Maine is Fortunate.
(Calnden IIerald.)

(C1lilutn licfdli.)
There seems little reason to doubt
that our national congress Will, at the
special session to BE held in the COM
ing year, take up seriously and thor
oughly til. great question Of the re-
vision of the tariff. While all sections
of the country are of course greatly in
terested in this matter, we, in Maine,
feel that VIC have an especially acute
interest, located az we are contiguous
to the provinces and obliged 10 com
pete with New Brunswick in many
lines
rhe industries Of Maine are adcquate-
ly protected today under the proVi-
sions Of the Dingley tariff law framed
directly by one of Names members of
congress, The late Honorable Nelson
Dingley. Upon proper protection de
ponds to a great degree the material
prosperity of our great pulp, paper,
lumber, lime, cotton and wooden, and
general manufacturing industries, as
We'll az our fishing and agricultural in
terests. For this reason the residents
Of Maine have every reason to be
pleased with the selection Of Senator
Eugene Hale of Ellsworth as member
of the sub committee of the important
Senate committee on Finance. which
great committee will have great infu-
ence in the final shaping of whatever
tariff legislation may be enacted.
The selection of Senator Hale as a
member of this committee is an emil
nently proper and fitting one. The
senator from Maine has, by reason OF
his inherent ability and wide expert
encc become figure of national prom
inence and is universally recognized
as one of the leaders in thought ana
action in the greatest Legislative body
in the world. The eminence acquired
ny him has been Il source of pleasure
and pride to Maine and in the past has
often enabled him to care for our in
tcreStS in q most efficient manner.
That ne may be similarly depended
upon in the future. especially in the
matter of tariff legislation, is certain,
for, although he has become a great
factor in our national affairs. he has
never in the least neglected the inter
csts of his state and his constituency.
Thoroughly cOnversant with Names
people and Names resources and needs
he has always looked most carefully
after her advantage and we indeed
have reason to congratulate ourselves
that we possess 50 influential a man In
the United States Senate as is Senator
Hale.

AIIison's Successor.
Oath .AnVil.)

The death of Senator Allison of Iowa
on Tuesday advances Senator Eugene
Hale of Maine to first place and SEN
ator William p. Frye to second place
in seniority among the members of
the United States Senate.
This makes Senator Hale the proba-
BILE successor to several imnortant pos
itions vacated by the death of the
Senator from Iowa. The Maine man
will undoubtedly, if he wishes, become
chairman Of the Senate Steering Com
mittce, without whose sanction few if
any measures have passed the Senate
in recent years, and chairman of the
Committee on Appropriations. in many
respects the most important of the
Senate committees.
Both the Maine Senators took their
seats in March. 1881, Mr. Hale on the
4th and Mr.. Frye on the 5th. so that
each is now serving his 2Sth year.
Being men of exceptional ability and
wisdom, they have both occupied a
commanding position in the Senate for
many years. Both have shared with
Senator Allison his commanding influ-
ence. Senator Hale having been the
highest authority in Congress on naval
matters and Senator Frye on matters
apnertaining to the merchant marine
and the national commerce. The word
of each in his chosen field has almost
been law and gospel in both the Sem
ate and the House, and their prestige
has made it necessary even for the
executive departments to bow to their
mature judgement.
Senator Frye has for q long period
served as President pro tempore of the
Senate, and it now looks as though the
leadership OF the majority party on the
floor would fall to the lot of his dis
tinguished colleague. A proud distinc-
ton for this comparatively small and
remote State-the presidency and floor
leadership of the highest Legislative
body in the land or, indeed, on the
globe.
We are reapng the result of the good
old Maine policy Of sending splendidly
equipped men to Congress and keeping
them there as long as they are willing
and able to serve.
Senator Hale has now been repre-
senting Maine interests in the national
Legislature more than 80 years, and
Senator Frye 81. Senator Hale's term
does not expire until 1911 and his COL

Candidate Gardner says that he
should prefer the sale Of rum on

to the hypocrisy which he has person

He thinks wide open towns better than

everybody sell liquor without let or

because there will be no hypocrisy
The same argument might be applied
to all other laws. Men charged with
the enforcement of the criminal stat

From the Prairie States.

