STATE HOUSE.
Why Some Didn't Receive Old
Home Week Invitations.
Drought Becomes General In Every
Part of the State.
Question Raised Whether or Not FairfieId's
Election Viii 30 Legal

Even now the old Home Week is be
ing heard from at the State House,
but in q way that probably accounts
for some not having received invita-
lions to return to their native state
The latest message is in the form of a
package of letters from the dead letter
office at Washington. There were per
hapS 80 in an. the greater part Of which
were sent out from Portland. These for
the most part were addressed to pco-
pie whom ii was supposed lived in the
far West. The inscriptions on the en-
vclopes showed that they had remain
ed in the poStOiliCeS to which they were
addressed for some time before being
sent to Washington.
Considering the fact that something
is something remarkable that no more
went 10 the dead letter office. Many
~ the invitations Wcl.. sent according
to the addresses the local committees
had used for similar events years be
fore. Therefore. ii was hit or miss
whether the people received the inVi-
tatiums. Doubtless many had died in
the meantime ana others had apparent
~ gone to other places. 50 that it was
impossible to learn their Whereabouts
As the invitations were sent out in
the name of Governor Powers. they
were returned to the executive depart

The state House library is the barom-
ctcr by which it is possible to see that
the summer is drawing to a close. With
the approach of the time for opening
schools comes the demand for books.
The greater part of the demands arc
made b. teachers who seek reference
books Now ana then 4 scholar drops in
for a book on some topic which ~ L. II
look up but the season is hardly adj
vanccd far enough for that. The reading
clubs too, have commenced their work
This is shown by the calls from
members Of such clubs. The season is
not in full swing by any means yet. but
tho demand is in contrast to that 81 a
month ago when the only demands wee
for works of the ightest fiction.

There is still something Of a question
whether or not Fairfield will y,tc legal
Isl, Monday. ii but one precinct is pro
vijcd according to the constitution. IT
viii De recalled that by a special act Of
thu Legislature permit was granted to
the town to have two precincts. Later
ii was discovered that the constitution If
the state says no town Of less than fpl0
inhabitants shall have more than one
polling place. In accordance with this
the selectmcn have arranged to have but
one precinct. \ Fairfield man who was
in the city. recently. said that the town
would certainly use but one precinct as
that is in accordance with the provisions
Of the constitution.
Now the question is raised whether or
not Il layman has any right to interpret
the law. Men well vcr~cd in the law AMI
whose opinions are universally respected
ana held in the highest esteem state
that the selcctmcn must legally act in ac-
cordancc with the law. ana that it is law
until declared unconstitutional by the
courts.

Hon. stanley w. Davenport

OF Wilkesbarre, Pa, terminates his
interesting but shortlived Con-
gressioual -15.er with this session
Of Congress. Mr.. Davenport un-
fortunately represents a district in
which the people believe that no
one should serve more than one
term in Congress. This precedent
was established twenty-iour years
ago, and has since been religiously
adhered 10, much to the detriment
OF the people Of that district.
We regret exceedingly that Mr..
Davenport failed Of reelection,
for he was certainly deserving Of
better treatment at the hands Of
his constituents. So long as the
people OF that sestion decline to
recognize and appreciate the ser
vices Of their public servants in
Congress, they cannot expect to
receive any amount Of favorable
legislation at the hands Of the Fed
eral Government. Mr.. Daven.
ports record ia Congress was such
as to have entitled him to a second
term. The people OF WIlkesbarre
and the Thirteenth District should
know that man can accomplish
but little one session oil Con.
gress; for everyone knows that it
requires all Of one session to be-
come thoroughly familiar with the
working OF the machinery Of that
august body. Mr.. DaVenport's
defeat is a calamity and the people
OF his district will, we venture to
say, before long recognize this fact.

a false pretence. 1t seems / am not the
only one he has beat.
Respectfully, G. MooRE.
Replying to the above we have
only to say that the SENTINEL has
no representative in the field, and
any person representing himself as
such is a fraud, subject to prosecu.
ton for false pretenses and will be
prosecuted il found. This is not
the only complaint OF the kind that
has reached this Office, and we
would again warn the public that
subscriptions TO the SENTINEL
should be addressed to this city,
that the price is So, and that pre-
miums Of knives and forks are not
given.
Washington sentinel., 1900-12-22
The American Kitchener

Reports from South Africa make
clear that the British are about to
compel the submission oft Beers
by the Wholesale murder and
starvation Of non n-combatants as
well as combatants. This is hor-
rible enough, but when we find
English methods adopted and
promulgated by American Gener-
ais in the Philippines we are forced
to protest. The orders issued BY
Gen. Macarthur are unjustiied,
cowardly, inhuman and brutal.
They are paralleled nowhere in the
military history Of the country.
They are so many confessions OF
the powerlessness Of this Govern
ment to still the longings for lib
erty in the breasts OF the Filipinos,
and hence we are driven to meth
DDS that should bring the blush oil
shame 10 the cheek OF every free
man. McArthur's Christmas gift
to the FIlipinos should be made the
subject OF Congressional investi-
cation. If pacihcation can be &C
complished by no other means, let
us try evacuation. That will save
the national honor at least.
