Please Specify.

While the Democrats are lavish with
their criticism of Republican extrava-
gance in the conduct of the States
affairs they are exceedingly reticent
in specifying wherein they would or
could, if given the opportunity, econo-
mize.
VIII the Democrats please state just
how they would reduce the expenditure
OF the tax PAYERS money?
Would they cut out good roads?
Would they refuse appropriations for
our hospitals? Would they lessen the
amount expended on the education of
our youth?
AS matter of obvious fact the Demo-
cratic members of the last Legisla-
tnre We're not only anxious and willing
for the States money to be expended
for the progress and prosperity of the
State, but some of them clamored for
still more expenditure which Governor
Fernald and the administration felt
obliged to refuse.
Consistency is jewel which the
Maine Democracy does not seem to
possess.

points at any hour between 4.05 and
1912 p. Nj. will prove matter of seri-
Gus Inconvenience.
Another cause of regret to Kennebec
valley patrons of the road is that the
1928 P. NJ. train from Augusta running
east stops at Waterville, where it
misses connection to Bangor and
points between by one-half an hour.
In order for people on the Kennebec
to go to Bangor by the evening SER
vice it is necessary to patronize the
electric road or to go to Winthrop to
catch the train on the back route.
AS a matter of fact Augusta and the
the cities and towns from Waterville
TO Brunswick in this schedule are
given no better service than was fur
nished five years ago.
AS Augusta understands the matter
the back route has been favored in
preference to the Kennebec valley line
which latter has twice the local travel.
Our former 1l.3O A. NJ. train to Bos-
ton is greatly missed.

stock and is endowed with the quail
ties that made his father governor of
the state" 1t is not a matter of
great Importance at this day, but it
IS just as well to have the facts of
history set right. General Harris M
Plalsted began his political life as a
Republican representative in the Leg
ls,ature from Bangor and in the lat
ter year was delegate to the nation
al Republican convention. In the
years 1872 he held the office of at
torney general. to which he was elected
by Republican Legislatures. While
still in office he was elected Repre-
sentative in Congress as a Republican
to fill the vacancy caused by the death
of Samuel F. Hersey. Three years
later he Joined the Greenback move
ment and in 1880 was elected govern
or by a fusion of the Greenback and
Democratic parties. On the decline of
the Greenhack party General Plaisted
definitely Joined the Democratic and
so remained until his death in 1898.

the thousands Of new graduates OF
Maine high schools. academies. col

ing showered. with good advice in Rac-

tleman. who at this time in June, is
leaving the halls of learning for affairs
of life, to the following golden words
OF one of Names most distinguished
college presidents:
IF you are happy. it is largely
to your own credit. If you are mis-
cradle it is chiefly your own fault
-. In a word, live in the pas
sive voice. waiting for good to come
to you ready-made. and you will be
a pessiInist, miserable to the end
of your days. Live in the active
voice, intent on the progress you
can make and the work you can
accomplish, and you will acquire
the art of optimism. and be happy
for evermore."

On one side sprang the wheat, !
And |, like "a lazy lover.

The red caps of the clover,
Or green gowns of the wheat.
The red caps of the clover,
They nodded in the heat.
And as the wind went over
With nimble. flying feet,

And stirred the gowns of wheat.

The writer ran across a tree doctor
the other day. This gentleman stated
th3t the gypsy moths and the brown
tail moths originally were imported in
nursery stock and that the reason why,
abroad, in the native haunts of the
pests, they did not cause such raw
ages as they have in this country
among our trees was because they
were largely destroyed there by their
particular parasites. The parasites
that attack the brown tail moth have
been imported and liberated and are
doing successful work. This will not
attack the gypsy moth so that it is
necessary to send abroad and obtain
invoices of the parasites of the gypsy
moths to destroy them.
