Probably the only case of its kind
IN the history of the Navy Depart.
ment developed when Thomas Harri.
son, chief clerk in the Naval Obser-
Tatory, asked to he transferred to a
position with less salary, for the good
of the service.
Mr. Harrison is the oldest clerk
from the point of service, In the Navy
Department. On the 9Th of this month
he will have been an employee of the
department sixty-three years. He wen,
10 the navy the year following the
Mexican war and has served continu-
ously ever since.
Old age has come on him, however
and he feels his usefulness waning
He has volunteered, therefore, to take
a position Of less responsibility ant
less pay. When he first approached
Assistant Secretary Beekman Win.
throp about 1t. the official refused tc
approve the transfer, taking the po
sitiOn that an employe with the rec
ord of faithful service now to the
credit of Harrison should earn hin
all the money possible, regardless o.
advanced age.
The old clerk, however, renewed hi,
request and personally explained the
situation to his superior. After thi,
FIR. Winthrop stood aside and ordered
that the transfer be made. Mr.. Harr
son will be a sl,40O a year clerk in
stead of receiving $1,000 year a
chief clerk.

that problem with him and with the
people.
But as a most fragrant violation of
the fundamental principle OF self
government and distrust of the
people, and a denial of all previous
pledges for an economical administrat
ton of public affairs, / want To call
your attention to another matter. which
has been advanced and put through
the special session of the Legislature.
now sitting at Augusta, by our Dem
ocratic leaders. AS an additional ex
cuse for a special session OF the Lesis-
lature, the Governors special message
calling the same, claimed that some
amendments We're needed to our cleo
ton laws. What they We're, was not
stated 1t was new idea, and We
We're all set to guessing as to what
was intended. The newspapers told us
that it was because two or three town
clerks in the different parts Of the
State made a mistake in figuring, and
it was evident that the Democratic
bosses were much enrased when they
found the correction of these figures
changed the majority vote on resub-
mission from yes TO no
Perhaps our Democratic friends
thought that n Legislature could
change the election laws. ST. that the
town clerks could be made to add cor
rectly, for nobody as yet has pointed
cut where there was any trouble with
these laws. | wish ] could be led to
believe that men could be made honest
by Legislative enactment that they
could even pe made to make correct
returns on every occasion. that the
element Of human error might ne OBJ
liberated from our nature. and that
we might at last witness the creation
of a perfect man. What a beautiful
record for a Democratic Legislature,
How grand and magnificent in contem :
plationi Perhaps such was the ambi-
ton of our Governor when he called
the special session, and if he honestly
believed that it could he accomplished,
I don't know as | would criticise him
for the unnecessary extra expense i'm
posed upon our tax payers as the re-
suit thereof.

in my hand-and without reading it
in detail, | want to say that the first
thing that every loyal citizen of
Maine should do within the 80 days
after the adjournment of the special
sessions of the Legislature, is to sign
q petition for referendum of this
act TO the people. Let us proceed
at once to use the new method Of
legislation. the referendum. Let US

bic of local self government or not.

"a hours after they are made. We

that viii compel him, if. honest, to
keep within the limits of legitimate ex-
penses, such as he will not be asham-
cd to publish to the world. OF all the
reasons which have brought about the
condition of the public mind above re-
ferred 10, the use of money in obtain
ing nominations, and effecting Legisla-
ture, has been the principal cause.
This with the influence of the saloon

upon the public mind. and led to the
greatest distrust OF the public servant.
and done the most to undermine what
we have understood in the past to be
representative government. 1t seems
10 ME that the natural patriotic in
stinct of the average American citizen
ought to lead him to serve his country
as faithfully in times of peace as an
officer of civil government, as it does
in times of war when he is supposed
10 face danger and possible death in
his eountiys behalf, and the courage
Of simple honesty is all that is re-
quired.
Our opponants, the Democratic party
III Mhlile, are making great ella ms Tor
local self government. The cornerstone
in their platform has been to "let the
people rule" We as Republicans take
no issue with them upon this princi-
pie. They have asked, will the peo-
pie be honest" and we have replied,
THE people are honest" We agree
with them that the people have the
right to rule, that our fundamental
law demands that they shall rule.
They have asked that the voice of the
people may be heard in this State up
on great moral issue Many of us
Republicans were willing this ques-
ton should be asked and have long
been anxious that the answer should
be received. We. as Republicans, have
heard the answer of the people and
think we understand it, And we kind
ly ask our Democratic friends if they
know the voice of the people when
they hear it. We think not.
Governor Plaisted, in his recent call
for an extra session Of the Legislature,
as il seems To me. failed totally TO hear
the voice Of the people. as expressed al

of $241i .96775. This would be a re-
markable showing, so remarkable in
fact that one wonders that it did not
occur to the official putting it out that
its Very magnitude would create sus-
picion.
And when | read it / was curious to
know Whether a single administration
has been found that could be given
no more. spend no less, and have so
much more left. ! began To study the
details to ascertain whether they had
really done this by exercising true
economies and without receiving more
from the people to do with; or wheth-
or the people had really paid more for
the States burdens and got less back

tons. 1t is not easy to make exact
comparisons of figures from the re-
ports from year TO year, because they
are classified differently and the va
rious items of income are not always
received on the same relative dates.
But the average results may be reach
ed with substantial accuracy.
