Let's Have the Recall

If our temperance friends had more
confidence in the people, their es-
pecial cause would progress very
much faster If instead Of the reac-
tionary Sturgis law they had adopted
the recall, all Maine would be enjoy
ing what Somerset county does to-
day.
Dallas, Texas, has the recall and is
glad of it. Last spring the city elect
all but two being new men. The two
old members showed a disposition to
run things and they had their way.
The board began to hold secret ses-
sions, and soon such sessions became
the rule.
The morning after the annual cleo
tion of public school teachers, Dallas
could hardly believe its eyes when 1t
read that the principal of the high
school and the assistant professor of
English had failed of reelection.
These two teachers had the confidence
of the community, which had known
and approved them for years. The
men had not been given a hearing
The officers of the High School Alum
nj Association called a meeting of
citizens and the meeting sent to the
board a request for information con-
corning the dismissal of the two
teachers. All the information forth
coming was contained In this letter:
"The board declines to discuss its ac-
ton. The action of the board as to
these two gentlemen Is absolutely
final" The board had another guess
coming, but it didn't know it, 1t had
forgotten all about the recall. Re-
call petitions providing for an cleo
ton to choose successors to the two
old members of the school board were
circulated, and though only 1900
signatures were required, the papers
were signed by nearly 5000 voters.
The men nominated to succeed the
two who had def1ed public sentiment
were elected, and Dallas has a school
board that is doing its level best to
please the people of Dallas.
Now wouldn't something like that
make short work of sheriff who
failed to respect his oath of office? ?

Too Much Privilege

Washington, Hancock, Waldo, Knox,
Lincoln and Sagadahoc counties show
a decreasing population, according to
the returns of the late census. That
the other ten counties show gains
should not be allowed to gloss over
the uncomfortable facts. The situa-
ton calls for a remedy. A falling
population invariably indicates bad
government If we have learned any
thing from the lessons of history.
Man will endure all kinds of hard
ships cheerfully, so long as he is free
to enjoy the fruits of his labor, but
when these are taken from him by
means of the various kinds of special
privilege, he is quickly discouraged.
Then the energetic young men move
away, and the community becomes de-
cadent
Deduct from the number of people
that Maine az a whole has gained
during the uecdue, lHe luCIedSeo III Iho
cities and large towns, and 1t indi-
Gates rural conditions that need in
yestigation. That the special priv
ileges granted by the Legislatures at
Augusta and Washington have
wrought havoc with the agricultural
interests of this great State, is no
longer open to question. We hope our
Democratic friends will take due
notice and govern themselves accord
ingly.

The "Why" of the Trusts

Consider rebates dead. Reckon
that the protecting arm of the Gov
ernment is around you to protect you
against any discrimination In charg-
ing YOU more than is charged the
Combine" for similar service" Call
the midnight tarif' thing of the
past. Believe that the railroad which
serves you will give you the lowest
rates that it can. Then read the evil
dence before the Interstate Commerce
Commission. After that take the
first train for the Trusts headquar-
ters. and sell out for the best price
you can get. You, Mr.. Small manu-
facturer are an anachronism, If the
principle of railroad rate-maklng to-
day is the right one for this day"
writes c. NJ. Keyes in the current
number of the Worlds Work, under
the title How the Railroad works
with the Trust"
Thinking citizens who have noted
with regret the tendencies of the cities
to grow excessively at the expense Of
the country. of corporation control to
drift towards Wall St, and the rule
of the dollar to supercede humane
considerations, will find this article
most interesting 1t shows that the
whole rate SYSTEM of its very nature
tends to build up monopoly, centralize
industry, and destroy individual initi-
ative in the commercial world. The
question is also raised: is it time
to reform the rate schedules, or is it
time to make transportation re-
volution and work out a new sys-
tenn that shall serve the people equal
ly?"
Monopoly is something repugnant
to the whole nature of American peo
pie. Their feelings on this subject
found expression in the Sherman An
thrust Law. Yet here is the domi-
nant force of the commercial world
working at all times to nullify the
law and the popular will. The pub
lie knows that there is today, just as
there has been for three decades
past, favored class of shippers, a.
commercial aristocracy. That is
why the American public distrusts the
railroads, and will not listen to their
plea.

for Deacon Wyman and his three sons,
who also served as deacons of the

plans have at last materialized in the
form of a bronze tablet two and one
half by three feet, bearing the fol-
lowing inscription: This tablet is
placed here by the loving descendants

church-Joseph Wyman,Sr., 18431854; ;
Seth Wyman, 1S54-1895; John H. Wy

to keep their memory green where
they all loved and served for the
space of sixty years" The money for
the tablet given by the descendants
of nine of Joseph Wyman's children,
lone having died childless) was col
lected by Mrs. Sewell w. Smith and
the business of choosing and purchas-
ing was done by Henry r. Wyman of

when thou hast eaten and art
full, and has built g0Odly h0us-

thy herds and thy flOcks

BARNES CLAIMS TO
HAVE BEATEN
ROOSEVELT
Albany Boss Says Sherman
Will Have SIS Majority
AT N. Y. STATE CONVENTION
Accuses Former President of .Polt-
cal WeIching in Not Accepting
Verdict Of state Committee

Albany, Sept. 2l.-A clear majority
OF SO votes for the selection of Vice
President Sherman as temporary
chairman of the New York state re-
publican convention over Col. Roose-
welt was claimed last night by VIII
liam Barnes, Jr., as a result of the up
state primaries yesterday Mr. Bar
mes last night gave out this state
ment:
'The result of today's primaries
ends the contest over the temporary
craftsmanship of the republican state
convention and gives Vice President
Sherman clear majority of 55 votes
over both the Roosevelt Griscom-
Grenier faction and the doubtful dele
gates. Interest naturally centers in
the personal e ement but there are in
yolved In this situation two principles
of great Importance to the republican
party The first may be called order
ly political Management. Mr.. Roose-
welt was defeated in the state COM
mittee by vote of 20 to Is and then
Mr.. Sherman was unanimously chos-
EN- as the temporary presiding officer
of the state convention To question
that determination on the floor of the
convention Is equivalent to boiling n
nomination.
This Is known as political welch-
Ing, and had Mr.. Roosevelt defeated
Mr.. Sherman in the state committee,
that would have been the end of the
controversy. Mr. Roosevelt has not
acted as Mr.. Sherman would have
done in questioning the unanimous
action of the committee. They are
equal before the party Mr.. Roose-
vet has. no superior rights as a man
to any other man. Secondly, the real
contest at Saratoga will he in the
committee on resolutions. There
the party creed for two years will be
proclaimed. There must be deter
mined whether the party Is TO be turn
ed over to my policies borrowed
from Bryan. or to remain steadfast
in the faith which has given solidar-
ity and victory in the past. have
done what / could in the public press
to warn republicans Of the Roosevelt
danger and at the primaries to secure
delegates who will not rush madly TO
the worship of false gods. We have
won"
Replying to Col. Roosevelts denial
Chat he had gone to New Haven, VT
ITO seek President Taft's help Mr. Bar
mes said: "The fact that Mr.. Roose
welt went to New Haven covers the
situation His speeches in the west
would not indicate that he would &c
to President Taft for anything but
help"