Since the beginnings of the 1908 CAM
paign it has been frequently stated
that both the result of the presidential
election and the continuance Of the eN-
ceptionally good times which this
country has enjoyed for the past de-
cade will depend largely upon the po-
litical attitude and the agricultural
conditions in the states of the middle
West and those just beyond that sec
ton. The Boston Transcript is pub
fishing a most interesting series of let
tiers from the centers of the country
containing answers to questions about
crops, business and the political out
look. These come not from the usual
political prophets, but from banks,
merchants, manufacturers and other
representative authorities. They are
from conservative men. who express
themselves in moderate language. The
latest instalment of these replies COW
ers the Prairie States-Kansas. Ne
hraska, Iowa, Minnesota and the Da-
kotaS.
From these reports and opinions we
get cheer for the future. Kansas mas
splendid crops ip parts, fair crops IN
carts and better than average crops on
the whole and better than in 1907. The
prospects for Improvement in business
are good. All the advices are to the
effect that Taft will carry the state by
a big majority.
Nebraska seems to be in fine shape
"Onr crop outlook is the very best. and
if nothing unforeseen happens we shall
have a banner year" says the report
from omaha, and practically every
business center sends news of bum
per crop and of improvement in trade.
AL! the letters say Taft will carry the
state.
Excessive rains have drowned out
some of the corn of Iowa, but other
wise the state is in superb condition.
Some sections report bumper crops.
while others are less enthusiastic. Crop
prospects are ahead of 1907. Better
business is expected, and Taft will car
ry the state by a very big majority.
This report sums up the score of let
tiers from Minnesota and the two Da-
kotas: Fall conditions and crop pros
rects were never better. The writer
within the last two or three weeks has
been in the States of North and South
Dakota, as well az Minnesota, and in
all three of our states the people are
very optimistic regarding conditions
| and have just cause for being So From
all appearances there should be large
| crops in all these states this year"
Crops better than 1907, business i'm
| proving and Taft in the lead-this is
the message of cheer which the Prairie
| States send to the country.

Mr.. FernaId on MIR. Hatch.

This year for the first time in the
history of the State the people are to
vote for State auditor, and the Re-
publican nominee is the gentleman
whom Governor Cobb appointed TO that
Office when it was created by the Leg
islature. Charles 2. Hatch is man
trained by years of experience in the
work to which he is now called in the
interests OF the people. We want our
readers to note what Mr.. Fernald has
to say OF Mr.. Hatch and his work. The
remarks are quoted from one of Mr..
Fernald's recent speeches in Western
Maine.
Il want you to vote for Mr.. Hatch
because he is as honest man as ever
lived, as capable man as ever held
public office in Maine and az faithful
and incorruptibla an official as ever oc
cupied an important office anywhere In
this whole broad country. He
had instruction to investigate every de-
partment fearlessly and freely; to cor
rect every evil he could discover; to set
himself on guard against every misuse
of public Office or public fund; to hest
tate at nothing that would stand for
the purifica ton of every department of
public service in this State. He has
found Il good many things-but this was
what he was appointed to do. He has
had the courage to call these to the
attention OF the public; to demand ana
enforce their correction and to stand by
his position against all criticism. Ana
my friends, the fact that he was re-
nominated at the great Bangor conven-
ton, June, Goth. practically by an over
whelming majority, speakes for the
Endorsement of this policy OF pub
lie reform. by this action, as
understanI 1t ana as ! esteem 1t my
duty to understand it, we declared for
the publication OF every department of
the service: for the adjustment of
every element Of tavoritism; for the
eradication OF every custom grown OBJ
noNiouS by over-cultiVatiOn and for the
col rection of every Vestige Of waste
and extravagance. which though small,
it may be, in individual instances may
become, in the aggregate a grevious
burden on the taxpayers of the
State"

1t is understood that Gov. Cobb Will
not take any part in the speaking
campaign He is not a stump speaker
and in his own campaigns made no eX-
tended speeches. He is interested in
the party and earnestly desires that
Mr. Fcrnald shall be elected by nig
plurality. Gov. Cobb is strong party
man and believes that it would be
disastrou to Maine to have Demo-
cratic congressman elected. He thinks
that change in the present tariff
would work harm to Maine interests,
and is. therefore. anxious for Re-
publican victory both in the state ana
the nation. Gov. Cobb tells the Com
mercal that he believes that Maine
will again give one of the old time
Republican majorities. Other leading
Republicans agree with the Governor
upon this proposition and set Mr..
Farnald's plurality at any where from
$4,000 to 10000.
