nomination, if rendered Us Repre-
sentative to Congress from this dis
trict has completely clarified the po-
litical situation in the two countries
This announcement has sheived the
long list of Would-b4 "SolOnS' from
Cumberland County for another term
at least, and the Congressman'S re-
election is only matter of few
months. The voters of the first dis
trict are fully alive to the fact that
the district is well represented and We
should congratulate ourselves that the
established rule of continuing faith
full servants in office is not to be abro-
gated. Congressman Allen has ever
been attentive to the wants of his con-
stituents and in so doing he has never
yet found it necessary to employ any
GRASSLAND tactics in order to retain
their respect.

Tho Office of public roads of the ma
tional department of agriculture, has
issued Il circular giving information
on the mileage of public roads in
Maine, with 4 statement of eXpendi-
lures for their improvement made in
1904-1905. 1t is true the facts in this
circular have before been given in the
annual reports of Hon. Paul d. Sar-
gent, the state highway commissioner,
but as presented in the condensed and
tabulatcd form of this circular they
are not only interesting but instruc-
tive and may be repeated to advan-
tage. Thus in 1904 there were 25,52S
miles of public roads in this State. of
which 1926 miles We're surfaced with
gravel and 81 miles with stone, making
total of 1923 miles of improved rOa'l.
1t will be seen from these figures that
nine per cent. Of the roads has been
improved. By comparing the total
road mileage with the area of the
State, it appears that there was
0.S5 of n mile of public road per
square mile of area. A COMPARE
son of mileage with population shows
that there was one mile of road to
| every - inhabitants. but only one mile
| of improved road to every 29S inhabi-
| tants. By comparing the total ex-
penditures with the total mileage of
public road and with the population
of the State. it is found that the funds
collected and expended for road pur-
| poses, including roads. bridges. side
walks and snow expenses, amounted
| to S51.6I per mile of public road. or
S2.12 per inhabtant

The Guests Of Peru.

The stop Of the American battle
ships at the Peruvian port Of Callac
finds them fully two-thirds of the way
around 20 San Francisco, and thus
far the long voyage which the world
has been watching with such great in
terest has been wholly without untow-
ard incident. Although Callao is the
principal seaport Of Peru it is a little
city OF only 10000 people, and the A.
90 men of the fleet who will get a
chance for shore leave there will be
pretty much the whole thing. However
Lima, the capital of Peru, is only
eight miles away, so near that the
two are practically one city and Lima
has a population of about 10000 peo-
pie.
Peru, whose welcome to our feet Is
such nospitable one, while not the
American republics. is nevertheless the
oldest in civilization and is probably
the foremost of all in friendship with
the United States. Peru has notable
traditions of antiquity as time is reck-
oned in tle New World, for the city
OF Lima was founded in 1873 by Fran
cisco Pizarro, and has had a contin-
uous existence since that time. In the
old days of the Spanish rule the court
of the viceroys in that city was one of
great magnifcence. Lima has suffered
severely several times from earth
qrakes, but the modern city is attrac-
lively laid out with many parks and
public squares. The city is some 500 feet
the ocean about eight miles away it
presents a most impressive appear
ance. Pizarro himself and several of
the later viceroys are buried in the
fine old cathedral at Lima. The uni
rersty IN this city, which vas char
tered by Charles V. in 1851. is the old
est III America. The population of the
whole republic of Peru is less than
that of New York City, though the
area of the country is one-ffth that OF
the United States. It's resources, al
though they were worked diligently by
the Spanish conquerorS in early times,
are still enormous and are varied in
character. The famous Oroys railroad,
described as. the most remarkable en-
guEccling feat in the world. starts at
Lima and runs 100 miles inland, cross
ing the Andes at an altitude of $1,000
feet. One incident of the visit of the
feet will be a trip of the American
naval officers over this remarkable
lire Such, in brief, is the place where
our great fleet will make visit for
about 10 days. cementing more closely
the lies of friendship which have al
ways existed between the two coun-
tries. Today CallaO is over 10000

Some Philippine Optimism.


Thomas F. Willard, traveller who
has contributed some notable articles
on matters in the Orient has a letter
in the New York Times in which lie
proceeds to make light of the fear
which many Americans express that
the Philippine Islands will forever
continue a drag upon this country. 50
much has been written and said about
the unending stream of gold which
must be kept flowing from Washington
to the archipelago in order to main
tain the machinery of government. and
of the danger of war which this
country is inviting by continuing in
control of the islands, that it is a
nositiye relief to read something from
the other viewpoint by one who has
intimate knowledge of conditions and
an analytical mind to deal with them.
Instead of the outlook being dark,
Mr.. Milard says the future of the
islands is most bright; that, contrary
TO the statements of anti imperial
lists" that they are a heavy drain up
on our finances, they are more than
self-supporting. And as to the howl
that is made every time the questions
of appropriating some millions of
dollars for the establishment of Il
naval base in the Philippines, it can DC
dismissed, according to Mr.. Willard,
with the assertion that the United
States would no more think of being
without such 4 base than of flying,
whether we held on to the islands or
let them go.
The writer makes the point that if
the Philippines are going to prove I'M
profitable to US in the matter of dol
lars and cents, how in the world could
we expect to induce another nation to
take them off our hands. Contrary
wise, if they are to be Il source of
revenue. why should we sell them? He
points out that two very important
American industries would be affected
by transferring the islands to Japan
for instance First of these comes rhe
hemp industry. The Philippines have
4 virtual monopoly of the production,
and the United States uses more than
half of all the hemp that Is consumed
in the world. The export duty on
hemp that comes to this country is
refunded which gives American
manufacturers a decided advantage
over all competitors. What if the Japs
got the islands, Up would go tariff
and Japan would become the center of
the hemp industry instead of She
United States.
The second industry in importance
is sugar-beet growing. There is
tariff which protects the business here,
but if it were removed there would
be no injury at present, as the supply
grown on the islands is not large
enough to affect Americans. In time
it undoubtedly would, and this is just
the reason il would be urwiae to allow
Japan to step in and seize the bust
ness With her cheap labor she
would be a competitor to be dreaded
by us. Mr.. Willard concludes his arti-
Gle with the challenge Numbered from
a pulpit by a Manila clergyman: we
will not be sold into Plagiarism" He
says to adopt the scuttie policy be-
lem is ignoring the fact that every
phase of human life is problem and
no one but a coward is afraid to face
them.
