Letter to e. II. Walker,
Augustd, Maine.

Dear Sir: Paint is one of the things
that Railroad Companies know all
about. DO you know what AL about
means? 1t means, in paint, where to
get it.
We sell the paint for two-thirds of
the cars and stations and bridges and
everything else, that railroad men wan,
to keep good looking and sound, all
over the country.
A man who wants a gallon or two of
paint knows nothing about it; buys
whatever is handy, or gets some paint
er to make" it.
A Railroad Company asks its chem
list: (which is the best?'
The cheapest thing, to preserve or
beautify anything with, is paint. So
the whole world is painted; except, of
course, the part of it owned by poor,
slow folks.
And the paint they use is peoples in
teIligence- meter: or Ignorance meter:
tells how much or how little they
know.
Lead and oil has had it's day. Devoe
lead and zinc is the paint, because i,
wears twice as long.
Yours truly,
+. W. Devoe & Co.
P. S. J. H. Cogan & Co. sell oul

The spread of the fraternal spirit is
a proof of the advancement of ciViliZa-
ton When men comeito know each
other they begin to join hands and
stand on common soil. Ignorance is in
opposition to the cultivation of the So
ciaI feeling. Complete strangers are
suspicious of each other, In the FAR OF
age tribe waged conflict with tribe, and
lack of knowledge kept the hearts OF
men apart. When men FIRST learned,
even in it's most rudimentary sense,
that union is strength, the dawn OF
civilization began.
Today the light of education is
diffused all over our Western civiliza-
ton. and man feels that he can trust
his fellow man. The great and flour
ishing orders of our day have been po-
tent factors in cultivating good will.
No group of men can combine with
noble end in view without expanding
the gospel of brotherly love. Love Tor
ones neighbor, in the language of
Jesus constitutes one-half of religion i
the other half is love for God. Ii
man say, | love God and hateth his
brother he is a liar; for he that loveth
not his brother whom he hath seen,
how can he love God whom he hath not
seen? This is strong language from
the Apostle of Love and reminds us
that the Book of Religion contains
much on friendship. The classic story
in the Old Testament of the friendship
between David and Jonathan finds its
analogy in the parable of the Good
Samaritan in the New. In the open
ing pages of the Bible God makes a
positive response to the question: Am
| my brothers keeper? 1t is the aim
| ''Man to man the world DER
Shall brithers be for awe that"
The gospel of friendship is written on
all it's pages. The Book Of Proverbs
| might almost be called a treatise on
| friendship. 1t contains many healthy
suggestions to young men regarding the
| friends they should select, and those
| they should avoid. The condition OF
friendship is laid down in the frank
statement, that: "a man that hath
| friends, must show himself friendly"
In every true man there dwells a
social spirit. This spirit goes beyond
| the bounds of the tabernacle in which
| it exists. Many ancient writers be-
uevcd that the soul of man is only a
| fragment of a larger whole, and that it
goes. out in search of other souls in
| which it will find its true completion
Aristotle was so deeply impressed with
| the bond Of union that holds two
| friends together that he defined friend
ship as one soul abiding in two bodies;
and in his philosophic discussions he
speaks of it as the Flower of Ethics
| and the Root of Politics. Seneca de-
clared that God divided man into men
that theysmight hefpFeach other. Man
can be something to another, and
another can be everything to him.
Infinite is the help man can yield to
man. Doctors ask for a consultation
when a case becomes critical and
ministers meet in conference to discuss
| problems in theology. We must have
! comrades, and certain number of
them, to live life in common. to rub

