Senator Dolliver, just before the
passage Of the railroad bill, said: II
regard the session of Congress, which,
for three months or more, has given
an uninterrupted attention to these
questions, as one OF the most remark
able and most instructive in the whole
history OF our government" Not a
single republican senator voted
against the bill. 1t was a most pro-
nounced administration victory. 1t is
as yet too early to analyze the bill, for
it may be changed somewhat before
its Anal passage, but it will be a long
step in advance, and the fuliliment OF
one of the most important republican
pledges.

q healthy awakening Of the farmers Of
Maine to the opportunities at their
hand.
The old methods Of farming are CIV
ing way to the new; the industrial
idea as applied to farming is growing.
In this the grange has been . large
factor, and in spreading the educa-
tional work throughout the State, the
Maine Central and the University OF
Maine are doing work ofinestimable
value which we believe is fully appre-
ciated by the people Of this State.

There is much yet to be accom-
plished during the next session OF the
sixty first Congress and the two ses-
sions Of the Congress following. For
that reason the House of the sixty
second Congress should have q sub
stantial republican majority to work
with the Senate and President in
rounding out an administration which
will redeem every republican pledge.
A democratic House means do-noth-
ing Congress. A republican house
means continuation of the splendid
work 80 well begun.

The County Convention .

The County Convention.
To demand that the governor shall
enforce law as required by the consti-
tuition, and to refuse him the means
with which to enforce it was one of
the glaring inconsistencies OF the
democratic party set forth in clear
cut sentences by Senator Deasy in his
address yesterday at the republican
county convention.
This alone is enough to doom a
party, long on fault-fnding and short
on performance, to distrust and de-
feat, but to it Senator Deasy added a
scathing arraignment Of the demo-
cratic party for its hypocritical atti-
tude On the railroad tax rebate mat
ter; its attempts for years TO repudi-
ate an honorable contract, and fol-
lowing this with an attempt to renew
a contract which it had been de-
nonncing We commend to our
readers a careful perusal Of Senator
Deasy's address, which is printed in
full in this issue.
The harmony which characterized
the convention throughout suggests
the determination of the republicans
OF Hancock county to roll up an old
time majority, and put the quietus
to the notion that this is demo-
cratic year.

successor as chairman may be able TO
equal him in efficiency, but he cannot

home coming next Saturday will be
vociferous. The bay OF New York
harbor will be crowded with boats
carrying his friends, while his greet
ing on land will be hearty and unpre-
cedented. 1t will be a non-partisan
welcome, as it should be, and yet all

publican governor, vice. president
and President that he gained his fame.
He will continue to be loyal republi-
can, and give his unqualified endorse
ment to the present administration.

ing the wet weather of the past few weeks.
Nearly all the farmers are planting more
this year than last, and each year seems to
be an advaucemenA over the preceding
one. Buildings are being repaired, and
the farms are being groomed OF unneces-
sary and unsightly growth and obstruc-
tions. Good, servicea BILE fences are tskine

There will not be single issue
where republicans cannot rally to the
support of the policies and candidates
OF the party. The work of the two
sessions of the present Congress will
be phenomenal, and the legislation
and administration under President
Taft will compare favorably with any
in our history. There will be no rea-
son for any man to sulk. There will
be every reason for every man to give

The so-called unpopularity Of Presi-
dent Taft seems to be confined to the
undertaking magazines and those dis
gruntled newspapers which did moi
succeed in intimidating Congress to
give them free print paper. The
people are with the President, and
are fast finding out his worth. They
are learning to love him for his sim
