government and upon horse stealing by per-
hitting the rebels in order to obtain their
dsbanding without the use of force, to re-
tain the horses which they had seized. But
1t should be remembered that the Ta1t
mission did not create the situation VIII ch
confronted them upon their arrival; that
their instructions were to deal with the
materials at hand and 1t was no time TO
consider the establishment of dangerous
precedents. Protection of life and property
and the prevention of further hostilities
were the objects which Secretary Taft kept
constantly in mind If the people of Cuba
take advantage of the unfortunate prece-
dents created and the United States, sup
posing that we can again sail away and
turn the government over to the Cubans, Is
oompe' led at some future time to intervene.
the form Of interve ation will doubtless be
very different from that inaugurated by the
Taft mission. Another rebellion will call
for the use of an iron hand unprotected by
the soft glove of tact and diplomacy. Such
mission would be military in character
and it's problems wou d be simple in COM
parison with the difficult and complicated
with such remarkable skill and with al
most superhuman tact and patience.
AS the Louisiana homeward bound sailed
past the Moro, the Cuban flag huttered
frantically in the breeze as il to express its
gratitude to the man whose skill and pa
troublous times of the last month. To
Secretary Taft from the quarterback of the
Louisiana, the sight of the flag with a
single star still flying above the ancient
fortress must have expressed more ade
quately than the ovation he received in
leaving the harbor how much he had
complished during his month in Cuba. The
Cuban flag over the MORO continues to
signal to incoming and outgoing craft the
success Of the Taft mission.

Personal Allusion.

your letter. In which you intimate that
some one whom you do not name started
an agitation not for the purpose of pro-
curing this legislation, but for the purpose
of injuring certain bankers and business
men of Washington, is inexplicable to me.
in view of the fact that personally. in the

so far as know has approved the propo-

the measure should take.

every seat in the house filled, the au-

Farrar win Continue as Jailer.

The important question Is settled, and
need no longer perturb the people OF
Oxford County.
Hiram r. Hubbard, sheriff-elect Of
Oxford County, who will begin his term
of Office Jan. LIST, will re-appoint AZ
deputy sheriff and jailer Wilbur l..
Farrar, who has held the position for
the past two years under Sheriff McIn-
tire.
This action Is somewhat out of tho
usual line, but is acceptable to q large
majority Of the people. Mr.. Hubbard
is q Republican, elected AS such. Mr..
Farrar Is q Democrat, appointed under
Sheriff McIntire rs such, and Is still q
Democrat.
Sheriff-elect Hubbard makes this APP
pointment at the suggestion OF attor-
news and others who have done business
with Mr.. Farrar In his official capacity,
and Is governed by the fact that Mr.. Far
rar has been an efficient officer In the
Il ansaction Of both civil and criminal
business, and active, impartial and con-
sistent In the enforcement OF law.
Mr.. Hubbard has - yet made no other
choice of deputies.

Not only is the brown-tail moth dis
tributed over Maine more or less, but it
is now announced positively that that
still worse pest, the gypsy moth, has
been found iu considerable numbers In
Kittery and Eliot. While those towns
are the extreme southwest corner of the
state, there is apprehension on account
of the discovery, because the gypsy
moth eats every green thing, and it is
said will kill pine and spruce trees in
single year. Fortunately the national
and state authorities are cooperating in
the fight against them.

Editor Democrat:
After this long term of silence so far as
correspondence with the Democrat is
concerned, l desire to express my sim
cerest thanks for the many kindnesses
universally shown me by yourself and
staff from our first acquaintance. In
nv retirement here on account OF en-
forced weakness and disability which
follow closely on the passing OF the
milestones in the journey Of life, | am
obliged to retire from the general ac-
tiyities of life and find contentment In
ominous quiet.
/ look for the Democrat with much
interest weekly, that l may hear from
dear friends and rejoice with them at
the prosperity Of all individual and
associated eudeavors to push forward
the interests on all lines that have for
their aim the cause Of Righteousness and
the best good Of my fellowmen. Yonr
report of the court temperance meeting
Oct. 10 was CHEEKY, and l congratulate
the friends of temperance, and all Others
on the result of the vote on prohibition
and resubmission. The bears, adorned
in gorgeous plumage, still live in dear
old Oxford County. II some OF the

would only prohibit" could see more
clearly the stand they are taking, they
might know less and do better work.
should we always on one side look,
The other never zee.
Poor weak and narrow minded souls
We should forever be.
They remind me of an incident which
occurred In my experience 10 the forties.
When on farm just outside of South
Paris village, l commenced early In the
winter to haul my wood for use the COM
ing winter. There was just snow enough
for good work, and my oxen were in good
condition for business. The road was
through long stretch of hay field, level,
with we'll trodden paths for the oxen.
On reaching this field the oxen began to
crowd each other, and SO continued until
found myself helpless to prevent 1t. II
took quite as much of their strength to
do the crowding as 1t did to haul the
load. stopped them and changed them
over to the opposite side to which they
had been working, attached them to the
sled and started again. From disgust at
their former action suddenly became
proud of them. Their action was per
feet, and they gave mo no further
trouble. 49,.
And 80 Of those who are forever crlti
cising the prohibitory law and advocat
ing some other way to rid the earth o
the curse of the rum traffic. II am a.
much in favor of temperance as you are,
are the oft repeated words Of many VIII
are at the door.latch Of the saloon, or, a
an ex-mayor of one city In the stat
says: "If the enforcement Of the pro
hibitory law promoted the cause o
temperance, ! should hold up both hand
in its favor" and then speaks of it q

stop here. My strength fails me.
