There is now hurrying through the

there is no lack of good evidence here
at home. that our New England
farmers are neglectns their opp"rtun-

in other lines. too. for that matter,

AS Il result Of its freak auti-r"iIr"ad
laws the new state of Oklahoma has
lost over 100000 of taxable property
since it was admitted to the Union.
That is, railroad construction to this
extent which was proposed before the
territory WAS admitted has been given
up on account of the hostility to rail
road corporations which animated the
minds of the constitution builders at
Guthrie. Oklahoma is paying high for
it's education but no doubt it will profit
by the experiences through which it is
passing and will discover that legiSla-
ticn which keeps out capital ana pre-
vents development of the state is too
expensive, To be INDUCED in even for

Death Of Col. Kendall
(POrtland PreSSl

In regard to the death Of Colonel
Lucius II. Kendall of Biddeford it is
suspected that the seeds Of the fatal
disease We're planted in his system
while in comamrd of his regiment at
Chickamausa during the Spanish war.
He went to the South in well nigh
perfect physical condition. While
there lie contracted malaria, and upon
his return his health became i'm
paired Ii is not the only death for
wnicn Chickamauga is responsible.
Many died there or came horne to
Gie. and many We're permanently inn
paire1 in health. The army has since
learned more about the sanitation OF
camps than it knew then, and it is to
he hoped that the lesson will not be
forgotten.

The conference of the governors and
delegates from the six New England
states is now in session in Boston and
the program is full of good things. So
many important matters are to be dis
cussed and 50 many able speakers are
to be heard at the conference that we
cannot help feeling the gathering will
result IN a substantial advancement of
the cause in whose name it was called
together The New England states
have many interests in common and
concerted action would be far better
for all concerned than individual eff
fort Much can be accomplished
along the line of unifying legislation.
especially legislation for the protection
of New England's natural resources

ference and This. State will await it's
results with special interest.

The newspapers of Pennsylvania are
giving cordial endorsement to the
recommendations of Governor stuart
that a state highway be built across
the keystone state from Pittsburg to
Philadelphia at n cost of Sc. 900, 900. That
is a big sum. to be sure. but Pennsyl-
vania can easily afford to eXpend it in
such good cause. Pennsylvania has
virtually no debt but on the contrary a
surplus of millions in the bank and in
resources and in real production OF
wealth it is leading all its sister
states The proposed highway will by
no means be simply pleasure road for
Pittsburg and Philadelphia mil
lionaires to speed their automobiles
upon, but it will be primarily a road
for the benefit of the people along the
line. especially the farmers in getting
their products to market.

that there viii be Il bill Introduced pro-
viding that there snail be change in
the care of The Daurtrs q. the State
and that instead of each clt% and town
caring for its own poor that there
shall be county poor farms established
in their places and that the expense be
borne by the counties instead of the
towns. This might be favorable fol
the smaller places but we doubt if the
cities would approve of this plan
There is little question but what it
would prove much more convenient
for tile small towns where there are
not Iaupers enough to make it prof
table to run a town farm but at any
rate 1t is proposition which has
many possibilities for an argument
and no doubt it Will como in forS its
full share if it is introduced.

Mr.. Bryan's Platform.

In address at Bonestee, South Dakota, the
30th of May, w. J. Bryan outlined the campaign de-
mands of 1905 giving to his hearers glimpse of the
platform that will be adopted at Denver. Without
celebrating on his theme, Mr.. Bryan said:
The democrats will ask for the election of
by direct vote of the people in order that may be
easier for the voters to control the government the
democrats will ask for effective legislation against
the trusts in order that the people may be protected
from monopolies; the democrats will ask for phys-
cal valuation in order that people may be pro-
tected from watered stocks and fictitious capitaiza-
ton, for until we know what the railroads are act
ually worth cannot determine what they should
collect in the way of transportation rates. the demo-
Gratis will ask for Cancellation of the differences
between labor and capital that these two impor-
ant factors in business may work tremendously to-
gether; the democratic party will oppose imperialism
which is violating the fundamental principles of our
government and is at the same time increasing our
expenses for army and navy; the democratic party
will ask for legislation, state and national to pro-
tect bank deposltorS and to prevent pancs the dem
ocratc party will ask for revision of the tariff
Mr. Bryan's outline of what the platform will be
does not sustain the report from New York that
Judge Alton B. Parker is to be chairman of the Den
yer convention resolutions committee unless the
Judge is much tanner this year than he was four year
ago.

The Tickler is another new device. It has been constructed at a cost of S2O,O ,OOO and is a novel riding affair.
 It consists of an inclined plane having a hard wood floor, on which is laid out a sinouus course or run on the outline of which are guard rails supported by posts and adapted to change the course of the car in one of the most sensation al, ticklish, merriest and safest rides yet devised. That it is whirlwind of fun expresses the truth but mildly.
 One of tie novel and unique attractions is "The Stinger. It IS veritable scenic and plastic magazine of merri- ment. From the very entrance, when the visitor passes the mammoth "Bee' adorning the outer wall, to the depart ure though the mouth of the glaring life-like dragon, the trip is replete with ingenuously surprising delights and mysteries which increase in vol ume and finally end by sensationally thrilling slide, the top of which is reached by an esculator all as safe as an easy chair. Still another new at traction this season and one that has cost mint of money to in tall is "The Mine" in the Grove. Three elevators are necessary to take one down, through and out of it. At the rate of mile a minute one reaches the third level
