1t appears that ex-Justice F. A.
Powers has aspirations for the seat in
the United States Senate for so many
years and at present occupied by Hon.
Eugene Hale. This ambition is per-
fectly laudable one, but, as it's fulfill
ment depends upon its endorsement
by the voters of Maine, we doubt
greatly if it is gratified at the present
time.
For many years the republican
members of the Maine legislature
have chosen the United States sena-
tors from this State, and there is GER
tainly no reason to expect that they
will desire to retire Senator Hale,
among the very few of the most in
luential men in the Congress Of the
United States, experienced in legisla-
ton, wonderfully equipped by pro-
found study, of fine mental and legal
attainments and thoroughly proficient
in craftsmanship for candidate
without the slightest experience in
national legislation and whose infiu-
ence in the halls of Congress would
pale into insignificance, when COM
pared with the tremendous power of
Senator Hale, who is floor leader of
the dominant party in the upper
branch.
But while the people of Maine feel
thorough respect for the ability of
Senator Hale, which has raised him to
commanding position of national
prominence, we are, in the choice of
a senator, more particularly con-
cerned in the advantages or disad-
vantages that will accrue to our own
State, and we believe that many
members of Names democratic party
will agree that no man is in position
to serve in the United States Senate
with as much advantage to the State
of Maine as is Senator Hale.
The experience of the past is suf-
ficient evidence of the fact that in
spite of the leading part that Senator
Hale has taken in the profound ques-
tions of national legislation he has
never for an instant forgot his duty to
the State, which, since 1881, he has
represented in the upper branch of
Congress. Prior to entering the Sem
ate he had served almost continuously
in the House from 1869.
In the making of tariff schedules he
has always struggled intelligently and
ably for the interests of Maine, as the
farmer in Aroostook or the lime burn
er in Knox can testify. He has al
ways been a conservative legislator
not stirred to folly by the fad of the
hour. Thus when President Roose-
welt, run mad on the question of ma
tional defense, wished to build four
immense battleships, Senator Hale
calmly opposed and cut the appropri-
alton in halves. He did not fear to
match his strength against the chief
executive of the nation, and his poll
cy of economy was adopted by Con-
gress.
Senator Hale is too useful man to
Maine in the United States Senate to
be retired because of the aspirations
of ex-Justice Powers, who doubtless
will realize that the views here ex-
pressed are held by the people of
Maine, but it may be possible that the
ex- Justice is getting in line against
the time when there shall be better
opportunity than exists at present.

The committee-room was crowded with
delegations that had come to plead in be-

Gov. Burleigh and his colleagues why
they thought they ought to have it at the
earliest moment.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. Especially
Senator Hale, of Ellsworth, found q very
lively interest in the Maine campaign, es-
pecislly as pertaining to his own re-elec-
ton, when he returned here from Au-
gusta late last week. The splendid recep-
tion the republicans Of the State commit
tee accorded him, and the many express
sions in Maine and Massachusetts, news
papers favora BILE to his reelection, were
known about here in advance OF the sens-
tors return. Many senators had cut clip
pings from their home papers to hand
to Mr.. Hale.
They were well aware that the opposition
to him in Maine was not OF formidable
proportions, although some newspapers
that circulate in Washington have been
seeking an occasion to create contrary
impression. II his reelection were mat
ter OF good will Of his republican col
leagues in the Senate, it would be practi-
cally unanimous. A few OF the insurgent
republicans might hold out as a matter
OF principle, but they bear him no ill will
personally. His consistently courteous
treatment OF them has been noticeable on
the republican side.
The President sent for Senator Hale
Immediately on his return here to en-
list his further cooperation in matters OF
legislation. Just now the senator is bent
upon getting those eternal supply bills
out of his big committee as fast as they
are sent over from the House, but he is
also seeking to get plenty Of time for the
orators to talk themselves to standstiil,
so that there may be vote upon the
postal savings bank bill, the interstate
commerce amendments and the other
measures the President wants.
The senator is vigorously championing
the nomination OF Medical Director Gus
tav II. Boyer to be surgeon-general of the
navy, because he is a very competent
officer, and also because he has relatives
in Maine. His son, G. II. Boyer, jr., is
president Of the Union league club, of
Portland. The odds seem to be against
the senator landing his man, but this is
not discouraging him from making the
strongest fight he can for his friend.

The past week has been one OF consider
able activity for Maine people at the
capitol. Congress at last is settling down
to its big tasks in earnest. In the House
the republican insurgents have been
quiescent, but watching for an oppor-
tunity to be on the aggressive. The four
Maine members, like many other republic
cans OF the House, have not allowed them
selves to get far away from the Legislative
chamber during the continuance Of pro-
ceedings, lest the democrats and the in
surgents suddenly determine upon q coup
and succeed in overturning the Speaker.
With the insurgents thus in revolt, the
normal republican majority is very small.
The situation in that regard is very like
the days of the fifty-first Congress when
the late Speaker Reed had only a margin
of about half-dozen votes behind him.
There has been much talk about insur-
gent sentiment in New England. It has
been voiced by the Vermont Congress-
men, especially by Representative Foster,
of Burlington, who is pretty well known
in the Pine Tree State. But the Maine
representatives have no sympathy with it.
They are staunchly for the Presidents
legislative program, and ready to vote on
his bills any day they can be presented in
the House and brought to test.

1t is buck, which weighed about 200
pounds, and has a particularly fine head.
There are few brown hairs on the fore

with these exceptions the animal is en-

them was one SO intensely bright and
large, with long tail, that he watched
spellbound. 1t was travelling very fast
among the other stars, and finally moved
toward earth, shedding sparks of light in
its wake, when it suddenly disappeared,
not falling to earth, as Mr.. Tibbetts ex-
pected, but darting into black cloud that
had appeared and obliterated this strange
star from view, and growing larger until
the whole sky was shrouded in darkness.

Representative Richard Barthoidt, of
Missouri, chairman of the public build
ings committee, was very much occupied
with some river and harbor projects now
coming to head before the rivers and har-
bors committee, and for that reason dele
gated Gov. Burieigh, the ranking member
of the committee, to act in his stead. The
project will eventually be referred to a
subcommittee, in charge OF projects for
New England. Gov. Burleigh has been
chairman Of that SUBJ committee for a
number of years.
He has quite a number of Maine pro-
jects to take care of, whenever il is de-
cided to have general public buildings
bill. The idea prevails that there will be
no such bill this session, although there
is great pressure for it. In case there is a
bill this year Gov. Burleigh will naturally
try to obtain appropriations for buildings
for Maine towns, where sites have already
been purchased. Gardiner is a town in
point. Then he will probably seek to OBJ
tain something for sites in Maine towns.
That is the method he has followed very
successfully in getting number of pub
lie buildings for Maine. 1t does not in
volve such large appropriation as authori-
cations OF site and structure would in
| one bill, and is therefore more easily OBJ
tanned. 1t causes no serious delay, for it
| takes year or two to purchase site, and
| by that time another public buildings bill
is passed carrying an appropriation for the
structure.
