exact Most OF his assistants are young
men, and new to the political arena.
Chas. D. Hilles. manager Of Hughes
campaign, is a young man.
Names familiar to the older gen
Grafton and familiar by repute to the
younger. are not heard in the pres
ent age. The names which have taken
their places are the names of new
men, apparently unknown and untried
men. To outward seeming the proverb,
"Old men for counsel, young men
for war" has lost its force, for both
counselors and warriors today are
young men.
This does not by any means signify
that the nation has thrown OFF the re-
straint imposed by mature judgment.
It does not mean that America has
entered period of wild, unseasoned
activity, without the check that age
and experience give.
The present condition means two
things. First, that this is period
when affairs cannot wait upon the
slow and deliberate judgment of men
ripe in experience, perhaps, but slow
in interpreting that experience in the
light OF the pressing problems of the
day. The day of extended counsel,
of weighing and reweighing questions,
OF considering n an easy going fash
ion all sides OF problem, and then
celebrating upon it becomes coming
to a decision, is past. 1t is not a day
OF snap judgment, but of quick inves-
tigation end prompt decision. and the
elder generation was not trained to
this. 1t is work for young men.
But the present condition means
more than this. 1t means that young
men nowadays, are older than they
us I'd to be. 1t is perfectly safe to
say that the average young man of
thirty knows more and has a wider
range of actual experience than did
the average man of forty-five a quar-
ter or half century ago. The young
man, with his quicker mental process
es really possesses the maturity of
judgment now, that came previously
from long years Of living.
I is well from every standpoint that
this is the age OF the young man.

Don't Divert Local Trade.

Brunswick is said to be pretty badly
crowded at present with canvassers

outside concerns, who are engaged in

cal merchants.
These eanvassers carry line of

the citizens of Brunswick believe that
he is acting for his own interests when
he gives them an order.
The stuff they sell is, almost invari-
ably, of inferior quality and higher
price than the articles in the same
line handled by the local merchant

succeed in unloading their goods upon

Now the Name Was Applied to . Po-
 iiticai Possibility.
 A novel written by Disraell. earl of Beaeonsfeld. entitled ''The Young Duke and published in 1881, contain ed . description of horse race in which tbe following sentence occurred:
 "A dark horse which had never been thougif of and which the careless St James had never even observed in the list rushed past the grand stand in sweeping triumph"
 This was only horse race, but 1t gave prominence to the fact that the ldce was won by dark horse which had nol attracted any notice until he came in q winner.
 This may nave been the origin of the pbrase "u dark hOrse." which, as used G American politics. means Q person h ot' prominently considered as candi. da te when a convention meets or dur. ing. fts earlier ballots, but who sudden. ly develops unexpected strength and wins.
 A noiat,le case In point was that of James A. Garfield in the Republican national convention of 1880. On the first ballot for president he did not re. ceive a single vote. but he received ten votes on the second ballet. one vote on the twentieth ballot, fifty votes on the tIirty-Gfth ballot and was nominated by 3D9 on the tinrty-sixth ballot-Phil. adelphia Press.
