Before the committee on judiciary,
Wednesday afternoon. Charles l.. Fox.
of Portland, lately Socialist candidate
for Governor, appeared in behalf of the
petitioners for the establishment of
municipal coal and wood yards.
He began by stating the petitioners
position, referred to the number of
names on the petitions and then read a
batch of letters coming from all over
the State. Mr.. Fox then read strong
dorsing the plan.
Thereupon Mr.. Fox continued his
address to the committee telling how
the coal strike had brought home to
the people the inquiry of the present
control of both the wholesale and re-
tail coal trade.
Mr.. Fox spoke with great earnest
ness, declining to be interrupted with
questions till he had concluded.
w. G. Hapgood of Skowhegan, ap-
peared as the representative of the
trades unions of Skowhegan, endors-
ing the bill, saving that the senti-
ment in that town is overwhelmingly
in favor of the plan. Coal went to SIT
and SIS during the strike and wood
rose to SIS.
James III. Walsh of Portland said
that he appeared in behalf of 700 long
shoremen of which he is one. He spoke
of the suffering in Portland during the
coal famine. Coal could be purchased,
he said, if man had the price, but
the price was prohibitive-it was more
than. laboring man could pay. 1t
was true that a man could secure fuel
by appealing to the city, but that
would have cost him his manhood and
made him "a pauper
Chas. w. Hanscomb of Bath, spoke
for the laboring men of the Shipping
city He presented resolutions in favor
Of the bill from the various labor Or
CARNATIONS of Bath.
Mr.. Fox ard Representative Curtis
of Portland had a brief tilt over local
conditions in Portland and the bill was
then tabled for executive session.
Thos. f. Allen Of Bangor, appeared in
behalf of the State detectives who ask
that they be given the same authority
that Il sheriff has in his own county
in criminal cases. F. l.. Odlin of
Lewiston. a. p. Bassett of Nor
way, Charles A. Maxwell of Port
land and Maxine Beaulleu of
Lewiston, were present as State detec-
tives to support the measure. They
told the committee of the disadvan-
tages under which they now labor and
made a strong presentation of their
views.
The committee voted to report Ought
to pass in new draft on the bill TO estab-
lish municipal court in the city of East
port on the bill to establish a street and
sewer commission for the city of Auburn
and on the Brunswick and Topsham water
district; fought to pass" was voted on the
resolve appropriating $60o.23 for the ex-
penscs of the contestants in the Lewiston

THE LEGISLATURE.
Continued from page 5.)

Company had entirely violated it's con-
tract then made That it had fairly
agreed not to attempt for two years to
change the board of management of
the T. l.. D. Co. and then at the annual
election had ousted two of the repre-
sentatives of the numbering interests
from the board and assumed control.
ALLOW us to drive the logs and the
Great Northern must get all it's logs
before we get ours. Allow them to
drive the logs and they get theirs and
we will not get ours, as was proven in
1901.
What we want is the right to drive
the logs we cut on the West Branch.
We want 10 other right, we ask for
none. We want you to give to the
Great Northern Co. the right to store
all the water they can on our dam and
to build what other dams it desires.
But they have no right to our vested
rights and we do not wish you to give
them to them nor do we think you
WILL
At the evening session the principal
witnesses We're F. w. Aver, the Ban
gor lunberman, who has been active
in opposition to the bill, John Ross,
another Bangor lumber operator,
James Fl. McNulty and others in the
same business. They told a great deal
about the lumber business and claimed
that they could handle the drives bet
ter than the Great Northern people.
Considerable stress was laid upon the
testimony upon the delay of the drive
i'll 1901 and the loss of the logs in the
spring freshet of 1902. 1t is claimed
that the Great Northern was RESPONSE
BILE for the delay and the loss, as they
did the driving in 1901.

ing Bull rock bridge. Frank T.. Southland,
Scott r. Frye, William r. Donnell and

in favor of the bill and Representative
Potter. Lyman A. Smith, William Fl.
Coombs, Ambrose T. Storer Charles e.
Townsend and Stephen c. Whitmore, all
of Brunswick, appeared in opposition. The
petitioners claimed that the bridge was
more beneficial to the citizens of Bruins
wick and West Bath than it was to Bath
and therefore that city should not be com
PEELED to keep it in repair. The remon-
strants contended that the bridge was
relatively of more benefit 10 Bath than
it was to the other towns.

DISTURBED THE QUAKER NETTING.

AS boy Peter A. B. Widener, the traction

nischievous. Once it is alleged. he came near
breaking up a Quaker meeting. This Is the
story as told by some of his friends:
He was walking with another boy In Mont
go1nery County, and, coming to the old meeting
house that is near the famous Belmont Race
Track he reered through the half opened door
at the quiet folk within. 1t was strange spec
tacle he beheld-a great room filled with men
and women, all motionless, all silent
Young Wdener went to q bakery near BY
and bought little pie. Then he walked boldly
into the meeting house He stood in the middle
OF the aisle and held the pie up.
This pie" ne said in his clear young treble
voice. "is for the one who speaks first here
Whoever speaks first gets the pie"
An old man, tall and lean, arose He pointed
his finger in reproof at the boy.
Friend go thy way" he said Does thee
think that to interrupt
But young Widener had already hurried down
the aisle to him.

COTTON FUTURES.

The remarkable rise in the pr;es Of
cotton and the wonderful success,
temporarily at least. of the gambler,
Brown, who is said to be making
millions out Of his speculations may
cause many young man to turn his
mind to the cotton future snare. 1t
is not the intention Of the writer to
preach a sermon on the sin Of gam
bling. 1t is recognized by thought
ful people to be very ugly sin, and
the writer believes that the thought
full people are right. But this is
written to call attention to the dan
ger in that kind of business. It's a
horse that will eventually throw you,
albeit you may ride safely for many
a day. 1t is railroad that leads to
a deep chasm, albeit the train may
glide smoothly for many a mile. If
q young man can find no better use
for his spare money than investments
in cotton futures he had better put
it in good savings bank. If the
speculation is made upon some other
mans money, money entrusted to
your care, then the reason is doubly
strong for steering clear of the ces-
pool Of vice. The spirit of gambling
lies at the base of many young
mans ruin. Ii you handle other
peoples money let the amblipg
schemes OF all kinds alone. The
path may seem a shining one; to
make money without honest work
looks inviting and pleasant. Do not
be deceived. There is danger in the
gamblers course.

ADVERTISER ENTS
UNION, s. c., JULY 3, 1908.

Many OF the leading educators are
beginning to take strong grounds
against the intercollegiate athletics,
especially when there appears to be
an abnormal craze i'm that direction.
The average parent sends his son to
college for an education. and not that
he may become the champion base
ball or foot ball player in that col
lege circle. Journeying all over the
State on two or three days trips with
the attending dissipation is not con-
ducive to sound education, the!,ath-
letic crank to the contrary, not
withstanding.
