Attempted Robbery.

George A. Taylor and Howard j
Taylor, brothers, who have been work
ing in the woods near Bigelow, were
arrested at Strong Sunday at IL O'Clock
on the charge of attempted highway
robbery. They were taken TO King field,
Monday morning and arraigned before
Trial Justice Dolbear and bound over to
the next term of the Supreme Court.
The Taylors came to Kingtield from
Bigelow Sunday. That night about 9
o'clock Ezra Keene of Kingfeld was
held up on the highway by two men who
knocked him down and tried to search
his pockets.
Mr.. Keene, however put up a fight
and it was hard tussle but Mr.. Keene
won out. The men evidently fearing
that some one would come to Mr.. Keene's
assistance, soon made off toward the
railroad track. They took possession Of
hand car of the franklin & Megantic
railroad and started in the direction of
Strong. Mr. Keene lost no time in nc
tifying the authorities of what had oc.
Cured. Deputy Sheriff Small at once
notified Strong o be on the lookout for
the hand car. A little later, the officer
at Strong saw hand car speeding down
the track and he was on hand to inter-
rupt its journey. On this car were the
Taylors who we're arrested.

risoD after which Mrs. Fellows 10 her
usual charming manner extended a
graceful and cordial greeting to the
guest of honor, Mrs. Emily P. Webb of

There were at least sixty ladies at the
tables and considering there was but one

Perhaps on the whole it was the most
successful Field day ever observed by
the club, and great credit is due the
committee for their good management.

Labor Day IN Skowhegan.

The various labor unions of SkoWhc-
gan are to observe Labor Day, which
occurs this year on the It'll of September,
by celebration similar to that of last
year. The cause of organized labor is
well represented by our local trades
unions, and all will work together to
make this workingman's holiday sue
cess.
George Gould will be marshal of the
day, and have general charge of the
program. The committee to Assist him
consists of Il. s. Rogers, r. ii. TowL-
send, james Brown and W. G. Hapgood.
The celebration will open at a. ~,
with performance by trick elephant,
to be followed by the grand industrial
parade, made up of members of the
unions, the secret orders, and the floats
of business houses. The committee are
anxious to make this parade an I'M
paralleled success, and hope to have the
public cooperation In their efforts.
The afternoon program will take place
at Farview Park, commencing with an
address at 1.30 by some prominent ora
tor. AT 2 o'clock will occur the athletic
sports, consisting of bicycle and auto
mobile races, 100 and 200 yard dash,
half-mile run, shoe, potato and sack
races.
At $3.50 there will be game of base
bali between well known teams.
In the evening, there will be an OPP n
air concert at 730, followed by concert
and ball in Coburn hall with music by
Lees orchestra
The railroads are Offering reduced
rates. With favorable weather, this
should be a gala day for the unions and
the town.

The Resubmission Issue.

Popular dissatisfaction and disgust
with prohibition and its workings are
deepening in this State. One notable
indication Of this is the determined op-
position of Maine prohibitionists to re-
submission of the question. The obvious
Inference from this opposition is that
they do not trust the people. They dare
not let the people of Maine give judg-
ment on Maine "prohibtion !" they will
stave off the dreaded test as long as they
can by all the means in their power
So says the Portland Argus which has
always been in favor of license law in
some form. 1t is stock argument that
has been oft reiterated. 1t is logical for
those who believe in a license law to
clamor for resubmission and for those
who believe in prohibition as the best
way to curtal the use of Intoxicating
liquors to oppose resubnisson. The
division on the issue will be on this line.
OF course there may be prohibi-
tionists who favor resubmission but they
are few and far between. The Lewiston
Journal championed the cause for six
months, claiming it to be in the interest
of prohibition, but just as soon as it
came up before the legislature, nearly
all who spoke in favor of resubmission
boldly declared the object of the move
was to secure license law and to break
down prohibition in Maine. Stripped of
all DISCUSSES the fight Is between license
and prohibition, and friends of the
present law readily understand it.
The fight necessarily comes in the
election of members of the two branches
of the legislature. The process of
amending the constitution to elmin ate
the prohbitory amendment must origi-
nate in that body. 1t cannot be sub
mitted to the people until the friends of
license secure two-thrds of each branch
to favor the project, Just as it does to
change any constitutional provision.
This will be difficult thing to do. The
laboring oar is on the part of the friends
of the license law and it is not reasonable
to expect friends of prohibition to give
away the advantage they have. Itwould
be contrary to human nature or any theory
of accepted methods of warfare, for de-
PENDANT to i've up an advantage he has
over the attacking party by reason of
position. 1t would be folly for those
believing in prohibition to give up the
advantage they have in the provision
requiring twc-thirds of the members of
each house to submit the amendment to
the people. The friends of license would
not give up this advantage if the situa-
ton was reversed and they had it. IL
requires bald assurance to ask 1t.
The liquor interest is the power that
is pushing the resubmission issue, and it is
organ zed for this purpose. Every man in
Maine who believes IN prohibition should
stand like lock against the result
mission delusion.

