From figures on file at the office of
the Board of State Assessors showing
the poultry census of the State. which
in accordance with law the assessors
are required to take once in five years,
it is learned that during that period
there has been a general increase in
the number Of poultry in Kcnnebcc
county during the period except in
geese which birds show a slight falling
off in numbers. The totals given for
KenAebec county for the year 1908 are

represent but portion of what has
been done by congress, and form
record of substantial legislative ach-

and most progressive thought of our
people.
'.It is urgently necessary, from the
standpoint of the public interest, to
elect Mr.. Taft, and Republican con-
gress which will support him; and
they seek election on a platform
which specifically pledges Ethe party
alike in its executive and legislative
branches, to continue and develop the
policies which have been not merely
professed but acted upon during
these seven years. ~
''The policies can be successfully
carried through only by the hearty
cooperation of the president and the

therefore peculiarly important that
there should obtain such harmony
between them. ..-z&;E5 -
@To fail to elect Mr.. Taft would
be a calamity to the country; and

ITO elect Mr. Taft, and at the same

this policy by every good citizen,
should be given. for this is far more

The Famous Golden Tip and the Way
IL Is Obtained.
The tea looked like golden floss silk.
like shredded golden satin, like the
fluff of dandelions dyed gold. And is
this tea?" said the reporter
.'This," the tea merchant answered.
sis the best tea in the world, and 1t is
worth $50 or more a pound. for this,
sir, is the famous Golden Tip. I'll tell
you why it is so costly.
Every chest of the best dollar and
half tea contains some handfuls of
undeveloped leaves of small, gold tip
ped leaves called Flowery Pekoe. Sort
out from a chest these leaves; wrap
them, a handful at time. in a square
of satin: shake the satin lightly; empty
the leaves back into the chest. Cling
ing to the satin remain a few golden
shreds. a golden fluff, a golden lint.
You brush it off carefully into a jar.
You Gull more handfuls of undeveloped
leaves from another chest. and. shak-
ing them up in the satin. you are again
rewarded with some more golden fluff.
'sThat is Golden Tip, and by the time
you have obtained in this tedious man

stuff shimmered like satin. ..Only EN-

TAFT, FORAKER AND HASKELL.

To the great advantage of Mr.. Taft,
we think, President Roosevelt makes
use of the letter that was written by
Taft to a friend in Ohio, at the time
it was suggested to him that if he
concede the reelection of Mr.. For
aker to the senate, the Foraker op-
position would be withdrawn to the
Endorsement of Mr.. Taft by his state
of Ohio Mr.. Taft refused to be a
party to such an agreement, which
would mean. the sacrifice of princi-
pies which had been laid down by
the administration of President
Roosevelt. Mr.. Taft himself, could
not with propriety dwell upon a let
Ter written by himself and which
shows him as unwilling to .compro-
mise with what he believes are
wrong methods for the sake Of tenn
porary advancement Mr.. Roosevelt
can properly, and does, use the letter
to show Mr.. Taft's answering devo-
tion to principle, even at the risk OF
the loss Of the support of his own
state in presidential contest.
The whole matter of the Foraker
letter does Mr.. Taft no harm, but as
it has turened out does him a service
for it stamps him as one of the Wig
orous opponents of the Foraker re-
gime in Ohio, at time when he
could have compromised with Fora.
ker to his own personal advantage
The American people will not charge
up to Mr.. Taft any delinquencies but
his own, and so far as its effect upo1
the campaign Of Mr.. Taft is concern
ed, the Foraker incident is of n,
weight.
Mr.. Hearst, in his attacks upoI
Standard Oil, and upon public mel
whom he finds to have been at vari
ous times associated with this cor
poration, infers that President Roose
velt has driven the Oil people ou
of the Republican party and that the.
are now seeking aid and comfort il
the Democratic ranks. The replie
of Governor Haskell of Oklahoma
treasurer Of the national Democratic
committee do not seem to be at al
satisfactory, and Mr.. Hearst repeati
that he is sure of his ground. Gov
ernor Haskell is said to be shapin,
affairs to succeed Senator Gore, VIII,
spoke in this city this week, and i
this is the case we do not beIiev,
that Mr.. Gore is shedding any no
tears over Mr.. Hearst's revelation
with respect to Haskell.

CAPE COD.
A Nomadic Piece of Land That Is Con-

A Nomadic Piece of Land That Is Con-
stantly Changing.
Cape Cod itself is sand and. like ev-
erything of desert nature, is nomadic.
Like the Arab. it is always silently
stealing away, SO that the appearance
OF the peninsula constantly changes.
The prevailing winds in the winter be-
ing from the north, the sand is blown
south; in summer it is blown t'other
way. But, the winter winds being
stronger, the land is gradually work
ing south. Monomoy5 at the lower end,
used to be an island, its extremity be-
ing called Cape Malabar, a name not
used now-why cannot say. This
island of Monomoy is rapidly growing
toward Nantucket, it having advanced
some five miles in the last fifty years.
One Of the Rubes told me that his
father used to fish where the light is
now. OF course you can always strain
Rube talk and pick out about so per
cent sediment, but the old charts show
that the point is working south fast
