Lieut.. Totten's latest theory is that we
are to have an epidemic Of mysterious dis
appearances. AS he puts it: ''The time
will come when you will hear of some per-
son who is gone and no trace can be found
OF him. You will not know what has be-
come of him. You will wonder, and the
first that you know some other person will
be missing. You will see crowds of peo-
pie focking about the churches and asking
themselves what is happening, but they
cannot explain the mystery 1t would
be good idea for Totten to put his
theory into practice. He is getting to be
about as big a nuisance as was Vennor,
the Canadian weather prophet. The dis
appearance of such prophets would be no
loss.

Our Duty Next Monday.

Next Monday is our State election and
we must endure for the next two years the
results of our choosing, whether for veal or
for Woe
For a soldier to he found off duty in time
Of war is punishable by death; for the voter
to be found off duty next Monday in Waldo
county is a crime of like sort. but its punish
ment is only in the conscience of the cul-
prlt. Let no good man be absent Monday.
The duty to be there is imperative as never
before.
1t is suggested that voters will be bribed
to remain away from the polls, as it is now
so difficult to control the ballot at the polls.
Such voter isIregardless of moral obligation
and no amount of consideration of this sort
can move him. He is dead to right and
truth.
The ballot is trust and the voter has
no right to vote for a friend simply because
he is friend. The ballot was not given
him to reward his friends, but to exercise
for the pu bile good. Others suffer if his
friend is not a good o tficer. 1t is for them
as much as for himself that he votes, and he
is false to them, and disregardful of his
trust if he places friendship ahead of public
duty.
Neither is it sufficient excuse for voting
against one the voter dislikes, simply be-
cause he dislikes him. If, as between a
friend of the voter and one whom he dislikes.
the latter will best serve the public, the vot-
er is violating his high trust who sets his
private feelings before his public duty.
For the reason that it is a trust the voter
has no right to "swap off, that is, to vote
for some candidates on condition that others
vote for friend Of the voter. 1t is quite as
immoral as buying votes outright and the
voter who does it is on the same moral plane

A. G. Says He Would Regret to See Anson
Leave Chicago.
When asked in New York concerning the
rumor that Anson was to leave the Chicago
club and take charge of the New Yorks, A.
G. Spalding said:
"The first heard of the matter was what

was very much surprised. So far as actual
negotiations for Anson's transfer from Chi.
cago to New York are concerned do not
think they have been opened. At least
have heard of none, and 1 am sure that if
Anson contemplated such a step he would
first notify those interested in the Chicago
club"
"But if the old man desired to cast his for

any serious objection be raised by the Chi

toned. Anson leaving Chicago would seem
to me like pulling the team up by the roots.
1t would thereafter be Hamlet without the

hearty and enthusiastic welcome, as they
were always well liked for their quiet and

as for the superior article of baseball they
always put up. The old-time favorites, the
Colgan brothers, Rowe, Youngman and Vet
tiers, the crack left fielder of last years jean
nctte Grays, as well as several other old-time
County League stars, will be found with
them. Al Crum, who pitched for the Allie
ghenies in 1889, will be the pitcher, and he
will make the heavy hitters of the Gyms
hustle. The Gyms will present Boyle, OF
quick and active little player, and will fill
up the big hole at short caused by Cargo's
desertion to the State League. The game
will be called at o'clock.
