A Belfast citizen remarked the
other day that it was strange President
Taft had not sent a message of sympa-
thy to Col Roosevelt, as so many others
had done. But he had, and this was his
message:
am greatly shocked to hear of the
outrageous and deplorable assault made
upon you, and earnestly hope and pray
that your recovery may be speedy and
without suffering. w. H. TAFT.
Thursday President Taft received tele-
grams from Col. Roosevelt and Mrs.
Roosevelt, thanking him for the mes
sages he sent from New York shortly
after the colonel was wounded. The fol-
lowing despatch was signed by Col.
Roosevelt:
81 appreciate your sympathetic in
curry and wish to thank you for it,
Mrs. Roosevelt said:
my family and l unite in thanks for
your kind expression of sympathy"
Boston Transcript: 1.-THE man or men,
who regardless of whether their acts
are popular or not, stand up for econo-
mical administration and against legal
lied graft, should receive the approval
and support of all well-disposed and
ober-minded citizens. It is such an
attitude that President Taft has taken
and consistently maintained. So far as
it has been within his power, he has
made almost new record for economi-
cal government. He has made no play
to the galleries. In fact he has seemed
to be unconscious of any galleries to
play to, and people haye said that he
was not good, or at least a shrewd
politician. Perhaps they were right;
but he has tried, with results proved
successful, to make good President.

The issue this year is prosperity VS..
soup kitchens. With the continuance of
the present administration there will be
a continuance of prosperity; with Dem
ocratic free trade president and Con-

closed factories, as was the case under
President Cleveland.

In recent article John Hays Ham
mond, tie famous mining engineer, says
that the tariff or the trusts are not to
be blamed for high prices, and that under
free trade conditions would be infinitely
worse. And what is more, he proves
concluslvely to every unprecedented mind
that this is a correct diagnosis of ex-
listing conditions. AS to the high cost of
living, that is not peculiar to this coun-
try, but is worldwide. The present
Payne-Aldrich tariff law is not in any
great degree responsible, as the rise in
prices began before that law was passed,
and there has been rise in prices of
many commodities that were trans
ferred by that law to the free list,
and decline in the prices of many
commodities the duties on which were
not changed by the tariff Mr.. Ham,
mond cites from the report Of the
chief Of the bureau of statistics of the
department of agriculture for the year
1910, which shows that while the aver
age increase in the prices of articles pur-
chased by the farmer was only IL per
cent, the average rate in increase of the
product in acreage values was 72 per
cent, or six times as much. Take the
one item of corn, for example. Compare
the purchasing value of corn in March,
1896 with its purchasing value in March,
1910. In 1896 ten bushels of corn would
have purchased 211 pounds of coffee,
whereas in 1910 it would have purchased
70 pounds of coffee. And so with many
other articles of daily consumption, and
to carpets, to cotton fannels, to shirt
ings, to sheetings, to coal, to petro-
leum, etc. Therefore," says Mr..
Hammond, sit is evident that the
farmer is beneficiary of the protec-
tive tariff, and he is beginning to real
ize the fact that his best market is
the home market, and that the home
market is primarily dependent upon local
industrial development, which, in turn.
depends upon the maintenance of pro-
tective tariff" Mr.. Hammond finds
that the greater part of those who are
opposed to a protective tariff are nom
producers those who do not belong to
the industrial or the agricultural classes
and although they do not derive direct
and tangible benefits from the operation
of the tariff, they nevertheless derive
their livelihood indirectly from the main
tenance of prosperous industrial and
commercial conditions, which depend d.

John c. Scates suggesting that the Uni
versity of Maine should establish course
in highway engineering and construction;
and no one can question the necessity
for instruction in this direction. Every
one will agree with Mr.. Scates state
ment that, "There is no department of
the public service where so much of the
public fund is wasted, and in many cases
worse than lost, for frequently the roads
are injured rather than benefited by the
so-called repairs, than in the construc-
ton and maintenance of our highways"
Mr. Scates estimates that "thirty per
cent of the money now expended on the
roads of Maine is dissipated;" but we
have heard the percentage reckoned
much higher than that-as high as rs per
cent. In many cases coat of gravel on
a properly drained and graded road
would give better results than the So
called State road and at much less cost.
At the meeting of the Governor and
Council in Augusta last week Hon.
Herbert L. Shepherd of Rockport
startled the council by stating that the
$4,000 State road between Rockland and
Rockport is unsafe for horse travel;
that horses are falling down on it all the
time. He suggested the appropriation
of money to build another road along
side of it where. man can drive pair
of horses. Like complaints of this road
have been heard for some time, and this
is also true of piece of road in this city,
built at large expense to the tax payers.
'The sinister system" formed deep
laid plot to control the present presi-
dental election, Thomas W. Lawson of
Boston told the Senate campaign con-
tributions committee in Washington Oct.
18th: but he was careful to impress upon
the committee that he knew only in
general way" of the alleged colossal
scheme to nominate and elect candi-
date Satisfactory to the Wall street in
terests." The conspiracy of the Wall
street interests, of which Mr.. Lawson
knew, Sin general way" included, he
declared, the defeat of COL Roosevelt at
the Republican national convention, the
nomination of President Taft and the IN
lection of Col. Roosevelt into the cam
paign as third party candidate, "to
split the Republican party" All this
without the knowledge or consent of Col.
Roosevelt. Then, Mr.. Lawson knew,
Sin general way" mysterious fund
of $1,000,000 had been raised in Wall
street to deadlock the Democratic con-
vention at Baltimore, prevent the nomi-
nation of any of the candidates before
the convention, and to name a dark
horse satisfactory to the System" who
was to be elected. II communicated
this information to Mr.. Bryan at Chicago
during the Republican convention, said
Mr.. Lawson "and as result Mr.. Wilson
was nominated and the scheme failed"
Of course this is very important, if true;
but Mr.. Lawson's statements were I'M
supported by any evidence whatever and
may well be attributed to his own i'm
aginings. A good deal depends upon
which side of the market he is on, and
how he has placed his political bets.

When a University of Maine farming
special came to Belfast few years ago
and stopped over night, one of our local
farmers said he wished it might stay a
week that he could have more time to
study the object lessons it presented and
avail himself of the instruction it offered.
The Boston Herald says, editorially, of
these farming specials:
The idea of the special agricultural
train is less than decade old, but in
parts of the West it has become an in
stitution which is credited with adding
many million dollars to the crops and to
the value of farm property. Often there
are trains devoted to special phases of
farming. The corn specials were the
first, and wheat trains, oat trains, dairy
trains, hog trains and good road trains
have followed.
Commenting on the official returns Of
the September election in this State, re-
Gently published, the Boston Herald says
of the failure of the Prohibition party
to cast votes enough to keep it on the
official ballot:
But the curious and paradoxical thing
is that there should be any Prohibitory
party at all in Maine, when the prohibi-
tory law is the one big local issue be-
tween the Republicans and Democrats in
that State. Every Prohibitory party
vote is worse than thrown away in that
particular State, for in a close election
the votes for the Prohibition candidates
might easily turn the election against
tha party that has been fighting the real
battle of the Prohibitionist and carry
ing the heavy burden of their pet law.
But plainly there are Prohibitionists in
Maine who put their party name above
their prohibition principles, for their
vote there has gone as high as 4400 with
in decade and has been factor in the
State election since 1880.

news came of the attempt upon his life,
and the New York Herald says that eff

further:
To seek to turn a deliberate attempt
by a mailman on the life of their candi-

thing that appears to be incongruous in
the present situation of anxiety. This
is said candidly, but in kindness.
