If President Roosevelt has put a ban
upon the war talk" in which some of
our naval officers have been indulging
of late. he has done wise thing. Pre-
dictiCns of great wars soon to come
with Germany or some other power,
boasts as to cur navy and ridicule of
foreign naVes are things Te~y unbe-
coming in American naval officers and
the ambition TO see themselves in print
should not lead them to forget the
dignity and responsibility of their call
ing. Indiscreet talk by naval officers,
whether at home posts or in foreign
stations. works no end of mischief. 1t
is given undue weight by the 'oreign

it's diplomatic relations There has
been far TOO much of it in the past few
years, and some of the offenders have
been high in the service.

The "Lincoln Cabin" Fraud.

How many thousand American
at the cabin in which Abraham Lin
coin was born" They saw it at the
Columbian exposition at Chicago and
at the Pan-American exposition at
| Buffalo. They have beheld it in one
city and another for the past decade
or two. 1t has known neither waste
nor decay in it's wanderngs. We are
| told that it was set up in the church
parlors of Plymouth church, Brooklyn,
when Lincoln evening was celebrated
| there in February. Undoubtedly it
will be seen at ST. Louis and later at
the Lewis and Clark exposition at
Portland. Oregon. AS far as we know
it has never been in Maine, but some
enterprising fair management could
doubtless get it without much trouble
or expense.
All Of which goes to show how the
good natured American public likes to
be fooled. Does anybody suppose that
a pioneer cabin built of green logs, a
full century ago. and left neglected for
many years would still be preserved?
And yet enterprising spectators with
unbounded audacity have imposed
many frauds upon the credulous public
as bad as this. H. A. Scomp a clergy
man now living in Tennessee writes as
follows to the Boston Transcript in ex-
posture of the Lincoln Cabin" fraud:
The writer of this, when youth
hardly past his majority, was for some
| time principal of the seminary in
Hodgensville, La Rue county, KY,
| a bout three miles from Mr.. Lincoln's
birthplace. Several old people were
still living in the vicinity who remem-
bered the Lincoln family and often
gave me "reminiscences of them. The
writer was somewhat acquainted with
the country near the old cabin" site;
for the shack itself had rotted down
long before that time. Thirty years
ago the only vestiges of the Cabin
still on the ground were a few stopes-
once the corner stones or supports for
the stills of the hut. and small heap
of rubbish at one end, where the Chin
ney formerly stood. These We're all the
remains. thirty years ago, of the hut
where the great emancipation was
born.
Down the hill, not many steps away,
| is the Lincoln spring-nearly the sole
| relic of the Lincoln home; the spring is
genuine and no mistake. 1t probably
| determined the location of the Cabin. .
| The surrounding land is very poor and
| SO little worth cultivating that in those
+, days when the writer knew the place a
large part of it had grown up in
bushes. That Thomas Lincoln should
have selected such land for a home in
stead of the far more fertile land in the
valley of Nolin close by is further proof
If proof be needed-of the extreme
poverty of the Lincoln family.
+, But the badness Of the Lincoln
Cabin fraud is made still more alb
surd by associating it with the birth

have such funds and send thousands OF

The bill regulating the speed of auto
mobiles on the highways which was
passed by the Legislature, last winter,
was not the outcome of great public
manning of human beings through the
reckless racing of millionaires. 1t was
precautionary measure, and it Are-
mains to be seen how far it will be OBJ
served or enforced The hundred or so
automobiles owned in the State have
occa sionally frightened horses and
startled pedestrians as they whizzed by
on country road, leaving cloud of
dust and a smell of gasolene behind
them, but their owners have been gen.
orally careful and considerate. and the
serious trouble apprehended when the
|ls.en realized in this section.
But in other states. in the great
cities and their suburbs, the auto
mobile has become little short of an in
tolerable nuisance from the somewhat
prejudiced point of view of those NOR
tails who are obliged to travel afoot or
behind the old-fashioned horse. Many
persons have been killed or injured by
being run down by these machines go
ing at railroad speed on public ways.
The gilded youth in Boston or Chicago,
New York or Newport, when arrested
for exceeding the speed limits, takes
the affair as a tribute to his proves
and pays his fine with laugh, if the
magistrate goes so far as to fine him.
AS the result of these conditions
which have been growing worse very
rapidly public sentiment has been de-
handing more stringent laws. The
New York assembly has just passed Il
law whose operations will be watched
with much interest. 1t calls for the
| licensing of chauffeurs under state au-
thority. and provides cumulative pen
alties for breaking the law, a third
iconviction involving loss of the license,
imprisonment for not more than thirty
days and fine not less than 800 nor
more than $3.50 Further restrictions
are placed by the measure upon speed
| ing. This, it is hoped, will prove more
effective than one small fine after
another which the rich automobilist
pays and thinks no more about. This
New York law is liberal for it permits
a speed of 20 miles an hour through
the main streets of unincorporated vii
lagos. where Germany permits only
zine miles an hour, Belgium only six
miles. France. in narrow and pOpulous
streets, allows automobiles to proceed
only at a foot pace. But they dash
through New York streets at 30 miles
an hour because the present law is not
only unenforced but non-enforcible.
So-called arrests" and trials" have
teen jokes to the offenders. The new
Maine law puts the legal speed at eight
j.! miles al hour in cities and villages and
| Is miles IN the country, though cities
and towns may have bylaws allowing
greater speed.

A circumstance which will go to con-
siderable length in keeping close rela-
tons between the United States and
Cuba is the fact that our money is in
such general use in the island. AT the
postofiices United States money is al
ways expected, and in some cities, par
ticularly Santiago, it Is the only kind
in use in trade The latest announce
ment is that the Havana street rail-
road company has changed it's rate OF
fare to the American nickel. 1t is evi.
dent that our currency is destined al
an early date to be the only one
known in the island. and Spanish and

circulation. It is only one of many

How to Get Well--HOW

If you want to get well and stay well
you must make the Kidneys well. The
Kidneys are the most important organs
in the body they do the most work and

quickest.
You cannot run a great piece of ma
chinery without attention of some
kind
Neither can you expect to have good
health if you fail to look after your
Kidney Machinery.
The blood passes through the Kid
neys thousands of times Il day, as often
as through the heart. and this is going
on every minute of our lives.
If the Kidneys are we'll they filter
just so much blood, but if they are sk.ll
or weak from any cause they leave the
poison in the blood. and this poison
poisons the entire system.
When you consider their great work
and the ease with which they become

and sickness?
Can you wonder at the alarming in

formerly territorial governor of Da-
kota, and for years on its supreme
bench. Judge Bookings is native OF
Woolwich and after graduating from
BoWdoin College in 1855, he at once
pushed into the far West. With half Il
dozen others, three of whom were
Maine men, and one of them college
chum, DR.. John w. Phillips, he was
a pioneer in the great unsettled region
which is now the Dakotas and Mon
tana. In 1857 he founded Sioux Falls
and for the next 25 years was lead
ing man of the territory, not only in
politics but also in the Industrial lives
which developed it. Brookings, a large
town of South Dakota, was named for
him. He established the first bank
and led the building of the first rail-
road in the territory. During his first
winter in Dakota there was an Indian
uprising and in a 50-mile ride to warn
another settlement of the impending
danger, he was lost in a blizzard. His
horse broke through the ice in crossing

then he has made his way through the
world on artificial feet and the aid OF

have suspected his loss. In the seven

East and has since practiced law in
Boston. He still has interests in the
