A Vanished "ssue,'

In the campaign of two years ago
the Maine Democracy endeavored to
make the people of Maine believe that
they were burdened by an inquitous
load in taking care of the fish and
game interests of the State. We hear
nothing about it this year. And why?
Because even the Democracy some
times knows when it has exhausted all
the scare there is in a fake.
Until they began to investigate for
themselves, some of the people really
believed that they were getting the
worst of it in regard to the inland fish
cries and game Investigation showed
them, however. that they were not pay
ing a cent for the protection of big
game and that all the money which the
Legislature appropriates for the fish
and game department goes to the fish
hatcheries and feeding stations. The
game warden service is paid for out OF
the license fees received by the State
from those who come to the State to
hunt big game Not dollar of the
State appropriation goes for the big
game side of the fish and game depart
ment.
Fish Matching for the purpose of re-
stocking the public waters of Maine
has heen too long settled policy OF
the State to be attacked by any party.
Indeed, nothing 50 pleases the friends
Of fish propagation as a chance to
make the people of the State better ac-
quainted with what is being done.
Every pond that is stocked with
game fish means not only good fishing
for those who live near at hand but the
coming of fishermen and Summer
boarders who will bring money to resi-
stocked pond is now recognized
throughout the state as an asset of no
small proportions and the State will do
more instead Of less along these lines
in the future.
Fish propagation has been going on
in Maine for nearly 40 years and the
State today owns and operates nine
fish hatchcries in eight counties. They
represent a valuation of $4,000 and
their joint product of fish, if sold in
the market, would yield $780, 900 annual
ly. But put into the lakes and ponds
of Maine the annual return is far great
err 1t is hard to place a reliable esti-
mate on what these fish arc realty
worth to the State but those who have
canvassed the situation thoroughly
say that 100000 is none too large.
Is it any particular wonder, in view
Of these facts, that the Democracy has
ceased to harp on the burden of the
fish and game department to the state
Daily Kennebec journal., 1908-08-14

A few years ago when the muck
rakinR frenzy seized certain magazines
one of them published series of arti-
cles on "The Treason of the Scnatc." In
which the late Senator Allison of Iowa
was featured as a multimillionaire who
had amrsscd his wealth while in public
life. The will of the departed senator
was real Tuesday. and it appears that
his estate is worth less than $100.000-a
few pieces of Iowa real estate and odds
and ends-not a dollar in the securities
affected by legislation in which sena-
tors are represented as traflicking. And

mittee on appropriations Senator Ali

MAINE EDITORIAL COMMENT.
The Bluff Behind tho Man.
(Portland ExpresS.)


In it's anxiety to get Republican
votes for Obadiah Gardner one of the
Democratic papers INDUCES In half
column of fulsome praise of the candi-
date, declaring that he is the candidate
of the people. and that his election VIII
not be party victory. The paper III
question will be the first to rejoice over
the fact of his election from party
standpoint, if it should happen that he
is elected, though this will never hap
pen. The attempt to make it appear
that Gardner is not party, but the
peoples candidate. will never succeed
in deceivins anyone. The people kno"
that he was chosen by the Waterville
ring. with the very thing i'll mlnu
which the newspapers quoted suggests,
namely, an effort to make the people
think, that he does not represent alt
the evils Of the Democratic party.

South in Next Congress.
Baltimore American,)

On or about the 1st of September Chair
man Hitchcock, of the Republican Nat
ional Committee, will hold conference
at Atlanta with Southern Republican
leaders and a similar conference a few
days later at Nashville. He is under the
belief that important inroads can be
made into the approximately solid DEM
ocratic representation which the Southern
States have been electing to successive
Congresses; be is. therefore. proposing to
wage a vigorous campaign in certain
congressional districts scattered through
various states lying east of the Missis-
sippi River and extending from Maryland
to Texas.
The last three congressional elections,

Gated a very decided tendency in many
Daily Kennebec journal., 1908-08-14

There is no question that the tariff
will be revised at the next session OF
Congress. The only question along
this line now before the people OF
Maine is this: Do they want it revised
by a party which believes in protect
ing American industries and American
labor or by a party which favors Tree
trade? Maine Democrats have noti-
fed the country at large that they are
going to carry two of Names four
congressional districts this fall; but
the people of Maine who know on
which side their bread is buttered VIII
rally at the polls in September ana
show the country that Maine stands
for the protective principles. Nationa'
issues force themselves on the voter $
attention at the September election
and the-rrttcn wiz be~keenfy inter-
ested to hear what Maine has to say.
Daily Kennebec journal., 1908-08-14

The organ of mud and mirth In its
latest button-bursting effort presents
the argument that obadiah Gardner
is not really the Democratic candidate
for Governor. but that he is sort OF an
independent non-partisan. peoples
candidate, simply endorsed by the
Democracy. Isn't it rich? Could Bill
Nye or Artemus Ward or Josh Bill
ings have done better than that? But
the chuckles Of the Watervllle dynasty
which baited it's hook with the Gard
ner candidacy will be in a wholly diff
ferent key when it realizes that the eA-
pected suckers are not biting.
Daily Kennebec journal., 1908-08-14

While the Democrats are not claim
ing the state with quite the assurance
that they did two years ago. it must
be admitted that they are work
ing their biennial bluff with a fair
semblance of sincerity. Candid Demo-
Gratis. however, have grown tired of the
old prediction song and frankly ad-
nit that Mr. Gardner cannot possibly
hope to poll so large a vote as was
pclled by Mr.. Davis. inasmuch as the
people of Maine have never had any
use for w. J. Bryan, and clearly rec
ognize the fact that vote for Gard
ner would be vote for the Nebraska
man, who is the real leader OF the
Democratic party in this campaign.

Those Missouri Democrats.

(KansaS City JOurnaL1
1t is gratifying to Republicans that
the loud and insistent charges OF
election frauds now heard in all parts
of Missouri are made by and against
Democrats. SO far as the Repup-
ljcans are concerned, the primaries
last Tuesday seem to have been fairly
and honestly conducted. Neverthe-
less it is to be regretted by all good
citizens that following the very first
trial of a law which it was slncereis
hoped would make elections cleanei
for all there should be such emphatlc
and circumstantial claims of frauds
Under the circumstances, these
crimes are doubly gross outrageS
against decent citizens and honest
voters
