back one can see an immense amount of
work has already been accomplished dur
ing his administration.
1t is conservatively estimated that the
4th of March, 1910, will see the country
fully SO, 900, 900. 900 richer than on the
18th of March, 1909. Farm values have
advanced most substantially, as have
city values, and the worth of all securi
ties. Every one in the country is or can
be at work and the volume and value of
production and consumption is at the
highest level in our history.
Besides the immense increase in bank
clearings, in building operations and the
output of farms and factories is the salts
factory increase in revenue, amounting
to some $40, 600 900 since the enactment
OF the new tariff law as compared with
the same months year ago. In fact,
our revenue has been since the first of
December about equal to our eXpendi-
lures, and it is safe to predict that the
deficit for the year will be very SMALL if
not wiped out altogether.
There will be no tariff war with any
foreign nation. The maximum and mini
mum provisions of our new law will soon
be in effect with all countries, and we
shall get the minimum rates for our ex-
ports in every case, so that it is hardly
probable that our maximum rates
will be imposed in single instance. This
proves again the wisdom of the trainers
of the new law, and shows, as the Presi-
dent and others have declared, that it is
the best tariff law we have ever had.
1t would seem then that with this good
showing that the Republican majorities
in the next House of Representatives
would be increased in spite of Democrat
ic predictions that they will win next
November. But no one takes this Demo-
cratic prediction seriously. 1t is the
business of that party to foresee oisas-
ter and calamity and to gain their victor
les in the Spring while the Republicans
gain theirs in the Fall.
The Democrats gloated over the fact
that the Sixth District of Missouri,
which is always Democratic, was carried
by a Democrat in the recent special cleo
ton, but they do not ada that their can
didate got some 1000 less votes than the
usual Democratic vote of the district.
While there have been fractional diff
ferences in the Republican party they
have been laid aside for the present, and
there will be a concerted effort to carry
out the Presidents policies and redeem
all party pledges as well as secure har-
mony in the States for general Repub-
lican victory next November. The Re-
publicans are getting together in New
York, Ohio, Indiana and other States,
and by midsummer, when the actual
campaign begins, there will be harmony
and united effort in every State and
Congressional district

CAUSE OF
DEBILITY
Is to Be Looked for in the Con-
dition of the Blood.
Experience of a Baltimore Man
Who Was Badly Ron Down
From Overwork.

Thin blood is the most frequent cause
of debility. AS the supply of blood sent
to the brain does not carry sufficient
nourishment the patient is dull and
drowsy, the nerves become starved and
there are marked nervous SYMPTOMS.
As the blood and nerves control diges-
ton the stomach suffers from lack of
tone and the victim loses weight and
strength.
The treatment for this condition is to
build up the blood and blood tonic
that also directly strengthens the nerves
is best suited to promote rapid and per-
manent improvement. Such a remedy
is Dr. Williams Pink Pills.
Mr. w. J. Daily, of No. 1912 South
Paca street, Baltimore, Md, recon-
mends DIR. Williams Pink Pills to any
one in need of tonic. He says:
'1n 1907 | was i'll a general rundown
condition from overwolk. | had severe
pains through the shoulders, across the
chest, and the small of the back. The
pains across my back We're so severe
that could hardly straighten up FIRE.
quently there We're sharp pains through
out my body which felt as though | was
being cut with knife. My suffering
became so intense that 1 was greatly re-
duced in flesh.
cat first doctored myself but found
no help after trying several different
remedies. Then I was treated by the
doctors but they also failed to help me.
l had been sick for year before learn
ed of DR.. Williams Pink Pills through
talking with friend. decided to give
the pills trial and had taken them only
short time before l noticed they were
helping me. My appetite picked up and
I was able to get good nights rest.
Soon was entirely free from pain in my
back and gained in weight. My cure
was complete and I am still in good
health"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills have been
used with equally good results and are
recommended for anemia, chlorosis,
rheumatism, lumbago, and the after
effects of the grip and fevers.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are sold by
all druggists, or sent postpaid, on re-
ceipt of price, 80 cents per box; six
boxes for $3.50. by the DR.. Williams

BACK TO THE SOIL.

