FROM time to time we have seen statements to
the effect that Cole Younger, erstwhiie prisoner
of this institution editor of The MIRROR for
some years. This story is purely fictitious, altho it
never hasIbeen fatty contradicted before. We posi-
lively know that Mr.. Younger never had anything to
do with Encouragement of this paper, and only on
or two occasions did he contribute anything
for publication. Altho he was good conversation
alist andIpossessed retentve memory, he was in no
sense, writer. According to of thestatements
we have would infer that he was celebrity
with the pen-a Kipling, if you please. Whereas,
he could not tell the difference between verb and
an adjective.
We make this statement, not because we wish
to detract any of the glory that he may have de-
rived from being advertised an editor, but merely
to correct an important" historical fact We also
believe that if the gentleman we're Intercepted in
regard to his qualifications writer, candor would
compel him to confess his lack of ability Never
theless the canard has travelled far and near and
accepted being correct. The story is pure fiction,
and sounds rather ridiculous to those who are &C.
quainted with the facts.

NEVER before in the history of this country has
there been such widespread publicity given to our
commercial interests as is being done today. The
most remarkable thing of all is that this publicity
appeared to be necessary in order to inaugurate
needed reforms. Years ago they put men in a ma
chine called the pllory in order to reform bad
habit. AS the pillory placed where everybody
could behold the culprit, the humiliation suf6-
cient to cause him to change his conduct
Today an individual is not placed in the pillory.
It is unlawful to do So Instead, his character his
business methods and his reputation good citi-
zen scrutnzed closely If the person lacks these
essential qualifications, and if he is connected with
concern that affects the public welfare he is pill
ored in the public press. The humiliation wrought
by the press is, if anything as great that brought
about by the pillory. Both are correctional The
one hurts a mans pride, and the other destroys
his business reputation. We may sheer at the i'm
potency of publicity all please but it is as neces
sary to the people as artillery is to wellequipped
army.

SUPERINTENDENT COLLINS put into effect in

five years these bars will be replaced by star

are also allowed to take daily, tr-weekly or semi
weekly newspaper, which must be returned to the
correspondence department at the expiration of two
days."
TO those who areunacquainted with prison meth

were pampering the prisoners of that institution.

What Use?

Not made to love the tumult of the street,
The rumbling wheel, the noisy, jostling
crowd,
The steady tramp of ever moving feet,
The smoke enwrapping all as in shroud.
Not made to love the ever cropping guest
For that which draws mankind forever on,
For deep within and throbbing through his
breast,
There turks for all all ever-growing scorn.
What use is there to struggle, toll and fret,
The more they have the more they wish to
gain,
And death around them ever draws his net,
But dollars, dollars, is their only strain.
Their eyes cannot the world of nature see,
Their ears cannot its myriad carols hear,
They see no beauty in the budding tree
Or in the changing seasons of the year.
But he who loves the distant purpling hills,
Who loves the shadow on the ripping
streams,
Again with rapture does his being thrill,
AS in his fancy sunset splendor CLEANS
Upon the summit Of the mountain peak,
That rising points its finger to the sky.
1t almost seems that he can hear it speak,
And say with ever whispering pines, good
by.

A CANDIDATE FOR SENATOR.


From the Waldo County Advocate
We are authorized to announce that at
the next Republican county convention the
name of Charles Everett Libby of Burn
ham will be presented as candidate for
State Senator for this county.
Mr.. Libby is a son of the late Hon. |. G.
Libby, and a well known business man of
Burnham. He has many friends through
out the Northern part OF the county and is
very popular and strong with the people
Five years ago he represented his class in
the Legislature, and it is told that when the
votes were counted on election night, those
of his opponent were so few that they were
recorded as the Scattering" Mr.. Libby,
like his father before him, is an ardent tenn
perance man and has yet to taste his first
drink of Intoxicating liquor. At the county
convention two years ago Mr.. Libby's name
was presented as candidate for the nominal
ton for State Senator, and, although his
consent was received only within twenty
four hours before, yet he showed such re-
markable strength that it was taken as a
foregOne conclusion that he would easily
gain the nomination in the next convention
if again candidate.
One thing in Mr.. Libby's favor is the
question of location. 1t has been many
years since the Northern part of the county
has been represented in the senate, not, we
believe, since the county lost one senator by
re-apportionment. The Central and
Southern part has been represented by the
late Hon. Isaac II. jackson, who was given
two terms, living in Knox during his first
term and in Belfast during the second
Then the Eastern part was represented for
two terms by Hon. Albert Peirce of Frank
fort; after which the Western part was
represented for two terms by Hon. L. G.
Morse of Liberty. Under these circum-
stances many people think the friends of
Mr.. Libby are justified in asking for his
nomination as representative, of the
Northern part of the county and that it is a
strong point in his favor.

THE MONROE ". c. 7. q.

BY invitation of the President and Core
spending Secretary of the Monroe ". C. T.
U. Miss f. F. Miller of Searsmont. Presi
dent of the Waldo County Union, came to
tell the "Story Of the National Convention"
held at Los Angeles Oct 25th to Nov. ID.
1905 A goodly number were present who
listened to Miss Miller with close attention
and interest She began by giving an ac-
count OF the trip out, describing the points
of interest and natural scenery along the
route, and showing many fiue views of the
same. also stones, wood, foliage, ETC., and a
case of metals, all of which were of more
or less interest. Next came a description
of Los Angeles and of the royal reception
given the National Women's Christian Tenn
perance Union, aud also an account of the
convention itself, with Mrs. Stevens as its
leader and presiding officer. and who again
proved her ability to rise to the occasion of
conducting this great National body of
White-ribboners in convention assembled
for the purpose of forming plans of work
for the uplifting of humanity. Our women,
and their way of doing business, Miss
Miller said, must have been very striking
object lesson to any man or woman who
had never seen the like before We always
enjoy any high compliment paid to our
noble men-why not to our noble women?
We hope every Union in the county will
avail themselves of the opportunity of hear
ing the ''Story of the National Conve ntion''
from one who was herself present as a dele
gate. Truly, her visit to Monroe has been
inspiring and helpful in many ways.

1t is the intention of the officials of

knots for four hours on her trial trip,
and il is the hope of her builders that
she may attain 25 knots. The nearest
that has ever been made to this was by
a Russian warship afterwards sunk
during the japanese war which made
one mile at rate of 25 knots, but this
was only squirt and was not kept up.
