Search Me, By George

Thus spoke Theodore Roosevelt
when asked what his new party
would be named.
No one has any intention of search
ing Theodore. He is unsearchable
He is past understanding.
Surely Col. Roosevelt has busy
summer before him. First of all. he
is bound by his declaration 10 carry
forward the plans OF his new party
through its convention days, through
the furore of a campaign. through
defeat in November, to the days
when, in the quiet of Oyster Bay he
can reflect to his hearts content on
the wreckage he has wrought.
That's one little thing mapped out
for the Colonel.
Then he has few books to write
--historico-po litico novels. He has
already one pretty we'll underway.
We haven't searched Theodore for
the title of the book but we have a
very faint suspicion that he is to call
it "The Meaning of Friendship" He
will consider his relations with Taft
how he got him his portfolio as
Secretary of War, then how he Sc
cured for him his nomination and
later his election as President of the
United States 1t will be a most in
raaHinp
There will be many things now dark
made light, and many things light
will be made dark. That was always
easy for the Colonel. We are send
ing him a little excerpt clipped from
the pages of one of his numerous
books. and in which he praises Taft
to the very skies, lauding him as one
whom he has known long and in
timately, as man of rock-bound
qualities, never to be shaken, not
even by Theodore 1t was a master
" setting. forth of the splendid quail
fications of the President, then the
nominee.
Another book, now in press, is call
ed ME and the Government" The
position of ME" suggests the rela-
tive importance of the American gov
eminent and Mr. Roosevelt. 1t will
deal largely with the demands of the
people for Roosevelt-the great pop
ular uprising that shook the very
8 a Ell hot Inc Ice
ed to Theodore the nomination at
Chicago. 1t will concern itself large
ly with Me" Else why should it be
written by the Colonel?
So the summer is likely to be fairly
busy for the great statesman-the
fellow who has lately done every
thing within his power to break the
back of the party that has several
times honored him with great Offices.
We hope the summer will be pleas
ant one for Theodore.
And we hope that every last plan
which he makes in the way of the
formation of the new party that
means a Democratic President, and
Democratic free trade, and the whole
stock-jobbery of Democracy-that
every 'ost plan will fall so fiat That
pan cake is no comparison.
And those broken plans will be the
best monument to the man whose
motto in these latter days is Rule
or Ruin"
Our compliments to Theodore!

Would Work convlcts on Roads

California has the parole system,
but 1t has also, unluckily, Its fair
share of convicts who can not be
trusted at large, and 1t is now pro-
posed to have a chain gang help in
planting trees for the beautiful forty
two-mile highway which Is to be con-
structed from Sacramento through
Greenback lane. The trees will be
placed 100 feet apart, and varieties
will alternate, one kind running for
three or four miles along the way.
It Is expected that as an attraction
this handsome loop" highway will be
second only to Del Paso park.

One of the down-riyer dailies is
running a quarter-page ad. eXtolling
the merits of its news service to
Skowhegan patrons and calling their
attention to its special wire and
it's ability to print the news CD up
to the hour of going to press. They
sure print the news and then some.
What isn't news, and that is the
greater part of it, is mythology
What isn't pure fiction is either mis-
statement or knock against the
town. Their CORRESPONDENT has got
a crouch against the town and never
looses a chance to express it.
Hardly an issue comes out but
what contains some reference to the
place in a slurring manner. Every
time. he gets a call down for his mis-
representation his reply is they
never knock a dead one" He sure
belongs in Roosevelt's Ananias club.

A PICTURE OF CAMP TILDEN,

The State library has bought crayon
view of Camp Tilden winter quarters as
it appeared when occupied by the 10th
Maine Regiment in 1864. This camp was
located near Mitchell's station, Virginia,
and the crayon represents it as it ap-
peared March 16, 1864.
This crayon is of particular interest to
Maine people from the fact that the
colonel of this regiment was Charles W.
Tilden of Hallowell, and the lieutenant
colonel, Gen. Augustus B. Farnham of
Bangor, former adjutant general of the
State of Maine. The other field officer
was Major A. D. Leavltt.
The crayon shows the brigade head
quarters, regimental headquarters,
hospital, chapel, suffers tent and the
tents of the line officers, as we'll as the
camps of the men. The rebel camp in
the distance also appears upon the
crayon.
This very valuable crayon will soon be
placed. in suitable case, and with the
history of the 10Th Maine, by Major A
R. Small, which also has place in the
State House library, will prove a very
valuable record of that regiment.
Another view of Camp Tilden is shown
in the history just mentioned, but it does
not give as good general idea of the
camp as does this crayon.

The freight engine on the Belfast branch is
onto its yearly job setting fires along its way
and keeping people on the jump. We shall be
glad when the grass gets green enough to
lessen the danger. A large crew was out Fri
day afternoon fighting fire on the Morgan farm.
Wednesday afternoon a fire started near the
village schoolhouse and another near the resi-
dence of o. B. McKechnie, which called for
some lively fighting for little while. Mrs
Maude Mudgett spent the week end with her
father, Mather Monroe, in Troy. Blanche

she will spend the summer at o. B. McKech-

pleasant evening was passed in conversation

in the crowd, his quick wit and jokes kept the
company laughing and it was surprising in one
of his years. Lemonade, cake and CORRECTION

and each.left the good wish that they might
meet to celebrate his Tooth birthday.
