WATSON ATTACKS BRYAN.
Saws His Platform Represents Disgraceful
Surrender of Principle.

SURRENDER VI EllASApAS'
In a speech delivered at Macon,
Georgia July 23d, Thomas E. watson,
Ponnlist candidate for President, made
a hitter attack on William j. Bryan.
He said: "You CALI yourselves Demo-
crats-Andrew Jackson Democrats
and Won have never stopped to nqulre
what are the principles for which An
drew Jackson and Thomas Jefferson
stood. You are asked to vote for Mr.
Rryan. and vet Mr.. Bryan's platform IS
one which Andrew Jackson would have
,purnad and Thomas Jefferson desplsed::
II represents diseraceful surrender OF
nrinciple. For eight years Bryan wore
every shred of clothing which Popullsm
had in it's wardrobes. In 1904 he aDan-
doned his Populist ralment and entered
zealously into the Parker campaign,
which he himself had denounced as
sell-out TO the Wall street element OF
the Democratic party.
SIN Denver he was absolutely IN des-
potic control of the Democratic party.
Whatever he wanted done was done.
Whoever he wanted thrown out was
bounced. The platform is just what ne
made it and that platform Is one OF the
most shameful abandOnmentS OF prln-
ciple that political history represents:
What right had he to demand support
of those citizens who are Democratic III
principle upon such platform as TINS?
And particularly what right mas ne TO
expect the support of the South: U pom
one principle alone can he nope TO get
it, and that is upon the idea that Inc
South is compelled to vote the Demo-
cratic ticket, no matter how offensive
in principle the platform may oe, nor
how much the candidate may Insult her.
"Mr. Bryan understands the helpless
ness of the South and exploits 1t to the
very utmost. In Southern States ne
must draw 156 of the 242 electoral VOTES
that are necessary to his success, anu
vet he has treated the Southern States
rs purely negligible quantity. i'll re-
turn for her 1856 electoral votes she gets
nothing-absolutely nothing. Inc piate
form recognizes no interest OF hets. ~
the South will follow me IN TINS cam
paign, revolving against the odlous con
ditions under which she is expected TO
serve Mr.. Bryan, she will at once re.
sumo her old place in the sisterhood OF
sections BeingInow;;a Democratlclasset
which can be counted on with certainty,
nobody regards her, pays any Afternoon
to her interests or thinks OF her reel
ings. Let the South become politically
uncertain and she will again become
politically great

Maine newspaper men generally are
congratulating Chester w. Robbins OF
the Old Town Enterprise on securing
the Republican nomination for repre-
sentative to the legislature. Two years
ago Mr.. Robbins sought the nomination
but was defeated, novel experience to
him, as he usually gets what he goes
after. This year when his opponent
was claiming victory of two or three
to one Robbins proceeded to get busy
and says that "the methods of a western
politician proved quite effectual. st.
Joseph's band furnished music and a
twenty minutes talk to the voters, af-
ter few weeks of personal work and
the assistance of friends, resulted in a
majority of 43 for Robbins" Moving
pictures were announced as an extra to
be given for the benefit of all the voters
after an evening of strenuous work,
whether he won or not, with the COM
pliments of Mr. Robbins.

Two Kinds of People.

No; the two kinds of people on earth l
mean,
Are the people who lift, and the people who
lean.
Wherever you 60, you will find the worlds
masses
Are always divided in just these two class
And oddly enough, you will find, too. ween.
There is only one litter to twenty who lean.
In which class are you? Are you easing

road?
Or are you leaner, who lets others bear
Your portion of labor and worry and care?

The Crop Outlook.

PORTLAND, Me-. July "a. Reports from
many of the towns of this section of Maine
show that the rain of the last few days and
more especially of this week made great
change in the condition of the crops.
Farmers say that with the exception of
the early peas, beans, berries and hay there
will be no falling off in the crops, and that
the fall feed will make up in some measure
for the cutting down in the hay crop.
The sweet corn is all right, potatoes are
looking well and the corn crop now promises
to be fully up to the average.

