more than self-sustaining. eleemosy-
nary institutions on the highest plane
of excellence, no fraud or graft, and

with the present administration round
ing out its term with over a million
dollars in the treasury, what more
do you want? Surely you do not want
to Exchange gthis for Republican
promises? Wake up, and get busy.

Hobble Federal Judges.

The recent decision of Judge Loeb
ren, of the United States Circuit
Court, enjoiniDg the officers of the
State of Minnesota from enforcing the
law of that State in regard to freight
rates. adds new chapter to the usur-
patton of Federal Court. 1t will no
doubt have an effect contrary to what
was intended by it. In fact, it will
result in the introduction of bills at
the next session of Congress for cir
cumscribing the powers of Federal
courts by depriving them of ali au-
thority to issue wrlts of injunction.
habeas corpus. and prohibiting in
cases wherein the law of a State is
called in question. And it is not like
Iy that such measure may be enacted
into law. In 1902 the Democrats. at
Jefferson's suggestion abolished the
Circuit Court of the United States
created by the 9th Congress in Febru-
airy, 1901; and that precedent is receiv-
ing the attention of all Congressman
who favor the preservation of the re-
serve rights of-the States and trial by
jury. The next great struggle in this
country will be like the first-a strug-
gle against the usurpation of Federal
judges. whom jefferson so aptly de-
scribed as the sappers ard miners of
despotism.

During the year the receipts of the
society were s2S,5GO and for the 31st
year in succession is closed the year
free from debt and with a good balance
on hand. The work of the society is
wholly nuu-sectarian and its aim is to
carry the principles of practical Christ

immigration by laboring among the
newcomers. No fewer than three

OF this great organization of which an

The Source Of Those TeIearams.

We have at this Office for the inspec-
ton of anybody who cares to call and
see them, a letter and % cents in post
age stamps sent by the Portland Board
of Trade through it's president, Frank
3. Milliken, to a citizen of Lewiston.
The letter bears the date March 10 and
after stating the action Of the Senate
on the capital removal matter points
out that the matter will next come be-
fore the House and urges the recipient
Of the letter to wire his representative
at once to vote in favor of Portland.
The letter makes no mention of the
stamps which were enclosed with it.
but presumably this was to be used to
pay for the telegram.
We do not know how many such let
tiers were sent out, but as the letter
was in the form of a circular and as
this Lewiston gentleman is of no more
prominence or influence in his COM
munity than hundreds Of others are,
it is fair to presume that such letters,
each with stamps enclosed, We're
sent 10 great many people throughout
the State. There is no need to make
extended comment upon this letter. No
comment is necessary; the letter and
the stamps speak for themselves
Such are the clap-trap methods re-
sorted to by the desperate Portlanders
in their attempt to manufacture pub
lie sentiment" that will influence the
members of the Legislature. How much
weight will the members of the Maine
House give to kilograms which they
have received of late asking them to
vote for Portland, kilograms solicited
and paid for by the Portland Board of
Trade? We are confident that the
members of the Maine House will re-
sent the insult which such kilograms
offer to their intelligence and their
honesty, and will treat this latest
Portland device with the contempt
which it richly deserves

Those Seven Letters Again.

scores of letters are being received
by the Portland board of trade stating
that the writer's have either been mis-
represented in their statements which
they made to the Kenncbec Journal or
that since they have heard the other
SIDE they have changed their minds
and now favor removing the seat Oh
government to Portland"
The cheerful little lie quoted above
appears in big type among others OF
its kind in the latest advertisement
which the Portland boomers have in
serted in various Maine papers. Why
do we know it is lie? Because just
seven such letters as are referred to,
and only seven, have been published III
the Portland papers. Seven letters
from the S97 men whom the Portland
people have flooded with lying circulars

scores" of such letters have been re-
ceived, do you suppose their publlca-
ton would nave been suppressed III
Portland? Hardly. Those seven letters
have been worked to death by Port
land. appearing first III one paper and
then in another. sometimes in the edi-
torial columns, sometimes in the news
columns and sometimes among
the advertisements. But the grand
total is only seven after all, and when
the Portland people send out any such
statement as is quoted above they are
simply indulging in an absolute false

their whole campaign. Their methods
have doubtless fooled some people, bu'

was gum or an oil or a distilation
