GLENDALE.

The following story Of an actual fact
came to us from Nanticoke district.
Three neighbors went to farm owned
by George H. Hall near Milford, recently
! for a load of corn. One Of them was
short of sacks to hold Lis purchase and
borrowed a sack from one of the other
two of his companions After reaching
home tie owner of the sack came for it,
and finding that it had not been emptieG,
took sack, corn and all away with him.
The owner Of the corn missed his proper
ty, and then got out a search warrant
and found it with the owner of the sack.
After parley and some Nanticoke law
was expounded, the matter was amicably
settled, all costs paid and friendly rela-
tions restored. This is the proper solu-
ton of this and all such petty cases; in
stead of putting the state to costs, etc.
We congratulate these parties for display
of good common sense, and suggest that
some Of Ellendale's citizens could profit
by this example; it would settle feuds
and make very many more happy.

An elaborate display of hospitality such
as has made the Hayes Mansion famous,
took place last Sunday at the home of

then asparagus fresh from Florida,
planked shad, stuffed tomatoes, salads,
strawberry short cake and all the good
things that Philadelphia markets can
supply. D. H. Reed, of E. and wife,

The Smoot Case Settled Right.

After years of delay and an endless
whole country has participated the
United States Senate has decided by
the vote of 40 to % that Senator Smoot
of Utah is entitled to the seat which he
has occupied so long. 1t has been i'm
possible to believe that the Senate
could reach any other conclusion when
the merits of the case were clearly I'M
derstood and the matter brought to a
vote on it's merits. The case has at no
time during its long progress been
fight against Senator SmoOt personally.
No doubt. however. a great part of
the people who have signed the petit
lions and resolutions in favor of his
expulsion from the Senate have done so
with the idea that he was polygamist.
AS a matter of fact, Senator Smoot
has only one wife and has never had a
greater number. His private life, as
we'll as his private career. has been
wholly free from any scandal. The
contest against him resolved itself
into an attack upon the Norman
church. But whatever the evils and
dangers of that great organization it
could not be seriously argued that
Senator Smoot should be expelled from
the Senate because of his religious
affiliations. Nobody has petitioned Con-
sress for the expulsion of Senator
Rayner of Maryland because he is a
Re is q Congregationalist. and the fact
that Senator Smont is 4 member 81 tn"

For the past half dozen years Yer
mont has gotten along without any
state fair. but now the legislature OF
that state has taken a step toward re-
viving the institution. Governor Proctor
has been empowered to appoint a COM
mission to select the time and place for
holding a state fair each year and to
have general supervision Of it. The
state will expend $1,000 yearly upon the
fair and the locality where it is held
must guarantee that all expenses in ex-
cess of the receipts and the appropria-
tion will he paid. 1t is probable that
the first fair will be held at Burling-
ton where a fund Of $4,000 is being
raised toward the project. 1t is hard
to understand how a state like Ver-
mont has been able to get along half a
dozen years without a state fair. Down
here in Maine we have three such in
situations and regard them as among
the necessities of life.

MAINE EDITORIAL COMMENT.
Nothing Definite Offered.
(RelfaSt JOurnal.)

tF1elldSl
The Portland Advertiser dies hard on
the capital-moving scheme 1t questions
the statement. made in Augusta by a
Portland man, that the half million
dollars offered by that city would be no
more than sufficient to secure a suitable
location. OF course, to be near the
theatres and hotels which are held out
as inducements for the proposed change
it will be necessary to buy property al
ready built upon, and when it is
known that the State wants to buy, i'm
dividual property owners will be apt to
raise their prices accordingly. This
Portland man may have overestimated
the value of real estate in his city, and
the Advertiser may know of vacant
lots, centrally located. which may be
had for a song. 1t is noticeable, how
ever. that TO definite location, or price,
has been mentioned by Sthe Portland
Capital-movers. AS to the cost of
duplicating the present State House.
since the addition was built prices of
labor and material have advanced
more than fifty per cent. and since the
old part was built not less than hum
drcd per cent. To duplicate this build
ing in Portland today two million dol
lars would seem a conservative esti-
mate; and our travels, to which the
Advertiser sneeringly refers. have been
extensive enough to have knowledge of
the erection of many public buildings
whose cost has largely exceeded the
estimates of their builders. AS fright
full example take the capitol at Albany,
New i DIRK; and there are others.

The journals Letters.

