purpose of training the feeble-minded

We can save lots of money if we do.
Let us do away with the assistance
| Which the State now gives the farmers
| through its agricultural department.
| We can save lots of money if we do.
Let us leave the browntail moths
and the gypsy moths to devastate the
State at their leisure.
We can save lots of money if we do.
Let US strike our colors to contagious
great white plague. do away with the
state Board of Health and revert to
Jacksonian simplicity.
We can save lots of money if we do.
Let US stop State aid in the improve
mcnt of State highways. If farmers
and automobilists wish useable roads
let them build them themselves.
We can save lots of money if we do.
Let us cease to stock the lakes and
ponds with game fish. If summer
boarders consider a we'll stocked pond
an added attraction when choosing a
place to spend their vacation, let them
stock the ponds themselves or stay
away
We can save lots of money if we do.
Let US cease to supervise the man
agement of State banks. If they run
wild. the people can keep their money
in the old stocking.
In fact, we will lock up the State
House and throw the key into the
Kenncbec, if we follow the Democratic
program to its logical conclusion. But
do the people really wish to do this?
Do they wish to reverse what has be-
come the established policy of the
State to deal literally with every
worthy interest?
The Republican party assumes that
the people wish nothing of the sort, but
on the other hand that the people wish
to do more rather than less to bring
the burden of public obligations
upon the whole State rather than upon
the individual municipality.
The town Of Pennington or the coun-
ty Of Franklin could scarce afford to
establish and maintain the Pennington
Normal School, but the State can and
does and that whole section of the
State is thereby benefited. The same
argument will hold throughout the list
of State expenditures, for what the
state gives it tries to give for the ben
eft OF all the people. Year by year the
state has been doing more and more
for the general veal.
1t will continue to progress along
such lines until the people order halt
and say they want no more money
spent for schools, for charity, for good
roads and for the dozen and one other
things that go to make up the States
expense account.

The Democratic press charges that
in 1907 the railroad commissioners
Cost the State $12.396." They did not
cost the State one cent. Their salaries
and expenses are paid by the rail-
roads. Every we'll informed taxpayer
knows this, and still it is by such
statements that the Democrats ex-
pect to fool the people.

The table shows that in the years Of
Democratic victory, or when the con-
test was so close as in 1876 as to re-
quire extra constitutional means to
decide it, the Republican plurality in
Vermont has fallen below $4,000. That
was in 1884 and 1892. 1t may be only
a coincidence. but we accept the omen.
Mr.. Bryan might as well give it up.
He is not the child of destiny.

Sunken Steamer Appears

A slight change in the chan
mel Of the Missouri river three
and a half miles east of this
city has brought TO view thc
full outline of the hull of u
steamboat that in ante. bellum
days was one of the finest
packets that piled the Mis-.
souri, river from st. Louis T.
ST. Joseph.
This was the Timour Nc. 2,
which blew up ut the spot
where the hull is now TO be
seen, killing IA dozen or more
people, and burning TO the
waters edge after the explo.
sion. The boat landed at a
wood yard to replenish its
stock Of fuel and a number OF
passengers and some of the
crew had gone To the shore
else the death list would have
been greater.
Nearly all the material used
in that part Of the hull visible
ut this time is Walnut wood,
and u scheme on foot here Ia
excavate the entire hull for
the salvage of the valuable
timber.
During the past few weeks,
parties of curiosity seekers
have been doing some eXcavat
ing in Il small and desc. utory
way about the remains of the
Timour No. 2. One of these
parties found a dozen pocket
knives of a make popular fifty
years ago. Others unearth-
ed sore chinaware and crock
cry of different kinds, aud
door hinges of a curious pat
tern. Others found tools,
axes, ETC., all in good state of
preservation. Jefferson City

A Long Nap.

Spokane, WASH, Feb. IT,
DR.. WA. Egbert, a p~racticing
physician in Spokane, has just
awakened from a sleep of 312
hours, during which a dozen
of the foremost medical men
in eastern Washington failed
to arouse him. While the
happenings Of the Is days are
as q blank Tn him he came out
|of the sleep refreshed and
with q cleared vision and a
healthy appetite, declaring al.
so that his heart action Is bet
ter than II has been in Is
years. The case 10 one Of the
strangest known to the pro
fession In the northwest.
DR.. Egbert retired at the
usual hour the night of Jan.
|26, occupying a couch in a
room adjoining his Office. He
was found on the floor the
following morning by Walter
H. Thomas, who shares the
suite. Failing to arouse the
sleeping man Thomas called
Capt John Gray, a member OF
the city council, who summon.
ed several physicians, among
them Drs. d. G. Newman and
e. L. Ingersoll, but their ef-
forts were of no avail. DR..
Egbert remained in a coma
tose condition until the night
of Feb. /, when he was con.
veyed to st. Luke's hospital,
where 10 physicians worked
over him but were unable to
awaken him. On the evening
of the thirteenth day the ply.
sician literally jumped from
the bed and asked where he
was. He was discharged a
few days later.
