A UNIQUE RECORD.
Not Another Like 1t in Our
Broad Republic.

To give positive home testimony
in every locality is OF itself unansw-
cradle proof of merit, but when We
add TO this the continued endorse
ment from people who testified
years ago no evidence can be strong
er. a Skowhegan citizen gratefully
Acknowledges the good received
from Deans Kidney Pills, and when
time has tested the cure We ind the
same hearty endorsement, with add
ed enthusiasm and continued praise.
Cases of this kind are plentiful in
the work OF Doan's Kidney Pills,
and such a record is unique IN the
annals of medicine.
Carlton c. Berry, Pine Street,
Skowhegan, Me. says; 'You can re-
new the statement gave in favor Of
Doan's Kidney Pills several years
ago, as l still think highly of them
The endorsement TO which Mr.
Berry refers was given in 1905 and
was substantially as follows: kid

How Reform Comes.

In renewing campaign speeches
made in Pennington by Obadiah
Gardner, the Democratic nominee for
Governor, and William r. Pattangall,
Esq, Democratic nominee for the
house in Waterville, the Pennington
Chronicle says:
To all criticism of dishonesty in the
conduct OF the States business we
raise no point of objection if honestly
presented, but what can be said in
defense of critic of Republican Of
ficials who himself exposes so vulner-
able point in his ewn armor? The
campaign is for honesty asserted both
Mr.. Pattangall and Mr.. Gardner, and
yet the former defined the Republican
plank on the proposed removal of un-
faithful officials as a move to have all
executive officers elected by the
people hold Office only at the plea
sure of the Governor. Is that inter
probation honest? One or both speak
ers claimed for the Democratic party
the truest allegiance to sobriety and
temperance. Is that honest? 1t was
claimed by the first speaker that the
object of demanding resubmission is
not to secure different legislation, but
to secure the opinion of the people.
Is that honest? He excused the Su-
preme court from doing its duty on
the ground that it was impossible. Is
that honest? He severely scored
Republican Office holders for stealing
fictitious expense accounts from the
public treasury I'VE do not defend the
practice but is it exactly honest to
neglect to state that Democratic
Office holders have done that same
thing, or to neglect to state that it is
a practice which the railroads built
up by offering to the public officials
the amount of their travelling expens-
es as present with which to exc out
their absurdly low salaries? The
practice is indefensible, but the his
tory of its growth, when honestly
stated, dulls the sharp edge of the
charge that the officials have been
rankly dishonest. He said, 1--WE insti-
tuted" an investigation of the office
of State superintendent of schools,
but is that just honest, when Repub-
hcan s, nator (Sewall of Sagadahoc)
introduced the order and a committee
which was Republican, to 2, report
Oh AhA. opCuSOA anu odiu TO
garding charging expense not actual
ly incurred 1--WE feel that the prac-
tlce is wholly repugnant to the moral
sense of the people and should be
condemned whenever and wherever
found" Members of the legislature
are granted large mileage rate for
expense in travelling to and from Au-
gusta. Did the Democrats accept
passes from the railroads and refuse
to collect the mileage, or did they
take both, as the most of the Repub-
licans did? The fact is, the Demo-
Gratis are as honest as the Republi-
cans and no more SO. This "holier
than thou" attitude will not please
the honest Democrats of Franklin
any more than it pleases honest Re-
publicans. Grant that Republican
officials have been dishonest. They
may have been. What hope of i'm
provement in a change of administra-
ton? We are willing to graft to the
opposition the credit of agitating for
reform, but the reform is coming and
has largely come already through the
party in power.

The mystery of the theft of $l73, 900
from the United States sub-treasury
at Chicago a year and half ago, one
of the largest losses the government
has ever sustained in this manner, is
believed to have been solved by the
arrest Sunday of George w. Fitz-
ge raid. Others are believed to have
been implicated in the crime which
for months completely baffied gov
eminent secret service men.

Heating the House.

One hears many objections to the
use Of furnaces. The most common
one is that rooms on the north side of
the house are hard 10 heat. II the
house Is in an exposed situation and
there Is heavy air pressure against
one side of the house, the heat is nat
urally driven TO the other side, for
not only is the cold air forced in on
the one side, but it is drawn out on
the other. 1t frequently happens
that such a house should not have
been heated by hot air, but by hot
water or steam; a mistake which the
heating engineer should have avoid
ed. frequent cause OF trouble
comes from having the furnace set in
the middle of the cellar, or perhaps
on the opposite side from the cold
rooms. This is a mistake; it should
be on the cold side, making the dis
lance to the coolest rooms as short as
possible. -Suburban Life.
