E. c. Pannell for county Auditor
will prove a good selection by the
voters. He is an old and most
highly respected resident of Wor'
thington. He has many times been
elected a member of the city council
and two years as president of the
village and would have been elected
again but absolutely refused to
accept the position. He has been
engaged in the dray business here
for years. In all of his private and
public business relations, he has
always been found upright and
everyone has the utmost confidence
in his integrity. He is fully quail
fed to conduct the affairs of the
Office and there is no reason why
any citizen should hesitate to cast
their vote for Ed. Papnell.

R. NJ. Fields in the Chicago
Evening Post: The foot hall season
is progressing as triumphantly as
could be expected considering the
mildness of the weather and the
solftness of the gound. So fur as we
know oaly one young man has been
killed thus far. Sioux Falls, which
enjoys the distinction of being the
most completely equipped divorce
center in the country, has added to
an International equation by con-
tributing the first victim to the
insatiate archer who, by the way,
has temporarily resigned his bow
for football suit. A young gentle
man at Harvard was unconscious
for an hour or two, and other heroes
of the girdiron have been manned
and stunned, but only one funeral
has. been announced. However,
the season is yet young. Cheer up.

and decorous for ones college to die.

Senator NJ. A. Hanna, of Ohio, in
an interview: Ninety per cent. of
the American people sympathize
with the strikers and are against
the orators in this fight. If the
strikers need more money than
organized labor can raise to carry
on the battle the people at large
are willing to subscribe. l know of
business men who are willing to
contribute large checks rather than
see the mon starve into submission.
They believe it would be a disgrace
to American manhood if Baer and
his associates were able to win the
victory through the brute force of
capital held in stubborn hands,
If this strike is still on when con-
gress meets, Baer and his friends
will hear something drop. Four
fifths of all the men elected to the
house this year will be pledged to
take drastic action against the coal
monopoly. There may be some
difficulties in getting at the ques-
ton, but the way will be found.

The rule against smoking which
has been enforced by Prof. Rankin
of Carroll College is in the interest
of the students.
It is rule which has been adopted
in other high-grade educationl
institutions with good effect.
Whatever may be said III favor of
the use of tobacco by men, it is
almost universally conceded to be
injurious to those who have not
attained their full growth. There
is also Il question Of manners
involved, and the manners as we'll
as the physical wellbeing Of the
young men under his supervision
are distinctly within the purview
of the head of an educational institu-
ton for young men. It is putting
the fact mildly to assert that boys
who smoke are rarely those who in
their general conduct and discipline
set the best examples for their
fellows. There is still another
consideration. Several of the largest
railway corporations of the country
have recently adopted rule that
they will net employ mon who
smoke The province Of Carroll
College is to fit its graduates for
success in life. Naturally its presi-
dent does not desire his young men
to form habits which on leaving
their alma matter might handicap
them in the search for honora bic
employment.
There is plenty of time for every
American citizen to decide for
himself whether or not he wants to
use tobacco, after he has attained
the age of 21.-Milwaukee Evening

American working man is protec-
lag himself pretty well by trade
union methods, and what he lacks
in this direction is supplied by
superior industrial methods and
inventions which give him an enor
nous advantage in competition with
producers in otner countries ] and
actually make the cost of product"
ion by we'll paid American labor the
lowest in tho world. ~
With absolutely free trade today
Americans could hold their own
marktes and sell in all the great
markets of the world, as they are
doing now. The trust might not ,be
able to pay big dividends On a
volume of stocks two or three times
as great as the real value of their
capital but they could pay the same
or higher wages and still make large
profits. ~
That would protect the American
workingman more than any other
thing government could do Tor him,
because while it would not reduce
the number Of dollars he earns
it would give him more of the
things he has to buy in return for
his dollars.

