CONGRESSMAN Prince in Maine.

Among those who have the welfare
of Maine at heart is Hon. George w.
Prince of Illinois, the congressman
from the 18th district of the Prairie
state. Congressman Princes loyalty
to his friends in Maine and his desire
that the State should make a good
showing on the right side in the cleo
ton returns, sent him East to take
part in the campaign. The convinc-
ing argument of this central Western
gentleman has been a factor in the
Maine campaign, commented upon by
the leaders of both political parties.
Congressman Prince and his wife
have won many friends in Maine and
it is hoped they will visit our State
at time when the pressure of po-
litical events will not interfere with
their enjoyment of the hospitality OF
Maine homes and the rugged scenery
| so much in contrast with the broad
| beautiful, cultivated levels of their
home state.
Congressman Princes home is III
Galesburg, but he was born in Taze-
| well county, March 4, 1854. He grad
| uated from Knox College in 1878
studied law and was admitted to the
| bar in 1880. He was elected to the
55th and all succeeding Congresses
| He is a member OF the banking and
currency and military affairs com
mIttees of the National House, as well
IS chairman of the committee on
sissippi river.

lures.

Talk about Democratic aggressive
ness" Republicans since they fairly
got into the field two weeks ago have
kept the enemy running like frightened
RAJ bits Nothing but faint echoes re-
main of those remarkab BILE Democl attic
charges smashed by Republican facts.
Especially aggressive work has been
accomplished all over Maine the past
week. The people have grandly arisen
down Democracy with old time vigor
on election day.
The Republican rallies have not only
eclipsed those of the opposition. out
Republican logic has convinced patri-
otic Democrats themselves that the
best thing for business. as well as poll
tics, is to follow the lead of Taft and
Governor Fernald.
"Rcpublicans of Maine have to get
mad before they wake up. but. when
orce aroused. they can overwhelm
Democrats every time" observed Hon
Luther Maddocks of Boothbav one day
in July.
"he Eoothbay man is right Since
TIE battle really began Republican
prospects, AS Governor Fernald OBJ
served a week ago. grow brighter ev-
cry day Democrats have felt the
strong swing of the popular tide set in
favor of Republicans since the Repub-
Lean State convention and the tide has
of late b-er running so swift that the
Democratic leaders are off their feet
and are drifting powerless to accom-
plish more evil to Maine with either
tri ks or words.
But Republicans must not cease
working and every man must be on the
alert to get every additional vote. We
want every Congressman back in
Washington, more Republicans in the
next legislature than the last and Ii, 900
plurality if it's a possible thing.

Good Granite and Sense.

Kansas is a great state for corn and
alfalfa. but experience has shown its
building stone to be of inferior quail
ity Had the local statesmen taken
more counsel of expert judgment and
less of state PRIDE it would have been
of present advantage and the capitol
would have been constructed of Maine
granite When the capitol building
was erected at a cost of several MIL
lions, the kansans insisted upon ma
tive stone for its construction, and got
it. Now it is crumbling very rapidly
The state architect has just asserted
that it will be only a few years be-
to keep the building intact. Almost
anywhere slabs of stone can be prled
off with a penknife. Within the next
few years a new building must be put
up or an entire refacing given the
present one.
Kansans also have shown lack of
judgment in their political structure.
Had they heard to solid New England
advice they would not be in so fair
way to be patching a crumbling policy
in the months to come. Up in the Pine
Tree State is an abundance OF good
hard, clean-ritted, uncrumbling gran
lite, and the sense quality of her Re-
publican statesmen is the same. Kan

The National Issue.

| All Republicans are agreed on the
necessity of maintaing adequate pro-
lection of American labor and indus
tries.
| A Democratic vote this year means
vote to destroy protection.
In his letters to Chairman Mckinley
President Taft happily summed up the
situation. He said that Republican
candidates are showing themselves
throughout the country practical and
patriotic in subordinating Individual
opinions in order to secure real prog
ress. In Iowa all the candidates have
met and passed resolutions to the ef-
feet that Republican differences should
be fought out at the primaries and not
at the polls, and in all parts of the
country the so-called fractional differ
ences are being laid aside with a de-
sire to unite on common ground for the
| election of Republican majority to
the next House of Representatives.

and state and the best good to the

try.

that we should work together for flu
ture progress and advancement for
the interests of our country and for

that the Sth of next November will

Sought Issues; Found None.

