REGARDS ALL AS PARTY MEN
Taft Will Support Both "ReguIars"
and "ProgressiVes."

No difference between "progressives"
and regulars" will be recognized by
President Taft hereafter, but all party
leaders will be treated alike as Repub-
licans in the matter of federal sup
port.
The presidents views to this effect
are given in a letter from Secretary
Norton to a Republican leader in Iowa,
whose name is not disclosed.
In the letter Secretary Norton stat
ed that while important Republican
legislation pending in congress was
opposed by certain Republican leaders
the president felt that his duty re-
uuired him to withhold federal pat
ronage from senators and representa-
tives who seemed to occupy position
hostile to efforts to fulfill the pledges
of the party platform.
That attitude on the part of the pres
ident ended, however, with the more
recent primary elections and nomlnat-
ing conventions in which the people
have declared themselves, and the
president now looks upon "progres-
sives" and regulars" alike as Republi-
cans and as such entitled to his sup
port and the support of the party, and
the fall elections, Secretary Nortons
letter says, must settle the question
whether the differences of the last ses-
sion of congress shall be pexpetusted
or be forgotten.

DENIAL BY ROOSEVELT
Not Talking Revolution in Declaring
His "New NationaIism."

Col. Roosevelt said that he is not
talking revolution in declaring his new
political creed. Neither IS he making
an appeal to mob rule.
In a stanch defense of his doctrine
of new nationalism" he declared he
was merely using his application Of
old moralities to modern conditions.
At the same time he replied with
spirit to those who have been oppos-
ing him and hotly denounced newspa-
pers which he said attacked honest
public men.
Colonel Roosevelt's address was de-
livered at the Suffolk county fair at
Riverhead, l.. l. His exposition of
new nationalism" came at the close
of a sreech in which he also de.
nounced dishonest corporations, dis
honest men of wealth and political
bosses. He made no reference to the
New York state political situation.
when you get masses of wealth
gathered together and great corpora
tions developing conditions then be-
come so changed that there must be
an increase in governmental activity
to control the wealth for business eff
ciency," declared Mr.. Roosevelt.
81 would not do any wrong to the
great corporation, but I don't intend to
rely only on the big corporations
good nature to see that the corpora
ton doesn't do harm against us. l
want to see such control of the wealth
now gathered for business uses as to
favor the honest man who uses the
wealth genuinely for the service of the
public"

Overhauling the Treasury Building

general adjustment of bureaus and

ber of years. One of the very first inn
provements was the elimination from
the building of the branch printing
office, with its combustible inks, oils,
etc. With the great Fifteenth street
steps removed a fine entrance at
grade will be provided for the EN-.
ployes, and count will be kept of the
people entering and leaving the build
ing, which at the present time seems
to be impossible. At the present time
the employees are obliged to carry
their clothing, hats, rubbers, umbrel-
las and everything of that character
into their working rooms, so that lock-
ers are imperative. 1t will certainly
be $180,00O mighty we'll expended, for
in the present condition of the treas
ury department it is impossible to
keep it clean or to run it on business
like methods with departments of the
various bureaus widely separated, so
that the chief of one of these spends
most of his time traversing the corri-
dors in his attempt to keep track OF

Uncle Sam Watching Aeroplane Men

fortification of the canal No public
reason for this failure to make an ap-
preparation was ever announced, but
it is now pretty well understood that
the experts in both the war and navy
departments suggested that it would
be well to defer action until the gov
ernment understands better what to
expect of the airship.
Officials in the army and navy de-
partments are greatly impressed with
the performances of Glenn Curtiss
with his aeroplane at Atlantic City re-
Gently. Those performances were not
under the auspices of either the war
department or the navy department,
but agents of each of the fighting arms
were present, and were deeply i'm
pressed with what Curtiss was able to
do. They have reported to their re-
speetive departments that from a
height that would have protected him
reasonably we'll from a fire directed
at him from either land or water. he
dropped small articles on boats and on
objects on land with remarkable pre-
cision.
Some of the experts from the de-
partments who saw the Curtiss per-
formances came back firmly convinced
that if war should come on tomorrow
the aeroplane would be able to do de-
structive work.

tion as to where the center of popula-

The remarkable increase in the pop
ulation of Oklahoma must be taken
into consideration in q speculation as
to where the center OF population is
likely to light" A fact worth bearing
in mind is that the increases in popu-
lation in the east particularly have
been in the larger cities.
The center of population has moved
almost due westward since 1870. when
it was at point 23 miles east of Balti-
more. From 1890 to 1900 it moved
almost due west to a point 18 miles
west of Baltimore. In the next ten
years, from 1900 to 1910, it moved
westward and slightly southwark to a
point about forty miles northwest by
west of Washington.
During the ten years between 1890
and 1900 the center" moved west

