Concerning Sheep.

(1dtn ANVIL
Dan Mac made bull when he got
to talking wool.
He tried to make Democratic votes
out of the fact that there are fewer
sheep in Maine now than when the
Dingley bill with its tax on wool was
passed. He had not, apparently,
looked uD on this subject. and did not
know that the price of wool today is
from two to three times what it was
Just before the Dingley Jaw was en-
acted, and that during the same pc
riod the number of sheep in the coun-
try had increased more than 100000
1t can scarcely be true that the Maine
farmers have given up sheep raising
because they can get three times as
much for wool as they did under the
Wilson law.
The only connection we can figure
out between the enactment OF the
Dingley law and the evident fact that
sheep raising has been largely diSCon-
tinued in Maine Of late is that the Re-
publican tariff has made the other
products of Maine farms so much
more profitable that the farmers have
preferred to devote their attention to
other things than to this particular in
duStry which is three times as profit
able under the present regime as it
was when the Democrats were last in
power.

Minnesota,
(New York SUM-


The Hon. John A. Johnson has been
renominated for Governor Of Mnne-
sofa by a hysterical convention ap-
parently composed of frugal and far
seeing Democratic officials who want
ed to retain their jobs. The governor
himself had emphatically declined the
distinction. He has already served
two terms and 1t is quite possible he
understood that while the Scandina-
Wan voters may have elected him
governor through the pride and af-
lection born of common blood and
racial attachments they could hardly
be counted on to imperil the national
ticket for the sake of that highly
honorable emotion. At any rate it is
notorious that he rejected the intend
ed compliment and every indication
points to the surmise that he was in
earnest. Evidently he much pre-
ferred the independent role Of cam
Daigner to that of an anxious aspirant
hammered bv personal interests and
Immersed in unwelcome responsible
ties
Tt is not to be expected that Mr..
Johnson's new candidacy will exert
the smallest influence upon the ma
tional contest. The chances all are
that Minnesota will go Republican by
a larger majority than ever.

Names Prosperity Under tho Dngley

The Journal cannot point to any
period since the adoption Of the Ding
ley tariff nor since the beginning Of
the present high tariff regime. when
Maine gained 80 rapidly as in that
same period of low tariff and reciproc-
ity with Canada.-Lewiston Sun.
Most certainly the Journal can and
has done precisely that thing. We
have shown by indisputable figures
that the eleven years since the Ding
ley law has been in effect have been
ABSOLUTELY the most prosperous ones in
the history OF our State.
In 1897, the last year of the Wilson
tariff law, the people Of Maine had in
the savings banks. trust companies
and loan and building associations of
this State savings to the amount Of
$67,535, 4S3. In 1907-as shown by the
last report of the State bank examin-
tariff. they had in the same institu-
tons savings to the amount of slls,-
512, 4OO-a gain Of s5O,976.9S7 under our
present protective tariff law.
This is absolutely the greatest gain
in money at interest-which is usual
ly regarded as a pretty fair barometer
of prosperity-that has been made by
the people of our State in any similar
period of it's history. These savings, let
us remark in passing, were not the ac-
cumulations Of wealthy citizens who
were able to invest in stocks and
bonds. They were the savings of the
people of moderate means, who find in
our savings institutions the most con-
venient and safest repositories for the
sums-large and small-that they are
able to lay aside for rainy day A
net gain of interest bearing savings in
ten years under the Dingley tariff
law! Match it if you can Mr.. Sun.

The Result in September.
cortland AdvertiSer.)


The Republican campaign in this
part Of Maine virtually begins on
Mondcy next when the big rally will
be held at the auditorium. From now
on until the second Monday of Sep
TENDER, we shall have the usual ex-
citcment and the usual arguments
The reports which are being received
from all parts of Cumberland county
amply justify the expectation that
the election will result in an old
time Republican majority. OF course,
the Democrats are making loud
claims. That is to be expected. And
they are running an aggressive CAM
paign hut there are signs that they
are not at heart particularly SAN
guine of success at the polls. Cum
berland county is normally Republican
and the Democratic successes of the
past few years have been due to the
action of Republicans but it is be-
coming evident that the party is
again united and that means Demo-
cratic defeat. 1t goes without the say
ing that the result in Maine In
September is of more than state i'm
portance. Perhaps it is no longer
true, as it may once have been, that
as gees Maine so goes the Union, but
nevertheless. the eyes of the nation
arc on this northeastern corner of
the United States and the result
here will be awaited with interest
That is an additional reason why the
Republicans of Cumberland county
should not fail to do their full duty
when election day rolls around

What They Stand For.
Bangor News.)


