Cottoon-Seed Oil and Meal as Food.

While l am not going to take issue with scientists on the chemical constit- uentS of these substances, I must diff fer with them in regard to their value as food. Lard and butter are largely mixed with this oil This oil is not ready digested and assimilated by tho digestive organs, but acts as an irri- tant to the bowels and produces fux ln man and beast. It will sustain life
 In itself and prevent starvation were a person so situated that they could get nothing else to eat. for we know that the lowest forms of animal and vegeta- ble substances are capable of sustaining human and animal life, but the time has not yet arrived in this extensive and prosperous country when human beings are competed to select the in- feriOr substance of nature for the su- perior. Very small quantities of cot ton-seed meal given to horses or cat tie will give them active diarrh Ra, or what farmers call "scours," unless mixed with four times it's measure of meal or bran. Just here 1 would re- mark that the bran seems to have the same tendency to make the hair of the animals sleek that the oil has to make the skin of the ebony race, producing what We might call physiological phenomenon. Its tendency seerns to build up the oil glands of 10 -Ir bone and muscle. Old farmers know and have often remarked this; they have also noticed it's want of strengthening properties. As food for human beings, it's unpleasant odor, if nothing else, would banish it from the kitchen. All cooks both ignorant and artistic, say they can smell it when put in bread, as soon as the stove door is opened, no matter how much lard may be mixed with 1t. As an economic measure have some doubts, as tho oil is relatively higher than lard. I am satisfied no board of health would recommend it as q suitable food for shuman beings. h comparison with olive oil. which has so often been done by its advocates. as q parallel, there is nothing to he gained
 The inhabitants of Southern France Use the olive oil in large quantities with their black bread, but they use it pretty much as We do molasses or sirup, they also eat largely of beef. They are represented as q hale, hearty and industrious class of laborers. There is no comparison between the two oils Us to their savory qualities. We would be glad to get it unadulter- ated with cotton-seed oil. Perhaps when it is admitted free, We will be able to enjoy it as of yore on our salids and give it to our babies as a gentle purgative.

WILLIS II. WING, Secretary.

One of the delegates -at-large to the conyen-
ton at Chicago will be Hon. X. w. Thomp-
son, ex-Secretary of the Navy. In 1910, in
the great Tippecanoe campaign, he was on
the stump for William Henry Harrison; and
now he goes to Chicago as delegate to cast
his vote for Indiana's fayorite, General Ben
jamin Harrison, grandson of old Tippeca-
noe. General Benjamin Harrison, by the
way, has quite an array of ancestors. His
father was Wing Congressman, his grand
father the ninth President of the United
States. and his great-grandfather, also
named Benjamin Harrison, one of the sign
ers of the Declaration Of Independence and
politician of note. The family has -four
ished as it has moved steadily westward
flom Virginia to Ohio and thence to Indi-
ana; but from present appearances it is not
likely to furnish another President so soon
as next year.

Rev. j. w. Day, of the East Maine Confer
ence, atpresent a delegate to the great Gen
eral Conference of the Methodist church has
told the lions Herald. Mr.. Day says tina
his father, the Rev. Rufus Day, now living
in honorable retirement in Houlton, received
during all the years from 1912 to 1872 an av-
erage yearly salary Of 1921, out Of which he
paid for rent, fuel and travelling expenses as
well as the other expenses of his family. He
brought up four children to adult life and al
ways met and discharged his financial obli-
cations promptly" is the testimony of his
son. That Maine minister should have
been rewarded by so small salary is shame
full but that he made 'both ends meet
with it is an evidence of heroism in his home
And we look to see the name of the Rev. j.
W. Day among those who voted yesterday to
give the women a place in the Conference,
irrespective of any arguments as to whether
they are needed or wanted.

The inventors of stories about Mr.. Blaine
are having their ingenuity sadly taxed these
days. Disproof Of their yarns comes so
quickly and overwhelmingly, that they are
beginning to find it impossible to make a
story last more than twenty-four hours.
This necessitates the manufacture of a new
story every day. Under the strain thus put
upon them their stories are naturally becom-
ing weaker and less entertaining. Contrast
the able bodied lie attributed to DR.. Win
throp Hayward that Mr.. Blaine was physi-
cal wreck from diabetes with the puny and
sickly production of the Philadelphia Times
that Mr.. Blaine had given assurance to some
unnamed friends that his Florence letter was
not to count for anything. Evidently it will
be necessary to introduce some. new blood
into the Ananias corps or before the Chica-
go convention meets the favorite material
for fighting Blaine win be exhausted.

