CONGRESSMAN LittIefeId's Resignation.

Congressman Littlefield's letter of
resignation came as a complete
surprise to the people Of his district
and State, although for several years
the rumor has occasionally gained
circulation that he would leave Con-
grcss to resume his law practice.
That his retirement will be a distinct
loss to the public service of Maine
goes without saying. When he went
to Congress a decade ago as the sue
cessor of the late Nelson Dingey he
quickly won national recognition by
his broad grasp of public questions,
his exceptional skill in debate and his
fearless independence. Rarely does
new member in Congress forge to the
front as he did and once at the front
strenuous attempt to defeat him for
recollection two years ago only demon
strated the high esteem in which the
people of Maine hold him and their
pride in his brilliant and faithful work
at Washington. His reelection this
year would have been q matter of
course Thus it is that not only the
people of the second district, but those
Of Maine as whole, sincerely regret
his retirement to private life and
especially that his retirement prob
ably means his removal from the
State to one Of the great cities. Their
best wishes will follow him to his
new field of usefulness, and it re-
quires no prophet to predict his I'M
qualified success in whatever he
undertakes.

The Deaths in the Senate.

During the past few months the
death rate among the members Of tho
United States Senate has probably
been higher than ever before in the his
terry Of the body. Within year no
fever than seven senators have died.
five Of them during the present win
ter. This number includes several
members Of exceptional prominence
and long service. and curiously enough
includes both the oldest member and
the youngest member OF the upper
branch Of Congress. Six of the seven
were from the South. The latest to
die. Senator BRYAN of Florida who was
appointed only a few weeks ago to
succeed the late senator Mallory, WAS
one of the youngest men who ever en-
tered the Senate. being less than 80
years of age. and his term of service
was one of the shortest in the history
of that body. The similarity of his
name to that Of the Nebraska Democrat
of greater fame gave him much more
prominence when he went to Washing
ton than he would otherwise have re-
ceivcd, but of course his term of ser
vice was far too short for any demon
stration of his legislative capacity.
The seven members of the Senate who
have died within the past year include
the two veterans Morgan and Pettus
OF Alabama. Mallory of Florida, Lat
liner of South Carolina, Proctor of
Vermont. Whyte of Maryland and Bry
an of Florida, whose ages ranged from
"a to 81 and whose terms of service
ranged from third of century to a
few short weeks.

What the President Has Done.

In the April number of the New Eng
| land Magazine there is symposium
on Roosevelt's presidency, with opin-
ions expressed by a score of eminent
men representing all six of the New
England states The articles are all
| along the line of enthusiastic and en-
| phatic communication. Some of the
| writer's express themselves i'll few
para graphs while others require sew
cral columns. One of the shortest
contributions, and yet one of those
which say the most is that of Presi-
dent Hyde of Bowdoin College, Il
writer famed in the world of education
and letters for his exceptional ability
in putting things in terse, epigram-
matte, mcaty form which stays in the
mind. Here is the way in which
President Hyde, an independent in
politics, condenses whole volumes
about Roosevelt into a few short par
agraphs:
Theodore Roosevelt is the President
of the whole nation, North, South,
East, West; of all classes, black and
white, farmer and manufacturer. miner
and ranchnan, soldier and sailor, en-
plpycr and employee. He has a Wig
orous and ardent personality which
speaks straight to the hearts OF the
people. He has done things when OBJ
StaclcS to doing them, and excuses tor
not doing them, abounded.
He has prepared for war: rromOt
ell peace; and maintained the most
cordial good will with all other ma
tons. He has Contended for Federal
regulation of natural and artincial
monopOlies-as against radical, ncon
sistcnt and confiscatory legislation by
the separate States on the one hand.
and the exploitation of stockholders,
patrons, employees, and the public,
through rebates, determinations, jug
gled book keeping, complicated secur-
ity issues, manipulation, and imitation
by directors responsible to no one but
themselves, on the other hand.
He has defended the fair competi-
ton Of thrift, industry. and enterprise
against the efforts of monopoly to first
XIII competition ana lnet force tle
public to pay dividends on fictitious
capital, reckless management, and eX-
travagant expenditure.
He has stood for the protection by
law of all the innocent. and the pun
ishmnnt by law of all the guilty.
III" is binding our two coasts to-
gether by the Panama Canal. He is
protecting our forests, developing our
waterways, fostering irrigation, and
defending the actual home-maker
against the land-SpeCulatOr.
"On the tariff alone he has followed
his party instead of leading the coun-
try: and hero cxpedicnCy probably re-
quired poStrOnement of this issue ii he
was to have a united party to grapple
with the newer ISSUES he has raised.
He has vacCinated the business in
tercStS of the country, producing local
and temporary inflammation; and he
has saved us from what Plato calls the
worst evil that can bcfall man or
state-tO have disease and escape
paying the penalty to the physician

white stripes was displayed by WASH
ington while in camp at Cambridge
early in 1716, but in the corner where
the stars are now placed there was the
Union Jack of England. The Stars and
Stripes, or the American flag as we
now know it, was adopted by the Con-
tinental Congress June IA, III, almost
two years after Arnold's expedition
through the Maine wilderness. 1t is
said that Paul Jones was the first to
raise the nav flag over a naval vessel
and the first use of the Stars and
Stripes on land was at Fort StanwiX,
August 6, 11T. The first use of the
flag of the stars and stripes came into
Brandywine So we see that it was
nearly two years after Major Bigelow
climbed the mountain which now
commentaries his name before the
flag of the stars and Stripes came into
existence. 1t is interesting to note in
this connection that when Major Bige-
low and his men returned from the
summit of the mountain to the main
body of the army he reported that
with his glass he could see plainly the
walls of Quebec.
