For Sheriff.

Since our last issue more candi-
dates for the republican nomination
for sheriff have announced their in
tentions. Mr.. Day. Of Ellsworth, and
Mr.. Eddy, of Bar Harbor, whose an
nouncements were made last week,
have now to meet in convention
Dorephus L. Fields, Benjamin T.
Sowle and Lewis F. Hooper.
The three new candidates are all OF
Ellsworth, and are we'll known. Mr..
Fields is veteran of the Civil war;
he was sheriff for three terms-from
1884 to 1890, and has been deputy
for nearly dozen years.
While Mr.. Sowle has never held
public office, except that of tax col
lector, he is well known throughout
the county. Mr.. Hooper also served
two terms as sheriff-from 1896 to
1860. AT present he is not in good
health, but he hopes to recover in
season to participate actively in the
struggle for the nomination.
Two of the candidates have open
letters which may be found else
where in this issue, stating in un-
equivocal terms their attitude towards
the enforcement of all laws, but es-
pecially that Of the law against the
unlawful sale of liquor.

G.. G.. LONG DEAD.
Prominent Citizen of East Bluchill
Passes Away.

Prominent Citizen of East Biuehill
Passes Away.
EAST BLUEHILI, Feb. (speciallG. G.
Long, a prominent and esteemed citizen
of this place, and until recently postmas-
ter here, died Saturday. Mr.. Long had
been in failing health for several years.
The death OF his wife in the summer oil
of his own life went ont with hers.
Only about month ago Mr.. Long re-
signed the postmastership, which be had
held for fifteen years, and his family and
friends hoped that release from official
duties would result in restoring him to
health.
Mr.. Long was born in this town in 1885.
In 1857 he went to California by way OF
Panama, and the next fourteen years OF
his life were spent on the Pacific coast.
The first two years OF this time were spent
in California, where he attended the Pa
gon, where he engaged in teaching school.
While there he was elected county super
intendent OF schools for term OF two
years, but before the end of the term re-
signed to take a school in another county.
On May i, 1864, he married in Ore
gon a daughter of the state OF Iowa.
He returned to East BluehilI in 1870,
bringing with him his wife and three
daughters. For several years he ran a
general store, and fifteen years ago was
appointed to the postmastership.
As public official Mr.. Long was pains
taking and efficient, combining himself
closely to the duties at store and office,
and allowing himself little recreation.
he was an exemplary citizen, and a con-
sistent Mason. He was a past master OF
Ira Berry lodge OF Bluehili.
Mrs. Long died Aug. 2, 1902. Six
daughters survive-Mrs. w. NJ. Wardwell,
Mrs. Edwin w. Barton, Mrs. Ellis STAINS
field, Mrs. c. II. Wardwell, Mrs. Luther
y. Bridges and Miss Susie Long

fist church at o'clock Tuesday.

To the Editor Of The american:
As have received several letters, and
my friends also wish to know the position
which / take in regard to resubmission
and the enforcement Of the liquor law in
Hancock county, as well as in the State of
Maine, will state that in regard toresub-
mission do not believe in it.
Now in regard to the liquor law, | be-
licve most firmly in the enforcement of
the same to the very letter Of the law, and
II should receive the nomination at the
hands of my republican friends and be
elected, l should do everything in my
power to see that the law was enforced in
every respect. PEARL b. DAY.

In another column DR.. r. L. Grin
die, of Mt. Desert, one Of the st, ong
minds of the republican party, dis
cusses resubmission, and points out
the danger to the party should the
State convention declare for it, and
the danger to the State should the
legislature vote for it. Public senti-
ment in Hancock county Is unques-
tionably against resubmission, and
candidates, If they had any doubts
about it, are beginning to have them
dispelled. What Dr. Grindle has to
say is worthy of the NEST careful
attention.

printed from the Narragudgas Times
a notice of its advent, which, with a
little manipulation, became quite
pretty little compliment. The manip-
ulation consisted of the insertion of
nice little row of stars in place of
few words which gave an entirely
different complexion to the entire
paragraph. These are the words the
stars stood for: "a democratic paper
in favor of the strict enforcement of
the statutes, forsooth! Why, the
democratic papers of the State oppose
the enforcement of the statutes in
every issue, and those officers of the
law who are striving to attain an
enforcement of the statutes are
maligned by the democratic press
right along" That was the whole
meat of the Times paragraph, but the
stars looked prettier to the Democrat
editor. BY the way, who is the star
editor of the Democrat, anyway?

A Pretty story Spoiled.