A Boston newspaper man remarked
Thursday evening that he had come to
Augusta to discover on what issues the
Democrats were fighting this campaign
in Maine,-and although he had con-
versed with quite a few men. he had
not yet been able to learn that Demo
crazy had any issues at all.
Which corroborates the remark made
by Hon. VIM. T. Haines in his speech
at Thursday evenings rally that the
Democratic charges of Republican ex-
travagance are purely humbug.

Cheerful Losers.

Charles +. Johnson told the Demo
Gratis Friday evening that his wife was
Il Republican when they were married
and that she often remarked. after
each succeeding defeat of Democracy
that the Democrats seemed to be the
most hopeful species of humans whom
she met. for they were always sure
they were going to win though they
never won.
We doff our hat to Mrs. Johnson
the Republican better half of the
Johnson firm. 1t is quite possible that
Mr.. johnson would be Republican
also if he could only get over his
prejudice against the Maine prohibitory
law, which obviously the lady does not
have.
This suggests the fact that the plac-
ing of prohibition into the Constitution
of this State is due to the efforts at
the polls as political workers of the
women of Maine.

The Democratic Arguments.

If we review all the arguments that
the Democratic speakers and press
have made, we find that the whole
head and front of the Republican Of
fielding consists of spending too much
money and a too high tariff. They &C
cuse the Republicans of spending too
much money on bridges and roads and
institutions for tie care of the unfor-
Inmates. Now suppose they are right,
it is not a very serious offense and,
too, the Democrats who have been in
the Legislature have not opposed the
appropriations for schools, for the in
sane. the predetermined and hayward
children when strong concerted action
by the Democratic members in oppo-
stion to these appropriations would
have been at least partially success
full The high tariffs that they kick
, s. much about are tariffs on the prod
ucts of Maine industries and Maine
farms
Judge Parker calls attention to the
good ole Democratic times. when the
mills were idle and pork was five cents
pound. Think it. over. gentlemen,
when you get in the election booth
alone with Your conscience and be
guided by your love for your native
State and your material prosperity.
There is no one thing that the Dem
ocrats talk more about than what they
call the costly Sturgis law" Now 1t
costs no more to enforce the law by
the Sturgis deputies than it does by
tile deputies appointed by the sheriff.
1t is costly to enforce any law wheth-
er it he the law against murder or
burglary or selling Intoxicating liq-
uor. 1t would he just as sensible for
them to decry the murder law because
it costs to enforce it AS it is for them
to declaim against the Sturgis law
because it is costly. There are not, as
they claim. two sets of officers active
w enforcing the liquor law III any
county, because in a county where the
sheritf's appointed deputies are enf"rc-
ing he law there are no Sturgis dep
ut;es and IDENTITIES are only expensive

A Soma Of Harvest.

o painter of the fruits and flowers,
We thank thee for thy wise design
Whereby these human hands of ours
In Natures garden work with thine.
And thanks that from our daily need
The JOY of simple faith is born:
That he who smites the summer weed
May trust thee for the autumn corn.
Give fools their gold old knaves their
power.
Let fortunes bubbles rise and fall:
Who sows field or trains flower,
Or plants d tree, is more than all.
For he who bleSses most is blest.
And God and man shall own his worth
Who tolls to leave as his bequest
An added beauty to the earth.
And. soon or late. to all that SOW.
The time of harvest shall be given:
The flower shall bloom, the fruit shall
grow.
If not on earth. at last in heaven