'good citizens" that they will cor
raj, would have fiocked to their
banner. 1t is the last wall of the
rumps.
They over estimated their
strength when a few reputable cit
liens were drawn into the primar-
les and few others were enticed
into the fold by the plea of "party
organization"
From the first, they have known
that their strength lay in the law
less element. The few recruits
from the respectable classes gave
them temporary hope.
That hope has departed, and
now they see their finish. Each
move made by them has been a
boomerang.
First their Insistance on shut
ting ont all republicans from any
voice in municipal management
Then came their abortive attempt
to array the classes against each
other. They forgot that the man
who tolls is as jealous of the safe
ty of his home, is as careful of the
moral welfare of his children as
any other citizen. They forgot
that they were dealing.with men
of intelligence, who could see
through their palpable --scheme,
aud so they miserably failed.
| Then a contemplate effort was
made to create race prejudice be-
tween the Indian citizen and those
who are bound by the closest so.
cial ties to them.
Another failure, and now the
abnve notice. 1t is the obituary OF
a contemplate clique, who are op-
posed to the advancement; OF Vini-
ia TO a position where they cannot
dominate the towns affairs, and
who are using a gang OF lawless
hoodlums to attain their object.

members OF the committee he
would have no rule submitted fav-

CIRCULAR ISSUED
Announcing the Abandonment OF
Party Lines and Appealing to
Voters, Irrespective of
Their Faith TO Join
Them in Defeat.

After announcing that rump
democrats only were wanted in the
management OF Vinita's municipal
affairs; after conducting a "fixed"
primary that was conceived for the
sole purpose of defeating Bud Led
better and obtaining an "open
town." after attempting to array
class against class; after sneaking-
ly attempting to create race preju-
dice, the rumps have now reached
the zenith of inconsistency, and
abandoning the principles"
which have assured their defeat
from the first, have issued the
following notice:
'ELEoTIoN NOTICE.
"The following men have been nom-
mated for the Offices set opposite
their names, respectively, at the dem
ocratic primary called by the execu-
tive committee, and held March 10,
1902. We respectfully request for
them the support not only OF all dem
ocrats, but OF all good citizens geDer-
ally, at the election to be neld Tues
day, April /. 1902"
Following this gracious invita-
ton appears the composite rump
ticket, and the responsibility for
this exhibition of nerve is assumed
by the Executive committee.
No wonder that Sanders has hit
the trail to Hot Springs, and Luz
cien Burlington was attacked this
morning with case of "indispo-
sition," that put him in bed, after
first taking the precaution Of lock-
ing the door and plugging the tele-
phone bell.
Some of the "good citizens"
who read the notices, which were
posted under cover of darkness,all
over town, simply remarked,
Wouldn't that wrinkle your Rag
LAM" Others simply smiled a
smile; some INDUCED in the melo-
dious ripple of the ''horse laugh" !"
while others were overcome.
The only thing forgotten was
any inducement for a good citizen
to vote the ticket.
No mention was made OF shut
ting off the lights or cbaining Vi
nita by preventing its growth, to
serve the purposes of the clique of
rump bosses.
Strange as it may seem, no REL
erence was made to the glories OF
a wide.open town. The executive
committee should have fret read

Paris, Aug 19.-The chauffeur of the
automobile in which Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
L. Fair were killed, whose name is Brety,
has returned to Paris. In an interview
with the correspondent OF the Associated
Press he threw some further light on the
cause of the accident, saying:
when we left Trouville, Mr.. Fair was
suffering from bronchial catarrh. He
coughed frequently on the road and dur
ing the fits of coughing his face was much
congested, evidently producing slight dir
ziness. He had just been coughing when
1 found that the tire of one of the hind
wheels was debated. I realized the dan
ger and jumped to my feet, and leaning
forward 1 shouted in Mr.. Fairs ear in
English: Stop quick! Tire no good.
Mr. Fair glanced back, but he did not
reply. Apparently he tried to stop, but
steering movement, as the machine
swerved across the road and went in a
straight line for a tree.
Mrs. Fair, as she saw the direction
the automobile was taking, clasped her
husbands shoulders with her arms and
turned her gaze towards me with look
which plainly said: We are lost The
next moment came the crash and was
thrown into field beside the road and
stunned. When I recovered, which I did
quickly, I limped to the side of my master
and mistress, and with the help of the
chateau gatekeeper's wife extricated the
bodies from the wreck"
