As Others See Us.

Maine was ore OF two New England
states where the progressive party ran
second at the recent election. In Yer
mont Roosevelt closely followed Taft in
the poll, while in Massachusetts,, New
Hampshire, Rhode Island and Connect
cut il was Taft who was second to Will
son. But in Maine Roosevelt was second
To Wilson, and received 1900 votes to
5000 for Taft.
This result, which was not unexpected
TO those familiar with the peculiar situa-
ton in Maine, has put the progressive
leaders OF that State in decidedly cocky
mood, and they are laying out a legisia-
tive program which fills the democrats
with great cheer. The State committee of
the progressives met in Bangor the other
day and after a long session behind closed
doors made public their determination to
go 1t alone when the legislature assemblies
in January, to hold q caucus for State Off
Gals and for the officers of the two
branches, and to act as distinct party
upon all measures to come before the legis-
lature.
There was no specific mention OF the
United States senatorship in the resolu-
tons which were made public, but every
body in Maine knows that this is the big
prize at stake.
Nobody knows how many progressives
there viii be in the Maine legislature.
No member was elected under that desig-
nation, for . truce prevailed in the State
campaign and the epublicans were united
at the September election.
The republicans will control both
! branches, and have q majority OF sixteen
on joint ballot, bat il dozen or a score Of
the members who were elected as republic
cans are willing to take their orders from
Chairman Halbert Gardner of the pro-
gressive machine, il viii mean q deadlock
ON organization, State officials and the
United States .senatorship.
1t is more likely that the progressive
leaders = they much prefer not to be
called bosses-are putting themselves in .
position to make q few advantageous
trades for the fat plums and then to ar
range another truce with the regular re-
pubiicans.

breach OF political faith IL any man
elected to the Maine legislature as a re-
publican fails to vote for ex-Gov. Bur-
leigh. He won an overwhelming victory
at the preferential primaries in which
those who nov call themselves progress
sives participated as republicans, and by
the result of which they are morally
bound. He has maintained neutral at
titude in the presidential campaign out Of
respect to bull moose sensibilities. He is
recognized in Washington and elsewhere
as the man best fitted to represent Maine
in the Senate.
The publican members Of the legisla-
ture who may be ordered to bolt him in
favor OF Senator Obadiah Gardner, demo-
crat, or Chairman Halbert Gardner him
self, in defiance Of their popular primary
result, were elected after hard campaign
in which they begged for and were given
substantial financial help from the rep1b-
lican national committee.
Maine progressives should recognize
that the republican party truce OF last
| summer covered the senatorship.

Honor in Politics .

tFoFttoHa EVENING EIprcsesf
Newspaper discussion as to the course Of
Legislators elect, when January hss come,
is, or ought TO be, fruitless. There is
honor in politics. In business q man gives
a monetary bond to carry out his contract.
In politics his bond is one OF honor, far
more sacred than any financial considara-
tion can be.
Ex-Governor Burieigh's nomination as
candidate for United States senator was
made at the same primaries q; which the
republican candidates for the legislature
were selected. His nomination was fairly
made. Every man elected to the legisla-
ture on the republican ticket is under this
bond of honor to elect as a United States
senator the man selected by the repubIi-
can primaries. Any argument to the con-
trary is sophistry.
In Oregon, few years ago under that
states peculiar direct primary law, q leg
islature o: one political faith elected a
senator of the other party, and in
Nebraska to-day similar duty is facing
an incoming legislature.
The Express Advertiser believes that
the men elected as republicans to the
Maine legislature are men of honor. 1t is
totally unable to conceive of any man in
that distinguished body being false to
his pledge to the people, for every one of
them is under such pledge. Otherwise
the direct primary is mockery.
The men who are being urged to forfeit
their political honor are committed to
the doctrine OF the primaries. 1t is one of
the corner stones Of their special doctrine,
and is regarded as not less fundamentally
right by the republicans. To begin the
reign of the people through the primaries
by refusing TO obey the dictates of the
people would be an unthinkaole incon-
sistency.
Those who are advising and trying to
promote such fraudulent representation
are either democrats who see their OPP
portunity to regain power through the d.
vision OF their opponents, or men with
moral astigmatism. We refuse to believe
that the members OF the next Maine iegis-
lature will be Influenced by leaders OF
either class.

"a certain boy in Gouldsboro," says q
correspondent OF the Lewiston Journal,
"thinks fisherman's life is not all roses,
He owns a small weir and pond in the
creek about half-mile from his home,
and has been fishing in il ever since the
smelt season opened. The other morning
the tide served at 2 O'Clock, and the
youthful fisherman lighted his lantern,
took his boat and started for his weir.
When about half way over he lost one car
and was Obliged to return to the shore and
get smother. This time be didn't lose an
oar, but when nearly to the weir his
lantern blew out. He stopped rowing and
tried to reli9ht it, but only succeeded in
wasting three OF his precious eight
matches. Finding that il was useless to
try TO relight the lantern in the boat, he
patiently "a rowed back to shore and
tried to find a sheltered spot. In the lee
of the boat he wasted two matches; in a
ciump Of frs two more, and then as last
resort he crswied under an old boat where
last succeeded IN lighting the lantern, but
the skunk was there, full strength, aud in
his hasty retreat the boy lost his last
match. But that didn't matter much, for
the lantern was lighted and he started
once more for the weir. This time be
reached it. he hung his lantern in one OF
the wings and started to bail when out
went the light. After he trudged home
through the mud and darkness with nine
smells and one small tomcod, he declared
that fishing don't pay, no way You can fix
it.'u

STATE AID.

