Forgotten Organism.
CNew York Globe.)


The weather is hot-very hot-in
the west. Some sympathy may be
felt for Bryan as he sits on his porch
and struggles to compose that speech
of accentuncc. Perish the thought that
Bryan is stuck for words-that his YER
bal fountain has run dry. The trou-
BILE is of Il different nature. He can
not discover that there is a lively In
terest anywhere as to what he is to
say, and to man Of an oratorial tenn
permanent this is most trying.
The most salient thing of the cam
paign thus far is the amazing lack Of
interest in Bryan and Organism. No
one seems excited in favor of either-no
one seems excited against either.
Whereas twelve and even eight years
ago men We're shaking their fists in
one anOthcrS faces and the country
was turned into vast debating school,
now there is listless Indifference. Bry-
an is not able to stir up his friends, nor
is he able to stir up his enemies. His
candidacy does not show greater signs
Of life than did the candidacy of Judge
Parker at this time four years ago.
What has become. then, of Bryan's
popularity of which there was so much
talk before his nomination? The man
himself is as mild as milk, and his sup
porters seem wrapped in stupor.

Senator Hale.
portland PreSS.)

The greatest and most responsible of
the Senate positions is that of chair
man of the committee on appropria-
tionS, the committee that has to do
with the expenditure of a thousand
million dollars year. For a quarter
of a century Senator Allison had held
this position. 1t is noticeable that
thare is a general agreement that Sen
ator Hale is Senator Allison's natural
successor as chairman of appropria-
tions. and that he can have it unless
he prefers to remain where he has
been SO long at the head of the COM
mittee on naval affairs. Senator Hale
has now gone to Europe with other
members of the monetary commission
in pursuance of It's duty to investigate
and report upon what changes are
necessary and desirable in the none
tary system of the United States or in
the laws relating to banking and cur
rancy." The commission will have
enough to do between now and the
opening of Congress, but next winter it
will be necessary to reorganize the ap
preparations committee, and it will be
natural and proper. both because he
is the ranking member and because of
his fitness. for Senator Hale to step
to the head. In fact, in the last few
years and on account of his years Mr..
Allison had almost entirely given up
to Mr.. Hale the active floor leadership
on committee measures. OF the
knowledge of the complications and
mechanism of public administration
and public expenditure Senator Hoar
said some years ago it was "a knowl-
edge in which nobody else in the
Senate except Senator Hale of Maine
and Senator Cockrell of Missouri
could compare with Senator Allison.
Bat Senator Cockrell is a Democrat,
and besides he has retired from the
Senate and is member of the inter-
state commerce commission. That
leaves Senator Hale as the man partic-
ularly fitted to take the place.
1t is hattering to State pride that
the Maine Senator stands SO high in
public estimation, and it makes it go
without saying that he should be re-
elected at the expiration of his pres
ert term. Evidently the State of Maine
and the country cannot spare him yet

The Republican and Democratic Re-
cords on Trusts.

Candidate McGillicuddy has a good
about Trusts. He apparently over
looks the fact, which will not be for
gotten by the American people, that
all the legislation in restraint of
unlawful combinations of Capital We're
put upon the statute books by
the Republican party; that under
the administration OF Theodore
Roosevelt those laws have been
honestly and fearlessly enforced
and that Mr.. Taft stands pledged to a
continuance of such enforcement Of
the laws. In this connection a little
review of the records Of the Repub-
lican and Democratic parties on this
question of Trusts may not be out Of
place.
The Republican party took up the
matter in 1883 and stated it's position
i'm this language:
I'VE declare our opposition to all
combinations of capital organized in
trusts or otherwise. to control
arbitrarily the condition of trade
among our citizens" The Democratic
party was then in control OF Congress
and had on January 25th of that year
instructed the committee Of commerce
to investigate the general subject of
trusts, and report with recommends
tions William L. Wilson, Clifton r.
breckenridge and William D. Bynum
were among the members of that
committee They ostensibly devoted
much time and thought to the sub
ject, and voluminous testimony was
taken From October 1883, to March
1889, they We're given a clerk at Sc
per day to assist them in their de-
liberations And what was the result
of it all? After more than year of
alleged investigation the committee
made report on the printed testi-
mony taken. which closed as follows:
Your committee further report that
owing to the present differences of
opinion between the members OF the
committee they limit this report to
submitting to the careful considera-
ton of subsequent Congresses the
facts shown before the committee"
This was the way the Democratic
party in it's time of power and
responsibility lodged the trust issue.

