A Clean Campaign,

Men Of all parties were commenting,
Tuesday. upon the campaign just
ended. Now that the cmoke of bat
tie has blown away, IL doesn't seem to
have been so bad after ALL Indeed
most voters are declaring 1t to have
been pretty clean and generous"
campaign. Less exchange of per-
sonalities has been in evidence than is
usual In hot political campaigns, in
this and other states. But there has
never been any question as to the
warmth Of the engagement.
Today men of all parties are meet
ing with extended hands and the af-
terrthe-battle smile of forgiveness and
content. The biggest and ablest men
in the Progressive party today have
seen the light and are frankly say
Ing; This cannot so on: let's bury
the Ratchet"
And right here II might not be out
OF place to express our appreciation of
few of the earnest. loyal Republican
workers who have determinedly main
tanned the high plane of the conduct
of the campaign and who have made
possible SO good a showing of the
forces that stand for bedrock Repub-
ltcan principles of government, with
GU tan iota of bessim. As prince
OF good fellows, a clear-headed, far
seeing analyzer of political conditions
and results, we doff our hats to Hon.
Frederic Fl. Parkhurst, chairman of
the Republican State committee. Ev-
cry hour he has been at the service
of the Republicans of Maine-a wiz
ard at organization. a tireless adviser
logical and forceful speaker win
ner of friends. a friend of honest
men. believer in justice and honor
and toleranee-that is "Colonei'
Parkhurst. II is SUFFICIENT to say that
We believe every word of that, in
spite Of Col. Parkhursts magnificent
fight in several campaigns, no eppo-
neHt has yet been able to find a point
of attack against his public or private
life,
1t has been Col. Parkhurst's SEEM
ingly impossible job to lift the Re-
publican party up out of the chaos
and disbursement of two years ago,
to the biggest and Invest force for
good government and conservation of
the homes of Maine that the State has
ever known.
Col. Parkhurst has had able lieu
tenants, everyone of whom is loyal to
him, and among those who have come
most In contact with the Kennebec
journal are Frank j. Ham, warden of
the Maine State prison and chairman
of the Republican county committee
of Kennebec county, and Blaine s.
Viles, chairman of the Republican
city committee of Augusta. The
splendid showing in Augusta and
Kennebec county is largely due to the
untiring efforts and good judgment
of these gentlemen. The Republican
organization in Augusta and the coun-
try at the present time, bespeak Re-
publican victories to come. It be-
comes a Republican duty to work 10y
aliy with these men for the better
ment of political conditions.

Permanent Muscular Strength.

There is this to be borne in mind In
these days when SO many young men
are giving so much attention TO physi-
cal development, in gymnastic and
athletic exercises, that there cannot be
permanent muscular strength where
there is not blood strength.

strength. promotes digestion and as

Some people think that 1t doesn't
pay to raise sheep but Charles T.
Gay of Pennington has proved that
this Is not true. He wintered L.
sheep and the cost was trihing. This
spring he sold 100 Id. clip at 25e, per
ib., S4i.75; nine lambs for $47,02 and
has seven ewes at home valued at
S36.67, a total of $l25.34. Mr.. Gay
THINKS that at the prices now ruling it
Is more profitable to raise sheep than
cows.
A recent visit to Grand Falls was
OF much interest to the editor OF the
Fort Fairfield Review. The new
bridge across the river Is immediate
~ below the old suspension bridge,
and is a strong and fine appearing
truss bridge. The main gorge 10
spanned by a single truss. The
floor is some seven feet higher than
that of the old bridge, which is still
standing but which will probably be
removed In the not distant future.

 Hard to Prevent oGing Back

HAVANA, Ill.,, Feb. 27-Conv'cted of embezzlement of Peoria city school funds aggregating nearly million dollars, sentenced to Joliet peniten- tiary, paroled and induced to give up priv. eproperty in partial restitution for his stealings, Newton c. Dough erty. formerly president of the Ma tional Educators Association, regard ed as a foremost educator in Amer ica, went on trial here today on the charge of forgery growing out of his attempts to recover lands he deed ed to the Peoria Board Of Education.
 The case came up here on change of venue from the Peoria circuit court and is being tried before Judge Guy Williams, the youngest circuit judge in the state.
 The record of Dougherty's petty stealings covering period of twenty years rivals the tale of Rallies. Dougherty had been president of the State Normal University at Normal, state superintendent of public instruc- ton, and superintendent of the Peo- ria public schools, holding in the

LEASING NO GOOD
 SAYS DICK RYAN
Appeared Before House Committee Opposing the Administration
 Plans.

WASHINGTON, Feb 27.-Dick Ky an, the promoter interested in the Controller bay section of Alaska, ap- peared before the House Committee on Territories and opposed the leas ing bill now being considered by the committee in reference to the hand ling of the coal lands of Alaska.
 Ryan claimed that the clause in the bill providing that the bill did not interfere with the valid existing claims of the original locators left the mat ter of development up in the air" because lessees would be buying law suits and would be compelled to 20 into the courts and establish the il legality of the locations before they could take possession and commerce to open the mines.
 Ryan claimed that a better VIZ! could be found to prevent monopoly besides the restrictive leasing system and urged the committee to propose any other method.

 Penalty for Murder.

NEW YORK, Feb. Performer Pc lice Lieutenant Becker, who was granted a new trial by the court of appeals, was brought today from the death row at Sing Sing and lodged again in the same cell at The Tombs, in which he was confined prior to bis convict on.
 District Attorney Whitman is de ,ermined that Becker shall pay the penalty for his crime and has an nounced his determination to retry him early in the spring. It is said by friends of Whitman that the dis trict attorney has been securing new evidence all the time the case was on appeal and that he has now enough direct testimony to convict the former police official.
 It is also expected that the four convicted gunmen who were convicted at the same time as Becker, and whose conviction was affirmed by the high court, will give Whitman every assistance, as they are themselves doomed and will not care to see the man who urged them to commit the crime and promised them protection go free.
