"The statement that the Maine Good
Templars have endorsed the candidacy

Grand Worthy Chief Templar A. II.
Newbert of Rockland in letter to the
editor of the Conference.-The. He adj
mits that Mr. Fernald may have friends
in the Order, but SO has Mr.. Cobb, of
whom it is said
Strange that those who believe in
temperance should be opposed to one
who has always been a living example
of the principles they represent and
whose glass is always turned down.
The temperance people of Rockland,
who know Mr.. Cobb best and have had
the opportunity to watch his career
from boyhood up, are earnest support
ers of his candidacy
He has the unqualified endorsement
of such men as Geo. c. Purington,
Principal of the Pennington Normal
School, Hon. Horace Purington of Wa
terville; Rev. c. Z. Owen of Waterville
and scores of others, lifelong and con-
sistent temperance advocates, who
would not endorse any man for the

INVITATION FROM R. H, MOODY
Leading Belfast Druggist Urges You to TT,
Hyomei, the Guaranteed Cure for Catarrh

Leading Belfast Druggist Urges You to Try
Hyomei, the Guaranteed Cure for Catarrh.
Any reader of The journal, who suffers
with catarrh, or who is subject to catarrhal
colds, is invited to MOOdy's store for COM
plete Hyomei outfit on approval. So con-
fident is he that Hy0mei will cure the worst
and most deep-seated case of catarrh that
he will furnish full months treatment of
Hyomei on trial.
While it would be unreasonable to expect
chronic case of catarrh, which has been
growing worse for years, could be cured
within a month, yet he feels sure that the
thirty days treatment will convince the
user that HyOmei is infallible in driving
catarrhal poison from the system. There
is no dangerous stomach drugging when
Hyomei is used. Simply breathe its heal
ing balsams through the neat inhaler that
comes with every outfit, and the germ-kill-
ing and health-giving air will penetrate to
| the most remote cells in the air passages of
the head, throat and lungs, and drive
catarrhal poison from the system. Nothing
else will SO quickly cure cold in the head
or stop an ordinary cough.
Singers and public speakers will find
Hyomei invaluable. It strengthens the
voice and gives it a rich, clear tone.
| Catarrhal deafness is cured when Hyomei
and the special HyOmei balm are used
The complete outfit costs only one dollar,
and If, after using, you can say that it did
not help you Mr.. Moody will return your
! money.

A New R. F. D. Route.

Arthur Brisbane, editor of Hearst's
New York newspaper, has written for
The Bookman a defence of yellow jour
nalism. Most people will think this
a work of supererogation, as 10 reason
able defence can be made of what we
trust is only passing phase of journal
ism. In commenting OH Mr.. Brisbane's
article the Brooklyn Daily Eagle well
says:
The yellowness of yellow papers con-
slsts in their falsehoods, their sensa-
tions, their brag, their vulgarity. They
publish untruths every day, but their
readers do not know it, for the reason
that the corrections are never made,
or, If made, appear in such small type
and out-of-the-way places that few are
the wiser.

OWING to the scarcity, causing an
~ advance in the price of a certain
high grade tobacco used in the
manufacture of the "StTH BULLOCK
cigars, togetherwith other increased cost
of production, it has become necessary
to either cheaper the production or ad-
vance the price in order to maintain
the present standard of excellence,
and after mature consideration have
chosen the latter course. After June
10, 1904, the price will be $500 per
thousand.
Believing the trade and public will
agree with me that the above is the
wiser course, and thanking my patrons
for their past generous patronage, and
hoping for continuance of the same,
I remain yours truly,

THE B. & A. EXTENSION.

The Journal of May 10th contained
an article on the B. & A. extension,
embodying statements made to the
Kennebec Journal ''by man who is
in position to have knowledge of rail-
roads," First, a positive denial was
given to the persistent rumor that the
proposed extension of the B. & A.
railroad from Lagrange to the sea
coast had been given up" and then,
assurances that the road would eventu-
ally be built One of the reasons why
the road would not be built this year
was the financial conditions, and an
other the falling off in the business Of
the big railroads of the country. AS
to the first, all who are in touch with
the money markets know that it would
be difficult today to negotiate railroad
bonds at figure that good business
men would be willing to accept; and
the fact that good business men are
concerned in this important enterprise
is shown by their determination to de-
fer operations until the money market
has come to a normal condition. As to
the falling off of railroad earnings the
New York Tribune quotes the presi-
dent of one of the largest trunk lines
as saying, May S1st, that ga monthly
loss of more than s3,50O,O0O in net
earnings confronts the railroads of this
country and must be offset by econo-
mics. A compilation of railroad earn
ings for March shows that while the
aggregate earnings of all of the rail
roads in the United States showed an
increase of fraction of l per cent in
gross earnings, there was decrease in
net of about $780, 900, or 1908 per
cent. This is unprecedented, and means
that railroads are running behind last
years earnings at a rate of nearly s45,
600, 900 year, The net earnings for
April and May were no better than
those in March, and in the three months
the railroads have run behind the re-
cord of 1908 about s11 900, 600. Labor
troubles are mainly responsible for this
condition; and that, it will be remem-
bered, was the reason given by the
Maine Central for deferring the build
ing OF the new station in Bangor. The
decrease in railroad earnings is the
more seriously felt as during the pros
porous period of 1s9S-1903, inclusive,
the liabilities of the railroads in the
United States were increased by not
less than s1,500,000. The payment of
fixed charges, therefore, leaves but a
small margin for dividends. Under
such conditions the building of the B.
& A extension is necessarily deferred;
but not given up.

The New York Herald SAYS eve are
to have school of journalism. Why
not a school of fction?" Well, why
not. The Herald shows conclusiyely
that one is as much needed as the
other; and as Pulitzer has endowed a
school of Journalism why should not
Bennett endow a school of fiction?
Yellow journalism is no worse than
the yellow fiction of today, and if both
can be eliminated by the establishment
of schools the money would be well ex-
pended in founding them.

The Halifax, Nova Scotia, Recorde

The Halifax, Nova Scotia, Recorder,
in advocating civic improvement asso-
citation for that city, quotes a Sydney,
n. s., paper as saying: There is of
course little use in attempting to i'm
prove the appearance of the streets and
public places unless some effort is made
to beautify private property" The
reverse of this proposition is equally
true. There is little use in identifying
private property if the streets are lit
tered with waste paper, torn up by road
machines, and covered with loose
stones

On each recurrence of Memorial day
we are reminded that the ranks of the
veterans are growing thinner and that
the strain and stress of long and
bloody war are telling on those who
are still with us. Commander Dawson's
address at Monroe emphasizes this
point; but we are brought to a fuller
realization of the situation by the talk
of the Bangor veterans, who say that
they are getting too old for the Memo
rial day parade and feel that this fea-
ture of the exercises must be done
away with. Had it not been for the
visit of General Miles to Bangor this
year," said prominent G. A. R. man,
there would not have been any parade
in connection with the exercises of
Memorial day." 'It's no use talking, 7"
said another 1--WE are getting too old to
march in the parade, stand around at
Mt. Hope during the exercises and walk
around the way we have been doing on
Memorial day." The general idea is that
details should be sent to each cemetery
where soldiers or sailors of the Civil
war or other wars lie buried and proper
decoration of their graves made, and
that the usual exercises be held in the
evening. While some say they want to
march "as long as they have a leg to
stand on it is evident that the march
ing days of the veterans must soon be
over.
