THE MAYOR AND THE ARcus.

In its issue of yesterday the Argus
sought to rescue the Mayor from the hole
it put him into when it declared that the
liquor for the drummer's punch was pur-
chased with his approval. This is what
it said:
In regard to the charge in the editorial in yes
terday's PRESS that Mayor Ingraham gave his
approval for the purchase at the City Agency of
me liquors used in making the punch for the en-
tertainment of our visitors from Montreal, in
the sense that the Mayor gave the committee
any authority from him, either written or verbal
we are authorized by the Mayor to deny the
charge unqualifedly No man knows better
than the present Mayor of Portland that he has
no authority to give orders to any individual or
company OF individuals. for liquor at the city
agency. He has never done this or thought Of
fact but IN order to divert attention from the
slip-up OF Sheriff Cram, it tries to make point
against our Democratic Mayor.
All that there was in the PRESS edi-
torial about the connection of the Mayor
with the affair was taken from the ac-
count of the seizure published in the
Argus of Saturday morning. Here is the
exact language of the Argus:
This committee knew that punch, we'll
DtCWOu, WOulu DC DIS dIlrdCIlV6 an OH6TlQg TO
the visitors as anything they could devise So
IIiey set TO work to prepare just such punch.
Ihey Went to work man fashion. They made
no hypocrisy about it. They notified the Mayor
OF their purpose and with his approval got the
needed liquors at the city agency
Now this is either true or false. If it
is true then it is true that the Mayor was
notified that the committee was intend
ing to purchase liquor at the agency for
punch and that he gave it his approval.
If the Argus lied about the Mayor then it
should make a square correction. 1t
certainly did not do that yesterday. 1t
simply evaded. Of course nobody sup
poses that the Mayor issued a formal
order addressed to the liquor agent com
handing him to sell the ingredients for
the punch. The question is, was it with
his approval that the liquor was OBJ
tanned at the agency? The Argus of
Saturday said it was and it has not yet
denied it. Its denial that the Mayor
gave the committee ''any authority is a
miserable subterfuge too thin to deceive
anybody. Esteemed contemporary, you
can not haul your mayor out of
the hole by any such tactics as this. The
only way to get him out is to show that
your statement of Saturday was false
that when you said the committee 'snoti-
fed the Mayor of their purpose and ayith
his approval got the needed liquors at
the city agency you stated what was
not true. You, and you alone, have made
the charge against the Mayor Eand if it is
untrue you should squarely withdraw

The Puritan in Holland, England, and
America. An Introduction to American
History. By Douglas Campbell, of the
New York Bar, Member of the American
Historical Association. PIP. lxxv., 1907.

1t is impossible to give in title, or even
in brief notice, any adequate idea of
the broad scope of this work. The au-
thor calls it an Introduction to American
History, but it is much more. 1t is
history, on novel republican lines of the
great Puritan movement, which. begin
ming In the sixteenth century, rejuvenat-
ed England, and shaped the character of
the people and institutions of the United
States. So far as it affected England and
America, the great force of this move
ment was derived from the Netherland
Republic, a republic which secured it's
independence by war of eighty years
duration-the most memorable conflict
in the history of arms, since it also saved
civil and religious liberty of the modern
world. During the progress of this war
the Netherlands were an object-lesson
for the English Puritans At its close
the republic had population about as
large as that of England, and one incom-
parably wealthier, while in general civil
ization, in agriculture, manufactures,
commerce, art, science, jurisprudence,
political economy, education, charitable
work, and in all ideas of civil and relig-
ious liberty, it stood more than a century
in advance of the rest of Europe.
These general statements have been
made before by Motley, Tame, Thorold
Rogers, and others. Mr.. Campbell, for
the first time, fully sustains them by
scholarly and elaborate comparison be-
tween the retarded civilization of mon
archical England and the advanced civil
cation of its republican neighbor; show
ing the hitherto unrecognized causes of
the Netherland progress which is the
wonder of the modern student.
In the chapters devoted to this subject
as throughout the two volumes, high au-
thorities, many of them rare and novel,
are cited for every statement, thus civ
ing to the work its great value in the
eyes of the historical student
Next in order the author traces the de-
velopment of the English Puritans, show
ing their connection with the republicans
in the Netherlands, and how through
that connection the Netherland Repub-
lie taught modern English almost every

Interesting Facts Regarding the Wonder
full Monsters of Frozen Territory.
When a large tract of mountain sur
face is exposed above the snow line,
and when the precipitation exceeds
that which can be removed by melting
or by evaporation, the surplus snow
gradually collects in the valleys and
gorges. and slowly-almost impercepu-
bly-moves down the slope far below
the usual limit. Thus are formed the
well-known rivers of ice" or glaciers.
The bcst-known glaciers are in Switzer-
land. where some four hundred, vary
ing in length from five TO fourteen
miles. are scattered through the Alpine
valleys. Their width varies from half
a mile To one mile, and their greatest
thickness, il is estimated, is somewhere
about one thousand feet. But these,
when compared TO some of our Green
land or Alaska glaciers, become very
insignificant Muir glacier, for in
stance, occupies a tract some thirty or
forty miles wide, from which nine main
streams and seventeen branches unite

mighty wall of solid ice, 5000 feet wide
and 200 feet deep, into Glacier bay. The
great Humboldt far outstrips this, be-

feet in thickness. Nordenskjold, who
penetrated 1913 miles inland, was unable

VALUE OF EVEN TEETH.

Public Speaking Intcrfered with by Irree-
uIar Molars-Dentistry's Progress.
Speaking with distinctness and com
fort depends much upon n full and even
set of teeth. If they are crowded and
irregular, or if there is now and then
one missing, it affects the voice at once
and is very annoying to others who are
obliged to listen to it. Public speakers
often fail to produce the effect they de
sire upon their hearers from this cause
and are not conscious of it themselves.
Nothing contributes more to the beauty
of the features than a perfect, regular,
clean set of teeth, while a neglected,
diseased mouth disgusts every beholder.
Such things are noticed nowadays much
more than formerly and good teeth and
a sweet breath are considered indis-
pensable to every lady and gentleman.
Filling the teeth is the only means of
preserving them when decay com
mences. The science of dentistry iS
now SO far advanced that the skillful
operator can save and restore the teeth
even where they have been badly de-
cayed and abcessed- Some wonderful
cases have been presented in the last
few years of teeth seemingly beyond
the hope of saving, where the science
and skill of modern dentistry has re-
stored them again 20 usefulness, much
to the joy and surprise of the patients.
Fifty years ago the great study of the
dentist was how TO make artificial
teeth; now, according to the Domestic
Monthly, all the resources of science
and art are brought To bear, and the
whole force of dental education at the
present day is centering upon, the one
great work of saving the natural teeth
