Tribute to Gen. Braddock.

The citizens Of Fayette County.
Pennsylvania have raised funds to
make a park about the grave of Cen
e1al Edward Braddock and to erect a
monument to that officer. Gen. Brad
Jocks only famous performance was
his crushing defeat at the hands of the
French and Indians in 1856 when he led
an expedition to Fort Du Qucsne. Ev-
cry American boy and girl is thorough
ly instructed that Braddock was too
proud to take advice from Washing
ton, Franklin and others and that he
paid for his vanity with his life.
Time has softened the feeling of con-
tempt somewhat and bistcrians ar,
finding that General Braddock had
more than ord nary ability. The west
ern part of the state of Pennsylvania
is using military road it owes to him
and it is now recognized that in spite
of his final defeat, he did great ser
vice in America. There is the added
feature that American citizers are
erecting a monument to British army
officer but this becomes a patriotic act
without paradox because Braddock
was a bcnefac.or to ard defender of
the American colonies long before the
Revolution

Nax Blood An Essential.

Maine has reached the point where
she must consider the great influence
that her foreign born population Is 10
have upon her development. 1t is ex-
tremely difficult to estimate the vast
contribution that has been made to
Names history by aliens, but II Maine
is to develop, and she is going to de-
yclop, she will look to foreign-born
men and women to aid very materially
in that development. The difficult part
of the problem is how to rapidly as
simulate this new element. The pubic
school is accomplishing much in this
direction: it is a great leveler. Our
churches and fraternal societies are
taking up the work where the new
conner has passed the age when he at
tends the public school. In fact. any
thing which leads to the association OF
the so-called native with he who first
SAW the light in a foreign land tends
to weld us into a single, concrete body.
The newcomer is a many-sided in
diyidual and one of his most pro-
nounced traits is thrift. 1t is to this
trait we must look to cOunterbalance
the native-born Americans tendency
toward extravaganza and prodigality.
The expatriate citizen never ceases to
yearn for the Fatherland He wants
to 60 back and generally does. but re-
turns, for he does not permit sentiment
to override judgment. America Is
prosperous nation and where prosperity
is, there you will find thrift. Maine
today possesses more of the best class
Of newcomers in proportion to her
population than does, perhaps, any
other state This is due in part
to her climate and to the sim
ilarity of the soil and vegetation of
Maine with that of northern Europe.
1t is well settled that northern Europe
sends us the immigrant of the best
class. He embraces opportunities not
offered him in his own home and mas
thus ACQUIRED land and property. At
first it is an humble home. but later,
his thrift brings with it it's reward
he promptly acquires
the comforts, and in measure, the
luxuries of life. Maine needs these
newcomers and they find in Maine all
those things which they seek.
