ity second primary was held, and was
no doubt equally costly. What it costs
the State is not of SO much Importance
as W hat it costs the individual, and the
best qualified men for pubic office are
not always those who have the most
money. Just now we have in Maine
four candidates for the Republican NOM
ination for governor in the June primary.
In order to win they must each carry on
an active campaign, and then the sue
cessful candidate must carry on a second
campaign in behalf of his election. So
far from giving the people more voice in
the selection of candidates for public Of
flee it lessons their influence. 1t favors
the large cities and operates against the
rural communities. 1t favors the rich
as against the poor man. The caucus
and the convention were representative
bodies, while as a rule only small
minority votes in the primaries.

To one who has lived through the evo-
luton of the Navy from the old-time
sailing ships to the steam-drven war
machines of today it is interesting to
note the changes in the qualifications and
duties of the officers and men. The
officers now have to be something more
than skiilful navlgators The men who
enlisted were taught to reef, hand and
steer and to row the ships boats, and
their training did not specially qualify
them for the merchant service. The
boys who had served an apprenticeship
in the coastwise trade, or on our ships
that then sailed the seven seas were
more likely to reach the quarterback
than those who came from the navy.
Today our naval officers must be scien-
lists as we'll as navigators, and the great
er their knowledge in the various lines
IN which they must qualify the greater
their usefulness. Boys who enlist in
the navy today are taught many useful
trades in which they may find employ
m ent if they leave the service, and their
pay is larger and opportunities greater
than in the old days.

CAN Walk 3 MILES
Annoying Troubles Of Heart, Stomach
and Digestion All Removed.

To look at Mr.. David 7. Remington,
Of Springfield, Mass, one would say,
he is as sound as a nut"
And so he is, thanks to the new
combination of purifying and build
ing-up treatment embodied in Hoods
Sarsaparilla and Peptiron Pills.
These two remedies working to-
sether are accomplishing wonders.
Mr.. Remington is well known, hav-
ing been q years in the State House
in Boston as Senate Doorkeeper and
Sergeant-at-Arm
He had annoying symptoms about
his heart, stomach and digestive or
cans. His old friend, Senator George
E. Putnam, Of Lowell, urged him to
take a course Of Hoods Sarsaparilla
and Peptiron Pills, which he did, and
says,-"I never felt better. / can
walk from my house down town and
back, mile and half each way"
These medicines are sold by drug
oists. Why not begin this sensible
treatment yourself today?

The New York Evening Post, pro-
nounced Wilson paper, which defends
nearly every act of his, whether practi-
cal and for the good of the country or
not, condemns the adm inistration Ship
ping bill as sailing under false colors.
1t says it can no longer be called an
emergency measure, and that it is
seeking to relate itself to the war stu
alton, ''although its sponsors are well
aware of the high probability that peace
will have come before a single ship can
be built under its terms. Indeed, the
more narrowly the measure is scrutiniz-
ed, the more apparent does it become
that the building or buying and operat
ing of ships by the Government has now
fallen to a secondary place in the whole
plan. The main thing now sought is the
creation of a shipping board. with pow
ers over transport by water analogous to
those of the Inters tate Commerce Com
mission over transport by rail"

The fruit steamer Porto Rico plying
between Nicaraguan ports and New Or
leans has abandoned her American regis
try in consequence of the unreasonable
exactions of the Seamen's Bill which
made her operation improbable under
our flag. Having curtailed the facilities
for transportation and travel, and driven
many of the railroads into the hands of
receivers, the Administration is now do
ing its utmost to cripple the merchant
marine. 1t nullifed the Democratic
platform, which promised the freedom
of the Panama Canal to American ship
ping, and has put the Pacific Mail
Steamship Co. out of business ana turn

The Democratic steering committee in
the Senate has at last come to the con-
clusion which nearly every one else has
long held, namely, that Congress will be
lucky if it can adjourn by September.
In addition to the appropriation bills
and the other necessary Legislation which
the country must have, and which it
wants, there is considerable program
of impracticable measures which the
President insists must be passed. There
will be stiff resistance to all Of these
bills, and if Congress can get home in
time to vote, it will be fortunate.

quently referred to as electioneering
speeches-1t would be as we'll for all con-
cerned if he spoke less often, and then in
terms that everybody can understand.
AS it is his utterances are variously in
terpreted. His speech last Saturday be-
fore the league to Enforce Peace is
characterized by the Liverpool England
Post as elusive in some of it's phrases
and it says further: ''One can imagine
many being especially disappointed when
he says that with the causes and objects
of the war the United States has no con-
Germ. To US, who believe we are oppos-
ing an attempt at world domination it is
hard to believe that the cause for which
we stand is not of some concern to the
great republic of the west" The Post
argues that the Entente Allies are fight

The Westminster London) Gazette
says that if one is to understand what
President Wilson is driving at, his speech
must be considered from two points of
view-the immediate point of view of
the war and the more remote one of re-
construction after the war. 1t con-
tlnues: "This proviso, necessary for
the Presidents neutrality fin mind and
thought is an ice-cold abstraction for a
belligerent who believes he is fighting in
the fair cause of law and right. We do
not understand how neutral can ex-
pect to influence these events if he be-
gins by declaring himself not to be con-
cerned with their causes and objects.
We do not see how he is to control this

We received last week from Clifford
Pinchot an article on Preparedness, not
to be published before May 9th, and
reed only say that Mr.. Pinchot is for
Preparedness-for defence only-and
gives many good reasons therefor. There
are few people who want to fight per-
sonally, or who want war; but there are
times when nations have to fight, and so
it is necessary that country should not
be defence]ess.
