Another Rally This Week.

Last Friday evenings splendid Re
publican rally at the Augusta City hall
was not the only good thing in this
lire which Augusta has scheduled for
the present campaign. That was the
opening rally, and the closing rally
will come just week later, on next
Friday evening, September II. It
will be at the same place and the local
interest which is now aroused in the
campaign, supplemented by the names
Of the speakers who will be heard on
that occasion, is ample assurance that
the hall will again be filled to its
capacity as it was last Friday night.
The speakers whom the people of
Augusta and vicinity are going to have
the privilege OF hearing on that occa-
sion are Senator j. c. Burrows of
Michigan and Hon. Frederick a.
Powers Of Houlton. Senator Burrows,
like Senator Borah whom Augusta
heard last week, is from the West, but
he is older in the public service and
his name is more familiar to the coun-
try at large Senator Burrows has
represented Michigan in the United
States Senate since 1895 and earlier
than that had served II years as a
member Of the House Of Representa-
tives. He is a native Of Pennsyl-
vanil, is 20 years Of age, is a veteran
Of the Civil War and gained repu
tation as one OF the leading lawyers
Of the Michigan bar before he entered
public life Senator Burrows mas 4
mastery grasp of the great national
issues and is an orator of much force
and eloquence.
Judge Powers of Houlton is Il broth
er OF the late Congressman Powers and
recently resigned mis- scat upon the
bench Of the Maine Supreme Court
where he had served for seven years
With distinction. Earlier than that he
was member Of the Maine legislature
in both branches and served the State
as its attorney general for four years.
Judge Powers will discuss State issues
in the frank ana forceful fashion char
acteristic Of his public addresses, and
can be counted upon to throw light
upon those matters upon which the
Democratic speakers and writers az"
trying to confuse and miSlead the Not-
ers of Maine, 1t Will be another great
rally and the Journal hopes that the
people Of the city will turn out in as
large numbers as they did last week.

A Few Thoughts for Labor Day.

This is Labor Day, the young but
popular holiday set apart at the close
IF the summer season to be celebrated
by, and in the name Of, the great army
factories ana shops Of the land. 1t IS
holiday in honor Of the labor which
conquers all things, the labor which
dignifies and ennobles life, the labor
which is the cornerstone of our nation
al progress ana prosperity. The holt
day has been observed only a few
years, 10 be sure, but it is now gcncr-
ally observed in this section of til"
Union at least, and is a holiday in
whose observance there is no little
significance.
Although the celebration of Labor
Day is non partisan and political,
and rightly so, yet, upon this day as
upon Memorial Day and independence
Day. there are some thoughts which
suggest themselves along the lines Of
good citizenship ana as to the rela-
tionS Of thu laboring man with the
govtrnmen under which he lives. Ana
Just 1T this time when Labor Day falls
in the midst OF an unusually active
ana exciting political campaign, any
intelligent laboring man can fully
realize how closely his welfare de-
ponds upon the use which he makes Of
his lullot. Election falls one week
from .oday ana since the working men
OF tie state are of course in the great
ma iority, they are the ones to decid"
what policies shall BE- endorsed. There
are relatively few in the employing
class and fewer still are those who are
drnn,s in the great hive of society.
The men who earn their bread by the
sweat of their brow control the politi
cal situation here in Maine as they do
throughout the land, and when they
cast their ballots next Monday they
cannot afford to forget the great re-
suits which depend upon the kind of
ballots they deposit.
The Journal asks the laboring men
of Maine to remember this: That un-
der Republican rule in the state and
nation greater progress has been mad"
and n greater degree Of prosperity en-
loved than ever before in any equal
period in any land upon the earth.
Never before We're there 50 many of
the comforts and even Injuries OF life
in the homes of the laboring classes
as AT the present time. The mills and
factories are busy throughout the
land and the farming classes are es-
pecially prosperous and favored Inc
temporary depression caused by the
financial furry of last fall caused hard
" any appreciate pause in the on
ward march of the nations industrial
life. There are no armies of the I'M
employed as in the days when the
Democratic party was in power, no
SOUP houses maintained in the great
cities, and no grim pail of panic and
depression, business stagnation and
financial failure hanging over the
land.
Undoubtedly it costs more to live
than it did a generation ago or a
decade ago. but the laboring man not
only gets the steady work and higher
wages with which to pay this in
creased cost of living, but he is also
putting more money into the savings
banks than ever before in the history
of the State or nation. Undoubtedly
the, lahoring classes Of this country are

This condition of things has come
about under policies to whose mainte-
| nance the Republican party is pledged.
The only periods of panic or depres-
sion in our history during the last half
century. since the Republican party
came into existence, have come about
when the protective tariff system was
attacked or endangered by Democratic
rule. Democratic success at the polls
this fall. or the tendency toward
Democratic success in the nation
which would be indicated by Demo-
cratic success here in Maine next Mon
day would mean another such indus
trial disturbance.
The Democratic writer's and speakers
IN this campaign are trying desperate
" to dodge the great national issues
involved and 10 make the voters be
lieve that only state and local matters
ara involved in the vote next Monday.
Now, the Republican party in Maine
has nothing To fear in Il fair and open
discussion of the state issues. 1t has
nothing to apologize Tor, but, on the
its mama cement Of state affairs and in
the policies for which it stands within
the state But the Republican party
alSo insists that the voters OF Maine
recognize the fact that national as we'll
as state issues are involved in this
years campaign. The laboring men
Of Maine must not allow themselves to
be deceived by the Democratic denial
that Il vote Tor Gardner is vote for
Organism involves. The Democratic
leaders are not to be blamed Tor seek
ing to confuse the voters along this
linz. nnr is it strange that in their talk
they always get as far as possible
away from the party record upon
laborinS matters as Well as upon all
Dthtf nldtlefS.
In the state, and in the nation as
whole. the Republican party has been

count of its advocacy of an economic

without shadow of friction between |