Jeremiah F. Stephens of st. Johns,
Mich, Union soldier, a member of a
Masonic lodge in Grand Rapids, and
father of F. H. Stephens of Chicago,
was murdered by young companion

street, Chicago.
A fall of state that uncovered gas
pocket caused an explosion in Wanda
liza coal mine No 10 near Dugger, Ind,
in which Andrew Baxter was killed
and nine other miners injured. Three
hundred men had just been trans
ferred to another part of the mine and
this probably averted a terrible dis
aster
Will Sharp and Bob Bruce, two ne
groes who for seven or eight years
have worked on various farms over
the country, were lynched at Upton
vile, Tenn, by a mob. The crime was
an attempted attack on Sallie and

r IE treasury building is undergoing
4 another overhauling, which this
me costs S1S0,00O. The renovators
have been at work on the treasury
building for a good many years. Not
very much has been done to the inside
of the great pile of masonry, where
the United States money is kept, but
more or less work is all the time going
on on the outside All of the original
sandstone or soft limestone that faced
tho outside of the building has been at
last removed, and granite has been put
IN its place. The principal change that
will now be made will be to eliminate
the huge granite entrance steps on the
Fifteenth street side. Several new
messenger elevators will be installed.
lockers will be furnished sufficient for
all of the clerks; the money-handling
divisions will be segregated on the

r. He experts in both the army and
i the navy are watching with keen
interest the development of the
heavier-than-air craft. While the of
ficials are not willing to say much pub
licly about the possibilities of the use
of airships in time of war, they are
saying privately that the probability
is that when the next great war comes
the airship will play a more effective
part than battleships, land batteries,
or great masses of troops.
The prediction is freely made by
army and navy officials in private that
not dollar will ever be spent in forti-
flying for the protection of the Panama
canal. They have arrived at this con-
clusion because they think they fore
see that within a few years the airship
will be brought to a stage of perfec-
ton that will enable it quickly to de-
stroy any Notifications that might be
erected along the route of the canal.

Census

VIZ TASHINGTON.-Th census bureau
w has made public figures concern
ing enough localities to indicate cer-
tam interesting trends in the growth
of American population. What stands
out first is, of course, the general in
crease in population all over the coun-
try. While this growth is perhaps
more striking in the middle west, or
even in the far west, the east is little
behind those sections. Increases in
city population rarely fall below 20
per cent. for the last ten years. Often
the increase is considerably in excess
of so per cent.
This growth has been expected, but
there will probably be some surprise
to find how far the growth of the
cities exceeds that of the rural dis
tricts. Here. save in few localities.
there is an increase, but generally it
is below ten per cent.
Some spot in Illinois may mark the
center of population for another ten
years. 1t is worth while to emphasize

Charged With Robbery.

George w. Fitzgerald, former cash
ier of the United States subtreasury
at Chicago, was indicted by the fed
eral grand jury on the charge of steal
ing $4,000 from the subtreasury.
The money mysteriously disappeared
from the cage over which Fitzgerald
had charge Feb 20, 1907 The disap-
pearance caused a sensation in politi-
cal circles, it having been suggested
that the money was used in politics.
William Boldenweck was sub-treasurer
and bill was passed by congress re-
lieving him of responsibility for the
deficits.
Fitzgerald was released later on bail
of $4,000. Immediately after his re-
lease he threatened to implicate two
prominent politicians in the theft He
said he would give their names to

Note how the price has scared. In
1907 hair was worth only about twen-
ty-five cents pound, wholesale, and
we imported only 56,132 pounds of it,
while in 1909 we brought in 445, 1888
pounds, with the price at something
more than seventy cents. Such a rate
of growth in face of so rapid an in
crease in price Is almost unprecedent-
ed in other lines of commerce and Is
another illustration that woman wants
what she wants when she wants 1t and
is going to have it-expense be
hanged!
Our diplomatic representative leaves
us in the dark as to what woman in
China Is doing for hair If the trade
keeps on, she will certainly be bald IN
course of time. He pays a compli-
ment, however, to the genius of the
Chinese artist by remarking that Chi
nese hair is treated at home in various
ways so as to match almost any tex
ture desired" leaving us to conclude
that the diversity of color not infre-
quently noted on the same head Is
due to lack of circumspection on the
part of American women

The democrats have carried the
state of Maine.
With a few little, obscure forest
towns and island plantations to hear
from, additional revised returns give
Colonel Fred Plaisted (Dem) 72,711
votes for governor and Governor Bert
NJ. Fernald (Rep.) $4,000. Plaisted's
total plurality is estimated at $500.
Revised returns show the election of
Asher C. Kinds (Rep.) in the First dis
trict by 200, of Daniel J. McGillicuddy
(Dem.) in the Second by 5000, of Sam
uel w. Gould (Dem.) in the Third by
2,20O and of Frank E. Guernsey (Rep.)
in the Fourth by 300.
While the election of Colonel Plais-
ted and two Democratic congressman
seemed a great feat, interest centers
in the makeup of the legislature,
which has changed complexion.
Complete returns for the state SEN
ate show the Democrats have twenty
one out of thirty-one seats. The last
state senate was made up of twenty
three Republicans and eight Demo
Gratis.
The Democrats have also elected
seventy-one representatives out of
total house membership of Isl. This
gives them within five votes of a ma
jority in the lower branch.
With a majority of eleven in the
senate, the Democrats are assured of
the control in joint convention of both
houses of the legislature which will
elect a successor to United States
Senator Hale.
No formal bid has been made for
the seat in the United States senate
which will be vacated by Eugene Hale
on March next, although the names
of Charles F. Johnson, of Waterville;
State Senator Lindley M. Staples, of
Knox; William L. Pennell, Of Bruins
wick, who was defeated by Asher c.
Kinds in the First district; Ex-State
Senator Oakley c. Curtis, and Will
lam R. Pattengill, of Waterville, have
been frequently mentioned.
AS the legislature is captured by the
Democrats, it probably will mean the
resubmission to the people of the
vexed prohibitory liquor law and a
chance for local option in the sale of
Intoxicating liquors.
The Sturgis act, which has proved
so obnoxious to many, and was de-
nounced in the Democratic platform,
can be repealed.