The Hancock County Democrat
devoted half column of its valuable
space last week to an array of figures
Intended TO show an increase from
year to year in the amount paid to
~eosnty commissioners, and by in
snnendo asking its readers to believe
republican rascality was the cause.
In simple fairness such a statement
SHOULD have been accompanied by
seasons, if any, for the increase.
ASat such fairness seems to be no part
- aDf the democratic code of ethics.
E,hey are after unwary voters, and it
sCits them better TO tell half the truth
SEhen all the truth would spoil their
zseory.
For instance, they give the figures
showing the compensation of county
commissioners for the years 1890 to
1886, when, with fluctuations depend
emit on the varying amount of bust
sKsss of the several years, the tendency
vas upw ard, but it did not suit their
gparpose to give the figures for the six
years following, when with the ex-
~ csption of the year 1899, when the
addition to the court house was
building), they maintained a normal
level They make the fiimsy excuse
that the reports for those years were
not at hand.
1t served their purpose better to
jump to the year 1908, when the law
regarding State aid for highways had
= added greatly to the duties of the
,scsunty commissioners. They did not
rthink it necessary to explain this. 1t
would have spoiled their story.
The fact of the matter is there has
been no increase in the cost of the
county commissioners court beyond
the natural increase due to larger
volume of business in the county,
until the State road law was enacted.
This was in 1901, and the number of
towns appropriating money for State
roads has increased each year since,
until in 1904 there were eighteen
towns in this county which petitioned
for a State road, and in 1905, twenty
one towns. Each such petition means
two visits to the town by the county
commissioners, with the necessary
travelling expenses and extra days
service.
Way didn't the Democrat explain
this? 1t would spoil their story.
The absurdity of the Democrats
claim that if there had been at least
one democrat on the board of county
commissioners this expense would
have been materially lessened, be-
comes apparent when il is known
that the duties and compensations of
abe commissioners are regulated by
statute, and they could not, i: they
would ''pad" their bills, except posi-
bly, by lengthening their sessions
few days. Everyone familiar with the
business like expedition with which
= business has been transacted by re-
cent boards of county commissioners
knows this is not done.
"Win the people of Hancock county
= sry the experiment and see how it
works?'' asks the Democrat, meaning
the experiment of electing a demo-
= cratic county commissioner.
Well, we rather guess net. And if
, they did, it would spoil the Demo-
Gratis story.

That Wood-Lot.

Some two years ago the city of
Ellsworth, through it's municipal
officers, purchased wood-lot of some
sixty-five acres. The object of this
purchase was to supply the city, prin-
cipally the city poor farm, with wood.
1t was believed that in this way wood
could be obtained at less cost than
purchasing it all cut in the open
market.
The lot is located in the town of
Hancock, within easy hauling distance
of the poor farm. 1t Is heavily
wooded, and is estimated by COM
petent surveyors to contain from a,o0o

Warren G. Richards, who so delight ed an audience in the Mems club course, last winter, appears at the Town hall the evening of February 10. MT Richards is an artist, and 20 seasons before icritical audiences have made him master of his art, and a most fascinating art 1t is. His forte is the portrayal of character, both from everyday life and from the pages of our popular authors, in which his yer satility has not been surpassed.
 Through his genius of delineation and magnetism, the products of their pen become realities; the characters of the printed page stand before you, they think, talk, act-live. MT Richards stands in a class by himself; there is
 nothing more unique, and "the smart ness" Of his art has been recognized by people who have seen and heard the best the American and foreign stage and platform have had to offer. In Mr Richards work there is no striving for dramatic effect, no elocutionarY mannerisms. Naturalness is it's great est charm, appealing particularly to the cultured and intelligent. Gifted with marvellous powers of facial and
 vocal expression, and a never-to-be- forgotten lock of hair, he changes,
 without makeup, from one character to another with such ease that his hearers areaheld in constant wonder and delight at the life-like transfor- nations, so true to nature. MT Rich- ards has made a particular study of back-country types, so popular with amusement lovers nowadays, and is tnimttable in the portrayal of the quaint rural characters to be found in the poems and stories of James Whit comb Riley, Eugene Field, Sam Walter Floss, and other writers of their par t1cular school. A touch of tender pathos here and there only serves to make the humorous even more enjoy- able. A delightful feature is added to MT Richards entertainment, owing to

his ability as musician. His greatest realistic musical ac creation. est % :aThe m old 3 Hoosier and His Fiddle" This charm ing sketch has really made him famous, and is conceded, by competent critics, to be one of the most artistic and de- lightful portrayals ever given to the American stage or platform. In short, MT Richards has provided just what the intellectual public have sought in vain, an evening of pure, artistic fun, devoid of cOarseness, offensive carica- ture, cheap slang and buffoonery. AL though joy and laughter rule the hour, not a word is uttered to offend the most refined tastes, and the clergy are among his warmest admirers.
