Proceedings of the Maine Dental Society
The ninth annual meeting of the Society
was held in Dexter, Tuesday evening, August
18th, 1874. The meeting was appointed fol
3 o'clock p NJ, but owing to the railroad
communications with Dexter, but few of the
members were present at that time. An in
formal meeting was held, however. at the of
fee of DIR. Sawyer, and n clinic performed by
DR.. Babcock Of Bangor, and DIR. Chamber
lain Of Augusta, using in the operation one OF
S. S. Whites new dental engines. The ma
chine is very much the same as the Morrison
engine, and it was thought contained nearly
all its qualifications, besides one or two
marked improvements. DR.. Briggs was pres
ent with new Pneumatic Plugger, and DEM
onstrated its use by filling tooth for DR..
Stoddard of Belfast.
Quite large number of the members hav-
ing arrived on the evening train, the regular
meeting was called to order at o'clock, Dr.
f. j. Roberts, President, in the chair.
The records of the last meeting were read
and approved, after which the Treasurer read
his report, which was referred to the execu-
tive committee for approval.
The following officers were elected for the
ensuing year
President, DR.. w. r. Johnson; Vice Pres
ident Dr. c. 2. Sawyer; Secretary, DR.. A.
II. Chamberlain; Treasurer, DR.. Thomas
Fillebrown; Executive Committee, Drs. Bab-
cock, Merrill, Curtis, Lombard and Boothby
Drs. b. f. Lancaster, c. II. Evans, Sam
uel Tibbets, Jr., and w. G. Fuller were
elected active members of the Society.
On motion OF DR.. Roberts it was voted tina,
the Treasurer be authorized to forward twen-
ty-ive dollars of the funds of the Society to
the committee appointed by the American
Dental Association to raise the sum of one
thousand dollars to present to Dr. S. c. Bar
mum as slight appreciation of his invaluable
gift of the Rubber Dam to the dental profess
ion. 1t is we'll known that DIR. Barnum gen.
erously donated the use of the Rubber Dam
to the profession, now so indispensable in the
operation of filling teeth, and it is universal
ly acknowledged to be one of the most impor.
tant appliances in the hands of the dentist, SC
much so that no operator can afford to dc
without it,
On motion of Dr. Fillebrown a committee
of three was appinted by the chair consisting
of Drs. Bacon, Fillebrown and Babcock, to
select and purchase microscope for the use
of the Society.
On motion of DR.. Fillebrown it was voted
that a sum not to exceed one hundred and
fifty dollars be appropriated from the fund,
of the Society for that purpose.
The Society then adj ourned to meet a
Moosehead Lake the following day.

Woman Suffrage Notes.

The annual meeting OF the american Woman
Suffrage Association is to be held in Detroit on
the 18th and 18th OF October. The Opera
House has been engaged for the purpose.
The Eaton RAPIDS Journal thinks that the
woman suffrage movement is gaining ground
every day in that locality. without special eff
forts on the part of anybody to gain converts.
Eighteen thousand women attached their
signatures to the memorial for woman suffrage
presented TO Mr.. Dsraeli. The list was headed
Martneau, Mary Carpenter, Eady Anne Gore
LaDgton, Miss Frances Power Cobbe, Miss
Thackeray and Miss Anna Swanwick The
Premier, In his reply, expressed himself as
much honored by such an offering.
The losco County Gazette comes out in favor
of Woman Suffrage, and says =" We favor
the enfranchlsement Of women, not because
we think they are down-trodden, oppressed and
in a deplorable condition without the ballot,
not because we think man is disposed to wick
edly use his franchise to degrade or enslave
Woman, not because we imagine woman's hap
or making and administering law, but because
we believe her influence and voice would at the
ballot-box, as everywhere else be on the side
OF right and justice"
The Grand Haven Herald says =" Both OF
our Michigan Senator's, we are glad to say, are
In favor of Woman Suffrage, also every men,
Der OF the Supreme Court and nearly every
! jurist in the State.
When We seriously attempt to show that a
woman who pays taxes ought not to have a
voice in the manner in which the taxes are ex-
pended, that woman whose property and lib
erty and person are controlled by the laws,
should have no voice in framing those laws, il
is not easy. II women are fit to rule in mon
arches, it is difficult to say why they are not
qualified to vote in republic. H. b.

needs to-day Is fuller recognition OF the fact,
that all men are not qualified to take part in
the administration of tbs affairs of government,
and that it requires training for that work az
well as any other pursuit. which Is worthy TO
be followed. The fact that small men, men
who have had no training, but have entered
politics as an easy way to make livelihood,
have been able 10 get into power, has done
more than anything else to keep good men out
OF politics. The best mon can not compete
with men whose sole study ID the management
OF the caucus and primary until the people
recognize that tho work Of politician can not
be well done except by trained men. 1t must
be borne in mind that, however noble pro-
fession is of itself, it may be intellectually low
cred in tone by the men who make their way
into it, and if the people Of this country con-
tInue to fail to see the necessity OF calling men
Of ability and education to the offices within
their gift, the profession OF politics will cease
to be one having for its end the good govern
ment of the country, and will sink entirely to
the level of the mon who now, IN many pa rts
of the country, control parties. This can not
be impressed upon the people too strongly, or
repeated to often. The work that lies before
the men whom they will be called upon to elect
to Office during the coming decade, is one re-
curing the highest order Of ability and the
highest training. In view Of this such men
should be called INTO the profession Of politics,
as will reflect credit upon the country, and do
the work OF government as it should be done.
When this comes to pass, the title of profess
sional politician will be one sought after instead
OF Stunned.

.4drertfsfng In Cheap Newspapers
From the New York Graphic,


From the New York Graphic.
Something of panic has been created
in newspaper offices by the hint given by
one of the morning papers that it may
shortly reduce its price from four to two
cents. But it is probable that were this
step to be taken the effect would be very
different from what the Heraid- the
paper in question-supposes i, would be.
The American public, with its lavish
habits in the use of money, cares very
little for the price asked for a paper
which it really wants to buy. Those per-
sons who now prefer the Times, Trib-
une, or World to the HeraLd would con-
tinue to do SO were the price of the lat.
ter reduced. The only class among which
cheap paper would increase its circu.
lation would be the day laborers, the
servant girls and other worthy people,
whose patronage adds but little to the
success of newspapers. Advertisers are
shy of cheap papers, arguing that people
who cannot afford to take four or FIVE
cent paper cannot afford to buy the
goods which they have for sale. The
great difficulty which tie Sun finds in
obtaining advertisements, when contrast.
ed with the large advertising patronage
of high priced papers with small circu.
lation-such as the EUoning Post and
the Journal Of Commerce-is an evil
dence of this fact The advertisements
which crowd the columns of The Daily
Graphic testify to the belief on the part
of advertisers that iirstclass paper,
which circulates among prosperous peo-
pie, is the best advertising medium.
Should the Herald become two cent
paper it would find that the first result
of the change would be q very large
falling off in its advertising patronage.
And no increase of circulation among
the poorer classes would make up for
this substantial loss.
