Candidate fernald.

The popularity of Bert M. Fernald
is amply demonstrated whenever he
appears in this campaign, and
wherever he speaks Republican
enthusiasm is aroused and Repub-
lican confidence strengthened. His
speeches last week at Alfred and Fry
burg were models of frankness and
convincing strength. He is one of the
common people, and a man whom the
common people like and trust. He has
been Is years a Patron of Husbandry,
but is not posing as Grange candi-
date" He has made a success of his
own business matters, has had valuable
experience in public affairs and his
absolute integrity has never been
questioned. Mr.. Fernald is an able
speaker and possesses most pleasing
personality. The more he can be seen
and heard throughout the State during
the next few weeks the bigger the Re-
publican majority which will be rolled
up September IA.

MAINE EDITORIAL COMMENT.
The Grange Vote.
Gath Anvil.)

The motive. or at all events ruling
motive of the Democratic managers
in selecting Obadiah Gardner to be
nominated for Governor at their recent
convention. was to utilize the popular
ity Of that gentleman among the Pat
rons Of Husbandry as a bait to in
duce the Grange as a unite to swallow
tie Democratic hook.
But there is no reason to believe that
the Patrons are as simple as our
friends CT the Democracy seemed to
think, OF that they will do otherwise
in this campaign than they always
have done. weigh carefully the issues
and candidates and each man vote ac-
cording to his convictions as to what
will be for his own best interest and
the best interest of the State
Mr. Gardner is no doubt popular
with the Changers. and was for many
years their efficient Master. Person
ally he is man worthy of esteem.
But these considerations will not lead

Comment,
Fighting Talk.
Chicago News.)


Mr.. Tafts speech of acceptance has
produced an extremely favorable i'm
preston upon the country. 1t is the
speech OF man of clear convictions
who expresses them with the serenity
of conscious strength. Further, this
candidate insists upon putting his op-
ponent upon the defensive. At the
start he looks like a fighting candidate.
Anyone who believes that Mr. Taft
has shown subserviency to President
Roosevelt by commencing so heartily
the policies of the present Administra-
tiOn--and that criticism is being made
by those who condemn the views and
the methods of the President-have
given very superficial reading to the
Cincinnati speech. True, Mr.. Taft de-
clares that the chief function of the
next Administration is to complete and
perfect the machinery by which may
be maintained the moral standards ex-
pressed in the reform laws enacted in
recent years through the efforts Of the
President. He makes it clear, how
ever, that the work thus outlined is of
enormous Importance.
If anything was needed to prove that
Mr.. Taft possesses a great and orderly
mind his speech should be accepted as
affording the desired proof

Opening Of the Campaign in Maine.


The tone of Mr.. Fernald's speech at
Alfred, Wednesday. the opening OF the
republican campaign in-that county, WAS
distinctive of the man. u
In one Of the sections of his remarks
Mr.. Fernald said that it was not MS
purpose, in this campaign, tc attack any
man on personal ground. If he could not
be elected without it, he should prefer
to take the consequence, rather than IN
dulge ir any such style of campaign His
speech, therefore, was an exposition OF
his purposes, toward the people of the
State
If there is any question In the minds of
any voter of Maine that. Mr.. Fernald is
free to act for all the people all the time
his opening speech ought to settle it for
all times. 1t is on a broad plane of dis
cussion. 1t deals with the four principal
issues of the State, at the present time.
1t is remarkable for its candor or the
chief issues Of the platform. 1t insists in
most emphatic terms that there is no
measure for the betterment of the people
of Maine, for which he will not stand and
for which Re will not labor. In short,
it is a manly, open, honest and respect

Fish for the Invalid.

Fish is a very valuable article of
diet: it is the lightest of solid food.
1t is less satisfying and less stimulat-
ing than meat, and for these reasons
is often ordered for invalidS before
they are strong enough to take butcher
meat.
Fish contains valuable minerals,
such as phosphate of lime, potash and
soda. which are all very necessary in
our diet, as helping to form and solid
ify bone.
In buying fish choose those which are
really in season and most plentiful, as
they are then in best condition.
Be most particular to choose per-
fectly fresh fish. The eyes should be
bright and prominent, the gills red,
the flesh firm and well covered with
scales. There should be little or no
smell, and that not disagreeable.
Haddock, plaice and sole as well as
Writings are perhaps the most suitable
fer an invalid. but often locality
hampers choice and soles are not cas-
lily got and are Il more expensive fish.
Halibut and turbot are also good
fish, and easy of digestion, but the
fiber of them is firmer. and they are
better cooked in larger pieces.
Cod is much less digestibe than
other white fish. When tough and
woolly in fiber it should be avoided
Oysters are said to be very digesti-
BILE, and are frequently given to the in
valids. but there are differences of
opinion regarding their value. They
arc certainly nutritious.
Herring mackerel and salmon are
not food for invalids.
Fish must never be underdone, but
always well cooked.
BOILED or steamed fish is the most
easy of digestion. Broiled or drilled
comes next. Fried fish is the least
suitable.
When the digestion is weak. fish is
better served without sauce of any
kind. A little cold butter may be al
loved.

whiting or sole, a pinch of salt. a
pinch of white pepper, a teaspoon

juice. Fillet the fish, unless bought
already prepared; wipe it with a
slightly damp cloth. Then cut it into
neat sized pieces: grease a soup plate
or muffin dish with little butter and
place the pieces of fish on this.

pepper, if it is allowed, and squeeze

OkIahoma's Freak Laws,

One piece Of the freak legislation in
which the Oklahoma Democrats in
dulged when they constructed that wild
and woolly state constitution of which
we have heard SO much, has already
come to grief. Attorney General Bon
aparte has ruled against the Oklahoma
regulation which in a way compels the
national banks in that state to insure
deposits. This state regulation is
something wholly outside of the char
ters of the banks and practically
amounting to a confiscation of the as
sets of the banks without just and de-
feasible reason. Attorney General
Bonaparte not only declares the law d
clear trespass upon the rights of the
United States regarding the banks
which had charters. but he also assets
that the whole principle Is unsound and
vicious, clearly setting a premium up
banks.
1t is sample of the freak legislation
in which Oklahoma INDUCED, and
many of its laws as well as many

Not only in this country but in Can
ada also there has been a large falling
of in Immigration this spring. In the
past six months the total was $4,000 as
compared with $4,000 in the CORE
spending six months of 1907. There is
plenty of room in Canada for all the
people who may come for many years,
and the immigration problem there is a
small matter as compared with that IN
this country, but the Canadian papers
make it plain that Canada is pleased
rather than otherwise to see fewer
aliens coming. Certainly there is no
mourning in this country over the
years smaller immigration.
