A Good Letter,

Roclland Courier -Gazetto.)
The Watervillc Sentinel has certainly
raised an issue this time. 1t prints,
two days in succession, the letter which
Treasure Hichborn of the Republican
state Committee has lately, sent to ac-
tive Republicans all over Maine, recit-
ing the Importance of the present cam
paign from a national point Of view.
and inviting contributions Of money
toward prosecuting that campaign Wig
orously. 1t is so good a letter that we
will print it in ful-our readers sener-
ally will be glad to see and endorse its
statements:
| know that you will agree with us
that the coming election is one of the
most important ever held in Maine. In
a special degree. the eyes Of the nation
are upon us. Republicans. everywhere,
are looking for Maine to blaze the way
for national victory in November.
To make sure Of this. the state COM
mittce is planning a campaign which,
for general effectiveness. it is believed,
has not been exceeded in this State for
years. 1t Will be n clean campaign,
free from all personalities, assailing no
mans character and questioning no
mans motive, bat confined strictly to n
discussion of the polices and princi-
pies OF the two parties. as evidenced by
their platforms and histories.
To meet the expenses that are neces-
Sary incident to such q campaign will
require q considerable sum of money.
The committee is totally without funds,
save such as are contributed by men,
who, like yourself believe that the
best interests of all the people are best
served by a continuation Of the policies
under which this country has grown
great and prosperous beyond compare.
Your willingness to do your part
prompts Inc to ask you to make such
contribution as seems best to you, and
to forward me a check at your earliest
convenience, in order that we may
know exactly how far we can go, in
carrying on the proposed campaign
A majority Of 10000 for f'ernald
means a walkover for Taft
This is mighty good letter, such as
Charles Hichborn is quite capable of
the attitude of the virtuous editor of
the Sentinel, he would have his readers
believe that there is something vile and
wicked in thus appealing to Republi-
cans for funds. We are sorry that the
campaign cannot be trun exactly to
suit the Sentinel man. We are sorry
that, though he discovers in the appeal

CHEMISTRY OF THE BLOOD.
Reactions Show 1t the Most Hered.
tary Thing About Animal Species.

A drop of the blood of Walrus
shows no relationship with a droI, of
whales blood, or of the blood of any
other Cetaccan, such as seals or por-
polscs, which, like the warus, are
mammals that have taken to the sea.
Instead of that, the blood of the wal
rus Immediately reacts with the blood
of horses, asses and Zebras, thus prov
ing that he is equine that no longer
crops grass, but goes where he can live
on an exclusively fish diet. Likewise,
the hippopotamus is shown to be a
modified pig.
Where a blood relationship exists,
but is distant, these reactions are pro-
portionatcy faint. but where no re-
actions occur there is no relationship
at all. Thus, geology indicates that
birds are descended from reptiles, and.
oddly enough, the blood of bird
shows distinct, though very faint.

The Trend of Political Sentiment.

The complete returns from the recent
Illinois primaries make exceedingly in
tercsting reading. They give Governor
Deneen a total of 213,315 votes and
Yates 199,943 The total Republican
vote in the State was 413,52S. The total
Democratic vote in the State was 49,
900. These figures are significant as
indicating with a good deal of accura-
cy the general trend of political senti-
ment, not merely in Illinois but
throughout the country
1t will be recalled that Illinois has
been one of the States which has been
persistently claimed by the advocates
and yet the primaries held there a few
days ago show a Republican vote of
AS 5zS and u Democratic vote of la, 900
This discrepancy is SO marked that it
must show to any intelligent observer
of events how absolutely unfounded
have been the claims put out by the
Democrats in the present campaign
Not only arc the Republicans stand
ing firmly by their party il this great
year of national election. but the fact
is very clearly demonstrated by the IL
linois primaries that thousands of con-
servative Democrats, unable to endorse
the candidacy of Mr.. Bryan, are acting
with the Republicans this year in sup
porting the candidacy of Mr.. Taft and
the policies of Theodore Roosevelt
Naturally enough, these men are MAX
ing little talk but they are going to see
to it thar their votes count in this cam
paien against the Nebraska candidate.
This is Why many thousands of them
here in Maine will vote for Bert NJ
Fernald at our September election, ap-
preciating full well the fact that a vote
for Gardner would be a vote for Bryan.
Daily Kennebec journal., 1908-08-24

DR.. Jones, the chairman of the DEM
1cratic State committee and member
of the national committee cheers up the
Chicago headquarters with the predic-
tion that I'VE will certainly cut down
the Republican majority" in Maine.
That is conservative in comparison
with the claims of Mr. Gardner and his
supporters here at home. They are go
Ing to carry the State sure.-Portland
Press.
NO one knows any better than DR..
Jones that the Republican cause in
this year OF great national election
is vastly stronger in Maine than it was
two years ago-that the drift is all that
way, and that the Republican plurality
will be considerably more than double
what it was two years ago.
Daily Kennebec journal., 1908-08-24

"Mr. Bryan as one of our exchanges
remarks. sis giving more publicity than
usual To his ardent desire for campaign
contributions"
There is certainly nothing objection
able in this. although one Democratic
newspaper in Maine has made n great
deal of the fact that the chairman of
the Republican county committee has
paign fund. Political meetings cannot
be held, political literature cannot be
sent out. nor the legitimate expenses
OF Il campaign met except through CON
tributions. Inasmuch as both parties
are carrying on this kind of work it
is to be assumed that both are securing
financial assistance from the members
of their party in the form of subscrip-
tons. and it is equally safe to assume
been solicited. Mr.. Bryan makes no
concealment of his can in this direction,
neither does the chairman of the Re
publican national committee. and there
is no occasion for any. Such calls are
entirely legitimate on both sides and
there is no occasion for criticism so
long as such contributions are lcgiti-
mately solicited from legitimate sour
Ces.
We do wish to take this OCCASION
however, to say that contributions lev
led on ana collected from men who are
conducting Il liquor business in viola
tion of the law may fairly he looked
upon as an illegal ana improper pur-
chase of immunity. when the response
bility for the enforcement of the law
rests upon an official from the party
which makes such collections of funds
for campaign purposes and who with
other candidates of his party would be
Immediately benefited by their cXpen-
diture. There is no defense among de-
cent men IN any political party. for this
method of building up a campaign
fund, either for use in 4 city. Il State,
or national election.

York Transcript: James II. Stark Of
Dorchester, Mass, writes to the Bos-
ton Transcript in protest against the
neglect of the old burial place at York
Village, Maine. This, he observes. is
one OF the oldest burial places in New
England, containing the graves of
many prominent persons in New Eng
land history, among which is that of
Chief Justice Stwall, who was in Of
flee for forty years, and 1t is directly
opposite the town house and meeting
house and alongside of the old Jail
now occupied as a museum by the old
York Historical and improvement AS
SGciatOn which makes the distressing
neglect of it more surprising, as its
condition is SO constantly before peO-
pie. What" says Mr.. Stark, must
be the impression on visitors when
they sec this Durying place with its rot

the place left open to cattle to trample
the graves under foot at will, with

stones having disappeared, as the ones
wiz do that are now lying around
broken off. The whole place was COW
cred with deep depressions where the
graves had fallen in. Such neglect is
more than a fault, it is crime. but
it will hardly be believed that this
state of things can exist in the center
of the town of Old York, as previously
described; but this is an accurate ac-
count Of how l found the old bury
ing place when l dropped here in my
