MAINE POINTS THE WAY.

MAINE POlNlS IdH Wal.
Maine republicans have pointed the
way to victory In the coming election
BY healing all their divisions. meet
Ing in a harmony convention. sub
'ordinating personal ambitions to
party success and electing an unin-
structed delegation to the Chicago
convention. The convention was rep
.resentative Of all elements which are
opposed to the democratic party. it
brought to the front young men
whose first votes decide elections and
placed liberal. progressive men in the
lead. The result was enthusiasm
which Is drawing many recruits to
the ranks and is healing all former
divisions.
The earnestness with which Maine
republicans place the triumph Of their
principles above any personality was
shown by their action in regard to
the presidency. They agree in pre-
ferring Justice Hughes as the party
nominee, but they elected uninstruct-
ed delegates to the national conven-
tion, although they chose men who
can be trusted to act as their con-
stituents desire. By its action the
Maine convention lives up to the ira
dition which has made that state the
barometer Of political change through
out the country and which has caused
It to give the nation many of its most
illustrious statesmen. It has given
the cue to the other New England
states by leaving its delegates free
to act in accordance with the best
judgment Of the entire body Of dele
gates at Chicago.
When Maine republicans get to-
gether the skies look dark for democ-
racy. From a national convention
which is guided by the spirit that
guides Maine, a winning ticket and
a winning platform are sure to eman-

He had not seen Galveston during

Just visited there, and the charm of
the newly-built city had cast its spell
upon him, so that he thought only OF
roses and oleanders. To the Calves

spiritual quality, for it came only af-
ter toll and suffering and sacrifice.
You may walk through newly made
streets and look up at delicate facades
and lovely doorways, but there will be
architects ready to claim, and surely
deserving the praise you would be-
stow upon them; yet the sweep of eX-
quisitely kept driveways, the stately
palms and oleanders, it is to the devo-

these things, and they are the things
