Some Wonderful Old People.

Margaret E. Sangster, writing of
youth and old age in the August Wo.
mans Home Companion says: "Oliver
Wendell Holmes, who retained youth in
its sparkling eff1orescence to the very
end; Edward Everett Hale, whose be-
nignant wisdom and humor never suffer
ed the slightest diminution; Julia Ward
Howe, as exquisite in age as she had
been charming in youth; Rebecca Hard
ing Davis, strong, cultured and sincere
through all the years till the last one
came, are fine examples of the imperish-
able vitality of youth beneath the mask
of age. There are plenty of people or
the stage still, living and working anc
serving in the ranks, but they need nc
mention. AS they look in the mirror,
Time, peeping over their shoulders, gives
them glance of friendly greeting
Time, the immortal, always young, al
ways old, always going forward"

NEBRASKA ENDORSES TAFT.

LINCOLN, Neb., July Is. Nebraska
Republicans, in convention here today,
gave President Taft and his administra-
ton strong Endorsement and effectively
blocked all efforts Of a small band of in
surgent delegates to arouse sentiment
for Senator Robert M. LaFollette of
Wisconsin as a presidential candidate.
The platform resolution as adopted was,
in part. as follows:
"Reioicing in the glorious record of
the Republican party, which has given
the nation the illustrious names of Lin
coin, Grant, Garfield, Mckinley, Roose-
Welt and Taft, and reaffirming our devo-
ton to Republican principles, we, the Re-
publicans of Nebraska, congratulate the
country on its continued peace, progress
and prosperity, under the wise guidance
of our Republican president.
The arbitration treaties whose nego-
tiation he has inspired mark a notable
step toward world peace, and in only les
ser degree his tactfulness in maintaining
neutrality and avoiding international
complications during the revolution in
Mexico. He is proving his devotion to
the right policy of conservation of our
natural resources. He is prosecuting
the illegal trusts and combines without
fear or favor. He is instituting reforms
in the administration of the government
which make for economy and efficiency.
We have every confidence in the unset
fish patriotism and devotion to public
duty of William Howard Taft and we
heartily indorse his statesmanlike ad-
ministraton.
1--WE commend our Republican repre-
sentatives in both branches of congress
for the conscientious and patriotic man
ner in which they have met the great is
sues confronting them"

THIRTY-FIVE STANDARD OIL CON-
PANIES.

The papers report that the Standard
Oil Company, obeying to the best of its
ability the recent decision of the Supreme
Court, is being split up into thirty-five
companies. Each holder of a certificate
for one share of Standard Oil stock is to
receive thirty-fve certificates for stock
IN various companies in place of it. The
Standard, it seems, might be dissolved
INTO 125 companies, since it includes that
many, but it is advised that if split up
into thirty-tive it will probably be legal.
Of course these changes involve huge
amount of work. Of course, too, they
are economically wasteful. They may
send up the price of oil and the other
petroleum products. That is a sad re-
Election, but the fight against the monop-
olistic corporations is not Immediately
fight for cheaper commodities, but for
restriction of power. Competition is
still, we suppose, the life of trade and
the great incentive to cheapening of all
processes of manufacture, but it is an
expensive stimulant when artifcially in
duced. To split up such an organization
as the Standard Oil Company seems like
pulling apart great machine and COM
pelllng its various parts to do their work
separately.
When morals and economics conflict
and morals win, it is excusable for the
philosopher to scratch his head and WON
der how things are going to work out.
That is what the philosophers are doing
abundantly at the present time. They
will have chance to see, for it is evil
dent that the big concerns intend to do
their best to do business legally. But
morals and economics belong together,
and in the end must get together. Effici-
ency is; moral; waste is immoral. -Har-

PUZZLE: FIND THE INTERESTED
PARTIES.

The Democrat is in receipt of an offer
from a press association to furnish a
large quantity of matter in plate form
favoring the license propaganda. This
will be sent free of charge upon the or
der of Interested Parties"
Now the Democrat has no use for any
such matter, free, or even at advertising
rates, thank you. But the puzzle is,
who are the Interested Parties? Could
you guess?
We have been so many times assured
that the rumsellers want prohibition re-
tanned that we know they can't be the
Interested Parties. Nevertheless, Inter-
ested Parties it seems there are; willing
and anxious to pay out their good simol-
cons to the Western Newspaper Union
to furnish plate matter free, in the inter-
est of license, to the newspapers of
Maine.
All, here comes CLEAN of light on the
matter. Perhaps we shall find out who
these Interested Parties are.
In the very next mail there comes a
large leafiet from the recently organized
Maine Non-Partisan Local Self-Govern-
ment League, giving opinions as to the
futility of prohibition from quite num-
Der OF prominent men, including Presi-
dent Taft, Lyman Abbott, several gov
ernors, and list of Bishops and Rev
erends, only very few of whom ever
lived in prohibition territory.
And a little later comes a Bulletin
published under the auspices of the same
Supported by voluntary contributions
only Alphabet League, which contains
some of the same and other expressions
as to the futility of prohibition, from
men of prominence who have never
lived under prohibitory law.
Yes, now we can guess who the Inter-
ested Parties are. The men who are
furnishing the money to pay for these
plates land perhaps who are also paying
for the literature circulated by the Maine
Mp. L. S. G. League are President
Taft, Lyman Abbott, Woodrow Wilson,
and the Bishops and Reverends, who are
SO interested in our campaign that they
are willing to pay for the dissemination
of the gospel of license in Maine.
1t isn't the liquor manufacturers and
sellers who are the Interested Parties.
Oh, no!