Liston p. Evans of the Piscataquis
Observer was a member of the Maine
Press excursion party to Aroostook
and has given an excellent write-up of
it in his paper. He says, in conclusion:
During the trip through Aroostook
county | was impressed as never be-
fore by the fact that Maine is great
big State and that Aroostook is great
big county. | am glad Piscataquis is
so near to it and that ArOostook meth
DDS are increasing the yield, and conse-
quently the value, of so many of our
1 farms. | was also impressed by what
the Bangor and Aroostook railroad has
done for the developing of Aroostook
county Swift speaks highly of the
man who can make two blades of grass
to grow on a spot of ground where only
one grew before but what can be said
of the men who make not only blades
of grass but big mills and villages to
grow where there was wilderness be-
fore? Aroostook people cannot realize
how much they owe the Bangor &
Aroostook for a development which
has but just begun.
This work of development, as MI.
Evans says, is only in its infancy, and
as it progresses it will add largely to
the progress and prosperity of the State.
The Maine Central has done, and is do
ing, like work for other sections, and
is bringing into Maine each season an
increasing number of visitors, who fill
the big hotels on the shores and at the
inland resorts, as we'll as countless farm
houses, camps and cabins. Yet the
Democratic candidate for governor
would impose such tax on the rail
roads as would prevent their further
extension, restrict their equipment, and
necesSitate cut in the wages of their
employees. A considerable portion of
the mileage is now operated at loss,
and must create business to become
profitable. 1t would be very unwise
policy to add to the burdens of the
railroads which are doing so much for
the State.

You sometimes hear an advocate of
license or free rum-and license practi-
cally means free rum-say that with
open saloons business would be lively.
No doubt it would be lively with the
law officers and the courts; but the
money that goes into the pockets of the
saloon keepers would be taken from
store keepers and from the families of
the men who waste their substance in
drink. In this connection the results
of no-license in Tulare, California, are
of interest. In April, 1907, the city of
Tulare voted dry, cut the law did not
go into effect until February l, 1908, at
which time the saloon licenses expired.
Since that date the sale of Intoxicating
liquors has been prohibited in the city,
The business men of Tulare report that
for the months of February, March and
April of this year their business has in
creased over that of the same months
of tie previous year from 25 to so per
cent. The post Office has been changed
from third class to a second-cla OF
fee, showing an increase in postal re-
ceipts. The population has largely in
creased, and the school reports show
very large gain in the number of pupils
over the previous year. and showing the
need of larger schoolhouse accommoda-
tions. The proposition of issuing $780,
900 worth of bonds was submitted to
the voters a short time ago, but was
defeated, because the people thought
the appropriation would not be large
enough for the demand. After few
weeks the proposition of $4,000 bond
issue was submitted to the people and
was promptly carried. During the first
four months after the saloons Of the
city were closed, there was only one
arrest for drunkenness; during the sa-
loon regime there was rarely ever
time when the city Jail was not full OF
boarderS.

The President is right, as usual, When
he says we should have first-class

may quote from "a History of the
United States Navy" by John r.
Spear: Let the facts speak. AS we
have had war or dastardly submission
to wrong when our navy was weak, and
peace when our navy was strong, so in
future shall we have war or humili-
alton, according as we build or neglect
our guns afoat." A navy cannot be
built in a day, and when one is needed
it will be wanted as gun is wanted on
occasions in the wild and Woolly west.

The author of "Peck's Bad Boy"
George W. Peck, one time governor of
Wisconsin, has been making a tour of
Maine in the interest of the rumocracy,
and is maintaining his early reputation
as humorist. He says that the peo-
pie of Maine live on Goldfish, salt pork
and potatoes, milk and apple sauce, and
that they go to bed at dark. He re-
cards the outlook for Maine as bad,
looking forward to the disappearance
of the lumber and the dwindling of the
shipping, when the people will have to
fall back on the factories, and these in
textile goods, he believes, are finding
serious competition in the south. He
also foresees season of potato rot,
which would be almost as bad as the
rot produced by Peck's pen.

STORM CENTRES
IN new ENGLAND

The combined efforts OF two disturb
anccs. one from the west and the other
from the south. gave New England a
storm last night and early today which
whiried about at velocities ranging from
40 to so miles an hour and resulted In
destruction both on land and sea- The
storm was heralded' however, so that
the damage despite the severity OF the
gale was not so heavy as usual.
Up TO noon today the only wreck OF
any description was the grounding OF the
Boston fishing schooner Beuma at the
end OF Cape Cod last night while she
was running into Provincetown harbor.
The crew was taken off without difficult
~. as the vessel was under the Ice OF the
cape at that time, but when the wind
hauled 10 the westward today the vessel
soon went TO pieces. The gale and the
high tide cut the beaIhes badly in the
vicinity OF Chatham and completely
changed the aspect OF the shore for
mary miles.
In Boston harbor. the schooner Clara
Donnell went adrift in the upper harbor
and grounded on Bird Island fats. II is
expected that she VIII be hauled Off
without damage. The centre of the storm
passed very close 10 Boston, about a.
m. today. when the barometer sank to
29s At S a. m. today the storm centre
was located some miles off Portland, Me.
