"Definite Views"

(New York Tlibunc)
Mr.. Taft complains Mr.. Augustus
Van Wyck, eX-justice of the Supreme
Court of this state and nne-timc
Democratic candidate for Governor,
Mr. TAFT has done nothing and has
said nothing since his nomination to
mark him RS 4 strong man of de-
finite views"
Now isn't that too bad? 1t is a
world of pities that tho very day after
his nomination Mr.. Taft didn't pro
claim his belief that two and two
made four. That would have stamped
him at once as 4 man Of definite
views He should also have defed the
nations of the earth to confutc his
proposition that twelve inches made
one foot Thus he would have proved
himself a strong man.
As it is, Mr.. Van Wyck turns away
from his weakness and VaguencSS in
sorrow and despair and seeks cons5ola-
ton in contemplation Of the strength
and definite views Of Mr.. Bryan that
stalwart and adamnntinc statesman
who has never WaVered or changed
his attitude on any subject. and whose
views have never been for 4 single
moment a matter Of doubt.

Old Home Week.

New Hampshire towns are now max
ing final preparations for the Old Home
week celebrations of 1905 Old Home
week is Il permanent institution in this
Mar chester N. H., Union.
There is no doubt that Old Home
week as an institution has stood the
test of the years far better in the state
If its origin than in the other states
where attempts have been made to fol-
low the New Hampshire example.
Here in Maine the Old Home week
proposition, which was at first hailed
with such enthusiasm. has been the
year only two cities and only three or
four of the half a thousand towns In
Maine will make any pretense at indul-
.ying in an Old Home week celebration
BY act of the Legislature a week IN
August has been officially designated
as Old Home week-but how many
know which week it is? 1t is the same
in Massachusetts and other states. A
few great cities-notably Louisville and
Baltinlore-have made great success
of single Old Home celebration, but
wisely have not attempted to repeat the
experiment.
The Old Home week idea is Il great
thing and it Was never more alive than
today, but Old Home week celebrations
with pomp and parade, decorations,
band music, receptions and banquets-
expression of this idea. The Old Home
spirit, that which leads the wandering
sons and daughters back to the old
rooftree and the scenes of youth, has
beyond question been stimulated by
this Old Home week movement and 1t
is spirit which means much to New
England The former residents of this
section and their descendants from all
parts of the land. along with other
summer visitors. are coming in increas-
ing numbers and with increasing reg
ularity to the shores and lakes, the
farms and mountains of New England
but they do not relish an official and
formal welcome. They are glad to be
here and we are glad to see them, and
there is small need to say So each year
by means of proclamations, trumpets
bonfires and banners. The Old Home
season extends through the whole sum-
mer and it is a difficult matter to con-
fine its spirit and expression into one
week of August.
