All the speeches were literally ap-
plauded and enthusiasm reigned through
out the entire proceedings.
The following resolutions were
adopted:
The Republicans of the Sd Congress
sional District of Maine, believing the
record of their party demonstrates that
it is, of all political parties, the most
responsive to public needs and most
effective in accomplishing beneficial
results, cordially invite all to unite with
them in support of these propositions:
Communication of the splendid admin
lstration of President Taft, one of the
ablest and most productive this country
ever had. 1t had scrupulously fulfilled
the pledges it made to the people and
deserves general appreciation.
Endorsement of the progressive and
efficient measures for wise regulation of
corporate interests engaged in our inter-
state commerce.
Continued allegiance to the policy of
protection as applied to raising our tariff
revenues, a policy under which this
country has secured its greatest pros
perity, and which is essential to our well
fare and absolutely necessary for the
maintenance of the American standard
of living
We commend the revision of the tar
1T, achieved with the least possible dis
turbance of business, and call attention
to the excellent results obtained under
the new revenue law.
We heartily endorse the methods,
adopted by the last Congress, for pro-
vldlng comprehensive, unprecedented and
scientific information upon which shall
be based such notifications of tariff
schedules as may be found necessary by
reason OF changing conditions.
We refer with pride to the successful
efforts of the Republican party, as result
of which this country has maintained a
sound currency.
We fully approve the faithful, able
and successful record of our honored
representative in Congress, Edwin C.
Burleigh. We are proud of what he has
accomplished by Jealous, untiring and
distinguished service. We pledge him
our loyal and enthusiastic support.

boy whose ambition it was to enter the
navy. He received an appointment and
was taken from the High school and sent
to preparatory school to qualify for ad
mission to the Naval Academy at An
napolis. At the end of a year he took
the examination but failed to pass. He
was given opportunity for second trial
and spent another year at the prepare
tory school, at the end of which he was
successful in passing the examination.
But close application to his studies had
affected his eyesight and he did not pass
the physical examination, and although
he was told that he might have another
examination later, he felt that the case
was hopeless and greatly disheartened
he bought ticket and started for home.
Before he had gone far on his journey
something induced him to turn back, and
he went to Washington and stated his
case to Congressman Burleigh. Mr..
Burleigh said to him: my boy, stay
right here and will see to it that your
ambition is realized if have to 60 to the
President for a special appointment.
His advice was followed and admission
to the Naval Academy was secured and

The one idea of the average town road
commissioner seems to be to get as much
of the mud and grass growing in the
cutters into the middle of the road as
possible. AS an example of how not to
do it one has but to take ride through
some of the roads to be found in the
towns of China, Winslow and Vassal-
boro. Roads that were fairly passable
and in fair condition before the attention
of the road commissioner and his infer
nal road" machine are now strips of
bog and mire, that are practically i'm
passable for an automobile, and over
which it is impossible to trot horse
The road machine affords convenient
way of paying political debts with the
tax payers money. Six to eight horses
and four or five men to machine calls
for the disbursement of good deal of
money, and when the work is done under
the superintendent of men who are
given the positions in return, for their
votes and influence good roads are to be
expected.

PATTANCALL vs.. DEMOCRACY.


IT there is any one thing which the
people of Maine dislike above another
it is one-man dictation, and that is pre-
cisely what Mr.. Pattangall has handed
out to the Maine Democracy. He started
out months ago to defeat Mr.. Gardner.
He has travelled up and down the State
whispering hi. dulcet tones into the ears
of his Democratic friends. The conse-
quence is the utter routing of Gardner
and the nomination of Plaisted. That
was one-man dictation, something the
Democratic party of Maine is supposed
to abhor above all other things.
But in his personal victory Mr.. Pat
tangall has killed the hopes of the Maine
Democracy. With Gardner to draw the
farmer vote there was fair possibility
of winning, but with Plaisted, who is
nothing but a politician profess
sional politician there isn't ghost of a
show. But Mr.. Pattangall hasn't been
Democrat so long that he Mas any
natural love for the principles of Jeffer-
son, and because of this fact he had no
scruples whatever about projecting his
own personal wishes into the campaign
and destroying the fair prospects of vic
tory for the party. Possibly the Demo-
Gratis can stand this sort of thing; history
will show that the Republicans couldn t.

The special Senate committee ap-
pointed to investigate the causes for
the great increase in the cost of living
between 1900 and 1910 naturally did not
agree. as it was made up of Republicans
and Democrats, and the latter will pre-
sent a minority report. The majority
report was submitted to the Senate, June
24th, by Senator Lodge, chairman of the
committee, and is an exhaustive one. 1t
was found that the wholesale price level
in the nited States in general advanced
during the period from 1900 to 1909 inclu-
eive l4.5 rer cent, ard that the increases
have been so much greater in products
coming either directly or indirectly from
the farms than IN any other line except
ing products Of the forest. the conclusion
must be reached that the most important
cause of the present advance is to be
found in a study Of farm conditions. Con-
corning the advance in the cost of food,
the report says:
''The supply of government available
land for general farming has been ma
terially reduced and the ranges are being
rapidly cut up into homes for settlers.
The cost Of producing live stock has ma
terially increased with the disappearance
of the range, which necessitates produc-
ing cattle on tame pasture and high
priced lands"
A study Of the tables concerning whole
sale prices of farm and food products in
dictates that the advance in the United
St ates in ten years has been more rapid
than in Great Britain, Germany and
many other European countries, but that
they had simply approached more nearly
the world level Of prices.
1t is shown, however, that the advance
United States than in European countries.
The report says:
wages in the United States advanced
in about the same degree as did prices,
until 1907, Salaries have advanced but
very little during the last ten years."
Hours of labor in practically all wage
occupations are shown to have been re-
duced. This reduction affected the week
ly earnings of employees for the reason
that the large majority of wage-earners
are employed on the piece basis, or at an
hourly rate.
The prices of many of the trust-pro-
duced commodities have not advanced as
rapidly as have other commodities In
some cases where such produced com
modities have advanced greatly the adj
vance appears to be due largely to other
causes, such as short SUPPLY
1t was found thai labor unions had not
been apparently a serious factor in con-
tributing towards advancing prices.
Advanced cost is laid in some measure
to increased expense of distributing food
by wholesalers and retailers.
The committee found from the testi-
mony Of retailers that housewives bought
in small quantities and upon rush orders,
practice that has greatly increased the
expense Of doing business.
The report says it is clear that the con-
sumers must pay the cost of advertising
and the cost of fancy packages Trading
stamps and vouchers emitting the holders
to premiums, are paid for by increased
prices Of food products. 1t was shown
also that increased freight rates had a
great deal to do with increased prices.

Rice Was Not Murdered.

NEW YORK. Jan. 21.-Albert r.

in Sing Sing prison for the murder
OF William Marsh Rice. is innocent,
and the victim OF base injustice, ac-
cording to the statement OF Col. VIII.
and Navy Journal. who was foreman
OF the grand jury which indicted Pat.

ment follows a despatch from New

return TO New York and furnish evil

case Col. Church said:
Il believe that the punishment
which Patrick Is now undergoing Is
the result or gross miscarriage or
justice. can say with the most
positive assurance not only that Pat
rick was not guilty OF murder. but
that there was no murder in the case.
The evidence against Patrick was pre-
scented in such form before the
grand jury as to create a prime facie
case such as 10 require indictment,
