TOBACCO IN MAINE.
Mr.. Pope Gibbs Of Chelsea Raises His
Second Successful Crop.

1t has apparently remained Cor
Pope Gibbs to demonstrate in his own
garden, situated about a mile from the
Soldiers Home in ToguS, that tobacco
can be successfully grown in Maine.
Last year Mr.. Gibbs raised about so
pounds of tobacco from 10 plants. This
year he raised very nearly the same
amount from only 35 pounds, the sea-
son being much more favorable for the
growth Of the plant. Mr. Gibbs had
no difficulty in dispOsing of the tobac-
co which he raised last year and which
was generally conceded to be of eX-
cellent quality He cured it in mis-
barn, which has ventlator and whele
by opening the doors he was able to
get the current Of air necessary for
the best results, the conditions being
quite as favorable as in the best to-
bacco curing plants of the South. The
opinion was very generally expressed
last season that While Mr.. Gibbs was
successful in raising tobacco in this
State it would not be possible to ma
ture the seed here. This year he has
disproved this idea by maturing to-
bacco stalk more than seven feet high
with an exceptionally well developed
cluster Of seeds. This stalk is now on
exhibition in the window of the Jour
nal office and has attracted much at
tention. Mr.. Gibbs is very confident
that tobacco can be raised in the State
of Maine as successfully as il
is raised in the state of Connecticut
and apparently the results that have
attended his efforts in it's cultivation
would seem to confirm this view Of
the matter. Not only was Mr.. Gibbs
successful in raising tobacco the pres
ent season. but he also raised a guam
tity of perfect hemp from seed which
was sent him from Wisconsin. He IS
confident that this crop also can De
grown successfully and prohtably in
the State of Maine

But we need also a liberal party.

naturally progressive and should
have share in the majority party.

should be ir power. But that has
not been possible in this country.
l think that at present l am one

Well. for many years, We liberals
have had no party. We tried the
democratic party but when 1t came
into power 1t proved to be under
the same control and the same In
terests as owned the republican
party. And those interests are con-
sentative. They are very con-
sentative, they are tories.
They have q right to be tories,
but they have no right to have two
parties. 1t Is not good for them
tot have two parties. The forces
being co-powerful have abused
their power. They raised up the
public opinion which created Theo-
dore Roosevelt. And he is liberal.
And he tried to make the old tory
republican party liberal. 1t was
hard to do it, but he fought hard
and he won his fight. But he didn't
complete his work. He made the
party do liberal things but he did
not make it true liberal party as
the result of the convention shows.
He made the party bow to labor.
to the consumer, to the negro, to
the common good, but it promises
of progress are nil.
1t would have been better IL the
platform had been more explicit.
| If the party had only plainly said
that it stood for things as they are.

The republican party is a con-

every conservative vote with the
republicans. They can make the
party serve the people well if they
will. But let those of us who want
to go on to the solution of the next
problem, let us 60 forth looking for
the liberal party.
Let us go to Denver and see
what the democratic partisans
promise Let US see If they can

! il they will win. BY this we will
see whether there is or there is
not, a liberal party.

HEAVY LOSS BY
HIDDEN BLAZE

A fire which broke out at the
mattress factory of the Carmen
Manufacturing Co. early this morn
ing destroyed about $4,000 worth OF
property. Soon after midnight the
nightwatch discovered a small
blaze which seemed to have start
ed from spontaneous combustion.
He thought he extinguished it, but
the blaze only smoldered in the
oakum and piles OF old rags. At 5
o'clock it broke forth and people at
the Great Northern depot, a stones
throw away. turned in the alarm.
The loss sustained is principally In
machinery, which was warped and
ruined by the heat.
The factory will be refitted i'm
mediately. The company already
has completed the foundation of a
three story structure which Is to
be used instead Of the present ware
house firetrap. This new building
and the additional machinery that
will be required to replace the old
will necessitate an outlay Of about
$4,000.
