Grand Master Of the Sir Knights.

Maine Masonry has peculiar claim
who was elected Grand Master of
knights Templar Of the United States
at the triennial conclave of this great
organization at Saratoga last week.
He was a Unive-salist clergyman in
Bath when he took his first steps in
Masonry and he was made Knight
Templar at Gardiner Jan. 8, 1854.
There was no cOmmandery in Bath at
that time and Rev. Mr.. Rugg with sew
eral others came to Gardiner where the
orders were conferred upon them by
Maine Commandery No. of that city.
comma ndery at that time was J. NJ.
Larrabee, now municipal judge of
Gardiner, and for the past half century
a leading and beloved figure in Ma
sonry in this section. In the party
which came from Bath We're John w.
Ballou and Charles Mcclellan both Of
whom have since been grand COM
man lers of the Grand Commandery of
Maine. Upon their return to Bath
they became charter members of Dun
lap Commandery No. of that city.
Late, Rev. DIR. Rugg moved to PrOvi-
dence, r. l., where he affiliated with
st. johns commandery of which he be-
came commander and in due time he
Grand Commandery of Massachusetts
and Rhode Island. At the triennial
conclave at Denver in 1892 he was
elected grand junior warden and has
since been advanced by election at sue
cessive cOnclaves until he is now the
honored head of Templar Masonry in
America, great body of Christian
knighthoOd with over 100000 members
Rev. DR.. Rugg is trustee of Tufts

of years. He is an active member Of
several educational, historical and
phlanthroric associations. He has
been Il prolific writer on Freemasonry
in all of whose branches he has been
active, and has delivered a great num-
Der of Masonic addresses, some of
which, on account of their Masonic and
literary value, have been issued in
printed form. He is the fourth from
New England to become the head of
Templarism in the United States, the

Let the Sentinel Defend Itself.

The kenncbec Journal is still Serl-
ously annoyed because the Sentinei
declines to advocate free trade. while
still advocating reduction of the
traiff and an enlarged free list, or. in
other words, reasonable tralff, au-
justed to meet present conditions, ana
especially desires us to quarrel WIFI
certain friends of ours who are more
redical in that respect than we are
Waterville Sentinel.
Far be it from the desire OF the
journal" that the Sentinel should
quarrel with any of it's Maine con-
temporaries. 1t has, however, asserted
in its columes, that the Maine
Democracy "favors reasonable
tariff" This assertion has been denied
in such good Democratic papers as the
Rockland Opinion and Lewiston Sun
which We're advocating the Vagarles
Of free trade before the Sentinel was
born-and by Charles E. Allen, the
Democratic sage of Cedar Grove, on
the editional page of the Eastern
Argus. Under the circumstances it
would appear to be peculiarly incum-
bent upon the Sentinel, which has as
serted the Maine Democracy to be in
entire accord on the questions of the
day. and which has undertaken to
educate" the people of Maine, includ-
ing the Democracy, which is specially
defend its position, and the alleged
position if its party in this State. Far
be it from the desire of the Journal
that it should approach this task in
any "quarrelsome" spirit. We would
not have it descend to epithet. We
should be panied to see it refer to any
of these opponents as a liar" a
wiper" Il RECKLESS falsifer" q
cur or an "Ananias" BY all means
let the discussion be friendly and
dignified, but at the same let it be
serious and determined. Let the
Sentinel, with that rich gift of express
sion which characterizes its silver
tongued editor, make it perfectly clear
to these dissenters>tha when it lays
down doctrine for the Maine
Democracy it knows whereof it speaks.

Lots of good people cannot afford
to own automobiles but any of us can
afford to take occasional trolley rides
during the hot months of summer and
about all the difference, after all, be-
tween riding through a country dis
trict in an automobile and in a trolley
car Is that the latter is cheaper and
less dangerous than the former and
also without the formers dust nuis-
ancc. When the extensions of the To-
cal trolley system are completed as
now planned for, trolley riding for
pleasure i'm this part Of the State will
undoubtedly he much more popular
than ever, and as the building of
these lines will close up the last re-
manning links needed to make Il con-
tinuous trolley system from the banks
of the Kcnnebec to Boston and New
York, vacation trips by trolley. oc-
cupying several days on the road and
stopping where and when convenient
will probably be more and more in
vogue.

The Sentinel in Error.

The Kennebec Journal has been an
outspoken opponent of resubmission
during two campaigns, calling resub-
missionists, advocates of free rum.
and resubmission papers, Organs of
the rum trust" and all of the rest
of the rot which it customarily sub
stitutes for argument on political
questions, but, when the votes were
counted, last September, and the Re-
publican majority was found to be
dangerously small. the Journal decid-
ed that it was in the wrong and
promptly advocated the doctrine which
it had long dcspised.
Sentinel.
The Sentinel cannot quote a line
from the Journal opposing rcsubmis-
sion. It's opposition in the last
campaign was not to resubmissionists
as such, but to the men and the news
papers that advocated it as a mere
step towards the licensing of the liquor
traffic When majority of the sober
minded citizens Maine make it evident
to the Legislature of this state that
will favor it for the same reason that
it favored the initiative and referen-
dunn viz. because it recognizes the
sovereignty of the people. and their
right to determine any question affect
| ing our civic life. 1t was evident,
| however, from the hearing before the
| temperance committee last winter, that
n majority of the people of Maine are
not yeti ready to pass upon that qucs-
| ton again. The advocates of rcsub-
| mission at that hearing were painfully
| few, and petitions from the people in
| its favor not i'm evidence. On the other
hand perfect flood Of rcmonstrances,
representing men of both political
parties, poured in from every section
| of the State. The reports of the hear
| ing would seem to indicate that even
| the silver tongued editor of the
Sentinel was conspicuous by his
| absence. Under the circumstances
there was good reason to believe that
a majority of the people of Maine were
not in favor of resubmission, and il
failed of passage.

The Lewiston Sun declares that If
the Democratic party had lived up to
the platform of the Hon. Charles f.
Allen. as published on the editorial
page of the Eastern Argus-viz. that
Democratic papers should "fearlessly
advocate a tariff for revenue only
without even hint of any sort of pro-
tection-it would have been much
better for the party and for the
country" Still the Waterville Sentinel
which asserts that the Maine Demo-
cracy "favors a reasonable tariff re-
mains silent. How long will it permit
this alleged principle of its party to be
thus assailed without coming to its
defence. ST boy!
