Defines His Position.

T. b. Barrett defines his position as
candidate for Representative, as follows:
Chief Justice Marshall has said !:
"Tbe very essence of civil liberty GER
tainly consists In the right of every in
! diyidual to claim the protection Of the
laws whenever he receives an injury
One of the frat duties of government is
to afford that protection At the pres
ent time we establish and MAINTAIN gov
ernment from necessity and for the
good We may derive from IT, The con-
stitution of state founded IN right and
justice seldom needs any change. Sta
bility in the constitution is a guaranty
of safety and protection to the people,
to give that desired stability two thirds
vote of the peoples chosen Representa-
tives In Legislature assembled Is neces-
sary TO submit to the people the ques-
tion of any proposed amendment to that
instrument, and majority vote of the
legal voters is necessary 10 effect such
change. BY the Initiative and Referen-
DUN | do not understand that 1t is pro-
posed to change our present method OF
making amendments to the constitution,
though the bill now being framed at
Augusta may undertake to change such
IiOAbOi phA 40 hON PAonphASN ~ ND
radical chang is proposed in the meth
ods of making aud enacting laws and in
fact the Initiative and Referendum,
though presenting some desirable feat
ures Is open to some objections and In
this and all other attempts to change the
constitution. think every Representa-
tive ought to be left free to exercise HIS
sworn duty in the light and knowledge
obtained by a thorough investigation,
giving of course due weight to the
known wishes of his constituents.
An amendment to our Constitution
made more than twenty years ago pro-
vides that "The manufacture of intoxi
eating liquors and by the sale and keep
ing for sale of Intoxicating liquors are
and shall be forever prohibited;' ;'-is
there anything wrong about thatP 10
my mind 1t presents great moral prin-
ciple for which all good and patriotic
men of. all parties may well afford to
contend and fight, even at the risk of
defeat at the polls. But we shall not
be defeated.
FOR myself heartily indorse the can
didacy of Governor Cobb for reelection
and the platform so manfully enunciat-
ed by him and upon which he has taken
his stand.

Once more the death angel has entered
our midst and removed the beloved
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. S. S Richard
son. Miss Lucille Maud Richardson was
only twenty years OF age aud while death
always brings sorrow, IL seems even hard
er when 1t claims the young. While
never strong girl, she was ever aoxious
for an education and persevered hard TO
obtain that end until she graduated from
the Pressure Isle High School last June.
In this as ia all her work she was true,
conscientious pupil After graduating
she began the study of music and was
making rapid Advancement for she could
indeed be called a true lover OF music.
The going out of this life is sad be-
reavement to those who were near aod
dear TO her. She seemed to be 10 her
usual health up to within two weeks of her
death, but the call came very sudden and
she passed away while in her chair The
doctor who was present at the time pro-
nounced 1t heart failure The dear ones
who were near when the end came truly
realized, "That Gods finger touched her
and she slept" A true christian life has
gone out and while those who mourn can
not see why this deep cup OF sorrow is
theirs, they can only look through their
tears of sorrow 10 Him who understands s
and who can bring strength for just such
trials as these. She leaves father, mo-
ther, two sisters and two brothers to
mourn the loss OF loving daughter and
sister. She died March 77,h and the
funeral was held from the house the fol-
lowing Friday at ten a. M. Rev. March
spoke words OF comfort TO the bereaved
family. Mr.. Richardson's people moved
to this place from Pfesque Isle Aroostook
Co. only last fall, but they have made
many warm friends who sympalhze with
them iu this their time of sorrow.

RHEUMATISM CURED

The Disease Yielded Readily to DR..

DIR. Williams Pink Pills cure rheuma-

elements to the vitiated blood and en-
and effect a cure Mrs. A. Baker, of No
119 Fitch street, Syracuse, N Y, will
furnish living evidence Of the truth Of
this statement. "There has been rheu

DR. Williams Pink Pills have cured
severe cases of rheumatism, sciatica,
nervousness, partial paralysis, locomo-
tor ataxia and St. Yitus' dance that

Maine Conference.
April 0, 1905.

The Maine Conference of the Metho-
dst Episcopal church conv, ned at the
Chestnut street church, Portland, Tues
day, and includes the ministers of the
entire western portion of the State
More than two hundred ministers and
their wives, together with other dis
tinguished visitors from various parts
of the United States are present The
street church since April 11th, 1888;
at which time Bishop Fowler presided.
| The presiding bishop of the present
session ia Bishop David II. Moore,
whose Episcopal residence is in Port
land. Oregon. He and the presiding
elders comprising his cabinet hold their
private sessions daily at Chestnut street
parsonage, 2I3 State st.
The Conference closes with the
reading of the appointments by the
bishop either Sunday night or Monday
morning.
The event of the week, aside from
the regular Conference sessions, was
Bishop Moore's lecture last night Ex
traordinary interest was attached to
this lecture not merely because of the
oratorical ability of the speaker, but
because for four years he was Bishop of
China; beginning his episcopal duties
there at the outbreak of the Baxter in
surrection, and closing his work amidst
the exciting scenes of the Russo Japan
ese war. He is an authority on all
questions relating to the Far East, and
his own thrilling experiences will IL.
lustrate what he has to say. 1t will be
remem bered that he was passenger on
the Russian transport Sungari at the
time 1t was caught at Chemulpo, and
after having been taken off the trans
port he saw 1t sent to the bottom of the
sea by the Japanese fleet For weeks
there was great uncertainty as to his
safety.