Just q Few words on the subject o!
State and national aid to roads and will
close. l am heartily In sympathy with the
so-called State road movement, and be-
iieve every town should take advantage
of the assistance offered to its fullest limit
! believe the federal government should
lend encouragement to the better roads
movement by making liberal sppropria-
lions for trunk lines from city TO city and
town to town in each state. Let the gen.
eral government set aside or appropriate
50, ooo, 600 year for term of years--abous
100000 to each state--to go into perma-
nent roads, then, as there is not hing
worth having that Is not worth striving
for, let the State and the counties and
towns combine TO do the rest.
Now, my brother farmer, let as wake up
and talk and think and work 10 some par-
pose in this matter. II 40 wish TO keep
the boys and girls on the farm we mus,
give them a good road TO run the automo-
bile over, and when our Surplus agricul-
tursi products are increasing by leaps and
bounds, is 1t not good economy to pro-
vide ourselves with good roads 10 get
them to market or to the various shipping
points. The Maine Central railroad re-
Gently gave out figures which show that
the agricultural product hauled by them
In the State OF Maine has increased 22A
per cent. since 1905, and still the good
work goes on. To show that good roads
are an economic advantage to as let me
again quote Mr.. Eldridge, who says: 81,
has been demonstrated that one horse on
good gravel road can take to market a.
much as two on common dirt road, and
on a good stone road one horse will do the
work OF four, while ON g level steel road
one horse will do the work of twenty on 9
level dirt road.

necessary in order to construct good
road bed to supply material other than
that found along the way. In my iudg-
ment the Telford rock road would be the
right thing for such places, being cheaper
TO construct than macadam and much less
expensive to maintain. THIS, however,
would necessitste the purchase OF port
able stone-crusher by a town or a union OF
towns. believe this might be both
possible and profitable II the taxpayers Of
town really wanted good roads. but In
case this could not be done, then we have
the next best substitute, the V drain, with
which we are all familiar. Properly con-
strucsed, this answers the purpose quite
as we'll. Certain 1t Is that something OF
the kind must be done as foundation or
we can never have decent road IN such
locations.
There are very many pieces Of road that
can be permanently improved by grayciing.
There are but few towns without one or
more good gravel pits within their limits;
these, il not already owned By the town,
should be acquired at once, then let those

H. we're to offer any suggestion as to
bow this work should be done 1t would
be like this. Use the road machine TO
shape up the roadbed, being sure il is q
good legal width, not too high ditched.
well cleaned out to afford perfect drainage.
and the surface rolled as eompsctly and
evenly as possible, then deposit the gravel
evenly to the depth, say. OF six inches,
again apply the roller and the road drag.
making IT as hrm and smooth as you can,
and be very sure to leave it nicely
crowned, and my word for II, you have q
very beautiful and substantial piece OF
road. After you have finished, do not err
by thinking that so fine piece o. road
should be able to care for itself for the
next twenty years, but have someone de-
tailed to watch 1t, and IS the natural wear
tends to start ruts or fAtten the crown,
let him apply the drag.

Just q word about culverts and shall
close. II we are going to improve our
roads and at the same time practice
economy we must break away from the
old wooden culvert, and this for several
reasons. First, because of the price OF
lumber, they are too expensive; second,
they are always out OF place, especially
upon land that is very susceptible to the
action of frost; third, the time spent in
repairing, in digging up and new laying in
few years will pay for . good, modern,
everlasting culvert. Therefore, contend
it ia economy, it is good judgement, to
construct concrete eulverts where there il
quite large amount OF water to take care
Of, and use the modsrn steel cylinders for
the smaller ones, but be sure culvert for
. given place is amply large enough to
take on all the water at all times.

ment for the murder of Mime. Rose

This report declared that while WILL

drowning OF Countess Szabo. was befors
the grand jury several days ago as
witness. he had declared that he saw
Gibson stand up in the boat and grasp

that the most persistent cross-examina.
ton by the grand Jurors failed to shake
the story Of the witness, who insisted
that he saw Gibson place one hand
upon Mrs. szabo's throat
It will be recalled that the expert re.
port OF DR.. Otto Schultz declared that
death resulted from a peculiar form of
sunocation due to the pressure Of
something. like the knuckie Of a mans
hand upon the windpipe.

an. It was learned that some new docu-
