The annexation of Hawaii was
never a party question but one of
individual opinion. Many of all
parties were in favor of it and many
were opposed to it. The annexa-
ton always seemed to us advisable.
Some strong nation was bound to
annex this little group in mid
ocean, and geographical and COM
mercial reasons were the main ones
for such step. These reasons
appealed more strongly to the
United States than to any other
nation. The reasons urged against
annexation were hypothetical, the
most of them having no existence
in reality,

The jury in the case of United
States Senator Richard r. Kenney.
after being out three days, came
into court Monday night and re-
ported they could not aggree upon
verdict. They stood five for con
viction and seven for acquittal.
The charge against Senator. Kenney
was that of aiding VIM. N. Boggs
to misapply the funds of the First
National Bank of Dover, Del.
A United States Senator ought
never to be tried before a jury for
q criminal offense, but the fact
remains that several of them should
be, and convicted too.

The Prohibition party, which
held its State convention at Glyn-
don last week, elected William T.
Weldon, of near Colora, the Cecil
member of the State Central Com
mittee. The party adopted one
plank only, prohibition, as it's plat
form. The party is gradually
evolving into a national prohibition
association, from the attempt to
occupy the position of a national
prohibition party with all the par
aphernalia of conventions, candi-
dates, tickets and election cam
paigns. When they have reached
that stage they will exert a power
full political influence as we'll as
moral force. AS a distinct polit-
ical party their political influence
is very small, in fact almost nil.

Names most important game animal
has been much in evidence, 10 South
Paris AS well as other parts OF Oxford
County, during the past week, and nu-
merous families are now living on tooth
some venison. and numerous antlered
heads are being put In shape to grace the
wall of hall or dining room.
South P.ris got its first taste OF ven
ison before the snow storm. Monday
night Of last week viii DeCoster, while
hunting on Elm Hill, got sight at q
doe and two fawus. He shot the doe,
but the fswns got away. Charles Stuart
and Don Bean got a shot at the lawns
that same night, but did not bring them
down. The next morning Stuart and
Bean were out at 4 O'Clock, and early In
the dsy Stuart was exhibiting one Of the
fswns about the village. lt was large
for fawn, and you can imagine the
smile on Charles face. The other fswn
got away. The two deer shot were the
tirst that have been brought into the vii
lsge this fall.
The snow of Thursday gave the deer
hunting boom, and n number took the
train for Gilead that afternoon. Myron
w. Maxim had the quickest return. He
went out Friday morning, and inside of
half an hour hsa q three-year-old buck,
which he brought home that afternoon.
George X. Morton and Lester DeCoster
returned Saturday morning with three
deer-a doe and two spike-hOrn bucks,
not large ones, but pretty ones. De
Coster shot one of them Friday, and
Morton brought down the other two
early Saturday morning.
Four deer were travelling In the woods
near Paris Hill Friday, and q number Of
sportsmen were out, but none OF the
deer were brought In.

Horace Maxim and Caleb Dudley wer'

weight Of the animal IL reported at ovel
800 pounds, but definite information
might reduce those figures some. Anoth
