Governor, Voted for and Advocated In
crease of Salaries, and Voted Against
Abolishing the Fees of State Officials.


Abolishing the Fees of State Officials.
LEWISTON, Me-, Aug. %. Tonight's
Lewiston Journal republishes letter,
written by Hon. Harold M. Sewall,
which deals with the legislative record
of CYRUS w. Davis, then, as this year,
Democratic candidate for Governor of
Maine.
This letter shows wherein Mr.. Davis
had voted for the increase of many sal
aries while member of the Legislature;
that he had voted for many of the things
which he had during the campaign then
drawing to a close been denouncing.
In this campaign Mr.. Davis is de-
nouncing the same things which this
letter shows he voted for as member
of the Legislature.
Nearly two years have elapsed since
the letter was written by Mr.. SeWall.
In that time Mr.. Davis had ample time
to deny it. This he has not done. Not a
single word in refutation OF the charges
contained in the letter has been said or
written.
That the voters of Maine may have
further proof of the sincerity of the
Democratic candidate for Governor in
the depunciation of legislation of the
past we append Mr.. Sewall's letter of
two years ago.
"To the Editors of the Lewiston Jour
nal: In discussion of legislative appro-
priations, and especially of the fee sys-
tenn the democratic candidate for Gov
ernor has done injustice to the reputa-
ton for fairness and frankness which
he is evidently eager to establish.
1t is an elementary proposition OF
honorable politics that a man is stop
ped from using for partisan purposes
any action for which he by support OF
acduiesence, can in any measure be
held responsible.

present Legislature to which all bills

on which there was anything like q

pressure of representative bodies OF
our citizens, to whose voice the Legls'

sMr. Davis, in voting for the appro-
priation of $4,000 for Colby College, in
stating his own position, stated also
that Of the Legislature when ne SAID

comments, disclaims the intention OF
making local or personal application.
What it said however, is no doubt true
of Presque Isle and of the towns gen.
orally. Both city and town officials
find it difficult to get out of the rut
and any radical reform is pretty sure
to result in their being turned out OF
office. The same condition exists with
regard to the streets. Everybody can
see that for years very large percent
age of the money expended in the high
ways is absolutely thrown away. Gravel
is carted on to street without pro-
vision for proper drainage, only to be
washed away by the rains, and then
more gravel is hauled only to be washed
away in it's turn. Any we'll informed
citizen will tell you that it would be a
wise thing to build as much permanent
road each year as the place could at
ford, as this would result in time IN
good roads and greatly lessen the year
ly expenditure for repairs. But where
has this policy been adopted?

Bath, Sept. 8.
WE'RE DRINKING MORE BEER.
Increase of 1000, 900 Gallons in Our Con
sumption IN a Year.

Increase of 100000 900 Gallons in Our Con.
sumption IN Year.
The American citizen continues to
drink heartily and often, according to
the figures of the internal revenue
bureau, made public Aug. 1st. He
seems to be turning to beer. The
figures show that in the fiscal year that
closed June 80, 1905, the people of this
country consumed something like 160,-
900, 900 gallons of beer more than in the
previous year. They likewise made away
with larger quantity of whiskey than
in the previous year.
The internal revenue bureau officials
make no attempt to give the reasons,
but some of them say there has been IA
tendency to beer on the part of the
people of this country for a good
many years.
But the people also smoked thous-
ands of dollars worth more OF cigars
and cigarettes and cheWed many thous-
ands Of dollars worth. more of tobacco.
That is the story of the figures made
public Aug. 1st, being the preliminary
report of the Commissioner of Internal
Revenue. The receipts from spirits
amounted to $143, 1914, 055, an increase
of S7,435, 542 over the last fiscal year
The increase in the receipts from tobac.
CO was 50, 7e3, Os6, the total being $4s,-
422,997.
The total revenues from fermented
liquors, practically all beer, were $780,.
64l, 1858. The receipts from beer were
S54, 651, 1886. AS each barrel of beer pays
a tax of 81, this shows that the con
sumption of beer in this country in the
last fiscal year amounted to 54,651, 63t
barrels. Each barrel of beer contains
81 IL gallons. In the fiscal year 1905
the consumption was 49,459, 539 barrels

LETTER TO SWIFT & PAUL,
uru EAST MAINE

Dear Sirs: If you could get the exclusive
sale of a sweeter sugar for tivemiles round
i Id. as sweet as pound of usual sugar, and
cost no more-you'd jump at it, wouldn't
you?
There wouldn't be 100 Id. of any other
sugar sold in year in your town; you'd
gobble the trade and it wouldn't hurt your
whole business.
Devoe is like that among paints; It is
twice as sweet as some; it is sweeter than
any; not one exception; one gallon IS two
or one-and- half or acknowledgements
Better than that, paint has to be painted
that costs 50 to 81 ii gallon. A gallon saved
is So to 81 saved in labor, besides the paint.
Even that isn't all. A gallon Devoe put-on
wears as long as two gallons put-on at cost
of s. to 81 a gallon and two gallons more
put-on at So to 81 gallon. Count all that.
The paint that wears double costs less by 3
gallons of paint and gallons of painting
that's about SIS gallon for those super
fuous gallons.
That's as good as a double-sweet sugar,
isn't it?
Yours truly,
q F. w. DEVOE & CO,
New York.

what this railroad has done to stimulate

the increased values since 1892, when

Bath Enterprises: Gas the State
campaign progresses the Democratic
orators appear to give less emphasis to
the resubmission issue and more attep-

parties are not divided. The tendency
seems to be to beat around the bush
and stir up any old thing for the sake
of making political capital, with little
regard to the truth, the welfare of the
State, or the best interests of the party.

EARLY MORNING FIRE.
Floyd Market Burned Out-Other
Losses In Building.

Fire in the Phillips building on Main
street at 4 O'Clock Monday morning re-
suited in losses aggregating over 5000.
The heaviest loss falls on the Floyd
Market, which occupied the ground floor.
ID. f. Hurley, whose law office was on the
second floor, was also heavy loser by the
fire. The building is owned by II. B.
Phillips, whose paper bex factory oecu-
pied the third floor, where there was also
some damage to stock. All were insured.
The fire evidently started in the south
east corner of the Floyd market In two
drawers here the stock of matches was
kept, and as there was no fire in the build
ing, the only theory that can be advanced
is 'smice and Matches.
At the point where the fire started it
burned through the floor into the base
ment, and had a good start when the
alarm was turned in. That the firemen
stopped it where they did is greatly to
their credit.
The stock in the market was ruined.
James l.. Floyd, manager of the market,
estimates the loss at over 5000. There
was an insurance of 81 900.
The nature of the stock in the market
caused greasy, sticky smoke, which
found its way through the entire build
ing. 1t was this smoke which wrought
havoc in the rooms above. Mr.. Hurley
owns one of the best law libraries in the
city, he having purchased the library of
the late George P. Dutton, which he has
added to from time to time since. His
greatest loss is on these books. The
smoke seemed to penetrate the book
cases and even closed drawers in the desk,
covering everything it reached with a
black covering which cannot be rubbed
off, Mr.. Hurley had 500 insurance, and
estimates his loss at fully that.
The loss on the building is compare
lively slight. From $500 to $500, it is esti-
mated, will repair the damage. Mr..
Phillips also had insurance, both on the
building and on box factory stock.
The Floyd market will resume business
as soon as possible. The work of repair
ing the building will begin Immediately
after the adjustment of insurance, and it
is probable that the market will remain at
the same place.
