A New Habit.

Sleeping out OF doors is rapidly in
creasing, not only in the country, but
also on the tops of city houses.
Principally it is part of the tremendous
crusade against consumption. but the
esthetic side of it is worth mention.
Might is a dead. monotonous period
under roof; but in the open world it
passes lightly, with its stars and dews
and perfumes, and the hours are
marked by changes in the fact Of Ma
ture. What seems kind of temporal
death to people choked between walls
and curtains is only a light and living
slumber to the man who sleeps afield.
All night long he can hear Nature
breathing deeply and freely: even rs
she takes her rest she turns and
Take the influence of it altogether.

ter, it is one of the best developments
in the methods of living at the present

Chandelier and the Sun.

Chanticleer told the feathered folks
that the sun rose because he crowed-
and they believed him, Indeed we are
a time.
Colonel Plaistcd would have us be-
lieve that if the sun of progress and
purity is to adorn our fair city, if we
are to have city affairs conducted
properly, ahcm. ct cctera: if all politi-
cal ambitions and influences arc to be
eliminated, all this only can be done
by arranging on Monday next for that
venerable Democratic rooster to crow

Why He Looked Patient.

The man came into the theater late.
The curtain was up. The man stood
in the outer passage and leaned against
the rail.
He was patient looking man with
a sad expression. The ushers looked
at him and felt sorry that they could
not show him to a seat.
Municipal ordinance, No 4-11-44, does
not permit the man who comes late
to take seat until the curtain falls.
But the patient man did not grum-
BILE. That is one reason why the ush-
ers sympathized with him.
And so. when the curtain fell the
nearest usher ran to the stranger.
"I'll show you to your seat now.
SIR" he politely said.
The patient man turned and glow
cred at the usher.
TO blazes with your old seat he
snarled. II can't sit down-Fve got a
stiff "-Cleve1and Plain Dealer.

The Democracy Divided.

Alderman Williamson, in commus
nication printed elsewhere in this IS.
sue, disclaims that, as stocknoiuer
and director Of the Kennebec Con-
struction Company. he acquiesced In
the purchase of a secondhand stone
crusher by the city any more reaoily
than he would have done. had ne nad
no interest in that or any other COM
pany having a stone crusher Tor SAFE
No one ever thought for moment
that Alderman Williamson, in favorins
the purchase of some stone crusher
mot necessarily the one hnaliy pur-
chased) was actuated by other than
the desire to have the city do business
on business principles. He is entitled
to be set right before the people on
that point and the Journal takes
pleasure in clearing up any suggestion
of improperly which might have been
made.
Mr. Williamson, in voting to permit
the committee to use its judgment, at
ter it had stated its judgment to be
that a stone crusher should be pur-
chased, OF course, accepted the judg-
mcnt of the committee as to the ne
cessity for the purchase, as his own
and thereby committed himself to the
nfcnn
had voted on an order directing, in
stead of authorizing" the committee
to purchase. That is the only way to
interpret his action in that juncture.
He never has, and does not now, we
believe, doubt that the city purchased
the crusher advantageously.
AS all know, this is not the position
taken by Candidate Plaisted, In MS
speech of acceptance he severely con-
demned this, among other acts of the
present administration. as unbusi-
nesslike and as indicating incompetent
cy or worse. 1t is unfortunate for the
Democracy that it is divided on this
point, as it hoped that the stone crush
err would be an effective weapon in the
political game the Democracy is en-
deavoring to inveigle Augusta Repub-
licans into helping them play.
Pardon us if we smile little at the
Delhocracy's ludricous predicament.

A Trick Exposed.

| Twenty editors of Republican pa
pers printed in the 18th Illinois Con-
gressional district met in Danville
last week and unanimously adopted
resolutions endorsing Hon. Joseph G.
| Cannon's candidacy for reelection
and declaring their admiration for him
and his work in no uncertain language.
Coming as it does on the heels of the
| Chicago Tribune poll of these same
Republican editors which was alleged
to show that they were antagonistic
to Mr.. Cannon, it assumes more than
ordinary significance.
The Tribune has extracted consid
but in view of the positive action
taken by the editors it is difficult to
see wherein the opponents of Mr..
Cannon have gained anything. 1t
would have been better for them had
they adhered strictly to the facts.
The Republican editors brand the
Tribune poll false and Mendacious."
They We're joined in their endorsement
of the Speaker by several independent
editors, who were proud to stand up
and be counted with their Republi-
can brethren.
Maine is interested in this Illinois
situation because similar action will
doubtless be taken by newspapers of
other states which seek popular ac-
claim by attacking men in office, in
an effort to bring discredit upon SEN
ator Hale. Maine will support him to
the end. Maine can not afford to do
Otherwise. The voters Of Maine are
firm in that point
The Republican editors of the 18th
Illinois Congressional district adopted
set of resolutions which Ecpubli-
cans everywhere should strive to EMU
late. They are as follows:
We, the republican editors of the
18th Congressional District, assem-
bled in Danvile. Illinois, on this 4th
day of March. 1910, adopt the follow
ing resolutions:
Resolved, That as President Taft
closes the first year of his term this
day. and has but fairly had time to
begin work, yet he has made remark
able progress as shown by the fol-
lowing facts:
He called an extra session of Con-
gress as soon as inaugurated. as de-
mandcd by the republican platform
and people.
That extra session enacted the
Payne Aldrich tariff bill. and Presi-
dent Taft promptly signed it, and it
has proven to be. in the terse words
of President Taft, 1.-The best tariff bill

who has recently returned from a tour
TO Rome i'm company with Bishop
Walsh. 1t was not so much the loss
of the steamer that caused the extreme
grief of FIR. O'Dowd as was the loss Of
a large collection of souvenirs and pres
cnts that he had brought back with
him from foreign countries for his
parishioners tnd friends. The collec-
ton arrived in New York on the
steamship Lusitanta Saturday and were
transhipned to the steamer Manhattan
dock for transportation to this city. 1t
is doubtful If the goods have escaped
the flames in the hold of the craft
and it is a pity that it remained until
they had reached the last stage of the
journey only to be lost.