The Reliance Won.

Reliance on Saturday won the first
race of the thirteenth series for the
Americas cup, it being the fitty-3ecoud
anniversary of the day the schooner
yacht America captured the famous
yachting trophy. The wind blew ten
knots and the conditions were excellent
for the flfteer mile beat to the wind
ward and the run home. Shamrock
again got slight lead in crossing the
starting line, but Reliance was soon close
after her. The official time of the start
was as follow- Shamrock LII, Il 40 II /;
Reliance. IL 46 81. II WAS a brilliant
race to the outer mark, Reliance slowly
but surely outfooting and outpointing
her rival. Reliance turned the outer
mark at l.55.l4, Shamrock at les 30,
uno ffical time. On the run home Re
lance continued her good work and at
five miles from the finish was apparently
leading by a mile and qnarter From
that time on 1t became certain that bar
ring accident or fluke Reliance would
win. Reliance crossed the finish line at
3.l7.45, Shamrock at 1926 40.
On Thursday the first race was at
tempted and the yachts sailed over the
course but there was not sufficient wind
to allow them to cover the distance in
the time specified and the race was de-
claed off.
On Tuesday the Reliance won over
Shamrock Ill by the narrow margin of l
minute 10 seconds. The race was over
a triangular course, ten miles to each
leg. 1t was as pretty aud as hard fought
contest as has ever been sailed off Sandy
Hook. The Reliance sailed the 80
miles within minutes and 80 sec
onds of the record, which speaks wor-
derfully for her speed in the windwsrd
blowing.

The London Spectator has a good
opinion of Secretary of State Hay and
pays him a high compliment but a
sensible and just one, as follows: at
is the GROWING proof that he is one of
the ablest and most successful OF living
diplomatists, or rather foreign ministers.
The incident affords useful opportunity
for considering Mr.. Hays place among
the worlds statesmen, and noting the
qualities that have raised him to that
great position. His ruling qualities are
serenity, flrmness, high sense of honor
as we'll as of public duty, and wide
knowledge of men and affairs, without a
truce of the bully or blusterer in his
composition. He is never awed, not
merely by other men, kind of courage
which is not uncommon, but he is never
awed by rumOr, circumstance or the
creation of bogies of any kind"

President Roosevelt has made his
attitude relative to the demands of labor
unions known to the departments of
government at Washington. The salient
sentence of the letter defines his sensible
position as follows: "There Is no Oh
lection to employees of the government

into union if they so desire; but no
rules or resolutions of that union can be
permitted to override the laws of the
United States, which it is my sworn
duty to enforce"

Many southern newspapers disagree
out loud with Senator Tiilman of South
Carolina and Editor Graves of Georgia
who at Chautauqua, n. z, some weeks
ago rivaled the South Carolina senator
in brutal deliverances In regard to the
race problem in this country. One OF
his foolish ideas, expressed at that time,
was that the negroes must be forced out
of the country. The impossibility Of
any such course has been sustained by
several southern papers. The Memphis
Scimetar says there is another reason
why it is impracticable. 1.-THE white
people where the negroes are most nu-
merous would not let them 60" 1t tells

Let's suppose you are using lead and

stuff that doesn't paint at all. Put that
against a gallon of lead and oil, and
what will it do? One fifth as much