Harper's Weekly: President
Palama desires that this government
shall withdraw it's troops from
Cuba. They consist of a few hun
dred coast artiilerymen, who were
left in the island for the purpose of
keeping the coast defenses in order,
and, incidentlly, for the purpose of
instructing the new born Cuban
army in the use of it's material II
the new republic is ready to take
charge of, and to man, is defense
the withdrawal of our artillerymen
is justly ask. At the same time, it
must be confessed that it is fairly
certain that President Palma would
not vet have asked for the severance
of this slight physical connection
between the island and the country
which has bestowed upon it it's
independence of the relations bet
ween the two governments were
entirely friendly. It is greatly to
be regretted that there should be a
sore feeling between the two count
ries at the outset of Cuba g independ-
ent existence 1t is due, first of
all, of course to the refusal of our
own congress to grant the commerce
ial relief which the Cuban honestly
believed had been promised them.
While this is true, it is doubtful
WHETHER perfect friendship could
ever be established under any other
relation than that of mother count
ry and colony. Cuba, aside from
his commercial difficulty with us,
seems to be starting out on q regular
South American political career. The
politicians have split themselves and
the people into an almost infinite
number of factions. Threats have
been made of impeachment against
Palma, who is honest, but is making
the mistake of trying to please every
body. The congress is said to be-
composed of a lot Of self seeking
politicians, who make it their
business to breed an anti American
feeling with q view of retaining
their own importance and increas-
ing their own eains,f for they have
voted themselves g, 600 year, and

TASTES IN MUSIC.
What the Local Music Lovers Buy in
the Line of Songs.

There is falling off in coon
songs" said a music dealer, yesterday,
undoing some rolls of music that had
just come in. THE public is turning
its attention at present toward opera
music 1 noticed this more particularly
last spring, that as soon as an opera
visited the city 1 would have a brisk
trade for while supplying the demand
for selections from them in sheet mu-
sic FORM OF course / sold a number Of
the vocal scores, but the majority pre-
ferred a single catchy song or two.
1T isn't the new songs that are pop
ular with the people. 1t is absolutely
necessary that they hear a song be-
fore a demand for any particular one
is created. One would be surprised if
he but knew the number of sohgs that
are being put on the market every day.
The success of a song depends much
upon the way in which it is introduced
and who brings it forward, and you
will find it true that in nine cases out
of ten it isn't the best song that de-
mands the largest sale or has the big
gest publication.
LAS 1 have said, people have to hear
song before they buy. Why, the
other day one of the soldiers came into
the store and wished for a song, but
unfortunately did not know the title.
He remembered few snatches of it,
however. which enabled me to associ-
ate it with the name of the song which
he desired. 1t was an old one which
had formerly kept in stock but had
run out Of and thus had to send for it.
I'VE have good many amusing
things in our line of business" contin-
ued the dealer becoming reminiscent

The man who registered at Hotel
North as F. Z. Barker of Bangor, and
who is now serving a term of 80 days
in the county Jail for jumping his
board bill, has been identified. A. w
Wilkins of Winthrop. proprietor of the
Winthrop house in that town. was here,
yesterday. and identified him as Will
Davis. Davis went to the winthrop
house at about $50 A. NJ, Sunday
morning, and remained for some hours.
This was the same day that he was
at Hotel North. After his departure
one of the guests at the Winthrop
house discovered that her room had
been entered although she had left it
rocked. This lady accompanied Mr..
wilkins to the city, yesterday, and at
the police headquarters identified some
of the articles which were found upon
Davis at the time that he was arrested,
as those which disappeared from her
room when it was broken into. Among
the articles mentioned was the pair
of SpectacleS mentioned in the Journal
at the time of the arrest as having the
trademark of Worcester jeweler, a
gold pin, a pen knife and some pos
tage stamps. Fortunately the lady had
left no money in the room with the
exception of a few cents and some val
liable jewelry which she possessed was
also previously put out of the reach
of the thief. Davis is said to have
been member of the firm of Davis
Bros. at Monmouth at one time and
it will be remembered that he had
cards bearing the name of this firm
on him when arrested. His father lives
in Bangor and he has passed some
time in that city. 1t is understood that
a warrant will be sworn out against
him for the Winthrop break, return
able before a trial justice in that
town.