A correspondent of the Portland
Press ha-this to sly of the letters on
capital removal whiAh have been pub
lished in the Kennebsc Journal:
'The great truth is that the Augusta
agency is writing to As friends and
the friends respond in a, manner calcu-
lated to mislead."
The Journals letters of inquiry were
sent principally to town and Grange
officers all over Maine and tie answers
received cover nearly all the towns in
the State. We think it is entirely fair
to say that these men are exceptionally
well-placed to voice public sentiment
in their respective communities. We
had no possible way Of knowing in ad-
vance the sentiments entertained ~
these men. and we have placed before
our readers all the signed answers we
have received without reference to the
views they have expressed. While
comparatively few of these town and
Grange officials are known personally
to us, they are well known to Senators
from their counties and to the repre-
sentatives from their respective dis
tricts, and they, better than we, are
able to say whether or not they are
men who fairly voice the sentiment of
their localities. and whether or not
they are men who would express
themselves on this or any other public
question Sin a manner calculated to
mislead." If any further proof were
necessary to show that these town and
grange officers have fairly voiced the
sentiments of the people they represent
and serve it is found in the food of
remonstrances against capital removal
that is pouring into the Legislature
from every part Of Maine.

the Norman church as possible politi-
cal menace is very strong. 1t is a
good thing that the much discussed

ENJOY EATING.
Good Digestion Can be Readily Gained
with Mi-o-na Stomach Tablets.

1t is torment to look upon a tempt
ing dinner and realize that to eat
freely means distress and suffering.
Let us tell you how you can enjoy
eating, so that the heartiest meals
will set well and cause no pain, dis
tress or uncomfortable feeling of full
ness.
If you cannot eat and enjoy three
good. hearty, satisfying meals day
without any feeling of discomfort. your
stomach is weak and needs the
strength which Mi-o-na stomach
tablets will give it. You cannot afford
to delay treatment, for the longer you
allow the digestive organs to be weak,
the harder it will be 10 get help.
The remarkable curative and
strengthening power Of Mi-o-na is at
tested by the guarantee. which
Bowditch, Webster & Co, Of Augusta
and Geo. w. Dorr Of Waterville give
money if Mi-o-na fails to cure"
If you find that eating well-cooked
and properly chewed food is followed
by heaviness and load on the stomach,
by bloating. by gulping of acids and
wind. by distress. nervousness, head
ache. trouble to sleep, or by any other
symptoms of disordered or weak stom-
ach, you should begin the use of Mi
o-na at once. 1t is guaranteed by one
of the best known druggists in Au-
gusta and Waterville to cure all dis
orders of the stomach. or cost nothing.
A guarantee like this means a good
deal.

An Argus "Arqument."

In 1889. when Portland was making
one of its periodical attempts to cap
ture the State capital, and when those
Portland people who were behind the
movement offered $4,000 in real money
as an inducement instead of 100000 in
stage money. as is now the case, re-
peated reference was made by the en-
thusiastic Portlanders to the new State
House which Colorado was building at
"a total cost Of 100000 This figured
prominently in their arguments as
proving that Maine could erect a new
State House at cost not greater than
this sum. That was in 1889. That
new State House which Colorado was
erecting for 100000 has cost $4,000 900
up to date and is not yet completed.
Somehow the Portland boomers have
not dwelt extensively upon Colorado's
experiences during their present cam
paign.
But the Portland Argus, which con-
t'nues to- cling to the wreck of Port
newspaper have disappeared beneath
the surface. devotes a large part of it's
first page to picture of the new Cum
berland county court house which it as
sures us is to be completed in 1909 with
a total cost of SS5O.O00. 1t is not ap-
parent what this has to do with the
plan to make Portland the capital of
Maine but there is no mistaking the
close relationship of this court house
illustration to the famous Colorado
argument" of 1889 The Cumberland
county court house at the start was to
cost 100000. and now, two years be-
fore the time set for it's completion, it
is to cost sS5O,GOO and of course nobody
knows as a matter of fact how much in
excess Of this sum it will actually cost.
In the light of past experience the
Argus should have realized the folly of
dangling bait of this kind before the
people of Maine. On account Of their
stupidity" as another Portland paper
puts it, the people of Maine obstinately
refuse to swallow that kind of bait.
The Argus is wearing out its job type
ir vain when it tries to bambooZle the
intelligent people Of this State into the
idea that a new State House could be
built in Portland at a cost of only a
million, or two millions for that matter.