in moment of-well recklessness per
hans IL NAV as well be called-we allowed 1t
IN appear that not only did the PRESS
views on the governorship question not
coincide with those of the Wing, but also that
the Wings present opinions did not coincide
with opinions held by the Wing short time
ago. When for instance the Wing urged in
behalf of Mr.. Burleigh that he had resi-
denee in Bangor and that the nomination be-
longed to the East and therefore that he
should be nominated the PRESS pointed out
that two years ago when this argument might
have been made with much greater force,
inasmuch as then one of the candidates not
only owned house in Bangor, but lived
there, the Wing had shown very little dispo-
sition to urge it. Again, when it said that
'Gov. Marbles one term would naturally be
the limit of political ambition of one at his
time Of life" (the italics are ours) the PRESS
pointed out that the Wing had not proposed
to thus limit the political ambition of Gov.
Bodwell, had the latter lived, though his age
was but year under Gov. Marbles; that u
had not sought to limit thus the political
ambition" Of ex-senator Hamlin. but on the
contrary had urged his election to the Senate
at an age which made it certain that before
his term expired he must reach that thine OF
life" which would naturally be the limit OF
Gov. Marbles political ambition; and fur
tbermore that it had sought to make the late
Judge Edward Kent the Republican ca1di-
date for Governor when he was II years OF
age and after record of two terms in the
Governors chair--in short, that it had re-
peatedly ignored and repudiated a limit which
it was proposing to apply to Gov Marble
1t is becauss of this "impertinence' that the
Wings rebuke is made particularly long and
singing. But the Wings readers will not
fail to observe that rebuking the PRESS does
not explain the Wings manifest inconsistent
cies; any more than does protesting that a
long time ago it was very fond of Mr.. Mar
ble excuse or explain its own impertinence
in attempting to rule out candidate from
the gubernatorial contest on the ground that
a record of one term at his time of life is
the natural limit of his political ambition.

The Bangor Wing has been led to a col

guage) 'the persistent impertinence Of THE
PRESS for which there is no excuse" The
Wing is so often led to remarks by the per
sistent impertnence" of its contemporaries,
that its readers must fully understand by
this time that an important part of its mis-
sion is to rebuke impertinence. 1t is
part too which we are bound to say
it fulfls with great satisfaction to itself and
with great amusement to its contemporaries.
As rule the impertinence which the Wing
rebukes is the holding of views not exactly
in accord with its own. That was part of
the PRESSES sin. But it was not the whole
of it. Indeed we suspect that it was not the
greater part of it. Sooner or later undoubt-
edly we should have been rebuked for the
impertinence of preferring as candidate for
Governor a different gentleman from the one
the Wing had picked out, but it is not prob
able that the rebuke would have been as Sc

fined to this. But unfortunately for us

[Boston Journal
Philadelphia or Boston would have been a
better assembling place for the Republican
Anti-Saloon conference than New York, but
the gathering was nevertheless all that had
been expected of it. Among the delegates
were many eminent men. and the addresses
were earnest and harmonious. A noticeable
feature of the conference was its enthusiast
tic Republicanism. The resolutions de-
nounclng the saloon and urging the kepubll-
can National Convention to declare against
it in its platform, were vigorous and explicit.
This request deserves respectful attention.

We are surprised to observe an unusual
omission on the part of our esteemed con-
temporary, the Kennebec Journal. Hereto
fore it has recorded with noticeable eager
ness the doings and proceedings of those
caucuses that have been held to choose CUB
ernatorial delegates, especially if there has
been any reason to suppose that any of these
delegates were for Mr. Burleigh. Indeed,
such has been our esteemed contemporary
eagerness in this respect that several dele
gates have been counted in for Mr.. Burleigh,
when they were not for him at all. 1t was.
therefore, with great surprise that we OBJ
served in yesterdays Kennebec Journal no
notice whatever Of one of the most impor-
tant caucuses yet held in Maine, the caucus
at Ellsworth. 1t could hardly be that Els
worth and the doings of its citizens were re-
garded as of minor consequence, since it is
hourishing city, busting with business and
adorned by the homes of many prominent
Republicans, among whom may be mention
ed Senator Hale. Nor can il be that by I'M
fortunate accident to the wire our contempt
rary was deprived of the int sting piece of
news from Ellsworth, because the Associated
Press delivered it to all the Maine and Mas
sachusetts papers ON Saturday night, in am
pie time for yesterday mornings papers.
We are constrained, therefore, to believe
that some Office cat. Of unusual size and
prowess, got away with this piece of news
from Ellsworth before the editors saw it.
Unwilling that our contemporary should re-
main longer in ignorance of so interesting an
event, we are glad to convey the informa-
ton anew that the Republicans of Ellsworth
elected ten men to come to Portland and
vote for Mr.. Cleayes next June, and that
they instructed them by the following reso-
luton:
RESOLVED, That the Republican voters Of ELS
worth, in caucus assembled, do endorse the ex-
cellent military record of Henry B. Cleayes, who
in the Rebellion enlisted private soldier and
rendered faithful service to the Union cause from
1862 to 1866, receiving at the close of the war
from his commanding officer the well deserved
compliment, "a brave and fearless soldier" And
we further endorse his valuable services to the
State in the many positions of public trust which
he has so efficiently filed especially in his admin
istration as Attorney General during which he
faithfully discharged all duties required of him by
law, including the prosecution of the celebrated
railroad and tax cases which he conducted to a
successful tel mnaton, thereby saving the State
nearly seventy thousand dollars and fully settling
the intricate legal questions involved for his sue
cessors in office. We do there ore declare him to
be our choice as candidate for Governor, and
pledge our best efforts for his nomination and
election
We are glad to be able to furnish this news
to the Kennebec Journal, and shall conf
IDENTIFY expect that in due time it will extend
the same favor to its readers.
