terday, the largest in the history OF the
State and the most important. No one
need worry about the future of the Re,
publican party in Maine after witnessing
the enthusiasm and the serious purpose
of that great gathering of representa-
tives of the party at the capital yester-
day"-Bath Daily Times.
But the real business of the conven-
ton was the adoption of a platform.
Quietly, earnestly, harmoniousiy, the
convention did its work. There was no
straddling, no evasion, no temporizing.
Each plank of that splendidly progress
sive document goes straight to the
mark. "-Kennebec Journal.
The people of the State of Maine can
look with pride upon the financial condi-
ton of the State at the present time.
Governor Haines in his speech at the
convention said. 1--WE have a provision
that allows us to have 100000 for tenn
porary loan. In the year 1918 we did not
use it, and in the year 1914 we will not
use it; not one single cent of the temper
airy loan will be used or the loan made.
With the small tax of a mills we have
had in our treasury for the last IL
months practically half million dollars
ready to meet every bill.
President Wilson got his tolls repeal
bill through the House of Representa-
tives by a vote of PAT to ISL. But 81
Democrats stood out against the bill to
the last. To achieve IL, he was obliged
first of all to repudiate a distinct deela-
ration of the Baltimore platform and
to repudiate his own speeches which
he made in support of this plank. AT
Harrisburg in a political speech few
months ago Mr.. Bryan said; If man
after election finds his platform con-
tains some things which he cannot hon.
estly support, what ought he to do?-He
should resign and let the people select a
man to do what they would have him
do"
1t is too bad that the President cannot
comply with Secretary Bryan's views
but perhaps as it appears from Secretary
Bryan's recent review of the tolls ques-
ton and his defence of the President s
policy that the Baltimore platform has
been entirely forgotten and that he was
talking what is commonly termed hot
air" at Harrisburg.
Now that the conventions of the three

The heads Of several Of these institutions have be-

Society of the National Reserve Corps of the United
States organized by students who attended the camps

President Wilson's Endorsement Of the War Depart
ments original plan is as follows:
81 am very much interested in the successful working
out of the idea Of these college camps. believe the
students attending will not only derive great deal Of
physical benefit from the heathfu, openair life, but
also that they will benefit from the discipline, habits OF
regularity and the knowledge OF personal sanitation
which the experience in camp will give them The
camps will also tend TO disseminate sound information
concerning our military history and the present policy
OF the government in military matters, in addition to
giving the young men themselves very considerable
amount Of practical military instruction, which would
be useful to them in their services should ever be
required"
Although these military instruction camps were
originally intended for college men, any young man,
present or past graduate OF a high or preparatory
school, is eligible to attend. The instruction IS OF high
order and will give such training as generally asso-
ciatcd with military Institutes. Applications may be
forwarded at any time Captain x. O. Van Horn, War
Department, Washington, d. c., from whom applica-
ton blanks are obainablc
The camps are located with due regard to easy access
to educational ccntcrs and the grounds topography
adapted to military tactics The object Of the camps
is to give to the young Of the country opportunity
for short in military training in order that they
NAV be better fitted to discharge their duty to their
country should it stand in need Of their service in
war.
THESE army instruction camps are held for five
weeks in the vacation period, so as to enable

10 the morning, leaving the after
moons and evenings, with due regard
TO proper supervision, at the disposal
Of the student for rest, sports, and
recreation. The physical benefits,
therefore, are of great and permanent
value at this student period, when the
pursuit of studies during the rest Of
the year requires a certain time Ot
confinement. There are also the
broadening effects Of being intimate

well known institutions, and the OPP

is the development Of the individuals

Institutional advantage. They foster patriotic spirit
without which a nation soon loses its virilty and falls
into dccay-but Of no less importance the physical
benefits derived by students from the active, heathiu
outdoor life Of a military camp for the summer vaca-
ton and this at less expense than is usually required
when away from home. The railroads will cooperate
by reducing the to and from camps the excur
sion basis and besides the purchase of uniform, cost
ing between five and ten dollars, according to quality
the only other expense attached to attendance is the
payment Of subsistence at the Of three dollars and
fifty cents a week. and deposit of five dollars with the
government to cover any possible loss or damage to
equipment furnished by the War Department. This
deposit is returned upon the termination of camp.
Wholesome meals will be furnished and the seventeen
dollars and half includes payment OF cooks, assist
ant cooks walters and other expenditures. Meals
will be prepared by trained army cooks Cots blankets
tents, a complete infantry equipment, caneen, havcr
sack pack carrier individual kit, and such other
articles OF quartermaser and ordnance property as
may be found necessary will be furnished by the gov
eminent. The government will likewise provide all
transportation needed, the necessary personnel for
instruction, organization and maintenance of the camp,
hospital and medical care and sanitation. Cavalry
and artillery instruction will be given where prac
cable to those students who desire.
TO those who successfully finish the prescribed course
of instruction certificates will be issued by the War
Department, and their names will be kept file by
the military authorities.
The instruction, briefly consists Of real military work
and not play. Only students who come to learn are de-
sired and they expected to give their best and most
honest cndcavor further the success of the instruction
and to gain the best results therefrom.
Students who attended last years camps have been
enthusiastic them, and the greater part have
pressed their intention OF returning, while not a few
CongauatOry letters have been received from parents
dwelling upon the benefits derived by their sons from
the last camp.

most important but the minutic and exact precision
OF coscorder drill will be insisted upon only to insure
discipline Work will be confined as far as practicable