THE MAINE CROP OUTLOOK.
[B. Walker McKeen in the N. Y Tribune
Farmer1

tarmer.1
| am Just home from an extend I'd trip
over the State, and must confess that |
am at loss to know just how to outline
crop conditions. There seems to be con-
tradicting appearances everywhere, as
in some places where one would expect
to find things at their best they appear
to be at their worst, while in other places
the reverse appears to be true. One
thing is certain, however, that not for
many, many years has the State as
whole been IN the grasp of so severe
drouth as it is at this writing July 17th).
This condition has caused extensive
forest fires and induced them to spread
so much so that large areas Of virgin for
est have been burned over and many
buildings and some whole villages have
been destroyed. The end is not yet in
sight, but the vigilance of the State
authorities and land owners has served
to check the fires materially, and indica-
lions now are that the worst is over.
One popularity of the situation is that,
so far as know, not one of these fires
has caught from railroad
The crops-what shall be said of them?
Some Aroostook potato fields are show
ing the effects of the drouth by the dried
and withered appearance Of their leaves,
while others are bright, fresh and rich
with color in the bloom that prevails.
This is year that tries mems souls and
also tests, as nothing else could, the
merits of scientific farm methods. Taken
as whole, unless the drouth continues
for quite time longer there will be pota-
toes for sale in the county in sufficient
quantities, under the prices that must
prevail, to bring at least the usual amount
of money into the county. The grass
fields are not suffering so much, and,
with the exception of the very oldest
fields and some of the newly seeded
areas, will yield their usual crop. Grain
is excellent, as rule, and the county
will be rich in Its crop of oats and wheat
under the present conditions of the mar
kets.
The States average condition of grass
and grain is not far, if any, below nor
NAL, and what it lacks in quantity will be
fully made up in the superior quality,
caused by its having grown in so much
sunshine and by the perfect curing which
results from dry weather.
Corn, that great drouth resistant crop,
the crop whose business it is to store the
summer sunshine for winter use, is gen.

THE REASONS FOR MY VOTE.

On the retention or rejection Of State
wide prohibition, let me say:
l. Every drunkard, criminal, evil
minded person, that can vote, will vote
to reject i'll shall not vote with them.
q The combined liquor traffic desires
this more than it desires almost anything
i shall not vote to give it its desire.
3. This is part of a series; and es-
pecially in New England New
Hampshire, the earliest; next, Vermont,
the next earliest; now, the hardest, and
therefore the biggest triumph, Maine.
shall not vote to put on the capstone to
this kind of progressive" campaign
ing of the liquor traffic.
4. The Argument is: conditions are
bad. This is proposition to make them
worse.
(a) At the worst, say in Bangor,
things are not as bad as in license towns,
say in Massachusetts, of like size. l
know, for most of my pastoral life was in
that State. The people of Maine as a
whole are quite misinformed about the
terrible conditions in the license towns of
Massachusetts,.
(b) License withdraws public repro
baton; the rs or more places to be IL
eensed in Bangor, otherwise under ban
and hiding away, come out on the best
streets, get the best corners (they can
afford then1), open elegant places and
thrust the traffic on the public offensive
Iy; and they do it with the approval of
the State by vote given, instead of, as
now, under its reprobation.
(c) Far more liquor will be sold.
(d) The thing will get into politics;
license must be had there will need to
be liquor lobby in every city hall and
town house to handle the licenses. Poll
tics are dirty enough without the aGdi-
ton of this sort of third estate.
Not by my vote will a bad condition of
things be made anywhere from Is to 200
per cent worse.

Attack Like Tigers.

In fighting to keep the blood pure the white
corpuscles attack disease germs like tigers.
But often germs multiply SO fast the little
fighters are overcome. Then see pimples,
boils, eczema, salt-rheum and sores multiply
and strength and appetite fail. This condition
demands Electric Bitters to regulate stomach,
liver and kidneys and to expel poisons from
the blood. "They are the best blood purifier"
writes c. T. Budahn, of Tracy, Calf, 81 have
ever found" They make rich, red blood,
strong nerves and build up your health. Try

Still cows, young cattle, milk and milk
