An illustration of the tremendous
summer business done by the State of
Maine is given in the railroad traffic
West-bound at the present time
through Portland where an average of
35 sleepers a night for New York is
being sent out 1t is expected that
by Monday night 40 will be necessary
to take care of the homeward bound
people. Travel is so heavy that it has
been necessary to run special train
made up Of dead" Pullman sleepers
every night from New York to come
back again the next night. Tuesday
10 were hauled in and the same num-
Der came yesterday morning. In adj
d!tion to this special train number
of dead cars are attached to all of
the regular trains. the American EX-
press train yesterday morning bring
ing more sleepers. The Traffic to Bos
ton is growing somewhat heavier than
it has been. An additional train has
been run each day for the 1905 and
beginning Saturday extras will be adj
ded for the other trains of the day
when occasion requires it. At the
same time the railroad and steamboat
men all insist that there is to be a
big travel for the cunning season as
they say they are having no end of
inquiries for future reservations to
the east running as far along as the
middle and last of October.

IMPROVED RELATIONS.

1t is generally recognized that our
business and social relations with Lat
in-America can be much improved and
ought to be, but progress in this d.
rection has been slow.
A Washington woman has tackled
this problem and proposes to be the
agent to promote better relations. Her
method is to induce the parents Of
children who are sending them to Eu-
rope to get an education to send them
to the United States and her idea is
generally commended as wise and
brimming with the spirit of success
These little South American republics
need know US better-need TO have
wiped out the impression that we are
more greedy for gain than honest in
our transactions.

Gated here would be permanent

they are sadly needed today.

YOU
THE CONDITION OF COL oRADo
MINERS

There is seldom presented to the
people q more disturbing picture Of
the ability of money to defeat al the
principles OF a free government, and
to give justice knock down blow,
than the following abstract from a
letter to Joha D. Rockefeller, Jr., from
the miners in Colorado:
'"The miners in Colorado live in
towns owned outright and managed
automatically. They live in company
houses, they worship in company
churches, they trade In company stores
with company money. They have no
redress for any grievances through
political methods, because the mayor
of the town is q company clerk, the
justice of the peace a company boss,
the sheriff q company superintendent
For thirty years you and your asso-
ciates have banished American insti-
tutions from the coal countries of Col
orado and have reduced the mining
population to utter slavery. You kill
twelve times as many men In aeci-
dents as are killed in similar mines
in Austria; your control of Justice
is such that in most cases there has
not been even coroner's inquest
there has not Been cent of damages
paid in some districts for ten years. q
It is plainly to be seen that these
conditions favor tyranny In its worst
form and make complete farce OF
government and law.
The towns owned outright and
managed altocraticaliy's on American
SOIL are a disgrace to the state in
which they exist and to the govern
ment that tolerates them.

EQUALITY OF WEALTH,

There are people who cling to the
idea that equality of wealth would
produce a better condition than we
have today and be better for the peo-
pie.
If the wealth of the United States
was equally divided we should all have
1896 apiece, and the average family
would have $4,000 they could call
theirs and live upon while It lasted.
Such an Arcadian condition could
not last long for At would stagnate
business and invite idleness and ex-
cessiFe pleasure seeking.
It is not money alone which makes
things lively, but the exertion of ev-
erybody TO make money. The only
distribution OF wealth that 10 bless
ing is that given In exchange for some
thing wanted.
If everybody was worth SIC, 900, who
would be willing to do the hard work
required today to supply the needs and
meet the requirements and tastes OF
the people? Activity, not money
makes life worth living.

mentary coming on top OF the Nam
