The election of Mr.. Hughes as mayor
of Bath makes an interesting little COM
plication on the school board of that
city. Mr.. Hughes has served for one
term of two years as member from
Ward 6, and this year the Republicans
renominated and elected him for Sec
ond term. AS he is member of the
board ex-officio, by virtue of his office
as mayor, question arises as to wheth-
er vacancy in Ward has really been
created Journal.
If the conditions are the same in Bath
as in Belfast Mayor Hughes will have
to resign one of his offices. 1t was de-
cided here that member of the school
committee could not accept another
city office. The question came up when
a member of the school committee was
offered an appointment on the board of
registration.

Now that resubmission has been de-
feated in the legislature the Democrats
are saying that is just what they want
ed-they were not really in favor of re-
submission; they only wanted to put
the Republicans on record against it.
That must be very interesting to the
many Republicans who left their party
last September and voted with the
Democrats because they stood for re-
submission-an license. They should
have known better, of course. Was
the Democratic party ever honest about
anything at any time, anywhere, if they
thought they could gain votes by dis.
honesty? In all the agitation over pro-
hibition and license the Democrats
have proclaimed that they were in
favor of enforcement as long as the
prohibitory laws were on the statute
books; but did you ever know one to
enforce the law when in position to
DO SO, even after giving pledges in the
campaign that they would enforce
these laws to the letter. Their pres emit
attitude on resubmission gives the lie
to their party platform and admits
their dishonesty in the campaign of
1906. -

A STEADY DRAIN.
Sick Kidneys Weaken the Whole Body
Make You Ill, Languid and Depressed.

Sick kidneys weaken the body through the con-
tihual drainage Of life-giving albumen from the
blood into the urine, and the substitution of
poisonous uric acid that goes broadcast through
the SYSTEM sowing the seeds of disease. Loss of
albumen causes weakness, languor, depression.
URIC poison causes rheumatic pain, nervousness
nausea, cricks in the back, gravel and kidney
stones. The proper treatment is a kidney treat
ment, and the best remedy is Doan's Kidney
Pills. Great Belfast cures prove it.
MRS. Austin Dantorth of 10 Bay View Street
Belfast, Me-, says: II cannot find words to eX-
press my feeling of gratitude for what Doan's
Kidney Pills have done for my grandson. He is
now II years old. For the past four years he was
troubled greatly with weakness of the kidneys.
Night or day he was unable to exercise proper
control over the secretions, and we always had
to keep him under a watchful eye for fear he
would strain himself, because if he did the
trouble was aggravated. We gave him remedies
OF various kinds and he had been treated by
physicians, but all failed to help him. One day
we read an advertisement about Doan's X idney
Pills, and as they were recommended for chill
drens weaknesses a box was procured at the
City Drug Store and he was given some Less
than box made thorough and complete cure
and am only too pleased to recommend them
to mothers who have children annoyed with
weakness of the kidneys. Doan's Kidney Pills
are the remedy to use for this complaint"

The removal of the State capital is a

and no constitutional means of obtain
Ing that mandate; will it dare, without
the mandate, to take so bold step?

to other and varied head wear. We re-

The management Of the Augusta
Social and Athletic Association is
making arrangements for some i'm
provements at the CLUB room in the
near future which will so far toward
increasing the &ttractiveness of the
place. One of them is a fine billiard
table which will soon be installed in
the room on the street floor. There
are already two pool tables in the room
and with the addition of the billiard
table the experts with the cue will
have the most ample opportunity to
demonstrate their skill. 1t Is also in
tended to lay some bowling alleys in
the basement and the club is now in
correspondence with a we'll known
builder regarding them. 1t is likely
that the alleys will be laid before a
great while and when they are COM
pleted the club will be well equipped
for indoor sports of various kinds.
