FIRST CHRISTMAS TREE.

Down at Wooster, Ohio, where this
editor used TO live, there was an old
German by the name OF August [mgard
who was known for half century as
the 6 Father Of the Christmas Tree, :"
in this country, having brought the
idea with him from his early home in
Germany. Whether this was entirely
true or not, doesn't matter much, but
it is fact that the Christmas tree is
a comparatively recent feature in our
observance of the day IN this country.
In these latter years the woods are
being devastated almost in order to
supply the demand. II is claimed that
Maine sends out nearly million a
year, Vermont half that many, and
Colorado one-tenth as many ever
greens in q single season. Some nur-
series in Michigan are making bust
ness OF growing fine trees and ship
ping them to the eastern cities for the
Christmas time.

SO far as the epithet he applies to
the Journal editor is concerned it is of
little consequence; such things come
naturally from angry men, and are not
to be taken too seriously. We must,
however, take issue with the assertion
that the information we asked for in
the name of $4,000 readers is none Of
their business. We assert, on the con-
trary, that it is emphatically their bust
ness, and we have Inexperienced the

The Prize Democratic Liar.

We do not know his name, but he
spoke in a Franklin county town the
other night and the Pennington Chron-
icle. which is 4 conservative old paper
and not given to flights of the magma
ton. gives US a brief account of his
speech. There has been some mighty
tall lying done by Democratic writer's
and speakers in this campaign in their
desperate hope to bamboozle some hon.
est voter. but the gentleman in uues-
ton makes his more distinguished COL
leagues in Waterville, Augusta and
Machias look like bashful amateurs
His text was the porcupine bounty,
which shows that he has not kept up
with the output of the Democratic falsi-
fication factory and is not aware that
this tissue" has been discarded by his
party along with the three bottles Of
Rumford Falls whiskey secured by
Candidate Davis, and along with other
tissues" which have shown embarrass-
ing boomerang qualities.
Assuming that the porcupine bounty
is the burning issue of the day. this
faithful follower of Andrew Jackson
and Cyrus w. Davis was plainly deter
mined to make thorough job of it. He
sclennly assured his hearers that the
porcunine bounty law was passed solely
as a means of graft for the Republican
ring" in Augusta; that the noses were
all sent by the town clerks to the State
House, where, after the bounty had
into the Kennebec river: that local Re-
publican hcelcrs put screens across the
river by which they recaptured the
noses and took them to the State
House. where the bounty was paid on
them again. This innocent little tale,
becomingly decked out in frills and fur
bellows such as Democratic orators
know well how to attach, was told as
gospel truth and was the speakers ar
SutlleUI ltI NlCloIy iicHL
Monday.
1t is a great mistake for doc" Jones
to hide this shining light under BUSH
ell. He should be made the
leading attraction of the Demo-
cratic rallies in the larger centers
where the lukewarm hundreds present
are cheerfully magnified into wildly en-
thusiastic thousands in the columns of
the truthful Sentinel. Some may har-
Dor the suspicion that the antics of this
speaker explain the mysterious disap-
pearance of those three bottles Of whis-
key which Candidate Davis secured at
Rumford Falls and which are no longer
used as an exhibit to draw the faithful
to Democratic rallies, but this explana-
ton does not explain everything. Any
way. he has demonstrated his eminent
fitness for the Democratic gubernatorial
in 1908.
