There is an element, it is true,
in the Democratic party that does
not believe, and sicerely does not
believe that Mr.. Bryan should be
the Democratic nominee in 1908.
There is an element which be-
lieves that the party should unite
upon some one of its other dis
tinguished leaders, but this ele-
ment comedies that Mr., Bryan is
the popular idol Of the Demo
cratic party, the most popular
man in America today, and while
it may doubt the wisdom of his
nomination, it will rally as one
man to his support.
Any one who has observed the
trend of political events in the
nation during the past four years
naturally concludes that the
Democratic party will support
its nominee for president, who
unquestionably will be Mr.. Bry-
an, in 1908 with greater unani-
nifty and enthusiasm than ever
before. The very constitution.
the greatest charter of liberty
the world ever saw, will be the
paramount issue of that cam
paign. Mr.. Bryan will represent
the old, traditional Democratic
principle of constitutional, rep
resentative government, as op-
posed to the usurper now in the
White House, and the constitu-
tion of the Roosevelt principles
in national politics.
Mr.. Bryan will rally to his sup
port not only a united party, but
every lover Of liberty, every op-
ponent Of an Office holding oil
garchy. Thousands and count
less thousands Of Republicans in
every state in the Union win re-
pudiate the direction Of the polit-
ical affairs Of the republic by an
Office holding machine They
will repudiate Roosevelt and
Rooseveltism, and cast their bal
lots for Mr. Bryan, who will
make the campaign under an old
fashioned Democratic platform,
as the foe Of special privileges
and the avowed enemy of the
building up of an Office holding
class in this republic.

OF vastly more interest to the
country than the political rival
ries OF Oklahoma is the report of
the rapid growth Of the proposed
new state II the matter of its
population. The census returns
from the government canvass of
the two territoritories reveal the
fact that every section of the
state is sharing in this wonder
ful development. The popula-
ton of the towns and cities show
no greater proportionate gains
than the rural districts, and the
purely agricultural communities
are keeping pace with the oil and
coal districts. The reason for
this is apparent. Oklahoma S
magnificent resources, affording
the most promising inducements
for both the capitalist and the
homeseeker, are not surpassed by
any state in the Union, and the
people are now comprehending
the fact and availing themselves
of the advantages offered them,
Oklahoma is destined to become
an important factor as one of the
really great states of the Union

country could no longer absorb it at a
profit. the banks would return it to the
sub-treasuries and take back their
securities. There are many advocates
of this plan, which certainly has much
to recommend it. AS we have said,
however, the particular measure OF
relief that will finally be worked out
is not of special importance. All the
country desires is that it be practical
and adequate to meet the special de-
mands Of the crop moving period, or
any other conditions of temporary
stress that may arise in the transaction
of the country's business.
When such a practical measure has
been enacted into law, the country will
no longer look forward with apprehen-
sion to crop moving demands upon the
currency, and a money strlngency in
the midst of big crops and general
prosperity will be an utter impossi-
blity.

MAINE EDITORIAL COMMENT.
Diversified Farming.
(BelfaSt JOurnal.)


The AroOStOok Republican is q con-
slant and persistent advocate of diver
sified farming. In q recent issue it
says: There is not q newspaper in the
county that has not in times past,
editOrially or otherwise, contained
articles advising a great diversity of
crops. Potatoes are all right, and to
make the raising of this succulent
tubcr the principal crop is equally Ill
right. But it is our humble opinion
that when practically the raising of
everything else is neglected 50 that
more acres of potatoes may be planted
and dug is all wrong" While dis
claiming knowledge, except in d gen.
eral way, of modern farming methods,
the editor Of The Republican thinks
that if he We're to follow the profession
Of tilling the soil he would reserve a
little patch of ground for a garden, and
would have vegetables in season, that
lie would raise a little pOultry-enough
so he wouldn't have to buy eggs. and
would have at least one cOw-SO he
wouldn't have TO be dependent on some
one else for his milk and butter

The Recent Panic Spirit.

The Bath Trust company, which was
forced to suspend business for a short
time as the result of run caused by
the panicky feeling aroused in Bath
people by the New York financial sit
uation. is declared by the State bank
examiner to be in sound condition
with assets sufficient to meet every OBJ
legation and will at once resume bust
ness again. This is what was expected,
and it is a pity that Bath gave way to
the panic spirit sufficiently to embarrass
The institution. AIRY bank can be put
in very uncomfortable plight if Il
great part of its depcsitOrs rush i'm at
the same time and demand their
money. There is no question that our
Maine banks are all perfectly sound and
the savings .; the people are infinitely
safer IN their keeping than when taken
out and boarded at home.
Happily the panic spirit is no longer
in the ar but it is very fortunate. both
Tor the banks and for the depOSitorS
that the Bath experience was not dupli-
Gated elsewhere. Runs on banks are
often caused by the merest and most
absurd rumors, by intangible and UNI
traccable whsperings in the air, and
those who are Stampeded by Them and
who rash to the bank for their money
are sure To be ashamed of themselves
later. BY losing their heads they not
only injure themselves by losing the
interest on the money which they with
draw. but they also injure the safe ana
legitimate business of the community
Ii is fort unate that no other city than
Bath bad this unpleasant experience
during the brief and unnecessary per-
iod of financial unrest from which the
country is now recovering.

markable constitution of the new state
of Oklahoma and the conditions that
existed from the time of the great rush
of April %, 1889, down to the time of
the ratification Of this remarkable in
strur1ent. Unquestionably the growth
of Oklahoma and Indian Territory

comments of leading fnanciers OF the
country are to be credited none of
them are contemplating the invest

it's present organic law, with its
predatory attitude towards capital,

parently failed to note that the edi-
torials quoted from the Journal dealt

Oklahoma, but it is safe to say that it's
readers were more discerning.

were discontinued; finally about 1880,
perhaps, it was closed for the second
time in its existence. and stood use
less and neglected. In 1893 the
chapel" was fitted up for q gym
nasium And finally in 1900 it re-
ceived Il third metamOrphosis and be-
came q lumber and storcrOOm. But the
story seems about to have happy
ending after all For the lumber room
is today a thing of the past and West
brook Seminary will soon possess in
its stead "a distinctly beautiful chapel.
The historic building has been raised
to a level with Alumni hall; it has been
newly shinglcd, and it will be thor
Oughly renovated inside. The archei
roof will be sheathed and marked off
into panels, and roOmy entrance with
douhlc doors to Alumni hall will be
provided. The walls will probably be
furnished in green burlap with white
pIouldingS and ceilingS-the delicate
greens and white Of Wedgewood.
There will also be a new platform, with
a pulpit ana pews. When completed
the building will probably seat about
$50 and will without doubt be the
prettiest, most modern bit of the semi
n&ry'S equipment.