The foregoing sentence is from the
report of the remarks made by Can
didate Obadiah Gardner at Lewiston
on Monday evening. II the people of
Maine saw fit to elect Mr. Gardner
they would elect him for term of
two years. What considerable
number of people" thought about him
thereafter would make no difference
in the duty which he would owe the

it would be a piece of folly and {:
cowardly desertion to abandon his
post merely because a considerable
number Of people, did not understand
the situation and We're disposed to
find fault with him. AS a matter of
fact. Mr. Gardner is indulging in
campaign clap trap. Such remarks
as that which is quoted are merely
political hot air. They are not cal
culated to inspire confidence in the
sincerity of the man who makes them;
rather they subject him to ridicule
not undeserved. Mr. Gardner is fond
Of referring to the people of Maine as

such as that which the Rockland
man has been making about what he

The Authority Of Courts.
philadelphia PreSs.)

The Democratic platform takes the
position that contempt of Court COM
mitted outside the presence of the
Court should be tried by jury. This
is pronounced by Judge raft as "a
proposal to weaken the Courts in a
manner unknown in the Jurisprudence
of England and America outside of
Oklahoma.
The Courts have no way to compel
respect for and obedience to their au-
thorty except by their present power
to punish for contempt. To take this
from them, or make it's use depend
upon the action Of a jury, is a most
pernicious proposition. 1t is a pro-
posal to subordinate the Court by
making it's authority dependent on the
judgment or caprice of jury. If a
Judge makes an order and it is
dsobeyed, that disobedience cannot be
punished under the rule proposed until
jury has heard the evidence and de-
cided whether it ought to be punished
or not. A witness who refuses to
obey subpoena. though his dis
obedience and contempt are fragrant
and manifest. must have the benefit
and delay of trial by jury, which
may or may not support the Courts
authority
A Court would itself become con-
temptible deprived of its inherent
right to punish summarily and
promptly those who flout and disre-
gard it's authority. The weakening of
the Court, the multiplication of the
means Of evading it's judgments and
escaping it's DEGREES by exceptions and
appeals and repeated reviews, do not
promote justice and do not even
promote injustice equally. 1t in
creases the resources of the skillful
lawyer to protract litigation and pre-
vent prompt and final decision of a
simple case. This does not benefit
the plain people. Men of wealth and
corporations of power are the chief
beneficiaries Of the inventions to pro-

Some Of our agile contemporaries IN
other cities, who are not quite WILING
to accept Bryan and what ne repre-
cents are engaged in bitter campaign
against Theodore Roosevelt for re-elec-
ton. They do not put 1t in SO MANY
words, but that is what it all amounts
to. They cannot swallow Bryan, they
cannot, indeed. do SO without swallow
ing their own bitter words, and they
cannot see their way clear to attack
ing Taft. Therefore, thae are assault
ing President Roosevelt with all the
force at their comamnd.
That is a new way of taking part in
a presidential campaign, and it is not
a particularly brave and impressive
one Theodore Roosevelt is not cam
didatc for reelection. Theodore
Roosevelt will be a private citizen at
ter March 4 next and he will have no
more authority than any other private
citizen. In all probability William
Howard Taft will be elected proesident.
If he should fail of election. William
Jennings Bryan would succeed Mr.
Roosevelt.
We can understand that by attack
ing Roosevelt some of our contempo-
raries in New York and elsewhere
avoid going on record in favor of or
against Bryan, but they do not fool
their readers. Moreover, they forget
that, today, no matter what may be
said of his sometimes impetuous meth
ods; Theodore Roosevelt is the most
popular man in the United States. If
it is the purpose of those not very art
ful dodgers to defeat Taft by attack
ing Roosevelt, they are overreaching
themselves. They will find it out ere
the campaign ends.

