Following is Mrs. McQuilkin's poem
Years eighty-two have passed away,
Since here you came so long to stay
Since first you saw the light of day,
So helpless and so young.
What changes have been going on
How many wonders have been done
How many too, have come and gone,
Since you and were young.
Where are the old folks that we knew
Who lived here once as now we do:
And faithful wrought life's journey through.
When you and were young.
They were religious to the core
And loved their God and Savior more
Than all earths treasures ten times DER
When you and were young.
To earthly scenes they bid adieu.
Their joys above are ever new;
Yet they regard and love us too,
Though we're no longer young.
Where our school mates once so dearP
Who filled our hearts with so much cheer
When they were living with us here,
And you and were young.
Their limbs are resting in the ground,
And their immortal souls have found
A home where endless Joys abound
To be forever young.
Our dear companions from our side,
At once our glory and our pride,
Have gone Wi angels to reside
And he forever young.
Wen meet them on some future day.
Well go TO them without delay,
When earthly scenes have passed away
And we again are young.
So many friends who've gone before,
Are waiting ON the other shore,
To take us to their hearts once more
When we again are young.
think the ones we leave behind
VIII follow us and there will find
Those joys that fill a Saviour's mind,
And be forever young.
With what delight we there will dwell
With those we loved on earth so WELL
The story of Gods love to tell
And be forever young.
The thought brings with it such delight
Our sorrow vanish out of sight
And all the future looks so bright
We feel we now are Young.

Cruelty TO Animals

Selden j. Gould of Cornvlle was
brought before Judge Bachelor, yester.
day, on warrant issued from the Skow-
hogan Municipal { urt upon complaint
of w. K. Gifford, agent for the proven
ton of cruelty to animals. The form
of cruelty charged against MIR. Gould
was in failing to give his horses and cat
tie proper care and sufficient food to sus-
tain life. l. appeafed by the testimony
of witnesses that ole cow had laid dead
in the stall with another COW about IA
week and the othe cattle in the barn
were much emacated. 1t also appeared
that the responder had lost horses and
cattle in unusual numbers, during several
years past. The ctse is peculiar enc
and the complaint vas well sustained by
witnesses. The trial occupied nearly
six hours. The court found he respond
ent guilty and imposed a jail sentence
of 30 days, but ordered the mittimus
suspended during the good behavior Of
Mr. Gould. County Attorney Cover
appeared for the State and l.. l.. Walton,
Esq, for the respondent.

There is an increased concern in
Congress over the attitude of the in
fluence of the Mormon church in poll
tics This extended into the discussion
of the statehood bill in the Senate,
Thursday of last week, occupying a large
share of tue debate. Senator Hale OF
Maine characterized the debate as
interesting, valuable and startling,
because it had disclosed a powerful
religious organization "exerting itself
as dominant, potential force" over the
mind and action of its followers, which
should be taken into account in future
legislation. The Mormon church not
only dominates Utah but its influence
in some of the small adjacent states Is
powerful. This condition causes much
concern among thinking people in our
country and statesmen do well to give
it due consideration.
The Somerset reporter. [volume] (Skowhegan, Me.) 1868-1909, 1903-02-12

and the object of submitting the amend
ment to the people was not for the sake
of ascertaining how the citizens of Maine
feel on the question, but to get prohibit
tion out of the constitution so that Il
majority of the legislature can repeal the
prohibition statutes of the State. In
short the movement is the first step to
supplant prohibition with a license law.
All who believe in license law are con
sistent in supporting the movement for
resubmssion, but those who believe in
Names prohibitory law are singularly
inconsistent, in giving aid and comfort
to the enemies of prohibition by support
ing the resuhmission project.

The recent burning of one of the domi
tories of Colby College puts that institu-
ton III very embarrassing circumstances
and appeal is made to the Maine legisla-
turc for assistance to rebuild. The trus.
tees say that the college must have a
dormtory that will cost at least $40, 600
The resolve calls for $25, 900; the insur.
ance upon the burned dormitory will
yield So 600; and there will still remain
$4,000 to be secured from benevolent
friends of the college. 1t is certainly a
case of special emergency, such as the
constitution of Maine contemplates, and
the State should afford this relief il
possible.

Guided their hearing last week and take
all of this week to hear the arguments
of counsel representing the several
sides. The arguments will take uI
five and half days, the operators hav-

miners the remainder of the time. In
all, the commission heard 500 witnesses
Nine of these were called by the com
mission, 2i4 by the union miners, 155
by the non union miners and 1873 by the

Any who may have had a lingering
doubt as to the animus of the movement
for resubmission of the prohibitory
amendment to the constitution of Maine,
must have been assured that it is in
direct opposition to prohibition, by the
arguments made at the hearing before
the temperance committee at Augusta
on Thursday of last week. The trend
of the whole argument in favor Of the
measure was 10 favor of license law,

Congressman Littlefiald is receiving
congratulations upon his success in
getting his bill through the House.
He is richly entitled to this appreciation.
The Boston Journal says:
Congressman Littlefield is true
Maine Yankee in his ability to 40
things His antitrust bill, just passed
unanimously by the National House,
is thus far the greatest achievement of
the session. II is the result of frank
and earnest study and incessant pushing
on the part of its stalwart author. 1t
is victory for strong individuality
worthy of the best traditions of Maine
craftsmanship"

Fortunately, for the good of the State
of Delaware and the Republican party,
the notorious Addicks has withdrawn
from the contest for United State Senate
for that State, which he had been car
rying on for the past seven years. His
declared purpose in doing so is to restore
harmony 10 the party. Unless he is a
very much maligned man he was entirely
unfit for the honor he sought and his
withdrawal is in the interest of decent
politics. The refusal of the Senate to
confirm a nomination made by the Presi
dent, of one of his followers for U. S.
district attorney for Delaware may have
contributed to Addicks withdrawal.

1t now appears probable that the anti
trust bill passed by the Senate, known as
the Elkins bill, will become law to the
exclusion of the Littletield bill, passed
by the House. 1t is understood Pres-
dent Roosevelt and Attorney Gen. Knox
favor this bill.
