The Good Templsrs in session in their
Grand Lodge passed resolution calling
upon the temperance leaders to unite
with them in preventing or defeating re-
submission. It's a little late now to
prevent or defeat resubmission. That is
a matter that is in the hands of the lS2
members of the house and senate, and
their minds are doubtless made up as to
how they will vote on il. What We want
to prevent and defeat now is not resub-
mission, but the repeal of the prohibit
tory amendment to the constitution.

Roosevelt has been up in biplane.
About all the sensations now left for
him to sample are not in the physical

1t is said that the presidency of the
senate and the srS.kership of the house
will be divided between Cumberland and
Penobscot County, and that "the rest OF
the state will be satisfied" OF course
that sounds very much like an election
held in some lawyers back office. AS it
is in a wicked Republican paper, there
may not be anything in 1t. Yet it is
sometimes wise to observe the rule, that
II you want to find out what your own
party il doing, you must read the other
party's papers. II we hadn't followed
that rule in the last campaign, we should
have been great deal more surprised
than we were when the returns came in.

The method to be used in the attempt
TO raise the Maine has been settled upon,
and work will proceed. 1t seems to be
an opinion quite widely held that the
principal reason for raising the Maine is
that il may be determined whether the
explosion was inside or outside the yes
sci. The real reason for doing it is that
it is an obstruction in Havana harbor,
which we ought to remove. As to the
location of the explosion, a great many
people would like to know it, and it will
set the minds of many at rest, and may
disturb the minds of others, TO reveal
the truth. As for any practical benefit
from such a revelation, there is none.

The Democratic state convention in

Spoilers in Pennsylvania

"A report comes from Pennsylvania to
the effect that special agents of the
postoffice department are travelling over
the country dropping into newspaper
offices when least expected, to examine
subscription lists, to ascertain If the
regulation requiring payment is being
observed.
'It is very dangerous business for a
newspaper publisher to send papers to
subscriptions who are more than l2
months In arrears" says the Towanda
Pa.) Review. To be deprived of the
second class mailing privilege, which is
the penalty for noncompliance with
the rulings, puts n newspaper out Of
business. for the expense of putting a
one-cent stamp on ever paper mailed
amounts to much more than the profit
on the entire subscription business, to
say nothing about the increased amount
Of labor which would be required in
sffixing the stamps. "-Ex.

manner, "and we sympathize with you

Olsen, you must remember this: Your
COW had no business being upon our
tracks. Those tracks are our private
property and when she invaded them
she became a trespasser. Technically
speaking, you. as her owner, became n
trespasser also. But we have no desire

Diagnos By Authority

In the bright sunlight on a railroad
station in Georgia slept colored broth
er. He snored gently with his mouth
ajar, and his long, moist tongue resting
on his chest like pink plush necktie.
A Northerner climbed off the train to
stretch his legs, tiptoed, busted ten
grains of qunine on the surface of the
darkey's tongue. Presently the negro
sucked his tongue back inside his mouth
and instantly arose with a start and
looked about him wildly.

The Useful Silo.

The siio is a text which is always

value and il cannot be preached from
too often Wherever II is seen II de-
notes good farming. 1t solves the
problem OF turning into the highest
efficiency that portion of the corn
crop which fails TO reach the desired
maturity as feed. The silo can be
filled at less expense than the same
amount OF dry feed can be cared for
and It makes better feed. This is. af-
ter all the main point TO consider.
Dairymen have learned that when
cows are kept In the stable for five to
seven months they cannot return as
satisfactory profits II they are con-
fined TO a ration of dry feed alone.
Ensilage gives succulence and is very
much easier to masticate and digest
than dry corn fodder. There Is also
a great saving OF labor In feeding en-