The time has arrived when things
should be called by their right names.
There exists the strongest kind Of
presumption that all laws Were
enacted for the purpose of being en-
forced. Meantime evidence is over
whelming that every good citizen
should uphold an enforcement Of the
law, whether he believes in the JUS
tice of the law or otherwise. Stated
on broad grounds, Bert M. Fernald
stands for decercy and good morals
and for law and law enforcement,
while Obadiah Gardner stands for the
open saloon. for the debasement of
the community and for retrogression
from the ideals of civilization. Oba-
diah Gardner is fully as good a man
as Bert NJ. Fernald. His character is
without a blemiSh, his intentions are
honorable and his aspirations are
high. But by consenting to become a
candidate for Governor on the plat
form manufactured In Waterviile, he
Is obstructing the course of civil and
moral progress in Maine. He is
asking Maine voters to let our State
go back to the days Of the cave
dWellers. when every man was q law
unto himself and when brute strength
was the highest court of appeals
known to mankind.

Thus far that woman in Warren who
sent so cents to the Rockland Opinion
as a contribution to Rryan's campaign
fund holds unique distinction. Per-
haps if the Democratic dailies in
Portland, Biddeford. Lewiston and
Waterville would all publish Bryan's
appeal the Maine contribution in his
hehalf could be increased to an even
dollar. To be sure, the Warren
woman sent along a Bryan dollar, but
when Bryan calls for dollars he means
the 100 cent kind and not the kind he
advocated in his first campaign.

Speaking at the Winthrop Eepubil-
can meeting the other night, Leroy I.
Carleton said the people had been first
amazed and then amused by the say
ing OF the head Democratic mud
singer that the Republican nominee
did not know enough to be Governor
of Maine. But that is giving the mud
Singer credit for being more widely
read than it is. Most of the People
would not have known anything about
il if the papers had not given it cir
culation.

Mr.. Bryan fought shy of the tariff
question in his first two campaigns.
He evidently deludes himself now
with the belief that the people have
had time to forget the narrowing re-
suits that followed in the wake of the
infamous Wilson bill, which he bore a
conspicuous part in passing; but in
this he is mistaken.

The Democratic campaign Of Cal
muny gees on. FalsehoOd, misrepresen-
tation and personal insult and dispar-
agcnent are the last resort of cause
that il shy of real arguments. Such
methods, however, carry no weight with
the tair minded voters of any political
party. 1t is to be noticed that no Re
publican paper has yet started any
canards on Mr.. Gardner. Should there
he published any story of a personal
character concerning his private con-
versations and he should deny it, no
Republican paper in Maine would be
mean enough to reiterate the false
hood. They would regard such
a course as very small, and
very dirty politics. They would be
broad enough and fair enough to ac-
cept Mr.. Gardeners statement of fact.
They certainly would not pursue him
with an exploded falsehood, for the
purpose OF making political capital.
The use of campaign canards by any
political party is pretty good proof
that il has no real arguments to
present to the voters. Mr.. Fernald and
Mr. Swascy are gentlemen in every
way as honorable as Mr.. Gardner. No
knows them would question for
a moment any statement they
might make. In the face of this we
leave it to fair-minded voters whether
the reiteration Of falsehoods concerning
what they are alleged to have said,
ami which they have clearly denied
and which rest AT best upon what
someone heard some one say that he
heard some one else SAYS the kind of
a campaign that the decent voters of
Maine, Republicans or Democrats
will approve. 1t is the dirtiest kind Of
cheap ard dirty politics-such politics
as the campaigns in this State have
been happily free from for a number
of years. The Republicans of Maine
have criticised Mr.. Gardner in his at
titude upon certain public questions;
but it is to be observed by all fair
minded citizens that not yet has he
been called upon to deny a campaign
canard or been subjected to coarse per-
sonal cal-inny and disparagement. His
political opponents have not felt that
they could in any way aid the great
cause they advocate by descending in
to tho muck and miro of personal
abuse and SANDER. We believe that
attacks OF this character hurt no man,
and that both Mr.. Fernald and Mr..
Swasey have been strengthened in this
campaign by the disreputable methods
of political warfare that some of their
opponents have seen fit to descend to-.