Writing in the Boston Transcript.
Frederick w. Coburn argues for a
complete change in American vacation
habits. His plan would completely
revolutionize vacation arrangements
as now generally accepted, but his
argument Is at least interesting. He
contends that the annual outing
should be taken at one OF the other
seasons of the year instead of in the
summer and he says in support of his
plea: "Consider the new comfortable
ness of the city in warm weather. The
habit of taking vacations only in July
or August grew up in days when
nothing mitigated for dwellers behind
brick and brownstone fronts the rigors
of desolating hot waves; when busi-
ness people wore more of starched
linen and heavier outer clothes than
now; when Saturday half-hoidays
and o'clock closing had not become
the rule; when evening automobiling
and trolley tripping had not been de-
veloped: when roof gardens and cool
playhouses had not begun to offer at
fractions and distractions. Philoso-
phers like Simeon Ford and Herbert
Copeland have before now written
encomia on the city as a summer re-
sort. Everybody should now and then
go away from the crowded centres;
but for many an urbanite there are
compensations in remaining near the
shadow of his own bathtub until the
frost is on the pumpkin"

The Use Of Flowers.

God might have made the earth bring
forth
Enough for great and small,
The oak tree and the cedar tree,
Without a flower at all.
We might have had enough, enough,
For every want Of ours.
For luxury, medicine, and toll
And yet have had no flowers.
Then wherefore. wherefore were they
made
All dyed with rainbow-light,
All fashioned with supremest grace,
Cpspringing day and night
Sprtnsing in valleys green and low,
And on the mountains high,
And in the silent Wilderness
Where no man passes by?
Our outward life requires them not
Then wherefore had they birth?-
To minister delight to man.
To bcautify the earth:
To comfort man-to whisper hope,
Wheneer his faith is dim,
For Who sos carcth for the flowers
Will care much more for Him!

For Congress, Frank e. Guernsey.

For Congress, Frank e. Guernsey.
BY the action of their convention in
Bangor yesterday afternoon, the Re
publicans of the .4th Maine district
Rave selected Hon. Frank E. Guernsey
of Dover as the successor in Congress
Of the late Llewellyn Powers. That the
action of the convention will be en-
dorsed by the people at the polls in
September there can be no question.
The district is composed 'of four solidly
Republican counties, and the nomina-
ton itself is one which will commend
itself strongly to the people OF the dis
trict.
There has been great interest
throughout the State in the contest for
the nomination, and the result will be
greeted by Republicans with general
and genuine satisfaction.
There was no lack Of good men to
select from. and although the contest
was a lively one while it lasted, it was
wholly free from bitterness and 1t
leaves no scars behind 1t is not un-
likely that Penobscot county could
have named the new member of Con-
gress had it's delegates been united
but being divided among the three
Penobscot county gentlemen, all
splendidly qualified, who sought the
honor, its chances were materially less
ened. Consequently Mr.. Murche of
Washington county and Mr.. Guernsey
of Piscatanuis led from the first ballot
and it was upon the latter gentleman
that the delegates of the others united
upon the fifth ballot
Hon. Frank f. Guernsey Of Dover is
no stranger to the people of Maine as
a whole, while in his own section he
has for years been recognized as one
of the strongest men and worthy Of the
highest honors in public life. He is a
relatively young man, only AZ years OF
age. and many years younger than any
man whom Maine has sent to Con-
gress in recent years He was born In
FOXcroft, Oct. Is, 1866, and educated at
the schools of his native town, at
kents Hill and at Eastman's Business
College in New York After studying
law he was admitted to the Piscataquis
bar, where he has since practiced with
exceptional success. With the exception
was that of treasurer Of Piscataquis
county, which he held from 1890 to
1896 In 1886 he was elected to repre-
sent Dover in the Maine Legislature,
and was reelected in 1S9S In 1902 he
was returned to the Legislature to rep
resent his county in the Senate. His
three terms Of Legislative service We're
marked by conscientious work, faith
fully attending to every duty and being
especially efficient in committee SER
vice. He became known as one of the
best speakers of the Legislature and as
always be relied upon.
In his public life as in his private
life, Mr.. Guernsey's record is without
Il stain or flaw. His absolute integrity
has never been questioned and his
ability is recognized wherever he is
known. In his community no man is
more respected, and where he is best
known he is best liked. The Rcpubli-
cans of the 4th district have chosen
wisely Mr.. Guernsey is a strong cam
didate, fully deserving the high honor
which now comes to him, and Aroos-
took, Piscataqus, PenobScot and
Washington will join in electing him
by q splendid majority
