all Conventions are portion OF our election

out the whole state must be placed in nonina-
ton by Convention representing no less
constituency than the whole state. Hence, all

Darlington Booth and wife, after
troubles on the public with the excuse
that they have been misrepresented by
the publication of ridiculous stories
about them and parts of their letters to
their father, Gen. Booth, make quite
long statement of their side of the con
troversy. 1t must be admitted that it
leaves Gen. Booth in a somewhat I'M
pleasant light when viewed from an
American standpoint. They say:
We loved and understood this
country. He exhibited prejudice and
misconception of it, and it's people. He
objected to the display of the national
flag upon our badges and in our halls
and homes. He said the time had ar
rived to cease carrying the stars and
stripes at the head of our parades. He
objected to the use of the eagles upon
our crests, and constantly spoke de-
precatingly of the country, it's people
and its institutions. Our constant de-
Tense and explanation in answer to his
tSNlhs No oliy IuCIcuSeu LIE ulIIlcultE,
With our affection for and knowledge
of America. this placed us in a most
unfortunate position. He, in conse-
quence. showed but little interest and
sympathy with us personally"
They also objected to the Tory idea
of taxation without representation.
They say they had no share in formu-
lating the rules and regulations under
which they were expected to act, and
great schemes involving large sums of
money, were inaugurated without their
knowledge, although they would be ex-
pected to bear much of the burden in
cldent thereto. Probably Gen. Booth

the Old Town contested election case,
Judge Emery expressed the opinion
that the effect of the law for the pres
ervation of ballots was to make the
courts virtually returning board that
might be appealed to to recount the
votes in any contested election case If
that is the effect of that statuteit ought
to be promptly repealed. The ultimate
result OF calling the court in to count
the vote in disputed election cases will
be to discredit it with large part of
the people. The true policy is to Keep
the courts as far away from political
disputes as possible. AS regards pro-
visions for recounts the best policy
would be to abolish them ALL A second
count is not likely to be superior in ac-
curacy or honesty to the first, or to
command more public confidence. Let
the ballots be counted once in the pres
cnce of representatives of all parties
and then destroyed. So long as they

On the face of that announcement by
the Sublime Porte, that only such mis-
sionaries. as disturb the tranquility of
Turkey, will be expelled, is plausibilty.
but the moment one recalls the history
Of Turkey. or even the history of the
Armenian massacres the plausibility
becomes so transparent as to become
invisible This same Sultan, who de-
clares that he has no intention of eN-
polling those missionaries who attend
peacefully to their own business only
a few months ago declared that the
missionaries were responsible for the
Armenian outrages. At that very mo-
ment there is little doubt that he was
secretly connivirg to have that people
cXterminated or so weakened and ter
rorized by slaughter and starvation as
to afford no obstacle in the future to
whatever fanatical purpose he might
wish to carry out in that part of his do
main. OF course no people can reason
ably ask of any government. that it
shall narbor those who plot its destruc-
ton. but when it is known by everyone
that this same government is hostile to
every missionary, knows no law save
the whim of a despot. who is likewise a
fiend. and fear of other powers. that it
has declared that missionaries are re-
spOnsible for the massacres which.
there is little doubt, it instigated itself.
when all these terrible conditions are
considered the statement made by the
Turkish government to the American
government respecting its attitude
toward missionaries is not worth the
paper upon which it is written.

North Arson Advocate: fifty five
years ago David Bronson. distin-
guished lawyer, lived in a house on the
south lot adjoining the universalist
church in this village In 1871 he was
a representative to Congress and in the
years of 1886 and lS47 was Wing candi-
date for governor. So North Arson
produced United States Congressman
ard almost a Governor under the
shadow of the academy Another
North Arson lawyer who became
prominent was George c. Getchell. who
was clerk Of the Maine House in 1871,
and land agent in 1854. Still another
lawyer who resided on the lot lust
north Of the academy was Paulinus NJ
Foster, who was president of the Maine
Senate in 1850. What an important
place Arson must have been in TIE
years from 1871 to 1850 when these
three eminent lawyers occupied such
prominent places in the political field.
Right here it is we'll to mention the late
j. j. Parlin. who will be remembered
as a noted criminal lawyer and politi-
clan. and lawyer who fought some of
messed in Somerset county.
