Mason for Corporation Commissioner

To the Editor The name of Thomas

convention for Corporation Commits
sioner. He was a member of the first
Corporation Commssion and his service
thereon demonstrated his eminent fit
ness for the position. His fairness. his
firmness, his judgment and his universal
courtesy helped to make the commission
a success then and a necessity now. If
such men as Thomas w. Mason are
placed upon the commission, the bitter
ness of feeling between the corporations
and the people, which is continual
menace to the peace and prosperity of
both, viii become less and less. the
rights of each will be carefully guarded,
and no man or corporation will ever
have just cause to complain
He is a suitable man for the position
from every point of view He is qualified
by business training, by experience in
the duties he will be called upon to dis
charge, by his knowledge of law, and by
his even temperament As a Democrat,
we of this section think that he has
claims which ought not to be ignored,
for he has always been answering in
his devotion to his party's principles and
in his loyalty to his party's nominees.
and has proven that devotion and loyalty
by laborious work in numerous cam
paigns As the candidate for Lieutenant

The Opposition to Judge Clark.

To the Editor: AS Mr.. Page, in his re-
cent letter, admitted that he voted for
Mckinley in 1896 and 1900, can you tell
me why he is so much concerned over the
Democracy of Judge Clark, who is known
to have voted the Democratic ticket
straight without scratching, ever since
he became voter? The same inquiry
is asked as to Day. Busbee and Wilson,
all of whom have voted against our ticket
whenever it suited them. 1t has been
said that as there is opposition to Judge
Clark let us drop him. But there is less
opposition to him than there is to Wal
ker, Lockhart Brown, Conner or any
other candidate for Associate Justice. or
any candidate for Railroad Commissioner.
Judge Clark is the only man who has
carried every county in which a vote
has been talIen and the opposition is so
small it has not been able to get any
one to run against him. Why then
should he be dropped at the suggestion
of men. who, whenever occasion suits
them, are found on the side of the enc
mics OF Democracy.

day last on a warrant for single sale of
intoxicating liquors. He was found
guilty and sentenced to pay fine of 800
and costs of court and 80 days imprison.

the payment of the fine and costs, to
serve 30 days additional in jail. He ap-
pealed AMI gave surites in the sum of

er appeared for the State and S. j. Wal
ton Esq, for the respondent.
Fred A. Towle, clerk at the Skowhe-
gan House was srraigned, Saturday
morning, on a warrant sworn out by
Sheriff Pencil charged with single
sale of Intoxicating liquors. He pleaded
not guilty, but Judge Bachelor adjudged
him guilty, and imposed fine of 800

The respondent appealed to the supreme
Court and gave bonds for appearance at
the September term, in the sum of 5000.
County Attorney Cover appeared for
the State, and Forrest Goodwin, Esq,
for the defense.
Judge Bachelor has imposed three jail
sentences upon violators OF the prohib-
tory law, and thus indicates his deter

statute. In this he is right and it is to
be hoped the supreme court will stand
by him.

'I am afraid l have greatly inter
fered with my own practice" said a
celebrated aurist, "by giving the fol-
lowing advice to many Of my friends:
"At the first symptoms of earache
let the patient lie on the bed with the
painful ear uppermost. Fold a thick
towel and tuck it around the neck;
then with teaspoon fill the ear with
warm water.
Continue doing this for fifteen or
twenty minutes. The water will fill the
ear orifice and flow over on the towel.
Afterward turn over the head, let the
water run out and plug the ear with
warm glycerin and cotton.
This may be done every hour until
relief is obtained. 1t is an almost in
variable cure and has saved many
cases of acute Inflammation. The wa
ter should be quite warm, but not too
hot."-London Tit-Bits.

Can America Compete with the
Orient In Rice-Growing?
august Review of Reyiewsa

Stimulatep by their success, the aim of
these ambitious agriculturists is to place
the American rice belt in as dominant a
position as the corn, wheat. and cotton
belts. AS the South regulates the price
of cotton in the worlds market. the day
will come when we shall dictate the rice
market as well, is the universal sentiment.
Although readily disposing Of the bulk of
their staple at home, they have already
entered Europe and with an opportunity
to sell on equal terms with their Oriental
competitors, they are sanguine of attaining
their object. The claim that this prairie
land will produce grain at lower cost
than even Asiatic fields is we'll founded by
comparing the average yield per acre and
the time and labor required. The Jap
anese is content to till his plat at one-sixth
of the wages paid the laborer in Louisiana
and Texas, but one American with his irri-
CATION system and machinery can cultivate
hundred acres in year where his east
ern competitor, depending upon natural
flooding and hand tools, can work but
three-fourths of an acre. Every rice ex-
pert is familiar with this fact, and il Is one
of the sources of the general optimism
that prevails. No one can predict the
limit of future success.

The Coal Trade Journal says that
July has been record breaker in soft
coal output, while coke production is
behind the demands of the furnaces. 1t
says there will be demand for all the
anthracite that will be produced in the
next two years. 1t is reported from
Pittsburg that about 100000 bushels
of coal were started South in one day.
Shipments are made as fast as facilities
will admit. The use of soft coal is in
creasing in many sections because of the
scarcity of hard coal. The coal situa-
ton is daily becoming more serious. In
the large cities the price of anthracite
has been further advanced, with the
prospect that this operation will be re-
peated as the fall season approaches.
At meeting of the managers of the
combined monopolies in New York last
week, it was agreed to stand firm in their
position, to refuse all arbitration and to
reject all compromise