1t is an encouraging sign that so much
newspaper and personal talk is being
made over the recent recommendation of
DR.. Harvey W. Wiley that struggling
city residents should take to New Eng
land farms. His declaration that mod
ern systems of intensive farming will
make the cultivation of abandoned lands
profitable is true.
New England soil is not worn out, and
in the past few years farming methods
have so changed that any practical
farmer, if he be Industrious, can make a
living, and more, off a small acreage in
this latitude. For $500 young man,
willing to work, may purchase enough
land in any Of. the New England States
on which to support in comfort a grow
ing family. That more of them are not
now living that independent life is large
ly due to the desire to live in cities and
wear more stylish clothes than farmers
usually do.
There are many thoughtless young
people, half starved and always depend
ent, who speak slightingly Of those in
the rural districts as ''yaps" and "jays."
The real ''yaps" and the genuine Jays"
are the young men of the cities eating
at cheap lunch counters and sleeping in
hall bedrooms.
;, with the eyer-increa!sing fereeness Of
preferment, and the meanness of the ex-
istence it so frequently entails, there is
gradually growing an appreciation of the
dignity and independence of those who
wrest livelihood from the soil.
Far fields are ever green, but right
here at home are great opportunities for
ern methods. Boston Globe.

LONGFELLOW'S DAY.
Movement for an Annual Observance of the
Poets Birthday.
r. n. MOODY, DRUGGIST

Lovers of Longfellow will note with
pleasure that there is movement on
foot to make Longfellow day an an
nual event in the public schools of this
State. 1t is not meant to make the oc-
casion public holiday, but to set aside
the afternoon of Feb. q each year for
the observance of Longfellow day.
On TINS occasion it is proposed to have
LongtelloW program that will prove a
musical and literary feast. 1t is planned
to have recitations and readings from
Longfellow's best known poems,
sketches of his life. character and writ
lngs; short quotations by all the pupils
IN each school and singing of such of
Longtellow's songs as have been set to
music by advanced music students or
we'll known rdblic singers who will be in
vlted to contribute to the success of the
various occasions.
Mr.. and Mrs. George Thornton Ed
wards of Portland are the originators of
the movement. Mr.. Edwards has re-
ceived the following letter from Gov
ernor Fernald:
DEAR Mr.. EDwARDs:-I acknowledge re-
ceipt of your kind favor of the End, and note
there is a movement to set aside Feb 81 to
be observed as Longfellow day in public
schools. This, l am sure, will meet the ap
proval of all good citizens. In fact, cannot
conceive of anything more appropriate, and
especially so in the City of Portland. l hope
the day may be properly observed and be-
come an annual event. not only in the City Of
Portland but universally in our good State
of Maine.
Yours very respectfully,
BERT M. FERNALD.
Payson Smith, State Superintendent
of Schools wrote tt Mr.. Edwards as fol-
lows: Il am glad to endorse heartily a
plan for holding exercises in all the
schools as part of the school program
for the day. | certainly hope the Gus
tom may be extended until no Maine
school will permit the day to pass with
out proper recognition.
AS the poets birthday falls on Sunday
this year, Longfellow day will be OBJ
served on the afternoon of Feb. 20.
On the other hand the Rockland Opin-
ion says: 1.-The governor is sure the
idea will meet the approval Of all good
citizens, and hopes the day will become
an annual event, which it probably
will, whether school keeps or not. At
the risk of being classed as undesirable
citizens, quite number OF people who
are allowed to be at large and pay taxes,
think this and other schemes of bothera-
ton in the public schools are all rot. We
yield not to governors or school superin-
tendents in admirable of Longfellow's
literary works, or in pride that our State
furnished so distinguished an ornament
of the world of letters. But if we can t
do homage to his fame otherwise than
by interrupting the work of every school
in the State and setting an army of kids
to mangling his immortal lines simulta-
neously on his birthday, we will consent
to dwell with the Philistines and take
social pot-luck with them. There are
too many darned days now, anyhow;
and if we must have Longfellow day,
let us by all means devote our own time
to it and not demoralize school work any
more than we have to in order to air
already established fads.'

chow THE STORY CREW."

SEARsPoRT, February It, The confer
ence room was we'll filled last night when
the committee from the ladies' guild of
the First Congregational church gave a
supper, followed by cute little farce in
several scenes entitled, How the Story
Grew. The supper, which was served at
6 o'clock, was all that could be desired
and several Of the tables were laid a
second time. The committee was: Mrs.
A. T. Whittier, president, Mrs. Fred
Swift, Mrs. F. A. Nye, Mrs. C. H. Nc
Elhiney and Mrs. Laura Closson. Last
night these ladies were assisted by sew
eral of the young girls of the society who
served as mattresses, among them Miss
Mabel Mckinney, Miss Laura Trundy,
Miss Ruth Trundy, Miss Olive Ridley,
Miss Lena Nye, Miss Edna Carter and
Miss Shirley Carter.
Following the supper the farce was
given and it was a scream from start
to finish. The costumes and makeups
were killingly funny and evidently every
attic in Searsport had been ransacked
for head-gear, gowns and false hair. 1t
was hard to recognize old friends in the
following cast: Mrs. Brown, Mrs. w. E.
Grinnell; Mrs. Green, Mrs. F. A. Nye;
Mrs. Doc Little, Mrs. Fred Smith; Mrs.
Bean, Mrs. j. F. Wheaton; Mrs. White,
Mrs. A. T. Whittier; Mrs. Snow, Mrs.
N. F. Gilkey; Mrs. Rice, Mrs. B. F. Col
cord; Mrs. Taylor, Mrs. Fred Swift. How
the Story Grew was plainly shown during
the progress of the play and the lines and
business" were the cause for much
laughter and applause.
A part of the performance not down
on the program, but which added no end
of fun, was the presentation Of bouquets
to the ''stars,'' each and all receiving
her share. One got lemon on a gaily
decorated handle, surrounded with green
paper leaves; another doughnut, in
similar guise; a cabbage, wonderfully
gotten up, formed another, while still
another beautiful creation was made up
of beets. As each bowed her thanks the
audience applauded generously, and this
part of the performance was by no means
least enjoyable. Miss Lillian Mowry pre-
sided at the piano giving several numbers
much enjoyed by the audience.

WASHINGTON, D. c., February 81, 1910
Not in years has Congress made the
progress which has been made at the
present session. Already nearly half the
appropriation bills have been passed or
on the way to passage, while the rest
are nearly ready to report. The bills so
far passed have shown that the Republi-
cans will keep the pledge of the Presi-
dent and leaders, that the strictest econ
omy possible will be followed out. With
the appropriation bills so we'll advanced
early consideration will be given the rec
concentrations of the President and sew
eral, if not all of them, will be enacted
into law. The House has already passed
bills to admit New Mexico and Arizona
as States and to establish bureau of
Mines and Mining. The Postal Savings
bill is now before the Senate and several
other bills are ready to be reported.
Besides the legislation so far complet-
ed is an unusual amount Of investigation
already begun and much more to follow.
The so-called Ballinger investigation is
well under way and committees of both
Senate and House will soon begin most
thorough examination of the cost of liv-
ing. The prosecution of certain trusts
is going on continually, and both the ad-
aministration and Congress are unusually
busy with the work that is thrust upon
them.
President Taft goes about his duties
smilingly, good naturally, calmly and
judiciously, and has already become a
most popular executive. He has the es-
teen and confidence of both parties and
all factions, and is daily growing in
strength as President who knows how
to get things done. His first year as
President is nearly gone, and looking
